CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our, or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or future performance contained in this report, including certain statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” "forecast," “predict,” “potential” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including: the effect of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the associated economic downturn and supply chain impacts on the Company's business, the timing, amount and cost of any share repurchases; future impairment charges; customer acceptance of new products; competition from other industry participants, some of whom have greater marketing resources or larger market shares in certain product categories than we do; pricing pressures from customers and consumers; resolution of uncertain tax positions, including the Company's appeal of the Notice of Assessment ("NoA") issued by the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) and the draft and final Notices of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPAs") issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the impact that an adverse result in any such proceeding could have on operating results, cash flows and liquidity; potential third-party claims and litigation, including litigation relating to our restatement of previously-filed financial information and litigation relating to uncertain tax positions, including the NoA and NOPAs; potential impacts of ongoing or future government investigations and regulatory initiatives; potential costs and reputational impact of product recalls and sales halts; the impact of tax reform legislation and healthcare policy; general economic conditions; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates; the consummation of announced acquisitions or dispositions and the success of such transactions, and our ability to realize the desired benefits thereof; and our ability to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced cost-reduction efforts, and strategic and other initiatives. An adverse result with respect to our appeal of any material outstanding tax assessments or litigation, including securities or drug pricing matters, could ultimately require the use of corporate assets to pay such assessments, damages from third-party claims, and related interest and/or penalties, and any such use of corporate assets would limit the assets available for other corporate purposes. Statements regarding the separation of the RX business, including the expected benefits, anticipated timing, form of any such separation and whether the separation ultimately occurs, are all subject to various risks and uncertainties, including future financial and operating results, our ability to separate the business, the effect of existing interdependencies with our manufacturing and shared service operations, and the tax consequences of the planned separation to us or our shareholders. These and other important factors, including those discussed in our form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019, this report under “Risk Factors” and in any subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Note 1



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General Information

The Company

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013 and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation, on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and its subsidiaries.

We are dedicated to making lives better by bringing Quality, Affordable Self-Care Products that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or treat conditions that can be self-managed. We are also a leading producer of generic prescription pharmaceutical topical products such as creams, lotions, and gels as well as nasal sprays and inhalers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included and include our accounts and the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting

Our reporting and operating segments are as follows:

Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA") comprises our consumer self-care business (OTC, contract manufacturing, infant formula, and oral self-care categories and our divested animal health category) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI") comprises our branded consumer self-care business primarily in Europe, our consumer self-care businesses in the United Kingdom and Australia, and our liquid licensed products business in the United Kingdom.
Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") comprises our prescription pharmaceuticals business in the U.S., predominantly generics, and our pharmaceuticals and diagnostic businesses in Israel.

Recent Accounting Standard Pronouncements
    
Below are recent Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU") that we are still assessing to determine the effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Description
 
Effective Date
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2018-14: Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
 
This guidance amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans.
 
December 31, 2020
 
We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption to related disclosures in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-12: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
 
This guidance enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740.
 
January 1, 2021
 
We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.


Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Update

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost.
We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes trade receivables and contract assets. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326 was not material.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets are measured collectively by geographic location. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the primary basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information may be made for significant changes in a geographic location’s economic conditions. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. These receivables are not included in the collective evaluation.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the instruments’ cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Trade receivables and contract assets are charged off against the allowance when the balance is no longer deemed collectible.

Product Category

We re-aligned our product categories in our CSCA and CSCI segments as of December 31, 2019. The re-alignment standardizes our categories and product level detail to provide consistency. This transformative step will optimize the way in which management reports and evaluates our business.

(3)
Consists primarily of liquid licensed products, our distribution business and other miscellaneous or otherwise uncategorized product lines and markets, none of which is greater than 10% of the segment net sales.

While the majority of revenue is recognized at a point in time, certain of our product revenue is recognized on an over time basis. Predominately, over time customer contracts exist in contract manufacturing arrangements, which occur in both the CSCA and CSCI segments. Contract manufacturing revenue was $49.5 million and $67.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively.

We also recognize a portion of the store brand OTC product revenues in the CSCA segment on an over time basis; however, the timing difference between over time and point in time revenue recognition for store brand contracts is not significant due to the short time period between the customization of the product and shipment or delivery.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions During the Three Months Ended March 28, 2020

Dexsil® 
    
On February 13, 2020, we acquired Dexsil®, a silicon supplement brand, from RXW Group Nv, for total cash consideration paid of approximately $8.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized the consideration paid as a brand-named intangible asset. We began amortizing the brand intangible over a 25-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product are included within our CSCI segment.

Steripod® 

On January 3, 2020, we acquired Steripod®, a leading toothbrush accessory brand and innovator in the toothbrush protector market, from Bonfit America Inc. Total consideration paid was $26.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized $24.9 million as a brand-named intangible asset. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to working capital. We began amortizing the brand intangible over a 25-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product are included within our CSCA segment.
    
Acquisition Accounted for as a Business Combination During the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Ranir Global Holdings, LLC

On July 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in Ranir Global Holdings, LLC ("Ranir"), a privately-held company, for total base consideration of $750.0 million in a debt-free, cash-free transaction. After post-closing adjustments, total cash consideration paid was $747.7 million, net of $11.5 million cash acquired. We funded the transaction with cash on hand and borrowings under the 2018 Revolver (as defined in Note 10).

Ranir is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is a leading global supplier of private label and branded oral self-care products. Ranir's U.S. operations are reported in our CSCA segment and its non-U.S. operations are reported in our CSCI segment.

The acquisition of Ranir was accounted for as a business combination and has been reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as of the acquisition date. From July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, Ranir generated Net sales of $151.4 million and had $7.6 million of Net income, which is inclusive of a non-recurring charge of $5.7 million related to inventory costs stepped up to acquisition date fair value.

We are in the process of finalizing the allocation of goodwill to Ranir's respective tax jurisdictions. As a result, the deferred tax balance sheet amounts remain subject to adjustments once the allocation is complete. The provisional acquisition amounts recognized for deferred taxes will be finalized as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in tax bases that differ from the preliminary amount of deferred taxes and goodwill recognized.

The goodwill of $291.1 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the anticipated growth from new product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and the synergies expected from combining the operations of Perrigo and Ranir. Preliminarily, goodwill of $212.2 million and $78.9 million was allocated to our CSCA and CSCI segments, respectively. We are currently evaluating the tax deductibility of the provisional goodwill. We expect some portion to be deductible for income tax purposes. The definite-lived intangible assets acquired consisted of trademarks and trade names, developed product technologies, and customer relationships. Trademarks and trade names were assigned useful lives that ranged from 20 to 25 years. Developed product technologies were assigned 10-year useful lives and customer relationships were assigned 24-year useful lives. Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. Trademarks and trade names, developed technology, and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") were valued using the relief from royalty method. Significant judgment was applied in estimating the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, including revenue growth rates, projected profit margins, and discount rates.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU remove disclosure requirements in Topic 820 related to the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the ASU adds disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. We have amended certain of our quantitative Level 3 fair value measurement disclosures to add the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 6


We value our contingent milestone payment from Royalty Pharma using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma until the contingent milestones are resolved. As of March 28, 2020, volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones had a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. Rate of return and the estimated fair value of the milestones had an inverse relationship, such that a lower rate of return correlates with a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties. The table below represents the volatility and rate of return:

During the three months ended March 28, 2020 the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment related to 2020 increased by $1.6 million to $96.9 million, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The adjustment was driven by higher volatility, higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® compared to the estimates in the prior period, and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out. During the three months ended March 30, 2019 the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments increased by $10.4 million driven by higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out.

The Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® were $337.5 million in 2018, which triggered the $250.0 million milestone payment received during the first quarter of 2019. There is no contingent milestone based on 2019 sales of Tysabri®. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write off the $96.9 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $303.1 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contingent consideration represents milestone payment obligations obtained through product acquisitions, which are valued using estimates based on probability-weighted outcomes, sensitivity analysis, and discount rates reflective of the risk involved. The estimates are updated quarterly and the liabilities are adjusted to fair value depending on a number of assumptions, including the competitive landscape and regulatory approvals that may impact the future sales of a product.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 6



As of March 28, 2020, the contingent consideration payments liability was primarily comprised of sales-based milestones related to an IPR&D asset acquired in a prior transaction in our RX segment. The contingent consideration payments liability also included certain event-based milestones, which were immaterial. The fair value of our contingent consideration sales-based milestones as of March 28, 2020, was calculated using the following significant unobservable inputs:

We reevaluate the significant unobservable inputs of the sales-based milestones quarterly based on project developments and changes in contingent elements of the liability.

IRS Audit of Fiscal Years Ended June 29, 2013, June 28, 2014, and June 27, 2015    

On August 22, 2019, we received a draft Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS with respect to our fiscal tax years ended June 28, 2014 and June 27, 2015 relating to the deductibility of interest on $7.5 billion in debts owed to Perrigo Company plc by Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Perrigo Company, plc. The debts were incurred in connection with the Elan merger transaction in 2013. The draft NOPA would cap the interest rate on the debts for U.S. federal tax purposes at 130.0% of the Applicable Federal Rate (a blended rate reduction of 4.0% per annum from the rates agreed to by the parties), on the stated ground that the loans were not negotiated on an arms’-length basis. As a result of the proposed interest rate reduction, the draft NOPA proposes a reduction in gross interest expense of approximately $480.0 million for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. If the IRS were to prevail in its proposed adjustment, we estimate an increase in tax expense for such fiscal years of approximately $170.0 million, excluding interest and penalties. In addition, we would expect the IRS to seek similar adjustments for the period from June 28, 2015 through December 31, 2019. If those further adjustments were sustained, based on our preliminary calculations and subject to further analysis, our current best estimate is that the additional tax expense would not exceed $200.0 million, excluding interest and penalties, for the period June 28, 2015 through December 31, 2019. We do not expect any similar adjustments beyond December 31, 2019 as proposed regulations, issued under section 267A of the Internal Revenue Code, would eliminate the deductibility of interest on this debt. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. No payment of any amount related to the proposed adjustments is required to be made, if at all, until all applicable proceedings have been completed.

