Basis of Presentation
2023 Chapter 11 Cases
On August 28, 2023 (“2023 Petition Date”), the Company voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings (“2023 Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the U.S. Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (“Bankruptcy Court”). On September 20, 2023, the directors of the Company initiated examinership proceedings with respect to Mallinckrodt plc by presenting a petition to the High Court of Ireland pursuant to Section 510(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2014 seeking the appointment of an examiner to Mallinckrodt plc. On October 10, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of reorganization (“2023 Plan”). Subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court’s order confirming the 2023 Plan, the High Court of Ireland made an order confirming a scheme of arrangement on November 10, 2023, which is based on and consistent in all respects with the 2023 Plan (“2023 Scheme of Arrangement”). The 2023 Plan and the 2023 Scheme of Arrangement became effective on November 14, 2023, (“2023 Effective Date”), and the Company emerged from the 2023 Chapter 11 Cases and the Irish examinership proceedings (together, the “2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings”) on that date. See Note 2 for further information on the 2023 Plan and emergence from the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings.
2020 Chapter 11 Cases
On October 12, 2020 (“2020 Petition Date”), the Company voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings (“2020 Chapter 11 Cases”). On March 2, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of reorganization (“2020 Plan”). Subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court’s order confirming the 2020 Chapter 11 Cases, the High Court of Ireland made an order confirming a scheme of arrangement on April 27, 2022, which was based on and consistent in all respects with the 2020 Plan (“2020 Scheme of Arrangement”). On June 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a minor modification to the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan became effective on June 16, 2022 (“2020 Effective Date”), and the Company emerged from the 2020 Chapter 11 Cases and the Irish examinership proceedings (together, the “2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings”) on that date. See Note 2 for further information on the 2020 Plan and emergence from the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings.
Adoption of Fresh-Start Accounting
Upon emergence from both the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings on November 14, 2023 and the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings on June 16, 2022, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of each of the 2020 Effective Date and the 2023 Effective Date. References to "Successor" relate to the financial position as of December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to November 14, 2023, while references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position as of December 30, 2022 and results of operations of the Company for the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023, the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022, and for the periods prior to, and including June 16, 2022. All emergence-related transactions related to the 2020 Effective Date and the 2023 Effective Date were recorded as of June 16, 2022 and November 14, 2023, respectively. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the Successor are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor periods and the consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor periods June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor period prior to and including June 16, 2022. See Note 3 for further information.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the results reported.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described within Note 5. In connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting on the 2020 Effective Date, the Company elected to make an accounting policy change as described below:
Predecessor Contingencies — Legal fees pertaining to asbestos-related matters were estimated and accrued as part of the Company's projected asbestos liability.
Contingencies as of the 2020 Effective Date — Legal fees pertaining to asbestos matters are expensed as incurred.
This change in accounting policy resulted in a $22.8 million fresh-start adjustment to the asbestos-related liability and a $20.3 million adjustment to the corresponding indemnification receivable as of the 2020 Effective Date.
Also in connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company made a change in estimate related to the Specialty Generics segment inventory turn calculation. This prospective change resulted in the discrete amortization of $20.5 million of capitalized variances with $19.9 million and $0.6 million recognized in June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) and December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), respectively.
The results of entities disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal and, where appropriate, these operations have been reported in discontinued operations. Divestitures of product lines and businesses not meeting the criteria for discontinued operations have been reflected in operating loss.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports its results based on a “52-53 week” year ending on the last Friday of December. The year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) (“fiscal 2024”), the combined periods of December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) and November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor) (“fiscal 2023”) and the combined periods of January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor) and June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) (“fiscal 2022”) consisted of 52 weeks.

| 2. | Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization |
During the pendency of the 2023 and 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings, the Company and each of the respective debtors and debtors in-possession in the 2023 Chapter 11 Cases (“2023 Debtors”) and the 2020 Chapter 11 Cases (“2020 Debtors”) operated their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. As debtors-in-possession, the 2023 and 2020 Debtors were authorized to continue to operate as ongoing businesses, and were allowed to pay all debts and honor all obligations arising in the ordinary course of their businesses after the respective 2023 and 2020 Petition Dates. However, the 2023 and 2020 Debtors were not allowed to pay third-party claims or creditors on account of obligations arising before the respective 2023 or 2020 Petition Dates or engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, third-party actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness owed by the 2023 and 2020 Debtors, as well as most litigation pending against the Company as of the 2023 and 2020 Petition Dates, were subject to an automatic stay. See “Plan of Reorganization” below for the distributions to creditors and interest holders.

•The 2023 Debtors’ non-monetary obligations to the Trust were generally preserved, including the compliance-related operating injunction;

•All of Mallinckrodt ordinary shares were cancelled for no consideration.

Pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement, the Company issued 1,036,649 contingent value rights (“Opioid CVRs”) to the Trust, which Opioid CVRs entitle the Trust to receive from the Company, when exercised, an amount in cash equal to (a) the Market Price (as defined in the CVR Agreement) of one new ordinary share of the Company (subject to adjustment as described in the CVR Agreement) at the time of exercise less (b) $99.36 (subject to adjustment as described in the CVR Agreement) (“Cash Payment”), subject to the right of the Company to, at its option but subject to certain conditions, issue new ordinary shares to the Trust in lieu of making some or all of the Cash Payment due upon exercise in accordance with the terms of the CVR Agreement. The Opioid CVRs are exercisable at any time for four years after the 2023 Effective Date.
Upon entering into the CVR Agreement the terms of the final amendment to the opioid-related litigation settlement (“Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement”) obligation agreement (“Opioid Deferred Cash Payment Agreement”) and the Company's prior obligation to pay all remaining Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement payment obligations (“Opioid Deferred Cash Payment”) were permanently eliminated.

Each holder of an allowed claim related to the outstanding 10.00% first lien senior secured notes due 2025 issued by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (“2025 First Lien Notes”) pursuant to the indenture, dated as of April 7, 2020, the outstanding 11.50% first lien senior secured notes due 2028 issued by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (“2028 First Lien Notes” and, together with the 2025 First Lien Notes, the “First Lien Notes”) pursuant to the indenture, dated as of June 16, 2022, or the first lien senior secured term loans due 2027 borrowed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to the credit agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and the lenders party thereto, Acquiom Agency Services LLC and Seaport Loan Products LLC, as co-administrative agents, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as collateral agent (“First Lien Term Loans” and, collectively with the First Lien Notes, the “First Lien Debt”), elected to receive such Takeback Debt either in the form of Second-Out Takeback Term Loans or Takeback Notes.
2020 Plan
In accordance with the effectuated 2020 Plan, the following significant transactions occurred upon the Company's emergence from the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings on the 2020 Effective Date:
Resolution of Opioid-Related Claims.
Pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, all previous opioid claims against the Company and its subsidiaries were deemed to have been settled, discharged, waived, released and extinguished in full, and the Company and its subsidiaries ceased to have any liability or obligation with respect to such claims, which were treated in accordance with the 2020 Plan as follows:
◦Opioid claims were channeled to certain trusts, which were to receive $1,725.0 million in deferred payments from the Company and certain of its subsidiaries consisting of (i) a $450.0 million payment upon the 2020 Effective Date (of which $2.6 million was prefunded); (ii) a $200.0 million payment upon each of the first and second anniversaries of the 2020 Effective Date; (iii) a $150.0 million payment upon each of the third through seventh anniversaries of the 2020 Effective Date; and (iv) a $125.0 million payment upon the eighth anniversary of the 2020 Effective Date (collectively, the “Opioid Deferred Payments”) with the Company retaining an eighteen-month option to prepay outstanding Opioid Deferred Payments (other than the initial 2020 Effective Date payment) at a discount (and to prepay the Opioid Deferred Payments at their undiscounted value even after the expiration of such eighteen-month period). The Opioid Deferred Payments were unsecured and were guaranteed by Mallinckrodt and its subsidiaries that were borrowers, issuers or guarantors under the First Lien Term Loans, the 2028 First Lien Notes, the 2025 First Lien Notes, the 2025 Second Lien Notes (as defined below) and the 2029 Second Lien Notes (as defined below), and certain future indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions). The Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Agreement contained affirmative and negative covenants (including an obligation to offer to pay the Opioid Deferred Payments without discount upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events) and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Agreement could result in the required repayment of all outstanding Opioid Deferred Payments and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of certain indebtedness of Mallinckrodt and its subsidiaries. The Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Agreement was subsequently permanently eliminated as discussed above in “2023 Plan.”
•Opioid claimants also received, in addition to other potential consideration, 3,290,675 warrants for approximately 19.99% of the Predecessor's new ordinary shares, with a nominal value $0.01 per share, after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants, but subject to dilution from equity reserved under the management incentive plan, exercisable at any time on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the 2020 Effective Date, at a strike price of $103.40 per ordinary share (“Opioid Warrants”).
These Opioid Warrants were subsequently repurchased during the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) for $4.0 million.
•Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, certain subsidiaries of the Company remained subject to an agreed-upon operating injunction with respect to the operation of their opioid business. The Company reaffirmed the obligations contained in the operating injunction in connection with the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings.
Governmental Acthar Gel-Related Settlement
Pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, on the 2020 Effective Date, all claims of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other governmental parties relating to Acthar Gel against the Company were deemed to have been settled, discharged, waived, released and extinguished in full, and the Company ceased to have any liability or obligation with respect to such claims, which were treated in accordance with the 2020 Plan and the terms of the settlement as summarized below:
•The Company entered into an agreement with the DOJ and other governmental parties to settle a range of litigation matters and disputes relating to Acthar Gel (“Acthar Gel-Related Settlement”) including a Medicaid lawsuit with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a related False Claims Act (“FCA”) lawsuit in Boston, and an Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“EDPA”) FCA lawsuit principally relating to interactions of Acthar Gel's previous owner (Questcor Pharmaceuticals Inc.) with an independent charitable foundation. To implement the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, the Company entered into two settlement agreements with the U.S. and certain relators. Under the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, which was conditioned upon the Company commencing its 2020 Chapter 11 Cases and provided for the distributions the applicable claimants received under the 2020 Plan, the Company agreed to pay $260.0 million to the DOJ and other parties over seven years and reset Acthar Gel’s Medicaid rebate calculation as of July 1, 2020, such that state Medicaid programs would receive 100% rebates on Acthar Gel Medicaid sales, based on then-current Acthar Gel pricing. The $260.0 million in payments consists of (i) a $15.0 million payment upon the 2020 Effective Date; (ii) a $15.0 million payment upon the first anniversary of the 2020 Effective Date; (iii) a $20.0 million payment upon each of the second and third anniversaries of the 2020 Effective Date; (iv) a $32.5 million payment upon each of the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the 2020 Effective Date; and (v) a $62.5 million payment upon the sixth and seventh anniversaries of the 2020 Effective Date. Also in connection with the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, the Company entered into (a) separate settlement agreements with certain states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and the above-noted relators, which further implement the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, and (b) a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in March 2022. As a result of these agreements, upon effectiveness of the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement in connection with the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan, the U.S. Government dropped its demand for approximately $640 million in retrospective Medicaid rebates for Acthar Gel and agreed to dismiss the FCA lawsuit in Boston and the EDPA FCA lawsuit. Similarly, state and territory Attorneys General also dropped related lawsuits. In turn, the Company dismissed its appeal of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia's adverse decision in the Medicaid lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
•Mallinckrodt entered into the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement with the DOJ and other governmental parties solely to move past these litigation matters and disputes and does not make any admission of liability or wrongdoing.
•In accordance with the effectuated Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, on June 28, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing the federal government's FCA lawsuit with prejudice, and further ordered the related state lawsuits dismissed without prejudice.
•In accordance with the effectuated Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, on July 20, 2022, the court entered an order dismissing the EDPA FCA lawsuit with prejudice.
•As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), the Company has $214.7 million and $236.1 million of remaining obligation with respect to the Acthar Gel-Related Litigation Settlement, respectively.

Pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, on the 2020 Effective Date, lenders holding allowed claims in respect of the predecessor senior secured term loans due September 2024 (“2024 Term Loans”) and predecessor senior secured term loans due February 2025 (“2025 Term Loans” and, together with the 2024 Term Loans, the “Predecessor Term Loans”) incurred by the Issuers received their pro rata share of the 2017 Replacement Term Loans (in the case of the 2024 Term Loans) or the 2018 Replacement Term Loans (in the case of the 2025 Term Loans) and payment in cash of an exit fee equal to 1.00% of the remaining principal amount of Predecessor Term Loans held by such lenders in satisfaction thereof.
Pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, on the 2020 Effective Date, lenders’ allowed claims in respect of the existing $900.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Predecessor Revolver”) incurred by the Issuers and certain of their respective subsidiaries were paid in full in cash.

Discharge of Mallinckrodt's Guaranteed Unsecured Notes
Pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, on the 2020 Effective Date, holders of allowed claims in respect of the Issuers' 5.75% senior notes due 2022, the 5.625% senior notes due 2023 and the 5.50% senior notes due 2025 (“Predecessor Guaranteed Unsecured Notes”) received their pro rata share of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 10.00% second lien senior secured notes due 2029 (“2029 Second Lien Notes” and together with the 2025 Second Lien Notes, the “Second Lien Notes”) and 100% of the new 13,170,932 ordinary shares issued on the 2020 Effective Date, subject to dilution by the Opioid Warrants described above and the management incentive plan.

On June 30, 2022, subsequent to the 2020 Effective Date, the Company completed the sale of its PRV for $100.0 million and received net proceeds of $65.0 million as the buyer remitted the remaining $35.0 million to the General Unsecured Claims Trustee pursuant to the terms of (i) the 2020 Plan, and (ii) that certain General Unsecured Claims Trust Agreement entered into in connection with the 2020 Plan.

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Warrant Termination Agreement, which also occurred on December 8, 2022, the Company and the warrant agent entered into an amendment to the warrant agreement that accelerated the expiration of the Opioid Warrants to such date. As a result of such expiration, the Opioid Warrants were cancelled and each of the warrant agreement and the registration rights agreement that were entered into on the 2020 Effective Date terminated in accordance with its terms.

Such order required that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the Predecessor Revolver and Predecessor Term Loans for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition fees, unpaid pre-petition interest (at the specified contract rate) and post-petition interest (at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 200 basis points), quarterly amortization payments on the Predecessor Term Loans and reimbursement of certain costs. Such order further required that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the 2025 First Lien Notes and the Predecessor 2025 Second Lien Notes for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition interest (at the specified non-default interest rate) and reimbursement of certain costs. On April 13, 2021, the 2020 Debtors received Bankruptcy Court approval of their motion to amend the final cash collateral order as of March 22, 2021 to pay post-petition interest on the Predecessor Term Loans at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted LIBOR, plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 250 basis points for its Predecessor Term Loans. The cash collateral order expired on June 16, 2022 (Predecessor).
Interest expense incurred and paid with respect to the incremental adequate protection payments of 200 basis points and 250 basis points on the Predecessor Revolver and the Predecessor Term Loans, respectively, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Predecessor |
| | | | | Period from
January 1, 2022
through
June 16. 2022 | | |
| Interest expense incurred for adequate protection payments | | | | | $ | 28.8 | | | |
| Cash paid for adequate protection payments | | | | | 28.8 | | | |
Contractual interest
While the 2023 Chapter 11 Cases were pending, the Company was not accruing interest on the Second Lien Notes as of the 2023 Petition Date on a go-forward basis as the 2023 Debtors did not anticipate making interest payments due under the Second Lien Notes. The total aggregate amount of interest payments contractually due under the predecessor Second Lien Notes for the period December 31, 2022 to November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), which the Company did not pay, was $48.5 million. The 2023 Debtors paid all interest payments in full as they came due under the predecessor First Lien Debt.
While the 2020 Chapter 11 Cases were pending, the Company was not accruing interest on its predecessor unsecured debt instruments as of the 2020 Petition Date on a go-forward basis as the 2020 Debtors did not anticipate making interest payments due under their respective predecessor unsecured debt instruments; however, the 2020 Debtors expected to pay all interest payments in full as they came due under their respective predecessor senior secured debt instruments. The total aggregate amount of interest payments contractually due under the Company's predecessor unsecured debt instruments, which the Company did not pay as the obligation was extinguished pursuant to the 2020 Plan, was $46.5 million for the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor).
2023 Fresh-Start Accounting
The Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting as of the 2023 Effective Date in accordance with ASC 852 as (i) the reorganization value of the assets of the Company immediately prior to the date of effectuation of the 2023 Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of the voting shares of the Predecessor immediately before effectuation of the 2023 Plan received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor.
Reorganization Value
Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor's total assets and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after restructuring. Upon the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations. Deferred income tax amounts were determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes.
As set forth in the disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the enterprise value of the Successor was estimated to be between $2,700.0 million and $3,200.0 million, with a midpoint of $2,950.0 million, which was estimated with the assistance of third-party valuation advisors using various valuation methods, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the business based on its projection, and (ii) comparable public company analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operation and financial characteristics. The estimated enterprise value per the disclosure statement included estimated equity value in a range between $1,110.0 million and $1,610.0 million, with a midpoint of $1,360.0 million.
The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the enterprise value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s enterprise value.
The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the implied fair value of the Successor's equity as of the 2023 Effective Date:
| | | | | | | | |
| Enterprise value | | $ | 2,950.0 | |
Plus: Non-operating assets, net (1) | | 290.0 | |
Less: Fair value of debt | | (1,882.7) | |
Less: Fair value of Acthar Gel-Related Settlement and Terlivaz contingent value rights | | (162.5) | |
| Successor equity value | | $ | 1,194.8 | |
(1)Represents non-operating assets and liabilities which were excluded from the enterprise value as put forth in the disclosure statement as there were no cash projections associated with these net assets.
Upon the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values. Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor’s assets before considering liabilities.

Consolidated Balance Sheet
The four-column consolidated balance sheet as of the 2023 Effective Date included herein, applies effects of the 2023 Plan (reflected in the column “Reorganization Adjustments”) and fresh-start accounting (reflected in the column “Fresh-Start Adjustments”) to the carrying values and classifications of assets or liabilities. Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the reported historical financial statements of the Predecessor prior to the adoption of fresh-start accounting for periods ended on or prior to the 2023 Effective Date are not comparable to those of the Successor. The explanatory notes highlight methods used to determine fair values or other amounts of the assets and liabilities as well as significant assumptions.

Fresh-Start Adjustments
(o)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's inventory. Both the bottom-up and top-down approach were used. The bottom-up approach considers the inventory value that had been created by the Company including the costs incurred, profit realized, and tangible and intangible assets used pre-2023 Effective Date. The top-down approach measures the incremental inventory value created by the market participant buyer as part of its selling effort to an end customer and considers the costs that will be incurred, the profit that will be realized, and the tangible and intangible assets that will be used post-2023 Effective Date.
(p)Reflects the reduction of prepaid income taxes due to remeasurement as a result of fresh-start accounting.
(q)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's property, plant and equipment. Both the market and cost approaches were utilized to fair value land and buildings. The cost approach was utilized to fair value capitalized software and machinery and equipment. Construction in process was reported at its cost. The results from all approaches were adjusted for the impact of economic obsolescence.
(r)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's intangible assets. The fair value of the completed technology intangible assets were determined using the income approach. The cash flows were discounted commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset within its projected cash flows. The discount rates applied to the intangible assets consider the overall risk of the business, which reflects a level of risk commensurate with the Company having emerged from bankruptcy twice in the most recent two fiscal years. In addition, the intangible asset discount rates reflect differences in risk within each business segment, as well as the impact of certain tax attributes recorded on the balance sheet. The valuation used discount rates ranging from 13.5% through 52.5%, depending on the asset. See Note 13 for further information on intangible assets.
(s)Reflects the net increase on the Company's deferred tax assets as a result of fresh-start accounting, primarily driven by the fair value adjustment on the Company's intangible assets.
(t)The Company’s lease obligations were revalued using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company upon emergence from the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings and commensurate with its new capital structure. The incremental borrowing rate used in the revaluation of the lease obligations decreased from 13.2% in the Predecessor period to 8.1% in the Successor period. The revaluation of lease obligations includes the adjustment for contract-based off-market intangibles for favorable or unfavorable terms to the right-of-use assets as well as the removal of right-of-use assets (and affiliated lease liabilities) associated with the Company’s leases with a remaining contract term of less than one year as of the 2023 Effective Date. The revaluation resulted in an increase in the right-of-use asset of $12.5 million.
(u)Reflects an adjustment of $0.1 million to decrease the Company's current lease liabilities as a result of the revaluation of the lease obligations as described in footnote (t) above.
(v)Reflects the reduction of the Company's deferred tax liabilities as a result of fresh-start accounting.
(w)Reflects the (i) fair value adjustment to the contingent value rights associated with Terlivaz (“Terlivaz CVR”) utilizing a net present value of a probability-weighted assessment estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company determined the fair value adjustment to be $14.9 million; and (ii) an increase to the Company's non-current lease liabilities of $12.7 million as described in footnote (t) above.
(x)Reflects the fair value adjustment to the Acthar Gel-Related Settlement liability utilizing a discounted cash flow model with an average credit-adjusted discount rate of 13.3%.
(y)Reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate the accumulated other comprehensive income of $10.0 million related to pension benefits and $5.7 million of cash flow hedges, partially offset by the elimination $2.1 million of currency translation adjustment and $2.5 million of income tax effects, which resulted in income tax benefit of zero.
(z)The cumulative effect of the fresh-start accounting on the Successor's retained deficit is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Fresh-start adjustment: | | |
| Inventories | | $ | 257.6 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | (150.2) | |
Intangible assets | | (1,633.7) | |

2020 Fresh-Start Accounting
The Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting as of the 2020 Effective Date in accordance with ASC 852 as (i) the reorganization value of the assets of the Company immediately prior to the 2020 Effective Date was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of the voting shares of the Company immediately before the 2020 Effective Date received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Company after the 2020 Effective Date.
Reorganization Value
Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Company's total assets immediately after the 2020 Effective Date and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after restructuring. Upon the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations. Deferred income tax amounts were determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes.
As set forth in the disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the enterprise value of the Company immediately after the 2020 Effective Date was estimated to be between $5,200.0 million and $5,700.0 million, with a midpoint of $5,450.0 million, which was estimated with the assistance of third-party valuation advisors using various valuation methods, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the business based on its projection, and (ii) comparable public company analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operation and financial characteristics. The estimated enterprise value per the disclosure statement included estimated equity value in a range between $563.0 million and $1,063.0 million, with a midpoint of $813.0 million. Subsequent to the filing of the disclosure statement, the Company made revisions to certain of the cash flow projections due to declines in projected operating performance. Based upon a reevaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value and updated expected cash flow projections, the Company concluded the enterprise value, or fair value, was $5,223.0 million.
The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the enterprise value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company considered such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they were inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which were beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not have been realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s enterprise value.
The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the implied fair value of the Company's equity as of the 2020 Effective Date:

Consolidated Balance Sheet
The four-column consolidated balance sheet as of the 2020 Effective Date included herein, applies effects of the 2020 Plan (reflected in the column “Reorganization Adjustments”) and fresh-start accounting (reflected in the column “Fresh-Start Adjustments”) to the carrying values and classifications of assets or liabilities. Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the reported historical financial statements of the Company prior to the adoption of fresh-start accounting for periods ended on or prior to the 2020 Effective Date are not comparable to those of the Company after the 2020 Effective Date. The explanatory notes highlight methods used to determine fair values or other amounts of the assets and liabilities as well as significant assumptions.

