MALLINCKRODT PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share data and where indicated)

1.
Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Mallinckrodt plc and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Mallinckrodt" or "the Company") is a global business that develops, manufactures, markets and distributes branded and generic specialty pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products and therapies and nuclear medicine products. Therapeutic areas of focus include autoimmune and rare disease specialty areas (including neurology, rheumatology, nephrology and pulmonology); immunotherapy and neonatal critical care respiratory therapies; hemostasis products; and central nervous system drugs. The Company also supports the diagnosis of disease with nuclear medicine products.
The Company operates in three reportable segments, which are further described below:
•
Specialty Brands produces and markets branded pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products and therapies;
•
Specialty Generics produces specialty generic pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API") consisting of biologics, medicinal opioids, synthetic controlled substances, acetaminophen and other active ingredients; and
•
Nuclear Imaging manufactures and markets radiopharmaceuticals (nuclear medicine).
The Company owns or has rights to use the trademarks and trade names that are used in conjunction with the operation of its business. One of the more important trademarks that the Company owns or has rights to use that appears in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is "Mallinckrodt," which is a registered trademark or the subject of pending trademark applications in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Solely for convenience, the Company only uses the ™ or ® symbols the first time any trademark or trade name is mentioned in the following notes. Such references are not intended to indicate in any way that the Company will not assert, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, its rights to its trademarks and trade names. Each trademark or trade name of any other company appearing in the following discussion is, to the Company's knowledge, owned by such other company.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mallinckrodt plc, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which they own or control more than fifty percent of the voting shares, or have the ability to control through similar rights. The results of entities disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal and, where appropriate, these operations have been reflected as discontinued operations. Divestitures of product lines and businesses that did not qualify as discontinued operations have been reflected in operating income. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated and combined financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 25, 2015, filed with the SEC on November 24, 2015.
The Company completed the sale of the contrast media and delivery systems ("CMDS") business on November 27, 2015. As a result, prior year balances have been recast to present the CMDS business as a discontinued operation.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company revised the presentation of certain medical affairs costs to better align with industry practice, which were previously included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and are now included in research and development ("R&D") expenses. As a result, $12.3 million and $23.5 million of expenses previously included in SG&A for the three and six months ended March 27, 2015, respectively, have been classified as R&D expenses to conform to this change. No other financial statement line items were impacted by this change in classification.


7



Fiscal Year
The Company reports its results based on a "52-53 week" year ending on the last Friday of September. The second fiscal quarters of 2016 and 2015 ended on March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, the three and six months ended March 25, 2016 refers to the thirteen and twenty-six week period ended March 25, 2016 and the three and six months ended March 27, 2015 refers to the thirteen and twenty-six week period ended March 27, 2015. The full year fiscal 2015 consisted of 52 weeks, while fiscal 2016 will consist of 53 weeks and will end on September 30, 2016.

2.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Stock Compensation," in March 2016. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the guidance.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," in February 2016. This update was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this guidance.
The FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Reclassification of Deferred Taxes," in November 2015. This update eliminates the current requirement to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and non-current in a classified balance sheet. Instead, entities will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company anticipates certain reclassifications on its consolidated balance sheet are anticipated upon adoption.
The FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," in September 2015. This update requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjusting amounts are determined. The amendments in this update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The update is not expected to have a material impact for our historical acquisitions.

3.
Discontinued Operations
CMDS
On November 27, 2015, the Company completed the sale of the CMDS business to Guerbet S.A. ("Guerbet") for cash consideration of approximately $270.0 million, subject to net working capital adjustments. The CMDS business was eliminated from the Global Medical Imaging segment, which was renamed Nuclear Imaging.
Subsequent to the sale of the CMDS business, the Company has and will continue to supply certain products under a supply agreement with Guerbet.

Income tax benefit of $0.2 million is predominately associated with the $2.2 million loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 25, 2016. The gain on disposal of discontinued operations resulted in $8.6 million of tax expense, of which $10.0 million tax expense was recognized during the three months ended September 25, 2015, offset by $1.4 million of tax benefit recognized during the three months ended December 25, 2015. The $8.6 million of tax expense was favorably impacted by receiving a benefit from permanently deductible items. Income tax benefit of $2.9 million is predominately associated with the $7.1 million loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended March 25, 2016.