Following receipt of the draft NOPA, Perrigo provided the IRS with a detailed written response on September 20, 2019. That submission included an analysis by external advisors that supported the original interest rates as being consistent with arms’-length rates for comparable debt and explained why the exam team’s analyses and conclusions were both factually and legally misguided. Based on discussions with the IRS, we had believed that the IRS staff would take our submission into account and meet with us to discuss whether this issue could be resolved at the examination level. However, in the weeks following such discussions, IRS staff advised that they would not respond in detail to our September submission or negotiate the interest rate issue prior to issuing a final NOPA consistent with the draft NOPA. Accordingly, we currently expect that we will receive a final NOPA regarding this matter that proposes substantially the same adjustments described in the draft NOPA.

IRS Audit of Fiscal Years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012    

On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the IRS, plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal tax years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012 (the “2009 tax year,” “2010 tax year,” “2011 tax year,” and “2012 tax year,” respectively). In response to our complaint, the United States District Court for Western District of Michigan scheduled a trial date for late May 2020 which has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS audits of those years culminated in the issuances of two statutory notices of deficiency: (1) on August 27, 2014 for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and (2) on April 20, 2017 for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The statutory notices of deficiency both included un-agreed income adjustments related principally to transfer pricing adjustments regarding the purchase, distribution, and sale of store-brand OTC pharmaceutical products in the United States. In addition, the statutory notice of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalization of certain expenses that

26

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 13


were deducted when paid or incurred in defending against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Upon the disallowance of such refund claims, we timely filed the above complaint, which seeks refunds of tax, interest, and penalties of $37.2 million for the 2009 tax year, $61.5 million for the 2010 tax year, $40.2 million for the 2011 tax year, and $24.7 million for the 2012 tax year, for a total of $163.6 million. The amounts sought in the complaint for the 2009 and 2010 tax years were recorded as deferred charges in Other non-current assets on our balance sheet during the three months ended March 28, 2015, and the amounts sought in the complaint for the 2011 and 2012 tax years were recorded as deferred charges in Other non-current assets on our balance sheet during the three months ended July 1, 2017. The total cumulative deferred charge that the company is seeking to receive in this litigation is approximately $101.8 million, which reflects (i) a deduction of $29.7 million from the total reflected above due to overpayments credited to succeeding years and (ii) the impact of a previously conceded royalty due to Perrigo U.S. on all omeprazole sales that equates to 24.0% of the above refund claims. That 24.0% concession would also apply to any omeprazole adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS for future years.

IRS Audit of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013    

On April 26, 2019, we received a revised NOPA from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. The NOPA carries forward the IRS's theory from its 2017 draft NOPA that when Elan took over the future funding of Athena's in-process research and development after acquiring Athena in 1996, Elan should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for the right to exploit Athena’s intellectual property, rather than rates based on transfer pricing documentation prepared by Elan's external tax advisors. The NOPA proposes a payment of $843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a 40.0% penalty. This amount excludes consideration of offsetting tax attributes and potentially material interest. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. Accordingly, on April 14, 2020, we filed a request for Competent Authority Assistance with the IRS. No payment of the additional amounts is required until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty negotiation.

On December 22, 2016, we received a NOPA from the IRS regarding the deductibility of litigation costs related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. We strongly disagree with the IRS’s position asserted in the NOPA and are contesting it.
    
Irish Revenue Audit of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013

On October 30, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The audit finding letter relates to the tax treatment of the 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual property and other assets related to Tysabri® to Biogen Idec from Elan Pharma. The consideration paid by Biogen to Elan Pharma took the form of an upfront payment and future contingent royalty payments. Irish Revenue issued a Notice of Amended Assessment (“NoA”) on November 29, 2018 which assesses an Irish corporation tax liability against Elan Pharma in the amount of €1,636 million, not including interest or any applicable penalties.

We strongly disagree with this assessment and believe that the NoA is without merit and incorrect as a matter of law. We filed an appeal of the NoA on December 27, 2018 and will pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues as may be necessary or appropriate. In connection with that, Elan Pharma was granted leave by the Irish High Court on February 25, 2019 to seek judicial review of the issuance of the NoA by Irish Revenue. The judicial review filing is based on our belief that Elan Pharma's legitimate expectations as a taxpayer have been breached, not on the merits of the NoA itself. The High Court scheduled a hearing in this judicial review proceeding for April 2020 which has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If we are ultimately successful in the judicial review proceedings, the NoA will be invalidated and Irish Revenue will not be able to re-issue the NoA. The proceedings before the Tax Appeals Commission have been stayed until a decision on the judicial review application has been made. If for any reason the judicial review proceedings are ultimately unsuccessful in establishing that Irish Revenue's issuance of the NoA breaches our legitimate expectations, Elan Pharma will reactivate its appeal to challenge the merits of the NoA before the Tax Appeals Commission.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 13


The Israel Tax Authority is auditing our fiscal year ended June 27, 2015, and calendar years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable and that we prepare our tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audit and any related litigation could be materially different from our estimates or from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments.
    
Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statute of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions - one or more of which may occur within the next twelve months - it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as of March 28, 2020. However, we are not able to estimate a reasonably possible range of how these events may impact our unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.
    
NOTE 14 – CONTINGENCIES

In view of the inherent difficulties of predicting the outcome of various types of legal proceedings, we cannot determine the ultimate resolution of the matters described below. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when losses associated with the claims become probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those matters. For matters where the likelihood or extent of a loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated as of March 28, 2020, we have not recorded a loss reserve. If certain of these matters are determined against us, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently believe we have valid defenses to the claims in these lawsuits and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously regardless of whether or not we have a loss reserve. Other than what is disclosed below, we do not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to which we are currently subject to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

Price-Fixing Lawsuits

We are a defendant in several cases in the generic pricing multidistrict litigation MDL No. 2724 (United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania). This multidistrict litigation, which has many cases that do not include Perrigo, includes class action and opt-out cases for federal and state antitrust claims.

We have been named as a co-defendant with certain other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in a number of class actions alleging single-product conspiracies to fix or raise the prices of certain drugs and/or allocate customers starting, in some instances, as early as June 2013. The class actions were filed on behalf of putative classes of (a) direct purchasers, (b) end payors, and (c) indirect resellers. The products in question are Clobetasol gel, Desonide, and Econazole. Pursuant to the court’s schedule staging various cases in phases, we moved to dismiss the complaints relating to Clobetasol and Econazole. The court issued a decision denying the motions in part in October 2018 and issued a second decision in February 2019 dismissing various state law claims, but allowing other state law claims to proceed. We filed answers to the Clobetasol gel complaints on December 31, 2018. We filed answers to the Desonide and Econazole complaints on March 15, 2019. The cases are proceeding in document discovery.

The same three putative classes have each filed complaints naming us as a co-defendant, along with 27 other manufacturers, alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix or raise the prices of 15 generic prescription pharmaceutical products starting in 2011. Perrigo manufactures only two of the products at issue, Nystatin cream and Nystatin ointment. Motions to dismiss certain single-product and overarching complaints listed above were filed on February 21, 2019. Plaintiffs’ oppositions were due on May 2, 2019 and defendants’ replies were filed on June 13, 2019. On August 15, 2019, the Court denied the Defendants’ joint motions to dismiss certain overarching conspiracy allegations. The cases are proceeding in document discovery.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


In December 2019, both the end payor and indirect reseller class plaintiffs filed new overarching complaints against us, dozens of other manufacturers of generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and certain individuals. The Direct Purchaser plaintiffs filed a new overarching conspiracy complaint in February 2020. The complaints also allege conspiracies relating to the sale of various new products, the majority of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The indirect reseller complaint alleges that Perrigo conspired in connection with its sales of Immiquimod cream, Desonide cream and ointment, and Hydrocortisone Valerate cream. The end payor and direct purchaser
complaints allege that Perrigo conspired in connection with its sale of the following drugs: Betamethasone Dipropionate, Bromocriptine Mesylate, Clindamycin Phosphate, Fenofibrate, Halobetasol Proprionate, Hydrocortisone Valerate, Permethrin, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaints, and responses are currently stayed.

On March 11, 2020, the indirect reseller plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the December 2019 complaint. The proposed amended complaint adds additional products and allegations to the original complaint. Perrigo is discussed in connection with allegations concerning an additional drug, Betamethasone Dipropionate lotion. On April 24, 2020, defendants entered into a joint stipulation with the indirect reseller plaintiffs not to oppose the motion to amend and to stay responses to the amended complaint. The stipulation and proposed order is pending Court approval.