Fresh-Start Adjustments
(q)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's inventory. Both the bottom-up and top-down approach were used. The bottom-up approach considers the inventory value that had been created by the Company including the costs incurred, profit realized, and tangible and intangible assets used pre-2020 Effective Date. The top-down approach measures the incremental inventory value created by the market participant buyer as part of its selling effort to an end customer and considers the costs that will be incurred, the profit that will be realized, and the tangible and intangible assets that will be used post-2020 Effective Date.
(r)Reflects the reduction of $54.0 million in prepaid income taxes due to remeasurement as a result of fresh-start accounting. Also reflects a write-off of $4.3 million of asbestos indemnification receivable affiliated with asbestos-related defense costs.
(s)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's property, plant and equipment. Both the market and cost approaches were utilized to fair value land and buildings. The cost approach was utilized to fair value capitalized software and machinery and equipment. Construction in process was reported at its cost less adjustments for economic obsolescence.
(t)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's intangible assets. The fair value of the completed technology and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets were determined using the income approach. The cash flows were discounted commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset or its projected cash flows. The valuation used discount rates ranging from 13.0% through 15.0%, depending on the asset. The IPR&D discount rate was developed after assigning a probability of success to achieving the projected cash flows based on the current stages of development, inherent uncertainty in the FDA approval process and risks associated with commercialization of a new product.
(u)Reflects the write-off of (i) $16.0 million of asbestos indemnification receivable affiliated with asbestos-related defense costs; (ii) $3.9 million of spare parts that did not meet the Company's capitalization threshold; and (iii) $1.1 million of third party debt issuance costs. Also reflects a decrease of $0.9 million to income tax receivables associated with a change in uncertain tax positions as a result of fresh-start accounting.
In addition, the Company’s lease obligations were revalued using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company upon emergence from the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings and commensurate with its new capital structure. The incremental borrowing rate used in the revaluation of the lease obligations increased from 8.85% in the period prior to the 2020 Effective Date to 11.83% in the period after the 2020 Effective Date. The revaluation of lease obligations includes the adjustment for contract-based off-market intangibles for favorable or unfavorable terms to the right-of-use assets as well as the removal of right-of-use assets (and affiliated lease liabilities) associated with the Company’s leases with a remaining contract term of less than one year as of the 2020 Effective Date. The revaluation resulted in a reduction in the right-of-use asset of $1.6 million.
(v)Reflects the write-off of (i) $6.1 million and $16.7 million of current and non-current asbestos-related defense costs, respectively; and (ii) an adjustment of $6.9 million to increase the Company's total lease liabilities as a result of the revaluation of the lease obligations as described in footnote (u) above.
(w)Reflects the write-off of $5.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and a $23.5 million fair value adjustment to debt principal as determined by the Black-Derman-Toy model related to the reinstated 2025 First Lien Notes.
(x)Reflects the reduction of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that are no longer required upon emergence from the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings.
(y)Reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate the accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.1 million related to pension benefits and $2.1 million of currency translation adjustment, partially offset by the elimination of $0.3 million of income tax effects, which resulted in income tax benefit of $0.3 million.
(z)The cumulative effect of the fresh-start accounting on the predecessor's retained deficit as of the 2020 Effective Date was as follows:

The Company also enters into arrangements with health care providers and payers, wholesalers, government agencies, institutions, managed care organizations and group purchasing organizations to establish contract pricing for certain products that provide for government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) and/or privately-negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, sales incentives, chargebacks, distribution service agreements fees, fees for services and administration fees and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products.
Reserve for Variable Considerations
Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. These reserves result from estimated government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) and/or privately-negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, sales incentives, chargebacks, distribution service agreements fees, fees for services and administration fees and discounts that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers and , health care providers and payers, government agencies, institutions, managed care organizations and group purchasing organizations health care providers and payers relating to the sale of the Company's products. These reserves are based on the expected value method and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customer) or as a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, estimated future trends, estimated customer inventory levels, current contractual agreements, and the level of utilization of the Company’s products. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimate of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained (reduced) and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. The Company adjusts reserves for chargebacks, government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) rebates, privately negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, product returns and other sales deductions to reflect differences between estimated and actual experience either on a monthly or quarterly basis (dependent on the deduction type). Such adjustments impact the amount of net sales recognized in the period of adjustment.
Product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company's product. Control is transferred either at a point in time, generally upon delivery to the customer site, or in the case of certain of the Company's products, over the period in which the customer has access to the product and related services. Revenue recognized over time is based upon either consumption of the product or passage of time based upon the Company's determination of the measure that best aligns with how the obligation is satisfied. The Company's considerations of why such measures provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of its products are as follows:
•For those contracts whereby revenue is recognized over time based upon consumption of the product, the Company either has:
1.the right to invoice the customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company's performance to date, for which the practical expedient to recognize in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice has been applied, or
2.the remaining goods and services to which the customer is entitled is diminished upon consumption.
•For those contracts whereby revenue is recognized over time based upon the passage of time, the benefit that the customer receives from unlimited access to the Company's product does not vary, regardless of consumption. As a result, the Company's obligation diminishes with the passage of time; therefore, ratable recognition of the transaction price over the contract period is the measure that best aligns with how the obligation is satisfied.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The majority of the Company's contracts have a term of less than one year; and the amount of transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied at period end is generally expected to be satisfied within one year.
Cost to obtain a contract
As the majority of the Company's contracts are short-term in nature, sales commissions are generally expensed when incurred as the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations. For contracts that extend beyond one year, the incremental expense recognition matches the recognition of related revenue.
Costs to fulfill a contract
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the devices used in the Company's portfolio of drug-device combination products, which are used in satisfaction of future performance obligations. Capital expenditures for these devices represent cash outflows for the Company's cost to produce the asset, which is classified in property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and expensed to cost of sales over the useful life of the equipment.
Product Royalty Revenues
The Company licensed certain rights to Amitiza® (lubiprostone) (“Amitiza”) to third parties in exchange for royalties on net sales of the product. The Company recognized such royalty revenue as the related sales occurred.
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payments received from customers are typically based upon payment terms of 30 days. The Company does not maintain contract asset balances aside from the accounts receivable balance as presented on the consolidated balance sheets as costs to obtain a contract are expensed when incurred as the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within SG&A on the consolidated statements of operations. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company's performance, including amounts that are refundable.
Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis. Accordingly, such taxes are excluded from both net sales and expenses.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping costs, which are costs incurred to physically move product from the Company's premises to the customer's premises, are classified as SG&A. Handling costs, which are costs incurred to store, move and prepare product for shipment, are classified as cost of sales. Shipping costs included in SG&A expenses in continuing operations were as follows:

Research and Development
Internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include salary and benefits, allocated overhead and occupancy costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract services, medical affairs and other costs.
From time to time, the Company has entered into licensing or collaborative agreements with third parties to develop a new drug candidate or intellectual property asset. These agreements may include R&D, marketing, promotion and selling activities to be performed by one or all parties involved. These collaborations generally include upfront, milestone and royalty or profit sharing payments contingent upon future events tied to the developmental and commercial success of the asset. In general, upfront and milestone payments made to third parties under these agreements are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval of the product. Milestone payments made to third parties upon regulatory approval are capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated useful life of the related product.
Restructuring
The Company recognizes charges associated with the Board of Directors approved restructuring programs designed to transform its business and improve its cost structure. Restructuring charges can include severance costs, infrastructure charges, distributor contract cancellations and other items. The Company accrues for costs when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity or liability-based instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. That cost is recognized over the requisite service period, which is the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The cost for liability-based instruments is remeasured accordingly each reporting period throughout the requisite service period.
As of the 2023 Effective Date, the Company’s ordinary shares were no longer traded on an active market. Accordingly, the fair value of those share-based awards granted after the 2023 Effective Date requires the valuation of the Company’s equity utilizing the application of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments. With the assistance of a third-party valuation advisor, the estimated fair value of total share-based awards was based on an income approach, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the business based on its projection. The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the equity value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to expected future revenue and expenses, future cash flows, discount rates, and the probability of possible future events. While the Company considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s equity value.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Gain on Divestitures
Assets and liabilities to be disposed of together as a group in a single transaction (“disposal groups”) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Held for sale classification is required when the six criteria in ASC 360 - Property, Plant and Equipment are met. This generally occurs when an agreement to sell exists, or management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year.
The long-lived assets included in a disposal group are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell, beginning in the period the held for sale criteria are met. Fair value is determined using acceptable valuation principles, such as the excess earnings, relief from royalty, lost profit or cost method, or a market-based measurement, as applicable. Prior to disposal, losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less cost to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell, but not in excess of any cumulative losses previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result from the sale of a disposal group shall be recognized at the date of sale. Depreciation and amortization expense are not recorded on long-lived assets included within the disposal group. Gains or loss on the sale of businesses are recognized upon disposition.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted-average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares represent the incremental ordinary shares issuable for restricted share units. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted share units on income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities, including participating securities, are not included in the computation of income per share if the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Currency Translation
For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the related month. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, the Company has entered into derivative instruments to mitigate the exposure of movements in certain of these foreign currency transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of losses inherent in the Company's accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current facts and circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other available evidence. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines they are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are also presented net of reserves related to chargebacks and rebates payable to customers with whom the Company has trade accounts receivable and the right of offset exists.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out convention. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation for property, plant and equipment, other than land and construction in process, is generally based upon the following estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Buildings | 10 | to | 45 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Remaining term of lease |
| Capitalized software | 8 | to | 10 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 5 | to | 15 years |
The Company capitalizes certain computer software and development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use.
Upon retirement or other disposal of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related amount of accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is included in net loss.
The Company assesses the recoverability of assets or asset groups using undiscounted cash flows whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If an asset or asset group is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset or asset group and its fair value.
Leases
The Company assesses all contracts at inception to determine whether a lease exists. The Company leases office space, manufacturing and warehousing facilities, equipment and vehicles, which are generally operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes operating lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. The Company's lease agreements generally do not contain variable lease payments or any material residual value guarantees.
Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. As the Company's leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. Most leases include one or more options to terminate or renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Termination and renewal options are included within the lease assets and liabilities only to the extent they are reasonably certain.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value, while intangible assets acquired in other transactions are recorded at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized according to the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is used up over their estimated useful lives, using either the straight-line method or the sum-of-the-years digits method.
Amortization expense related to completed technology is included in cost of sales.
When a triggering event occurs, the Company evaluates potential impairment of finite-lived intangible assets by first comparing undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset, or the asset group they are part of, to its carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the amount of potential impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets, or asset group, with their carrying value. The fair value of the intangible asset, or asset group, is estimated using an income approach. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, or asset group, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset. The Company assesses the remaining useful life and the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company annually tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable by either a qualitative or income approach. The Company will compare the fair value of the assets with their carrying value and record an impairment when the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards, using tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The tax benefit of any tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50.0% likely of being realized upon resolution of the uncertainty. To the extent a full benefit is not realized on the uncertain tax position, an income tax liability or a reduction to a deferred tax asset (“contra-DTA”) is established. Interest and penalties on income tax obligations, associated with uncertain tax positions, are included in the provision for income taxes.
The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across the Company's global operations. The Company adjusts these liabilities and contra-DTAs as a result of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from current estimates of the tax liabilities. If the Company's estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities may result in income tax benefits being recognized in the period when it is determined that the liabilities are no longer necessary. Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the classification of such amounts in the consolidated balance sheets.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including government investigations, environmental matters, product liability matters, patent infringement claims, antitrust matters, securities class action lawsuits, personal injury claims, employment disputes, contractual and other commercial disputes, and all other legal proceedings, all in the ordinary course of business as further discussed in Note 19. The Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company discounts environmental liabilities using a risk-free rate of return when the obligation is fixed or reasonably determinable. The impact of the discount in the consolidated balance sheets was not material in any period presented. Legal fees, other than those pertaining to environmental matters, are expensed as incurred. Insurance recoveries related to potential claims are recognized up to the amount of the recorded liability when coverage is confirmed and the estimated recoveries are probable of payment. Assets and liabilities are not netted for financial statement presentation.
Derivatives and hedging
The Company evaluated the terms and features of its First-Out Takeback Term Loans, Second-Out Takeback Term Loans and Takeback Notes and identified an embedded feature that, in certain scenarios, could materially modify the cash flows of the respective debt instruments.
The Company evaluated the embedded feature and determined that it was not clearly and closely related to the underlying debt instruments and did not qualify for any scope exceptions set forth in the accounting standards. Accordingly, this embedded feature is required to be bifurcated from its host instruments and accounted for separately as an embedded derivative liability. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the embedded derivatives as a liability on its consolidated balance sheet.
The embedded derivative will be adjusted to fair value each reported period with changes in fair value subsequent to the issuance date recognized within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The debt derivative liability was zero and $15.1 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively, and was recorded within accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2023 (Successor).
The fair value of the derivative is determined using the with-and-without model which compares the estimated fair value of the underlying debt instruments with the embedded feature to the estimated fair value of the underlying debt instruments without the embedded feature, with the difference representing the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative feature. The with-and-without model includes significant unobservable estimates, including an estimation of the Company’s probability of an asset sale. Management estimates the probability of the asset sale based on its assessment of entity specific factors and the status of on-going transaction negotiations, if any. Changes in the inputs into the valuation model may have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. For further details, refer to Note 20.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the commencement of the 2023 and 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings, the payment of pre-petition liabilities was subject to compromise or other treatment pursuant to the 2023 and 2020 Plans. The determination of how liabilities would ultimately be settled or treated could not be made until the confirmed 2023 and 2020 Plans became effective. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities was not determinable prior to the respective 2023 and 2020 Effective Dates. Pre-petition liabilities that were subject to compromise were reported at the amounts that were expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts classified as LSTC prior to the 2023 and 2020 Effective Dates were preliminary and were subject to future adjustments dependent upon Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures in November 2023. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) expands on reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The required disclosure, which is on an annual and interim basis, specifies that significant segment expenses are expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and are used to evaluate performance by segment to make decisions about resource allocations. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year ending December 27, 2024 and interim periods within the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025. The Company adopted this standard retrospectively, as required, effective for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2024, resulting in incremental disclosures. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures in December 2023. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate (the “rate reconciliation”) for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires new financial statement disclosures about the nature, amount, and timing of relevant expense categories underlying income statement expense, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On August 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Company’s Therakos business for a base purchase price of $925.0 million. On November 29, 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its Therakos business for total cash consideration of $887.6 million, net of preliminary purchase price adjustments (“Initial Net Purchase Price”). The Company recorded a gain on sale of $754.4 million, comprised of the $887.6 million of initial net proceeds less the elimination of $125.5 million of net assets divested and $7.7 million in success-based professional fees. The Company was required to use the proceeds to make a mandatory prepayment on certain portions of its debt, which are further described in Note 14.
The Therakos business did not qualify as discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The following table summarizes income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the Therakos business, which was reflected within the Specialty Brands segment through the divestiture date. Certain amounts that the Company considers to be non-operational are excluded from income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the Therakos business. These items may include, but are not limited to, corporate and unallocated expenses and liabilities management and separation costs.

Transaction Incentive Plan
On February 2, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted a transaction incentive plan (as amended on August 4, 2024 and December 2, 2024, the “A&R TrIP”), which is intended to compensate designated Mallinckrodt executive officers and directors with bonus payments to be made upon the consummation of qualifying strategic transactions and dispositions (each, a “Qualifying Transaction”). Each bonus payment earned under the A&R TrIP will be generally delivered 50% in connection with closing of the applicable Qualifying Transaction and 50% on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2026 and (b) a significant asset transaction, as defined in the A&R TrIP (“Final Payment Date”); provided, however that in the event that a Qualifying Transaction closes following a qualifying significant event or a significant asset transaction, 100% of the applicable bonus payment earned with respect to such Qualifying Transaction generally will be paid in connection with closing of such Qualifying Transaction or, if later, when the associated proceeds are received. The A&R TrIP is effective from January 1, 2024 through the Final Payment Date. The service period required related to the Therakos divestiture for the A&R TrIP is August 3, 2024 through the Final Payment Date.
In accordance with the A&R TrIP, the Company made payments of $13.6 million to participants during the year ended December 27, 2024. Subject to the finalization of the purchase price, the Company expects to make additional payments to participants of approximately $16.4 million by the Final Payment Date. The Company accrued $2.7 million within accrued payroll and payroll-related costs in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2024 (Successor), while the corresponding expense was recorded within selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) on the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor). There was no comparable expense accrued related to the A&R TrIP during the prior periods.
Transition Services Agreement
In connection with the Therakos divestiture, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) effective upon closing to provide certain business support services generally for up to 18 months after the closing date or a longer period for certain services. These services include, but are not limited to, information technology, procurement, distribution, logistics and order to delivery, compliance, accounting, finance, and administrative activities. Revenue associated with the TSA will be recorded within other (expense) income, net, and expenses associated with servicing the TSA are recorded within their natural expense classification, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. Net revenue under the TSA was $1.0 million during the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor).

7. | Restructuring and Related Charges |
The Company, from time to time, seeks more cost-effective means to improve profitability and to respond to changes in its markets. As such, the Company may incur restructuring costs as a component of the Company’s operating costs. During fiscal 2021 (Predecessor) and 2018 (Predecessor), the Company’s predecessor board of directors approved restructuring programs, neither of which has pre-determined actions or a specified time period. Charges of $50.0 million to $100.0 million were authorized for under the 2021 program and $100.0 million to $125.0 million were authorized for under the 2018 program. The 2021 program commenced upon substantial completion of the 2018 program, which occurred during the first quarter of 2024.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company committed to a plan to cease commercialization and clinical development and wind down production of StrataGraft. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring and related charges, net, within the Specialty Brands segment related to StrataGraft, which are shown in the tables below.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $2.5 million net gain within SG&A, which included a $5.1 million non-cash gain related to the write-off of a lease liability, offset by a $2.6 million lease termination cash penalty. The Company paid the termination penalty in the fourth quarter of 2024.
These actions began in the first quarter of 2024 and are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company currently expects to incur an immaterial amount of additional one-time termination benefits within the Specialty Brands segment through the first quarter of 2025. The exact timing to complete all actions and final costs associated will depend on a number of factors and are subject to change.
Net restructuring and related charges by segment were as follows:

The emergence from each of the respective 2023 and 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings resulted in a change in ownership for purposes of IRC Section 382, causing the remaining U.S. tax losses, credits, and certain built in losses (“BILs”) to be limited under IRC Sections 382 and 383. The amount of our pre-ownership change U.S. NOLs and BILs that can be utilized generally cannot exceed an amount equal to the product of (a) the applicable federal long-term tax-exempt rate in effect on the date of the ownership change and (b) the value of our U.S. affiliate stock immediately prior to the implementation of each respective plan. The portion of deferred tax assets associated with the tax losses and credits that are limited under IRC Section 382 or 383, and that have a remote possibility of being utilized, have been written off. Refer to Note 4 for further information regarding the Company's income tax accounting policies.
On December 20, 2021, the OECD released the Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) providing a legislative framework for the Income Inclusion Rule and the Under-Taxed Payment Rule (“UTPR”). Pillar Two is designed to ensure that large multinational enterprise groups pay a minimum level of tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions where they operate, principally creating a 15% minimum global effective tax rate. On December 15, 2022, the E.U. member states unanimously adopted a directive implementing the Pillar Two global minimum tax rules. On December 20, 2022, the OECD released three guidance documents related to Pillar Two. These documents included guidance on safe harbors and penalty relief and consultation papers on the GloBE Information Return and Tax Certainty for the GloBE rules. On January 15, 2025, the OECD issued additional administrative guidance aimed at streamlining the administration of the global minimum tax. A number of jurisdictions have transposed the directive into national legislation with the rules to be applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023, with the exception of the UTPR which is to be applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2024. The Company's fiscal year end of December 29, 2023 allowed the Company to postpone the effective date of these law changes by one year. The Company is monitoring developments to evaluate the impacts these new rules will have on its tax rate, including the eligibility to qualify for the safe harbor rules; however, at this time, it is not anticipated that the impact on the Company will be material.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest:

| Other income tax liabilities | 19.8 | | | 15.4 | |
| | | |
| $ | 31.1 | | | $ | 33.3 | |
Total unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB(s)”) of $30.9 million as of the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), $30.1 million as of both December 29, 2023 (Successor) and November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), and $24.8 million as of both December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) and June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), if favorably settled, would benefit the effective tax rate. During the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), the decrease of $306.1 million primarily resulted from fresh-start adjustments.
The Company recorded an increase to accrued interest and penalties of $1.7 million for the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor). The Company recorded zero accrued interest and penalties for the period November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor) and an increase to accrued interest and penalties of $1.4 million during the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor). Interest and penalties activity during the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) and the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), was a net increase of $0.6 million and a net decrease of $16.7 million, respectively. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $5.9 million and $4.2 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively.
It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $5.0 million and the amount of related interest and penalties could decrease by up to $3.3 million as a result of the expiration of a statute of limitations.
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries continue to be subject to examination by taxing authorities. The earliest open year subject to examination for the U.S. federal and the U.S. state is 2018 and 2011, respectively. The earliest open year subject to examination in other jurisdictions, including Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the U.K. is 2014.

