Included in segment revenues are product sales that were sold through the Anda Distribution business once the Anda Distribution business had sold the product to a third-party customer. These sales are included in segment results and are reclassified into revenues from discontinued operations through a reduction of Corporate revenues which eliminates the sales made by the Anda Distribution business through October 3, 2016 from results of continuing operations.

Our US Specialized Therapeutics business is focused on maintaining a leading position in the therapeutic areas in which we participate within the U.S. market. Our sales and marketing efforts focus on targeted activities, including direct-to-consumer advertising to increase consumer awareness of our products and also to engage specialty physicians and surgeons through our sales professionals and other programs to ensure they are fully informed about our product offerings. For reimbursed products, we also contract with payors to ensure that our products are widely available to patients.

In our US General Medicine business, we market our branded products through our active sales professionals in the United States. Our sales and marketing efforts focus on both general practitioners and specialty physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of particular medical conditions. We also conduct targeted activities, including direct-to-consumer advertising to increase consumer awareness of our products. We believe that our current sales force structure gives us a competitive advantage in launching and promoting products due to our ability to reach a larger target audience of both general practitioners and specialists. For reimbursed products, we also contract with payors to ensure that our products are widely available to patients.

Our International business is focused on maintaining a leading position by offering a consistent and reliable supply of quality branded and aesthetic products in key markets. We have maintained an ongoing effort to enhance efficiencies and reduce costs in our manufacturing operations.

We devote significant resources to the R&D of branded products, biosimilars and proprietary drug delivery technologies. R&D activities are expensed as incurred and consist of self-funded R&D costs, the costs associated with work performed under collaborative R&D agreements, regulatory fees, and acquisition and license related milestone payments, if any.

As of December 31, 2018, we are developing a number of products, some of which utilize novel drug delivery systems, through a combination of internal and collaborative programs including but not limited to the following:

We also have a number of products in development as part of our life-cycle management strategy for our existing product portfolio.

The Company evaluates segment performance for its three operating segments based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for our segments represents net revenues less cost of sales (defined below), selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative expenses. Included in segment revenues for 2015 and 2016 are product sales that were sold through the Anda Distribution business once the Anda Distribution business had sold the product to a third-party customer. These sales are included in segment results and are reclassified into revenues from discontinued operations through a reduction of Corporate revenues which eliminates the sales made by the Anda Distribution business through October 3, 2016 from results of continuing operations. Cost of sales for these products in discontinued operations is equal to our average third party cost of sales for third party branded products distributed by Anda Distribution. The Company does not evaluate the following items at the segment level:

~~The Company defines segment net revenues as product sales and other revenue derived from branded products or licensing agreements.~~

Cost of sales within segment contribution includes standard production and packaging costs for the products we manufacture, third-party acquisition costs for products manufactured by others, profit-sharing or royalty payments for products sold pursuant to licensing agreements and finished goods inventory reserve charges. Cost of sales included within segment contribution does not include non-standard production costs, such as non-finished goods inventory obsolescence charges, manufacturing variances and excess capacity utilization charges, where applicable. Cost of sales does not include amortization or impairment costs for acquired product rights or other acquired intangibles.

As of December 31, 2018, we conducted the majority of our branded drug delivery R&D activities in Irvine, California. We are presently developing a number of products through a combination of internal and collaborative programs.

The Company evaluates segment performance for its three operating segments based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for our segments represents net revenues less cost of sales (defined below), selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative expenses. Included in segment revenues for 2016 are product sales that were sold through our former Anda Distribution business once the Anda Distribution business had sold the product to a third-party customer. These sales are included in segment results and are reclassified into revenues from discontinued operations through a reduction of Corporate revenues which eliminates the sales made by our former Anda Distribution business through October 3, 2016 from results of continuing operations. Cost of sales for these products in discontinued operations is equal to our average third-party cost of sales for third party branded products distributed by our former Anda Distribution business. The Company does not evaluate the following items at the segment level:

The Company defines segment net revenues as product sales and other revenue derived from our products or licensing agreements.

Cost of sales within segment contribution includes standard production and packaging costs for the products we manufacture, third-party acquisition costs for products manufactured by others, profit-sharing or royalty payments for products sold pursuant to licensing agreements and finished goods inventory reserve charges. Cost of sales within segment contribution excludes non-standard production costs, such as non-finished goods inventory obsolescence charges, manufacturing variances and excess capacity utilization charges, where applicable. Cost of sales does not include amortization or impairment costs for acquired product rights or other acquired intangibles.

Selling and marketing expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, product promotion costs, distribution costs, professional service costs, insurance, depreciation and travel costs.

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, transaction costs, insurance, depreciation, litigation ~~and settlement~~ costs and professional services costs which are general in nature and attributable to the segment.

In US Specialized Therapeutics, US General Medicine and International operations, we sell our brand and aesthetic ~~pharmaceutical~~ products primarily to drug wholesalers, retailers and distributors, including national retail drug and food store chains, hospitals, clinics, mail order retailers, government agencies and managed healthcare providers such as health maintenance organizations and other institutions. Certain medical aesthetic products and devices are also sold directly to physicians.

Sales to certain of our customers within the U.S. and Canada accounted for 10% or more of our annual revenues during the past three years. The following table illustrates customers and the respective percentage of revenues which they comprised in each of the last three years:

Our significant customers comprise a large part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in North America. As a result, a small number of large wholesaler distributors control a significant share of the market for our products. No other countries outside the U.S. and Canada had 10% or more of global sales.

The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. In our US Specialized Therapeutics, US General Medicine and International businesses, we compete with different companies to develop competitive products, in certain product categories, and within each applicable product category, upon dosage strengths and drug delivery systems. Our competitors include the major brand name manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. In addition to product development, other competitive factors in the pharmaceutical industry include product quality, price, reputation, service and access to proprietary and technical information. It is possible that developments by others will make our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete.

Competing in the brand and aesthetic product business requires us to identify and successfully bring to market new products embodying technological innovations. Successful marketing of brand and aesthetic products depends primarily on the ability to communicate the effectiveness, safety and value of these products to healthcare professionals in private practice and group practices and to receive formulary status from managed care organizations. We anticipate that our brand and aesthetic product offerings will support our existing areas of therapeutic focus. Based upon business conditions and other factors, we regularly reevaluate our business strategies and may from time to time reallocate our resources from one therapeutic area to another, withdraw from a therapeutic area or add an additional therapeutic area in order to maximize our overall growth opportunities.

Many of our competitors, except for those in the Medical Aesthetics business, have been in business for a longer period of time, have a greater number of products on the market and have greater financial and other resources than we do. When we directly compete with these companies for certain contracted business or for the same markets and/or products, their financial strength could prevent us from capturing a meaningful share of those markets.

In September 2016, we introduced our Social Contract with Patients, in which we pledged to invest in new and innovative treatments, make our treatments accessible and affordable to patients, provide enhanced patient assistance programs (including in some cases free medicine) to eligible patients and maintain safety reporting and quality standards. Additionally, in our Social Contract with Patients, we committed to limit price increases. If we increase prices on our products, we will limit increases to once per year, and only increase the list price of a product by single-digit percentages. Our expectation is that net price increases, which are price increases after discounts and rebates, would be in the low to mid- single digit range.

For the full-year 2018, our net price on U.S. products decreased by an average 0.1 percent, and list price increases averaged 6.4 percent. The difference between the net price decreases and the list price increases is due to higher rebates and discounts.

As of December 31, 2018, we manufactured certain of our own finished products at our plants. We also have development and manufacturing capabilities for raw material and active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) and intermediate ingredients to support our R&D internal product development efforts in our Campbell, California, Irvine, California and Liverpool, United Kingdom locations.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to extensive regulatory oversight and could be interrupted at any time. Refer to Legal Matters in “NOTE 25 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document.

While we manufacture certain of our own finished products at our plants, we are dependent on third parties for the supply of many of our finished products. In addition, we are dependent on third parties for the supply of the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture our commercialized products, including the API and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients used in many of these products. We are required to identify the supplier(s) of all the raw materials for our products in the drug applications that we file with the FDA in the U.S. and other regulatory authorities outside the U.S. If raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier specified in a drug application, we would be required to qualify a substitute supplier with the FDA and with other regulatory authorities outside the U.S., which could interrupt manufacturing of the affected product. To the extent practicable, we attempt to identify more than one supplier in each drug application. However, some raw materials are available only from a single source and, in many of our drug applications, only one supplier of raw materials has been identified, even in instances where multiple sources exist.

Furthermore, we obtain a significant portion of our raw materials from foreign suppliers. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA regulation, customs clearance, various import duties, foreign currency risk and other government clearances. Acts of governments outside the U.S. may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of our products. In addition, any changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for R&D prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — If we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies of raw materials, our ability to deliver our products to the market may be impeded.” and — “The supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by ~~recent~~ regulations promulgated by the European Union.” in this document.

We believe patent protection of our proprietary products is important to our products. Our success with our branded products will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain, and successfully defend if challenged, patent or other proprietary protection for such products. We currently have a number of U.S. and foreign patents issued or pending. However, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or as to the enforceable scope of the claims of the patent. Accordingly, our patents may not prevent other companies from developing similar or functionally equivalent products or from successfully challenging the validity of our patents. If our patent applications are not allowed or, even if allowed, if such patents are circumvented or not upheld in a court of law or in administrative proceedings, including oppositions, re-examinations or inter partes review (“IPR”), our ability to competitively market our patented products and technologies may be significantly reduced. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by competitors, in which case our ability to

commercially market these products may be diminished. For example, in October 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an adverse trial decision finding that the four asserted patents covering our Restasis^® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic

Emulsion) 0.05% product are ~~invalid.~~invalid, and on November 13, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed that ruling. From time to time, we may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to develop, manufacture and market our products. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercially market such products may be inhibited or prevented. In addition, patents covering, for example, Actonel^® (certain indications), ~~Aczone~~^® ~~5%,~~ Androderm^®, ~~Botox~~Carafate^®~~(for hyperhidrosis)~~, ~~Carafate~~Minastrin^®, Estrace^® Cream, Namenda XR^®, Femhrt^®, INFed^® ~~and~~, Namenda^® (IR), Pylera^® and Rapaflo^® products have expired and we have no further patent protection on these products. Generic versions of our Minastrin^® product entered the market during 2017 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. Generic ~~Aczone~~^® ~~5% entered the market in October 2017. Generic~~versions of our Estrace^® product entered the market in January 2018, generic versions of our Namenda XR^® product entered the market in March 2018, and generic versions of our Rapaflo^® product entered the market in December 2018.

We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our partners, customers, employees and consultants. It is possible that these agreements will be breached or will not be enforceable in every instance, and we will not have adequate remedies for any such breach. It is also possible that our trade secrets will otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors.

We may find it necessary to initiate litigation to enforce our patent and trademark rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights and proprietary technologies can often be protracted and expensive and, as with litigation generally, the outcome is inherently uncertain.

Litigation alleging infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights may be costly and time consuming. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights and may prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products.” and Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document.

The following discussion focuses on key markets to the Company’s overall business.

All ~~U.S.pharmaceutical~~U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Allergan, are subject to extensive, complex and evolving regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA, and to a lesser extent, by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state government agencies, as well as by various regulatory agencies in foreign countries where our products or product candidates are being manufactured and/or marketed. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of our products. In our international markets, the approval, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products is similar to that of the United States with some variations dependent upon local market dynamics.

In the United States, FDA approval is required before any dosage form of any new drug, including an off-patent equivalent of a previously approved drug, can be marketed. The process for obtaining governmental approval to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time-consuming and costly, and the extent to which it may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments cannot be predicted. We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and shipping new products. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — If we are unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products, our operating results will suffer.” and “— Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.” in this document.

All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. We file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) when we seek approval for drugs with active ingredients and/or with dosage strengths, dosage forms, delivery systems or pharmacokinetic profiles that have not been previously approved by the FDA. Generally, NDAs are filed for new chemical entities or for a new dosage form of previously approved drugs.

For innovative or non-generic new drugs, aan FDA-approved NDA is required before the drug may be marketed in the United States. The NDA must contain data to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective for its intended uses and that it will be manufactured to appropriate quality standards. In order to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, aan NDA generally must include or reference pre-clinical studies and clinical data from controlled trials in humans. For a new chemical entity, this generally means that

lengthy, uncertain and rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing must be conducted. For compounds that have a record of prior or current use, it may be possible to utilize existing data or medical literature and limited new testing to support aan NDA. Any pre-clinical testing that we wish to rely upon for FDA action must comply with the FDA’s good laboratory practice and other requirements. Clinical testing in human subjects must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s good clinical practice and other requirements. In order to initiate a clinical trial, the sponsor must submit an ~~Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”)~~IND to the FDA or meet one of the narrow exemptions that exist from the IND requirement.

The FDA has the authority to either approve or not approve NDAs, and if an application is not approved, additional data (clinical, non-clinical, manufacturing or quality data, among other types of data) is generally required. In addition, the FDA may approve aan NDA subject to post-approval studies or monitoring requirements, or require that other risk management measures be utilized when the product is commercialized. There are also requirements to conduct pediatric trials for all new NDAs and supplements to NDAs for pharmaceutical products that may be used in the pediatric patient population, unless a waiver or deferral applies.

Once approved, the NDA is subject to life-cycle management regulations (for example, annual reports) in order to maintain product registrations. A Supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) is required for changes that require FDA evaluation and/or approval prior to implementation, including the transfer of certain products from one manufacturing site to another, a change in API supplier, or a new indication or dosage form. In addition, a change in the manufacturing site for certain products may only be approved once new bioequivalency studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied. In addition, the FDA may require post-marketing studies.

To obtain FDA approval of NDAs and sNDAs, our manufacturing procedures and operations must conform to FDA quality system and control requirements generally referred to as current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), as defined in Title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, and cGMP must be adhered to throughout the ~~life-cycle~~life cycle of a product, as these regulations encompass all aspects of the production process from receipt and qualification of components to distribution procedures for finished products. cGMP standards are evolving standards; thus, we must continue to expend substantial time, money and effort in all production and quality control areas to maintain compliance with these standards. The evolving and complex nature of regulatory requirements, the broad authority and discretion of the FDA, and the generally high level of regulatory oversight results in the continuing possibility that we may be adversely affected by regulatory actions despite our efforts to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

We are subject to the periodic inspection of our facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of our products by the FDA, the DEA and other health authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to assess compliance with applicable regulations. In addition, in connection with its review of our applications for new products, the FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes comply with cGMP and other FDA regulations. Among other things, the FDA may withhold approval of NDAs, sNDAs, or other product applications of a facility if deficiencies are found at that facility. Vendors that supply finished products or components to us that we use to manufacture, package and label products are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections.

Following such inspections, the FDA may issue notices on Form 483 and Warning Letters that may require us to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. A Form 483 notice may be issued at the conclusion of aan FDA inspection and lists issues the FDA investigators believe may violate cGMP or other FDA regulations. FDA guidelines specify that a Warning Letter be issued only for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly address the correction to the satisfaction of the FDA may be expected to result in an enforcement action.

Additionally, FDA reviews promotional and marketing materials for compliance with the FFDCA and FDA regulations. FDA may issue letters or take other enforcement action if FDA believes promotional and marketing materials do not comply with the law and regulations.

Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of NDAs or sNDAs or other product application enforcement actions, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Although we have internal compliance programs, if these programs do not meet regulatory agency standards or if our compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — Extensive industry

regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.” in this document. The FDA can also significantly delay the approval of any pending NDA or other regulatory submissions under the Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery and Illegal Gratuities Policy Act.

Medical devices are subject to regulation by the FDA, state agencies and foreign government ~~health agencies in the United States.~~health. FDA regulations, as well as various U.S. federal and state laws, govern the development, clinical testing, manufacturing, labeling, record keeping and marketing of medical device ~~products.~~products agencies in the United States. Our medical device product candidates, including our breast implants, must undergo rigorous clinical testing and an extensive government regulatory clearance or approval process prior to sale in the United States and other countries. The lengthy process of clinical development and submissions for ~~approvals,~~clearance or approval, and the continuing need for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Regulatory clearance or approval, when and if obtained, may be limited in scope, and may significantly limit the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed. ~~Approved~~Cleared or approved products and their manufacturers are subject to ongoing review, and discovery of previously unknown problems with products may result in restrictions on their manufacture, sale, and/or use or require their withdrawal from the market.

Our medical device products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we market in the United States must have a 510(k) clearance or a Premarket Approval Application (“PMA”) in accordance with the FFDCA and its implementing regulations. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes, depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of controls that are needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed to pose a lower risk are placed in either Class I or Class II, and devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or a device deemed to be not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, are placed in Class III. In general, a Class III device cannot be marketed in the United States unless the FDA approves the device after submission of a PMA, ~~application,~~ and any changes to the device subsequent to initial FDA approval must also be reviewed and approved by the FDA. The majority of our medical device products, including our breast implants, are regulated as Class III medical devices. A Class III device may have significant additional obligations imposed in its conditions of approval, and the time in which it takes to obtain approval can be long. Compliance with regulatory requirements is assured through periodic, unannounced facility inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of our subcontractors or other ~~third party~~third-party manufacturers. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions: warning letters or untitled letters; fines, injunctions and civil penalties; recall or seizure of our products; operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production; refusing our request for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new products; withdrawing 510(k) clearance or ~~PMAs~~PMA approvals that are already granted; and criminal prosecution.

A clinical trial is almost always required to support a PMA application and is sometimes required for a 510(k) premarket notification. Clinical trials generally require submission of an application for an investigational device exemption (“IDE”), which must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically ~~sound, as well as~~sound. A study sponsor must obtain approval byfor its IDE from the FDA, and it must also obtain approval of its study from the Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) overseeing the trial. The results of clinical testing may not be sufficient to obtain approval of the ~~applicable~~investigational device.

Once a device is approved, the manufacture and distribution of the device remains subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including Quality System Regulation requirements, which involve design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process. Medical device manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their establishments and list their manufactured devices with the FDA and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with regulatory requirements. Manufacturers must also report to the FDA if their devices may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that could likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or if the manufacturer conducts a field correction or product recall or removal to reduce a risk to health posed by a device or to remedy a violation of the FFDCA that may present a health risk. Further, the FDA continues to regulate device labeling, and prohibits the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses along with other labeling restrictions. If a manufacturer or distributor fails to comply with any of these regulatory requirements, or if safety concerns with a device arise, the FDA may take legal or regulatory action, including civil or criminal penalties, suspension, withdrawal or delay in the issuance of clearances or approvals, or seizure or recall of products, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect upon us.

The FDA imposes a number of complex regulatory requirements on entities that advertise and promote pharmaceutical products and medical devices, including, but not limited to, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, “off-label” promotion, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities including internet marketing. Pharmaceutical

products and medical devices can only be marketed for indications approved or cleared by the FDA. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties, the issuance of warning letters directing a company to correct deviations from FDA standards, a requirement that future advertising and promotional materials be pre-cleared by the FDA, and federal and state civil and criminal investigations and prosecutions.

U.S. government reimbursement programs include Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs established according to statute, government regulations and policy. Federal law requires all pharmaceutical manufacturers, as a condition of having their products receive federal reimbursement under Medicaid and Medicare Part B, to pay rebates to state Medicaid programs on units of their pharmaceuticals that are dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries. With enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), as amended, manufacturer rebate liability for brand drugs increased from 15.1% to 23.1% of the Average Manufacturer Price, or the difference between the Average Manufacturer Price and the drug’s Best Price (i.e., the lowest net sales price to a non-government customer during a specified period), whichever is greater. In some states, supplemental rebates are required as a condition of including the manufacturer’s drug on ~~the~~a state’s Preferred Drug ~~List.~~List, which if agreed upon would generally permit access to a manufacturer’s product without utilization management (e.g., step therapy).

The ACA prescribed that the coverage gap phase of the Medicare Part D benefit be closed such that, by 2020, beneficiaries will pay co-insurance of 25% (or co-payment equivalents) of the cost of prescription drugs dispensed to them under their applicable Medicare Part D plans, until they reach the catastrophic phase of the Medicare Part D benefit. As such, the coverage gap or “donut hole” will be effectively closed beginning in the 2020 plan year. The cost of closing the donut hole is being borne in part by brand drug companies as well as Medicare Part D plan sponsors and the federal government. Beginning in 2011, brand drug manufacturers were required to provide a 50% discount on their drugs while beneficiaries are in the coverage ~~gap.~~gap; the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, however, increased this discount to 70% beginning in 2019. Additionally, beginning in 2013, the ~~government/~~government and Medicare Part D plan sponsors began providing additional subsidies for brand name drugs bought by seniors who enter the coverage gap. ~~When the~~The government/sponsor share ~~which started at 2.5%, but increases~~originally was designed to provide a 25% discount in the cost of drugs by 2020, however the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 revised this percentage down to 5%. Consequently, the combined industry discounts and government subsidies still will add up to 75% of brand name drug ~~costs. On February 9, 2018, Congress enacted a new budget resolution that contains new requirements relating~~costs by 2020, however pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to ~~Medicare and Medicaid that may have financial implications for the Company. We are currently evaluating the financial impact of these new requirements on our operations.~~extend far greater discounts under this coverage gap program than originally was contemplated.