We have also been named a co-defendant along with 35 other manufacturers in a complaint filed by three supermarket chains alleging that defendants conspired to fix prices of 31 generic prescription pharmaceutical products starting in 2013. The only allegations specific to us relate to Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment. Perrigo moved to dismiss this complaint on February 21, 2019. The motion was denied on August 15, 2019. The case is proceeding in document discovery. On February 3, 2020, the plaintiffs requested leave to file a second amended complaint. The proposed amended complaint adds dozens of additional products and allegations to the original complaint. Perrigo is discussed in connection with allegations concerning an additional drug, Fenofibrate. Defendants opposed the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint and a sur-reply in support of defendants’ opposition is due to be filed on March 30, 2020.

On August 3, 2018, a large managed care organization filed a complaint against us alleging price-fixing and customer allocation concerning 17 different products among 27 manufacturers including Perrigo. The only allegations specific to us concern Clobetasol. Perrigo moved to dismiss this complaint on February 21, 2019. The motion was denied on August 15, 2019. The case is proceeding in document discovery.

On January 16, 2019, a similar suit was brought by a health insurance carrier in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging a conspiracy to fix prices of 30 products among 30 defendants. The only allegations specific to us concern Clobetasol gel, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

On July 18, 2019, 87 health plans filed a Praecipe to Issue Writ of Summons in Pennsylvania state court to commence an action against 53 generic pharmaceutical manufacturers and 17 individuals, alleging antitrust violations concerning generic pharmaceutical drugs. While Perrigo was named as a defendant, no complaint has been filed. Proceedings in the case, including the filing of a complaint, have been stayed at the request of the plaintiffs.

On December 11, 2019, a health care service company filed a complaint against us and 38 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other multi-district litigation ("MDL") complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin cream/ointment. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

On December 16, 2019, a Medicare Advantage claims recovery company filed a complaint against us and 39 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin cream/ointment. The complaint was originally filed in the District of Connecticut but will be consolidated

into the MDL. Perrigo has not yet had the opportunity to respond to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

On December 23, 2019, several counties in New York filed an amended complaint against us and 28 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, and Econazole. The complaint was originally filed in New York State court but was removed to federal court and will likely be consolidated into the MDL. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

On December 27, 2019, a healthcare management organization filed a complaint against us and 25 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, and Econazole. The complaint was filed originally in the Northern District of California but will be consolidated into the MDL. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

On March 1, 2020, Harris County of Texas, filed a complaint against Perrigo New York, Inc. and 29 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, and Econazole. The complaint was originally filed in New York State court but will be transferred to the MDL. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

At this stage, we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the liability if any, associated with the claims listed above.

Securities Litigation
 
In the United States (cases related to events in 2015-2017)

On May 18, 2016, a shareholder filed a securities case against us and our former CEO, Joseph Papa, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (Roofers’ Pension Fund v. Papa, et al.). The plaintiff purported to represent a class of shareholders for the period from April 21, 2015 through May 11, 2016, inclusive. The original complaint alleged violations of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against both defendants and 20(a) control person liability against Mr. Papa. In general, the allegations concerned the actions taken by us and the former executive to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015. The plaintiff also alleged that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure concerning alleged integration problems related to the Omega acquisition in the period from April 21, 2015 through May 11, 2016. On July 19, 2016, a different shareholder filed a securities class action against us and our former CEO, Joseph Papa, also in the District of New Jersey (Wilson v. Papa, et al.). The plaintiff purported to represent a class of persons who sold put options on our shares between April 21, 2015 and May 11, 2016. In general, the allegations and the claims were the same as those made in the original complaint filed in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. On December 8, 2016, the court consolidated the Roofers' Pension Fund case and the Wilson case under the Roofers' Pension Fund case number. In February 2017, the court selected the lead plaintiffs for the consolidated case and the lead counsel to the putative class. In March 2017, the court entered a scheduling order.

On June 21, 2017, the court-appointed lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that superseded the original complaints in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case and the Wilson case. In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiffs seek to represent three classes of shareholders - shareholders who purchased shares during the period April 21, 2015 through May 3, 2017 on the U.S. exchanges; shareholders who purchased shares during the same period on the Tel Aviv exchange; and shareholders who owned shares on November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (the final day of the Mylan tender offer) regardless of whether the shareholders tendered their shares. The amended complaint names as defendants us and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo (Mses. Judy Brown, Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, and Messrs. Joe Papa, Marc Coucke, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The

30

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


amended complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants and 20(a) control person liability against the 11 individuals. In general, the allegations concern the actions taken by us and the former executives to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015 and the allegedly inadequate disclosure throughout the entire class period related to purported integration problems related to the Omega acquisition, alleges incorrect reporting of organic growth at the Company and at Omega, alleges price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream. The amended complaint does not include an estimate of damages. During 2017, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, which the plaintiffs opposed. On July 27, 2018, the court issued an opinion and order granting the defendants’ motions to dismiss in part and denying the motions to dismiss in part. The court dismissed without prejudice defendants Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, Donal O’Connor, and Marc Coucke. The court also dismissed without prejudice claims arising from the Tysabri® accounting issue described above and claims alleging incorrect disclosure of organic growth described above. The defendants who were not dismissed are Perrigo Company plc, Joe Papa, and Judy Brown. The claims (described above) that were not dismissed relate to the integration issues regarding the Omega acquisition, the defense against the Mylan tender offer, and the alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The defendants who remain in the case (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) have filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of litigation has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On November 14, 2019, the court granted the lead plaintiffs’ motion and certified three classes for the case: (i) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 inclusive on a U.S. exchange and were damaged thereby; (ii) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 inclusive on the Tel Aviv exchange and were damaged thereby; and (iii) all those who owned shares as of November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (whether or not a person tendered shares in response to the Mylan tender offer)(the "tender offer class"). Defendants filed a petition for leave to appeal in the Third Circuit challenging the certification of the tender offer class, and the class plaintiffs have filed an opposition. On April 30, 2020, the Third Circuit denied leave to appeal.

On November 1, 2017, Carmignac Gestion, S.A., filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Carmignac Gestion, S.A. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5), 14(e), and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through April 2016. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure throughout the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, our reporting about the generic prescription pharmaceutical business and its prospects, and the activities surrounding the efforts to defeat the Mylan tender offer during 2015. Many of the allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. Because this plaintiff made some factual allegations that were not asserted in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case. On July 31, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability. The case is now in the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On January 16, 2018, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5) and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with

respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff did not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. Because this plaintiff made some factual allegations that were not asserted in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case. On July 31, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability. On January 3, 2020, the plaintiff filed a consented notice of voluntary dismissal dismissing its section 18 claims with prejudice and dismissing its 10(b) and 20(a) claims without prejudice. The Court approved the dismissal on January 7, 2020, and this case has now ended.

On January 26, 2018, two different plaintiff groups (the Mason Capital group and the Pentwater group) each filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are defendants in the amended complaint in the securities class action case described above (Roofers’ Pension Fund case). The same law firm represents these two plaintiff groups, and the two complaints are substantially similar. These two cases are not securities class actions. One case is styled Mason Capital L.P., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The other case is styled Pentwater Equity Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., et al.  v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and also was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Both cases are assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action case and the other individual cases described above (Carmignac). Each complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the factual allegations in these two cases overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above and the allegations in the Carmignac case described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to these cases conferred about how these cases should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in these cases. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the cases has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

On February 13, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services, Ltd. filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are defendants in the amended complaint in the securities class action case described above (Roofers’ Pension Fund case). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The new complaint is substantially similar to the amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case. The relevant period in the new complaint stretches from February 2014 to May 2, 2017. The complaint adds as defendants two individuals who served on our Board prior to 2016. The case is styled Harel Insurance Company, Ltd., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action cases and the three other individual cases described above (Carmignac, Mason Capital, and Pentwater). The Harel Insurance Company complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and related SEC Rule 10b‑5) and section 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. The complaint also asserts claims based on Israeli securities laws. In general, the plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from February 2014 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer events in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset from February 2014 until the withdrawal of past financial statements in April 2017. Many of the factual allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above and the allegations in the four opt out cases also described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should

proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the litigation has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On February 16, 2018, First Manhattan Company filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled First Manhattan Co. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was assigned to the same judge hearing the class action case and the four other opt out cases. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5), 14(e), and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. This lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed the Carmignac case described above and generally makes the same factual assertions as in the Carmignac case. Many of the allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. On April 20, 2018, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that did not materially change the factual allegations of the original complaint. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. Because this plaintiff made some factual allegations that were not asserted in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case. On July 31, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability. The case is now in the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On April 20, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with TIAA-CREF filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are the defendants in the Harel Insurance case complaint. This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The law firm representing the plaintiffs in the Harel Insurance case also represents the TIAA-CREF plaintiff entities in this case, and the new complaint is substantially similar to the Harel Insurance complaint. The relevant period in the new complaint is August 14, 2014 to May 2, 2017 inclusive. The case is styled TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action case and the six other individual cases described above (Carmignac, Mason Capital, Pentwater, Harel Insurance, and First Manhattan). The TIAA-CREF Investment Management complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and related SEC Rule l0b-5), section 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as section 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from August 2014 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer events in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset from August 2014 until the withdrawal of past financial statements in April 2017. Many of the factual allegations in this case also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed.

We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On October 29, 2018, Nationwide Mutual Funds and Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust (both on behalf of several fund series) filed a securities lawsuit against us and two individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and former CFO Judy Brown). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Nationwide Mutual Funds, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was assigned to the same judge hearing the class action case and the six other opt out cases.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5), and 14(e) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs' allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017 (including the period of the Mylan tender offer). Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, and alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. This lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed the First Manhattan case and the Carmignac case described above and generally makes the same factual assertions as in the First Manhattan case. The complaint does not include factual allegations that the Court dismissed in the July 2018 ruling in the Roofers' Pension Fund case also described above. Many of the allegations in this case also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case.