The net deferred tax asset before valuation allowances was $4,409.0 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor), compared to $5,384.8 million as of December 29, 2023 (Predecessor). This decrease consists of $795.5 million related to the expiration of capital tax loss related assets (which had a full valuation allowance against it), $104.2 million related to the Therakos divestiture and $76.1 million related to other operational activity.
The deferred tax asset valuation allowances were $3,757.3 million and $4,583.8 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. The valuation allowances as of both December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor) relate primarily to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, driven by domestic and international net operating and capital losses, credits, and intangible assets. The decrease is primarily driven by a reduction in the capital tax loss carryforwards and related assets.
Deferred taxes were included in the following consolidated balance sheet captions in the amounts shown:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Successor |
| December 27, 2024 | | December 29, 2023 |
| Deferred income tax asset | $ | 651.8 | | | $ | 801.0 | |
| Other liabilities | (0.1) | | | — | |
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | 651.7 | | | $ | 801.0 | |
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had approximately $3,481.3 million of NOL carryforwards in certain international jurisdictions measured at the applicable statutory rates, of which $1,303.3 million have no expiration and the remaining $2,178.0 million will expire in future years through 2041. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had $48.1 million of domestic NOL carryforwards measured at the applicable statutory rates, which have no expiration date.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had $15.1 million of capital loss carryforwards in certain international jurisdictions measured at the applicable statutory rates, which will expire in 2029. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had approximately $173.0 million of domestic capital loss carryforwards measured at the applicable statutory rates, which have no expiration date.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had $0.4 million of tax credits available to reduce future income taxes payable, in international jurisdictions, which will expire in future years through 2044.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company's taxable financial reporting basis in subsidiaries exceeded its corresponding tax basis by $9.7 million. Such excess amount is indefinitely reinvested and it is not practicable to determine the associated potential tax liability due to the complexity of the Company's legal entity structure as well as the timing, extent, and nature of any hypothetical realization.

The Company recorded impairment charges related to its Specialty Brands segment totaling $50.1 million during the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) related to StrataGraft due to lower than anticipated cash flows. The valuation method used to approximate fair value was based on the estimated discounted cash flows. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company’s decision to cease commercialization and clinical development, and wind down production of StrataGraft in fiscal 2024.
The Company recorded impairment charges related to its Specialty Generics segment totaling $85.8 million during the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor). The valuation method used to approximate fair value was based on the estimated discounted cash flows. The Company decided it will no longer pursue further development of the IPR&D assets and as a result, recognized a full impairment.
As part of fresh-start accounting, as of the 2023 Effective Date, the Company wrote-off the existing intangible assets and accumulated amortization of the Predecessor and recorded $624.6 million to reflect the fair value of intangible assets of the Successor. See Note 3 for additional information.
Amitiza
Beginning January 1, 2022 (Predecessor), the Company changed its amortization method used for the Amitiza intangible asset from the straight-line method to the sum of the years digits method, an accelerated method of amortization, to more accurately reflect the consumption of economic benefits over the remaining useful life of the asset. This change in amortization method resulted in additional amortization expense of $21.7 million, which impacted basic loss per share by $0.26 for the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor).
The estimated aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets owned by the Company and being amortized as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) is expected to be as follows:
| | | | | |
| Fiscal 2025 | $ | 51.8 | |
| Fiscal 2026 | 48.4 | |
| Fiscal 2027 | 45.1 | |

(1)Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting upon the emergence from the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings, the Company recorded its debt instruments at fair value utilizing the Black-Derman-Toy model, which takes into consideration prepayment options and a credit-adjusted discount rate. Subsequent to the 2023 Effective Date, the Company accounted for its debt instruments utilizing the amortized cost method and amortizes the fair value premium to the principal amount over the term of the respective instruments. Such amortization expense is reflected as interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the Successor period. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), the total unamortized premium recorded within the consolidated balance sheets was $50.0 million and $117.5 million, respectively.
The commencement of the 2023 Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default under certain of the Predecessor's debt agreements. As a result of the 2023 Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due under these debt instruments became immediately due and payable. However, any efforts to enforce payment was automatically stayed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
On the 2023 Effective Date, $1,716.8 million of First Lien Term Loans, $495.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 First Lien Notes, $650.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2028 First Lien Notes, $321.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Second Lien Senior Notes and $328.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Second Lien Senior Notes were canceled and the Company entered into the new Takeback Term Loans and the Takeback Notes.
Successor Indebtedness
New Takeback Debt
On the 2023 Effective Date and pursuant to the 2023 Plan, the Issuers (i) entered into a new senior secured first lien term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $871.4 million, consisting of approximately $229.4 million of First-Out Takeback Term Loans and approximately $642.0 million of Second-Out Takeback Term Loans, pursuant to the credit agreement and (ii) issued approximately $778.6 million in aggregate principal amount of Takeback Notes pursuant to the indenture.
All DIP Claims under the DIP Credit Agreement not otherwise satisfied in cash were converted on a dollar-for-dollar basis into First-Out Takeback Term Loans.
Each holder of an allowed claim related to the outstanding 2025 First Lien Notes, the outstanding 2028 First Lien Notes, or the First Lien Term Loans elected to receive such Takeback Debt either in the form of Second-Out Takeback Term Loans or Takeback Notes.
All obligations of the Issuers under the Takeback Debt are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the obligors of the previously issued First Lien Debt, subject to certain limited exceptions (including the exclusion of Mallinckrodt Petten Holdings B.V.) (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The Takeback Debt is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all collateral that secured the First Lien Debt and substantially all previously unencumbered property of the Issuers and the Guarantors, other than (i) any receivables or related assets transferred to, or constituting collateral for, the Amended ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022, as amended on August 23, 2023, by and among ST US AR Finance LLC, the lenders party thereto, the L/C Issuers (as defined therein) party thereto and Barclays Bank plc, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Post-Petition A/R Facility”), (ii) the equity of ST US AR Finance LLC, the non-debtor subsidiary of the Company that is the borrower under the Post-Petition A/R Facility, and (iii) certain other customary exceptions. The Takeback Debt is governed by the terms of a first lien intercreditor agreement, dated as of the 2023 Effective Date (“Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, the Company, the other grantors from time to time party thereto, Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as Collateral Agent and as credit agreement authorized representative, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as initial additional authorized representative, and each additional authorized representative from time to time party thereto. The First-Out Takeback Term Loans rank senior in waterfall priority to the Second-Out Takeback Term Loans and the Takeback Notes. The Second-Out Takeback Term Loans rank pari passu in waterfall priority to the Takeback Notes.
The First-Out Takeback Term Loans were due to mature on November 14, 2028 and bore interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 7.50% per annum, subject to a SOFR floor of 4.50%, or in the case of an ABR Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Alternate Base Rate, or “ABR” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 6.50% per annum, and amortized quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, at a rate of 1.00% per annum, which commenced December 29, 2023. The First-Out Takeback Term Loan was prepaid in full on December 6, 2024, as further discussed below.
The Second-Out Takeback Term Loans mature on November 14, 2028 and bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 9.50% per annum, subject to a SOFR floor of 4.50%, or in the case of an ABR Loan, ABR plus 8.50% per annum, and amortize quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, at a rate of 1.00% per annum, which commenced December 29, 2023. The Takeback Notes mature on November 14, 2028 and bear interest at a rate equal to 14.75% payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, commencing May 15, 2024. The Second-Out Takeback Term Loan was partially prepaid on December 6, 2024, as further discussed below.
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default (including as a result of a change of control), subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement could result in the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Takeback Term Loans and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The indenture contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (including as a result of a change of control), subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default under the indenture could result in the acceleration of the Takeback Notes and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Takeback Debt is subject to (i) mandatory prepayment or redemption, as applicable, with the net proceeds of certain asset sales and recovery events, subject to customary exceptions, at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium (for the first two years following issuance of the Takeback Debt) and accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) mandatory prepayment or repurchase (at the option of each lender thereunder) with 50% of excess cash flow (for the excess cash flow period ending December 27, 2024, to the extent excess cash flow exceeds $100 million) at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company determined that the Takeback Debt includes an embedded feature that requires mandatory prepayment with the net proceeds of certain asset sales and recovery events, subject to customary exceptions, at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium (“Applicable Premium”) for the first two years following issuance of the Takeback Debt and accrued and unpaid interest. The Applicable Premium shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount of the Takeback Debt prepaid and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the sum of (1) all required interest payable on the principal amount of such Initial Term Loans subject to the applicable prepayment from the date of such prepayment through (and including) the second anniversary of the valuation date (as if such Initial Term Loans has been outstanding) calculated over an interest period of three months in effect on the third business day prior to such prepayment plus (2) the principal amount of such Initial Term Loans subject to the applicable prepayment, in each case, discounted to the date of such prepayment on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate as of such date of determination plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Initial Term Loans subject to the applicable prepayment.
This mandatory prepayment feature was determined to not be clearly and closely related to the debt host contract and required to be bifurcated and recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 20 for further information.
Mandatory Debt Prepayment and Makewhole Premium
The Company was required to use net proceeds from the Therakos divestiture to prepay the Takeback Term Loans and redeem the Takeback Notes. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on the Therakos divestiture.
On December 6, 2024, the Company (i) mandatorily prepaid a portion of its Takeback Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $474.1 million (of which approximately $227.1 million consisted of its “first-out” term loans and approximately $247.0 million consisted of its “second-out” term loans) together with a payment of approximately $36.4 million in required makewhole premium (of which approximately $15.2 million was in respect of its “first-out” term loans and approximately $21.2 million was in respect of its “second-out” term loans) and (ii) mandatorily redeemed $301.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Takeback Notes together with a payment of approximately $27.3 million in required makewhole premium.
As a result of the mandatory prepayment, the Company recorded $19.7 million as a net loss on extinguishment of debt, comprised of the $63.7 million payment of the makewhole premium, offset by a $44.0 million gain to write-off certain unamortized premiums. Subsequent to the 2023 Effective Date, the Company accounted for its debt instruments utilizing the amortized cost method and amortizes the fair value premium to the principal amount over the term of the respective instruments.
Accounts Receivable Financing Facility
On the 2020 Effective Date, MEH, Inc. (“MEH”), as servicer, ST US AR Finance LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of MEH (“ST US AR”), as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and the letter of credit issuers party thereto entered into a receivables financing facility (“Receivable Financing Facility”) pursuant to an ABL Credit Agreement and a Purchase and Sale Agreement. Under the Receivables Financing Facility, ST US AR may borrow money up to an amount based on a borrowing base with a maximum draw of up to $200.0 million, which may vary depending on the underlying receivables amount. Borrowings are secured by a first-lien security interest under the Receivables Financing Facility on existing and future accounts receivables and related assets that have been sold from certain subsidiaries of MEH to ST US AR. The Receivables Financing Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants for transactions of this type. From the closing date until the last day of the first fiscal quarter after the closing date, borrowings bore interest at a rate of (a) either (i) the alternate base rate or (ii) SOFR, and (b) an applicable margin. On the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the applicable margins are determined from a pricing grid based upon the historical excess availability for the most recent fiscal quarter ended immediately prior.
On August 23, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment with the lenders and agents under the Receivables Financing Facility Credit Agreement, by and among ST US AR, the lenders party thereto, the L/C Issuers (as defined in the Receivables Financing Facility Credit Agreement) party thereto and Barclays Bank plc, as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Receivables Financing Facility matures on the earlier of December 16, 2027 and a date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any other material indebtedness that is incurred after the closing date. ST US AR may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow under the Receivables Financing Facility at any time. So long as there is not an overadvance under the Receivables Financing Facility, and subject to certain other conditions, ST US AR can elect to repay borrowings or use cash to make distributions to MEH and certain subsidiaries of MEH that have contributed receivables to ST US AR. The obligations under the Receivables Financing Facility are not guaranteed by MEH or any of its restricted subsidiaries. The Receivables Financing Facility is subject to customary events of defaults for transactions of this type.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its Receivables Financing Facility.
Applicable interest rate
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the applicable interest rate and outstanding principal on the Company's debt instruments were as follows: | | | | | |
| Applicable interest rate |
| Fixed-rate instrument | 14.75 | % |
| |
Second-Out Takeback Term Loans (1) | 13.26 | |
(1)Includes the impact of the interest rate cap agreement, which is discussed further in Note 20.
The Company's stated long-term debt principal maturity amounts as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) are as follows:
| | | | | |
| Fiscal 2025 | $ | 3.9 | |
| Fiscal 2026 | 3.9 | |
| Fiscal 2027 | 4.9 | |
Fiscal 2028 | 852.9 | |

Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit retirement plans covering certain of its U.S. employees and non-U.S. employees. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), U.S. plans represented 33.1% of the Company's remaining projected benefit obligation. The Company generally does not provide postretirement benefits other than retirement plan benefits for its employees; however, certain of the Company's U.S. employees participate in postretirement benefit plans that provide medical benefits. These plans are unfunded.
The benefit obligation recognized on the consolidated balance sheets were $17.0 million and $18.9 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively, for pension benefits and $12.5 million and $25.9 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively, for postretirement benefits. The weighted-average discount rate to determine benefit obligations for the Company's pension and postretirement benefit plans ranged from 3.4% to 5.5%. For the Company's unfunded U.S. plans, the discount rate is based on the market rate for a broad population of AA-rated (Moody's Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation) corporate bonds over $250.0 million.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
The Company maintains one active tax-qualified 401(k) retirement plan and one active non-qualified deferred compensation plan in the U.S. The 401(k) retirement plan provides for an automatic Company contribution of 3% of an eligible employee's pay, with an additional Company matching contribution generally equal to 50.0% of each employee's elective contribution to the plan up to 8% of the employee's eligible pay. The deferred compensation plan permitted eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. The deferred compensation plan is currently frozen for employee deferrals. Total defined contribution expense was $23.0 million, $2.5 million, $18.6 million, $7.8 million, and $9.6 million for the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), the period November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor), the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor), and the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), respectively.
Rabbi Trusts and Other Investments
The Company maintains several rabbi trusts, the assets of which are used to pay retirement benefits. The rabbi trust assets are subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Plan participants are general creditors of the Company with respect to these benefits. The trusts primarily hold life insurance policies and debt and equity securities, the value of which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 20 for additional information regarding the debt and equity securities.
The carrying value of the 37 and 48 life insurance contracts held by these trusts was $37.2 million and $38.0 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. These contracts had a total death benefit of $66.7 million and $74.2 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. However, there are outstanding loans against the policies amounting to $13.2 million and $18.3 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. During the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), proceeds from debt and equity securities held in rabbi trusts were $22.6 million.
The Company has insurance contracts that serve as collateral for certain of the Company's non-U.S. pension plan benefits. These insurance contracts totaled $6.5 million and $7.3 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. These amounts were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has 500,000,000 of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.01, and 19,696,335 shares issued and outstanding as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor).
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000 shares of Ordinary A with €1.00 par value, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), no preferred shares had been issued.
Share Repurchases
The Company also repurchases shares from certain employees in order to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted shares. In addition, the Company repurchases shares to settle certain option exercises. The Company spent zero to acquire shares in connection with equity-based awards in all periods.
Total share-based compensation cost was $7.2 million, zero, $8.9 million, $1.4 million, and $1.7 million for the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), the period November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor), the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor), and the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), respectively. These amounts are generally included within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized zero tax benefits associated with this expense for all periods presented.
Stock Compensation Plans
The Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective February 2, 2024 provides for the award of share options, share appreciation rights, long-term performance awards and other share-based awards (collectively, “Awards”). The maximum number of common shares to be issued as Awards, subject to adjustment as provided under the terms of the plan was 10% of the total ordinary shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) as of the 2023 Effective Date.
On the 2023 Effective Date, all outstanding equity-based awards under the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective February 23, 2022, were automatically cancelled without consideration. No awards were granted during the period November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor).
On the 2020 Effective Date, all outstanding equity-based awards under the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective February 23, 2022, were automatically cancelled without consideration.
Share options. Share options were granted to purchase the Predecessor Company's ordinary shares at prices that are equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the share option is granted. Share options generally vest in equal annual installments over a period of four years and expire ten years after the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of share options, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience. No share options have been granted during the periods presented herein.

Restricted share units (“RSUs”). Recipients of RSUs have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units that vest upon the vesting of the related shares. RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over a period of three years. Restrictions on RSUs lapse upon normal retirement or disability (as such terms are defined in the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Stock and Incentive Plan), or death of the employee. The grant-date fair value of RSUs, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the service period. The fair market value of RSUs granted is determined based on the market value of the Company's shares on the date of grant. As of the 2023 Effective Date, the Company’s ordinary shares were no longer traded on an active market. Accordingly, the fair value of those share-based awards granted after the 2023 Effective Date requires the valuation of the Company’s equity utilizing the application of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, as further described in Note 4.
A portion of the RSUs granted during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) could have been settled in shares and were classified as equity-based awards, and a portion of the RSUs had the ability to be settled in either shares or cash and were classified as liability-based awards. The Company recognized $3.3 million and $2.3 million of equity-based compensation costs and liability-based compensation costs during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), respectively. The Company paid $0.4 million of liabilities-based awards during the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor).

The total fair value of RSU awards granted during the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) was $12.7 million. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), there was $8.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested RSUs granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Performance share units (“PSUs”) Similar to recipients of RSUs, recipients of PSUs have no voting rights and receive dividend equivalent units. The grant-date fair value of PSUs, which are deemed probable to vest, are generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis from the grant-date through the end of the performance period. The vesting of PSUs and related dividend equivalent units is based on a realized value of the Company, as defined by the Awards, or previously, during the Predecessor periods, various performance metrics and relative total shareholder return (total shareholder return for the Company as compared to total shareholder return of the PSU peer group).
A portion of the PSUs granted during the period June 17, 2022 (Predecessor) to December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) and the period December 31, 2022 to November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) could have been settled in shares and were classified as equity-based awards, and a portion of the PSUs had the ability to be settled in either shares or cash and were classified as liability-based awards. The Company recognized $1.6 million, $2.6 million and $0.1 million of equity-based compensation costs during the year ended December 27, 2024, the period December 31, 2022 (Predecessor) through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) and the period June 17, 2022 (Predecessor) through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor), respectively. The fair value of the liability-based awards was measured quarterly and based on the Company's performance.

(1) The number of shares disclosed within this table are at the target number of 100.0%.
For the awards granted during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), the fair value of those share-based awards required the valuation of the Company’s equity utilizing the application of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments, as further described in Note 4. For the Predecessor PSU awards, the Company generally used the Monte Carlo model to estimate the probability of satisfying the performance criteria and the resulting fair value. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for PSUs granted during the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) and the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) were as follows:

| Peer group stock price volatility | 124.7 | | | 128.0 | |
| Correlation of returns | 23.8 | | | 24.4 | |
(1)These PSU awards were subsequently cancelled upon the emergence from the 2023 and 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings, respectively.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of PSUs granted during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) was $48.19. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), there was $8.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company has from time to time provided representations, warranties and indemnities to cover various risks and liabilities, including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities related to periods prior to disposition. The Company assesses the probability of potential liabilities related to such representations, warranties and indemnities and adjusts potential liabilities as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. The Company believes, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolutions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with the sale of the Specialty Chemical business (formerly known as Mallinckrodt Baker) in fiscal 2010, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser with respect to various matters, including certain environmental, health, safety, tax and other matters. The indemnification obligations relating to certain environmental, health and safety matters have a term of 17 years from the sale, while some of the other indemnification obligations have an indefinite term. The liability relating to all of these indemnification obligations was governed by a contract that was rejected as part of the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings and is no longer a liability subsequent to the 2020 Effective Date. The Company was required to pay $30.0 million into an escrow account as collateral to the purchaser. The contract governing the escrow account was assumed in the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), $21.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively, remained in restricted cash, included in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company does not expect to make future payments related to these indemnification obligations.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company had various other letters of credit, guarantees and surety bonds totaling $29.4 million and restricted cash of $41.8 million held in segregated accounts primarily to collateralize surety bonds for the Company's environmental liabilities.