On January 21, 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final ~~rules~~rule on the calculation of AMP, Best Price, and the Unit Rebate ~~Amounts~~Amount for the Medicaid ~~program;~~Drug Rebate Program; the final rule took effect in April 2016 (for most provisions). Allergan has implemented ~~the~~ required changes to its Medicaid rebate calculations and policies, effective ~~with~~for its Q2 2016 calculations and pricing submissions. Notably, however, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program requires compliance with complex statutory pricing formulas and requirements, and manufacturers frequently are required to adopt “reasonable assumptions,” as permitted by CMS guidance, where the regulations are silent or unclear. Any changes in existing CMS guidance could affect our compliance efforts, existing reasonable assumptions, and rebate liability. We are also required to discount products to authorized users of the Federal Supply Schedule, under which additional laws and requirements apply.

The ACA also expanded the government’s 340B drug discount program by ~~increasing the category~~adding new categories of ~~entities~~covered entity types that are qualified to participate in the program and benefit from its deeply discounted drug pricing. The ACA ~~obligates~~also obligated the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which administers the 340B program, to update the Pharmaceutical Pricing Agreement, which each manufacturer must sign to participate in the 340B program, to require each manufacturer to offer the 340B price to covered entities if the manufacturer makes ~~the drug product~~its drugs available to any other purchaser at any price, and to report ~~the~~statutory ceiling prices for its drugs to the government. HRSA issued this update in late 2016 and the Company subsequently signed and executed an amendment to our agreement. In addition, on January 5, 2017, HRSA finalized regulations that, among other things, implement rules regarding civil monetary penalties for knowing and intentional overcharges of 340B covered entities by pharmaceutical manufacturers; these rules ~~currently are scheduled to become~~became effective on ~~July~~January 1, ~~2018.~~2019.

In connection with the commercialization of our products, we ~~have obtained authorization~~often are required to ~~receive reimbursement at varying levels~~negotiate and enter into discount and rebate agreements for ~~the cost of certain~~our products ~~and related treatments from~~with government ~~authorities~~ and private health insurers, ~~and other organizations, such as~~including Health Maintenance Organizations (“HMOs”) and Managed Care Organizations (“MCOs”). These discount and rebate agreements commonly are required to ensure the accessibility of our drugs to beneficiaries of the individual health insurance plans, whether sponsored by the government or a commercial entity. Indeed, the sale of our existing and any future products largely is dependent on the extent to which our products are covered by health insurance. Any changes to product coverage requirements, including pursuant to federal law or regulation, or government or private drug cost containment measures could have an adverse effect on our business operations.

Additionally, we may in the future ~~and~~-- as we have in the past ~~received~~-- receive requests for information, sometimes in the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas, from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the European ~~Competition~~ Commission ~~and are subject to ongoing FTC and European Competition Commission investigations.~~- Competition. Any adverse outcome of these types of investigations or actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business—Federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of branded and generic products could adversely affect our business.” Also refer to

Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document.

As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003 (“MMA”), companies are required to file with the FTC and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of brand drugs. This requirement could affect the manner in which drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with competitor pharmaceutical companies and could result generally in an increase in private-party litigation against pharmaceutical companies. The impact of this requirement, and the potential private-party lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand name and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect our business. For example, beginning in ~~January 2009, the FTC and the State of California~~April 2013, private parties have filed ~~a lawsuit~~lawsuits against us alleging that ~~our~~a settlement ~~with Solvay related to our~~of a patent litigation between a subsidiary of the Company and potential generic competitor that had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for a generic version of ~~Androgel~~Loestrin^® is unlawful. ~~Beginning in February 2009, several private parties purporting to represent various classes of plaintiffs filed similar lawsuits.~~ Those lawsuits, as well as additional suits challenging the validity of our settlements related to Asacol^®, and Namenda^® ~~and Loestrin~~^®~~24 and generic versions of Actos~~^®~~, Cipro~~^®~~, and Lidoderm~~^®, remain pending. Refer to Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document.

Federal, state, local and foreign laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions, also govern us. In addition, we are subject, as are all manufacturers generally, to numerous and increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances and the discharge of pollutants into the air and water. Environmental permits and controls are required for some of our operations, and these permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation by the issuing authorities. Our environmental capital expenditures and costs for environmental compliance may increase in the future as a result of changes in environmental laws and regulations or increased manufacturing activities at any of our facilities. We could be adversely affected by any failure to comply with environmental laws, including the costs of undertaking a clean-up at a site to which our wastes were transported.

We encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries, including countries that are members of the European Union (the “EU”). Pharmaceutical manufacturers are regulated in the EU by the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”) and national health authorities. All manufacturers are required to submit medicinal products, including generic versions of previously approved products and new strengths, dosages and formulations of previously approved products, to the EMA and its member states for review and marketing authorization before such products are placed on the market in the EU.

Marketing authorizations are granted to applicants after the relevant health authority issues a positive assessment of quality, safety and efficacy of the product. In order to receive such assessment, applicants must submit applications, which must contain the results of pre-clinical tests, pharmaceutical tests, and clinical trials with respect to originator products. All of these tests or trials must be conducted in accordance within European regulations and must allow the reviewing body to evaluate the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicinal product.

In addition to obtaining marketing authorization for each product, all member states require that a manufacturer’s facilities obtain approval from the national authority. The EU has a code of good manufacturing practices that each manufacturer must follow and comply with. Regulatory authorities in the EU may conduct inspections of the manufacturing facilities to review procedures, operating systems and personnel qualifications. Refer to “ITEM 1A. — RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — The supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by ~~recent~~ regulations promulgated by the European Union.” in this document.

In the EU, member states regulate the pricing of pharmaceutical products, and in some cases, the formulation and dosing of products. This regulation is handled by individual member state national health services. These individual regulatory bodies can result in considerable price differences and product availability among member states. The implementation of tendering systems for the pricing of pharmaceuticals in several countries generally impacts drug pricing; generally “tendering” refers to a system that requires bids to be submitted to the ~~government~~relevant national health services organizations by competing manufacturers to be the exclusive, or one of a few, supplier(s) of a product ~~in a particular country.~~for such tender.

Further, faced with major budget constraints, many European countries have resorted to price cuts or claim-back schemes that affect both innovative and generic pharmaceuticals. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business—Global economic conditions could harm us.” in this document.

Medical device products that are marketed in the European Union must comply with the requirements of the Medical Device Directive (the “MDD”), as implemented in the national legislation of the European Union member states. The MDD, as implemented,

provides for a regulatory regime with respect to the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling and adverse event reporting for medical devices to ensure that medical devices marketed in the European Union are safe and effective for their intended uses. Medical devices that comply with the MDD, as implemented, are entitled to bear a Conformité Européenne (“~~CE’~~CE”) marking evidencing such compliance and may be marketed in the European Union. Failure to comply with these domestic and international regulatory requirements could affect our ability to market and sell our products in these countries. For example, following the non-renewal of our textured breast implant CE Mark licenses in Europe pending the request for additional information by LNE-GMED, the notified body responsible for certification of our breast implants, Allergan suspended sales of textured breast implants in Europe and withdrew the remaining textured breast implants then on the market in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2018.

In Canada, pharmaceutical manufacturers are regulated by the Therapeutic Products Directorate (the “TPD”) which derives its authority from the Canadian federal government under the Food and Drugs Act and the Controlled Drug and Substances Act. The TPD evaluates and monitors the safety, effectiveness and quality of pharmaceutical products. Products are officially approved for marketing in Canada following receipt of a market authorization, or “Notice of Compliance” (a “NOC”), which is subject to the Food and Drug Regulations. Issuance of a NOC for generic drug products is also subject to the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations (the “NOC Regulations”) under the Patent Act.

The NOC Regulations allow branded drug marketers to list patents ~~relating to~~that contain a claim for a medicinal ingredient, a claim for the formulation containing the medicinal ingredient, ~~formulation,~~a claim for the dosage form, or a claim for the use of the medicinal ingredient in their branded drug on a patent register maintained by ~~Health Canada.~~the TPD. In its abbreviated new drug submission, a generic applicant must address each patent listed against the reference product by making at least one statutory allowed allegation (for example, alleging that the patent is invalid or would not be infringed). If the generic applicant alleges invalidity or non-infringement, it must provide the branded manufacturer with an explanation of its allegations. Upon receipt of the explanation, the branded manufacturer may ~~apply to~~commence an action against the generic applicant in the Federal Court of Canada for a declaration that the making, constructing, using or selling of the generic applicant’s drug would infringe any patent that is subject of an ~~Order prohibiting~~allegation. The NOC Regulations prohibits the Minister of Health ~~Canada~~ from issuing an NOC to the generic applicant that is a ~~NOC~~party to the action, for a 24-month period from the ~~generic. Health Canada may not issue a NOC~~day on which the action is brought, until the ~~earlier~~action is determined by the court. The branded manufacturer who brought the action, may also renounce application of the ~~determination of~~24-month period but this could allow for early market entry, subject to data protection and the ~~application by the court after a hearing on the allegations, or the expiration of 24 months from the commencement of the application.~~generic applicant’s willingness to launch at risk.

Facilities, procedures, operations and/or testing of products are subject to periodic inspection by Health Canada and the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate. In addition, Health Canada conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems are in compliance with the good manufacturing practices in Canada, Drug Establishment Licensing requirements and other provisions of the NOC Regulations. Competitors are subject to similar regulations and inspections.

Each Canadian province and territory also provides a comprehensive public drug program, which controls drug pricing and reimbursement and is responsible for ensuring eligible patients receive drugs through public funding. The provinces and territories in Canada operate drug benefit programs through which eligible recipients receive drugs through public funding; these drugs are listed on provincial or territorial Drug Benefit Formularies (“Formularies”). Eligible recipients include seniors, persons on social assistance, low-income earners, and those with certain specified conditions or diseases. Formulary listings are also used by private payors to reimburse generic products. To be listed in a Formulary, drug products must have been issued a NOC and must comply with each jurisdiction’s individual review process. Currently, Canada’s provinces and territories are looking at national competitive bidding processes/tendering of drugs, which may affect the sustainability of the industry and the supply of pharmaceuticals.

Finally, Canada has reached a trade agreement with the European Union ~~(“CETA”~~(the “Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement”) in which it has implemented a form of patent term extensions and certain procedural amendments to the NOC Regulations. Canada is further involved in trade negotiations with ten Pacific countries (the “Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific ~~Partnership (CPTPP)”~~Partnership”), which could lead to further changes to Canada’s intellectual property framework and affect our business.

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations in the United States and abroad. Our environment, health and safety group monitors our operations around the world, providing us with an overview of regulatory requirements and overseeing the implementation of our standards for compliance. We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations in each jurisdiction where we have a business presence, and we periodically audit our manufacturing and R&D facilities for compliance with all federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we continue to make capital expenditures for environmental protection, we do not anticipate any significant expenditure in order to

comply with such laws and regulations that would have a material impact on our earnings or competitive position. We are not aware of any pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We cannot assure, however, that environmental problems relating to facilities owned or operated by us will not develop in the future, and we cannot predict whether any such problems, if they were to develop, could require significant expenditures on our part.

Climate change presents risks to our operations, including the potential for additional regulatory requirements and associated costs, and the potential for more frequent and severe weather events and water availability challenges that may impact our facilities and those of our suppliers. These potential risks are integrated into the Company’s business planning including investment in reducing energy, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. We cannot provide assurance that physical risks to our facilities and supply chain due to climate change will not occur in the future; however we do not believe these risks are material to our business at this time.

In addition, we are unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste disposal. Refer to “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS — Risks Related to Our Business — Our business will continue to expose us to risks of environmental liabilities.” in this document.

Consistent with the United States pharmaceutical industry, our business experiences seasonality, with the first quarter of each year typically being the lowest revenue quarter for our products. In addition, our aesthetics products, including our ~~breast aesthetics and~~ Botox^® cosmetic indications, have tended to be marginally higher during the second and fourth quarters, presumably in advance of the summer vacation and holiday seasons. Fluctuations of our sales are also impacted by the effect of promotional activity, which cause non-seasonal variability in sales trends.

As a result of the extent of our supply chain, backlog of orders is not material to our business.

As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, we had approximately ~~17,800~~16,900 employees. Of our employees, approximately ~~2,200~~2,150 were engaged to support R&D functions, ~~4,850~~4,900 supported Cost of Goods Sold functions, ~~9,100~~8,450 supported sales, marketing and distribution functions, and ~~1,650~~1,400 supported administrative functions.

Any statements made in this report that are not statements of historical fact or that refer to estimated or anticipated future events are forward‑looking statements, as contemplated in the Private Securities ~~Litgiation~~Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based our forward‑looking statements on management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time these statements are made. Such forward‑looking statements reflect our current perspective of our business, future performance, existing trends and information as of the date of this filing. These include, but are not limited to, our beliefs about future revenue and expense levels and growth rates, prospects related to our strategic initiatives and business strategies, including the integration of, and synergies associated with, strategic acquisitions, express or implied assumptions about government regulatory action or inaction, anticipated product approvals and launches, business initiatives and product development activities, assessments related to clinical trial results, product performance and competitive environment, and anticipated financial performance.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “estimate,” “continue,” or “pursue,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward‑looking statements. The statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We caution the reader that these statements are based on certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, certain important factors may affect our actual operating results and could cause such results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward‑looking statements. We believe the risks and uncertainties discussed under the section entitled “Risks Related to Our Business,” and other risks and uncertainties detailed herein and from time to time in our SEC filings, may cause our actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in any forward‑looking statement.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. The following discussion highlights some of these risks and speaks as of the date of this document, including the assets held for sale. These and other risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

While global economic conditions have been fairly stable as a whole in recent years, continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential geopolitical issues and economic policy uncertainty, particularly in areas in which we operate, could potentially cause economic and market instability in the future and could adversely affect the Company’s business, including the Company’s financial performance.

Challenging economic conditions could result in tighter credit conditions. The cost and availability of credit may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads, which could adversely affect the ability of third-party distributors, partners, manufacturers and suppliers to buy inventory or raw materials and to perform their obligations under agreements with us, which could disrupt our operations, and which could adversely affect the liquidity and financial conditions of our customers.

Global efforts towards health care cost containment continue to exert pressure on product pricing and market access. In many international markets, government-mandated pricing actions have reduced prices of patented drugs. Some countries may be subject to periods of financial instability or may have reduced resources to spend on healthcare or may be or will be in the future subject to economic sanctions, and our business in these countries may be disproportionately affected by these changes. In addition, the currencies of some countries may depreciate against the U.S. Dollar substantially and if the Company is unable to offset the impact of such depreciation, then the Company’s financial performance within such countries could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products, our operating results will suffer.

Our future results of operations depend to a significant extent upon our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products in a timely manner. There are numerous difficulties in developing and commercializing new products, including:

As a result of these and other difficulties, products currently in development by us may or may not receive timely regulatory approvals necessary for marketing by us or other third‑party partners, or approvals at all. ~~This risk because of the~~In addition, there are uncertainties, ~~higher~~high costs and lengthy time frames associated with R&D of our proprietary products and the ~~inherent unproven~~ market acceptance of such ~~products.~~products is inherently unproven. Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate as the amount we spend to research and develop, promote, acquire or license new products, technologies and businesses changes. If any of our products ~~or any products that we sell pursuant to license, distribution or similar agreements with third‑party partners~~ are not approved in a timely manner or, when ~~acquired or developed and~~ approved, cannot be successfully manufactured or commercialized in a timely manner, our operating results could be adversely affected. We cannot guarantee that any investment we make in developing products will be recouped, even if we are successful in commercializing those products. Refer to “Our expenditures may not result in commercially successful products.”

Developing and commercializing branded pharmaceutical products is generally more costly than developing and commercializing generic products. In order to grow and achieve success in our business, we must continually identify, develop, acquire and license new products that we can ultimately market. In the future, we anticipate continuing and increasing our product development expenditures. There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in pharmaceutical research and development, and there is a high rate of failure inherent in new drug discovery and development. Failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after substantial investment. New product candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited commercial success because of efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and payer reimbursement, limited scope of approved uses, difficulty or excessive costs to manufacture, or infringement of the patents or intellectual property rights of others. Products that do reach the market may ultimately be subject to recalls or other suspensions in sales. Delays and uncertainties in the FDA approval process and the approval processes in other countries can result in delays in product launches and lost market opportunity. Because there is a high rate of failure inherent in the research and development process of new products, there is a significant risk that funds invested by the Company in research and development will not generate financial returns. The Company cannot be certain when or whether any of its products currently under development will be approved or launched or whether, once launched, such products will be commercially successful.

We may be required to spend several years and incur substantial expense in completing certain clinical trials. The length of time, number of trial sites and patients required for clinical trials vary substantially, and we may have difficulty finding a sufficient number of sites and subjects to participate in our trials. Delays in planned clinical trials can result in increased development costs, delays in regulatory approvals and delays in product candidates reaching the market. We rely on independent third‑party clinical investigators to recruit subjects and conduct clinical trials in accordance with applicable study protocols and laws and regulations. If regulatory authorities determine that we have not complied with regulations in the R&D of a product candidate, they may refuse to accept trial data from the site and/or not approve the product candidate, and we would not be able to market and sell that product. If we are not able to market and sell our products after significant expenditures to develop and test them, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We currently have products in various stages of development, including new ~~opthamology, women’s health~~medical aesthetics, eye care, GI and CNS products, among others. Such clinical trials are costly and may not result in successful outcomes. The results of preclinical studies and early clinical studies may not be predictive of the results of later‑stage clinical studies. Product candidates that have shown promising results in early‑stage clinical studies may still suffer significant setbacks in subsequent clinical studies. There is a high rate of failure for products proceeding through clinical studies, and product candidates in later stages of clinical studies may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical studies. Clinical studies may not proceed as planned or be completed on schedule, if at all. The rate of completion of clinical trials is significantly dependent upon a number of factors, including the rate of patient enrollment. We may not be able to attract a sufficient number of sites or enroll a sufficient number of patients in a timely manner in order to complete clinical trials. Moreover, nonclinical and clinical data are often

susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and our data may not provide adequate efficacy and safety information to obtain

regulatory approval of our candidates. We cannot be sure that our business expenditures, including but not limited to our expenditures related to internally developed products, ~~our Esmya™ product,~~ products acquired in past acquisitions, or products of our third‑party partners, among others, will result in the successful discovery, development or launch of branded products that will prove to be commercially successful or will improve the long‑term profitability of our business. If such business expenditures do not result in successful discovery, development or launch of commercially successful branded products our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

If any of our major products become subject to problems, our business could be adversely ~~affected~~.affected.

We recorded direct product revenues of more than $500 million for the following pharmaceutical products: Botox^®, the Juvederm Collection, Linzess^®/Constella^®, Lumigan^®/Ganfort^®, Bystolic^®/Byvalson^®, ~~and~~ Alphagan^®/Combigan^®, Lo Loestrin^®and Restasis^®. Those products and revenues accounted for ~~51.8%~~57.9% of our total revenues in ~~2017.~~2018. These products, as well as our other major products, may become subject to problems such as loss of patent protection (if applicable), changes in prescription growth rates, material product liability litigation, unexpected side effects, regulatory proceedings, publicity affecting doctor or patient confidence, pressure from existing or new competitive products or changes in labeling, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. For example, in October 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an adverse trial decision finding that the four asserted patents covering Restasis^® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05% are ~~invalid. The case is currently~~invalid and on ~~appeal; however, FDA may approve – and generics may attempt to launch – generic versions~~November 13, 2018, the United States Court of ~~Restasis® before~~Appeals for the ~~court of appeals has issued its decision in the appeal.~~Federal Circuit affirmed that ruling.

If generic products that compete with any of our branded pharmaceutical products are approved and sold, sales of our products will be adversely affected.

Generic equivalents for branded pharmaceutical products are typically sold at lower prices than the branded products. The regulatory approval process in the United States and European Union exempts generic products from costly and time-consuming clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy and rely instead on the safety and efficacy of prior products, manufacturers of generic products can invest far less in research and development. After the introduction of a competing generic product, a significant percentage of the prescriptions previously written for the branded product are often written for the generic version. In addition, legislation enacted in most U.S. states and Canadian provinces allows or, in some instances mandates, that a pharmacist dispense an available generic equivalent when filling a prescription for a branded product, in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch‑Waxman Act, manufacturers of branded products often bring lawsuits to enforce their patent rights against generic products ~~released~~seeking approval prior to the expiration of branded products’ patents, but it is possible for generic manufacturers to offer generic products while such litigation is pending. Refer to “If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our patents, our business could suffer.” As a result, branded products typically experience a significant loss in revenues following the introduction of a competing generic product, even if subject to an existing patent. Our branded pharmaceutical products are or may become subject to competition from generic equivalents because there is no proprietary protection for some of the branded pharmaceutical products we sell, because our patent protection expires or because our patent protection is not sufficiently broad or enforceable. In addition, we may not be successful in our efforts to extend the proprietary protection afforded our branded products through the development and commercialization of proprietary product improvements.

In October 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an adverse trial decision finding that the four asserted patents covering Restasis® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05% are invalid.