The case is now in the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On November 15, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with Westchester Capital Funds filed a lawsuit against us, our former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and our former CFO Judy Brown. This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The same law firm that represents the plaintiffs in the Mason Capital L.P. case and the Pentwater Equity Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. case (described above) represents the affiliates of the Westchester Funds in this lawsuit. The factual allegations of the complaint are substantially similar to the factual allegations of the complaints in the Mason Capital and in the Pentwater cases described above. The case is styled WCM Alternative: Event-Drive Fund, et al. v. Perrigo Co., plc, et al., and is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The WCM case is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the Roofers' Pension Fund class action case and the seven other individual cases described above. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and SEC Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person claims against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs’ allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 as well us up through May 3, 2017. Plaintiffs identify disclosures concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the factual allegations in this complaint overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. In view of the court’s July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the cases has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On November 15, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with Hudson Bay Capital Management LP filed a lawsuit against us, our former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and our former CFO Judy Brown. This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The same law firm that represents the plaintiffs in the Mason Capital L.P., the Pentwater Equity Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., and the WCM cases (described above) represents the affiliates of Hudson Bay Capital Management in this lawsuit. The factual allegations of the complaint are substantially similar to the factual allegations of the complaints in the Mason Capital, in the Pentwater, and in the WCM cases described above. The case is styled Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd., et al. v. Perrigo Co., plc, et al., and is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Hudson Bay Fund case is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the Roofers' Pension Fund class action case and the eight other individual cases described above. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 14(e) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person claims against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs’ allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017.

to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the cases has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

This case has now also moved into the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Plaintiffs do not provide a clear calculation of how they estimated damages and seek treble damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees. In March 2020, the District of Massachusetts court granted defendants’ motion and transferred this case to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey so that the activities in this case can proceed in tandem with the eleven other cases in the District of New Jersey listed above. After the transfer, the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their Massachusetts state law claims and proceed on their federal law claims. Plaintiffs will participate in the discovery activities of the other cases described above.

In Israel (cases related to events in 2015-2017)

Because our shares are traded on the Tel Aviv exchange under a dual trading arrangement, we are potentially subject to securities litigation in Israel. Three cases were filed; one was voluntarily dismissed in each of 2017 and 2018 and one was stayed in 2018. We are consulting Israeli counsel about our response to these allegations and we intend to defend this case vigorously.

On June 28, 2017, a plaintiff filed a complaint in Tel Aviv District Court styled Israel Elec. Corp. Employees’ Educ. Fund v. Perrigo Company plc, et al. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased Perrigo stock on the Tel Aviv exchange during the period April 24, 2015 through May 3, 2017 and also a claim for those that owned shares on the final day of the Mylan tender offer (November 13, 2015). The amended complaint names as defendants the Company, Ernst & Young LLP (the Company’s auditor), and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo (Mses. Judy Brown, Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, and Messrs. Joe Papa, Marc Coucke, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The complaint alleges violations under U.S. securities laws of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants and 20(a) control person liability against the 11 individuals or, in the alternative, under Israeli securities laws. In general, the allegations concern the actions taken by us and our former executives to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015 and the allegedly inadequate disclosure concerning purported integration problems related to the Omega acquisition, alleges incorrect reporting of organic growth at the Company, alleges price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream. The plaintiff indicates an initial, preliminary class damages estimate of 2.7 billion NIS (approximately $760.0 million at 1 NIS = 0.28 cents). After the other two cases filed in Israel were voluntarily dismissed, the plaintiff in this case agreed to stay this case pending the outcome of the Roofers’ Pension Fund case in the U.S. (described above). The Israeli court approved the stay, and this case is now stayed. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

In the United States (cases related to Irish Tax events)

On January 3, 2019, a shareholder filed a complaint against the Company, our CEO Murray Kessler, and our former CFO Ronald Winowiecki in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Masih v. Perrigo Company, et al.). Plaintiff purports to represent a class of shareholders for the period November 8, 2018 through December 20, 2018, inclusive. The complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general the allegations contend that the Company, in its Form 10‑Q filed November 8, 2018, disclosed information about an October 31, 2018 audit finding letter received from Irish tax authorities but failed to disclose enough material information about that letter until December 20, 2018, when we filed a current report on Form 8‑K about Irish tax matters. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of class damages. The Court selected lead plaintiffs and changed the name of the case to In re Perrigo Company plc Sec. Litig. The lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 12, 2019, which named the same defendants, asserted the same class period, and invoked the same Exchange Act sections. The amended complaint generally repeated the allegations of the original complaint with a few additional details and adds that the defendants also failed to timely disclose the Irish tax authorities’ Notice of Amended Assessment received on November 29, 2018. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 3, 2019. On May 31, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which asserted a longer class period

39

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


(March 1, 2018 through December 20, 2018) and added one additional individual defendant, former CEO Uwe Roehrhoff. In general, the second amended complaint contends that Perrigo’s disclosures about the Irish tax audit were inadequate beginning with Perrigo’s 10-K filed on March 1, 2018 through December 20, 2018 and repeats many of the allegations of the April 2019 amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and SEC Rule 10b-5) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person liability against the three individual defendants. All defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss. On January 23, 2020, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part, dismissing Mr. Roehrhoff as a defendant and dismissing allegations of inadequate disclosures related to the audit by Irish Revenue during the period March 2018 through October 30, 2018. The court permitted the plaintiffs to pursue their claims against us, Mr. Kessler, and Mr. Winowiecki related to disclosures after Perrigo received the October 30, 2018 audit findings letter and later events through December 20, 2018. The Defendants filed answers on February 13, 2020 denying liability, and the Court held a scheduling conference on February 28, 2020, and issued a scheduling order on March 3, 2020. Discovery on the remaining issues is underway. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

In Israel (cases related to Irish Tax events)

On December 31, 2018, a shareholder filed an action against the Company, our CEO Murray Kessler, and our former CFO Ronald Winowiecki in Tel Aviv District Court (Baton v. Perrigo Company plc, et. al.). The case is a securities class action brought in Israel making similar factual allegations for the same period as those asserted in the In re Perrigo Company plc Sec. Litig case in New York federal court. This case alleges that persons who invested through the Tel Aviv stock exchange can assert claims under Israeli securities law that will follow the liability principles of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of class damages. In 2019, the court granted two requests by Perrigo to stay the proceedings pending the resolution of proceedings in the United States. Perrigo filed a further request for a stay in February 2020, and the court granted the stay indefinitely. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Claim Arising from the Omega Acquisition

On December 16, 2016, we and Perrigo Ireland 2 brought an arbitral claim ("Claim") against Alychlo NV ("Alychlo") and Holdco I BE NV (together the "Sellers") in accordance with clause 26.2 of the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2014 ("SPA") and the rules of the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and Mediation ("CEPANI"). Our Claim relates to the accuracy and completeness of information about Omega provided by the Sellers as part of the sale process, the withholding of information by the Sellers during that process and breaches of Sellers’ warranties. We are seeking monetary damages from the Sellers. The Sellers served their respective responses to the Claim on February 20, 2017. In its response, Alychlo has asserted a counterclaim for monetary damages contending that we breached a warranty in the SPA and breached the duty of good faith in performing the SPA. Alychlo subsequently filed papers seeking permission to introduce an additional counterclaim theory of recovery related to the Irish tax issues disclosed by the Company such that if the position of the Irish tax authorities prevails, Alychlo would have further basis for its counterclaim against Perrigo. In June 2019, the Tribunal denied permission for Alychlo to introduce the additional counterclaim and dismissed certain aspects of the original Alychlo counterclaim. There can be no assurance that our Claim will be successful, and the Sellers deny liability for the Claim. To the extent that aspects of Alychlo’s counterclaim survived the Tribunal’s ruling in June 2019, we deny that Alychlo is entitled to any relief (including monetary relief). The arbitration proceedings are confidential as required by the SPA and the rules of the CEPANI.

Other Matters

Our Board of Directors received a shareholder demand letter dated October 30, 2018 relating to the allegations in the securities cases and price fixing lawsuits described above. The letter demands that the Board of Directors initiate an action against certain current and former executives and Board members to recover damages allegedly caused to the Company. In response, the Company reminded the shareholder that any derivative claim can only proceed in accordance with Irish law, the law that governs the Company’s internal affairs. The shareholder responded that he would file a lawsuit asserting derivative claims.

