FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document contain information that includes or is based on “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, estimated future results of operations, estimates of future revenues, future expenses, future net income and future net income per share, as well as statements regarding future financing activities, the impact of the novel strain of coronavirus referred to as COVID-19 on the health and welfare of our employees and on our business, including any response to COVID-19 such as anticipated return to historical purchasing decisions by customers, the economic impact of COVID-19, changes in consumer spending, decisions to engage in certain medical procedures, future governmental orders that could impact our operations and the ability of our manufacturing facilities and suppliers to fulfill their obligations to us, and any other statements that refer to Endo’s expected, estimated or anticipated future results. We have tried, whenever possible, to identify such statements by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “will,” “may” or similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions and projections about the growth of our business, our financial performance and the development of our industry. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the risks related to the impact of COVID-19 (such as, without limitation, the scope and duration of the pandemic and the resulting economic crisis and levels of unemployment, governmental actions and restrictive measures implemented in response, material delays and cancellations of certain medical procedures, potential manufacturing and supply chain disruptions and other potential impacts to the business as a result of COVID-19) and the other risks and uncertainties more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this document and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2020 (the Annual Report). These risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any other risks and uncertainties that we are not currently able to predict or identify, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. Additionally, the prolonged impact of COVID-19 could heighten the impact of one or more of such risk factors.
We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements after the date of this document for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports filed with the SEC and with securities regulators in Canada on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval. Also note that, in Part II, Item 1A of this document and in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report, and as otherwise enumerated herein, we provide a cautionary discussion of the risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider this to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the amounts and disclosures in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, and elsewhere in this report. Uncertainties related to the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, the extent to which it will impact our estimated future financial results, worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, employment rates, consumer spending and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic have increased the complexity of developing these estimates, including the allowance for expected credit losses and the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, including as a result of COVID-19.
Significant Accounting Policies Added or Updated since December 31, 2019
Significant changes to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2019 are detailed below. For additional discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV, Item 15 of the Annual Report.
Accounts Receivable. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASC 326) on January 1, 2020. For further discussion of the adoption, refer to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted or Otherwise Effective as of March 31, 2020” section below. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 326, our accounts receivable balance is stated at amortized cost less an allowance for expected credit losses. In addition, our accounts receivable balance is reduced by certain sales deduction reserves where we have the right of offset with the customer. We generally do not require collateral.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Credit Losses. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and accounts receivable. From time to time, we invest our excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments maintained by major banks and financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses on our cash equivalents.
With respect to our accounts receivable, we have no history of significant losses. Approximately 89% and 88% of our gross trade accounts receivable balances represent amounts due from three customers (Cardinal Health, Inc., McKesson Corporation and AmerisourceBergen Corporation) at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of these and our other customers based on information available to us. We consider these and other factors, including changes in the composition and aging of our accounts receivable, in developing our allowance for expected credit losses. The estimated allowance was not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, nor were the changes to the allowance during any of the periods presented.

5


We do not currently expect our current or future exposures to credit losses to have a significant impact on us. However, our customers’ ability to pay us on a timely basis, or at all, could be affected by factors specific to their respective businesses and/or by economic conditions, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of which cannot be fully predicted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted or Otherwise Effective as of March 31, 2020
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13, together with a series of subsequently-issued related ASUs, has been codified in ASC 326. ASC 326 establishes new requirements for companies to estimate expected credit losses when measuring certain financial assets, including accounts receivables. The Company adopted ASC 326 using a modified retrospective approach with an effective date of January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Astora
The operating results of the Company’s Astora business, which the Company’s board of directors (the Board) resolved to wind-down in 2016, are reported as Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The following table provides the operating results of Astora Discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

The cash flows from discontinued operating activities related to Astora included the impact of net losses of $27.7 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the impact of cash activity related to vaginal mesh cases. There were no material net cash flows related to Astora discontinued investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There was no depreciation or amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 related to Astora.
NOTE 4. SEGMENT RESULTS
The Company’s four reportable business segments are Branded Pharmaceuticals, Sterile Injectables, Generic Pharmaceuticals and International Pharmaceuticals. These segments reflect the level at which the chief operating decision maker (CODM) regularly reviews financial information to assess performance and to make decisions about resources to be allocated. Each segment derives revenue from the sales or licensing of its respective products and is discussed in more detail below.
We evaluate segment performance based on segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax, which we define as Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax and before certain upfront and milestone payments to partners; acquisition-related and integration items, including transaction costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives such as separation benefits, continuity payments, other exit costs and certain costs associated with integrating an acquired company’s operations; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; litigation-related and other contingent matters; certain legal costs; gains or losses from early termination of debt; gains or losses from the sales of businesses and other assets; foreign currency gains or losses on intercompany financing arrangements; and certain other items. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company revised its definition of segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax to exclude certain legal costs in order to reflect changes in how the CODM reviews segment performance. The Company believes that such costs are not indicative of business performance and that excluding them more accurately reflects each segment’s results and better enables management to compare financial results between periods. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect this change. Specifically, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, certain legal costs of $16.3 million and $0.4 million have been excluded from our Branded Pharmaceuticals and Generic Pharmaceuticals segments, respectively, resulting in increases to the segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax for these segments. This change had no impact on our Total consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax.

6


Certain of the corporate expenses incurred by the Company are not directly attributable to any specific segment. Accordingly, these costs are not allocated to any of the Company’s segments and are included in the results below as “Corporate unallocated costs.” Interest income and expense are also considered corporate items and not allocated to any of the Company’s segments. The Company’s total segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax is equal to the combined results of each of its segments.
Branded Pharmaceuticals
Our Branded Pharmaceuticals segment includes a variety of branded prescription products to treat and manage conditions in urology, urologic oncology, endocrinology, pain and orthopedics. The products in this segment include XIAFLEX®, SUPPRELIN® LA, NASCOBAL® Nasal Spray, AVEED®, PERCOCET®, EDEX®, LIDODERM® and TESTOPEL®, among others.
Sterile Injectables
Our Sterile Injectables segment consists primarily of branded sterile injectable products such as VASOSTRICT®, ADRENALIN® and APLISOL®, among others, and certain generic sterile injectable products, including ertapenem for injection, the authorized generic of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.’s (Merck) Invanz®, and ephedrine sulfate injection, among others.
Generic Pharmaceuticals
Our Generic Pharmaceuticals segment consists of a differentiated product portfolio including solid oral extended-release, solid oral immediate-release, liquids, semi-solids, patches, powders, ophthalmics and sprays and includes products in the pain management, urology, central nervous system disorders, immunosuppression, oncology, women’s health and cardiovascular disease markets, among others.
International Pharmaceuticals
Our International Pharmaceuticals segment includes a variety of specialty pharmaceutical products sold outside the U.S., primarily in Canada through our operating company Paladin Labs Inc. (Paladin). The key products of this segment serve various therapeutic areas, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, pain, women’s health and oncology.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Instruments
The financial instruments recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds), restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equity method investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses, acquisition-related contingent consideration and debt obligations. Included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are money market funds representing a type of mutual fund required by law to invest in low-risk securities (for example, U.S. government bonds, U.S. Treasury Bills and commercial paper). Money market funds pay dividends that generally reflect short-term interest rates. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of non-restricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds), accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values.

(1)
These amounts are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Restricted cash and cash equivalents.
(2)
These amounts are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other assets.
(3)
Approximately $195.7 million and $242.8 million of our restricted cash and cash equivalents are held in Qualified Settlement Funds (QSFs) for mesh-related matters at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The remaining restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily relates to other litigation-related matters. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies for further information.
Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is determined using unobservable inputs; hence, these instruments represent Level 3 measurements within the above-defined fair value hierarchy. These inputs include the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, the probability of success (achievement of the contingent event) and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Subsequent to the acquisition date, at each reporting period, the contingent consideration liability is remeasured at current fair value with changes recorded in earnings. The estimates of fair value are uncertain and changes in any of the estimated inputs used as of the date of this report could have resulted in significant adjustments to fair value. See the “Recurring Fair Value Measurements” section below for additional information on acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Impairments
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our annual assessment is performed as of October 1.
As part of our goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments, we estimate the fair values of our reporting units and our intangible assets using an income approach that utilizes a discounted cash flow model or, where appropriate, a market approach.
The discounted cash flow models are dependent upon our estimates of future cash flows and other factors including estimates of (i) future operating performance, including future sales, long-term growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, variations in the amount and timing of cash flows and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows and (ii) future economic conditions. These assumptions are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The discount rates applied to the estimated cash flows are based on the overall risk associated with the particular assets and other market factors. We believe the discount rates and other inputs and assumptions are consistent with those that a market participant would use. Any impairment charges resulting from annual or interim goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments are recorded to Asset impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred the following goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges (in thousands):

Goodwill impairment charges

32,786

 
$

Other intangible asset impairment charges
$

$
78,700


Except as described below, pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charges related primarily to certain in-process research and development and/or developed technology intangible assets that were tested for impairment following changes in market conditions and certain other factors impacting recoverability.
As a result of certain business decisions that occurred during the first quarter of 2020, we tested the goodwill of our Paladin reporting unit for impairment as of March 31, 2020. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using an income approach that utilized a discounted cash flow model. The discount rate utilized in this test was 9.5%. This goodwill impairment test resulted in a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $32.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing the remaining carrying amount. This impairment was primarily attributable to portfolio decisions and updated market expectations during the quarter.
As a result of certain competitive events that occurred during the first quarter of 2019, we tested the goodwill of our Generic Pharmaceuticals reporting unit for impairment as of March 31, 2019. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using an income approach that utilized a discounted cash flow model. The discount rate utilized in this test was 10.5%. This goodwill impairment test resulted in a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $86.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing the excess of this reporting unit’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. This Generic Pharmaceuticals impairment can be primarily attributed to the impact of the competitive events referenced above and an increase in the discount rate used in the determination of fair value.
We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our business. It is possible that COVID-19 could result in reductions to the estimated fair values of our goodwill and other intangible assets, which could ultimately result in asset impairment charges that may be material.
NOTE 9. CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Our revenue consists almost entirely of sales of our pharmaceutical products to customers, whereby we ship products to a customer pursuant to a purchase order. Revenue contracts such as these do not generally give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities because: (i) the underlying contracts generally have only a single performance obligation and (ii) we do not generally receive consideration until the performance obligation is fully satisfied. At March 31, 2020, the unfulfilled performance obligations for these types of contracts relate to ordered but undelivered products. We generally expect to fulfill the performance obligations and recognize revenue within one week of entering into the underlying contract. Based on the short-term initial contract duration, additional disclosure about the remaining performance obligations is not required.
Certain of our other revenue-generating contracts, including license and collaboration agreements, may result in contract assets and/or contract liabilities. For example, we may recognize contract liabilities upon receipt of certain upfront and milestone payments from customers when there are remaining performance obligations.
The following table shows the opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (dollars in thousands):

At March 31, 2020, the entire contract asset amount is classified as a noncurrent asset and is included in Other assets. The net increase in contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the Company’s estimated consideration for the sale of certain intellectual property rights.
(2)
At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $1.4 million of these contract liability amounts are classified as current liabilities and are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as noncurrent and are included in Other liabilities. The decrease to contract liabilities was due to approximately $0.1 million in revenue recognized during the period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of $3.9 million relating to performance obligations satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods. Such revenue generally relates to changes in estimates with respect to our variable consideration.

The Company and its subsidiaries, with certain customary exceptions, guarantee or serve as issuers or borrowers of the debt instruments representing substantially all of the Company’s indebtedness at March 31, 2020. The obligations under (i) all of the senior secured notes and (ii) the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and related loan documents are secured on a pari passu basis by a perfected first priority (subject to certain permitted liens) lien on the collateral securing such instruments, which collateral represents substantially all of the assets of the issuers or borrowers and the guarantors party thereto (subject to customary exceptions). Our senior unsecured notes are unsecured and effectively subordinated in right of priority to the Credit Agreement and our senior secured notes, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such instruments.
The aggregate estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which was estimated using inputs based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt issuances, was $7.2 billion and $7.4 billion at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Based on this valuation methodology, we determined these debt instruments represent Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

16


Credit Facilities
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), which provides for (i) a $1,000.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and (ii) a senior secured term loan facility in an initial principal amount of $3,415.0 million (the Term Loan Facility and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities). Current amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities are set forth in the table above. After giving effect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and previously issued and outstanding letters of credit, approximately $696.8 million of remaining credit is available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s outstanding debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, including certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness.
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the indentures governing our various senior notes and senior secured notes.
Debt Financing Transactions
Set forth below are certain disclosures relating to debt financing transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.
March 2019 Refinancing
In March 2019, the Company executed certain transactions (the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions) that included:
entry into an amendment (the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment) to the Company’s existing credit agreement, which was originally dated April 27, 2017 (the amended credit agreement is described above under the heading “Credit Facilities”);
issuance of $1,500.0 million of 7.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes);
repurchase of $1,642.2 million aggregate principal amount ($1,624.0 million aggregate carrying amount) of certain of the Company’s senior unsecured notes for $1,500.0 million in cash, excluding accrued interest (the Notes Repurchases); and
solicitation of consents from the holders of the existing 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022 to certain amendments to the indentures governing such notes, which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other provisions contained in each such indenture.
The difference between the cash paid and the carrying amount of notes repurchased in the Notes Repurchases resulted in a $124.0 million gain. In connection with the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions, we also incurred costs and fees totaling $26.2 million, of which $4.2 million related to the Notes Repurchases, $19.1 million related to the 2027 Notes issuance and $2.9 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment. The costs incurred in connection with the Notes Repurchases were charged to expense in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded as a partial offset to the gain. The costs incurred in connection with the 2027 Notes issuance and the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment, together with previously deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility, have been deferred to be amortized as interest expense over the terms of the respective instruments. The net gain resulting from the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions was included in the Gain on extinguishment of debt line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
June 2019 Revolving Credit Facility Borrowing
In June 2019, the Company borrowed $300.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to be used for purposes consistent with the Company’s capital allocation priorities, including for general corporate purposes.
Maturities
The following table presents, as of March 31, 2020, the maturities on our long-term debt for each of the five fiscal years subsequent to December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

__________
(1)
Certain amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Facilities will immediately mature if certain of our senior notes are not refinanced or repaid in full prior to the date that is 91 days prior to the respective stated maturity dates thereof. Accordingly, we may seek to repay or refinance certain senior notes prior to their stated maturity dates. The amounts in this maturities table do not reflect any such early repayment or refinancing; rather, they reflect stated maturity dates.