Mallinckrodt Baker: During fiscal 2010, the Specialty Chemicals business (formerly known as "Mallinckrodt Baker") was sold because its products and customer base were not aligned with the Company's long-term strategic objectives. This business met the discontinued operations criteria and, accordingly, was included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the three months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015 the Company recorded losses, net of tax, of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, the Company recorded gains, net of tax, of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These gains were primarily related to the indemnification obligations to the purchaser, which are discussed in Note 15.
Other: The Company previously accrued a liability, to the purchaser of a certain legal entity, to indemnify them for tax obligations that may have arisen should the tax basis of certain assets they acquired not be recognized. The Company believes that, under the terms of the agreement between the parties, this indemnification obligation has expired. As such, the Company eliminated this liability and recorded a $22.5 million benefit, during fiscal 2015, in discontinued operations within the consolidated and combined statement of income.

Acquisitions and License Agreements
Business Acquisitions
Hemostasis Products
On February 1, 2016, the Company acquired three commercial stage topical hemostasis drugs from The Medicines Company ("the Hemostasis Acquisition") - RECOTHROM® Thrombin topical (Recombinant), PreveLeakTM Surgical Sealant, and RAPLIXATM (Fibrin Sealant (Human)) - for upfront consideration of $174.1 million, inclusive of existing inventory, and contingent milestone payments that could result in up to $395.0 million of additional consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration and acquired contingent liabilities associated with the transaction are $52.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The Hemostasis Acquisition was funded through cash on hand.

Therakos, Inc.
On September 25, 2015, the Company acquired Therakos, Inc. ("Therakos") through acquisition of all outstanding common stock of TGG Medical Solutions, Inc., the parent holding company of Therakos, in a transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion, net of cash acquired ("the Therakos Acquisition"). Consideration for the transaction consisted of approximately $1.0 billion in cash paid to TGG Medical Solutions, Inc. shareholders and the assumption of approximately $0.3 billion of Therakos third-party debt, which was repaid in conjunction with the Therakos Acquisition. The acquisition and repayment of debt was funded through the issuance of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, a $500.0 million borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Therakos' primary immunotherapy products relate to the administering of extracorporeal photopheresis therapies through its UVAR XTS® and CellexTM Photopheresis Systems.

Ikaria, Inc.
On April 16, 2015, the Company acquired Ikaria, Inc. ("Ikaria") through acquisition of all outstanding common stock of Compound Holdings II, Inc., the parent holding company of Ikaria, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.3 billion, net of cash acquired ("the Ikaria Acquisition").

Fair Value Allocation
The following amounts represent the preliminary allocations of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Ikaria Acquisition, the Therakos Acquisition and the Hemostasis Acquisition, including preliminary goodwill, intangible assets and the related deferred tax balances. The Company expects to complete its valuation analysis and finalize deferred tax balances as of the acquisition date no later than twelve months from the date of the respective acquisitions. The changes in the purchase price allocation and preliminary goodwill based on the final valuation may include, but are not limited to, finalization of working capital settlements, the impact of U.S. state tax rates in determining the deferred tax balances and changes in assumptions utilized in the preliminary valuation report.

The completed technology intangible assets relate to each of the acquired drugs. The fair value of the intangible assets were determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of fair value of the assets based on the market participant expectations of cash flows the asset would generate. The cash flows were discounted commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset or its projected cash flows. The completed technology intangible assets utilized a discount rate of 17.5%, 16.0% and 17.5% for Raplixa, Recothrom and PreveLeak, respectively. All assets acquired are included within the Company's Specialty Brands segment.

The cash flows were discounted commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset or its projected cash flows. The completed technology intangible asset utilized a discount rate of 17.0%. Based on the Company's preliminary estimate, the excess of purchase price over net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill, which represents the assembled workforce, future product and device development, anticipated synergies and the tax status of the transaction. The goodwill is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. All assets acquired are included within the Company's Specialty Brands segment.