~~Our Actonel~~^® ~~products no longer have patent protection in Canada or the Western European countries in which we sell these products, and Asacol~~^® ~~is not protected by a patent in the United Kingdom. Our Actonel~~^® ~~once‑a‑month product lost U.S. patent protection in June 2014 (including a 6‑month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity) and generic versions of our Loestrin~~^® ~~24 Fe product entered the market in January 2014 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. Generic versions of Namenda~~^®~~(IR) tablets entered the U.S. market in July 2015 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into. An authorized generic version of Asacol HD~~^®~~entered the market in July 2016 pursuant to a settlement agreement previously entered into. In addition, other products such as Estrace~~^® ~~Cream, Asacol~~^® ~~400 mg, Aczone~~^®~~5%, Femhrt~~^®~~, Latisse~~^®~~, and Carafate~~^® ~~are not protected by patents in the United States where we sell these products. Generic equivalents are currently available in Canada and Western Europe for Actonel~~^® ~~and in the United States for certain versions of our Femhrt~~^® ~~products, Femcon~~^® ~~Fe and certain other less significant products.~~

During the next few years, additional products of ours, including some of our large revenue drivers, like ~~Aczone~~^®~~5%,~~ Bystolic^®~~, Canasa~~^®, Delzicol^®, Gelnique^®~~, Namenda XR~~^®~~, Pylera~~^®~~, Rapaflo~~^®, Saphris^® and Viibryd^®, will lose patent protection and/or likely become subject to generic or other competition. Generic versions of our Canasa^® product ~~may enter~~entered the market ~~as early as~~in December 2018 ~~or earlier~~ pursuant to an agreement previously entered ~~into.~~into and generic versions of our Rapaflo^® product entered the market in December 2018 upon patent expiration. Some of our products may also become subject to generic

competition prior to the expiration of patent protection in the event a generic competitor elects to launch its generic equivalent product “at‑risk.” For example, before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has reviewed Allergan’s appeal of a district court judgment of patent invalidity, Sandoz launched “at risk” a generic version of Latisse^® in December 2016. Competition from generic equivalents could result in a material impairment of our intangible assets or the acceleration of amortization on our non‑impaired intangible assets and may have a material adverse impact on our revenues, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and our future revenue growth and profitability are dependent on our timely development and launches of new products ahead of our competitors.

We face strong competition across our business. The intensely competitive environment of the pharmaceutical industry requires an ongoing, extensive search for technological innovations and the ability to market and price products effectively, including the ability to communicate the effectiveness, safety and value of branded products to healthcare professionals in private practice, group practices and Managed Care Organizations. Our competitors vary depending upon product categories, and within each product category, upon dosage strengths and drug‑delivery systems. Based on total assets, annual revenues, and market capitalization, we are smaller than certain of our national and international competitors in the brand and distribution product arenas. ~~Most of our competitors have been in business for a longer period of time than we have, have a greater number of products on the market and have greater financial and other resources than we do.~~ Furthermore, recent

trends in this industry are toward further market consolidation of large drug companies into a smaller number of very large entities, further concentrating financial, technical and market strength and increasing competitive pressure in the industry. If we directly compete with them for the same markets and/or products, their financial strength could prevent us from capturing a profitable share of those markets. It is possible that developments by our competitors will make our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. In addition, competitive forces may result in changes to the mix of products that we sell during a given time period or lower demand for our products than expected.

Some of our competitors have technical, competitive or other advantages over us for the development of technologies and processes. We face increased competition from new infection prevention, sterile processing, contamination control, surgical support, cleaning consumables, gastrointestinal endoscopy accessories, contract sterilization, and other products and services entering the market. These advantages may make it difficult for us to compete with them to successfully discover, develop and market new products and for our current products to compete with new products that these competitors may bring to market. As a result, our products may compete against products that have lower prices, equivalent or superior performance, a better safety profile, are easier to administer, achieve earlier entry into the market or that are otherwise competitive with our products. For example, in the past few years, a number of other companies have started to develop, have successfully developed and/or are currently marketing products that are being positioned as competitors to Botox^®. While we believe that Botox^® is a product that is superior to and can be differentiated from its competitors, any commercial success of other toxin products could have an adverse impact on our revenues or results of operations.

If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our patents, our business could suffer.

Our success with the branded products that we develop will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for these products. We currently have a number of U.S. and foreign patents issued and pending. However, issuance of a patent is not conclusive evidence of its validity or enforceability. We cannot be sure that we will receive patents for any of our pending patent applications or any patent applications we may file in the future, or that our issued patents will be upheld if challenged. If our current and future patent applications are not approved or, if approved, our patents are not upheld in a court of law if challenged, it may reduce our ability to competitively utilize our patented products. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, in which case our ability to commercially market these products may be diminished. Patent disputes may be lengthy and a potential violator of our patents may bring a potentially infringing product to market during the dispute, subjecting us to competition and damages due to infringement of the competitor product. Further, patents covering ~~Aczone~~^® ~~5%,~~ Androderm^®, Carafate^®, Estrace^® Cream, Femhrt^®, INFed^® ~~and~~, Namenda^® (IR), Pylera®, and Rapaflo® products have expired and we have no further patent protection on these products. As a result, generic versions of our ~~Aczone® 5%~~Estrace® Cream product and Namenda XR^® entered the market ~~around October 2017~~in January and March 2018, respectively, and generic versions of our ~~Estrace® Cream~~Rapaflo® product entered the market in ~~January~~December 2018. During the next few years, additional products ~~acquired pursuant to the Warner Chilcott Acquisition, the Forest Acquisition, and the Allergan Acquisition~~ will lose patent protection and/or likely become subject to generic or other competition, including Bystolic^®, ~~Canasa~~^®, Delzicol^®, Gelnique^®~~, Namenda XR~~^®~~, Pylera~~^®~~, Rapaflo~~^®, Saphris^® and Viibryd^®. Therefore, it is possible that a competitor may launch a generic version of any of these products at any time, which would result in a significant decline in that product’s revenue and profit.

Generic versions of our ~~Loestrin~~^® ~~24 Fe product entered the market in January 2014 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into; an authorized generic version of our Asacol~~^® ~~HD 800 mg product entered the market in August 2016 pursuant to an agreement previously entered into; our immediate release Namenda~~^® ~~product lost U.S. patent protection in 2015 and generic versions entered the market in July 2015 pursuant to agreements previously entered into; generic versions of our~~ Minastrin^® product which entered the market during March 2017 pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into; and generic versions of our Canasa^® product ~~may enter~~entered the market ~~as early as~~in December 2018 pursuant to a settlement agreement previously entered into. Some of our products, e.g., ~~Delzicol~~^®~~, Restasis~~^®~~, and~~ Combigan^®, may also become subject to generic competition prior to the expiration of patent protection in the event a generic competitor is not enjoined and elects to launch its generic equivalent product “at risk.”

Generic competitors to our branded products may also challenge the validity or enforceability of the patents protecting our products or otherwise seek to circumvent them. Forest also recently brought actions against certain manufacturers of generic drugs for infringement of several patents covering our Byvalson^®, Canasa^®, Delzicol^®, Linzess^®, Fetzima^®, Namenda XR^®, Namzaric^®, ~~Pylera~~Saphris^®, ~~Saphris~~Savella^®, ~~Savella~~Teflaro^®~~, Teflaro~~ and Viibryd^® ~~and Viibryd~~^® products. Allergan recently brought actions against manufacturers of generic drugs in the United States for infringement of several patents covering our ~~Aczone~~Combigan^® ~~7.5%~~, ~~Combigan~~Lastacaft^®, ~~Lastacaft~~Latisse^®~~, Latisse~~^®, and Restasis^® products. While we intend to vigorously defend these and other patents and pursue our legal rights, we can offer no assurance as to when the pending or any future litigation will be decided, whether such lawsuits will be successful or that a generic equivalent of one or more of our products will not be approved and enter the market. In addition, patents covering our branded pharmaceutical products may be challenged in proceedings other than court proceedings, including IPR at the U.S. Patent Office. In 2011, Congress amended the patent laws and created a new way to challenge the validity of patents: the inter partes review. IPR proceedings take place in the U.S. Patent Office and have both advantages and disadvantages when compared to district court proceedings. Although IPR proceedings are limited to certain types of invalidity challenges, the U.S. Patent Office applies different standards that make it easier for challengers to invalidate patents. Moreover, IPR proceedings generally take no more than 18 months, which means it is much faster than challenging a patent’s validity in a district court proceeding. In addition, an IPR challenge can be mounted even after a patent has been upheld in court. ~~For example, Mylan has filed IPR challenges against our patents covering our Restasis~~^® ~~and Teoxane~~^® ~~products and recent filed IPR challenges against certain patents covering certain of our Juvederm~~^® ~~product.~~

In addition to patent protection, our business relies on our protection of other intellectual property rights, trade secrets, and other proprietary technologies. We rely on trademark, copyright, trade‑secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with

our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. The protection of our proprietary technology may require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. For example, in April 2017, Allergan brought an action for unfair competition, false advertising, dilution, conspiracy and infringement of Allergan’s JUVÉDERM trademarks in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Dermavita Limited Partnership, Dima Corp. S.A. and KBC Media Relations LLC. However, we may not be able to discover or determine the extent of any unauthorized use of our proprietary rights, and we may not be able to prevent third parties from misappropriating or infringing upon our proprietary rights.

We rely on certain information, processes, and know‑how that are not protected by patents or other intellectual property rights. We seek to protect this information through trade secret or confidentiality agreements, as well as through other measures. These measures may not provide adequate protection for our unpatented technology.

If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets or proprietary know‑how, or enforce our intellectual property rights, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer.

~~From time~~The Company may not be able to ~~time we may need to rely on licenses to~~identify, acquire or license products or proprietary technologies, ~~which may be difficult~~and could lose rights to intellectual property after such intellectual property has been licensed.

Like other pharmaceutical companies, in order to remain competitive, the Company must continue to launch new products. Expected declines in sales of products after the loss of market exclusivity mean that the Company’s future success is dependent on its pipeline of new products, including new products that, as part of its open science model, the Company obtains through acquisitions, licenses or ~~expensive to obtain.~~

~~We may need to obtain licenses to patents~~collaborations. To accomplish this, the Company commits substantial effort, funds and other ~~proprietary rights held by third parties~~resources to ~~develop, manufacture and market~~the identification, acquisition or licensing of new products. ~~If we are unable~~The Company may face competition from other companies in pursuing acquisitions, licenses or collaborations or may not be able to ~~timely obtain these licenses~~enter into such transactions on commercially reasonable ~~terms, our~~terms. Our ability to ~~commercially market our products~~complete such transactions may also be ~~inhibited~~limited by applicable antitrust and trade regulation or ~~prevented,~~other laws and regulations in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which ~~could have a material adverse effect~~we or the operations or assets we seek to acquire carry on ~~our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For example,~~business. Additionally, because we license significant intellectual property with respect to certain of our products, including ~~Delzicol~~^®Namzaric®, ~~Namenda XR~~^®Linzess®, ~~Namzaric~~^®~~, Linzess~~^®~~, Teflaro~~^®Teflaro® and ~~Viibryd~~^®Viibryd®, any loss or suspension of our rights to licensed intellectual property could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Failure to successfully identify, acquire or license new products or maintain licenses to products or proprietary technologies once acquired would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flow, financial position and prospects.

Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights and may prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products.

The manufacture, use and sale of new products that are the subject of conflicting patent rights have been the subject of substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical industry. These lawsuits relate to the validity, enforceability and infringement of patents or proprietary rights of third parties. We may have to defend ourselves against charges that we violated patents or proprietary rights of third parties. This is especially true in the case of new branded products where a competitor has obtained patents for similar products. Litigation may be costly, unpredictable, time‑consuming, often involves complex legal, scientific and factual questions, and could divert the attention of our management and technical personnel. In addition, if it is determined that we infringe the rights of others, we could lose our right to develop, manufacture or market products, product launches could be delayed or we could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that the necessary licenses would be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could result in substantial monetary damage awards and could prevent us from manufacturing and selling a number of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Certain aspects of our operations are highly dependent upon third‑party service providers.

We rely on suppliers, vendors and other third‑party service providers to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, promote and sell our products. Reliance on third‑party manufacturers reduces our oversight and control of the manufacturing process. Some of these third‑party providers are subject to legal and regulatory requirements, privacy and security risks, and market risks of their own. The failure of a critical third‑party service provider to meet its obligations could have a material adverse impact on our operations and results. If any third‑party service providers have violated or are alleged to have violated any laws or regulations during the performance of their obligations to us, it is possible that we could suffer financial and reputation harm or other negative outcomes, including possible legal consequences.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies of raw materials, our ability to deliver our products to the market may be impeded.

We are required to identify the supplier(s) of all the raw materials for our products in our applications with the FDA and regulatory agencies outside the United States. To the extent practicable, we attempt to identify more than one API supplier in each drug application. However, many raw materials, including API, are available only from a single source and, in many of our drug applications, only one supplier of raw materials has been identified, even in instances where multiple sources exist. Some of these products have historically or may in the future account for a significant portion of our revenues, such as Botox^®, our Juvederm^® dermal filler family of products, ~~Namenda~~^®, Linzess^® and Bystolic^®. Any failure by us to forecast demand for, or to maintain an adequate supply of, the raw materials could result in an interruption in the supply of certain products and a decline in sales of that product. In addition, if our suppliers are unable to meet our manufacturing requirements, we may not be able to produce a sufficient amount of product in a timely manner, which could cause a decline in our sales. From time to time, certain of our suppliers have experienced regulatory or supply‑related difficulties that have inhibited their ability to deliver raw materials to us, causing supply delays or interruptions. The availability and prices of raw materials and supplies are subject to volatility and are influenced by worldwide economic conditions, speculative action, world supply and demand balances, inventory levels, availability of substitute materials, currency exchange rates, anticipated or perceived shortages, product contamination, among other factors. To the extent any difficulties experienced by our suppliers cannot be resolved or extensions of our key supply agreements cannot be negotiated within a reasonable time and on commercially reasonable terms, or if raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier and we are required to qualify a new supplier with the FDA or other regulatory agency, or if we are unable to do so, our profit margins and market share for the affected product could decrease or be eliminated, as well as delay our development and sales and marketing efforts. Such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Although we are developing and executing a global risk management framework designed to identify, prioritize, mitigate and continuously monitor potential risks to raw material suppliers, including mitigation strategies such as holding safety stock of raw materials and developing additional sources for sole- or single- sourced raw materials, there is no guarantee that these strategies will be successful and will be able to mitigate any material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, our manufacturing sites outside of the United States and our arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to certain additional risks, including the availability of government clearances, export duties, political instability, war, acts of terrorism, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA and foreign regulatory body regulation, customs clearances, various import duties and other government clearances, as well as potential shipping delays due to inclement weather, political instability, strikes or other matters outside of our control. Acts of governments outside the U.S. may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of our products. In addition, changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for R&D prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents.

Allergan relies on global trade channels to supply product to the United States and other countries around the world. For example, manufacturing of Botox^®, Bystolic^® and Linzess^® is exclusively performed in Ireland, and manufacturing of our Juvederm^® dermal filler family of products is exclusively performed in France. Global trade is subject to certain additional risks, including the availability of government clearances, export duties, political instability, war, acts of terrorism, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. For example, we obtain a significant portion of our raw materials from suppliers that are not in the same country as the manufacturing plant that uses them. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA and other regulatory body regulation, customs clearances, various import duties and other government clearances, as well as potential shipping delays due to inclement weather, political instability, strikes or other matters outside of our control. Acts of governments may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of our products. In addition, recent changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the U.S. may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for R&D prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents.

The design, development, manufacture and sale of our products involves the risk of product liability and other claims by consumers and other third parties, and insurance against such potential claims is expensive and may be difficult to obtain.

The design, development, manufacture and sale of our products involves an inherent risk of product liability claims and the associated adverse publicity. For example, the Company is subject to ~~approximately 160~~more than 100 legal actions asserting product liability claims relating to the use of ~~Celexa~~^®Celexa® or ~~Lexapro~~^®Lexapro®. These cases include claims that ~~Celexa~~^®Celexa® or ~~Lexapro~~^®Lexapro® caused various birth defects. While we believe there is no merit to these cases, litigation is inherently subject to uncertainties and we may be required to expend substantial amounts in the defense or resolution of certain of these matters. In addition, consumer groups and certain plaintiffs have alleged that certain uses of Botox®, including “off-label” uses, have caused patient injuries and death and have further failed to

adequately warn patients of the risks relating to Botox® use. From time to time reports related to the quality and safety of breast implant devices are published, including reports that have suggested a possible association between anaplastic large cell lymphoma and breast implants, and such reports may lead to actions being taken by regulatory authorities, such as the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products in France. We regularly monitor the use of our products for trends or increases in reports of adverse events or product complaints, and regularly report such matters to the ~~FDA.~~FDA and other regulatory authorities as applicable. In some, but not all cases, an increase in adverse event reports may be an indication that there has been a change in a product’s specifications or efficacy. Such changes could lead to a recall of the product in question or, in some cases, increases in product liability claims related to the product in question. If the coverage limits for product liability insurance policies are not adequate or if certain of our products are excluded from coverage, a claim brought against us, whether covered by insurance or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We also rely on self‑insurance to cover product liability claims, and these claims may exceed amounts we have reserved under our self‑insurance program.

We are also subject to a variety of other types of claims, proceedings, investigations and litigation initiated by government agencies or third parties. These include compliance matters, product regulation or safety, taxes, employee benefit plans, employment discrimination, health and safety, environmental, antitrust, customs, import/export, government contract compliance, financial controls or reporting, intellectual property, allegations of misrepresentation, false claims or false statements, commercial claims, claims regarding promotion of our products and services, shareholder derivative suits or other similar matters. ~~For example, consumer groups and certain plaintiffs have alleged that certain uses of Botox~~^®~~, including “off-label” uses, have caused patient injuries and death and have further failed to adequately warn patients of the risks relating to Botox~~^®use. From time to time reports related to the quality and safety of breast implant devices are published, including reports that have suggested a possible association between anaplastic large cell lymphoma and breast implants, as well as negative reports from regulatory authorities in Europe related to a breast implant manufacturer that is not affiliated with the Company. In addition, government investigations related to the use of products, but not the efficacy themselves, may cause reputational harm to the Company. Negative publicity, whether accurate or inaccurate, about the efficacy, safety or side effects of our products or product categories, whether involving us or a competitor, could materially reduce market acceptance to our products, cause consumers to seek alternatives to our products, result in product withdrawals and cause our stock price to decline. Negative publicity could also result in an increased number of product liability claims, whether or not these claims have a basis in scientific fact. Any such claims, proceedings, investigations or litigation, regardless of the merits, might result in substantial costs, restrictions on product use or sales, or otherwise injure our business.

The manufacture of our ~~pharmaceutical~~ products and product candidates requires precise manufacturing process controls, API that conforms to very tight tolerances for specific characteristics and equipment that operates consistently within narrow performance ranges. Manufacturing complexity, testing requirements, and safety processes combine to increase the overall difficulty of manufacturing these products and resolving manufacturing problems that we may encounter.

Our manufacturing and other processes utilize sophisticated equipment, which sometimes require a significant amount of time to obtain and install. Our business could suffer if certain manufacturing or other equipment, or a portion or all of our facilities were to become inoperable for a period of time. This could occur for various reasons, including catastrophic events such as earthquake, monsoon, hurricane or explosion, unexpected equipment failures or delays in obtaining spare parts, contamination by microorganisms or viruses, labor disputes or shortages, contractual disputes with our suppliers and contract manufacturers, as well as construction delays or defects and other events, both within and outside of our control. ~~We manufacture certain~~Certain products, including Botox^®, our Juvederm® dermal filler family of products, Linzess^® and Bystolic^®, are each manufactured at ~~a single~~only one of the Allergan ~~facility.~~facilities. Additionally, we expect to continue to rely on our ~~third party~~third-party manufacturing partners, such as Teva for Lo ~~Loestrin®~~Loestrin^® and Patheon for Viberzi^®, that utilize single manufacturing facilities. Therefore, a significant disruptive event at certain manufacturing facilities or sites could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, as noted with our supply interruption with ~~Avycaz~~Ozurdex^® in ~~2016.~~2018. In the event of a disruption, we may need to build or locate replacement facilities as well as seek and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for these facilities. Our inability to timely manufacture any of our significant products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Manufacturing processes at Allergan-owned facilities and those of our ~~third party~~third-party contract manufacturers must undergo a potentially lengthy regulatory approval process by the FDA and/or equivalent agencies in other countries. It can take longer than five years to build, validate and license a new manufacturing plant and it can take longer than three years to qualify and license a new contract manufacturer. If regulatory authorities determine that we or our third party contract manufacturers or certain of our third party service providers have violated regulations or if they restrict, suspend or revoke our prior approvals, they could prohibit us from manufacturing our products or conducting clinical trials or selling our marketed products until we or the affected third party contract manufacturers or third party service providers comply, or indefinitely. Because our ~~third party~~third-party contract manufacturers and certain of our ~~third party~~third-party service providers are subject to the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities, alternative qualified ~~third party~~third-party contract manufacturers and ~~third party~~third-party service providers may not be available on a timely basis or at all. Although we have launched a global manufacturing business continuity program to reduce the potential for manufacturing difficulties or delays and reduce the severity of a disruptive event, under which program manufacturing sites identify and develop temporary workarounds for manufacturing processes that may be disrupted with the aim of reducing the risk and severity of a disruptive event, there is no guarantee that this program will be successful, and if we or our third party contract manufacturers or third party service providers cease or interrupt production or if

our third party contract manufacturers and third party service providers fail to supply materials, products or services to us, we may experience delayed shipments, supply constraints, stock outs and/or recalls of our products.

Our business could suffer as a result of failure of our R&D program or the failure of our product pipeline to produce successful ~~prodoucts.~~products.