17


(2)
Based on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility that were outstanding at March 31, 2020, $22.8 million will mature in 2022, with the remainder maturing in 2024.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings and Investigations
We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and internal and governmental investigations (collectively, proceedings) that arise from time to time, including, among others, those relating to product liability, intellectual property, regulatory compliance, consumer protection, tax and commercial matters. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings and we intend to vigorously prosecute or defend our position as appropriate, there can be no assurance that we will be successful or obtain any requested relief. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Matters that are not being disclosed herein are, in the opinion of our management, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If and when such matters, in the opinion of our management, become material, either individually or in the aggregate, we will disclose them.
We believe that certain settlements and judgments, as well as legal defense costs, relating to certain product liability or other matters are or may be covered in whole or in part under our insurance policies with a number of insurance carriers. In certain circumstances, insurance carriers reserve their rights to contest or deny coverage. We intend to contest vigorously any disputes with our insurance carriers and to enforce our rights under the terms of our insurance policies. Accordingly, we will record receivables with respect to amounts due under these policies only when the realization of the potential claim for recovery is considered probable. Amounts recovered under our insurance policies could be materially less than stated coverage limits and may not be adequate to cover damages, other relief and/or costs relating to claims. In addition, there is no guarantee that insurers will pay claims or that coverage will otherwise be available. See the risk factor “We may not have and may be unable to obtain or maintain insurance adequate to cover potential liabilities” in the Annual Report for more information.
As of March 31, 2020, our accrual for loss contingencies totaled $442.2 million, the most significant components of which relate to product liability and related matters associated with transvaginal surgical mesh products, which we have not sold since March 2016. Although we believe there is a reasonable possibility that a loss in excess of the amount recognized exists, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amount recognized at this time. While the timing of the resolution of certain of the matters accrued for as loss contingencies remains uncertain and could extend beyond 12 months, as of March 31, 2020, the entire liability accrual amount is classified in the Current portion of legal settlement accrual in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Product Liability and Related Matters
We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in numerous lawsuits in various U.S. federal and state courts, and in Canada, Australia and other countries, alleging personal injury resulting from the use of certain products of our subsidiaries, including the product liability and other related matters described below in more detail.
Vaginal Mesh. Since 2008, we and certain of our subsidiaries, including American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc. (AMS) (subsequently converted to Astora Women’s Health Holding LLC and merged into Astora Women’s Health LLC and referred to herein as AMS and/or Astora), have been named as defendants in multiple lawsuits in various state and federal courts in the U.S. (including a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia), and in Canada, Australia and other countries, alleging personal injury resulting from the use of transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Our subsidiaries have not sold such products since March 2016. Plaintiffs claim a variety of personal injuries, including chronic pain, incontinence, inability to control bowel function and permanent deformities, and seek compensatory and punitive damages, where available.
Various Master Settlement Agreements (MSAs) and other agreements have resolved up to approximately 71,000 filed and unfiled U.S. mesh claims. These MSAs and other agreements were entered into at various times between June 2013 and the present, were solely by way of compromise and settlement and were not in any way an admission of liability or fault by us or any of our subsidiaries. All MSAs are subject to a process that includes guidelines and procedures for administering the settlements and the release of funds. In certain cases, the MSAs provide for the creation of QSFs into which the settlement funds will be deposited, establish participation requirements and allow for a reduction of the total settlement payment in the event participation thresholds are not met. Funds deposited in QSFs are considered restricted cash and/or restricted cash equivalents. Distribution of funds to any individual claimant is conditioned upon the receipt of documentation substantiating product use, the dismissal of any lawsuit and the release of the claim as to us and all affiliates. Prior to receiving funds, an individual claimant must represent and warrant that liens, assignment rights or other claims identified in the claims administration process have been or will be satisfied by the individual claimant. Confidentiality provisions apply to the settlement funds, amounts allocated to individual claimants and other terms of the agreement.

In October 2019, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved a class action settlement covering unresolved claims by Canadian women implanted with an AMS vaginal mesh device. Astora funded the settlement in February 2020.

Amounts deposited in the QSFs may earn interest, which is generally used to pay administrative costs of the fund and is reflected in the table above as an increase to the QSF and Mesh Liability Accrual balances. Any interest remaining after all claims have been paid will generally be distributed to the claimants who participated in that settlement. Also included within this line are foreign currency adjustments for settlements not denominated in U.S. dollars.
Charges related to vaginal mesh liability and associated legal fees and other expenses for all periods presented are reported in Discontinued operations, net of tax in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has made total cumulative mesh liability payments of approximately $3.6 billion, $195.7 million of which remains in the QSFs as of March 31, 2020. We currently expect to fund the remaining payments under all previously executed settlement agreements into the QSFs during 2020. As the funds are disbursed out of the QSFs from time to time, the liability accrual will be reduced accordingly with a corresponding reduction to restricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we may pay cash distributions to settle disputes separate from the QSFs, which will also decrease the liability accrual and decrease cash and cash equivalents.
We were contacted in October 2012 regarding a civil investigation initiated by various U.S. state attorneys general into mesh products, including transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat POP and SUI. In November 2013, we received a subpoena relating to this investigation from the state of California, and we have subsequently received additional subpoenas from California and other states. We are cooperating with the investigations.
The MDL court has been remanding MDL cases to their districts of origin for further proceedings. Other cases are proceeding in various state and federal courts. The earliest trial is currently scheduled for August 2020; however, trials may occur earlier or later as timing remains uncertain due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors. We will continue to vigorously defend any unresolved claims and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any additional losses that could be incurred.
Although the Company believes it has appropriately estimated the probable total amount of loss associated with all mesh-related matters as of the date of this report, litigation is ongoing in certain cases that have not settled, and it is reasonably possible that further claims may be filed or asserted and that adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Opioid-Related Matters
Since 2014, multiple U.S. states as well as other governmental persons or entities and private plaintiffs in the U.S. and Canada have filed suit against us and/or certain of our subsidiaries, including Endo Health Solutions Inc. (EHSI), Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (EPI), Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (PPI), Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. (PPCI), Endo Generics Holdings, Inc. (EGHI), Vintage Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Generics Bidco I, LLC and DAVA Pharmaceuticals, LLC, and in Canada, Paladin, as well as various other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and/or others, asserting claims relating to defendants’ alleged sales, marketing and/or distribution practices with respect to prescription opioid medications, including certain of our products. As of April 30, 2020, filed cases in the U.S. of which we were aware include, but are not limited to, approximately 20 cases filed by or on behalf of states; approximately 2,780 cases filed by counties, cities, Native American tribes and/or other government-related persons or entities; approximately 280 cases filed by hospitals, health systems, unions, health and welfare funds or other third-party payers and approximately 160 cases filed by individuals. Certain of the cases have been filed as putative class actions. The Canadian cases include an action filed by British Columbia on behalf of a proposed class of all federal, provincial and territorial governments and agencies in Canada that paid healthcare, pharmaceutical and treatment costs related to opioids, as well as three additional putative class actions, filed in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, seeking relief on behalf of Canadian residents who were prescribed and/or consumed opioid medications.

Many of the U.S. cases have been coordinated in a federal MDL pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Other cases are pending in various federal or state courts. The cases are at various stages. The first MDL trial, relating to the claims of two Ohio counties (Track One plaintiffs), was set for October 2019 but did not go forward after most defendants settled. EPI, EHSI, PPI and PPCI executed a settlement agreement with the Track One plaintiffs in September 2019 which provided for payments totaling $10 million and up to $1 million of VASOSTRICT® and/or ADRENALIN®. Under the settlement agreement, the Track One plaintiffs may be entitled to additional payments in the event of a comprehensive resolution of government-related opioid claims. The settlement agreement was solely by way of compromise and settlement and was not in any way an admission of liability or fault by us or any of our subsidiaries. The earliest trial is currently scheduled for August 2020; however, trials may occur earlier or later as timing remains uncertain due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors. Most cases remain at the pleading and/or discovery stage.
The complaints in the cases assert a variety of claims, including but not limited to statutory claims asserting violations of public nuisance, consumer protection, unfair trade practices, racketeering, Medicaid fraud and/or drug dealer liability laws and/or common law claims for public nuisance, fraud/misrepresentation, strict liability, negligence and/or unjust enrichment. The claims are generally based on alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions in connection with the sale and marketing of prescription opioid medications and/or alleged failures to take adequate steps to identify and report suspicious orders and to prevent abuse and diversion. Plaintiffs have generally sought various remedies including, without limitation, declaratory and/or injunctive relief; compensatory, punitive and/or treble damages; restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, abatement, attorneys’ fees, costs and/or other relief.
We will continue to vigorously defend the foregoing matters and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to the lawsuits described above, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have received certain subpoenas, civil investigative demands (CIDs) and informal requests for information concerning the sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications, including the following:
Various state attorneys general have served subpoenas and/or CIDs on EHSI and/or EPI. We are cooperating with the investigations.
In January 2018, EPI received a federal grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking documents and information related to OPANA® ER, other oxymorphone products and marketing of opioid medications. We are cooperating with the investigation.
In September 2019, EPI, EHSI, PPI and PPCI received subpoenas from the New York State Department of Financial Services seeking documents and information regarding the marketing, sale and distribution of opioid medications in New York. We are providing information responsive to these subpoenas.
Similar investigations may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded or result in litigation. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In January 2020, EPI and PPI executed a settlement agreement with the state of Oklahoma providing for a payment of approximately $8.75 million in resolution of potential opioid-related claims. The settlement agreement was solely by way of compromise and settlement and was not in any way an admission of liability or fault by us or any of our subsidiaries.
Generic Drug Pricing Matters
Since March 2016, various private plaintiffs and state attorneys general have filed cases against our subsidiary PPI and/or, in some instances, the Company, Generics Bidco I, LLC, DAVA Pharmaceuticals, LLC, EPI, EHSI and/or PPCI, as well as other pharmaceutical manufacturers and, in some instances, other corporate and/or individual defendants, alleging price-fixing and other anticompetitive conduct with respect to generic pharmaceutical products. These cases, which include proposed class actions filed on behalf of direct purchasers, end-payers and indirect purchaser resellers, as well as non-class action suits, have generally been consolidated and/or coordinated for pretrial proceedings in a federal MDL pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The various complaints and amended complaints generally assert claims under federal and/or state antitrust law, state consumer protection statutes and/or state common law, and seek damages, treble damages, civil penalties, disgorgement, declaratory and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. Some claims are based on alleged product-specific conspiracies and other claims allege broader, multiple-product conspiracies. Under these overarching conspiracy theories, plaintiffs seek to hold all alleged participants in a particular conspiracy jointly and severally liable for all harms caused by the alleged conspiracy, not just harms related to the products manufactured and/or sold by a particular defendant.

The MDL court has issued various case management and substantive orders, including orders denying certain motions to dismiss, and discovery is ongoing.
We will continue to vigorously defend the foregoing matters and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2014, our subsidiary PPI received from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania addressed to “Par Pharmaceuticals.” The subpoena requested documents and information focused primarily on product and pricing information relating to the authorized generic version of Lanoxin (digoxin) oral tablets and generic doxycycline products, and on communications with competitors and others regarding those products. We are cooperating with the investigation.
In May 2018, we and our subsidiary PPCI each received a CID from the DOJ in relation to a False Claims Act investigation concerning whether generic pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in price-fixing and market allocation agreements, paid illegal remuneration and caused the submission of false claims. We are cooperating with the investigation.
Similar investigations may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded or result in litigation. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Other Antitrust Matters
Beginning in November 2013, multiple alleged purchasers of LIDODERM® sued our subsidiary EPI and other pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of antitrust law arising out of their settlement of certain patent infringement litigation. The various complaints asserted claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, state antitrust and consumer protection statutes and/or state common law and sought damages, treble damages, disgorgement of profits, restitution, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. These cases were consolidated and/or coordinated in a federal MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The last cases remaining in the MDL were dismissed with prejudice in September 2018, when the court approved EPI’s settlements with direct and indirect purchaser classes. Those settlement agreements provided for aggregate payments of approximately $100 million. Of this total, EPI paid approximately $60 million in 2018, $30 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $10 million in the first quarter of 2020. In September 2019, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network of Michigan filed a complaint against EPI and other pharmaceutical companies in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, Wayne County, Michigan, asserting claims substantially similar to those asserted in the MDL. In October 2019, certain defendants removed the case to federal court; in April 2020, the case was remanded back to state court.
Beginning in June 2014, multiple alleged purchasers of OPANA® ER sued our subsidiaries EHSI and EPI and other pharmaceutical companies including Impax Laboratories, LLC (formerly Impax Laboratories, Inc. and referred to herein as Impax) and Penwest Pharmaceuticals Co., which our subsidiary EPI had acquired, alleging violations of antitrust law arising out of an agreement reached by EPI and Impax to settle certain patent infringement litigation and EPI’s introduction of reformulated OPANA® ER. Some cases were filed on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers, while others were filed on behalf of individual retailers or health care benefit plans. The cases have been consolidated and/or coordinated for pretrial proceedings in a federal MDL pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The various complaints assert claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, state antitrust and consumer protection statutes and/or state common law. Plaintiffs generally seek damages, treble damages, disgorgement of profits, restitution, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In March 2019, direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed motions for class certification, which remain pending. In April 2020, defendants filed motions for summary judgment.