On October 2, 2019, the shareholder filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey styled Krueger derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Perrigo Company plc v. Alford, et al. The case was assigned to the same judge who is handling the Roofers' Pension Fund securities class action and related opt

In addition to the Company, the lawsuit names as defendants current Board members Alford, Classon, Karaboutis, Kindler, O’Connor, Parker, and Samuels, current CEO Kessler, former Board members Smith, Brlas, Cohen, Fouse, Hoffing, Jandernoa, Kunkle, and Morris, former CEO Hendrickson, former CEO Papa, former CFO Brown, former CFO Winowiecki, and former Executive Vice Presidents Boothe and Coucke. The lawsuit seeks to authorize the shareholder to pursue claims on behalf of the Company against all the individual defendants for breach of their fiduciary duties and for unjust enrichment, and against the current director defendants, former director Mr. Smith, and current CEO Mr. Kessler for violations of Exchange Act §§ 14(a) (proxy statement disclosures) and 29(b) (disgorgement as a result of alleged violations of § 14(a)). The complaint alleges that the following events indicate that the individuals in their respective capacities failed to exercise appropriate control over the management of the Company and made inadequate public disclosures concerning the integration of Omega after acquisition; the Company’s past and prospective organic growth; the defense against the Mylan 2015 tender offer; the alleged collusive pricing activities regarding generic prescription products; the accounting by the Company for the Tysabri® royalty stream; the 2018 Irish tax audit including potential liabilities for Irish taxes; and the April 2019 assertion of tax liabilities by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (many of these factual events also underlie the securities cases discussed earlier in this Note 14). All defendants have filed motions to dismiss asserting various reasons to dismiss. Plaintiff filed his opposition in March 2020. Defendants’ replies in support of dismissal are due in late June 2020. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Talcum Powder

The Company has been named, together with other manufacturers, in product liability lawsuits in state courts in Florida, Missouri and Illinois and in the Southern District of Mississippi alleging that the use of body powder products containing talcum powder causes mesothelioma and lung cancer due to the presence of asbestos. The Company has been named in 27 individual lawsuits seeking compensatory and punitive damages and has accepted a tender for a portion of the defense costs and liability from a retailer for one additional matter. The Company has not manufactured or sold talcum powder products since 1999. The Company has several defenses and intends to aggressively defend these lawsuits.   

Ranitidine

After regulatory bodies announced worldwide that ranitidine may potentially contain N-nitrosodimethylamine ("NDMA"), a known environmental contaminant, the Company promptly began testing its externally-sourced ranitidine API and ranitidine-based products. On October 8, 2019, the Company halted shipments of the product based upon preliminary results and on October 23, 2019, the Company made the decision to conduct a voluntary retail market withdrawal. As of April 29, 2020, the Company has been named in six product liability lawsuits in various federal courts alleging that plaintiffs developed various types of cancers or are placed at higher risk of developing cancer as a result of ingesting products containing ranitidine. The Company is named in these lawsuits with manufacturers of the national brand Zantac® and other manufacturers of ranitidine products and/or retailers. Some of the Company’s retailer customers are seeking indemnity from the Company for a portion of their defense costs and liability relating to these cases.  Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, and in some instances seek applicable remedies under state consumer protection laws. In February 2020, federal actions involving Zantac and other ranitidine products were transferred for coordinated pretrial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Zantac/Ranitidine Products Liability Litigation MDL No. 2924) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of the Oral Care Assets of High Ridge Brands
    
On April 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands for total agreed purchase consideration of $113.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital settlement which may raise or lower the purchase price. The consideration includes an $11.3 million deposit we paid during the three months ended March 28, 2020, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Other non-current assets. This acquisition includes the leading children’s oral care value brand, Firefly®, in addition to the REACH® and Dr. Fresh® brands. The U.S. operations, which represents a significant portion of the business, will be reported in our CSCA segment and the remaining non-U.S. operations will be reported in our CSCI segment.

During the three months ended March 28, 2020, in connection with the acquisition, we incurred $1.5 million of general transaction costs (legal, banking and other professional fees). The amounts were recorded in Administration expenses within the CSCA segment.

We are in the process of gathering significant relevant information needed to complete the valuation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the initial accounting for the acquisition accounting is incomplete. The provisional acquisition amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the supplemental pro-forma information will be included in our quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2020.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks referred to under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K and Part II. Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013 and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation, on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and its subsidiaries.

We are dedicated to making lives better by bringing quality, affordable self-care products that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or treat conditions that can be self-managed. We are also a leading producer of generic prescription pharmaceutical topical products such as creams, lotions, and gels as well as nasal sprays and inhalers.

Executive Overview



Our Segments

Our reporting and operating segments are as follows:

Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA") comprises our consumer self-care business (OTC, contract manufacturing, infant formula, and oral self-care categories and our divested animal health category) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI") comprises our branded consumer self-care business primarily in Europe, our consumer self-care businesses in the United Kingdom and Australia, and our liquid licensed products business in the United Kingdom.
Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") comprises our prescription pharmaceuticals business in the U.S., predominantly generics, and our pharmaceuticals and diagnostic businesses in Israel.

Our segments reflect the way in which our management makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company. Financial information related to our business segments and geographic locations can be found in Item 1. Note 2 and Note 16. For results by segment, see "Segment Results" below.

Highlights

We previously announced a plan to separate our RX business, which, if completed, would enable us to focus solely on our consumer-focused businesses. A separation of the RX business could include a possible sale, spin-off, merger or other form, and we have not committed to a time frame for a separation. We have incurred significant preparation costs due to the announced plan to separate, and if completed we could incur total costs in the range of $45.0 million to $80.0 million, excluding restructuring expenses and transaction costs, depending on timing and structure of a transaction.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

We have been impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the responses by government entities to combat the virus. We currently continue to operate in all our jurisdictions and are complying with the rules and guidelines prescribed in each jurisdiction. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies. Our first priority has been, and will continue to be, the safety of our employees who continue to come to work and are dedicated to keeping our essential products flowing into the market. We have taken extra precautions at our facilities to help ensure the health and safety of our employees that are in line with guidance from global health authorities and local authorities. Among other precautions implemented, we have restricted access to our facilities worldwide to essential employees only, implemented a multi-step pre-screening access process before an employee can enter a facility, communicated regularly with employees and provided education related to social distancing and hand washing, prioritized production to essential products, implemented remote work arrangements where appropriate, and restricted business travel. To date, these arrangements have not materially affected our ability to maintain our business operations, including the operation of financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures.

In March 2020, we experienced a surge in demand for certain of our essential health-care and self-care products due to consumer and customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We estimate that this surge added between $90.0 million to $110.0 million in net sales on a consolidated basis in the first quarter. At this time, we cannot realistically estimate how much of March's surge in sales was consumed, how much was purchased by atypical store brand buyers, or how much was a result of consumer pantry loading. As such, it is possible that consumer demand for such products in future periods may be reduced and could depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 related illnesses.

Both the outbreak of the disease and the actions to slow its spread have had an adverse impact on our operations by, among other things, disrupting our manufacturing operations, affecting the supply of raw materials and third party supplied finished goods, and preventing our employees from coming to work. We have responded to such impacts by, among other things, implementing protocols to protect the health of factory workers, adjusting production schedules, and seeking alternate suppliers where available, and so far, most of our facilities have continued to produce at high levels despite these challenges. However, if the pandemic continues or intensifies, it is

44

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Executive Overview



possible that these or other challenges may begin having a larger impact on our operations. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response and assessing potential impacts to our financial condition, supply chains and other operations, employees, results of operations, consumer demand for our products, and our ability to access capital. The magnitude of any such adverse impact cannot currently be determined due to a number of uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 (refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors for related risks).

We also experienced a decrease in our effective tax rate due to additional interest and depreciation deductions provided for in the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act enacted on March 27, 2020 resulting in a reduction of income tax expense by approximately $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. Given our financial strength, we expect to be able to maintain adequate liquidity as we manage through the current environment, however as a precautionary measure, in the first quarter, we took action to provide additional liquidity and preserve financial flexibility, as described in the Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

Three Months Ended March 28, 2020 vs. Three Months Ended March 30, 2019

Net sales increased $166.5 million, or 14%, due to:

45

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Consolidated


$203.0 million, or a 17%, net increase due primarily to an increase in demand for our consumer products due to increased cough and cold illnesses and allergens, and new product sales including the launch of albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol, both of which include the positive impact from a surge in demand for certain products due to consumer and customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an increase of $76.3 million due to our acquisition of Ranir. These increases were partially offset by pricing pressure, primarily in our RX segment, and an $11.2 million decrease due to discontinued products; partially offset by
$36.5 million decrease due primarily to:
$13.2 million primarily from unfavorable Euro foreign currency translation; and
$23.3 million due to our divested animal health business previously included in our CSCA segment and Canoderm prescription product previously included in the Nordic region of our CSCI segment.

Operating income increased $43.4 million, or 42%, due to:

$34.4 million increase in gross profit due primarily to increased net sales as described above, partially offset by operational inefficiencies primarily in our CSCA and RX segments. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 220 basis points due primarily to pricing pressure in our RX segment, operational inefficiencies, and unfavorable product mix; and

$9.0 million decrease in operating expenses due primarily to the absence of restructuring expenses taken in the prior year period, the absence of expenses for the divested animal health business, and a decrease in expenses related to our current cost savings initiative, partially offset by the inclusion of Ranir.

Recent Developments

Internal Revenue Service Complaint
    
On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the IRS, plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal tax years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012. In response to our complaint, the United States District Court for Western District of Michigan scheduled a trial date for late May 2020, which has now been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (refer to Item 1. Note 13).

Internal Revenue Service Notice of Proposed Adjustment
    
As previously disclosed, on April 26, 2019, we received a revised Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. Accordingly, on April 14, 2020, we filed a request for Competent Authority Assistance with the IRS (refer to Item 1. Note 13).
    
Irish Tax Appeals Commission Notice of Amended Assessment

On October 30, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 relating to the tax treatment of the 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual property and other assets related to Tysabri® to Biogen Idec from Elan Pharma.     We strongly disagree with this assessment and believe that the Notice of Amended Assessment ("NoA") is without merit and incorrect as a matter of law and appealed the assessment to the Tax Appeals Commission. We were also granted leave by the Irish High Court on February 25, 2019 to seek judicial review of the issuance of the NoA by Irish Revenue. The High Court had scheduled a hearing in this judicial review proceeding for April 2020, but that hearing has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (refer to Item 1. Note 13).