The discovery and development of safe, effective new products, as well as the development of additional uses for existing products, are necessary for the continued strength of our businesses. Our product lines must be replenished over time in order to offset revenue losses when products lose their market exclusivity, as well as to provide for earnings growth. Our growth potential depends in large part on our ability to identify and develop new products or new indications for existing products that address unmet medical needs and receive reimbursement from payers, either through internal R&D or through collaborations, acquisitions, joint ventures or licensing or other arrangements with third parties. However, balancing current growth, investment for future growth and the delivery of shareholder return remains a major challenge. The average costs of product development continue to rise, as do the regulatory requirements in many therapeutic areas, which may affect the number of candidates funded as well as the sustainability of the R&D portfolio. Our ongoing investments in new product introductions and in R&D for new products and existing product extensions could exceed corresponding sales growth.

Additionally, our R&D investment plans and resources may not be correctly matched between science and markets, and failure to invest in the right technology platforms, therapeutic segments, product classes, geographic markets and/or in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities in order to deliver a robust pipeline could adversely impact the productivity of our pipeline. Further, even if the areas with the greatest market attractiveness are identified, the science may not work for any given program despite the significant investment required for R&D, and the commercial potential of the product may not be as competitive as expected because of the highly dynamic market environment and the hurdles in terms of access and reimbursement.

~~Investigations of the calculation of average wholesale prices may adversely affect our business.~~

Many government and third‑party payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs and MCOs, have historically reimbursed doctors, pharmacies and others for the purchase of certain prescription drugs based on a drug’s average wholesale price (“AWP”) or wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”). In the past several years, state and federal government agencies have conducted ongoing investigations of manufacturers’ reporting practices with respect to AWP and WAC, in which they have suggested that reporting of inflated AWPs or WACs has led to excessive payments for prescription drugs. For example, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as well as numerous other pharmaceutical companies, have been named as defendants in various state and federal court actions alleging improper or fraudulent practices related to the reporting of AWP and/or WAC of certain products, and other improper acts, in order to increase prices and market shares. Similarly, in December 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company were named as defendants in a private class action litigation in Pennsylvania based on similar allegations. Additional actions are possible. These actions, if successful, could adversely affect us and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are subject to U.S. federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security laws, and the failure to comply with such laws may adversely affect our business.

In the United States, many of our products are reimbursed under federal and state health care programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, TriCare, and/or state pharmaceutical assistance programs, and as a result, certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse and patients’ rights are and will be applicable to our business. We ~~could be~~are subject to healthcare fraud and abuse and patient privacy regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. The laws that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to: (i) the U.S. Anti‑Kickback Statute, which

applies to our marketing and research practices, educational programs, pricing policies and relationships with healthcare providers or other entities, by prohibiting, among other things, soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, or in return for, either the referral of an individual or the purchase or recommendation of an item or service reimbursable under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs; (ii) federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other third‑party payers that are false or fraudulent; (iii) the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (“HIPAA”), which among other things created ~~new~~ federal criminal statutes that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters, and HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and its implementing regulations, which imposes certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information and places restrictions on the use of such information for marketing communications; (iv) the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which among other things, requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under a federal healthcare program to report annually information related to “payments or other transfers of value” made to physicians and teaching hospitals, and ownership and investment interests held by certain healthcare professionals and their immediate family members and similar state laws; (v) the government pricing rules applicable to the Medicaid, Medicare Part B, 340B Drug Pricing Program, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs program, the TriCare program, and state price reporting laws; and (vi) state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above U.S. laws, such as anti‑kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third‑party payer, including commercial insurers, and state (e.g., the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 or “CCPA”) and foreign laws (e.g., the EU General Data Protection Regulation or “GDPR”) governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts. Violations of the fraud and abuse and privacy laws may result in severe penalties against Allergan and/or its responsible employees, including jail sentences, large fines, and the exclusion of our products from reimbursement under federal and state programs. Defense of litigation claims and government investigations can be costly, time‑consuming, and distract management, and it is possible that Allergan could incur judgments or enter into settlements that would require us to change the way we operate our business. We are committed to conducting the sales and marketing of our products in compliance with the healthcare fraud and abuse and privacy laws, but certain applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to ~~defraud.~~defraud or misuse health information. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity, a governmental authority may take

a position contrary to a position we have taken, or should an employee violate these laws without our knowledge, a governmental authority may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions.

Any adverse outcome in these types of actions, or the imposition of penalties or sanctions for failing to comply with the fraud and abuse and privacy laws, could adversely affect us and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Some of the statutes and regulations that govern our activities, such as federal and state anti‑kickback and false claims and privacy laws, are broad in scope, and while exemptions and safe harbors protecting certain common activities exist, they are often narrowly drawn. While we manage our business activities to comply with these statutory provisions, due to their breadth, complexity and, in certain cases, uncertainty of application, it is possible that our activities could be subject to challenge by various government agencies. In particular, the FDA, the U.S. Department of Justice and other agencies are engaged in enforcement activities with respect to the sales, marketing, research and similar activities of pharmaceutical companies, and many pharmaceutical companies have been subject to government investigations related to these practices. A determination that we are in violation of these and/or other government regulations and legal requirements may result in civil damages and penalties, criminal fines and prosecution, administrative remedies, the recall of products, the total or partial suspension of manufacture and/or distribution, seizure of products, injunctions, whistleblower lawsuits, failure to obtain approval of pending product applications, withdrawal of existing product approvals, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and other sanctions.

Allergan is also currently responding to subpoenas seeking information relating to its sales and marketing activities, including payments to people who are in a position to recommend drugs and “off‑label” promotion and the Company is defending litigations based on similar allegations. Refer to Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information. We cannot predict or determine the impact of these inquiries on our future financial condition or results of operations. These investigations and any other threatened or actual government enforcement action could also generate adverse publicity and require that we devote substantial resources that could be used productively on other aspects of our business.

Additionally, the Company has been named as a defendant in ~~approximately 290~~over 1,000 matters relating to the promotion and sale of prescription opioid pain relievers and additional suits may be filed. Refer to Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information. We cannot predict or determine the impact of these suits on our future financial condition or results of operations. These suits and any other threatened or actual suits could also generate adverse publicity and require that we devote substantial resources that could be used productively on other aspects of our business.

Any of these types of investigations, suits, or enforcement actions could affect our ability to commercially distribute our products and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Changes in ~~data~~ privacy and data protection laws and regulations, particularly in Europe and California, or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations globally regarding privacy, data protection, and data security, including those related to the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, and security of personal data. Significant uncertainty exists as privacy and data protection laws may be interpreted and applied differently from country to country and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. These laws apply to our uses of personal data, transfers of information among our affiliates, as well as to transactions we enter into with third party vendors. For example, the European Union adopted ~~a comprehensive General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) in May 2016 that will replace~~ the ~~current EU Data Protection Directive and related country-specific legislation. The~~ GDPR, ~~will become fully~~which became effective in May 2018, and ~~requires~~California has enacted the CCPA, a broad state privacy law, that mandates compliance by 2020. Both the GDPR and the CCPA require companies to satisfy ~~new~~ requirements regarding the handling of personal and sensitive data, including its use, protection and the ability of persons whose data is stored to ~~correct~~ access and/or delete ~~such~~some types of data about themselves. Failure to comply with ~~GDPR requirements~~these laws could ~~result in penalties of up to 4% of worldwide revenue. Complying~~have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Additionally, complying with the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR and CCPA may result in significant costs to our business and require us to revise certain of our business practices. In addition, legislators and regulators ~~in the U.S.~~globally are proposing new and more robust cybersecurity rules in light of the recent broad-based cyberattacks at a number of companies.

These and similar initiatives around the world could increase the cost of developing, implementing or securing our servers and require us to allocate more resources to improved technologies, adding to our IT and compliance costs. In addition, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy violations continue to increase. The enactment of more restrictive laws, rules, regulations, or future enforcement actions or investigations could impact us through increased costs or restrictions on our business, and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant legal liability.

Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

All pharmaceutical companies, including Allergan, are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving government regulation. For the U.S., this is principally administered by the FDA, but is also administered by the DEA and state government agencies, as well as by varying regulatory agencies in foreign countries where products or product candidates are being manufactured and/or marketed. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations, and similar foreign statutes and regulations, govern or influence the development, testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution and import/ export of our ~~products.~~drugs and medical devices. Foreign regulatory authorities impose similar requirements focused on drug safety and effectiveness. Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval has been and will continue to be increasingly difficult, time‑consuming and costly. In addition, changes in applicable federal, state and foreign laws and regulations or the implementation of new laws and regulations could affect our ability to obtain or maintain approval of our products and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. There is currently the potential for regulatory changes adverse to our business due to recent uncertainty related to the direction of U.S. regulatory policy related to the pharmaceutical industry.

Once regulatory approval has been obtained, agencies continue to have substantial authority to require additional testing, perform inspections, change product labeling based on post-marketing safety information or mandate withdrawals of our products. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may subject us to administrative or judicially‑imposed sanctions. These sanctions may include, among others, untitled letters, warning letters, fines, civil penalties, criminal penalties, injunctions, debarment, product seizure or detention, product recalls and total or partial suspension of production, sale and promotion. In addition, we may voluntarily elect to recall or restrict the use of a product. Any recall or restriction could divert managerial and financial resources and might harm our reputation.

Under these statutes and regulations, we are subject to periodic inspection of our facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of our products by the FDA and similar ex‑U.S. authorities, the DEA and other authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to confirm that we are in compliance with all applicable requirements. In addition, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies conduct pre‑approval and post‑approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes are in compliance with cGMP, quality systems regulations and other applicable regulations. Following such inspections, the FDA or other agency may issue observations, notices, citations and/or warning letters that could cause us to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. FDA guidelines specify that a warning letter is issued only for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in an enforcement action. We are also required to report adverse events associated with our products to the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Unexpected or serious health or safety concerns could result in product liability claims, labeling changes, recalls, market withdrawals or other regulatory actions, including withdrawal of product approvals. Adverse events and

safety concerns can arise as our product candidates are evaluated in clinical trials or as our marketed products are used in clinical practice. We are required to communicate to regulatory agencies adverse events reported to us regarding our products.

We cannot assure that the FDA inspections at any of our manufacturing sites will not result in inspectional observations at such sites, that approval or clearance of any of the pending or subsequently submitted NDAs or supplements to such applications, 510(k)s or PMAs by Allergan plc or our subsidiaries will be granted or that the FDA will not seek to impose additional sanctions against Allergan plc or any of its subsidiaries. The range of possible sanctions includes, among others, FDA issuance of product recalls or seizures, fines, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of product applications, enforcement actions, injunctions, and civil or criminal prosecution. Any such sanctions, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted ~~drug~~product approvals. Similar sanctions as detailed above may be available to the FDA under a consent decree, depending upon the actual terms of such decree. Although we have instituted internal compliance programs, if these programs do not meet regulatory agency standards or if compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could materially harm our business. Certain of our vendors are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections and may be operating under consent decrees.

In order to market our products in the United States and other jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements required for approval as well as maintaining registrations post-approval in every country where our products are approved. The process for obtaining governmental clearance or approval to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products and medical devices is rigorous, time‑consuming, uncertain and costly, and we cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by legislative and regulatory requirement changes. We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental or third‑party approvals prior to manufacturing, marketing and distributing our products. There is always the chance that we will not obtain FDA or other necessary approvals, or that the rate, timing and cost of obtaining such approvals, will adversely affect our product introduction plans or ~~impactoperations.~~impact operations. Additionally, any regulatory approvals we receive may be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or the conditions of approval may require costly additional studies and additional safety surveillance of the product. We may only market or promote our products for their approved

indications, and our labeling, promotional activities and advertising are subject to extensive regulation and oversight. We carry inventories of certain product(s) in anticipation of launch, and if such product(s) are not subsequently launched, we may be required to write‑off the related inventory.

Our customers are subject to various regulatory requirements, including requirements of the DEA, FDA, state boards of pharmacy and city and county health regulators, among others. These include licensing, registration, recordkeeping, security and reporting requirements. Additionally, although physicians may prescribe FDA approved products for an “off label” indication, we are permitted to market our products only for the indications for which they have been approved. Some of our products are prescribed “off label” and the FDA, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney or other regulatory authorities could take enforcement actions if they conclude that we or our distributors have engaged in “off label” marketing. In addition, historically a number of states and the federal government have enforced licensing and anti-counterfeit drug pedigree laws which require the tracking of all transactions involving prescription drugs beginning with the manufacturer, through the supply chain, and down to the pharmacy or other health care provider dispensing or administering prescription drug products. Therefore, manufacturers and wholesale distributors have been required to maintain records documenting the chain of custody on distribution of prescription drugs. On November 27, 2013, the federal government enacted the Drug Quality and Security Act (“DQSA”) amending federal requirements in regard to the licensing and tracking of prescription drugs. Certain provisions in the law related to licensing and tracking and tracing specifically preempted prior state laws related to drug pedigrees that are inconsistent, more stringent, or in addition to the federal law. Specifically, Title II of the DQSA, also known as the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (“DSCSA”), provides for creation of an electronic, interoperable system to identify and trace certain prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States. These amendments include requirements on licensing, tracking and tracing and other operations applicable to manufacturers and wholesale distributors of prescription drug products. The full requirements of the DSCSA are being phased in over a ten-year period; however, in January 2015, specific product tracing requirements for manufacturers, wholesalers, repackagers and dispensers (e.g., pharmacies) of prescription drugs became effective. Also, as of January 2015, the DSCSA required manufacturers and wholesale distributors to implement systems to identify potential “suspect” or “illegitimate” product, and take appropriate action. The DSCSA also addresses product tracing using unique product identifiers on packaging, ~~and~~which requirement became effective for drug manufacturers on November 27, 2017. FDA began enforcement of the law requiring product identifiers on November 27, 2018, for products packaged after that date after having exercised a year of enforcement discretion. The DSCSA also sets forth requirements for ~~standardized numerical identifiers~~the interoperable, electronic tracing of products, which ~~will~~are intended to take effect ten years after enactment of the DSCSA, or in ~~the future.~~2023.

In addition to government agencies that promulgate regulations and guidelines directly applicable to us, other professional societies, practice management groups, insurance carriers, physicians, private health or science foundations and organizations involved in various diseases from time to time may also publish guidelines or recommendations to healthcare providers, administrators and payers, and patient communities. For example, the treatment practices of physicians that currently prescribe our products may change. Recommendations by government agencies or other groups and organizations may relate to such matters as usage, dosage, route of administration and use of related therapies, as well as reimbursement of our products by government and private payers. Any

recommendations or guidelines that result in decreased use, dosage or reimbursement of our products could materially and adversely affect our product sales, business and operating results.

The supply of APIs into Europe may be negatively affected by ~~recent~~ regulations promulgated by the European Union.

All APIs imported into the EU must be certified as complying with the good manufacturing practice standards established by the EU, as stipulated by the International Conference for Harmonization. These regulations place the certification requirement on the regulatory bodies of the exporting countries. Accordingly, the national regulatory authorities of each exporting country must: (i) ensure that all manufacturing plants within their borders that export API into the EU comply with EU manufacturing standards and; (ii) for each API exported, present a written document confirming that the exporting plant conforms to EU manufacturing standards. The imposition of this responsibility on the governments of the nations exporting API may cause a shortage of API necessary to manufacture our products, as certain governments may not be willing or able to comply with the regulation in a timely fashion, or at all. A shortage in API may cause us to have to cease manufacture of certain products, or to incur costs and delays to qualify other suppliers to substitute for those API manufacturers unable to export. This could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of branded and generic products could adversely affect our business.

As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003, companies are required to file with the FTC and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between branded and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of branded drugs. This requirement, as well as legislation pending in the U.S. Congress related to settlements between brand and generic drug manufacturers, could affect the manner in which brand drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with generic pharmaceutical companies and could result generally in an increase or lengthening of litigation against pharmaceutical companies or additional investigations or proceedings by the FTC or other governmental authorities. The impact of this requirement, the pending legislation and the potential private‑party

lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect our business. For example, onin April 5, 2013, class actions were filed against ~~Warner Chilcott plc and~~ certain ~~affiliates~~subsidiaries of the Company alleging that ~~its~~certain 2009 patent lawsuit settlements with Watson Laboratories, Inc. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. related to Loestrin^® 24 Fe (norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, “Loestrin^® 24”) are unlawful. The complaints generally allege that Watson and Lupin improperly delayed launching generic versions of Loestrin^® 24 in exchange for substantial payments from Warner Chilcott plc in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Similar lawsuits have been filed against the Company challenging the lawfulness of patent litigation settlements related to Asacol^® and Namenda^®. We have also received requests for information and Statements of Objection in connection with investigations into settlements and other arrangements between competing pharmaceutical companies by the Federal Trade Commission and the European Competition Commission. For example, in May 2014, Forest received a Civil Investigatory Demand from the FTC requesting information about Forest’s agreements with ANDA filers for Bystolic^®. Any adverse outcome of these actions or investigations, or actions or investigations related to other settlements we have entered into, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Refer to Legal Matters in “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Healthcare reform and a reduction in the coverage and reimbursement levels by governmental authorities, HMOs, MCOs or other third‑party payers may adversely affect our business.

Demand for our products depends in part on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement is available from third‑party payers, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors. In order to commercialize our products, we have obtained from government authorities and private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs and MCOs, recognition for coverage and reimbursement at varying levels for the cost of certain of our products and related treatments. Third‑party payers and government entities increasingly continue to challenge ~~pricing~~the prices of pharmaceutical products. Further, the trend toward managed healthcare in the U.S., the growth of organizations such as HMOs and MCOs, and legislative and regulatory proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs create uncertainties regarding the future levels of coverage and reimbursement for pharmaceutical products. For example, the Trump Administration recently proposed a rule that would redefine the way Medicare Part B providers are paid for physician-administered drugs (to be based, in part, on international reference pricing). Such cost containment measures and healthcare reform could reduce reimbursement of our pharmaceutical products, resulting in lower prices and a reduction in the product demand. This could affect our ability to sell our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

There have been changes in reimbursement for pharmaceuticals under various government programs, including Medicaid, and there is uncertainty surrounding implementation of legislation and regulatory changes relating to reimbursement for pharmaceuticals under Medicaid and other government programs such as Medicare and TriCare. Reimbursement changes under such government programs may impact demand for our products and may negatively affect the price. In addition, any reimbursement granted may not be maintained or limits on reimbursement available from third-party payers may reduce demand for, or negatively affect the price of,

those products. Additionally, various legislative and regulatory initiatives in states, including proposed modifications to reimbursements and rebates, price transparency laws, product pedigree and tracking, pharmaceutical waste “take back” initiatives, restrictions on co-pay assistance programs and therapeutic category generic substitution carve out legislation may also have a negative impact on the Company. We maintain a full-time government affairs department in Washington, D.C., which is responsible for coordinating state and federal legislative activities, and places a major emphasis in terms of management time and resources to ensure a fair and balanced legislative and regulatory arena.

Although the ACA reforms have significantly impacted our business, in the coming years, it is likely that additional changes will be made to governmental healthcare and insurance reimbursement programs. On January 20, 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order, which stated that it is the policy of his Administration to seek the prompt repeal of the ACA and directed executive departments and federal agencies to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of the provisions of the ACA to the maximum extent permitted by law. ~~The Trump Administration has also issued numerous executive orders,~~In addition, a federal court in Texas ruled in December 2018 that the ACA is unconstitutional. That decision currently is being appealed and may result in an opinion by appellate courts, including ~~a “regulatory freeze” order issued~~potentially the Supreme Court of the United States, on ~~January 20, 2017 that temporarily postpones by 60 days~~ the ~~effective date~~constitutionality of regulations that have not yet taken effect (subject to certain limitations) and a “one in, two out” executive order issued on January 30, 2017 that requires two rules be “identified for elimination” for every new one proposed. There is uncertainty with respect to the ~~timing of any potential changes, to coverage and reimbursement for healthcare items and services covered by plans that were authorized by the ACA.~~ACA as revised. We cannot predict the ultimate content, timing, or effect of any such reform activities, litigation, or court decisions on our business. Additionally, the pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products ~~have recently received the~~continues to receive significant attention offrom U.S. policymakers, the Trump Administration, and others. For example, on January 31, 2019, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a proposed rule that removes from existing anti-kickback statute safe harbor protection certain reductions in price paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers to Medicare Part D plan sponsors, Medicaid MCOs, and those entities’ pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) and adds two new safe harbors that protect certain point-of-sale price reductions by pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as certain service fee payments from pharmaceutical manufacturer to PBMs. At this time, we cannot predict the impact of this increased scrutiny on the pricing or reimbursement of our products or pharmaceutical products generally.

Sales of our products may continue to be adversely affected by the continuing consolidation of our distribution network and the concentration of our customer base.

Our principal customers are wholesale drug distributors and major retail drug store chains. These customers comprise a significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in the United States. This distribution network is continuing to undergo significant consolidation marked by mergers and acquisitions among wholesale distributors and the growth of large retail drug store chains. As a result, a small number of large wholesale distributors and large chain drug stores control a significant share of the market. We expect that consolidation of drug wholesalers and retailers will increase pricing and other competitive pressures on drug manufacturers, including the Company.

The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, none of our customers are party to any long‑term supply agreements with us, and thus are able to change suppliers freely should they wish to do so.

Developments after a product reaches the market may adversely affect sales of our products.