21


Beginning in February 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and certain private plaintiffs sued our subsidiaries PPCI (since June 2016, EGHI) and/or PPI as well as other pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of antitrust law arising out of the settlement of certain patent litigation concerning the generic version of AndroGel® and seeking damages, treble damages, equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. The cases were consolidated and/or coordinated for pretrial proceedings in a federal MDL pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. In May 2016, plaintiffs representing a putative class of indirect purchasers voluntarily dismissed their claims with prejudice. In February 2017, the FTC voluntarily dismissed its claims against EGHI with prejudice. In June 2018, the MDL court granted in part and denied in part various summary judgment and evidentiary motions filed by defendants. In particular, among other things, the court rejected two of the remaining plaintiffs’ causation theories and rejected damages claims related to AndroGel® 1.62%. In July 2018, the court denied certain plaintiffs’ motion for certification of a direct purchaser class. In November 2019, PPI and PPCI entered into settlement agreements with all but one of the remaining plaintiffs in the MDL. The settlement agreements were solely by way of compromise and settlement and were not in any way an admission of liability or fault. Separately, in August 2019, several alleged direct purchasers filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania asserting claims substantially similar to those asserted in the MDL, as well as additional claims against other defendants relating to other alleged conduct. In January 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denied defendants’ motion to transfer venue to the Northern District of Georgia.
Beginning in February 2018, several alleged indirect purchasers filed proposed class actions against our subsidiary PPI and other pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of antitrust law arising out of the settlement of certain patent litigation concerning the generic version of Zetia® (ezetimibe). The various complaints asserted claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, state antitrust and consumer protection statutes and/or state common law and sought injunctive relief, damages, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. In June 2018, these and other related cases, including proposed direct purchaser class actions in which PPI was not named as a defendant, were consolidated and/or coordinated for pretrial proceedings in a federal MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In September 2018, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs dismissed their claims against PPI without prejudice. In June and July 2019, the MDL court granted the direct purchaser plaintiffs and certain retailer plaintiffs leave to file amended complaints adding PPI as a defendant. In July 2019, PPI entered into settlement agreements with both the direct purchaser plaintiffs and the retailer plaintiffs. The direct purchaser settlement was subject to court approval, which was granted in March 2020. The settlement agreements were solely by way of compromise and settlement, were not in any way an admission of liability or fault and involved no monetary payment.
Beginning in May 2018, multiple complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against PPI, EPI and/or us, as well as other pharmaceutical companies, alleging violations of antitrust law arising out of the settlement of certain patent litigation concerning the generic version of Exforge® (amlodipine/valsartan). Some cases were filed on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers; others are non-class action suits. The various complaints assert claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, state antitrust and consumer protection statutes and/or state common law. Plaintiffs generally seek damages, treble damages, equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. In September 2018, the putative class plaintiffs stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of their claims against EPI and us, and the retailer plaintiffs later did the same. PPI filed a partial motion to dismiss certain claims in September 2018, which was granted in August 2019. The cases are currently in discovery.
Beginning in August 2019, multiple complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against PPI and other pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of antitrust law arising out the settlement of certain patent litigation concerning generic versions of Seroquel XR® (extended release quetiapine fumarate). The claims against PPI are based on allegations that PPI entered into an exclusive acquisition and license agreement with Handa Pharmaceuticals, LLC (Handa) in 2012 pursuant to which Handa assigned to PPI certain rights under a prior settlement agreement between Handa and AstraZeneca resolving certain patent litigation. Some cases were filed on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers; others are non-class action suits. The various complaints assert claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, state antitrust and consumer protection statutes and/or state common law. Plaintiffs generally seek damages, treble damages, equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. In October 2019, the defendants filed various motions to dismiss and, in the alternative, moved to transfer the litigation to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
To the extent unresolved, we will continue to vigorously defend the foregoing matters and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2015, EGHI and affiliates received a CID from the Office of the Attorney General for the state of Alaska seeking documents and information regarding EGHI’s settlement of AndroGel® patent litigation as well as documents produced in the aforementioned litigation filed by the FTC. Also in February 2015, EHSI received a CID from Alaska’s Office of the Attorney General seeking production of certain documents and information concerning agreements with Actavis and Impax settling OPANA® ER patent litigation. We are cooperating with the investigations.
In July 2019, EPI received a CID from the FTC seeking documents and information regarding oxymorphone ER and EPI’s settlement of a contract dispute with Impax (now Amneal) in August 2017. We are cooperating with the investigation.

Similar investigations may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded or result in litigation. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any additional losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Securities Litigation
In February 2017, a putative class action entitled Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi v. Endo International plc was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania by an institutional purchaser of shares in our June 2, 2015 public offering. The complaint alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 against us, certain of our current and former directors and officers, and the underwriters who participated in the offering, based on certain disclosures about Endo’s generics business. In June 2019, the parties entered into a settlement providing for, among other things, a $50 million payment to the investor class in exchange for a release of their claims. In December 2019, the court denied a petition to intervene filed by the lead plaintiff in the Pelletier litigation described below, and granted final approval of the settlement. In December 2019, the putative intervenor appealed the denial of its petition to intervene and the final approval order to Pennsylvania Superior Court. That appeal remains pending. As a result of the settlement, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an increase of approximately $50 million to its accrual for loss contingencies. As the Company’s insurers agreed to fund the settlement, the Company also recorded a corresponding insurance receivable of approximately $50 million during the first quarter of 2019, which was recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s insurers funded the settlement during the third quarter of 2019, resulting in corresponding decreases to the Company’s accrual for loss contingencies and insurance receivable.
In April 2017, a putative class action entitled Phaedra A. Makris v. Endo International plc, Rajiv Kanishka Liyanaarchchie de Silva and Suketu P. Upadhyay was filed in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada by an individual shareholder on behalf of herself and similarly-situated Canadian-based investors who purchased Endo’s securities between January 11 and May 5, 2016. The statement of claim sought class certification, declaratory relief, damages, interest and costs based on alleged violations of the Ontario Securities Act arising out of alleged negligent misrepresentations concerning the Company’s revenues, profit margins and earnings per share; its receipt of a subpoena from the state of Connecticut regarding doxycycline hyclate, amitriptyline hydrochloride, doxazosin mesylate, methotrexate sodium and oxybutynin chloride; and the erosion of the Company’s U.S. generic pharmaceuticals business. In January 2019, plaintiff amended her statement of claim to add a claim on behalf of herself and similarly-situated Canadian investors who purchased Endo’s securities between January 11, 2016 and June 8, 2017, based on our decision to voluntarily remove reformulated OPANA® ER from the market. In April 2020, the parties reached a settlement in principle, which will be subject to court approval. The amount of the settlement is not material to the Company and is expected to be funded by the Company’s insurers.
In November 2017, a putative class action entitled Pelletier v. Endo International plc, Rajiv Kanishka Liyanaarchchie De Silva, Suketu P. Upadhyay and Paul V. Campanelli was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by an individual shareholder on behalf of himself and all similarly situated shareholders. The lawsuit alleges violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act relating to the pricing of various generic pharmaceutical products. In June 2018, the court appointed Park Employees’ and Retirement Board Employees’ Annuity Benefit Fund of Chicago lead plaintiff in the action. In September 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted in part and denied in part in February 2020. In particular, the court granted the motion and dismissed the claims with prejudice insofar as they were based on an alleged price-fixing conspiracy; the court otherwise denied the motion to dismiss, allowing other aspects of lead plaintiff’s claims to proceed.
To the extent unresolved, we will continue to vigorously defend the foregoing matters and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
VASOSTRICT® Related Matters
In July 2016, Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC (Fresenius) sued our subsidiaries PPCI and Par Sterile Products, LLC (PSP LLC) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging an anticompetitive scheme to exclude competition for PPCI’s VASOSTRICT®, a vasopressin-based cardiopulmonary drug. In particular, Fresenius alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, as well as state antitrust and common law, based on assertions that our subsidiaries entered into exclusive supply agreements with one or more active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturers and that, as a result, Fresenius could not obtain vasopressin API in order to file an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its own vasopressin product. Fresenius sought actual, treble and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and injunctive relief. In February 2020, the court granted our subsidiaries’ motion for summary judgment on all claims and denied Fresenius’s cross-motion for partial summary judgment. In March 2020, Fresenius filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

23


In August 2017, our subsidiaries PPI and PSP LLC filed a complaint for actual, exemplary and punitive damages, injunctive relief and other relief against QuVa Pharma, Inc. (QuVa), Stuart Hinchen, Peter Jenkins and Mike Rutkowski in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges misappropriation in violation of the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, New Jersey’s Trade Secrets Act and New Jersey common law, as well as unfair competition, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the duty of loyalty, tortious interference with contractual relations and breach of the duty of confidence in connection with VASOSTRICT®. In November 2017, we filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking various forms of relief. In March 2018, the court granted in part our motion for preliminary injunction and enjoined QuVa from marketing and releasing its planned vasopressin product through the conclusion of trial. We subsequently deposited a bond to the court’s interest-bearing account to secure the preliminary injunction. In May 2018, defendants filed a notice of appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals indicating intent to appeal the court’s preliminary injunction. In February 2019, the defendants filed counterclaims for defamation, tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relations and witness interference. The counterclaims seek actual, exemplary and punitive damages and other relief. In March 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss all of the defendants’ counterclaims. In April 2019, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the court’s preliminary injunction but remanded for additional fact-finding concerning the duration of the preliminary injunction and, if needed, consideration of the additional trade secrets raised in our motion for preliminary injunction but not addressed by the preliminary injunction order. In September 2019, following the decision in Athenex Inc. v. Azar, No. 19-cv-00603, 2019 WL 3501811 (D.D.C. Aug. 1, 2019), which upheld the FDA’s determination that there is no clinical need for outsourcing facilities to compound drugs using bulk vasopressin, the parties submitted a proposed consent order to the district court agreeing to a lifting of the preliminary injunction against QuVa but reserving PPI and PSP LLC’s right to seek return or reduction of the bond. In January 2020, the court granted our motion to dismiss the defendants’ counterclaims and ordered the preliminary injunction lifted while the bond remains in place pending an adjudication on the merits. In March 2020, we filed a motion for partial summary judgment on the merits of PPI and PSP LLC’s breach of contract claims.
Beginning in April 2018, PSP LLC and PPI received notice letters from Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Inc., Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, American Regent, Fresenius, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Aurobindo Pharma Limited advising of the filing by such companies of ANDAs/New Drug Applications (NDAs) for generic versions of VASOSTRICT® (vasopressin IV solution (infusion)) 20 units/ml and/or 200 units/10 ml. Beginning in May 2018, PSP LLC, PPI and Endo Par Innovation Company, LLC filed lawsuits against Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Inc., Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, American Regent and Fresenius in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or New Jersey within the 45-day deadline to invoke a 30-month stay of FDA approval pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman legislative scheme. The earliest trial is presently scheduled for January 2021; however, a trial may occur earlier or later as timing remains uncertain due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors.
We will continue to vigorously defend or prosecute the foregoing matters as appropriate, to protect our intellectual property rights, to pursue all available legal and regulatory avenues and to explore other options as appropriate in our best interests. Similar matters may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to estimate the possible range of any additional losses that could be incurred. Adjustments to our overall liability accrual may be required in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Other Proceedings and Investigations
Proceedings similar to those described above may also be brought in the future. Additionally, we are involved in, or have been involved in, arbitrations or various other proceedings that arise from the normal course of our business. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of these other proceedings. Currently, neither we nor our subsidiaries are involved in any other proceedings that we expect to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 13. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no tax effects allocated to any component of Other comprehensive (loss) income and there were no reclassifications out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Substantially all of the Company’s Accumulated other comprehensive loss balances at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consist of Foreign currency translation loss.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to the discrete tax benefit arising from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), as discussed below. As of March 31, 2020, we had valuation allowances established against our deferred tax assets in most jurisdictions in which we operate, with the exception of Canada and India. The income tax expense for the comparable 2019 period primarily relates to a taxable gain arising from the extinguishment of debt in the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted by the U.S. government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company has recorded a discrete tax benefit in continuing operations of $137.3 million as a result of the change in the NOL carryback period.

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and, if there is net income from continuing operations during the period, the dilutive effect of ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period.
The dilutive effect of ordinary share equivalents is measured using the treasury stock method. Stock options and awards that have been issued but for which a grant date has not yet been established are not considered in the calculation of basic or diluted weighted average shares.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, aggregate stock options and stock awards of 7.2 million and 3.3 million, respectively, were excluded from the diluted share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. All potentially dilutive items were excluded from the diluted share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive as the Company was in a loss position.
Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and critical accounting estimates of Endo International plc. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto and the Annual Report. The Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial and operating results. Except for the historical information contained in this report, including the following discussion, this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page i of this report.
Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, references throughout to “Endo,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Endo International plc and its subsidiaries.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate. These fluctuations are primarily due to (1) the timing of new product launches, (2) purchasing patterns of our customers, (3) market acceptance of our products, (4) the impact of competitive products and products we recently acquired, (5) pricing of our products, (6) the timing of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other related activity and (7) other actions taken by the Company which may impact the availability of our products. These fluctuations are also attributable to charges incurred for compensation related to share-based payments, amortization of intangible assets, asset impairment charges, litigation-related charges, restructuring charges and certain upfront, milestone and other payments made or accrued pursuant to acquisition or licensing agreements.
Additionally, as further described below, the impact on our results of COVID-19 and related changes in economic conditions, including changes to consumer spending resulting from the rapid rise in local and national unemployment rates, are highly uncertain and, in many instances, outside of our control. The duration and severity of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 are evolving rapidly and in ways that are difficult to anticipate. There are numerous uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted our ability to forecast our future operations. The extent to which COVID-19 will affect our business, financial position and operating results cannot be predicted with certainty; however, any such impact could be material. In addition, because COVID-19 did not begin to affect our financial results until late in the first quarter of 2020, its impact on our consolidated results and the results of our business segments in the first quarter of 2020 may not be directly comparable to any historical period and are not necessarily indicative of its impact on our results for the remainder of 2020 or any subsequent periods. COVID-19 could also increase the degree to which our quarterly results, including the results of our business segments, fluctuate in the future. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this report for further details.

COVID-19 Update and Other Key Trends
In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Many countries and localities have announced aggressive actions to reduce the spread of the disease, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, suspending all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing shelter-in-place orders (subject to limited exceptions). We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, the pharmaceutical industry and the economy as a whole, including how it has and will continue to impact our workforce, our customers and the patients they serve, our manufacturing and supply chain operations, our research and development (R&D) programs and regulatory approval processes and our liquidity and access to capital. In addition to our existing business continuity plans, we have established a team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer and our executive leadership team, which has developed and implemented a range of proactive measures to address the risks, uncertainties and operational challenges associated with COVID-19. This team is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation and is implementing plans intended to limit the impact of COVID-19 on our business so that we can continue to produce the critical care medicines that hospitals and healthcare providers need to treat patients, including those with COVID-19. Actions we have taken to date and expected key trends are further described below.
Workforce. We have taken, and will continue to take, proactive measures to provide for the well-being of our workforce around the globe while continuing to safely produce products upon which patients and their healthcare providers rely. In addition to employing and paying full wages to our workforce, we are providing additional compensation to certain of our on-site operations employees for the hours worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have implemented alternative working practices and mandatory work-from-home requirements for appropriate employees, inclusive of our executive leadership team. We have suspended international and domestic travel, increased our already-thorough cleaning protocols throughout our facilities and prohibited non-essential visitors from our sites. We have also implemented various social distancing, modified schedules, shift rotation and other similar policies at our manufacturing facilities. Certain of these measures have resulted in increased and unexpected costs and, as further described below, resulted in the prioritization of certain products in our production plans.
Customers and the Patients They Serve. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, changes in customer demand as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant increase in sales volumes for certain of our critical care products administered to patients infected with COVID-19, such as VASOSTRICT®, ADRENALIN® and albuterol sulfate HFA inhaler, the authorized generic of Merck’s Proventil®. These higher volumes resulted from increased utilization and channel inventory stocking of these products, primarily to treat patients infected with COVID-19. Other products not used to treat COVID-19, such as everolimus tablets, a generic version of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation’s Afinitor®, have also experienced increased demand due to accelerated prescription fulfillment that we believe is a result of concerns of healthcare providers and consumers regarding their ability to access medications because of shelter-in-place and similar measures taken by governments. At the same time, certain products that are physician administered, including XIAFLEX® and SUPPRELIN® LA, began experiencing decreased demand during the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020 due to a reduction in physician activity and a slowing of patient office visits resulting from shelter-in-place orders. Additionally, as a result of our work-from-home requirements, we have transitioned to a “virtual” engagement model to continue supporting healthcare professionals, patient care and access to medicines.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Operations. As of the date of this report, our business has not experienced any material supply issues related to COVID-19 and our manufacturing and quality assurance facilities across the globe have continued to operate. We have taken, and plan to continue to take, commercially practical measures to keep these facilities open as they are critical to our ability to reliably supply required critical care and medically necessary products. These measures, including the implementation of social distancing, modified schedules, shift rotation and other similar policies at our manufacturing facilities, as well as changes in our workforce availability have impacted our manufacturing and supply chain productivity at certain of our facilities and resulted in the prioritization of certain products, such as VASOSTRICT®, in our production plans to provide for their continued availability during and after the pandemic. We believe that our diversified manufacturing footprint, which includes a combination of Endo owned and leased facilities located in the U.S. and India, supply agreements and strong business relationships with numerous contract manufacturing organizations throughout the world, including in the U.S., Canada, Europe and India, and our proven ability to be a preferred partner of choice to large pharmaceutical companies seeking authorized generic distributors for their branded products, is a critical factor to mitigate significant risks related to manufacturing and supply chain disruption. This footprint, overseen by our global quality and supply chain teams in Ireland, combined with a skilled management team with significant experience in manufacturing and supply chain operations, has enabled us to respond quickly and effectively to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic to date.