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
CSCA


CONSUMER SELF-CARE AMERICAS

Recent Trends and Developments

Towards the end of the quarter, we experienced an increase in demand for many of our OTC and infant nutrition products attributed to consumer reaction to the outbreak of COVID-19. We are uncertain as to what extent, or if, the demand will continue in the future and what the impact may be on our future results of operations. It is possible that consumer demand for such products in future periods may be reduced and could depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 related illnesses.

On April 6, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on our abbreviated new drug application for OTC diclofenac sodium topical gel 1%, the store brand equivalent to Voltaren® gel. When launched, this product will be marketed under store brand labels and will provide consumers with a high-quality, value alternative for the temporary relief of arthritis pain. We expect to launch the new OTC product later this year.

On April 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands for total agreed purchase consideration of $113.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital settlement which may raise or lower the purchase price. The consideration includes an $11.3 million deposit we paid during the three months ended March 28, 2020, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Other non-current assets. This acquisition includes the leading children’s oral care value brand, Firefly®, in addition to the REACH® and Dr. Fresh® brands. The addition of these brands positions us as the number one fastest-growing value brand player in the children’s oral care category and the strong licensing portfolio will enable creative solutions for our customers (refer to Item 1. Note 17).

On January 3, 2020, we acquired Steripod®, a leading toothbrush accessory brand and innovator in the toothbrush protector market, from Bonfit America Inc. Total consideration paid was $26.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized $24.9 million as a brand-named intangible asset. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to working capital. The acquisition, which includes a portfolio of antibacterial toothbrush protectors, kids’ toothbrush protectors and tongue cleaners, complements our current portfolio of oral self-care products, and leverages our manufacturing and marketing platform (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

Net sales increased $118.8 million, or 20%, due to:
$139.4 million, or a 24%, net increase due primarily to an increase of $18.3 million due to new product sales driven by an infant formula launch at a major retailer and Prevacid®, and e-commerce growth in the OTC and nutrition categories. Additional OTC category increases relate to market share gains from store brand competitors due to greater consumer purchases of existing and new products, and increased store brand penetration market-wide versus national brand. All of these drivers include the positive impact from a surge in demand for certain products due to consumer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
CSCA


Additionally, there was an increase of $55.3 million from our acquisition of Ranir. These increases were partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease due to discontinued products; partially offset by
$20.6 million decrease due primarily to:
$19.6 million due to our divested animal health business; and
$1.0 million of unfavorable Mexican peso foreign currency translation.

Operating income increased $30.4 million, or 32%, due primarily to:

$31.5 million increase in gross profit due primarily to increased net sales as described above, partially offset by carryover impact from the prior year operating inefficiencies at one of our infant nutrition facilities. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 80 basis points due primarily to operating inefficiencies at one of our infant nutrition facilities, and the exited animal health business, which had relatively higher gross margins than the overall portfolio, partially offset by favorable product mix; partially offset by
$1.1 million increase in operating expenses due primarily to the inclusion of Ranir, partially offset by the absence of expenses from the divested animal health business, and a decrease in expenses related to our current cost savings initiative.

CONSUMER SELF-CARE INTERNATIONAL

Recent Trends and Developments

Towards the end of the quarter, we experienced an increase in demand for products included in our upper respiratory and vitamins, minerals and supplements categories and certain of our store brand products, as well as a decrease in demand for certain products in our skincare and personal hygiene category, attributed primarily to consumer reaction to COVID-19. We are uncertain as to what extent, or if, the demand shift will continue in the future and what the impact may be on our future results of operations.

On February 13, 2020, we acquired Dexsil®, a silicon supplement brand, from RXW Group Nv, for total cash consideration paid of approximately $8.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized the consideration paid as a brand-named intangible asset. The acquisition provides additional opportunities for growth through new product launches and geographic expansion (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

In addition volume increased in our upper respiratory and vitamins, minerals and supplements categories and UK store brand business, which included the positive impact from a surge in demand for certain products due to consumer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially

offset by lower net sales in France, which has experienced overall declines and has been affected by strikes, regulatory restrictions and the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition the segment saw a decrease in sales of our existing weight management products; partially offset by

$17.0 million decrease due primarily to:
$13.3 million from unfavorable foreign currency translation primarily related to the Euro; and
$3.7 million due to our divested Canoderm prescription product previously included in the Nordic region.

Operating income increased $16.9 million, or 209%, due to:

$11.5 million increase in gross profit due primarily to increased net sales as described above, partially offset by operational inefficiencies. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 100 basis points due primarily to the acquisition of Ranir, which has a relatively lower gross margin than the overall portfolio, and operational inefficiencies, partially offset by favorable product mix; and

$5.4 million decrease in operating expenses due primarily to favorable Euro foreign currency translation, a decrease in expenses related to our current cost savings initiative, and a decrease in advertising and promotion expense, partially offset by the inclusion of Ranir.

PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICALS

Recent Trends and Developments

Although pricing pressure is beginning to moderate, we continue to experience a year-over-year reduction in pricing in our RX segment due to competitive approvals against products in our portfolio and overall competitive pressures. We expect softness in pricing to continue to impact the segment for the foreseeable future.

Towards the end of the quarter, as the COVID-19 pandemic gained momentum, we experienced increased customer interest in and demand for certain products that other competitors are struggling to consistently supply. It is too early to assess the scope and scale of this trend, which would depend on the duration and severity of supply disruptions that our competitors or we may experience, but we believe that our competitive advantage in supply chain strength and organizational efficiencies may allow us to, in the near term, benefit from the trend if competitors are unable to meet supply demands.

On February 24, 2020, along with our partner Catalent Pharma Solutions, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on our abbreviated new drug application for generic albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol, the first AB-rated generic version of ProAir® HFA. We launched commercially shortly after the approval.

Three Months Ended March 28, 2020 vs. Three Months Ended March 30, 2019

Net sales increased $15.8 million, or 7%, due to:
$14.7 million, or a 6%, net increase due to new product sales of $58.2 million driven mainly by the launch of generic albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol, the scopolamine relaunch, and diclofenac sodium topical gel 1%. This includes the positive impact from a surge in demand for certain products due to customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was partially offset by pricing pressure due partially to testosterone gel 1.62%, which still had 180-day market exclusivity in the prior year period, and $4.8 million of discontinued low margin distribution products; and
$1.1 million increase due to favorable foreign currency translation.
Operating income decreased $8.9 million, or 15%, primarily due to:

$8.5 million decrease in gross profit, or a 580 basis point decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales, due primarily to pricing pressure, third party operational inefficiencies on partnered products and higher inventory costs on a key product, partially offset by the gross profit from the incremental sales driven by generic albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol pre-launch inventory that was expensed as pre-commercialization product in the prior year.

The decrease of $5.1 million in unallocated expenses during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in Restructuring expense related primarily to the reorganization of our executive management team and a $10.3 million decrease in legal and consulting fees, partially offset by an increase of $8.6 million in employee compensation expenses, and a $4.2 million increase in insurance related expenses.

Change in Financial Assets

The proceeds from our 2017 sale of the Tysabri® financial asset consisted of $2.2 billion in upfront cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in contingent milestone payments related to 2018 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019 we received the $250.0 million contingent milestone payment.

During the three months ended March 28, 2020, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment related to 2020 increased by $1.6 million to $96.9 million, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The adjustment was driven by higher volatility, higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® compared to the estimates in the prior period, and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, the fair value of the

50

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Unallocated, Interest, Other, and Taxes


Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments increased by $10.4 million driven by higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out.
    
The Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® were $337.5 million in 2018, which triggered the $250.0 million milestone payment received during the first quarter of 2019. There is no contingent milestone based on 2019 sales of Tysabri®. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write off the $96.9 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $303.1 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

Interest Expense, Net

The $1.6 million increase during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to increased interest expense as result of the 2019 Term Loan refinancing and a reduction in interest income received.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

The $0.8 million decrease during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to unfavorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Income Taxes (Consolidated)

The effective tax rates were as follows:
Three Months Ended

2020
 
March 30,
2019
7.2
%
 
21.1
%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to additional interest and depreciation deductions provided for in the CARES Act. The CARES Act reduced income tax expense by approximately $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, of which $15.8 million relates to retroactive adjustments to the 2018 and 2019 tax years while $4.2 million relates to the 2020 tax year (refer to Item 1. Note 13 for more information on income taxes).

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We finance our operations with internally generated funds, supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate other available financing sources including term and revolving bank credit and securities offerings. In determining our future capital requirements we regularly consider, among other factors, known trends and uncertainties, such as the Notice of Assessment ("NoA") and the draft and final Notices of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPAs"), the current COVID-19 pandemic, and other contingencies. We note that no payment of the additional amounts assessed by Irish Revenue pursuant to the NoA or proposed by the IRS in the NOPAs is currently required, and no such payment is expected to be required, unless and until a final determination of the matter is reached that is adverse to us, which could take several years in either case (refer to Item 1. Note 13 for additional information on the NoA and NOPAs). Based on the foregoing, management believes that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our short-term and long-term capital requirements, as described below. However, an adverse result with respect to our appeal of any material outstanding tax assessments or litigation, including securities or drug pricing matters, could ultimately require the use of corporate assets to pay such assessments, damages resulting from third-party claims, and related interest and/or penalties, and any such use of corporate assets would limit the assets available for other corporate purposes. As such, we continue to evaluate the impact of the above factors on liquidity and may determine that modifications to our capital structure are appropriate if market conditions deteriorate, favorable capital market opportunities become available,

or any change in conditions relating to the NoA, the NOPAs, the COVID-19 pandemic or other contingencies have a material impact on our capital requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

CHART-BA590BABA7005ADF85D.JPG
* Working capital represents current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash and cash equivalents, and excluding current indebtedness.

Cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowings available under our credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to finance our liquidity and capital expenditures in both the short and long term. Although our lenders have made commitments to make funds available to us in a timely fashion under our revolving credit agreements and overdraft facilities, if economic conditions worsen, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or new information becomes publicly available impacting the institutions’ credit rating or capital ratios, these lenders may be unable or unwilling to lend money pursuant to our existing credit facilities. Should our outlook on liquidity requirements change substantially from current projections, we may seek additional sources of liquidity in the future.

Cash Generated by (Used in) Operating Activities
CHART-9CEF75F7A3AA509591D.JPG
The $77.3 million increase in operating cash inflow was due primarily to:

$74.0 million increase in cash due to the change in inventory, primarily related to increased sales;
$48.1 million decrease in the use of cash due to the change in accrued customer programs, due primarily to pricing dynamics in our RX segment as well as timing of rebate and chargeback payments;
$14.8 million increase in cash due to the change in net earnings after adjustments for items such as deferred income taxes, impairment charges, restructuring charges, changes in our financial assets, share-based compensation, amortization of debt premium, and depreciation and amortization; and

$29.7 million decrease in cash due to the change in prepaid expenses due primarily to an increase in our directors and officers prepaid insurance and payments made for annual prepaid expenses, partially offset by payments received related to our cross currency swap;
$21.6 million decrease in cash due to the change in accounts payable due primarily to the timing of payments and mix of payments terms; and
$19.1 million decrease in cash due to the change in accounts receivable due primarily to timing of sales and receipt of payments.

Cash Generated by (Used in) Investing Activities
CHART-EE2F8D595AF152E784D.JPG

The $304.9 million decrease in investing cash flow was due primarily to:

$250.0 million decrease in cash due to the absence of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone proceeds received in the prior year period (refer to Item 1. Note 6);
$11.3 million decrease in cash for a deposit paid for the High Ridge Brands acquisition (refer to Item 1. Note 17);
$32.7 million decrease in cash due to acquisitions, primarily for the purchase of the Steripod® brand for $24.9 million and the Dexsil® brand for approximately $8.0 million (refer to Item 1. Note 3); and
$12.7 million decrease in cash due to capital spending, primarily to increase tablet and infant formula capacity and for quality/regulation projects.

$5.0 million increase in dividend payments.

Dividends    

The declaration and payment of dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, availability of distributable reserves, capital and surplus requirements, and other factors our Board of Directors may consider relevant.

Share Repurchases

In October 2018, our Board of Directors authorized up to $1.0 billion of share repurchases with no expiration date, subject to the Board of Directors’ approval of the pricing parameters and amount that may be repurchased under each specific share repurchase program.

Borrowings and Capital Resources

CHART-B0B99CC811825E2AA90.JPG
Revolving Credit Agreements

On March 8, 2018, we entered into a $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement maturing on March 8, 2023 (the "2018 Revolver"). There were $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of March 28, 2020, which was drawn during the first quarter as a precautionary measure to provide additional liquidity and to

54

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


preserve financial flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of December 31, 2019.

Term Loans and Notes

On March 8, 2018, we refinanced the €350.0 million outstanding under the previous term loan with the proceeds of a new €350.0 million ($431.0 million) term loan, maturing on March 8, 2020 (the "2018 Term Loan"). During the year ended December 31, 2019, we made $24.7 million in scheduled principal repayments on the 2018 Term Loan.

On August 15, 2019, we refinanced the €284.4 million ($317.1 million) outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan with the proceeds of a new $600.0 million term loan, maturing on August 15, 2022.

Overdraft Facilities

We have overdraft facilities available that we use to support our cash management operations. The balance outstanding under the facilities was $2.0 million as of March 28, 2020. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facilities as of December 31, 2019.

Leases

We had $152.7 million and $158.2 million of lease liabilities and $151.9 million and $157.5 million of lease assets as of March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The total amount factored on a non-recourse basis and excluded from accounts receivable was $12.4 million and $10.0 million at March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

We are in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of March 28, 2020 (refer to Item 1. Note 9 and Note 10 for more information on all of the above lease activity and debt facilities, respectively).

Credit Ratings
    
Our credit ratings on March 28, 2020 were Baa3 (stable) and BBB- (stable) by Moody's Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings, respectively.

Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically and, therefore, the credit rating assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether current credit ratings will remain as disclosed above. Factors that can affect our credit ratings include changes in operating performance, the economic environment, our financial position, and changes in business strategy. If changes in our credit ratings were to occur, they could impact, among other things, future borrowing costs, access to capital markets, and vendor financing terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. We acquire and collaborate on potential products still in development and enter into R&D arrangements with third parties that often require milestone payments to the third-party contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Milestone payments may be required contingent upon the successful achievement of an important point in the development life cycle of the product. Because of the contingent nature of these payments, they are not included in our table of contractual obligations included in our 2019 Form 10-K and referred to below.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There were no material changes in contractual obligations as of March 28, 2020 from those provided in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies

Other than the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (refer to Item 1. Note 1) and ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (refer to Item 1. Note 6), there have been no material changes to the accounting policies disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The determination of certain amounts in our financial statements requires the use of estimates. These estimates are based upon our historical experiences combined with management’s understanding of current facts and circumstances. Although the estimates are considered reasonable based on the currently available information, actual results could differ from the estimates we have used. Below are the updates regarding critical accounting estimates which required judgment in the preparation of our financial statements during the three months ended March 28, 2020. The below disclosures should be read in conjunction with our 2019 Form 10-K.

Change in Financial Assets

We valued our contingent milestone payments from Royalty Pharma using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma until the contingent milestones are resolved. As of March 28, 2020, volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones had a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. Rate of return and the estimated fair value of the milestones had an inverse relationship, such that a lower rate of return correlates with a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties. The table below represents the volatility and rate of return:

 
Three Months Ended
 
March 28,
2020

2019
Volatility
35.0
%
 
30.0

Rate of return

%
 
8.02
%

We also consider Biogen’s quarterly Tysabri earnings along with forecasts from third party analysts in our royalty projections. In our estimation process as of March 28, 2020, we considered risks associated with COVID-19 on Tysabri sales in 2020, including but not limited to, the potential for disruptions and delays in dosing of Tysabri in physician office and hospital settings. We will continue monitoring Tysabri earnings and the development of COVID-19 impacts in our quarterly valuation assessment. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write off the $96.9 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $303.1 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

Goodwill

Goodwill represents amounts paid for an acquisition in excess of the fair value of net assets received. We have six reporting units subject to impairment testing annually, which we perform on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. We perform impairment testing more frequently if events suggest an impairment may exist. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on

56

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Unallocated, Interest, Other, and Taxes


projected future cash flows and market valuation multiples. The estimates associated with the goodwill impairment tests are considered critical due to the judgments required in determining fair value amounts, including projected future cash flows that include assumptions about future performance. The discount rates used in testing each of our reporting units’ goodwill for impairment during our interim and annual testing are based on the weighted average cost of capital determined for each of our reporting units.
    
The discounted cash flow forecasts used for our reporting units include assumptions about future activity levels in the near term and longer-term. If growth in our reporting units is lower than expected, we may experience deterioration in our cash flow forecasts that may indicate goodwill in one or more reporting units is impaired in future impairment tests. An increase in the discount rate could negatively impact the estimated fair value of the reporting units and lead to a future impairment. Certain macroeconomic factors which are not controlled by the reporting units, such as rising inflation or interest rates, could cause an increase in the discount rate to occur. Deterioration in performance of our reporting units, such as lower than expected revenue or profitability that has a sustained impact on future periods, could also represent potential indicators of impairment requiring further impairment analysis.

We reviewed our reporting units for impairment indicators during the three months ended March 28, 2020.  Our reporting units had strong financial performance in this period, and the current year results remained in line with our long-term projections as of March 28, 2020. We did not identify any events or changes related to COVID-19 or other circumstances that more likely than not reduced the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  We continue to monitor the progress of our reporting units and assess them for potential impairment should impairment indicators arise, as applicable, and at least annually during our fourth quarter impairment testing. 

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our quantitative or qualitative disclosures found in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," of our 2019 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 28, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC filings would be made known to them by others within those entities in a timely manner and that no changes are required at this time.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2020. The framework used in carrying out our evaluation was the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission. In evaluating our information technology controls, we also used components of the framework contained in the Control Objectives for Information and related Technology, which was developed by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association’s IT Governance Institute, as a complement to the COSO internal control framework. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 28, 2020. The results of management’s assessment have been reviewed with our Audit Committee.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 4
Controls and Procedures


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
    
We acquired Ranir during the third quarter of 2019 (refer to Item 1. Note 3). As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission Staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, management excluded Ranir from its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2020. We are in the process of documenting and testing Ranir’s internal controls over financial reporting. We will incorporate Ranir into our annual report on internal control over financial reporting for our year ending December 31, 2020. As of March 28, 2020, assets excluded from management’s assessment totaled $869.4 million. Ranir contributed $76.3 million of Net sales and $7.7 million of Operating income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 28, 2020.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. At the time of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were included in the Form 10-K, other than as described below.