Even after regulatory approval, certain developments may decrease demand for our products, including the following:

In the past, clinical trials, ~~and~~government, regulatory or other supervisory review and/or post‑marketing surveillance of certain marketed drugs of the Company and of competitors within the industry have raised concerns that have led to recalls, withdrawals or adverse labeling of marketed ~~products.~~products, including the recent recall of our Ozurdex^® product. If previously unknown side effects are discovered or if there is an increase in negative publicity regarding known side effects of any of our products, it could significantly reduce demand for the product or require us to take actions that could negatively affect sales, including removing the product from the market, restricting its distribution or applying for labeling changes.

In addition, certain health authorities, regulators and agencies have increased their focus on safety when assessing the balance of benefits and risks of drugs. Some health authorities appear to have become more cautious when making decisions about approvability of new products and are re‑reviewing select products that are already marketed, adding further to the uncertainties in the regulatory processes. There is also greater regulatory scrutiny, especially in the U.S., on advertising, and promotion (in particular, direct‑to‑consumer advertising) and pricing of pharmaceutical products. Certain regulatory changes or decisions could make it more

difficult for us to sell our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

If we do not successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into our business operations, our business could be adversely affected.

We will need to successfully integrate the operations of ~~recently and pending~~ acquired businesses ~~including LifeCell and Zeltiq,~~ with our business operations.As a result of ~~these and other~~ recent and ~~any other~~ future or pending acquisitions, we have undergone substantial changes in a short period of time and our business has changed and broadened in size and the scope of products we offer. Integrating the operations of multiple new businesses with that of our own is a complex, costly and time‑consuming process, which requires significant management attention and resources to integrate the business practice and operations. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, would preclude realization of the full benefits expected by us. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the businesses in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. Prior to each acquisition, the acquired business operated independently, with its own business, corporate culture, locations, employees and systems. There may be substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in any integration of other businesses with that of our own.

These risks may be heightened in cases where the majority of the former businesses’ operations, employees and customers are located outside of the United States. Any one or all of these factors may increase operating costs or lower anticipated financial performance. Many of these factors are also outside of our control. In addition, dispositions of certain key products, technologies and other rights may affect our business operations.

In addition, even if the operations of the businesses are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of the acquisitions, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that we expect. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frames, or at all. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses. All of these factors could cause a reduction to our earnings, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the transactions, and negatively impact the price of our ordinary shares.

The failure to integrate the business operations of the acquired businesses successfully would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~Any acquisitions of businesses, technologies, or products or other significant transactions could adversely affect our relationships with employees, vendors or key customers.~~

We regularly review potential acquisitions of technologies, products and businesses complementary to our business. Acquisitions typically entail many risks and could result in difficulties in integrating operations, personnel, technologies and products.

~~Refer to “If we do not successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into our business operations, our business could be adversely affected.”~~In connection with acquisitions, we could experience disruption in our business, technology and information systems, financial systems, vendors customer or employee base, including diversion of management’s attention from our continuing operations, among others. Refer to “Certain aspects of our operations are highly dependent upon third-party service providers.”There is also a risk that key employees of companies that we acquire or key employees necessary to successfully commercialize technologies and products that we acquire may seek employment elsewhere, including with our competitors. Furthermore, there may be overlap between our products or customers and the companies that we acquire that may create conflicts in relationships or other commitments detrimental to the integrated businesses.

If we are unsuccessful in our joint ventures and other collaborations, our operating results could suffer.

We have made substantial investments in joint ventures and other collaborations, including our collaborations for Linzess^® and LCA10, and may use these and other methods to develop or commercialize products in the future. These arrangements typically involve other pharmaceutical companies as partners that may be competitors of ours in certain markets. In many instances, we will not control these joint ventures or collaborations or the commercial exploitation of the licensed products, and cannot assure you that these ventures will be profitable. Joint venture or collaboration agreements may place limitations or restrictions on marketing our products. Any such marketing restrictions could affect future revenues and have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our results of operations may suffer if existing joint venture or collaboration partners withdraw, or if these products are not timely developed, approved or successfully commercialized and we cannot guarantee the successful outcome of such efforts, nor that they will result in any intellectual property rights or products that inure to our benefit.

We have incurred ~~and will continue to incur~~ significant transaction, integration and restructuring costs in connection with recent transactions, including our acquisitions of Zeltiq, LifeCell, and the sale of our generics business and certain other assets to Teva.

We have incurred significant transaction costs related to our acquisitions such as Zeltiq, LifeCell, and the sale of our generics business and certain other assets to Teva and may continue to incur significant transaction costs related to past acquisitions. In

addition, we may incur integration costs and restructuring costs as we integrate new businesses. While Allergan has assumed that a certain level of transaction and coordination expenses will be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond Allergan’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these transaction and coordination expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. Although we expect that the realization of benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses may offset these transaction costs, integration costs and restructuring costs over time, no assurances can be made that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term, or at all. The failure to realize the expected benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, as a result of acquiring businesses, technologies or products, or entering into other significant transactions, we may experience significant charges to earnings for merger and related expenses. These costs may include substantial fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, advisors, consultants and severance and other closure costs associated with regulator‑mandated divestitures and the elimination of duplicate or discontinued products, operations and facilities. Charges that we may incur in connection with acquisitions could adversely affect our results of operations for particular quarterly or annual periods.

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year for a number of reasons. As a result, we believe that period‑to‑period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and these comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our operating results and financial condition are also subject to fluctuation from all of the risks described throughout this section. These fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.

Our debt and other financial obligations could impair our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our debt obligations. Any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.

The Zeltiq Acquisition and LifeCell Acquisition contributed the following to the segment in the ~~year~~years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 ($ in millions):

The increase in net revenues in the year ended December 31, ~~2017 over the prior period~~2018 was primarily driven by the Zeltiq Acquisition and the LifeCell Acquisition and growth in Botox^® Therapeutics ~~Facial Aesthetics~~and Botox^® Cosmetics, partially offset by decreases in Restasis^® and the ~~LifeCell and Zeltiq acquisitions.~~

~~The increase in Facial Aesthetics revenues was driven in part by~~and Botox^® Cosmetics ~~which~~ increased ~~$83.0 million, or 11.4%,~~ versus the prior year period primarily ~~due to~~driven by demand growth. ~~Also contributing was an increase in Juvederm~~^® ~~Collection revenues of $54.2 million, or 12.1% versus the prior year period driven primarily by demand and an increase in market share, offset, in part, by an increase in discounts.~~

The decline in ~~Azcone~~Restasis^® revenues ~~of $51.0 million, or 23.5%,~~ was due to ~~genericization~~both price declines and volume declines as a result of ~~the branded acne market, increased discounts to maintain formulary access and a generic~~changes in promotional efforts ahead of an anticipated launch of ~~Aczone 5%.~~

a generic. As a result of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issuing an adverse trial decision finding that the four asserted patents covering Restasis^® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05% are invalid, there is a potential risk for future declines in Restasis^® revenues. The decline in Aczone^® revenues prior to divestiture was due to genericization of the branded acne market, increased discounts to maintain formulary access and a generic launch of Aczone 5%.

The increase in net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily driven by growth in Botox^® Therapeutics, Facial Aesthetics and the LifeCell Acquisition and Zeltiq Acquisition. Botox^® Therapeutics increased versus the prior year period driven by demand growth. The increase in Facial Aesthetics revenues was driven, in part, by Botox^® Cosmetics primarily due to demand growth. Also contributing was an increase in Juvederm^® Collection revenues primarily due to demand and an increase in market share, offset, in part, by an increase in discounts. The decline in Aczone revenues was due to genericization of the branded acne market. ��

The decrease in segment gross margin was due in part to the Zeltiq Acquisition and the LifeCell Acquisition. Excluding Zeltiq Acquisition and the LifeCell Acquisition in both periods, segment gross margin decreased to 94.2% in the year ended December 31, 2018 versus 94.8% in the prior year period primarily due to product mix, including a decline in Restasis^® sales.

The decrease in segment gross margin was primarily the result of the LifeCell Acquisition and the Zeltiq Acquisition, which contributed lower margin products to the segment. Excluding the LifeCell Acquisition and the Zeltiq Acquisition, segment gross margin was 94.8% in the year ended December 31, 2017, in line with 95.0% in the prior year period.

The decrease in selling and marketing expenses in the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily related to lower headcount in the Eye Care and Medical Dermatology field forces due to the Company’s restructuring initiatives, lower promotional costs and a decrease in the charge for the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee, offset in part by the impact of the Zeltiq Acquisition and the LifeCell Acquisition.

The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily ~~relates~~related to increased costs from the LifeCell Acquisition and the Zeltiq Acquisition of $193.9 million as well as increased promotional costs for ~~new products~~ Rhofade^®and Xen. ~~As part of the December 2017 restructuring, the resources dedicated to promoting Medical Dermatology were reduced.~~

The increase in general and administrative expenses iswas primarily due to the ~~acquisitions of~~ LifeCell Acquisition and Zeltiq Acquisition and additional bad debt ~~writeoffs~~write-offs of $7.9 million.

The following table presents top product sales and net contribution for the US General Medicine segment for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 ($ in millions):

The decrease in net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a decline in products that lost exclusivity, including Namenda XR^®, Estrace^® Cream, and Minastrin^® 24, as well as a decline in Other Diversified Brands, offset, in part, by growth in Vraylar^®, Lo Loestrin^® andLinzess^®. CNS revenues declined primarily due to the decline in Namenda XR^® as a result of loss of exclusivity, offset, in part, by strong demand growth for Vraylar^®. Women’s Health revenues declined primarily due to the loss of exclusivity on Estrace^® Cream and Minastrin^® 24, offset, in part, by growth for Lo Loestrin^® driven by higher average selling prices and increased demand. GI revenues increased primarily due to growth for Linzess^® resulting from increased demand which more than offset negative pricing pressure on the product. GI was negatively affected by the generic impact on Asacol^®.

The decrease in net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2017 ~~over the prior period is~~was primarily due to a decline in Diversified Brand revenues, Women’s Health revenues, and Gastrointestinal revenues versus the prior year period, offset, in part, by increases in Other Revenues and CNS revenues.

Diversified Brand revenues ~~declined $124.0 million, or 9.1% versus the prior year period,~~decreased due ~~in part~~ to a decline in Other Diversified Brands and Bystolic^®/ Byvalson^®. Bystolic^®/ Byvalson^®revenues declined as a result of ~~$38.0 million~~decreased demand offset in part by higher average selling prices. Other Diversified Brands declined due to demand declines and the impact of loss of exclusivity on certain products including Enablex^® as well as a decline in PacPharma revenues as the Company out licensed these product rights. Included within “Other Revenues” for the year ended December 31, 2017 iswas an increase in royalty revenues related to these products of $30.3 million. ~~Also contributing to the decline in Diversified Brands is a decline in~~ ~~Bystolic~~^®~~/ Byvalson~~^®~~revenues of $26.6 million, or 4.2% as a result of decreased demand, and the impact of loss of exclusivity on certain products including Enablex~~^®~~. Other Diversified Brands declined $28.7 million or 8.9% due to demand declines.~~

Women’s Health revenues declined ~~$135.4 million, or 11.5%,~~ primarily due to the loss of exclusivity on Minastrin^® 24. Offsetting this decline, in part, ~~are~~were an increase in ~~revenues on our new product,~~ Taytulla^® revenues of $72.4 million and increased sales of Lo Loestrin^® ~~of 13.8%~~ due primarily to strong demand growth and higher average selling prices.

Declines within our Gastrointestinal franchise ~~of $26.0 million, or 1.5%,~~ were primarily driven by a reduction in demand for Asacol^® HD following the launch of an authorized generic in August 2016. Offsetting this decline, in part, iswas an increase in royalty revenue of $34.8 million relating to our authorized generic version of Asacol^® HD, which iswas included within “Other Revenues”. Further offsetting this decline was growth in Linzess^® and newly launched Viberzi^®. Linzess^® revenues increased ~~$75.5 million, or 12.1%, versus the prior year period~~ primarily due to strong demand growth.

The increase in Central Nervous System revenues ~~of $56.3 million, or 4.3%,~~ was driven by the launch of ~~Vraylar™~~Vraylar^® and Namzaric^® offset, in part, by the continued decline in Namenda XR^® due to decreased demand and conversion to Namzaric^®.

The decrease in cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to lower product sales and product mix in addition to the favorable impact of a $29.9 million Linzess^® profit share true-up. Segment gross margin was 85.0% in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 85.4% in the prior year period as a result of product mix including the impact of generics on sales of Estrace^® Cream.

The decrease in cost of sales was the result of lower product revenues and the impact of ~~the Company~~ reacquiring rights on select licensed products in the year ended December 31, 2017 offset, in part, by unfavorable product mix. As ~~part~~a result of the reacquired rights, ~~reacquired,~~ the Company is no longer obligated to pay royalties on the specific products, which increases the ~~Company’s~~ segment gross ~~margin percentage.~~margin. In the year ended December 31, 2016, royalties incurred relating to the reacquired product rights were $71.3 million.

The decrease in selling and marketing expenses ~~relates~~in the year ended December 31, 2018 was related to headcount reductions from the Company’s restructuring initiatives, lower promotional costs, and a decrease in the charge for the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee.

Within total Eye Care, Ozurdex^® decreased versus the prior year period, primarily driven by the third quarter product recall and the temporary period of not shipping product. Plastic Surgery decreased versus the prior year period, primarily driven by a fourth quarter suspension of sales and withdrawal of the remaining textured breast implants from the market in Europe. This suspension and withdrawal followed the non-renewal of our textured breast implant CE Mark licenses in Europe pending a request for additional information by LNE-GMED, the notified body responsible for certification of our breast implants. Sales returns reserves recorded for the recalls totaled $56.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2018.

The increase in net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2017 ~~over the prior period is~~was primarily due to the operational growth of total Facial Aesthetics, Eye Care and Botox^® Therapeutics, as well as the acquisition of Zeltiq, which contributed $73.7 million of net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2017.

⁽¹⁾	~~Includes revenues earned that were distributed through our former Anda Distribution business prior to October 3, 2016 to third party customers.~~

⁽²⁾	~~Excludes amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles including product rights, as well as indirect cost of sales not attributable to segment results~~.

⁽³⁾	~~Defined as net revenues less segment related cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues.~~

~~Net Revenues~~

The increase in net revenues is primarily due to a full year contribution from the Allergan Acquisition versus nine and a half months in the prior year. In addition, the Company acquired the rights to Kybella^®, a facial aesthetic product indicated for submental fullness, in 2015, and launched the product in the fourth quarter of that year. The Company has continued to realize strong organic growth from these products acquired from Allergan, including Restasis^®~~, Ozurdex~~^®~~, Botox~~^®~~, our Juvederm~~^® ~~Collection and the SkinMedica~~^® ~~line.~~

~~Cost of Sales~~

~~The increase in cost of sales was due to a full year contribution from the Allergan Acquisition versus nine and a half months in the prior year.~~

~~Selling and Marketing Expenses~~

The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a full year contribution from the Allergan Acquisition versus nine and a half months in the prior year, as well as increases in selling and marketing efforts for Kybella^®~~, Restasis~~^®~~, Botox~~^® ~~Cosmetics,~~ ~~our Juvederm~~^® ~~Collection, and Botox~~^® ~~Therapeutics.~~

~~General and Administrative Expenses~~

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a full year contribution from the Allergan Acquisition versus nine and a half months in the prior year and an increase due to the Company’s then new operating management structure wherein more costs are directly supporting the operating segments versus corporate functions. Consequently, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of this change. In addition, there was also a period over period increase in compensation costs.

⁽³⁾	~~Defined as net revenues less segment related cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues.~~

~~Net Revenues~~

~~The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by the loss of exclusivity on Namenda~~^® ~~IR, which declined $541.2 million, or 97.3%, versus the prior year period. Namenda XR~~^® contributed revenues of $627.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, a decline of $131.7 million, or 17.3%, versus the prior year period due to a decline in average net selling price to maintain strong formulary coverage, coupled with a decline in demand. The launches of Namzaric^® ~~and Vraylar~~^™ ~~partially offset the impact of the decline of Namenda~~^® ~~IR and Namenda XR~~^®.

~~Growth within our Gastrointestinal franchise was primarily driven by Linzess~~^® ~~and newly launched Viberzi~~^®~~. Linzess~~^® ~~revenues increased $170.8 million, or 37.6%, versus the prior year period primarily due to strong demand growth and price appreciation. The Asacol~~^® ~~/ Delzicol~~^® franchise revenues decreased $192.1 million, or 34.7%, due in part to a reduction in demand as a result of lower promotion and some loss in formulary coverage. In addition, an authorized generic of Asacol^® ~~HD was launched in August of 2016. Offsetting this decline, in part, is royalty revenue of $45.5 million relating to our authorized generic version of Asacol~~^® ~~HD, which is included within “Other Revenues”.~~

~~Our Women’s Healthcare franchise increased $181.6 million, or 18.2%, versus the prior year period. Lo Loestrin~~^® ~~increased 16.5% due to strong demand growth and modest net price appreciation. Estrace~~^® ~~Cream increased 16.3% as a result of net price appreciation and demand growth. Minastrin~~^® ~~24 increased 19.6% primarily as a result of net price appreciation.~~

~~The decline in Diversified Brands revenues was primarily due to loss of exclusivity on certain products and to product divestitures.~~

~~Cost of Sales~~

The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to a decline in product revenues as well as an unfavorable product mix, including increased sales of products that are royalty bearing. Segment gross margins declined to 85.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 85.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015.

~~Selling and Marketing Expenses~~

A modest decrease in selling and marketing expenses was attributable to the overall decline in revenues offset, in part, by redeployment of promotional efforts to key growth brands, including newly launched products Viberzi^® ~~and Vraylar™.~~

~~General and Administrative Expenses~~

The increase in general and administrative expenses was a result of the Company’s then new operating management structure wherein more costs were directly supporting the operating segments versus corporate functions. Consequently, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of this change. In addition, there was also a period over period increase in compensation costs.

~~The material drivers of the period-over-period tax rate movements were as follows:~~

⁽¹⁾

Earnings subject to U.S. federal and state tax had a larger impact on the effective tax rate for the period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the period ended December 31, 2015 due to an increase in expenses in 2016. These expenses included a full year of amortization expense related to intangibles acquired as part of the Allergan Acquisition and incremental costs associated with the acquisition related financing.

⁽²⁾

Earnings subject to tax rates different than the statutory rate had a larger impact on the effective tax rate for the period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the period ended December 31, 2015. This was primarily driven by the inclusion of a full year of Allergan post-acquisition operating income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the Irish statutory rate and changes to the earnings mix resulting from restructuring associated with the sale of the global generics business.

⁽³⁾	In 2016, the Company recorded $6.5 billion of amortization expense. A significant portion of this amount was incurred in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the statutory rate resulting in a $482.3 million favorable impact on the effective tax rate.

⁽⁴⁾	~~In the fourth quarter of 2016, a tax rate change was enacted in France resulting in a $209.0 million tax benefit.~~

⁽⁵⁾	In 2016, the Company recorded a tax expense of $183.8 million predominately related to a change in the valuation allowance on U.S. capital loss carryforwards resulting from restructuring associated with the sale of the global generics business.

October 2016, pursuant to our agreement with Teva, Teva provided the Company with its proposed estimated adjustment to the closing date working capital balance. The Company disagreed with Teva’s proposed adjustment, and, pursuant to our agreement with Teva, each of the Company’s and Teva’s proposed adjustments were submitted to arbitration to determine the working capital amount in accordance with GAAP as applied by the Company consistent with past practice. Teva initially proposed an adjustment of approximately $1.4 billion and subsequently submitted a revised adjustment of approximately $1.5 billion to the arbitrator. In addition, on October 30, 2017, Teva submitted a Notice of Direct and Third Party Claims seeking indemnification for virtually all of the same items for which Teva sought a proposed adjustment in the Working Capital Arbitration as well as several new items as to which no quantity of damages had been asserted.

On January 31, 2018, Allergan plc and Teva entered into the Agreement. The Agreement provides that the Company will make a one-time payment of $700.0 million to Teva; the Company and Teva will jointly dismiss their working capital dispute arbitration, and the Company and Teva will release all actual or potential claims under the Teva Master Purchase Agreement that are known as of the date of the Agreement. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $466.0 million as a component of other (expense) / income, net from discontinued operations relating to the settlement in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting estimates that we believe are important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

~~Inventory Valuation~~

Product Rights and Other ~~Definite-Lived~~Definite Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets with ~~Indefinite-Lives~~Indefinite Lives

Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

Income Taxes

•

~~Defined Benefit Plans~~

~~Contingent Consideration and Other Commitments~~

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and requires management’s best estimates of the underlying data in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available GAAP alternatives would not produce a materially different result.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~General~~

During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, revenue from product sales was recognized when title and risk of loss to the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds, the seller’s price to the buyer to be fixed or determinable and the completion of all performance obligations. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, sales returns and allowances, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs and fee-for-service arrangements with certain distributors, which we refer to in the aggregate as “SRA” allowances.

Royalty and commission revenue is recognized as a component of net revenues in accordance with the terms of their respective contractual agreements when collectability is reasonably assured and when revenue can be reasonably measured.

~~Provisions for SRAs~~

As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When the Company recognizes gross revenue from the sale of products, an estimate of SRA is recorded, which reduces the product revenues. Accounts receivable and/or accrued liabilities are also reduced and/or increased by the SRA amount depending on whether we have the right of offset with the customer. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical relationship of the deductions to gross product revenues, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract sales terms. The estimation process used to determine our SRA provision has been applied on a consistent basis and no material revenue adjustments have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. The Company uses a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of the SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated.