28


Clinical and Development Programs. We have a number of ongoing clinical trials. We are committed to the safety of our patients, employees and others involved in these trials. We are monitoring COVID-19 closely and continue to partner with the FDA on our ongoing clinical trials, regulatory applications and other R&D activities. Based on an assessment of our R&D programs, including our clinical trials, we have developed a plan and timeline for each study in order to enhance communication with patients, sites and vendors. However, we may experience delays in some of our clinical trials and product development and commercialization programs, including obtaining adequate patient enrollment, receiving regulatory approvals and successfully bringing product candidates to market. For example, as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on medical aesthetics physician office closures and consumer spending, we are planning on changing the anticipated product launch of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of cellulite in the buttocks, if approved, to 2021.
Key Trends. Although we did not experience significant disruptions to our business during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from COVID-19, we have since experienced and expect that we, and our industry as a whole, will continue to experience a greater impact going forward. The most significant trends we face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic include: (i) decreases in demand for certain of our physician administered products due to physician office closures and a decline in patients electing to be treated, (ii) potential temporary decreases to the supply of certain of our products due to modified production schedules to safely maintain operations in response to COVID-19 and other factors including, without limitation, workforce availability, (iii) potential idle capacity charges based on implementation of social distancing, modified schedules, shift rotation and other similar policies at our manufacturing facilities and (iv) potential delays in our ability to launch some new products due to production prioritization and economic conditions and other factors outside of our control. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.
Our estimated revenue trends for the full year 2020 compared to the full year 2019 are set forth below. These estimated revenue trends reflect the current expectations of our management team based on information currently available to them. Our estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated below, including our assumptions about the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the impact of any related governmental, business or other actions, any of which could cause the impact of COVID-19 to be more significant than our current expectations.
For the full year 2020, we expect increased revenues from our Sterile Injectables segment as compared to 2019, primarily driven by increased sales of VASOSTRICT®. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant increase in sales volumes for VASOSTRICT® compared to pre-COVID-19 levels resulting from increased utilization and channel inventory stocking of this product, primarily to treat patients infected with COVID-19. We expect that there will be an increase in revenues in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter, primarily due to higher utilization and channel inventory stocking. During the second half of 2020, we anticipate a period of destocking with a subsequent return toward pre-COVID-19 purchasing levels. Additionally, we expect the increase in VASOSTRICT® in 2020 to be partially offset by decreases in certain other Sterile Injectables, primarily due to assumed competitive pressures not related to COVID-19.
For the full year 2020, we expect a decline in revenues from the Specialty Products portfolio of our Branded Pharmaceuticals segment as compared to 2019. During the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020, we began to experience decreased demand as compared to pre-COVID-19 levels for physician administered products, including XIAFLEX®, SUPPRELIN® LA and AVEED®, due to physician office closures and a decline in patients electing to be treated. We expect to see a continuation of the decline in demand for these products during the second quarter of 2020, followed by a gradual increase in volumes beginning in the second half of the year to the extent that physician and patient activities return toward pre-COVID-19 levels.
For the full year 2020, we expect a decline in revenues from our Generic Pharmaceuticals segment as compared to 2019, driven by modified production schedules to safely maintain operations in response to COVID-19, which could result in potential temporary supply decreases and potential launch delays for certain medications in this segment, as well as continued competitive pressures on certain commoditized generic products not related to COVID-19. We expect this decline to be partially offset by sales resulting from certain 2019 product launches, as further described below, and increased demand compared to pre-COVID-19 levels resulting from the utilization of certain of our generic products used to treat patients infected with COVID-19.
For the full year 2020, we expect declines in revenues from the Established Products portfolio of our Branded Pharmaceuticals segment and the International Pharmaceuticals segment as compared to 2019, primarily driven by competitive pressures impacting these product portfolios.

__________
NM indicates that the percentage change is not meaningful or is greater than 100%.
Total revenues, net. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to increases from our Sterile Injectables segment, including VASOSTRICT® and ADRENALIN®, our Branded Pharmaceuticals segment’s Specialty Products portfolio, led by XIAFLEX®, and recent product launches in our Generic Pharmaceuticals segment as further discussed below. Revenue also increased as a result of higher patient demand and increased customer inventory purchasing for certain of our products due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by the impact of competitive pressures on our Branded Pharmaceuticals segment’s Established Products portfolio. Our revenues are further disaggregated and described below under the heading “Business Segment Results Review.”
Cost of revenues and gross margin percentage. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred certain charges that impact the comparability of total Cost of revenues, including those related to amortization expense and continuity and separation benefits and other cost reduction initiatives. The following table summarizes such amounts (in thousands):

$
117,237

 
$
145,599

Continuity and separation benefits and other cost reduction initiatives (2)
$
6,238

 
$

__________
(1)
Amortization expense fluctuates based on changes in the total amount of amortizable intangible assets and the rate of amortization in effect for each intangible asset, both of which can vary based on factors such as the amount and timing of acquisitions, dispositions, asset impairment charges, transfers between indefinite- and finite-lived intangibles assets, changes in foreign currency rates and changes in the composition of our intangible assets impacting the weighted average useful lives and amortization methodologies being utilized. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by asset impairment charges and decreases in the rate of amortization expense for certain assets.
(2)
Amounts primarily relate to certain accelerated depreciation charges and employee continuity and separation benefits.
The decrease in amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted in decreased Cost of revenues and increased gross margin percentage. The decrease in Cost of revenues was partially offset by increased revenues as described above and increased expenses related to continuity and separation benefits and other cost reduction initiatives. In addition, favorable changes in product mix resulting primarily from increased revenues of VASOSTRICT® and ADRENALIN® contributed to the overall increase in gross margin percentage.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a higher branded prescription drug fee, increased long-term incentive compensation costs and increased costs associated with continuity bonuses for certain senior management of the Company. Additionally, we incurred increased costs associated with preparing for our planned commercial launch of CCH for the treatment of cellulite in the buttocks, if approved, and expect such costs to continue to increase in 2020 as compared to 2019.

30


R&D expenses. The amount of R&D expense we record in any period varies depending on the nature and stage of development of our R&D programs and can also vary in periods in which we incur significant upfront or milestone charges related to agreements with third parties.
In recent years, our R&D efforts have focused primarily on developing a balanced, diversified portfolio of innovative and clinically differentiated product candidates. We have been progressing and expect to continue to progress our cellulite treatment development program. In early 2020, we announced that we had initiated our XIAFLEX® development programs for the treatment of plantar fibromatosis and adhesive capsulitis. We also expect to continue to focus investments in our Sterile Injectables segment, potentially including license and commercialization agreements such as our Nevakar, Inc. agreement. In addition, we are conducting an open-label Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) study of VASOSTRICT® in healthy volunteers, studying plasma clearance with TT genotype versus AA/AT genotype.
The decrease in R&D expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was driven by decreased costs associated with certain post-marketing R&D commitments, offset in part by increased costs associated with our Sterile Injectables segment.
Litigation-related and other contingencies, net. Included within Litigation-related and other contingencies, net are changes to our accruals for litigation-related settlement charges and certain settlement proceeds related to suits filed by our subsidiaries. Our material legal proceedings and other contingent matters are described in more detail in Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. As further described therein, adjustments to the corresponding liability accruals may be required in the future. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Asset impairment charges. The following table presents the components of our total Asset impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

A discussion of critical accounting estimates made in connection with certain of our impairment tests is included below under the caption “CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.”
Acquisition-related and integration items, net. Acquisition-related and integration items, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily consist of the net expense (benefit) from changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities resulting from changes to our estimates regarding the timing and amount of the future revenues of the underlying products and changes in other assumptions impacting the probability of incurring, and extent to which we could incur, related contingent obligations. See Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for further discussion of our acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Interest expense, net. The components of Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to decreases to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) that impacted our variable-rate debt and reductions to the amount of our indebtedness associated with the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions, partially offset by increases to the weighted average interest rate applicable to our senior notes and senior secured notes following the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions and interest expense associated with our June 2019 Revolving Credit Facility draw of $300.0 million. Refer to Note 11. Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for further discussion of these transactions.
Changes in interest rates could increase our interest expense in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

31


Interest income varies primarily based on the amounts of our interest-bearing investments, such as money market funds, as well as changes in the corresponding interest rates.
Gain on extinguishment of debt. The gain on extinguishment of debt recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 relates to the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions. Refer to Note 11. Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for further discussion.

Our tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in non-U.S. jurisdictions as compared to the notional U.S. federal statutory tax rate, and the relative amount of income or loss in those various jurisdictions. It is also impacted by certain items that may occur in any given period, but are not consistent from period to period.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to the discrete tax benefit arising from the CARES Act. The income tax expense for the comparable 2019 period primarily relates to a taxable gain arising from the extinguishment of debt in the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions.
We have valuation allowances established against our deferred tax assets in most jurisdictions in which we operate, with the exception of Canada and India. Accordingly, it would be unlikely for future pre-tax losses to create a tax benefit that would be more likely than not to be realized. Although the Company has valuation allowances established against deferred tax assets in most major jurisdictions as of March 31, 2020, it is possible that there could be material reversals, particularly if certain proposed law changes were to be enacted.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) presently is examining certain of our subsidiaries’ U.S. income tax returns for fiscal years ended between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2015 and, in connection with those examinations, is reviewing our tax positions related to, among other things, certain intercompany arrangements, including the level of profit earned by our U.S. subsidiaries pursuant to such arrangements, and a worthless stock deduction directly attributable to product liability losses. The IRS may examine our tax returns for other fiscal years and/or for other tax positions. Similarly, other tax authorities, including the Canada Revenue Agency, are currently examining our non-U.S. tax returns. Additionally, other jurisdictions where we are not currently under audit remain subject to potential future examinations. Such examinations may lead to proposed or actual adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
For additional information on our income taxes, including information about the impact of the CARES Act, see Note 16. Income Taxes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Discontinued operations, net of tax. The operating results of the Company’s Astora business, which the Board resolved to wind-down in 2016, are reported as Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The results of our discontinued operations, net of tax, were losses of $27.7 million and $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a $30.5 million charge for mesh-related litigation. The remaining amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were primarily related to mesh-related legal defense costs and certain other items. Additionally, we recorded an income tax benefit of $5.9 million related to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020. For additional discussion of mesh-related matters, refer to Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.
Business Segment Results Review
Refer to Note 4. Segment Results of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further details regarding our reportable segments and segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax (the measure we use to evaluate segment performance), as well as reconciliations of Total consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax, which is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to our total segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax.
We refer to segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax, a financial measure not defined by U.S. GAAP, in making operating decisions because we believe it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. For instance, we believe that this measure facilitates internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ results. We believe this measure is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to supplemental information used in our financial and operational decision-making. Further, we believe that segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax may be useful to investors as we are aware that certain of our significant shareholders utilize segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax to evaluate our financial performance. Finally, segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax is utilized in the calculation of other financial measures not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are used by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board in assessing the performance and compensation of substantially all of our employees, including our executive officers. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company revised its definition of segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax to exclude certain legal costs in order to reflect changes in how the CODM reviews segment performance. Refer to Note 4. Segment Results of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further details regarding this revision.
There are limitations to using financial measures such as segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax. Other companies in our industry may define segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax or similarly named adjusted financial measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be used as an indicator of operating performance, a measure of liquidity or as alternative to net income, cash flows or any other financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing, in Note 4. Segment Results of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, reconciliations of Total consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax, which is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to our total segment adjusted income from continuing operations before income tax.

Specialty Products
The increase in XIAFLEX® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to demand growth driven by the continued investment and promotional efforts behind XIAFLEX® and increases in inventory stocking due to future access concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as price.
The decrease in SUPPRELIN® LA, a physician administered product, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a reduction in physician activity and a slowing of patient office visits resulting from shelter-in-place orders, which led to decreased demand for SUPPRELIN® LA.
The increase in Other Specialty Products for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increased sales of AVEED® as a result of price and volume increases.
XIAFLEX®, SUPPRELIN® LA and certain of our Other Specialty Products are physician administered products. During the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020, these products began to experience decreased demand due to a reduction in physician activity and a slowing of patient office visits resulting from shelter-in-place orders. We expect to see a continuation of the decline in demand for these products during the second quarter of 2020, followed by a gradual increase in volumes beginning in the second half of the year to the extent that physician and patient activities return toward pre-COVID-19 levels.
Established Products
The decrease in PERCOCET® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to volume decreases, partially offset by price increases.
The increase in EDEX® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to volume increases.
The decrease in Other Established Products for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to volume decreases as a result of ongoing competitive pressures.