Adverse Economic Impacts of Coronavirus Pandemic
    
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, as the new coronavirus, unknown to health officials just three months earlier, has spread rapidly from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. As the rate of infection continues to accelerate in many countries, attempts are being made to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, including quarantines, government restrictions on movement, business closures and suspensions, canceled events and activities, self-isolation, and other voluntary and/or mandated changes in behavior. Both the outbreak of the disease and the actions to slow its spread have had an adverse impact on our operations by, among other things, disrupting our manufacturing operations, affecting the supply of raw materials and third party supplied finished goods, and preventing many of our employees from coming to work. The Company has responded to such impacts by, among other things, implementing protocols to protect the health of factory workers, adjusting production schedules, and seeking alternate suppliers where available, and so far, most of our facilities have continued to produce at high levels despite these challenges. However, going forward, the outbreak of the disease and the actions to slow it could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, our supply chains and other operations, our results of our operations, consumer demand for our products and our ability to access capital. The magnitude of any such adverse impacts cannot currently be determined, but such adverse impacts could be material, depending on: the duration, intensity, and continued spread of the disease; the duration of business closure and similar government orders; the process by which government authorities permit businesses to reopen and employees to return to work; the scale and timing of any additional waves of the outbreak as restrictions on community movement are relaxed; the severity of any economic downturn resulting from the pandemic; the effectiveness of the Company's efforts at mitigation; and other factors, both known and unknown, many of which are likely to be outside our control. In addition, to the extent that any increased sales of our products during the initial stages of the outbreak may reflect "pantry stocking", consumer demand for such products in future periods may be correspondingly reduced.

2.3
Notice Periods

Your notice period is as stated in your individual contract of employment (e.g., a month for employee’s in Bands 1 to 3 or 3 months notice for employee’s at Associate Director or above). The Minimum Notice & Terms of Employment Act lays down statutory minimum periods of notice which are dependent on an employee’s length of service as follows:

Length of Service
Notice Period
13 weeks but less than 2 years
1 weeks notice
2 years but less than 5 years
2 weeks notice
5 years but less than 10 years
4 weeks notice
10 years but less than 15 years
6 weeks notice
15 years or more
8 weeks notice

You will be entitled to receive the higher of the two notice periods. For example, if you have 2 month’s notice under your contract of employment but have 5 years service with the Company you will be entitled to the 2 month’s notice.

Employees are expected to be available for and to work at a minimum 2 weeks of their notice period; however, the Company ultimately reserves the right to make payment in lieu of notice periods in full or part. Where an employee on their own request seeks an earlier release date and the Company agrees to facilitate this, no payments shall be made in lieu of notice period.

When monies are paid in lieu of notice the date of termination for Statutory Redundancy purposes is the date in which the minimum notice (identified in the above table), had it been given, would have expired. Notice required under the Redundancy Acts may run concurrently with other notice requirements.

WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL BENEFITS
The following list will advise eligible employees on how each Perrigo benefit will be treated. Please review the following details to ensure you fully understand the status of each benefit that may apply to you.

Please Note: Where these benefits continue for a period of time after you have left Perrigo payroll due to being paid in lieu of notice – existing benefits will remain in place until your termination of employment.


Pension (including AVCs)

Employer contributions to your pension fund will be paid up until the termination of your employment. In addition, employee contributions will also continue to be deducted from your payroll up until your termination date. Upon termination Mercer will send you out a withdrawal statement to your home address within a couple of weeks. This statement will outline all pension options available to you.

As your pension entitlement can impact your overall tax liability, with regard to any severance lump sum payment that you may receive, the Company will make arrangements for a representative of Mercer to be on site to provide you with information and advice on the options available to you. Prior to this meeting with Mercer, individual details will be submitted to Mercer to determine pension augmentation options and tax implications.


Life Assurance

You will continue to have Death in Service Benefit up until your termination date (inclusive of notice period). In addition, Perrigo has arranged to provide you with a special Death in Service Benefit for a period of 6 months from your termination date at the end which the extended cover will automatically lapse. This special Death in Service benefit cover will be based on your salary at the date of leaving and the level of cover will be four times your salary. Please note that where underwriting is in place and terms of cover are less than four times salary these terms will automatically be carried forward into this extended cover.

Once the six-month extended cover has been reached you have the option to continue part or all of your death benefit under the scheme however a Statement of Health form and/or medical examination will be required. This option remains available to you for one month after your leaving date. If you wish to continue part or all of your cover after this date, please discuss this with Mercer directly and they can arrange to prepare a quotation for you.

We strongly encourage you to ensure that alternative life cover is put in place before the extended period finishes.


Disability Benefit/ Permanent Health Insurance

You will have Disability Benefit cover up until your termination date (inclusive of notice period). After this period, your cover under the Perrigo plan will cease.


Health Insurance

Your current health insurance cover will remain in place up until your date of termination. If you are paying for your health insurance cover via payroll deduction, the cost of this cover up until your termination date will be deducted from your final payroll. In addition, any health insurance allowance being paid to you via payroll will cease as of your termination date. If you currently are not paying for health insurance cover via payroll deduction and instead are paying the health insurer directly please ensure that you submit a health insurance allowance claim form along with proof of payment immediately to HR or Payroll in order to claim for any health insurance allowance that may be due to you. This allowance would be processed in your final payroll (subject to applicable withholdings).

IRISHSEVERENCEPROGRAMIMAGE2A.JPG

REDUNDANCY TAXATION

The following is a general description of the Irish tax consequences of severance payments and is based on Irish tax law in effect at December 2019 This should not be construed as tax advice. The actual tax consequences of a severance payment will depend on an individual’s specific facts and circumstances and you should contact your own tax adviser in this regard.

Statutory redundancy and certain ex-gratia lump sums may be subject to favourable tax exemptions and reliefs on termination.

Severance packages generally form two parts – Statutory Redundancy and an additional ex-gratia payment that may be made available by an employer. Statutory redundancy payments are exempt from income tax, if due. The current tax rules relating to severance in excess of statutory redundancy are somewhat complex.

A brief summary of the main tax exemptions and reliefs available on the additional ex-gratia payment that an employer may provide are outlined below.

Employees may also be entitled to claim the highest of the following three tax exemptions, on the additional ex- gratia amount:

a)
Basic Exemption, or

b)
Increased Exemption, or

c)
Standard Capital Superannuation Benefit

The tax exemptions relevant to an individual are based on personal circumstances, for example years’ service in the employment, remuneration, pension entitlements. These tax exemptions are calculated using complete years’ service only. The date of termination for tax exemption purposes is the date that the employment actually ceases and the individual leaves the employment.

It should be noted that the total exemptions an employee can claim over their lifetime is capped at €200,000. The Increased Exemption is also restricted if the employee claimed any tax exemption other than the Basic Exemption in the last 10 years.

a)
Basic Exemption:

The basic exemption is €10,160 plus €765 for each complete year of service with the Company.

If we take the example of a person who joined the Company in December 2001 and leaves the Company in 2013, they would have 11 full years of service, so their basic exemption would be €10,160 plus €765 x 11 = €18,575.

b)
Increased Exemption:

The basic exemption of €10,160, plus €765 for each full year of service can be increased by a further €10,000. The increased exemption is only available to individuals who have not made any claims in respect of a lump sum received in the previous ten tax years.



9



IRISHSEVERENCEPROGRAMIMAGE2A.JPG


If you are a member of the Company pension scheme, the increased exemption of €10,000 is reduced by the amount of:

Any tax-free lump sum from the pension scheme to which you may be immediately entitled or
The present day value at the date of leaving employment of any tax-free lump sum which may be receivable from the pension scheme in the future.


Employees will have the option of waiving their entitlements to their tax-free lump sum from the Company pension scheme in order to avail of the full €10,000 increased exemption. A waiver form must be signed in this regard. If the lump sum from the pension scheme is more than €10,000 and you do not waive your entitlement to same, you are not due the increased exemption.

Revenue approval is required for the Increased Exemption.

c)
SCSB (Standard Capital Superannuation Benefit):

This relief generally applies to those employees who have high earnings and/or long service with the Company. The formula for calculating the SCSB is:
A X B / 15 - C

Where:

A is the average annual remuneration for the last 36 months service to the date of termination

B is the number of complete years of service

C is the value of any tax-free lump sum received/receivable under the Company approved pension scheme.

Because of the interaction of taxation and your pension it is important that you receive independent advice on this. The Company will engage the services of Mercer to provide you with guidance in this area.

2.
Your normal hours of work will be from 9.00am to 5.30pm. Perrigo reserves the right to alter your normal working hours. You may be required to work such additional time as may be required to complete your responsibilities. Such additional time will be unpaid.

If your continued employment is subject to Perrigo holding a valid work permit/work visa for you, in the event that the work permit/work visa is withdrawn, your employment will terminate immediately and without notice. It is your responsibility to inform Perrigo if you require a work permit/work visa or any other permission to work in Ireland and if and when such permission has been withdrawn.

4.

JIMDILLARDIRELANDEMPL_IMAGE2.JPG

employment and you will be given reasonable notice of any such change. Any change to your place of work will not give rise to an entitlement to a payment to you for disturbance.

8.
Either you or Perrigo may terminate this contract by giving three [3] month's notice in writing. Perrigo reserves the right to make a payment to you in lieu of any notice. In cases of misconduct, your employment may be terminated without notice.