~~Chargebacks~~ — A chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesaler’s customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at certain contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Company’s chargeback payments. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is fairly stated.

~~Rebates~~ — Rebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third-party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally offered to customers as an incentive to use the Company’s products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers’ purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third-party rebates is estimated based on our customers’ contracted rebate programs and the Company’s historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states / authorities, contractual terms and government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.

~~Cash Discounts~~ — Cash discounts are provided to customers that pay within a specific period. The provision for cash discounts is estimated based upon invoice billings and historical customer payment experience. The Company’s experience of payment history is fairly consistent and most customer payments qualify for the cash discount.

~~Returns and Other Allowances~~ ~~— The Company’s provision for returns and other allowances include returns, promotional allowances, and loyalty cards.~~

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Company’s policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.

Promotional allowances are credits that are issued in connection with a product launch or as an incentive for customers to carry our product. The Company establishes a reserve for promotional allowances based upon contractual terms.

~~Loyalty cards allow the end user patients a discount per prescription and are accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.~~

~~The Company’s divested generics business also had the following type of SRAs:~~

Pricing adjustments, included shelf stock adjustments which are credits issued to reflect price decreases in selling prices charged to the Company’s direct customers. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product our customers have in their inventory at the time of an agreed-upon price reduction. The provision for shelf stock adjustments was based upon specific terms with the Company’s customers and includes estimates of existing customer inventory levels based upon their historical purchasing patterns.

Billback adjustments are credits that are issued to certain customers who purchase directly from us as well as indirectly through a wholesaler. These credits are issued in the event there was a difference between the customer’s direct and indirect contract price. The provision for billbacks was estimated based upon historical purchasing patterns of qualified customers who purchase product directly from us and supplement their purchases indirectly through our wholesale customers.

~~Inventory Valuation~~

Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale and distribution, raw materials and work in process. Inventory includes brand pharmaceutical and medical aesthetic products which represents FDA approved or likely to be approved indications. Inventory valuation reserves are established based on a number of factors/situations including, but not limited to, raw materials, work in process or finished goods not meeting product specifications, product obsolescence, or application of the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value) concepts. The determination of events requiring the establishment of inventory valuation reserves, together with the calculation of the amount of such reserves may require judgment. Assumptions utilized in our quantification of inventory reserves include, but are not limited to, estimates of future product demand, consideration of current and future market conditions, product net selling price, anticipated product launch dates, potential product obsolescence and other events relating to special circumstances surrounding certain products. No material adjustments have been required to our inventory reserve estimates for the periods presented. Adverse changes in assumptions utilized in our inventory reserve calculations could result in an increase to our inventory valuation reserves and higher cost of sales.

~~Product Rights and Other Definite-Lived Intangible Assets~~

Our product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the economic benefit model or the straight-line method, if results are materially aligned, over their estimated useful lives. We determine amortization periods for product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets based on our assessment of various factors impacting estimated useful lives and cash flows. Such factors include the product’s position in its life cycle, the existence or absence of like products in the market, various other competitive and regulatory issues, and contractual terms. Significant changes to any of these factors may result in an impairment, a reduction in the intangibles useful life and an acceleration of related amortization expense, which could cause our net results to decline.

Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the

undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in net (loss) / income in the period that the impairment occurs. Assets which are not impaired may require an adjustment to the remaining useful lives for which to amortize the asset. Our projections of discounted cash flows use a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other definite-lived intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the fair value of the other definite-lived intangible assets which could trigger impairment.

~~Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite-Lives~~

~~General~~

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite-lives for impairment annually in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.

Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income and this could result in a material impact to net income / (loss) and income / (loss) per share.

Acquired IPR&D intangible assets represent the value assigned to acquired research and development projects that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that the Company has acquired with respect to products and/or processes that have not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Upon abandonment, the assets are impaired, if there is no future alternative use or ability to sell the asset. Impairment testing requires the development of significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and other costs which may be allocated), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk, market risk and regulatory risk. Changes in these assumptions could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project and commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Upon successful completion of each project and approval of the product, we will make a separate determination of the useful life of the intangible, transfer the amount to currently marketed products (“CMP”) and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.

~~Annual Testing~~

~~2017~~

The Company evaluated goodwill for five reporting units during the second quarter of 2017. The Company performed its annual impairment test utilizing long-term growth rates for its reporting units ranging from 0.0% to 2.0% in its estimation of fair value and discount rates ranging from 7.5% to 8.5%. The factors used in evaluating goodwill for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management. Changes in the key assumptions by management can change the results of testing. The Company determined there was no impairment associated with goodwill.

As part of the annual IPR&D impairment test performed by the Company during 2017, the Company recorded impairment charges. In addition to the Company’s annual IPR&D impairment test, the Company noted IPR&D impairments based on triggering events during the year ended December 31, 2017. Refer to the Year Ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 — IPR&D Impairments and Asset Sales and Impairments, Net section within Item 7. ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~ ~~for the details of the impairments taken in the year ended December 31, 2017.~~

~~2016~~

In connection with the realignment of the Company’s operating segments in the second quarter of 2016, goodwill was reallocated to reporting units under the then new segment structure. The Company evaluated goodwill for six reporting units during the second quarter of 2016. The Company performed its annual impairment test utilizing long-term growth rates for its reporting units ranging from 0% to 2.5% in its estimation of fair value and discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 9.5%. The factors used in evaluating goodwill for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management. Changes in the key assumptions by management can change the results of testing. The Company determined there was no impairment associated with goodwill.

As part of the annual IPR&D impairment test performed by the Company during 2016, the Company recorded impairment charges. In addition to the Company’s annual IPR&D impairment test, the Company noted IPR&D impairments based on triggering events during the year ended December 31, 2016. Refer to the Year Ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 — IPR&D Impairments and Asset Sales and Impairments, Net section within Item 7. ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~ ~~for the details of the impairments taken in the year ended December 31, 2016.~~

~~Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed~~

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the underlying net assets of the acquired business based on their respective fair values as determined using a market participant concept. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

~~The most material line items impacted by the allocation of acquisition fair values are:~~

Intangible assets (including IPR&D assets upon successful completion of the project and approval of the product) which are amortized to amortization expense over the expected life of the asset. Significant judgments are used in determining the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in determining estimates of useful lives of long-lived assets. Fair value determinations and useful life estimates are based on, among other factors, estimates of expected future net cash flows, estimates of appropriate discount rates used to present value expected future net cash flow streams, the timing of approvals and the probability of success for IPR&D projects and the timing of related product launch dates, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the impact of competitive trends on each asset’s life cycle and other factors. These judgments can materially impact the estimates used to allocate acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the future useful lives. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

~~Inventory is recorded at fair market value factoring in selling price and costs to dispose. Inventory acquired is typically valued higher than replacement cost.~~

~~Income Taxes~~

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.

Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the consolidated statements of operations as income tax expense.

The income tax effects of the TCJA have been initially accounted for on a provisional basis pursuant to the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118. Reasonable estimates for all material tax effects of the TCJA (other than amounts related to accounting policy elections) have been provided and adjustments to provisional amounts will be made in subsequent reporting periods as information becomes available to complete provisional computations. The provisional impact of the TCJA for the Federal tax rate change and the resulting deferred tax liability for unremitted earnings will be completed in subsequent measurement periods when the required computations for the 2017 tax year and the related tax returns for the relevant entities have been completed. The final amount for the toll charge is dependent on amounts that cannot be determined until the 2018 financial results of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries are completed. In addition, the IRS continues to issue interpretive guidance on the computation of the tax on deferred foreign earnings and therefore the computations cannot be finalized until all relevant IRS guidance has been promulgated and its impact assessed.

The TCJA introduced an additional U.S. tax on certain non-U.S. subsidiaries’ earnings which are considered to be Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (referred to as “GILTI”). Under this provision, the amount of GILTI included by a U.S. shareholder will be taxed at a rate of 10.5% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset for foreign tax credits.

Due to the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA and the application of ASC 740 and are considering if deferred tax amounts should be recorded for this provision. Our accounting policies depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect material tax liabilities resulting from the application of this provision and, if so, whether and when to record related current and deferred income taxes and whether such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Anticipated further guidance from the IRS will also clarify the manner in which the GILTI tax is computed. For these reasons, we have not recorded a deferred tax expense or benefit relating to potential GILTI tax in our 2017 consolidated financial statements and have not made a policy election regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI or account for the GILTI entirely as a period cost.

~~Defined Benefit Plans~~

The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit plans as an asset or liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The obligations are generally measured at the actuarial present value of all benefits attributable to employee service rendered, as provided by the applicable benefit formula. The estimates of the obligation and related expense of these plans recorded in the financial statements are based on certain assumptions. The most significant assumptions relate to discount rate and expected return on plan assets. Other assumptions used may include employee demographic factors such as compensation rate increases, retirement patterns, expected employee turnover and participant mortality rates. The difference between these assumptions and actual experience results in the recognition of an asset or liability based upon a net actuarial (gain) / loss. If the total net actuarial (gain) / loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) exceeds a threshold of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets, it is subject to amortization and recorded as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average remaining service lives of the employees participating in the pension plan. Net periodic benefit costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Contingent Consideration and Other Commitments

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting practices. The impact to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 was not significant as a result of the adoption. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company’s sales primarily are governed by standard ship and bill terms of pharmaceutical products to customers.

The Company applies the “practical expedient” as defined in Topic 606 to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses are consistent with the accounting prior to the adoption of Topic 606. The Company also elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money for contracts in which the anticipated period between when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays is equal to one year or less.

General

Topic 606 provides that revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods under a contract is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods as specified in the underlying terms with the customer. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs, fee-for-service arrangements with certain distributors, returns, and other allowances which we refer to in the aggregate as sales returns and allowances (“SRA”).

The Company’s performance obligations are primarily achieved when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Transfer of control is based on contractual performance obligations, but typically occurs upon receipt of the goods by the customer as that is when the customer has obtained control of significantly all of the economic benefits.

Prior to the achievement of performance obligations, shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight for a product to be transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in selling and marketing expenses. When the Company sells a business and future royalties are considered as part of the consideration, the Company recognizes the royalties as a component of “other income / (expense), net”.

Other revenues earned are mainly comprised of royalty income from licensing of intellectual property. Royalty income is recognized when the licensee’s subsequent sale occurs.

Refer to “ITEM 7 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for our revenues disaggregated by product and segment and our revenues disaggregated by geography for our international segment. We believe this level of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Significant Payment Terms

A contract with a customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products offered. A customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract and given that most of the products sold contain variable consideration, the amount of revenue recognized incorporates adjustments for SRAs as appropriate.

Determining the Transaction Price

The Company offers discounts and rebates to certain customers who participate in various programs that are referred to as SRA allowances as described further below in the section “Provisions for SRAs”. Such discounting and rebating activity is included as part of the Company’s estimate of the transaction price and is accounted for as a reduction to gross sales. At time of sale, the Company records the related SRA adjustments. The Company performs validation activities each period to assess the adequacy of the liability or contra receivable estimates recorded to reflect actual activity and will adjust the reserve balances accordingly.

Provisions for SRAs

Chargebacks — A chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by such wholesaler customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesaler’s customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at certain contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Company’s chargeback credits. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the contra-receivable for future chargebacks is fairly stated.

Rebates — Rebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third-party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally contractually offered to customers as an incentive to use the Company’s products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers’ purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third-party rebates is estimated based on our customers’ contracted rebate programs and the Company’s historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states and authorities, contractual terms and government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.

Cash Discounts — Cash discounts are provided to customers that pay within a specific time period. The provision for cash discounts is estimated based upon invoice billings and historical customer payment experience. The Company’s experience of payment history is fairly consistent and most customer payments qualify for a cash discount.

Returns and Other Allowances — The Company’s provision for returns and other allowances include returns, promotional allowances and loyalty cards.

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Company’s policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are generally not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.

Promotional allowances are credits with no discernable benefit offered to Allergan that are issued in connection with a product launch or as an incentive for customers to carry our product. The Company establishes a reserve for promotional allowances based upon contractual terms.

Loyalty cards allow end-user patients a discount per prescription and are accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.

Collectability Assessment

At the time of contract inception or customer account set-up, the Company performs a collectability assessment on the creditworthiness of such customer. The Company assesses the probability that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods sold. In evaluating collectability, the Company considers the customer’s ability and intention to pay consideration when it is due. On a recurring basis, the Company estimates the amount of receivables considered uncollectible after sale to the customer to reflect allowances for doubtful accounts. Provision for bad debts, included in general and administrative expenses, were $18.5 million, $11.6 million and $3.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling and marketing expenses.

The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money for contracts in which the anticipated period between when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays is equal to one year or less.

The Company has chosen not to elect the remaining practical expedients.

Product Rights and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets

Our product rights and other definite lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the economic benefit model or the straight-line method, if results are materially aligned, over their estimated useful lives. We determine amortization periods for product rights and other definite lived intangible assets based on our assessment of various factors impacting estimated cash flows. Such factors include the product’s position in its life cycle, the existence or absence of like products in the market, various other competitive and regulatory issues, and contractual terms. Significant changes to any of these factors may result in an impairment, a reduction in the intangibles useful life or an acceleration of related amortization expense, which could cause our net results to decline.

Product rights and other definite lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows over its useful life, including any salvage value. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in net (loss) / income in the period that the impairment occurs. Assets which are not impaired may require an adjustment to the remaining useful lives for which to amortize the asset. Our projections of discounted cash flows use a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other definite lived intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the undiscounted cash flows of the other definite lived intangible assets which could trigger impairment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives

General

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount such as those fourth quarter 2018 triggering events relating to the Company’s General Medicine Reporting Unit as discussed in “NOTE 16 — Goodwill, Product Rights and Other Intangible Assets”. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including Reporting Unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of its Reporting Units and perform a quantitative test as of the measurement date of the test.

Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income / (loss) and this could result in a material impact to net income / (loss) and income / (loss) per share.

Prior to Allergan’s 2018 annual impairment test, the Company adopted the new guidance under Accounting Standard Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment which eliminated step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment loss as of January 1, 2018. A goodwill impairment loss under the new guidance is instead measured using a single step test based on the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Acquired IPR&D intangible assets represent the value assigned to research and development projects acquired in a business combination that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that has not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Upon abandonment, the assets are impaired if there is no future alternative use or ability to sell the asset. Impairment testing requires the development of significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and other costs which may be allocated), determination of the appropriate discount rate in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, assessment of each asset’s life cycle, potential regulatory and commercial success risks, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of IPR&D projects include legal risk, market risk and regulatory risk. Changes in our assumptions could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project and commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Upon successful completion of each project and approval of a product, we will make a separate determination of the useful life of the intangible asset, transfer the amount to currently marketed products (“CMP”) and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.

Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The most material line items impacted by the allocation of acquisition fair values are:

Inventory is recorded at fair market value factoring in selling price and costs to dispose. Inventory acquired is typically valued higher than replacement cost.

Income Taxes

Contingent Consideration and Other Commitments

We determine the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations for business acquisitions based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates, post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations including contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts defined in ASC ~~820.~~Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement,” (“ASC 820”). The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of future revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Changes in assumptions utilized in our contingent consideration fair value estimates could result in an increase or decrease in our contingent consideration obligation and a corresponding charge or reduction to operating results.

We are involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of our business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. We record reserves related to these legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable. Refer to “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document for a description of our significant current legal proceedings.

~~RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS~~

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued~~Recent Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will adopt Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings, the impact of which is not significant. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company has assessed our revenue recognition practices with respect to the agreements for which the Company currently recognizes revenues and has concluded that there is no material impact from the new revenue recognition standard.

~~Under Topic 606, the Company will apply the practical expedient to~~ ~~recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense~~ when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs will be included in selling, general, and administrative expenses which are consistent with current accounting prior to the adoption of Topic 606. The Company will also elect to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money for contracts in which the anticipated period between when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays is equal to one year or less.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which changes the requirement to require equity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 resulted in a reduction of other comprehensive income, net of tax, of approximately $63.0 million with a corresponding increase to retained earnings.Pronouncements

In February 2016, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, which states that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~The~~As of the January 1, 2019 transition date, the right of use (“ROU”) asset and liability were less than 1.0% and less than 2.0% of total Company ~~is evaluating the impact that this pronouncement will have on our financial position~~assets and ~~results of operations.~~liabilities, respectively.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets including trade receivables held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company ~~is evaluating~~evaluated the impact ~~if any, that~~of this pronouncement ~~will have on our financial position~~ and ~~results of operations.~~

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition on recognition is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. The amendment toconcluded that the guidance ~~eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and requires an entity~~is not expected to recognize the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of the amendment are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of the guidance on January 1, 2018 resulted in an increase to retained earnings of $356.2 million and a corresponding reduction in net tax liabilities.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments to the guidance are intended to help companies evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. When substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. This amendment introduces an initial required screening that, if met, eliminates the need for further assessment. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To be a business without outputs, there will need to be an organized workforce. The ASU also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The changes to the definition of a business may result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments to the guidance eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. These amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. These amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle should be disclosed upon transition. These amendments are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of these amendments are not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments to the guidance require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. In addition, the amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate the standard having a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In March 2017, ~~The~~the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date, but does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Entities are required to apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The entity is required to provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle in the period of adoption. The Company ~~is evaluating~~evaluated the impact of these amendments ~~will~~and the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion provides forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. Market risk represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the value of financial instruments. The risk of loss is assessed based on the likelihood of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows or future earnings. We are exposed to market risk for changes in the market values of our investments (Investment Risk), the impact of interest rate changes (Interest Rate Risk) and the impact of foreign currency exchange changes (Foreign Currency Exchange Risk).

We maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and government agency obligations with ratings of A or better and money market funds. Our investments in marketable securities are governed by our investment policy which seeks to preserve the value of our principal, provide liquidity and maximize return on the Company’s investment against minimal interest rate risk. Consequently, our interest rate and principal risk are minimal on our non-equity investment portfolio. The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth below.

Investment Risk

As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, our total investments in marketable and equity securities of other companies, including equity method investments, but excluding securities considered cash and cash equivalents, were ~~$4,704.4~~$1,072.9 million (included in marketable securities and investments and other assets). The fair values of these investments are subject to significant fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market and changes in general economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned 95.9 million Teva ordinary shares, which are subject to changes in value based on the price of Teva shares. As of February 13, 2018, the Company owned approximately 40.0 million Teva ordinary shares.

We regularly review the carrying value of our investments and identify and recognize losses for income statement purposes, when events and circumstances indicate that any declines in the fair values of such investments below our accounting basis are other-than-temporary, including the other-than-temporary impairment of Teva securities in the year ended December 31, 2017 of $3,273.5 million.purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our non-equity investment portfolio. Our cash is invested in money market securities.

Our ~~portfolio of~~permitted investments in marketable securities ~~includes~~include highly liquid money market securities classified as available-for-sale ~~securities, with no~~securities. No security ~~having~~as of December 31, 2018 has a maturity in excess of one year. These investments include floating rate securities that are exposed to interest rate fluctuations. Because of the short-term nature of these investments, we are subject to minimal interest rate risk and do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a significant negative impact on the ~~realized~~ value of our portfolio.

Floating Rate Debt

At December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, borrowings outstanding under the floating rate notes were ~~$1,840.4~~$2,105.4 million. Assuming a one percent increase in the applicable interest rate on the Company’s floating rates notes, annual interest expense would increase by approximately ~~$18.4~~$21.1 million over the next twelve months.

In January 2019, Allergan entered into $500 million notional float to fixed interest rate swaps maturing on March 12, 2020 whereby it fixed the interest rates on $500.0 million floating rate notes due March 12, 2020 to an average interest rate of 3.98%. The swaps are anticipated to be a highly effective cash flow hedge and qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Fixed Rate Debt

The Company has outstanding borrowings under its fixed rate notes. Changes in market interest rates generally affect the fair value of ~~fixed rate~~fixed-rate debt, but do not impact earnings or cash flows.

Euro Denominated Debt

The Company has outstanding borrowings under its Euro denominated notes. Changes in foreign exchange rates may impact cash flows for principal and interest.

Interest Rate

The Company may use interest rate swap contracts on certain investing and borrowing transactions to manage its net exposure to interest rate changes and its overall cost of borrowing. The Company does not use leveraged swaps and does not leverage any of its fixed income investments that would put principal capital at risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Overall, we are a net recipient of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, benefit from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may negatively affect our consolidated revenues or operating costs and expenses as expressed in U.S. dollars.

From time to time, we ~~have entered~~enter into foreign currency ~~option and~~ forward ~~contracts. Accordingly, we have entered into various~~ contracts which change in value as foreign exchange rates change to allow the Company ~~at its option~~ to economically offset the effect of changes in the value of foreign currency assets and ~~liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and operating expenses.~~liabilities. We have entered into foreign currency ~~option and~~ forward contracts in amounts between minimum and maximum existing or anticipated foreign exchange exposures.