Individual products presented above represent the top two performing products within the Sterile Injectables segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and/or any product having revenues in excess of $25 million during any quarterly period in 2020 or 2019.
The increase in VASOSTRICT® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increases in both volume and price. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant increase in sales volumes for VASOSTRICT® resulting from increased utilization and channel inventory stocking of this product, primarily to treat patients infected with COVID-19. We expect that there will be an increase in revenues in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter, primarily due to higher utilization and channel inventory stocking. During the second half of 2020, we anticipate a period of destocking with a subsequent return toward pre-COVID-19 purchasing levels.
As of March 31, 2020, we have six patents for VASOSTRICT® listed in the Orange Book and additional patents pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The FDA requires any applicant seeking FDA approval for vasopressin prior to patent expiry and relying on VASOSTRICT® as the reference-listed drug to notify us of its filing before the FDA will issue an approval. As further discussed in Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 under the heading “VASOSTRICT® Related Matters,” we have received notice letters from certain other pharmaceutical companies advising of the filing by such companies of ANDAs for generic versions of VASOSTRICT®. We have taken and plan to continue to take actions in our best interest to protect our rights with respect to VASOSTRICT®. The introduction of any competing versions of VASOSTRICT® could result in reductions to our market share, revenues, profitability and cash flows.
The increase in ADRENALIN® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increases in both volume and price. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant increase in sales volumes for ADRENALIN® resulting from increased utilization and channel inventory stocking of this product, primarily to treat patients infected with COVID-19.
The decrease in Ertapenem for injection, the authorized generic of Merck’s Invanz®, was primarily attributable to decreased volume and price as a result of increased competition.
The decrease in APLISOL® for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by destocking as wholesalers continued to normalize inventory levels following increased purchasing in the third quarter of 2019 subsequent to a temporary supply shortage.
The increase in Other Sterile Injectables for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by increased volume across multiple products within the product portfolio.
Generic Pharmaceuticals. Revenue for the Generic Pharmaceuticals segment increased during the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to certain recent product launches including, among others, the fourth-quarter 2019 launch of everolimus tablets, a generic version of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation’s Afinitor®, the second-quarter 2019 launch of albuterol sulfate HFA inhaler, the authorized generic of Merck’s Proventil®, and the third-quarter 2019 launch of posaconazole tablets, the authorized generic of Merck’s Noxafil®. Additionally, certain of these and other products in our Generic Pharmaceuticals segment experienced increased demand during the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulting from their utilization to treat patients infected with COVID-19 and from the impact of accelerated prescription fulfillment that we believe is a result of concerns of healthcare providers and consumers regarding their ability to access medications because of shelter-in-place and similar measures taken by governments. Partially offsetting the increase were the impacts of continued competitive pressures on certain commoditized generic products.
In the second quarter of 2020, we expect to see a decline in revenue for this segment compared to the first quarter driven by lower prescription trends following accelerated first-quarter prescription fulfillment, modified production schedules to safely maintain operations in response to COVID-19, which could result in potential temporary supply decreases and potential launch delays for certain medications in this segment, and continued competitive pressures on certain commoditized generic products.
International Pharmaceuticals. Revenue for the International Pharmaceuticals segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was in line with prior year.

Branded Pharmaceuticals. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increased gross margins resulting from changes in product mix and lower R&D expense resulting from lower costs associated with certain post-marketing R&D commitments. This was partially offset by increased costs associated with our planned commercial launch of CCH for the treatment of cellulite in the buttocks, if approved by the FDA.
Sterile Injectables. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by increased revenues and gross margins resulting from strong performance across several products in this segment, including increases in revenues related to COVID-19, as further described above.
Generic Pharmaceuticals. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increased revenues as described above and the resulting increases to gross margin. This increase was partially offset by negative impacts to gross margin due to changes in product mix resulting from increased sales of certain lower margin authorized generic products.
International Pharmaceuticals. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to increased gross margin as a result of favorable changes in product mix.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations. Our principal liquidity requirements are primarily for working capital for operations, licenses, milestone payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, contingent liabilities, debt service payments and litigation-related matters, including vaginal mesh liability payments. The Company’s working capital was $1,388.3 million at March 31, 2020 compared to working capital of $1,125.9 million at December 31, 2019. The amounts at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include restricted cash and cash equivalents of $195.7 million and $242.8 million, respectively, held in QSFs for mesh-related matters. Although these amounts in QSFs are included in working capital, they are required to be used for mesh product liability settlement agreements.
Cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consisted of bank deposits and money market accounts, totaled $1,531.5 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $1,454.5 million at December 31, 2019. While we currently expect our operating cash flows, together with our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, to be sufficient to cover our principal liquidity requirements over the next year, the extent to which COVID-19 could impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the short- and medium-term cannot be predicted with certainty, but such impact could be material. Although we did not experience significant disruptions to our business during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from COVID-19, we have since experienced and expect that we, and our industry as a whole, will continue to experience a greater impact going forward. To the extent COVID-19 has resulted in any increase to our Cash and cash equivalents, including as a result of any increase in revenues as described above, such increase could be temporary. Additionally, on a longer term basis, we may not be able to accurately predict the effect of certain developments on our sales and gross margins, such as the degree of market acceptance, patent protection and exclusivity of our products, pricing pressures (including those due to the impact of competition), the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and the outcome of our current efforts to develop, receive approval for and successfully launch our product candidates. We may also face unexpected costs in connection with our business operations, our ongoing and future legal proceedings, governmental investigations and other contingent liabilities, including potential costs related to settlements and judgments, as well as legal defense costs, and the implementation of our COVID-19 related policies and procedures. Furthermore, we may not be successful in implementing, or may face unexpected changes or expenses in connection with our strategic direction, including the potential for opportunistic corporate development transactions. Any of the above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and require us to seek additional sources of liquidity and capital resources as described below. For information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, including on our liquidity and capital resources, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.

36


To the extent our operating cash flows, together with our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, become insufficient to cover our liquidity and capital requirements, including funds for any future acquisitions and other corporate transactions, we may be required to seek third-party financing, including additional draws on our Revolving Credit Facility or additional credit facilities, and/or engage in one or more capital markets transactions. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to and volatility in the local, national and global financial markets and there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain any required financing on a timely basis or at all. Further, lenders and other financial institutions could require us to agree to more restrictive covenants, grant liens on our assets as collateral (resulting in an increase in our total outstanding secured indebtedness) and/or accept other terms that are not commercially beneficial to us in order to obtain financing, as a result of the actual or perceived impact that financial institutions believe the pandemic will have on our business. Such terms could further restrict our operations and exacerbate any impact on our results of operations and liquidity that may result from COVID-19.
We may also, from time to time, seek to enter into certain transactions to reduce our leverage and/or interest expense and/or to extend the maturities of our outstanding indebtedness. Such transactions could include, for example, transactions to exchange existing indebtedness for our ordinary shares or other debt (including exchanges of unsecured debt for secured debt), to issue equity (including convertible securities) or to repurchase, redeem, exchange or refinance our existing indebtedness (including the Credit Agreement) as well as our outstanding senior notes. Any of these transactions could impact our liquidity or results of operations. Our ability to obtain any third-party financing needed for such transactions is subject to the same uncertainties relating to the disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets described above. Further, the terms of any such transactions, including the amount of any exchange consideration and terms of any refinanced debt, could also be less favorable than we have been able to obtain in the past, including a requirement that we grant liens on our assets as collateral (resulting in an increase in our total outstanding secured indebtedness), as a result of changing market conditions and investment interest from the pandemic and its impact on our business and the financial markets.
Indebtedness. The Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries are party to the Credit Agreement governing the Credit Facilities and the indentures governing our various senior secured and senior unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $3.3 billion was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, approximately $0.3 billion was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $4.8 billion was outstanding under the senior secured and senior unsecured notes.
After giving effect to previous borrowings and issued and outstanding letters of credit, approximately $0.7 billion of remaining credit was available under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2020. The Company’s outstanding debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, including certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness.
The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our various notes contains certain covenants. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
Refer to Note 11. Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and Note 14. Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of the Annual Report for additional information about our indebtedness, including information about covenants, maturities, interest rates, security and priority.
Credit ratings. The Company’s corporate credit ratings assigned by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s are B3 with a stable outlook and B with a negative outlook, respectively. No report of any rating agency is being incorporated by reference herein.

Net working capital increased by $262.4 million from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. This increase primarily reflects the favorable impact to net current assets resulting from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This activity was partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment, excluding capitalized interest, of $19.6 million during three months ended March 31, 2020.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities represents the cash receipts and cash disbursements from all of our activities other than investing activities and financing activities. Changes in cash from operating activities reflect, among other things, the timing of cash collections from customers, payments to suppliers, managed care organizations, government agencies, collaborative partners and employees, as well as tax payments and refunds in the ordinary course of business.
The $153.1 million change in Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to our results of operations as described above and the timing of cash collections and cash payments related to our operations. Additionally, cash paid for interest decreased by approximately $72.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of the timing and amounts of interest payments related to our indebtedness.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was in line with the prior year period.
Financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, Net cash used in financing activities related primarily to Repayments of term loans of $8.5 million and Payments of tax withholding for restricted shares of $4.4 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Net cash used in financing activities related primarily to Repayments of term loans of $8.5 million, Payments for contingent consideration of $4.6 million and the net effect of the March 2019 Refinancing Transactions, which resulted in Repayments of notes totaling $1,500.0 million and Payments for debt issuance and extinguishment costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by Proceeds from issuance of notes, net of $1,483.1 million.
Contractual Obligations. As of March 31, 2020, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Annual Report.
Fluctuations. Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate. These fluctuations may be due to the timing of new product launches, purchasing patterns of our customers, market acceptance of our products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, certain actions taken by us which may impact the availability of our products, asset impairment charges, litigation-related charges, restructuring costs including separation benefits, business combination transaction costs, the impact of financing transactions, upfront, milestone and certain other payments made or accrued pursuant to licensing agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments and contingent assets and liabilities recorded as part of business combinations. Further, a substantial portion of our total revenues are through three wholesale drug distributors who in turn supply our products to pharmacies, hospitals and physicians. Accordingly, we are potentially subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to our trade receivables. The impact of COVID-19 may heighten these fluctuations in our operating results.
Additionally, the current economic crisis and rising unemployment rates resulting from COVID-19 have significantly reduced individual disposable income and depressed consumer confidence, which could limit the ability of some consumers to purchase certain pharmaceutical products and reduce consumer spend on certain medical procedures in both the short- and medium-term. Additionally, as part of the measures to address COVID-19, certain healthcare providers are not currently performing various medical procedures.
Inflation. We do not believe that inflation had a material adverse effect on our financial statements for the periods presented.
Off-balance sheet arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2019 are detailed below. For additional discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of the Annual Report.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
As further described in Note 8. Goodwill and Other Intangibles of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, we recorded a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge relating to our Paladin reporting unit of $32.8 million during the first quarter of 2020. Following this impairment, there was no remaining goodwill associated with this reporting unit.

38


We have not made any substantial changes to our methodology used in our impairment tests since our previous assessment. Determination of the fair value of a reporting unit is a matter of judgment and involves the use of estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best estimates at the time. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease our estimated discounted future cash flows and the resulting estimated fair value of our reporting units, which could result in the fair value of a reporting unit being less than its carrying amount in an impairment test.
We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our business. It is possible that COVID-19 could result in reductions to the estimated fair values of our goodwill and other intangible assets, which could ultimately result in asset impairment charges that may be material. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate indebtedness associated with our Credit Facilities. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate principal amounts of such variable-rate indebtedness were $3,621.1 million and $3,629.6 million, respectively. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities may from time to time bear interest at variable rates, as further described in Note 11. Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, in certain cases subject to a floor. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a hypothetical 1% increase in the applicable rate over the floor would have resulted in $36.2 million and $36.3 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense (representing the annual rate of expense) related to our variable-rate debt borrowings.
To the extent that we utilize additional amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility or otherwise increase the amount of our variable-rate indebtedness, we will be exposed to additional interest rate risk.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no other assets or liabilities with significant interest rate sensitivity.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate and transact business in various foreign countries and are therefore subject to risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company manages this foreign currency risk, in part, through operational means including managing foreign currency revenues in relation to same-currency costs and foreign currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. The Company is also exposed to potential earnings effects from intercompany foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from normal trade receivables and payables and other intercompany loans. Additionally, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books of record in currencies other than their respective functional currencies. These subsidiaries’ financial statements are remeasured into their respective functional currencies. Such remeasurement adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
All assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries, which maintain their financial statements in local currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and short-term intercompany receivables from foreign subsidiaries are included in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 15. Other (Income) Expense, Net of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for the amount of Foreign currency (gain) loss, net.
Based on the Company’s significant foreign currency denominated intercompany loans, we separately considered the hypothetical impact of a 10% change in the underlying currencies of our foreign currency denominated intercompany loans, relative to the U.S. dollar, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. A 10% change at March 31, 2020 would have resulted in approximately $9 million in incremental foreign currency losses on such date. A 10% change at December 31, 2019 would have resulted in approximately $11 million in incremental foreign currency losses on such date.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The disclosures under Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 are incorporated into this Part II, Item 1 by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a discussion of our risk factors, see the information in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those described in the Annual Report except as set forth below.
Widespread health problems, including the recent global coronavirus, could materially and adversely affect our business.
Public health outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, such as the coronavirus, could materially and adversely impact our business. For example, in December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. COVID-19 has resulted in global business and economic disruption and extreme volatility in the financial markets as many jurisdictions have placed restrictions on travel and non-essential business operations and implemented social distancing, shelter-in-place, quarantine and other similar measures for their residents to contain the spread of the virus. In response to these public health directives and orders, we have implemented alternative working practices and mandatory work-from-home requirements for appropriate employees, as well as social distancing, modified schedules, shift rotation and other similar policies at our manufacturing facilities, and have transitioned to a “virtual” engagement model to continue supporting healthcare professionals, patient care and access to medicines. We have also suspended international and domestic travel. The effects of COVID-19, including these public health directives and orders and our policies, have had an impact on our business and may in the future materially disrupt our business, including our manufacturing and supply chain operations by significantly reducing our output, negatively impact our productivity and delay our product development programs.
The global pandemic may have significant impacts on third-party arrangements, including those with our manufacturing, supply chain and distribution partners, information technology and other vendors and other service providers and business partners. For example, there may be significant disruptions in the ability of any or all of these third-party providers to meet their obligations to us on a timely basis, or at all, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties, including any closures of their facilities pursuant to a governmental order or otherwise. As a result of these disruptions and other factors, including changes in our workforce availability and increased demand for certain of our critical care products during this pandemic, our ability to meet our obligations to third-party distribution partners may be negatively impacted. As a result, we have recently delivered, and in the future we or our third-party providers may deliver, notices of the occurrence of a force majeure or similar event under certain of our third-party contracts, which could result in prolonged commercial disputes and ultimately legal proceedings to enforce contractual performance and/or recover losses. Any such occurrences could result in significant management distraction and use of resources and, in the event of an adverse judgment, could result in significant cash payments. Further, the publicity of any such dispute could harm our reputation and make the negotiation of any replacement contracts more difficult and costly, thereby prolonging the effects of any resulting disruption in our operations. Such disruptions could be acute with respect to certain of our raw material suppliers where we may not have readily accessible alternatives or alternatives may take longer to source than usual. While we attempt, when possible, to mitigate our raw material supply risks through stock management and alternative sourcing strategies, some raw materials are only available from one source. Any of these disruptions could harm our ability to meet consumer demand, including any increase in demand for any of our products, including our critical care products used during a pandemic.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, changes in customer demand as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. The current economic crisis and rising unemployment rates resulting from COVID-19 have the potential to significantly reduce individual disposable income and depress consumer confidence, which could limit the ability of some consumers to purchase certain pharmaceutical products and reduce consumer spend on certain medical procedures in both the short- and medium-term. Additionally, as part of the measures to address COVID-19, certain healthcare providers are not currently performing various medical procedures, including those that use certain of our products. For example, during the last two weeks of the first quarter of 2020, we experienced decreased demand for certain products that are physician administered, including XIAFLEX® and SUPPRELIN® LA. Furthermore, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 may have going forward on the business, results of operations or financial position of any of our major customers, which could impact each customer to varying degrees and at different times and could ultimately impact our own financial performance. Certain of our competitors may also be better equipped to weather the impact of COVID-19 both domestically and abroad and better able to address changes in customer demand.