The completed technology and trademark intangible assets relate to Inomax. The fair values of the intangible assets were determined using the income approach. The cash flows were discounted at various discount rates commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset or their projected cash flows. Completed technology, trademark and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") terlipressin intangibles utilized discount rates of 14.5%, 14.5%, and 17.0%, respectively. The IPR&D discount rate, for terlipressin, was developed after assigning a probability of success to achieving the projected cash flows based on the current stage of development, inherent uncertainty in the FDA approval process and risks associated with commercialization of a new product. Based on the Company's preliminary estimate, the excess of purchase price over net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill, which represents the assembled workforce, future product and device development, anticipated synergies and the tax status of the transaction. The goodwill is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. All assets acquired are included within the Company's Specialty Brands segment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents a summary of the combined results of operations for the periods indicated as if the acquisition of Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Questcor") had been completed as of September 29, 2012 and the Ikaria Acquisition and Therakos Acquisition as of September 28, 2013. The Hemostasis Acquisition was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and thus the effect of this acquisition is not included in the pro forma financial information presented below.
The pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial information for the Company, Questcor, Ikaria and Therakos, along with certain pro forma adjustments. These pro forma adjustments consist primarily of:
•
non-recurring costs related to the step-up in fair value of acquired inventory and transaction costs related to the acquisitions;
•
increased amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions;
•
increased interest expense to reflect the fixed-rate notes entered into in connection with the Therakos Acquisition (utilizing the interest rate of 5.625%), the fixed-rate notes entered into in connection with the Ikaria Acquisition (utilizing the interest rates of 4.875% and 5.50%) and the borrowings under the variable-rate revolving credit facility (utilizing the interest in effect at the acquisition date of 2.58%), including interest and amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount; and
•
the related income tax effects.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the acquisitions occurred on the assumed dates, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the cost of any integration activities, benefits from any synergies that may be derived from the acquisitions or net sales growth that may be anticipated.

Restructuring and Related Charges
During fiscal 2013, the Company launched a restructuring program designed to improve its cost structure ("the 2013 Mallinckrodt Program"). The 2013 Mallinckrodt Program includes actions across all segments, as well as within corporate functions. The Company expected to incur charges of $100.0 million to $125.0 million under this program as the specific actions required to execute on these initiatives are identified and approved, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2016. In addition to the 2013 Mallinckrodt Program, the Company has taken restructuring actions to generate synergies from its acquisitions.

Income Taxes
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $53.6 million and $34.1 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $66.7 million and $41.1 million for the three months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of negative 80.4% and negative 83.0% for the three months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized income tax benefits of $85.7 million and $44.4 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $150.5 million and $118.2 million for the six months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of negative 56.9% and negative 37.6% for the six months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 25, 2016, as compared with the three months ended March 27, 2015 increased by 2.6 percentage points. Included within this net increase was a 17.1 percentage point increase attributable to diminutive income from continuing operations before taxes for the three months ended March 27, 2015, partially offset by a 14.5 percentage point decrease predominately due to recent acquisitions, which resulted in more income in lower tax rate jurisdictions and less income in the higher tax rate U.S. jurisdiction relative to income in all jurisdictions. The change in the lower tax rate jurisdictions was primarily attributable to increased operating income partially offset by amortization. The change in the U.S. jurisdiction was primarily attributable to increased amortization and the cost of financing recent acquisitions. Of the 14.5 percentage point decrease to the tax rate, 9.5 percentage points can be attributed to the change in operating income and 5.0 percentage points related to changes in acquisition financing and amortization, as well as other non-acquisition related items.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 25, 2016, as compared with the six months ended March 27, 2015 decreased by 19.3 percentage points. This net decrease was predominately due to recent acquisitions, which resulted in more income in lower tax rate jurisdictions and less income in the higher tax rate U.S. jurisdiction relative to income in all jurisdictions. The change in the lower tax rate jurisdictions was primarily attributable to increased operating income partially offset by amortization. The change in the U.S. jurisdiction was primarily attributable to increased amortization and the cost of financing recent acquisitions. Of the 19.3 percentage point decrease to the tax rate, 12.8 percentage points can be attributed to the change in operating income and 6.5 percentage points related to changes in acquisition financing and amortization, as well as other non-acquisition related items.
As a part of the Ikaria integration, the Company entered into an internal installment sale transaction during the three months ended December 25, 2015. The Ikaria internal installment sale transaction resulted in a decrease of $537.6 million to the deferred tax liability associated with the Inomax and terlipressin intangible assets, a $521.9 million increase to the deferred tax liability associated with an installment sale note receivable, a $42.8 million increase to the current income tax liability, a $26.0 million increase to deferred tax charges and a $1.1 million increase to prepaid taxes.
As part of the Therakos integration, the Company entered into an internal installment sale transaction during the three months ended December 25, 2015. The Therakos internal installment sale transaction resulted in a decrease of $268.5 million to the deferred tax liability associated with the Cellex and XTS intangible assets, a $251.5 million increase to the deferred tax liability associated with an installment sale note receivable, a $17.3 million increase to the current income tax liability and a $0.3 million increase to prepaid taxes.
The Hemostasis Acquisition resulted in a net deferred tax asset increase of $1.2 million. Significant components of this increase include $26.1 million of deferred tax assets associated with net operating losses partially offset by $22.5 million of deferred tax liabilities associated with intangibles and $2.1 million associated with inventory.
During the three and six months ended March 25, 2016, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.2 million and $2.9 million associated with the CMDS business, as discussed in Note 3, in discontinued operations within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset for non-U.K. net operating losses of $29.5 million and a corresponding valuation allowance, which resulted in no net impact on income tax expense or benefit.
The Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, totaled $94.5 million at March 25, 2016 and $89.2 million at September 25, 2015. The net increase of $5.3 million primarily resulted from a net increase to current year activity of $10.0 million, which was partially offset by decreases from settlements of $1.9 million, net decreases to prior period tax positions of $1.9 million, and a decrease from a lapse of statute of limitations of $0.9 million. If favorably settled, $92.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits at March 25, 2016 would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The total amount of accrued interest related to these obligations was $37.4 million at March 25, 2016 and $41.7 million at September 25, 2015.