~~From time~~The Company is subject to ~~time, we have used foreign currency option contracts,~~transactional items which provide for the sale or purchase of foreign currencies, if exercised, to economically hedge the currency exchange risks associated with probable but not firmly committed transactions that arise in the normal course of our business. Probable but not firmly committed transactions are ~~comprised primarily of sales of products and purchases of raw material~~denominated in currencies other than the ~~U.S. dollar. While these instruments were subject to fluctuations~~functional currency and therefore movements in ~~value, such fluctuations were anticipated to offset changes in the value of the underlying exposures.~~

~~While the Company does not believe it has significant exposure to foreign~~ exchange ~~we are subject to transactional items which~~rates may impact the results of operations. Net foreign currency losses / (gains) reflected in general and ~~losses on the results of operations~~administrative expenses were $28.8 million, $97.5 million ~~($52.8) million~~ and ~~($82.1)~~$(52.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The currency for Argentina was deemed hyperinflationary in the third quarter of 2018 and ~~2015, respectively.~~is now being accounted for using the Company’s functional currency. The impact is immaterial to the Company’s operations.

In November 2018, the Company entered into a 700 million Euro forward contract to buy Euros while selling USD. The derivative has a maturity of May 31, 2019. The derivative instrument will be marked-to-market to the P&L offsetting the revaluation (P&L) impact on the Euro 700 million variable interest debt. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $5.9 million relating to this instrument.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international operations from foreign currency purchases, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business, including the Euro Denominated Notes. In the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, we used effective net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The total notional amount of our instruments designated as net investment hedges was $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2018 and $3.6 billion as of December 31, 2017. During the ~~year~~years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the impact of the net investment hedges onrecorded in other comprehensive (loss) / income was a gain of $144.5 million and a loss of ~~$191.8 million.~~$208.2 million, respectively.

Other

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our revenues or operations, nor do we have any material commodity price risks.

Management’s Reports on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. We maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management of Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited has assessed the effectiveness of Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, based on criteria set forth in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management concluded that Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, ~~2017.~~

On February 1, 2017, the Company completed the LifeCell Acquisition. We excluded LifeCell Corporation from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 because it was acquired by the Company in a business purchase combination during 2017. LifeCell, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, whose total assets represent approximately 0.3% of total assets and whose net revenues represent approximately 2.8% of net revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

On April 28, 2017, the Company completed the Zeltiq Aesthetics Acquisition. We excluded Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc. from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 because it was acquired by the Company in a business purchase combination during 2017. Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, whose total assets represent approximately 1.1% of total assets and whose net revenues represent approximately 2.1% of net revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

The effectiveness of Allergan plc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein. The effectiveness of Warner Chilcott Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, has not been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm.

~~Remediation of Prior Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting~~

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management previously identified and disclosed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting processes over the assessment of tax implications of certain transactions between our subsidiaries. This control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement of our current or prior period consolidated financial statements. However, this control deficiency could have resulted in a misstatement to the income tax accounts and disclosures, which would have resulted in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management previously concluded that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

In response to this material weakness, changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including identifying personnel with responsibility for assessing the tax implications of certain transactions between our subsidiaries, in addition to enhancing certain reports, refining our internal reporting structure, hiring additional resources and redesigning existing controls and income tax reporting policies and procedures to ensure the implications of certain transactions between our subsidiaries are fully analyzed.

The Company has completed the documentation and testing of the corrective actions described above and, as of December 31, 2017, has concluded that the remediation activities completed are sufficient to allow us to conclude that the previously disclosed material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting of Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited

During the quarter ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Allergan ~~plc:~~plc

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allergan plc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss)/income, ~~shareholders’~~ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a) (2) (collectively referred to as the ~~“consolidated~~“consolidated financial statements”).We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2017~~ 2018and ~~2016,~~ 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2017~~ 2018in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for income taxes and the manner in which it accounts for goodwill in 2018.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Allergan plc appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ~~("PCAOB")~~(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits inin accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Allergan plc, management has excluded Lifecell Corporation and Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2017. We have also excluded Lifecell Corporation and Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Lifecell Corporation and Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent approximately 1.4% and 4.9%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

To the Board of Directors and Members of Warner Chilcott ~~Limited:~~Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Warner Chilcott Limitedand its subsidiaries(the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss)/income, ~~member’s~~ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)(2) (collectively referred to as the ~~“consolidated~~“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for income taxes and the manner in which it accounts for goodwill in 2018.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ~~(“PCAOB”)~~(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — Description of Business

Allergan plc is a global pharmaceutical ~~company~~leader. Allergan is focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing branded pharmaceutical,~~(“brand”, “branded” or “specialty brand”)~~, device, biologic, surgical and regenerative medicine products for patients around the world. Allergan markets a portfolio of leading brands and best-in-class products ~~for the~~primarily focused on four key therapeutic areas including medical aesthetics, eye care, central nervous system ~~eye care, medical aesthetics~~ and ~~dermatology, gastroenterology, women’s health, urology and anti-infective therapeutic categories.~~ gastroenterology. Allergan is an industry leader in Open Science, a model of research and development, which defines our approach to identifying and developing game-changing ideas and innovation for better patient care. The Company has operations in more than 100 countries. Warner Chilcott Limited is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allergan plc and has the same principal business activities.

On August 2, 2016 we completed the divestiture of our global generics business and certain other assets to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”) (the “Teva Transaction”) for $33.3 billion in cash, net of cash acquired by Teva, which included estimated working capital and other contractual adjustments, and 100.3 million unregistered Teva ordinary shares (or American Depository Shares with respect thereto)~~, which at the time of the closing approximated $5.0 billion in value using the closing date Teva opening stock price discounted at a rate of 5.9 percent due to the lack of marketability~~ (“Teva Shares”). As part of the Teva Transaction, Teva acquired our global generics business, including the United States (“U.S.”) and international generic commercial units, our third-party supplier Medis, our global generic manufacturing operations, our global generic research and development (“R&D”) unit, our international over-the-counter (“OTC”) commercial unit (excluding OTC eye care products) and certain established international brands.

On October 3, 2016, the Company completed the divestiture of the Anda Distribution business to Teva for $500.0 million. The Anda Distribution business distributed generic, branded, specialty and OTC pharmaceutical products from more than 300 manufacturers to retail independent and chain pharmacies, nursing homes, mail order pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and physician offices across the U.S.

In October 2016, pursuant to our agreement with Teva, Teva provided the Company with its proposed estimated adjustment to the closing date working capital balance. The Company disagreed with Teva’s proposed adjustment, and, pursuant to our agreement with Teva, each of the Company’s and Teva’s proposed adjustments were submitted to arbitration (“Working Capital Arbitration”) to determine the working capital amount in accordance with GAAP as applied by the Company consistent with past practice. Teva initially proposed an adjustment of approximately $1.4 billion and subsequently submitted a revised adjustment of approximately $1.5 billion to the arbitrator. In addition, on October 30, 2017, Teva submitted a Notice of Direct and Third Party Claims seeking indemnification for virtually all of the same items for which Teva sought a proposed adjustment in the Working Capital Arbitration as well as several new items as to which no quantity of damages had been asserted. On January 31, 2018, Allergan plc and Teva entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Releases (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides that the Company will make a one-time payment of $700.0 million to Teva; the Company and Teva will jointly dismiss their working capital dispute arbitration, and the Company and Teva will release all actual or potential claims under the Master Purchase Agreement, dated July 26, 2015, by and between the Company and Teva, for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant (other than any breach of a post-closing covenant not known as of the date of the Agreement). The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $466.0 million as a component of other (expense) / income, net from discontinued operations relating to the settlement in the year ended December 31, 2017.2016.

As a result of the Teva Transaction and the divestiture of the Company’s Anda Distribution business, and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” the financial results of the businesses held for sale were reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. The results of our discontinued operations include the results of our generic product development, manufacturing and distribution of off-patent pharmaceutical products, certain established international brands marketed similarly to generic products and out-licensed generic pharmaceutical products primarily in Europe through our Medis third-party business through August 2, 2016, as well as our Anda Distribution business through October 3, 2016.

NOTE 2 — Formation of the Company

Allergan plc ~~(formerly known as Actavis plc)~~ was incorporated in Ireland on May 16, 2013 as a private limited company and re-registered effective September 20, 2013 as a public limited company. It was established for the purpose of facilitating the business combination between Allergan Finance, LLC (formerly known as Actavis, Inc.) and Warner Chilcott plc (“Warner Chilcott”). Following the consummation of the acquisition of Warner Chilcott ~~acquisition~~ on October 1, 2013 (the “Warner Chilcott Acquisition”), Allergan Finance, LLC and Warner Chilcott became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allergan plc. Each of Allergan Finance, LLC’s common shares was converted into one Company ordinary share. Effective October 1, 2013, through a series of related-party transactions, Allergan plc contributed its indirect subsidiaries, including Allergan Finance, LLC, to its subsidiary Warner Chilcott Limited.

Except where otherwise indicated, and excluding certain insignificant cash and non-cash transactions at the Allergan plc level, the consolidated financial statements and disclosures are for two separate registrants, Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited. The results of Warner Chilcott Limited are consolidated into the results of Allergan plc. Due to the deminimis activity between Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited, references throughout this document relate to both Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited. Refer to “Note 3 —Reconciliation of Warner Chilcott Limited results to Allergan plc results” in the accompanying “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this document for a summary of the details on the differences between Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limited.

On March 17, 2015, the Company acquired Allergan, Inc. (“Legacy Allergan”) for approximately $77.0 billion including outstanding indebtedness assumed of $2.2 billion, cash consideration of $40.1 billion and equity consideration of $34.7 billion, which included then outstanding equity awards (the “Allergan Acquisition”). Under the terms of the agreement, Legacy Allergan shareholders received 111.2 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, 7.0 million of the Company’s non-qualified stock options and 0.5 million of the Company’s share units. The addition of Legacy Allergan’s therapeutic franchises in ophthalmology, neurosciences and medical aesthetics/dermatology/plastic surgery complemented the Company’s existing central nervous system, gastroenterology, women’s health and urology franchises. The combined company benefits from Legacy Allergan’s global brand equity and consumer awareness of key products, including Botox^®. The transaction expanded our presence and market and product reach across many international markets, with strengthened commercial positions across Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia and other high-value growth markets, including China, India, the Middle East and Latin America.

In connection with the Allergan Acquisition, the Company changed its name from Actavis plc to Allergan plc. Actavis plc’s ordinary shares were traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ACT” until the opening of trading on June 15, 2015, at which time Actavis plc changed its corporate name to “Allergan plc” and changed its ticker symbol to “AGN.” Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Allergan plc ~~is the successor issuer to Actavis plc’s~~“AGN” ordinary shares ~~and Actavis plc’s mandatory convertible preferred shares, both of which~~ are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, ~~and Allergan plc is~~are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

References throughout to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “Allergan” refer to financial information and transactions of Allergan plc. References to “Warner Chilcott Limited” refer to Warner Chilcott Limited, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

NOTE 4 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial results of all acquired companies subsequent to the acquisition date.

~~Reclassifications~~Implementation of New Guidance

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued~~

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. ~~2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements~~2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to ~~Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting~~those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for annualreporting periods beginning after ~~December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Effective~~ January 1, ~~2017, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance~~2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and ~~as a result of implementation, the Company reduced previously~~continue to be reported Retained Earnings by $62.4 million and increased previously reported Additional-Paid-In-Capital by $62.4 million. In addition, the Company decreased its net Deferred Tax Liabilities and increased Retained Earnings by $20.8 million for the taxin accordance with our historical accounting practices. The impact of this change. The Company also revised its presentation of previously reported cash flows by eliminating the presentation of “Excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation” which raised operating cash flows and reduced financing cash flowsto revenues for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2018 was not significant as a result of the adoption. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company’s sales primarily are governed by ~~$20.4 million.~~standard ship and bill terms of pharmaceutical products to customers.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, which now requires equity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. Under the previous guidance, changes in the fair value of equity securities were recognized through other comprehensive income.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Previously, GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition on recognition was an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. The amendment to the guidance eliminated the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and required an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs.

The following represents the impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the adoption on January 1, 2018 of these accounting pronouncements ($ in millions):

	Increase / (decrease)
Pronouncement	Accounts receivable, net		Prepaid expenses and other current assets			Accounts payable and accrued expenses			Deferred tax liabilities			Retained earnings		Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss)
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09	$	1.9	$	-		$	(3.6	)	$	-		$	5.5	$	-
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01	$	-	$	-		$	-		$	-		$	63.0	$	(63.0	)	*
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16	$	-	$	(44.8	)	$	-		$	(401.0	)	$	356.2	$	-
* The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018. The new standard required modified retrospective adoption through 2018 beginning Retained Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This was incorrectly recorded as a loss through Other Comprehensive Income of $63.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. This was corrected for during 2018 and therefore, has no impact on the annual consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that the adjustment was not material to any previously reported interim periods.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. As a result of the guidance, the Company retrospectively applied the standard which resulted in a reclassification of debt extinguishment costs from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities. As a result of the application of the guidance, cash flows from operating activities increased by $205.6 million and cash flows from financing activities decreased by $205.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2017.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This update requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic benefit cost. Upon adoption, the Company recorded other components of the net periodic benefit cost with “other income / (expense), net.”

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) — Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which now better aligns the Company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments also make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and ease the administrative burden of hedge documentation requirements and assessing hedge effectiveness on a prospective basis. After the adoption, the Company presents the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument in the same income statement line item(s) as the earnings effect of the hedged item when that hedged item affects earnings.

Use of Estimates

Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions in order to prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported financial statements. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the determination of SRAs (defined below) included within either accounts receivable or accrued liabilities, the valuation of inventory balances, the determination of useful lives for intangible assets, pension and other post-retirement benefit plan assumptions, the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment and recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at fair value. The estimation process required to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

For most of the Company’s international operations, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders’ equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive (loss) / income. The translational effects of revaluing non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company realizes foreign currency gains / (losses) in the normal course of business based on movement in the applicable exchange rates. These transactional gains / (losses) are included as a component of general and administrative expenses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash in banks, commercial paper and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date acquired of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and other receivables, investments, trade accounts payable, and long-term debt, including the current portion. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and other receivables and trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to their relatively short maturities. The fair values of investments in companies that are publicly traded ~~and not accounted for under the equity method~~ are based on quoted market prices. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate long-term obligations based on quoted market rates.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale and distribution, raw materials and work in process. Inventory includes brand ~~pharmaceutical~~ and ~~medical~~ aesthetic products which represent Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved or likely to be approved indications. Inventory valuation reserves are established based on a number of factors/situations including, but not limited to, raw materials, work in process or finished goods not meeting product specifications, product obsolescence, or application of the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or ~~market (net~~net realizable ~~value)~~value concepts. The determination of events requiring the establishment of inventory valuation reserves, together with the calculation of the amount of such reserves may require judgment. Assumptions utilized in our quantification of inventory reserves include, but are not limited to, estimates of future product demand, consideration of current and future market conditions, product net selling price, anticipated product launch dates, competition and potential product obsolescence and other events relating to special circumstances surrounding certain products. No material adjustments have been required to our inventory reserve estimates for the periods presented. Adverse changes in assumptions utilized in our inventory reserve calculations could result in an increase to our inventory valuation reserves and higher cost of sales.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized if they add functionality or extend the life of the asset, while routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes interest on qualified construction projects. At the time property, plant and equipment are retired from service, the cost and accumulated depreciation isare removed from the respective accounts.

Depreciation expense is computed principally on the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The following table provides the range of estimated useful lives used for each asset type:

Computer software/hardware (including internally developed)		3-10 years
Machinery and equipment		3-15 years
Research and laboratory equipment		3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures		3-10 years
Buildings, improvements, leasehold improvements and other		4-50 years
Transportation equipment		3-20 years

The Company assesses property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Investments

The Company’s equity investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company can exert significant influence and the Company’s ownership interest does not exceed 50%. The Company records equity method investments at cost and adjusts for the appropriate share of investee net earnings or losses. Investments in which the Company owns less than a 20% interest and cannot exert significant influence are recorded at fair value and the Company recognizes any changes in fair value in net income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the Company may make a separate election for each eligible investment to use a measurement alternative until the investment’s fair value becomes readily determinable. Under the alternative method, the equity investments are accounted for ~~using~~at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the ~~cost method if the fair value of such investments is not readily determinable.~~same issuer.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury and agency securities and debt and equity securities of publicly-held companies. The Company’s marketable securities are ~~classified as available-for-sale and are~~ recorded at fair value, based upon quoted market ~~prices. Unrealized temporary adjustments~~prices with an offset to fair value were included on the balance sheet in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as unrealized gains and losses and are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) as of December 31, 2017. No gains or losses on marketable securities are realized until shares are sold or a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.interest income.

Product Rights and Other ~~Definite-Lived~~Definite Lived Intangible Assets

Our product rights and other ~~definite-lived~~definite lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the economic benefit model or the straight-line method, if results are materially aligned, over their estimated useful lives. We determine amortization periods for product rights and other ~~definite-lived~~definite lived intangible assets based on our assessment of various factors impacting estimated ~~useful lives and~~ cash flows. Such factors include the product’s position in its life cycle, the existence or absence of like products in the market, various other competitive and regulatory issues, and contractual terms. Significant changes to any of these factors may result in an impairment, a reduction in the intangibles useful life ~~and~~or an acceleration of related amortization expense, which could cause our net results to decline.

Product rights and other ~~definite-lived~~definite lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted pre-tax future cash ~~flows.~~flows over its useful life, including any salvage value. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in net (loss) / income in the period that the impairment occurs. Assets which are not impaired may require an adjustment to the remaining useful lives for which to amortize the asset. Our projections of discounted cash flows use a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of future cash flows attributable to our other ~~definite-lived~~definite lived intangible assets require significant judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors. Different assumptions and judgments could materially affect the calculation of the ~~fair value~~undiscounted cash flows of the other ~~definite-lived~~definite lived intangible assets which could trigger impairment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets with ~~Indefinite-Lives~~Indefinite Lives

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with ~~indefinite-lives~~indefinite lives for impairment annually in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying ~~amount.~~amount such as those fourth quarter 2018 triggering events relating to the Company’s General Medicine Reporting Unit as discussed in “NOTE 16 — Goodwill, Product Rights and Other Intangible Assets”. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.

Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets represent the value assigned to ~~acquired~~ research and development projects acquired in a business combination that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that ~~the Company~~ has ~~acquired with respect to products and/or processes that have~~ not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Upon abandonment, the assets are impaired if there is no future alternative use or ~~no market for which~~ability to sell the asset. Impairment testing requires the development of significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and other costs which may be allocated), determination of the appropriate discount rate ~~to select~~ in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, ~~the~~ assessment of each asset’s life cycle, ~~the~~ potential regulatory and commercial success risks, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of ~~the~~ IPR&D projects include legal risk, market risk and regulatory risk. Changes in ~~these~~our assumptions could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project and commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Upon successful completion of each project and approval of ~~the~~a product, we will make a separate determination of the useful life of the intangible asset, transfer the amount to currently marketed products (“CMP”) and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.

Contingent Consideration

~~Contingent consideration is recorded at~~We determine the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations for business acquisitions based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates, post-tax gross profit levels and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations including contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement,” (“ASC 820”). The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the ~~contingent payment for all applicable acquisitions. The~~ fair value of the contingent consideration ~~is remeasured at each reporting period~~obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of future revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with ~~any adjustments~~respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Changes in assumptions utilized in our contingent consideration fair value ~~included~~estimates could result in an increase or decrease in our ~~consolidated statements of operations. (Refer~~contingent consideration obligation and a corresponding charge or reduction to operating results. Refer to “NOTE 2324 — Fair Value Measurement” for additional details regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.)

Revenue Recognition

General

~~During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, revenue from product sales was~~Topic 606 provides that revenues are recognized when ~~title and risk~~control of ~~loss~~the promised goods under a contract is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the product transfers to the customer, which is based on the transaction shipping terms. Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds, the seller’s price to the buyerconsideration we expect to be ~~fixed or determinable and~~entitled to in exchange for those goods as specified in the ~~completion of all performance obligations.~~underlying terms with the customer. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, ~~sales returns and allowances,~~ commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs, ~~and~~ fee-for-service arrangements with certain distributors, returns, and other allowances which we refer to in the aggregate as ~~“SRA”~~sales returns and allowances (“SRA”).

~~Royalty~~

Prior to the achievement of performance obligations, shipping and ~~commission revenue is recognized~~handling costs associated with outbound freight for a product to be transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in selling and marketing expenses. When the Company sells a business and future royalties are considered as part of the consideration, the Company recognizes the royalties as a component of ~~net~~“other income / (expense), net”.

Other revenues ~~in accordance~~earned are mainly comprised of royalty income from licensing of intellectual property. Royalty income is recognized when the licensee’s subsequent sale occurs.

Refer to “NOTE 21 – Segments” for our revenues disaggregated by product and segment and our revenues disaggregated by geography for our international segment. We believe this level of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Significant Payment Terms

A contract with a customer states the final terms of ~~their respective contractual agreements when collectability~~the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products offered. A customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract and given that most of the products sold contain variable consideration, the amount of revenue recognized incorporates adjustments for SRAs as appropriate.

Determining the Transaction Price

The Company offers discounts and rebates to certain customers who participate in various programs that are referred to as SRA allowances as described further below in the section “Provisions for SRAs”. Such discounting and rebating activity is ~~reasonably assured~~included as part of the Company’s estimate of the transaction price and ~~when revenue can be reasonably measured.~~is accounted for as a reduction to gross sales. At time of sale, the Company records the related SRA adjustments. The Company performs validation activities each period to assess the adequacy of the liability or contra receivable estimates recorded to reflect actual activity and will adjust the reserve balances accordingly.