41


Additionally, our product development programs may be adversely affected by the global pandemic and the prioritization of production during this pandemic. The public health directives in response to COVID-19 requiring social distancing and restricting non-essential business operations have in certain cases caused and may continue to cause delays, increased costs and additional challenges in our product development programs, including obtaining adequate patient enrollment and successfully bringing product candidates to market. In addition, we may face additional challenges receiving regulatory approvals as previously scheduled dates or anticipated deadlines for action by the FDA on our applications and products in development, including dates scheduled for 2020, could be subject to delays beyond our control as regulators such as the FDA focus on COVID-19. For example, as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on medical aesthetics physician office closures and consumer spending, we are planning on changing the anticipated product launch of CCH for the treatment of cellulite in the buttocks, if approved, to 2021. In addition, we have assessed and expect to continue to assess the timeline for commercialization of other products.
To the extent our operating cash flows, together with our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, become insufficient to cover our liquidity and capital requirements, including funds for any future acquisitions and other corporate transactions, we may be required to seek third-party financing, including additional draws on our Revolving Credit Facility or additional credit facilities, and/or engage in one or more capital markets transactions. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to and volatility in the local, national and global financial markets and there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain any required financing on a timely basis or at all. Further, lenders and other financial institutions could require us to agree to more restrictive covenants, grant liens on our assets as collateral (resulting in an increase in our total outstanding secured indebtedness) and/or accept other terms that are not commercially beneficial to us in order to obtain financing, as a result of the actual or perceived impact that financial institutions believe the pandemic will have on our business. Such terms could further restrict our operations and exacerbate any impact on our results of operations and liquidity that may result from COVID-19. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our ordinary shares.
Additionally, COVID-19 could increase the magnitude of many of the other risks described herein and in the Annual Report and have other adverse effects on our operations that we are not currently able to predict. For example, the global economic disruptions and volatility in the financial markets could further depress our ability to obtain or renew insurance on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, we may also be required to delay or limit our internal strategies in the short- and medium-term by, for example, redirecting significant resources and management attention away from implementing our strategic priorities or executing opportunistic corporate development transactions.
The magnitude of the effect of COVID-19 on our business will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions (including the effects of recently announced “re-opening” plans following a recent slowdown of the virus infection rate in certain countries and localities) and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. The longer the pandemic continues or resurges, the more severe the impacts described above will be on both our domestic and international business. The extent, length and consequences of the pandemic are uncertain and impossible to predict, but could be material. COVID-19 and other similar outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could cause significant volatility in the trading prices of our securities.
We have been and expect to continue to be the subject of lawsuits, product liability claims, other significant legal proceedings, governmental investigations or product recalls, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our company.
Our business exposes us to significant potential risks from lawsuits, product liability claims, other significant legal proceedings, governmental investigations and/or product recalls, including, but not limited to, matters associated with the testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale and use of our products. Some plaintiffs have received substantial damage awards against or entered into significant settlements with healthcare companies based upon various legal theories, including without limitation, claims for injuries allegedly caused by the use of their products. We have been, and expect to continue to be subject to various lawsuits, product liability claims, other significant legal proceedings and governmental investigations or product recalls, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our company or cause us to take significant corporate transactions and remedial measures.

42


For example, we, along with other manufacturers of prescription opioid medications, as well as distributors and other sellers of such medications, are the subject of lawsuits and have received subpoenas and other requests for information from various federal, state and local government agencies regarding the sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications. Numerous claims against opioid manufacturers, including us, have been and may continue to be filed by or on behalf of various plaintiffs, including states, counties, cities, Native American tribes, other government-related persons or entities, hospitals, health systems, unions, health and welfare funds, other third-party payers and/or individuals. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for more information. In these cases, plaintiffs have sought various remedies, including without limitation, declaratory and/or injunctive relief; compensatory, punitive and/or treble damages; restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, abatement, attorneys’ fees, costs and/or other relief. In these cases, settlement demands and discussions often seek significant monetary and other remedies, and we have received some settlement offers that are on terms that we do not consider reasonable under the circumstances or indicative of the merits or potential outcome of any court proceeding with respect to the underlying claims. Additionally, while we have made the decision to settle some claims, there can be no assurance that settlement opportunities will continue to be available generally, or be consistent with our historic experience. We may not be able to settle all of our opioid claims successfully, and as a result, we may go to trial in certain of these cases. Awards against and settlements by us or our competitors could also incentivize parties to bring additional claims against us. In addition to the risks of direct expenditures for defense costs, settlements and/or judgments in connection with these claims, proceedings and investigations, there is a possibility of loss of revenues, injunctions and disruption of business. Additionally, we have, and may continue to receive, claims or requests for indemnification from certain of our customers. Furthermore, we and other manufacturers of prescription opioid medications have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to negative publicity and press, which could harm our brand and the demand for our products. Certain other manufacturers of prescription opioid medications have publicly commenced, or announced their intention to commence, cases to seek the protections under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to address the claims being asserted against such manufacturers in these opioid lawsuits.
Our current and former products may cause or appear to cause serious adverse side effects or potentially dangerous drug interactions if misused or improperly prescribed or as a result of faulty surgical technique. For example, we and certain other manufacturers have been named as defendants in multiple lawsuits in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury resulting from use of transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat POP and SUI. The FDA held a public advisory committee meeting in February 2019 during which the members of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee discussed and made recommendations regarding the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh to treat POP. In April 2019, following the meeting, the FDA ordered that the manufacturers of all remaining surgical mesh products indicated for the transvaginal repair of POP cease selling and distributing their products in the U.S. effective immediately. Although we have not sold transvaginal surgical mesh products since March 2016, it is possible that the FDA’s order and any additional FDA actions based on the outcome of the advisory committee meeting could result in additional litigation against the Company. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for more information.
Any failure to effectively identify, analyze, report and protect adverse event data and/or to fully comply with relevant laws, rules and regulations around adverse event reporting could expose the Company to legal proceedings, penalties, fines and/or reputational damage.
In addition, in the age of social media, plaintiffs’ attorneys have a wide variety of tools to advertise their services and solicit new clients for litigation, including using judgments and settlements obtained in litigation against us or other pharmaceutical companies as an advertising tool. For these or other reasons, any product liability or other litigation in which we are a defendant could have a larger number of plaintiffs than such actions have seen historically and we could also see an increase in the number of cases filed against us because of the increasing use of widespread and media-varied advertising. Furthermore, a ruling against other pharmaceutical companies in product liability or other litigation in which we are not a defendant could have a negative impact on pending litigation where we are a defendant.
In addition, in certain circumstances, such as in the case of products that do not meet approved specifications or which subsequent data demonstrate may be unsafe, ineffective or misused, it may be necessary for us to initiate voluntary or mandatory recalls or withdraw such products from the market. Any such recall or withdrawal could result in adverse publicity, costs connected to the recall and loss of revenue. Adverse publicity could also result in an increased number of additional product liability claims, whether or not these claims have a basis in scientific fact. See the risk factor “Public concern around the abuse of opioids or other products, including without limitation law enforcement concerns over diversion or marketing practices, regulatory efforts to combat abuse, and litigation could result in costs to our business” in the Annual Report for more information.

43


If we are found liable in any lawsuits, including product liability claims or actions related to our sales, marketing or pricing practices or the sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications, or if we are subject to governmental investigations or product recalls, it could result in the imposition of material damages, including punitive damages, fines, reputational harm, civil lawsuits, criminal penalties, interruptions of business, modification of business practices, equitable remedies and other sanctions against us or our personnel as well as significant legal and other costs. We may also voluntarily settle cases even if we believe that we have meritorious defenses because of the significant legal and other costs that may be required to defend such actions. Any judgments, claims, settlements and related costs could be well in excess of any applicable insurance. As a result, we may experience significant negative impacts on our operations or financial position. To satisfy judgments or settlements, we also may need to seek financing or bonding, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, when required, particularly given the extreme volatility in the capital markets. Judgments also could cause defaults under our debt agreements and/or restrictions on product use or business practices and we could incur losses as a result. Any of the risks above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could be further exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19.
The occurrence or possibility of any such result may cause us to engage in a strategic review that ultimately results in us pursuing one or more significant corporate transactions or remedial measures. Any such actions or measures could include reorganization or restructuring activities, asset sales or other divestitures, cost-saving initiatives or other corporate realignments, seeking strategic partnerships and exiting certain product or geographic markets. See the risk factor “Our ability to fund our operations, maintain adequate liquidity and meet our financing obligations is reliant on our operations, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties” for more information. Any of such actions may be complex, could entail significant costs and charges or could otherwise negatively impact shareholder value and there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that they will result in their intended benefits.
See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for further discussion of the foregoing and other material legal proceedings.
Our ability to fund our operations, maintain adequate liquidity and meet our financing obligations is reliant on our operations, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
We rely on cash from operations as well as access to the financial markets to fund our operations, maintain liquidity and meet our financial obligations. Our operations are subject to many significant risks and uncertainties described in this “Risk Factors” section and in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, including those related to generic competition and legal challenges that could impact our key products, including VASOSTRICT®, outstanding and future legal proceedings and governmental investigations, including those related to our sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications, and others. Any negative development or outcome in connection with any or all of these risks and uncertainties could result in significant consequences, including one or more of the following:
causing a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to be dedicated to the payment of legal or related expenses and therefore unavailable for other purposes, including the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions, causing us to be more vulnerable to periods of negative or slow growth in the general economy or in our business, causing us to be unable to carry out capital spending that is important to our growth and placing us at a competitive disadvantage;
limiting our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
causing us to be unable to maintain compliance with or making it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations under certain of our outstanding debt obligations, causing a downgrade of our debt and long-term corporate ratings (which could increase our cost of capital) and exposing us to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under financial and operating covenants contained in our or our subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness;
limiting our ability to incur additional borrowings under the covenants in our then-existing facilities or to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, business development, debt service requirements, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes, or to refinance our indebtedness; and/or
otherwise causing us to be unable to fund our operations and liquidity needs, such as future capital expenditures and payment of our indebtedness.

44


The occurrence or possibility of any such result may cause us to engage in a strategic review that ultimately results in us pursuing one or more significant corporate transactions or remedial measures. Any such actions or measures could include reorganization or restructuring activities, asset sales or other divestitures, cost-saving initiatives or other corporate realignments, seeking strategic partnerships and exiting certain product or geographic markets. Additionally, we may need to refinance all or part of our then-existing indebtedness, reduce or delay capital expenditures or seek to raise additional capital. Any refinancing of our substantial indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, which will depend on the conditions of the markets (particularly given the disruptions to and extreme volatility in the capital markets from COVID-19) and our financial condition at such time, and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. Any refinancing may also increase the amount of our secured indebtedness. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from consummating any of these alternatives. Likewise, any reorganizations or restructuring activities, corporate realignments, asset sales or divestitures, strategic partnerships or other actions that we take may be complex, could entail significant costs and charges or could otherwise negatively impact shareholder value and there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that they will result in their intended benefits. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the financial markets, which could make it more difficult to consummate any refinancing or result in in more onerous or expensive terms.
Decreases in the degree to which individuals are covered by healthcare insurance could result in decreased use of our products.
Employers may seek to reduce costs by reducing or eliminating employer group healthcare plans or transferring a greater portion of healthcare costs to their employees. Job losses or other economic hardships may also result in reduced levels of coverage for some individuals, potentially resulting in lower levels of healthcare coverage for themselves or their families. Further, in addition to the fact that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)’s requirement that individuals maintain insurance or face a penalty, additional steps by the Trump Administration or other parties to limit or end cost-sharing subsidies to lower-income Americans may increase instability in the insurance marketplace and the number of uninsured Americans. These economic conditions may affect patients’ ability to afford healthcare as a result of increased co-pay or deductible obligations, greater cost sensitivity to existing co-pay or deductible obligations and lost healthcare insurance coverage or for other reasons. We believe such conditions could lead to changes in patient behavior and spending patterns that negatively affect usage of certain of our products, including some patients delaying treatment, rationing prescription medications, leaving prescriptions unfilled, reducing the frequency of visits to healthcare facilities, utilizing alternative therapies or foregoing healthcare insurance coverage. Such changes may result in reduced demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas held in Texas v. Azar that, because the provisions of the PPACA requiring certain individuals to either obtain health insurance or pay a shared responsibility payment (known as the individual mandate) are no longer permissible under the U.S. Congress’ taxing power, the entire PPACA is no longer constitutional. The decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In December 2019, the Fifth Circuit issued an opinion holding that, while the individual mandate was no longer constitutional, the case must be remanded to the district court to further evaluate whether the mandate can be severed from the PPACA or the entire PPACA must be stricken down. In January 2020, petitions for certiorari were filed requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court review the Fifth Circuit’s decision and ultimately decide the constitutionality of the PPACA. In March 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in the consolidated cases of Texas v. California and California v. Texas, both of which address the Fifth Circuit’s decision to strike down the individual mandate, while sending back to the district court the question of the overall law’s constitutionality. Changes in law resulting from this ongoing lawsuit or other court challenges to the PPACA could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, which may require us to refinance all or part of our then-outstanding indebtedness. Any refinancing of this substantial indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates. Additionally, we have a significant amount of floating rate indebtedness and an increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our indebtedness. Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness. This could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
We currently have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, we have total debt of approximately $8.46 billion in aggregate principal amount. Our substantial indebtedness may:
make it difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including making scheduled principal and interest payments on our indebtedness;
limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;
limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;
expose us to the risk of rising interest rates with respect to the borrowings under our variable rate indebtedness;
require us to use a substantial portion of our cash on hand and/or from future operations to make debt service payments;