| 19. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including government investigations, environmental matters, product liability matters, patent infringement claims, antitrust matters, securities class action lawsuits, personal injury claims, employment disputes, contractual and other commercial disputes, and other legal proceedings, all in the ordinary course of business, including those described below. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, the Company believes, unless otherwise indicated below, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of any particular matter, or matters that have the same legal or factual issues, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Governmental Proceedings
Generic Pricing Subpoena. In March 2018, the Company received a grand jury subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the EDPA pursuant to which the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice is seeking documents regarding generic products and pricing, communications with generic competitors and other related matters. The Company produced documents in early 2019 and is otherwise cooperating in the investigation.
MNK 2011 LLC (formerly known as MNK 2011 Inc. and Mallinckrodt Inc.) v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration and United States of America. In November 2014, the FDA reclassified the Company's Methylphenidate ER in the Orange Book: Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence (“Orange Book”). In November 2014, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland Greenbelt Division against the FDA and the U.S. (“MD Complaint”) for judicial review of the FDA's reclassification. In July 2015, the court granted the FDA's motion to dismiss with respect to three of the five counts in the MD Complaint and granted summary judgment in favor of the FDA with respect to the two remaining counts (“MD Order”). On October 18, 2016, the FDA initiated proceedings, proposing to withdraw approval of the Company's Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for Methylphenidate ER. On October 21, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued an order placing the Company's appeal of the MD Order in abeyance pending the outcome of the withdrawal proceedings. The parties exchanged documents and in April 2018, the Company filed its submission in support of its position in the withdrawal proceedings. A potential outcome of the withdrawal proceedings is that the Company's Methylphenidate ER products may lose their FDA approval and have to be withdrawn from the market.
U.S. Attorney's Office Subpoena W.D. Va. In February 2025, the Company received a subpoena duces tecum from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia (“WDVA USAO”) seeking production of data and information for the time period from January 1, 1996 to the present relating to pharmacy benefit managers, including remuneration provided to or rebates negotiated with pharmacy benefit managers, and also including communications with pharmacy benefit managers related to the prescription, administration, or safety or efficacy of opioids. The Company is in the process of responding to the subpoena and is cooperating with the investigation. The Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of this matter at this time.
Specialty Generics Grand Jury Subpoenas
U.S. Attorney's Office Subpoena W.D. Va. In August 2023, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the WDVA USAO. Subsequently, the Company received additional grand jury subpoenas from the WDVA USAO, most recently, in January 2025. The subpoenas seek production of certain data and information for the time period from July 17, 2012 to the present, including information and data relating to the Company’s Specialty Generics controlled substances compliance program, the Company's reporting of suspicious orders for controlled substances, chargebacks and other transactions, financial accounts related to these issues, financial transactions involving prescription drug products, and communications between the Company and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
U.S. Attorney's Office Subpoena E.D.PA. In May 2024, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking production of data and information with respect to a customer for the time period from January 1, 2020 to May 2024, including information and data relating to potentially suspicious orders for controlled substances. The Company suspended sales to this customer in October 2023 prior to receipt of the subpoena.
The Company is in the process of responding to the subpoenas from both U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and is cooperating in the investigations. The Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of the investigations at this time.
Patent Litigation
Branded Products. The Company will continue to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights relating to its Branded products to prevent the marketing of infringing generic or competing products prior to the expiration of patents covering those products, which, if unsuccessful, could adversely affect the Company's ability to successfully maximize the value of individual Branded products and have an adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In the case of litigation filed against potential generic or competing products to Company's Branded products, those litigation matters can either be settled or the litigation pursued through a trial and any potential appeals of the lower court decision.
Generic Products. The Company continues to pursue development of a portfolio of generic products, some of which require submission of a Paragraph IV certification against patents listed in the FDA's Orange Book for the Branded product asserting that the Company's proposed generic product does not infringe and/or the Orange Book patent(s) are invalid and/or unenforceable. In the case of litigation filed against Company for such potential generic products, those litigation matters can either be settled or the litigation pursued through a trial and any potential appeals of the lower court decision in order to successfully launch those generic products in the future.
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited et al. v. Airgas Therapeutics LLC et al. On December 30, 2022, the Company initiated litigation against Airgas Therapeutics, LLC, Airgas USA LLC, and Air Liquide S.A. (collectively “Airgas”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (“District of Delaware”) following notice from Airgas of its ANDA submission seeking approval from the FDA for a generic version of INOmax® (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation (“INOmax”). Airgas's ANDA received final approval from the FDA in July 2023, and according to Airgas' counsel, the original ANDA was filed in April 2011. The expert discovery is ongoing. On February 12, 2024, the court entered stipulations of consent for filing of an amended complaint. On March 22, 2024, the court granted Air Liquide S.A.’s motion to dismiss. AirGas Therapeutics, LLC and AirGas USA LLC remain parties to the litigation. The court set a trial date of September 8, 2025. In January 2025, the court denied the Company’s motion for preliminary injunction seeking to prevent defendants Airgas Therapeutics LLC and Airgas USA LLC from infringing the Company’s U.S. patents during the pendency of the litigation.
Many of the patents asserted against Airgas were previously asserted in the District of Delaware against Praxair Distribution, Inc. and Praxair, Inc. (collectively “Praxair”) in 2015 and 2016 following Praxair's submissions with FDA seeking approval for a nitric oxide drug product and delivery system. The litigation against Praxair resulted in Praxair's launch of a competitive nitric oxide product. The Company continues to develop and pursue patent protection of next generation nitric oxide delivery systems and additional uses of nitric oxide and intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights against any parties that may seek to market a generic version of the Company's INOmax product and/or next generation delivery systems.
Amitiza Patent Challenges. The Company was granted numerous Japanese patents related to Amitiza. The Company has received notifications of petitions for invalidation trials described below, each of which was filed with the Japan Patent Office (“JPO”) and relates to Amitiza and its use in Japan. The JPO has the authority to determine the validity of each of these patent grants and each of these patent term extension (“PTE”) registration grants. A party may appeal the JPO’s determination to a court of law.
In October 2023, the Company received notification that Sawai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Sawai”) had filed petitions for two invalidation trials against two PTE registrations for JP Patent No. 4332353. In December 2023, the Company received notification that Sawai had filed a petition for an invalidation trial against JP Patent Appln. No. 2002-586947. In April 2024, the Company received notification that Sawai had filed petitions for invalidation trials with respect to only the 12µg strength of Amitiza against PTE registrations of three additional patents (JP Patent No. 4786866, JP Patent Appln. No. 2003-543603 and JP Patent Appln. No. 2004-564537), and against one patent itself (JP Patent No. 4786866). In May 2024, the Company received notification that Sawai had filed petitions for invalidation trials with respect to only the 12µg strength of Amitiza against PTE registrations of two additional patents (JP Patent No. 4332316, JP Patent Appln. No. 2024-800068 and JP Patent No. 4684334, JP Patent Appln. No. 2024-800069).
In January 2024, the Company received notification that Towa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. had filed a petition for an invalidation trial against the PTE registration for JP Patent Appln. No. 2002-586947.
The JPO held a hearing on December 20, 2024 relating to Sawai’s challenge of JP4332353, and a decision is pending; the other challenges are at an early stage. The Company believes that each of these patents and/or PTE registrations is valid, and the Company will vigorously defend these patents and PTE registrations.
Commercial and Securities Litigation
Putative Class Action Securities Litigation (Continental General). On July 7, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Sigurdur Olafsson, its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) Bryan Reasons, and the Chair of the Board, Paul Bisaro, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Continental General Insurance Company and Percy Rockdale, LLC v. Mallinckrodt plc et al., No. 23-cv-03662. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Mallinckrodt's securities between June 17, 2022 and June 14, 2023. The lawsuit generally alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related to the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including its financial strength, its ability to timely make certain payments related to Mallinckrodt’s Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement and the risk of additional filings for bankruptcy protection. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount. A lead plaintiff was designated by the court in September 2023 and in December 2023, an amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiff against Olafsson, Reasons, and Bisaro (“Individual Defendants”). As to the Company, any liability to the plaintiffs in this matter was discharged upon emergence from the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings. Mallinckrodt assumed the obligation to defend and indemnify the individual defendants. In September 2024, the court denied the Individual Defendants' motion to dismiss. The Individual Defendants answered the amended complaint on October 21, 2024, and discovery is ongoing.
Alta Fundamental. In September 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s CEO Sigurdur Olafsson, its CFO Bryan Reasons, the Chair of the Board Paul Bisaro, its Chief Strategy and Restructuring Officer Jason Goodson, and its former Global Controller and Chief Investor Relations Officer Daniel Speciale, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Alta Fundamental Advisors, LLC et al. v. Bisaro et al., No. 24-cv-09245. Plaintiffs allege similar facts to those in the Continental General action, and like in that action, the Alta Fundamental lawsuit generally alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements related to the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including its financial strength, its ability to timely make certain payments related to Mallinckrodt’s Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement and the risk of additional filings for bankruptcy protection. The lawsuit alleges claims under Sections 10(b), 18(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and the New Jersey Uniform Securities Act, as well as common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Mallinckrodt assumed the obligation to defend and indemnify the individual defendants. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount. On November 25, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss certain portions of the complaint which is currently being briefed.
Putative Class Action Securities Litigation (Strougo). In July 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, its former CEO Mark C. Trudeau, its CFO Bryan M. Reasons, its former Interim CFO George A. Kegler and its former CFO Matthew K. Harbaugh, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Barbara Strougo v. Mallinckrodt plc, et al. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Mallinckrodt's securities between February 28, 2018 and July 16, 2019. The lawsuit generally alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related to the Company's clinical study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of its Acthar Gel in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount. On July 30, 2020, the court approved the transfer of the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. On August 10, 2020, an amended complaint was filed by the lead plaintiff alleging an expanded putative class period of May 3, 2016 through March 18, 2020 against the Company and Mark C. Trudeau, Bryan M. Reasons, George A. Kegler and Matthew K. Harbaugh, as well as newly named defendants Kathleen A. Schaefer, Angus C. Russell, Melvin D. Booth, JoAnn A. Reed, Paul R. Carter, and Mark J. Casey (collectively with Trudeau, Reasons, Kegler and Harbaugh, the “Strougo Defendants”) The amended complaint claims that the defendants made various false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose various material facts regarding Acthar Gel and its results of operations. On October 1, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 17, 2022, the Strougo action was administratively closed. On March 29, 2022, the Strougo action was reinstated only with respect to the Strougo Defendants, and the Strougo Defendants filed their reply in support of their motion to dismiss on May 2, 2022. As to the Company, this matter was resolved in bankruptcy with no further liability against the Company. However, the Company has indemnification obligations as to the Strougo Defendants. On December 16, 2022, the District Court issued an order denying the Strougo Defendants' motion to dismiss in all respects. The Strougo Defendants answered the complaint. In June 2024, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims in this matter, for a settlement payment of $46.0 million, which will be funded by the Company’s insurance carriers. As of December 27, 2024, a $46.0 million receivable and payable were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued and other current liabilities, respectively. On December 23, 2024, the district court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for April 2025. As to the Company, this matter was resolved in the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings with no further liability against the Company.
Generic Pharmaceutical Antitrust Multi-District Litigation.
In August 2016, a multi-district litigation (“MDL”) was established in the EDPA relating to allegations of antitrust violations with respect to generic pharmaceutical pricing (“Generic Pricing MDL”). Plaintiffs in the Generic Pricing MDL, captioned In re: Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, allege a conspiracy of price-fixing and customer allocation among generic drug manufacturers beginning in or around July 2009. The Generic Pricing MDL includes lawsuits against the Company and dozens of other pharmaceutical companies, including a complaint filed by Attorneys General for 51 States, Territories and the District of Columbia seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief (“AG Litigation”). Since its inception, the Generic Pricing MDL has expanded to encompass dozens of pharmaceutical companies and more than 200 generic pharmaceutical drugs. Although the AG Litigation had been consolidated in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in the Generic Pricing MDL, a recent legislative change exempted state antitrust enforcement actions arising under federal antitrust law from MDLs. As a result, the plaintiffs sought and won a remand to the jurisdiction in which the case was filed, the District of Connecticut. As a result of this change and resulting action, the Company filed its answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint in September 2024. While the Company is not subject to monetary damages in connection with these matters, as a result of the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings and vigorously disagrees with the plaintiffs' characterization of the facts and law, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate whether any injunctive relief will be granted, and if granted, whether it will materially impact the Company's financial position or operations. The Joint Defense Group filed Joint Motions for Summary Judgment November 22, 2024. The Plaintiffs responded to those Joint Motions on February 20, 2025.
Environmental Remediation and Litigation Proceedings
The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites, including as described below. The ultimate cost of site cleanup and timing of future cash outlays is difficult to predict, given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. The Company concluded that, as of December 27, 2024 (Successor), it was probable that it would incur remediation costs in the range of $17.0 million to $51.4 million. The Company also concluded that, as of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the best estimate within this range was $35.5 million, of which $1.2 million was included in accrued and other current liabilities and the remainder was included in environmental liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2024 (Successor). While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the final resolution of all known claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Lower Passaic River, New Jersey. The Company and approximately 70 other companies (“Cooperating Parties Group” or “CPG”) are parties to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to perform a remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RI/FS”) of the 17-mile stretch known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area (“River”). The Company's potential liability stems from former operations at Lodi and Belleville, New Jersey (the “Lodi facility” and the “Belleville facility” respectively). In April 2014, the EPA issued a revised Focused Feasibility Study (“FFS”), with remedial alternatives to address cleanup of the lower 8-mile stretch of the River. The EPA estimated that the cost for the remediation alternatives ranged from $365.0 million to $3.2 billion and the EPA's preferred approach had an estimated cost of $1.7 billion. In April 2015, the CPG presented a draft of the RI/FS of the River to the EPA that included alternative remedial actions for the entire 17-mile stretch of the River. In March 2016, the EPA issued the Record of Decision (“ROD(s)”) for the lower 8 miles of the River with a slight modification on its preferred approach and a revised estimated cost of $1.38 billion. In October 2016, the EPA announced that Occidental Chemicals Corporation had entered into an agreement to develop the remedial design.
In August 2018, the EPA finalized a buyout offer of $0.3 million with the Company, limited to its former Lodi facility, for the lower 8 miles of the River. In September 2021, the EPA issued the ROD for the upper 9 miles of the River selecting source control as the remedy for the upper 9 miles with an estimated cost of $441.0 million. In September 2022, the Company entered into a conditional $0.3 million Early Cash-Out Consent Decree (“CD”) with the EPA as a buyout for its portion of the upper part of the River related to its former Lodi facility; finalization of the CD is subject to the EPA approval following the public comment period. The comment period resulted in a modification to the CD by the EPA which includes a cost reopener of $3.7 billion to the covenant not to sue. The United States filed the modified CD with the U. S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on January 17, 2024, and a motion for entry and response to comments was filed on January 31, 2024. One of the parties, OxyChem, filed a brief in opposition to the motion to enter the modified CD. On December 18, 2024, the judge granted the motion to enter the modified CD and the requests from OxyChem for discovery, oral argument and/or a hearing were denied. In January, 2025, Nokia of America appealed the judge’s decision to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
The portion of the liability related to the Belleville facility was discharged against the Company as a result of the 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings. Any reserves associated with this contingency were included in liabilities subject to compromise as of June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), and any related liabilities were discharged under the Bankruptcy Code. The portion of the liability related to the Lodi facility remains a part of the reserve until the CD is lodged.
As of December 27, 2024 (Successor), the Company estimated that its remaining liability related to the River was $21.1 million, which was included within environmental liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2024 (Successor). Despite the issuance of the revised FFS and the RODs for both the lower and upper River by the EPA, the RI/FS by the CPG, and the conditional CD by the EPA, there are many uncertainties associated with the final agreed-upon remediation, potential future liabilities and the Company's allocable share of the remediation. Given those uncertainties, the amounts accrued may not be indicative of the amounts for which the Company may be ultimately responsible and will be refined as the remediation progresses.
Bankruptcy Litigation and Appeals
First Lien Noteholder Matters. The 2020 Plan reinstated the 2025 First Lien Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $495.0 million and the note documents relating thereto. Certain holders of the 2025 First Lien Notes and the trustee in respect thereof (collectively, “Noteholder Parties”), objected to the reinstatement, arguing, among other things, that the Company was required to pay a significant make-whole premium as a condition to reinstatement of the 2025 First Lien Notes. In the course of confirming the 2020 Plan, the Bankruptcy Court overruled these objections.
On March 30, 2022, the Noteholder Parties appealed the confirmation order's approval of the reinstatement of the 2025 First Lien Notes to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“District Court”). The Company and the 2025 First Lien Notes trustee reached an agreement to hold the trustee's appeal in abeyance, to be determined by the result of the holders' appeals, subject to certain conditions, which was approved by the District Court. Briefing on the merits of the Noteholder Parties' appeals was completed on July 1, 2022. On the same date, the Company moved to dismiss the Noteholder Parties' appeals as equitably moot. Briefing on the motion was completed on August 5, 2022 and supplemental declarations were filed in the appeal. Oral argument was held on the Noteholder Parties' appeals on May 5, 2023, and the District Court took the matter under advisement.
As part of the 2023 restructuring support agreement (“2023 RSA”), certain holders including holders representing a substantial majority of the 2025 First Lien Notes (“Ad Hoc First Lien Notes Group”) agreed to settle these appeals through the 2023 Plan. Among other provisions, the 2023 Plan incorporates the 2025 First Lien Notes Makewhole Settlement (as defined in the 2023 Plan), which comprises the allowance of a 2025 First Lien Notes Makewhole Amount Claim (as defined in the 2023 Plan) in a stipulated amount of $14.9 million (or 3.0% of the principal amount of the 2025 First Lien Notes). In exchange, the Ad Hoc First Lien Notes Group agreed to dismiss its appeal, and to cause the trustee to dismiss its companion appeal, upon the 2023 Effective Date. On August 23, 2023, the parties wrote to the District Court to outline the settlement and request that the appeals be held in abeyance pending the confirmation of the amended 2023 Plan. On August 23, 2023, the District Court entered an order stating that it would defer indefinitely issuing a decision in the appeal, but reserving the right to file an opinion and order at any later time prior to the filing of a stipulated dismissal of the appeals. On August 28, 2023, Columbus Hill Capital Management, L.P., a Noteholder Party that had filed a separate appeal, agreed to dismiss its appeal because it had sold the entirety of its position in the 2025 First Lien Notes.
As further described herein, the 2023 Plan, including the 2025 First Lien Notes Makewhole Settlement, was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on October 10, 2023. The appeal of the Ad Hoc First Lien Notes Group was resolved under the 2023 Plan, and the parties thereto filed an agreement to voluntarily dismiss the appeal on December 5, 2023.
Other Matters
The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings relating to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair value is defined as the exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy as follows:
•Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 — significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The following tables provide a summary of the significant assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each period:

Debt and equity securities held in rabbi trusts. Debt securities held in rabbi trusts primarily consist of U.S. government and agency securities and corporate bonds. When quoted prices are available in an active market, the investments are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices for a security are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2. Equity securities held in rabbi trusts primarily consist of U.S. common stocks, which are valued using quoted market prices reported on nationally recognized securities exchanges. During the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), proceeds from debt and equity securities held in rabbi trusts were $22.6 million.
Equity securities. Equity securities consist of shares in Silence Therapeutics plc and Panbela Therapeutics, Inc. for which quoted prices are available in an active market; therefore, these investments are classified as level 1 and are valued based on quoted market prices reported on internationally recognized securities exchanges.
During the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor), the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor) and the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $17.4 million, $10.1 million and $22.2 million, respectively. During the period November 15, 2023 through December 29, 2023 (Successor) and the period June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 (Predecessor) the Company recognized unrealized gains $13.5 million, and $9.2 million, respectively, related to our investments within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Interest rate cap. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable-rate debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Predecessor), the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which serves to reduce the volatility on future interest expense cash outflows. The interest rate cap agreement has a total notional value of $860.0 million with an upfront premium of $20.0 million and provides the Company with interest rate protection (i) for the period March 16, 2023 through July 19, 2023 to the extent that the one-month LIBOR exceeds 4.65%, and (ii) for the period July 20, 2023 through March 26, 2026 to the extent that the one-month SOFR exceeds 3.84%. For purposes of the interest rate cap, SOFR is measured on a predetermined business day of every month, which may not coincide with either the Company’s fiscal period end or the date that SOFR is determined for purposes of the First and Second-Out Takeback Term Loans. The impact of the interest rate cap on the Company’s applicable interest rates as disclosed in Note 14 reflects the SOFR rate in effect on December 27, 2024 (Successor).
The interest rate cap agreement is not accounted for as a cash flow hedge and the changes in fair value of the interest rate cap were recorded within other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the interest rate cap is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor).
During the period March 16, 2023 to November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), the interest rate cap agreement qualified as a cash flow hedge. The premium paid was recognized in income on a rational basis, and changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap were recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and were subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period when the hedged interest affects earnings. Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company reassessed the interest rate cap and elected to not apply hedge accounting. As such, during the Successor period, the interest rate cap agreement was not accounted for as a cash flow hedge and the changes in fair value of the interest rate cap were recorded within other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company elected to use the income approach to value the interest rate cap derivative using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted) reflecting current market expectations about those future amounts. Level 2 inputs for derivative valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as LIBOR or SOFR rate curves, futures and volatilities. Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient in the fair value measurements. During the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) and the period November 15, 2023 to December 29, 2023 (Successor) the Company recognized $7.6 million and $8.4 million of unrealized loss, respectively, in other (expense) income, net. During the period December 31, 2022 through November 14, 2023 (Predecessor), the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $5.7 million within AOCI with a gain of $0.7 million being reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense, net. These amounts were related to the changes in fair value of the interest rate cap. The cash payment of the $20.0 million premium and other corresponding activity related to the interest rate cap were reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period December 31, 2022 to November 14, 2023 (Predecessor).
Debt derivative liabilities. The debt derivative liabilities related to the Company's First and Second-Out Takeback Term Loans and Takeback Notes was measured using a 'with and without' valuation model to compare the fair values of each debt instrument including the identified embedded derivative feature. The “with” value corresponds to the fair value of each instrument assuming mandatory prepayment upon an asset sale. The “without” value corresponds to the fair value of each instrument assuming no mandatory prepayment upon an asset sale. These derivative liabilities are classified as level 3 and the fair value of the debt instruments including the embedded derivative features were determined using the Black-Derman-Toy model, which includes significant unobservable inputs of probability and estimated timing of mandatory prepayment event before November 2025.
The debt derivative liability is recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value reported within earnings. The debt derivative liability was zero and $15.1 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively, and was recorded within accrued and other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2023 (Successor). During the year ended December 27, 2024 (Successor) the decrease in debt derivative liability was recognized in other (expense) income, net, within the consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred compensation liabilities. The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in the U.S., which permits eligible employees of the Company to defer a portion of their compensation. A recordkeeping account is set up for each participant and the participant chooses from a variety of funds for the deemed investment of their accounts. The recordkeeping accounts generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company's U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds.
Contingent consideration liabilities. In accordance with the 2020 Plan and the 2020 Scheme of Arrangement, the Company will provide consideration for the Terlivaz CVR primarily in the form of the achievement of a cumulative net sales milestone. The Company assesses the likelihood and timing of making such payments at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the contingent payment was measured based on the net present value of a probability-weighted assessment. The Company determined the fair value of the Terlivaz CVR as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor) to be $17.5 million and $14.7 million, respectively. All contingent consideration liabilities were classified within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments not measured at fair value as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor):
•The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the majority of other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents (level 1). The fair value of restricted cash was equivalent to its carrying value of $63.1 million and $80.7 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), (level 1), respectively. Included within the balance as of the 2023 Effective Date was $24.0 million related to the funding of a professional fee escrow account upon emergence from the 2023 Bankruptcy Proceedings. Refer to Note 3 for further information. As of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), the professional fee escrow balance was zero and $17.6 million.
•The Company's life insurance contracts are carried at cash surrender value, which is based on the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts (level 3). Significant assumptions used in determining the cash surrender value include the amount and timing of future cash flows, interest rates and mortality charges. The fair value of these contracts approximates the carrying value of $43.7 million and $45.3 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively. These contracts are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
•Successor debt. The Company's Takeback Notes and receivables securitization facility are classified as level 1, as quoted prices are available in an active market for these notes. Since quoted market prices for the Company's Takeback Term Loans are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2 for purposes of developing an estimate of fair value.

| Total Debt | $ | 915.6 | | | $ | 927.0 | | | $ | 1,765.3 | | | $ | 1,731.2 | |
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral from customers. A portion of the Company's accounts receivable outside the U.S. includes sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries' national economies.

21. | Segment and Geographical Data |
The Company operates in two reportable segments, which are further described below:
•Specialty Brands includes innovative specialty pharmaceutical brands; and
•Specialty Generics includes specialty generic drugs and API(s).
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer and Director. The CODM measures and evaluates the Company's operating segments based on segment net sales by product type and segment operating income. The CODM uses this information to evaluate the Company’s businesses operations and allocate resources. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances of segment net sales and segment operating income on a quarterly basis to assess performance and make decisions about allocating resources to the segments.
Certain amounts that the Company considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment operating income because the CODM evaluates the operating results of the segments excluding such items. These items may include, but are not limited to corporate and unallocated expenses and liabilities management and separation costs. Although these amounts are excluded from segment operating income, as applicable, they are included in reported consolidated operating loss and are reflected in the reconciliations presented below.
The CODM manages assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. The CODM is not regularly provided any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by operating segment. Total assets were approximately $3,302.6 million and $3,733.6 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively.