On January 19, 2016, Tyco International plc (“Tyco International”) announced it had entered into an agreement with the IRS to resolve certain disputes currently before the U.S. Tax Court. The disputes involve IRS audits of Tyco International for years in which companies that are now subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt were subsidiaries of Tyco International. Mallinckrodt is not a participant in the tax sharing agreement between Medtronic plc (as successor to Covidien plc), Tyco International and TE Connectivity and will not share in or be responsible for any payments to be made under the terms of the tentative resolution.
It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months, as a result of the resolution of various domestic and international examinations, appeals and litigation, additions related to prior period tax positions and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $37.6 million and the amount of related interest and penalties will decrease by up to $29.6 million. Included within such amounts are possible releases associated with the final settlement of the Tyco-controlled debt litigation.

Earnings per Share

In fiscal 2015, basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s restricted stock awards, issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Questcor in August 2014, were considered participating securities as holders were entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting term. Diluted earnings per share includes securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share during a reporting period, for which the Company includes all share-based compensation awards other than participating securities. Dilutive securities, including participating securities, are not included in the computation of loss per share when the Company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive.
In fiscal 2016, following the September 2015 vesting of substantially all restricted stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Questcor, the Company utilized the treasury stock method in calculating diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed using the weighted-average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 25, 2016 excludes approximately 1.4 million of equity awards because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive equity awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 27, 2015.

During the six months ended March 25, 2016, the gross carrying value of goodwill within the Specialty Brands segment decreased by $4.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in tax balances in the purchase price allocations, which included a decrease of $6.2 million from the Therakos Acquisition offset by an increase of $2.6 million from the Ikaria Acquisition. The remaining decrease in goodwill is attributed to a favorable net working capital settlement from the Therakos Acquisition offset by goodwill from the Hemostasis Acquisition.

During the three months ended March 25, 2016, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $16.9 million related to certain Specialty Brands in-process research and development intangible assets acquired as part of the CNS Therapeutics acquisition in fiscal 2013. The valuation method used to approximate fair value was based on the estimated discounted cash flows for the respective asset, and the impairment charges resulted from delays in anticipated FDA approval, higher than expected development costs and lower than previously anticipated commercial opportunities.
Intangible asset amortization expense within continuing operations was $175.0 million and $122.9 million during the three months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense within continuing operations was $348.4 million and $247.7 million during the six months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets owned by the Company is expected to be as follows:

Equity

Share Repurchases

On November 19, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a $500.0 million share repurchase program (the “November 2015 Program”). The November 2015 Program commenced after the $300.0 million share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on January 23, 2015 (the “January 2015 Program”) was completed in the first fiscal quarter of 2016. On March 16, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $350.0 million share repurchase program (the “March 2016 Program”) which will commence upon the completion of the November 2015 Program. These programs have no time limit or expiration date, and the Company currently expects to fully utilize each program.