45


limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which may further limit our ability to satisfy our financial obligations.
If we are unable to pay amounts due under our outstanding indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs, such as future capital expenditures or contingent liabilities as a result of adverse business developments, including expenses related to our ongoing and future legal proceedings and governmental investigations, decreased revenues or increased costs and expenses related to the impact of COVID-19 on our business, as well as increased pricing pressures or otherwise, we may be required to refinance all or part of our then-existing indebtedness, sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any refinancing of this substantial indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, which will depend on the conditions of the markets (particularly given the extreme volatility in the capital markets) and our financial condition at such time. In addition, we may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify. At any time and from time to time, we may also be pursuing activities to extend our debt maturities, lower principal balances, reduce interest expense or obtain covenant flexibility. Activities could include, without limitation, one or more tender offers, exchange offers, debt-for-equity exchanges or consent solicitations. The terms of any such transactions, including the amount of any exchange consideration and terms of any refinanced debt, could potentially be negatively impacted by a downgrade of our debt ratings and could also be less favorable than we have been able to obtain in the past, including a requirement that we grant liens on our assets as collateral (resulting in an increase in our total outstanding secured indebtedness), as a result of changing market conditions and investment interest from the pandemic and its impact on our business and the financial markets, including requiring us to incur additional secured indebtedness. We cannot predict if or when we would conduct any such activity, whether any such activities will achieve their intended results or whether any such activity could impact our financial results or be dilutive.
While interest rates have been at record low levels in recent years (most recently as a result of economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic), this low interest rate environment likely will not continue indefinitely. At March 31, 2020, approximately $3.3 billion and $0.3 billion of principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (each as defined in Note 11. Debt of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1), respectively, bear interest at variable rates. Any future borrowings by the Company could also have variable interest rates. As a result, to the extent we have not hedged against rising interest rates, an increase in the applicable benchmark interest rates would increase our cost of servicing our indebtedness and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(b)    The following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or
(c)    There is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than (A) a merger or consolidation which results in (i) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, at least 60% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and (ii) the individuals who comprise the Board of Directors immediately prior thereto constituting immediately thereafter at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company, the entity surviving such merger or consolidation or, if the Company or the entity surviving such merger is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates) representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or
(d)    The shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (it being conclusively presumed that any sale or disposition is a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets if the consummation of the sale or disposition is contingent upon approval by the Company’s shareholders unless the Board of Directors expressly determines in

8



writing that such approval is required solely by reason of any relationship between the Company and any other Person or an Affiliate of the Company and any other Person), other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity (A) at least 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition and (B) the majority of whose board of directors immediately following such sale or disposition consists of individuals who comprise the Board of Directors immediately prior thereto.
For purposes hereof, “Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 15(d) thereof, except that such term shall not include (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (iv) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of Company Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions and (ii) to the extent required to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, no such Award shall become payable as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control unless such Change in Control also constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A of the Code.
For the avoidance of doubt, any one or more of the events described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) may be effected pursuant to (A) a takeover under Irish takeover rules; (B) a compromise or arrangement under Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Companies Act 2014 of the Republic of Ireland or (C) Chapter 2 of Part 9 of the Companies Act 2014 of the Republic of Ireland.

9



the Plan shall govern, except as expressly provided by Sections 5 and 6 of this Award Agreement.

10.    Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from the Performance Award granted hereunder or other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld or to satisfy any applicable payroll deductions with respect to the vesting of, lapse of restrictions on, or payment of the Performance Award, up to the maximum statutory tax rates. A Participant who is an officer or director subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act as of the date of the withholding requirement may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares of Company Stock in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan.
11.    Section 409A Compliance. The Performance Award is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto and shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Date of Grant. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or Award Agreement to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Award Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Participant’s termination of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries will be made to the Participant until the Participant’s termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined in Code Section 409A). For purposes of this Award Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Paragraph 11 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to such Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Award Agreement will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
12.    Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws, and not the laws pertaining to

10



conflicts or choice of laws, of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within the State of Delaware.
13.    Binding on Successors.

No such interpolation shall occur in the event that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is less than 90% of Target or equal to or greater than 110% of Target.
The determination of Adjusted Free Cash Flow will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee, after the end of the FCF Performance Period once the 2022 year-end audit is available.

+/-
In the case of any one or more acquisitions or divestitures that occur after the formal Committee approval of the Target, any other income, expenses, gains or losses not otherwise adjusted for in this formula that are directly related to such acquisitions or divestitures (the direction of this adjustment shall be to neutralize the impact of any such acquisitions or divestitures)

For purposes of this Award Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. If a participant is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of his or her service until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” and (ii) the date of such Participant’s death.

Exhibit 10.3

ENDO HEALTH SOLUTIONS INC.
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is hereby entered into as of April 28, 2020, effective as of April 26, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Endo Health Solutions Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endo International plc (“Endo”), and Patrick Barry (“Executive”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the parties”).
In consideration of the respective agreements of the parties contained herein, it is agreed as follows:
1.
Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending, subject to earlier termination as set forth in Section 6, on the third anniversary thereof (the “Employment Term”).
2.
Employment. During the Employment Term:
(a)
Executive shall serve as EVP and President, Global Commercial Operations and shall be assigned with the customary duties and responsibilities of such position. If Executive serves as a director of Endo or as a director or officer of any of Endo’s affiliates, then Executive will fulfill Executive’s duties as such director or officer without additional compensation.
(b)
Executive shall report directly to Endo’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall perform the duties, undertake the responsibilities and exercise the authority customarily performed, undertaken and exercised by persons situated in a similar executive capacity.
(c)
Executive shall devote substantially full-time attention to the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates. Executive may (i) serve on corporate, civic, charitable or non-profit boards or committees, subject in all cases to the prior approval of the board of directors of Endo (the “Board”) and other applicable written policies of the Company and its affiliates as in effect from time to time, and (ii) manage personal and family investments, participate in industry organizations and deliver lectures at educational institutions or events, so long as no such service or activity unreasonably interferes, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities hereunder.

1



(d)
Executive shall be subject to and shall abide by each of the personnel and compliance policies of the Company and its affiliates applicable and communicated in writing to senior executives.
(e)
Executive shall primarily provide services at the Company’s office in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and will travel to additional locations to the extent reasonably necessary and appropriate to fulfill Executive’s duties.
3.
Annual Compensation.
(a)
Base Salary. The Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid to Executive during the Employment Term a base salary at the rate of $550,000 per annum or such increased amount in accordance with this Section 3(a) (hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s customary practices applicable to its executives. Such Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), with the first such planned review to occur in February 2021, and may be increased in the sole discretion of the Committee, but not decreased.
(b)
Annual Incentive Compensation. For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Employment Term, effective as of the 2020 fiscal year, Executive shall be eligible to receive a target annual cash bonus of 60% of Executive’s Base Salary (such target bonus, as may hereafter be increased, the “Target Bonus”) with the opportunity to receive a maximum annual cash bonus in accordance with the terms of the applicable annual cash bonus plan as in effect from time to time, subject to the achievement of performance targets set by the Committee. Such annual cash bonus (“Incentive Compensation”) shall be paid in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the taxable year (of the Company or Executive, whichever is later) in which the performance targets have been achieved. If the parties (following good faith negotiation) fail to enter into a new employment agreement following expiration of the Employment Term and Executive terminates Executive’s employment within ninety (90) days following expiration of the Employment Term under circumstances that would have constituted Good Reason had such termination occurred during the Employment Term or if, during such 90-day period, the Company terminates Executive’s employment under circumstances that would not have constituted Cause had such termination occurred during the Employment Term, then the Company shall pay Executive a Pro-Rata Bonus (as defined in Section 8(b)(ii) below) in a lump sum at the time bonuses are payable to other senior executives of the Company.

2



4.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation.
(a)
During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive compensation, which may be subject to the achievement of certain performance targets set by the Committee. Beginning with grants made in 2021, Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive compensation awards with a targeted grant date fair market value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) equal to 250% of Executive’s Base Salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the shares available under the Company's shareholder approved incentive plans are insufficient to make such grant (after taking into account the totality of grants to be made by the Company in a given year), in the Committee's sole discretion, all or a portion of the long-term incentive compensation may be issued in the form of a cash-based award on terms determined by the Committee. All such equity-based or cash-based awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan and award agreements, and in all cases shall be as determined by the Committee; provided, that, such terms and conditions shall be no less favorable than those provided for other senior executives of the Company. If the parties (following good faith negotiation) fail to enter into a new employment agreement following expiration of the Employment Term and Executive terminates Executive’s employment within ninety (90) days following expiration of the Employment Term under circumstances that would have constituted Good Reason had such termination occurred during the Employment Term or if, during such 90-day period, the Company terminates Executive’s employment under circumstances that would not have constituted Cause had such termination occurred during the Employment Term, then such termination of employment shall be treated as a termination of employment for “Good Reason” or without Cause, as applicable, for purposes of the performance-based restricted stock units held by Executive as of the date of such termination of employment (and such awards shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements).
5.
Other Benefits.
(a)
Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, practices and programs maintained by the Company or its affiliates and made available to similarly situated employees generally, including all pension, retirement, profit sharing, savings, medical, hospitalization, disability, dental, life or travel accident insurance benefit plans, to the extent Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans. Executive’s participation in such plans, practices and programs shall be on the same basis and

3



terms as are applicable to employees of the Company generally. During the Employment Term, Executive shall also be entitled to participate in all executive benefit plans and entitled to all fringe benefits and perquisites generally made available by the Company or its affiliates to its senior executives in accordance with current Company policy now maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates for the purpose of providing executive benefits or perquisites to comparable executive employees of the Company including, but not limited to, the Company’s supplemental retirement, deferred compensation, supplemental medical or life insurance plans. Unless otherwise provided herein, Executive’s participation in such plans and programs shall be on the same basis and terms as other senior executives of the Company. No additional compensation provided under any of such plans shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect the terms of this Agreement or any of Executive’s entitlements hereunder. Executive is responsible for any taxes (other than taxes that are the Company’s responsibility) that may be due based upon the value of the benefits or perquisites provided pursuant to this Agreement, whether provided during or following the Employment Term. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to any excise tax gross-up under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any successor provision), or any other tax gross-up.
(b)
Business Expenses. Upon submission of proper invoices in accordance with the Company’s normal procedures, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket business, entertainment and travel expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Such reimbursement shall be made in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.
(c)
Office and Facilities. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be provided with an appropriate office, with such secretarial and other support facilities as are commensurate with Executive’s status with the Company and its affiliates, which facilities shall be adequate for the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.
(d)

Executive shall be entitled to sick leave (without loss of pay) in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time.
6.
Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated under the circumstances set forth below; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement unless Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
(a)
Disability. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment, on written notice to Executive after having reasonably established Executive’s Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive will be deemed to have a “Disability” if, as a result of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, Executive is unable to perform the core functions of Executive’s position (with or without reasonable accommodation) or is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of six (6) months or more under the Company’s long-term disability plan. Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided for under this Agreement for any period prior to Executive’s termination by reason of Disability during which Executive is unable to work due to a physical or mental infirmity in accordance with the Company’s policies for senior executives.
(b)
Death. Executive’s employment shall be terminated as of the date of Executive’s death.
(c)
Cause.

5



(financial or otherwise) to the Company, including (A) the unauthorized disclosure of material secret or Confidential Information (as defined in Section 10(d) below) of the Company, (B) the debarment of the Company by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any successor agency (the “FDA”) or any non-U.S. equivalent, or (C) the registration of the Company with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration of any successor agency (the “DEA”) being revoked; (iv) the debarment of Executive by the FDA; (v) the continued material breach by Executive of this Agreement; (vi) any material breach by Executive of a Company policy; (vii) any breach by Executive of a Company policy related to sexual or other types of harassment or abusive conduct; or (viii) Executive making, or being found to have made, a certification relating to the Company’s financial statements and public filings that is known to Executive to be false. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to having Cause for Executive’s termination (other than as described in clauses (ii), (iv) and (vii) above), the Company must deliver a written demand to Executive which specifically identifies the conduct that may provide grounds for Cause within ninety (90) calendar days of the Company’s actual knowledge of such conduct, events or circumstances, and Executive must have failed to cure such conduct (if curable) within thirty (30) days after such demand.

Without Good Reason. Executive may voluntarily terminate Executive’s employment without Good Reason by delivering to the Company a Notice of Termination not less than thirty (30) days prior to the termination of Executive’s employment and the Company shall have the option of terminating Executive’s duties and responsibilities prior to the expiration of such thirty-day notice period provided the Company shall not be obligated to pay any amount through the end of such notice period.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that indicates a termination date, the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination of Executive’s employment hereunder shall be effective without such Notice of Termination (unless waived by the party entitled to receive such notice).

continued coverage for Executive’s dependents under any health, medical, dental, vision and basic life insurance (but not supplemental life insurance) program or policy in which Executive was eligible to participate as of the time of Executive’s employment termination (as may be amended or replaced by the Company from time to time in the ordinary course), for twenty-four (24) months following such termination on the

9



same basis as the dependents of active employees, which such twenty-four month period shall run concurrently with the COBRA period.
(d)
Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of Executive’s Disability or death) or by Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 14(e), the Company shall pay Executive:
(i)
the Accrued Compensation;
(ii)
the Pro-Rata Bonus;
(iii)
in lieu of any further Base Salary or other compensation and benefits for periods subsequent to the termination date, an amount in cash, which amount shall be payable in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following such termination (subject to Section 9(c)), equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the Target Bonus; and
(iv)
the Benefits Continuation.
(e)
No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Section 8 by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except as provided in Section 8(b)(iii) and 8(d)(iv) above, no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to Executive in any subsequent employment. Further, the Company’s obligations to make any payments hereunder shall not be subject to or affected by any set-off, counterclaim or defense which the Company may have against Executive.
9.
Certain Tax Treatment.
(a)
Golden Parachute Tax. To the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, Executive under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any of its affiliates (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision thereto, or any similar tax imposed by state or local law, then Executive may, in Executive’s sole discretion (except as provided herein below) waive the right to receive any payments or distributions (or a portion thereof) by the Company in the nature of compensation to or for Executive’s benefit if and to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made

10



or benefit to be provided to Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”), but only if such reduction results in a higher after-tax payment to Executive after taking into account the Excise Tax and any additional taxes (including federal, state and local income taxes, employment, social security and Medicare taxes and all other applicable taxes) Executive would pay if such Payments were not reduced. If so waived, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments to effect the provisions of this Section 9 based upon Section 9(b) below. The determination of the amount of Payments that would be required to be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by a reputable accounting firm selected by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and Executive within ten (10) days of the date of termination, if applicable, or such other time as specified by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive, and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to the Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payments. The Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Executive, absent manifest error. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 9(a), the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and rates, and rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. In furtherance of the above, to the extent requested by Executive, the Company shall cooperate in good faith in valuing, and the Accounting Firm shall value, services to be provided by Executive (including Executive refraining from performing services pursuant to any covenant not to compete) before, on or after the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 4999 of the Code, such that payments in respect of such services may be considered to be “reasonable compensation” within the meaning of the regulations under Section 4999 of the Code.
(b)
Ordering of Reduction. In the case of a reduction in the Payments pursuant to Section 9(a), the Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments and benefits due in

11



respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with amounts that are payable last reduced first, will next be reduced; (iv) payments and benefits due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24, with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24) will next be reduced; and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) will be next reduced pro-rata.
(c)
Section 409A. The parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. In the event the Company determines that a payment or benefit under this Agreement may not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, subject to Section 5(a) herein, the Company shall reasonably confer with Executive in order to modify or amend this Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to do so in a manner to best preserve the economic benefit of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (i) no amounts shall be paid to Executive under Section 8 of this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; (ii) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service (or death, if earlier), with interest for any cash payments so delayed, from the date such cash amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Code for the month in which the payment would have been made but for the delay in payment required to avoid the imposition of an additional rate of tax on Executive; (iii) each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separately identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; (iv) any payments that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in

12



Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise; and (v) amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one (1) year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year.
10.
Records and Confidential Data.
(a)
Executive acknowledges that in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties during the Employment Term, the Company and its affiliates will make available to Executive, or Executive will develop and have access to, certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company and its affiliates.

(b)
During the Employment Term and thereafter, Confidential Information will be kept confidential by Executive, will not be used in any manner that is detrimental to the Company or its affiliates, will not be used other than in connection with Executive’s discharge of Executive’s duties hereunder, and will be safeguarded by Executive from unauthorized disclosure; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be disclosed by Executive (i) to the Company and its affiliates, or to any authorized agent or representative of any of them, (ii) in connection with performing Executive’s duties hereunder, (iii) without limiting Section 10(g) of this Agreement, when required to do so by law or requested by a court, governmental agency, legislative body, arbitrator or other person with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information, provided that Executive, to the extent legally permitted, notifies the Company prior to such disclosure, (iv) in the course of any proceeding under Section 11 or 12 of this Agreement or Section 6 of the Release, subject to the prior entry of a confidentiality order, or (v) in confidence to an attorney or other professional advisor for the purpose of securing professional advice, so long as such attorney or advisor is subject to confidentiality restrictions no less restrictive than those applicable to Executive hereunder.

13



(c)
On Executive’s last day of employment with the Company, or at such earlier date as requested by the Company, (i) Executive will return to the Company all written Confidential Information that has been provided to, or prepared by, Executive; (ii) at the election of the Company, Executive will return to the Company or destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Executive or for Executive’s use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information; and (iii) Executive will return all Company property.

(iii)
notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by or for the Company or its affiliates containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include and Executive’s obligations shall not extend to (A) information that is generally available to the public, (B) information obtained by Executive

14



other than pursuant to or in connection with this employment, (C) information that is required to be disclosed by law or legal process, and (D) Executive’s rolodex and similar address books, including electronic address books, containing contact information.
(e)
Nothing herein or elsewhere shall preclude Executive from retaining and using (i) Executive’s personal papers and other materials of a personal nature, including photographs, contacts, correspondence, personal diaries, and personal files (so long as no such materials are covered by any Company hold order), (ii) documents relating to Executive’s personal entitlements and obligations, and (iii) information that is necessary for Executive’s personal tax purposes.
(f)
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), Executive understands that Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or its affiliates that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to Executive’s attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  Executive understands that if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if Executive (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement that Executive has with the Company or its affiliates, is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. 
(g)
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement that Executive has with the Company or its affiliates to the contrary, Executive shall not be prohibited from reporting possible violations of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation, nor is Executive required to notify the Company regarding any such reporting, disclosure or cooperation with the government.
11.
Covenant Not to Solicit, Not to Compete, Not to Disparage, to Cooperate in Litigation and Not to Cooperate with Non-Governmental Third Parties.

15



(a)
Covenant Not to Solicit. To protect the Confidential Information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates as well as the goodwill and competitive business of the Company and its affiliates, Executive agrees, during the Employment Term and for a period of eighteen (18) months after Executive’s cessation of employment with the Company, not to solicit or participate in or assist in any way in the solicitation of any (i) customers or clients of the Company or its affiliates whom Executive first met or about whom learned Confidential Information through Executive’s employment with the Company and (ii) suppliers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates. For purposes of this covenant, “solicit” or “solicitation” means directly or indirectly influencing or attempting to influence any customers, clients, suppliers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates to cease doing business with, or to reduce the level of business with, the Company and its affiliates or, with respect to employees or exclusive agents, to become employed or engaged by any other person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity. Executive agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 11(a) are reasonable and desirable to protect the Confidential Information of the Company and its affiliates; provided, that solicitation through general advertising not targeted at the Company’s or its affiliates’ employees or the provision of references shall not constitute a breach of such obligations.
(b)
Covenant Not to Compete.
(i)
The Company and its affiliates are currently engaged in the business of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, with a focus on product development, clinical development, manufacturing, distribution and sales & marketing. To protect the Confidential Information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates as well as the goodwill and competitive business of the Company and its affiliates, Executive agrees, during the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after Executive’s cessation of employment with the Company, that Executive will not, unless otherwise agreed to by the Chief Executive Officer of Endo (following approval by the Chairman of the Committee), anywhere in the world where, at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, the Company develops, manufactures, distributes, markets or sells its products, except in the course of Executive’s employment hereunder, directly or indirectly manage, operate, control, or participate in the management, operation, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend Executive’s name to, or render services or advice to, any third party or any business whose products or

16



services compete in whole or in part with the products or services (both on the market and in development) material to the Company or any business unit on the termination date that constitutes more than 5% of the Company’s revenue on the termination date (a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that Executive may in any event (x) own up to a 5% passive ownership interest in any public or private entity and (y) serve on the board of any Competing Business that competes with the business of the Company and its affiliates as an immaterial part of its overall business, provided that Executive recuses himself or herself fully and completely from all matters relating to such business.
(ii)
For purposes of this Section 11(b), any third party or any business whose products compete includes any entity with which the Company or its affiliates has had a product(s) licensing agreement during the Employment Term and any entity with which the Company or any of its affiliates is at the time of termination actively negotiating, and eventually concludes within twelve (12) months of the Employment Term, a commercial agreement.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b), for Executive to provide services to (or engage in activities involving): (A) a subsidiary, division or affiliate of a Competing Business where such subsidiary, division or affiliate is not engaged in a Competing Business and Executive does not provide services to, or have any responsibilities regarding, the Competing Business; (B) any entity that is, or is a general partner in, or manages or participates in managing, a private or public fund (including a hedge fund) or other investment vehicle, which is engaged in venture capital investments, leveraged buy-outs, investments in public or private companies, other forms of private or alternative equity transactions, or in public equity transactions, and that might make an investment which Executive could not make directly, provided that in connection therewith, Executive does not provide services to, engage in activities involved with, or have any responsibilities regarding a Competing Business; and (C) an affiliate of a Competing Business if Executive does not provide services, directly or indirectly, to such Competing Business and the basis of the affiliation is solely due to common ownership by a private equity or similar investment fund; provided, that, in each case, Executive shall remain bound by all other post-employment obligations under this Agreement including Executive’s obligations under Sections 10, 11(a), (c) and (d) herein; provided, further,

17



that Executive’s provision of services to (or engagement in activities involving) any entity described in clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 11(b)(iii) shall be subject to the prior approval of the Board.
(c)
Nondisparagement. Executive covenants that during and following the Employment Term, Executive will not disparage or encourage or induce others to disparage the Company or its affiliates, together with all of their respective past and present directors and officers, as well as their respective past and present managers, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, servants and customers and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Entities and Persons”); provided, that such limitation shall extend to past and present managers, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, servants and customers only in their capacities as such or in respect of their relationship with the Company and its affiliates. The Company shall instruct its officers and directors not to, during and following the Employment Term, make or issue any statement that disparages Executive to any third parties or otherwise encourage or induce others to disparage Executive. The term “disparage” includes, without limitation, comments or statements adversely affecting in any manner (i) the conduct of the business of the Company Entities and Persons or Executive, or (ii) the business reputation of the Company Entities and Persons or Executive. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall prevent either party from providing, or limiting testimony in any judicial, administrative or legal process or otherwise as required by law, prevent either party from engaging in truthful testimony pursuant to any proceeding under this Section 11 or Section 12 below or Section 6 of the Release or prevent Executive from making statements in the course of doing Executive’s normal duties for the Company.
(d)
Cooperation in Any Investigations and Litigation; No Cooperation with Non-Governmental Third Parties. During the Employment Term and thereafter, Executive shall provide truthful information and otherwise assist and cooperate with the Company and its affiliates, and its counsel, (i) in connection with any investigation, inquiry, administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings, or in connection with any dispute or claim of any kind that may be made against, by, or with respect to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company (including Executive being available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are in or may come into Executive’s possession), and (ii) in all

18



matters concerning requests for information about the services or advice Executive provides or provided to the Company during Executive’s employment with Endo, its affiliates and their predecessors. Such cooperation shall be subject to Executive’s business and personal commitments and shall not require Executive to cooperate against Executive’s own legal interests or the legal interests of any future employer of Executive. Executive shall use the Company’s counsel for all matters in connection with this Section 11(d); provided, however, that if there exists an actual conflict of interest between Executive and the Company’s counsel, Executive may retain separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company. The existence of an actual conflict of interest, and whether such conflict may be waived, shall be determined pursuant to the rules of attorney professional conduct and applicable law. The Company agrees to promptly reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses reasonably incurred by Executive, in connection with Executive’s cooperation pursuant to this Section 11(d) (including travel expenses at the level of travel permitted by this Agreement and reasonable attorney fees in the event separate legal counsel for Executive is required due to a conflict of interest). Such reimbursements shall be made as soon as practicable, and in no event later than the calendar year following the year in which the expenses are incurred. Executive also shall not support (financially or otherwise), counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients or any other non-governmental person in the presentation or prosecution of, encourage any non-governmental person to raise, or suggest or recommend to any non-governmental person that such person could or should raise, in each case, any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against the Company and/or its affiliates that (x) arises out of, or relates to, any period of time on or prior to Executive’s last day of employment with the Company or (y) involves any information Executive learned during Executive’s employment with the Company; provided, that, following the second anniversary of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, such prohibition shall not extend to any such actions taken by Executive on behalf of (A) Executive’s then current employer, (B) any entity with respect to which Executive is then a member of the board of directors or managers (as applicable), or (C) any non-publicly traded entity with respect to which Executive is a 5% or more equity owner (or any affiliate of any such entities referenced in clauses (A), (B) or (C)). Executive agrees that, in the event Executive is subpoenaed by any person or entity (including any government agency) to give testimony (in a deposition, court proceeding or otherwise) which in any way relates to Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will, to the extent not legally prohibited from doing so, give prompt notice of such request to the Chief Legal Officer of the Company so

19



that the Company may contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure before making such disclosure. Nothing in this provision shall require Executive to violate Executive’s obligation to comply with valid legal process.
(e)
Blue Pencil. It is the intent and desire of Executive and the Company that the provisions of this Section 11 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision of this Section 11 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such covenant shall be amended, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete therefrom the portion so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
12.
Remedies for Breach of Obligations under Sections 10 or 11 hereof. Executive acknowledges that the Company and its affiliates will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Sections 10 or 11 hereof. Accordingly, Executive agrees that the Company and its affiliates will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by Executive of Executive’s obligations under Sections 10 or 11 hereof in any Federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware or, at the Company’s election, in any other state in which Executive maintains Executive’s principal residence or Executive’s principal place of business. Executive hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all those courts for the purposes of any actions or proceedings instituted by the Company or its affiliates to obtain that injunctive relief, and Executive agrees that process in any or all of those actions or proceedings may be served by registered mail, addressed to the last address provided by Executive to the Company, or in any other manner authorized by law.

4.
The Release is executed by Executive voluntarily and is not based upon any representations or statements of any kind made by the Company or any of the other Releasees as to the merits, legal liabilities or value of Executive’s claims.

Dear Pat,
As we continue to execute on our corporate strategy, your leadership and expertise is essential to the Company. With the progress made to date, we are positioning ourselves for continued growth in Branded Pharmaceuticals and U.S. Branded Sterile Injectables, while continuing to stabilize our Retail Generics segment. Our capabilities in these core growth areas will be further enhanced by the expected emergence of the Company’s Aesthetics segment as we transition to the crucial next phase of our multi-year turnaround plan.
Based upon the impact of your leadership across the enterprise and the criticality of your ongoing contributions to the planning and execution of Endo’s (“Endo” or the “Company”) transformation and turnaround plan, I am pleased to offer you a special compensation arrangement that demonstrates your importance to our Company. Specifically, you are eligible for the contribution retention bonus arrangement described in this Letter Agreement (“Letter Agreement”).
Your total Contribution Retention Bonus amount is 1,250,000 USD (the “Contribution Bonus”), subject to applicable tax withholdings. This Contribution Bonus will be paid in installments within thirty (30) days following the end of the first, second, third and fourth Retention Period (each a “Retention Period” as defined below), provided you are employed on such dates by the Company or one of its affiliates. The Retention Periods and the associated installment amounts are as follows: (1) 312,500 USD following September 30, 2019; (2) 312,500 USD following December 31, 2019; (3) 312,500 USD following June 30, 2020; and (4) 312,500 USD following December 31, 2020. To qualify for the Contribution Bonus payments, you must maintain strong work performance and remain actively employed with Endo or one of its affiliates through the applicable Retention Periods.
Payment of the Contribution Bonus will be accelerated if your employment is terminated by Endo without cause (no misconduct or rule violation; i.e., restructuring, reorganization or RIF) before the end of any applicable Retention Period and will be paid within 30 days of your termination date. Any unpaid Contribution Bonus amounts will be forfeited if you are terminated for cause (i.e., misconduct, violation of rule or policy, etc.) or if you resign before the end of a Retention Period.
The Contribution Bonus will not become part of your remuneration, salary, or compensation (other than for tax purposes) for purposes of the calculation of any severance, notice or redundancy pay, or any other amount that you may be or become entitled to in relation to your employment or the termination of your employment. Nor is the Contribution Bonus an acquired right, since it is part of a global employee retention program implemented by the Company. This Contribution Bonus is a one-time retention award and will not create any legal claim for you in respect to its cause or amount, either for the past or for the future.

This Letter Agreement does not change the at-will employment relationship between you and Endo or alter any other terms and conditions of your employment. You or Endo may terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement, or a breach thereof, including, but not limited to, any claims arising out of federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations, shall be exclusively settled by an arbitration proceeding conducted through Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”). This means that the Company and you are waiving your right to a have jury or judge adjudicate such claims or controversies, and that such claims or controversies will be exclusively decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the then-current JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (and no other JAMS rules). The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. You and the Company shall each bear your and its own legal expenses, except where otherwise required by law. The arbitration shall take place in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and no dispute under this Letter Agreement shall be adjudicated in any other venue or forum. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, and it may not be modified in the absence of a written document signed by the parties.
Thank you for your ongoing contributions and commitment to our Company as we execute our strategic vision and operating plans at the highest performance level in support of our customers and patients. Please indicate your acceptance by signing and returning one copy of this Letter Agreement to Vito Romano by August 9, 2019.

Sincerely,

/S/ PAUL V. CAMPANELLI

President & Chief Executive Officer