Provisions for SRAs

As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are variable consideration accounted for as SRAs. The Company estimates SRA amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers, which reduces the revenues recognized. The Company believes that there will not be significant changes to our ~~gross product sales are subject to~~estimates of variable consideration. The Company uses a variety of ~~deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When~~methods to assess the ~~Company recognizes gross revenue from the sale~~adequacy of ~~products, an estimate of SRA is recorded, which reduces the product revenues. Accounts receivable and/or accrued liabilities are also reduced and/or increased by~~ the SRA ~~amount depending on whether we have the right of offset with the customer.~~reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, the historical relationship of the deductions to gross product revenues, government regulations, estimated utilization or redemption rates, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract sales terms. The estimation process used to determine our SRA ~~provision~~provisions has been applied on a consistent basis and no material revenue adjustments to total reported revenues have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. ~~The Company uses a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of the SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated.~~

Chargebacks — A chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid by ~~our wholesale~~such wholesaler customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesaler’s customer pays for that product. The chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at certain contract prices. The Company validates the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent the vast majority of the recipients of the Company’s chargeback ~~payments.~~credits. We continually monitor current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the ~~liability~~contra-receivable for future chargebacks is fairly stated.

Rebates — Rebates include volume related incentives to direct and indirect customers, third-party managed care and Medicare Part D rebates, Medicaid rebates and other government rebates. Rebates are accrued based on an estimate of claims to be paid for product sold into trade by the Company. Volume rebates are generally contractually offered to customers as an incentive to use the Company’s products and to encourage greater product sales. These rebate programs include contracted rebates based on customers’ purchases made during an applicable monthly, quarterly or annual period. The provision for third-party rebates is estimated based on our customers’ contracted rebate programs and the Company’s historical experience of rebates paid. Any significant changes to our customer rebate programs are considered in establishing the provision for rebates. The provisions for government rebates are based, in part, upon historical experience of claims submitted by the various states /and authorities, contractual terms and government regulations. We monitor legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on our provision.

Returns and Other Allowances — The Company’s provision for returns and other allowances include returns, promotional allowances and loyalty cards.

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a returns policy that allows customers to return product for a credit. In accordance with the Company’s policy, credits for customer returns of products are applied against outstanding account activity or are settled in cash. Product exchanges are generally not permitted. Customer returns of product are generally not resalable. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience and current trends of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating the current period returns provision, including levels of inventory in the distribution channel, as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns.

Loyalty cards allow ~~the end user~~end-user patients a discount per prescription and are accrued based on historical experience, contract terms and the volume of product and cards in the distribution channel.

Collectability Assessment

At the time of contract inception or customer account set-up, the Company performs a collectability assessment on the creditworthiness of such customer. The ~~following table summarizes~~Company assesses the ~~activity from discontinued operations~~probability that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods sold. In evaluating collectability, the Company considers the customer’s ability and intention to pay consideration when it is due. On a recurring basis, the Company estimates the amount of receivables considered uncollectible after sale to the customer to reflect allowances for doubtful accounts. Provision for bad debts, included in general and administrative expenses, were $18.5 million, $11.6 million and $3.5 million in the ~~Company’s major categories of SRA ($ in millions):~~years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Litigation and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business, including product liability litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation and other litigation. Additionally, the Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need to record a liability for contingencies on a case-by-case basis in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”). Accruals are recorded when the Company determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment efforts progress or as additional information becomes available. ~~Acquired contingencies in business combinations are recorded at fair value to the extent determinable, otherwise in accordance with ASC 450.~~ Refer to “NOTE 2425 — Commitments and Contingencies” for more information.

R&D Activities

R&D activities are expensed as incurred and consist of self-funded R&D costs, the costs associated with work performed under collaborative R&D agreements, regulatory fees, and acquisition and license related milestone payments, if any.

As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, we are developing a number of products, some of which utilize novel drug delivery systems, through a combination of internal and collaborative programs including but not limited to the following:

Allocation of Acquisition Fair Values to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The most material line items impacted by the allocation of acquisition fair values are:

Inventory is recorded at fair market value factoring in selling price and costs to dispose. Inventory acquired is typically valued higher than replacement cost.

Income Taxes

The income tax effects of the TCJA have been initially accounted for on a provisional basis pursuant to the guidance in Staff Accouting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118. Reasonable estimates for all material tax effects of the TCJA (other than amounts related to accounting policy elections) have been provided and adjustments to provisional amounts will be made in subsequent reporting periods as information becomes available to complete provisional computations. The provisional impact of the TCJA for the Federal tax rate change and the resulting deferred tax liability for unremitted earnings will be completed in subsequent measurement periods when the required computations for the 2017 tax year and the related tax returns for the relevant entities have been completed. The final amount for the toll charge is dependent on amounts that cannot be determined until the 2018 financial results of certain non-US subsidiaries are completed. In addition, the IRS continues to issue interpretive guidance on the computation of the tax on deferred foreign earnings and therefore the computations cannot be finalized until all relevant IRS guidance has been promulgated and its impact assessed.

~~Due to the complexity~~ After consideration of the ~~new GILTI~~relevant guidance and completing the accounting for the tax ~~rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision~~effects of the TCJA, ~~and~~ the ~~application of ASC 740 and are considering if deferred tax amounts should be recorded for this provision. Our accounting policies depend, in part, on analyzing our global income~~Company has elected to determine whether we expect material tax liabilities resulting from the application of this provision, and, if so, whether and when to record related current and deferred income taxes and whether such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Anticipated further guidance from the IRS will also clarify the manner in which thetreat GILTI tax is computed. For these reasons, we have not recorded a deferred tax expense or benefit relating to potential GILTI tax in our 2017 consolidated financial statements and have not made a policy election regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI or account for the GILTI entirely as a period cost.

Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

Comprehensive income / (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to the Company’s stockholders. Other comprehensive income / (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income / (loss), but excluded from net income / (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income / (loss) is primarily comprised of ~~unrealized gains / (losses) on certain holdings of publicly traded equity and debt securities, investments in U.S. treasury and agency securities and~~ actuarial gains / (losses), the impact of hedging transactions, pension liabilities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

The Company computes EPS in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) / income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during a period. Diluted EPS is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of ordinary shares, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted EPS also includes the impact of ordinary share equivalents ~~to be~~ issued (or issuable in 2017) upon the mandatory conversion of the Company’s preferred ~~shares.~~shares which occurred on March 1, 2018. Ordinary share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to continuing operations.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS ~~consisted of the following~~follows ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has defined contribution plans that are post-employment benefit plans under which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated statement of operations in the periods during which the related services were rendered.

Defined Benefit Plans

~~Share-based~~Share-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted several equity award plans which authorize the granting of options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and other forms of equity awards of the Company’s ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions.

The Company grants awards with the following features:

Time-based ~~vesting~~ restricted stock and restricted stock ~~units awards;~~unit awards (including, in certain foreign jurisdictions, cash-settled restricted stock unit awards, which are recorded as a liability);

Cash-settled performance-based awards are recorded as a liability. These cash-settled performance-based awards were measured against pre-established total shareholder returns metrics.

Restructuring Costs

The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, employee severance costs are accrued when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. The Company also incurs costs with contract terminations and costs of transferring products as part of restructuring activities. Refer to “NOTE 2122 — Business Restructuring Charges” for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will adopt Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings, the impact of which is not significant. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company has assessed our revenue recognition practices with respect to the agreements for which the Company currently recognizes revenues and has concluded that there is no material impact from the new revenue recognition standard.

Under Topic 606, the Company will apply the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs will be included in selling, general, and administrative expenses which are consistent with current accounting prior to the adoption of Topic 606. The Company will also elect to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money for contracts in which the anticipated period between when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays is equal to one year or less.

In March 2017, ~~The~~the FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update (ASU)~~ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date, but does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Entities are required to apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The entity is required to provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle in the period of adoption. The Company ~~is evaluating~~evaluated the impact of these amendments ~~will~~and the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

2017 Significant Business Developments

The following are the ~~material~~significant transactions that were completed or announced in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Acquisitions

Keller Medical, Inc.

On June 23, 2017, the Company acquired Keller Medical, Inc. (“Keller”), a privately held medical device company and developer of the Keller Funnel^® (the “Keller Acquisition”). The Keller Acquisition ~~combines~~combined the Keller Funnel^®, a surgical device used in conjunction with breast implants, with the Company’s leading breast implants business.

The Zeltiq Acquisition combined Zeltiq’s body contouring business with the Company’s leading portfolio of medical aesthetics.

~~Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value~~

The Zeltiq Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2017, certain amounts relating to the valuation of tax related matters and intangible assets have not been finalized. The finalization of these matters may result in changes to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and reflects purchase accounting adjustments subsequent to the acquisition date ($ in millions):

~~IPR&D and Intangible Assets~~

The estimated fair value of the intangible assets, including customer relationships, was determined using the “income approach,” which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, other allocated costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. This technique is referred to herein as the “IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique.”

The fair value of the intangible assets acquired in the Zeltiq Acquisition was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value for these acquired intangible assets ranged from 10.0% to 11.0% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. The discount rate of the Zeltiq Acquisition was driven by the life-cycle stage of the products and the therapeutic indication. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

~~Goodwill~~

Among the reasons the Company acquired Zeltiq and the factors that contributed to the preliminary recognition of goodwill was the expansion of the Company’s leading medical aesthetics portfolio. Goodwill from the Zeltiq Acquisition of $~~954.7~~ ~~million was assigned to the US Specialized Therapeutic segment and goodwill of $245.9 million was assigned to the International segment and is non-deductible for tax purposes.~~

~~Inventories~~

The fair value of inventories acquired included an acquisition accounting fair market value step-up of $22.9 million which was recognized as a component of cost of sales as the inventory acquired was sold to the Company’s customers in the year ended December 31, 2017.

~~Deferred Tax Liabilities~~

~~LifeCell Corporation~~

On February 1, 2017, the Company acquired LifeCell Corporation (“LifeCell”), a regenerative medicine company, for an acquisition accounting price of $2,883.1 million (the “LifeCell Acquisition”). The LifeCell Acquisition combines LifeCell's novel, regenerative medicines business, including its high-quality and durable portfolio of dermal matrix products with Allergan's leading portfolio of medical aesthetic products, breast implants and tissue expanders. The LifeCell Acquisition expanded the Company’s medical aesthetics portfolio by adding Alloderm^® ~~and Strattice~~^®.

~~Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value~~

The LifeCell Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value for these acquired intangible assets was 7.5% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections in the LifeCell Acquisition. The discount rate of the LifeCell Acquisition was driven by the life-cycle stage of the products, the advanced nature of IPR&D projects, and IPR&D assets acquired and the therapeutic indication. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change.

IPR&D and Intangible Assets

The fair value of the intangible assets acquired in the Zeltiq Acquisition was determined using the IPR&D and Intangible Asset Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value for these acquired intangible assets ranged from 10.0% to 11.0% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. The discount rate of the Zeltiq Acquisition was driven by the life-cycle stage of the products and the therapeutic indication. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

~~Goodwill~~

Among the primary reasons the Company acquired Allergan and factors that contributed to the preliminary recognition of goodwill were to expand the Company’s product portfolio, and to acquire certain benefits from the Legacy Allergan pipeline and the expectation of certain synergies. The goodwill recognized from the Allergan Acquisition, which includes the increase in the purchase price resulting from the movement in Allergan plc’s share price from the date of announcing the deal, until the date of acquisition, is not deductible for tax purposes.

~~Contingent Consideration~~

The Company acquired certain contingent obligations classified as contingent consideration related to historical business combinations. Additional consideration is conditionally due upon the achievement of certain milestones in respect to the development and commercialization of the products as well as reaching certain sales targets. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration acquired to be $383.7 million using a probability weighted approach that considered the possible outcomes based on assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch date, discount rates matched to the timing of first payment, and probability of success rates and discount adjustments on the related cash flows.

~~Retirement Plans~~

~~The Company acquired post-retirement plans as part of the Allergan Acquisition including defined benefit pension plans in the United States and Europe which had a~~upfront net liability balance of $302.6 million. As of March 17, 2015, the Allergan Inc. defined benefit pension plans had assets with a fair value of $1,042.0 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million, equity securities of $480.1 million, and fixed income securities of $548.3 million. The Company assumed other post-retirement benefit obligations with defined benefits of $60.2 million. In addition, the Company acquired other benefit obligations which had an acquisition date fair value of assets of $117.1 million and an acquisition date fair value of liabilities of $120.0 million. Prior to the Allergan Acquisition, Legacy Allergan froze most of their defined benefit plans. As a result, the company anticipates deminimis service costs in its statement of operations.

~~Deferred Tax Liabilities, Net~~

Deferred tax liabilities, net, result from identifiable intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book basis over the tax basis which is tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.

~~Acquisition-Related Expenses~~

As a result of the acquisition, the Company incurred the following transaction and integration costs for the year of acquisition (year ended December 31, 2015) and the comparable first full year (year ended December 31, 2016) ($ in millions):

NOTE 89 — Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. A summary of the Company’s share-based compensation plans is presented below.

~~Equity Award Plans~~

~~The Company grants awards with the following features:~~

~~Time-based vesting restricted stock and restricted stock units awards;~~

Performance-based restricted stock unit awards measured to performance-based targets defined by the Company, including, but not limited to, total shareholder return metrics, R&D milestones and EBITDA, as defined by the Company;

~~Non-qualified options to purchase outstanding shares; and~~

~~Cash-settled awards recorded as a liability. These cash settled awards are based on pre-established total shareholder returns metrics.~~

Option award plans require options to be granted at the fair market value of the shares underlying the options at the date of the grant and generally become exercisable over periods ranging from three to five years. Each option granted expires ten years from the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to ordinary shares, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock unit awards are grants that entitle the holder the right to receive an ordinary share, subject to certain terms. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (both time-based vesting and performance-based vesting) generally have restrictions that lapse over a one to four year vesting period. Restrictions generally lapse for non-employee directors after one year. Certain restricted stock units are performance-based awards issued at a target number with the actual number of ordinary shares issued ranging based on achievement of the performance criteria. All restricted stock and restricted stock units which remain active under the Company’s equity award plans are eligible to receive cash dividend equivalent payments upon vesting.

Fair Value Assumptions

All restricted stock and restricted stock units (whether time-based ~~vesting~~ or ~~performance-based vesting),~~performance-based) are granted and expensed using the fair value per share on the applicable grant date, over the applicable vesting period. Non-qualified options to purchase ordinary shares are granted to employees at exercise prices per share equal to the closing market price per share on the date of grant. The fair value of non-qualified options is determined on the applicable grant dates using the Black-Scholes method of valuation and that amount is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the fair value of options is based on the following assumptions:

	2017 Grants			2016 Grants			2015 Grants			2015 Acquired Awards			2018 Grants			2017 Grants			2016 Grants

NOTE 910 — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plan Obligations

The Company has numerous defined benefit plans offered to employees around the world. For these plans, retirement benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.

The underfunding of pension benefits is primarily a function of the different funding incentives that exist outside of the United States. In certain countries, there are no legal requirements or financial incentives provided to companies to pre-fund pension obligations. In these instances, benefit payments are typically paid directly by the Company as they become due.

Plan Assets

Companies are required to use a fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC ~~Topic~~ 820 ~~“Fair Value Measurement,” (“ASC 820”)~~ which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value (“Fair Value Leveling”). There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, 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. The Level 3 assets are those whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques with significant unobservable inputs, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2018 by asset category are as follows ($ in millions):

Actuarial Assumptions

The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligations of the Company’s defined benefit plans, including assets and liabilities held for sale, are as follows:

	As of December 31,						As of December 31,
	2017			2016			2018			2017
Discount rate		2.9	%		3.3	%		3.3	%		2.9	%
Salary growth rate		3.0	%		3.0	%		3.0	%		3.0	%

The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit plans ~~including assets and liabilities held for sale,~~ are as follows:

	As of December 31,						As of December 31,
	2017			2016			2018			2017
Discount rate		3.3	%		3.8	%		2.9	%		3.3	%
Expected rate of return on plan assets		5.0	%		5.1	%		5.2	%		5.0	%
Salary growth rate		3.0	%		3.0	%		3.0	%		3.0	%

In order to select a discount rate for purposes of valuing the plan obligations the Company uses market returns and adjusts them as needed to fit the estimated duration of the plan liabilities.

The expected rate of return represents the average rate of return to be earned on plan assets over the period the benefits included in the benefit obligation are to be paid. In developing the expected rate of return, long-term historical returns data are considered as well as actual returns on the plan assets and other capital markets experience. Using this reference information, the long-term return expectations for each asset category and a weighted average expected return was developed, according to the allocation among those investment categories.

~~During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company transferred the Investment in Teva ordinary shares from Level 2 to Level 1 as the lock-up period on these shares expired.~~

Marketable securities and investments consist of available-for-sale investments in money market securities, U.S. treasury and agency securities, and equity and debt securities of publicly traded companies for which market prices are readily available. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities and investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) / income as of December 31, 2017. Realized gains or losses on marketable securities and investments are recorded in interest income. The Company’s marketable securities and other long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices using the specific identification method. These investments are classified as either current or non-current, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and maturity management.

Excluding the Company’s investment in Teva securities, the Company generally considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities investment portfolio to be temporary in nature. The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company’s policy requires investments to be investment grade with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

Annual Testing

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2018 by evaluating its five Reporting Units. In performing this test, the Company utilized long-term growth rates for its Reporting Units ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% in its estimation of fair value and discount rates ranging from 8.5% to 10.0%, which increased versus the prior year annual testing discount rates of 7.5% to 8.5% to reflect changes in market conditions. The assumptions used in evaluating goodwill for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical performance by management.

Of the Reporting Units tested in the second quarter, the Company’s US Eye Care Reporting Unit, which is a component of its US Specialized Therapeutics Segment and has an allocated goodwill balance of $9,824.8 million, and its General Medicine Reporting Unit, were the most sensitive to a change in future valuation assumptions. These Reporting Units had the lowest level of headroom between the carrying value of the Reporting Unit and the fair value of the Reporting Unit. While management believes the assumptions used were reasonable and commensurate with the views of a market participant, changes in key assumptions for these Reporting Units, including increasing the discount rate, lowering revenue forecasts, lowering the operating margin or lowering the long-term growth rate, could result in a future impairment.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Testing

In the three months ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent to the Company’s annual impairment test, the Company identified several impairment indicators which led to the fourth quarter assessment of its General Medicine Reporting Unit for impairment. The Company noted the following:

At December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the Anti-Infectives business met the held for sale criteria. Based on this determination, the Company compared the anticipated sales price of the business with internal estimates of discounted future cash flows, noting a decline in the fair value of the group of assets.

Other commercial factors which included a decline in projected cash flows of its Women’s Health business, in part, due to the failure to receive FDA approval for a late stage product candidate.

An increase in the cost of the capital since the Company’s second quarter annual impairment test. The Company’s weighted average cost of capital for the General Medicine Reporting Unit increased to 9.5% due to increased interest rates and other market dynamics.

As a result of the evaluation, the Company tested General Medicine’s goodwill for impairment and recorded a $2,841.1 million goodwill impairment charge to its General Medicine Reporting Unit.

No impairment indicators were noted for the Company’s other Reporting Units subsequent to the annual impairment test. The fair value of its General Medicine, US Eye Care and the Company’s other Reporting Units are, in part, comprised of anticipated product launches in the next three years. Negative events regarding these pipeline assets including, but not limited to, Abicipar, Atogepant, Bimataprost SR, Cariprazine, Rapastinel, and Ubrogepant, as well as other next generation aesthetic products could lead to further goodwill impairment charges. Allergan’s General Medicine Reporting Unit’s asset value equals fair value as of December 31, 2018, while its US Eye Care Reporting Unit has headroom of less than 10%.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, the gross balance of goodwill, ~~pre-impairments,~~prior to the consideration of impairments, was $48,771.7 million and $49,880.2 million, ~~and $46,373.4 million,~~ respectively.

~~The following items had a significant impact on goodwill in the year ended December 31, 2017:~~

~~An increase in goodwill of $1,449.1 million, including measurement period adjustments, resulting from the LifeCell Acquisition; and~~

~~An increase in goodwill of $1,200.6 million, including measurement period adjustments, resulting from the Zeltiq Acquisition.~~

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company impaired the intangible assets associated with Kybella by $1,643.8 million in “Asset sales and impairments, net” as a result of a decrease in the future sales forecasts based on current performance, in part due to risks relating to supply of the product and the corresponding impact on demand;

•

~~The Company reclassified certain intangible assets from IPR&D to CMP primarily related to Restasis~~^®~~, Belkyra~~^® ~~(Kybella~~^®~~), XEN45, Optive~~^®~~,Taytulla~~^™~~, Aczone~~^®~~, Juvederm~~^®~~, Dalvance~~^® ~~and Botox~~^®.

Assuming no additions, disposals or adjustments are made to the carrying values and/or useful lives of the intangible assets, ~~continuing operations related to~~ annual amortization expense on product rights and other related intangibles as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 over each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows ($ in millions):

	Amortization Expense		Amortization Expense
2018	$	6,438.3
2019	$	6,039.4	$	5,585.0
2020	$	5,717.4	$	5,356.4
2021	$	4,778.2	$	4,429.3
2022	$	4,414.8	$	4,079.9
2023			$	3,668.6

The above amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts may change from such estimated amounts due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, additional intangible asset acquisitions, finalization of preliminary fair value estimates, potential impairments, accelerated amortization or other events. Additional amortization may occur as products are approved. In addition, the Company has certain currently marketed products for which operating contribution performance has been below that which was originally assumed in the products’ initial valuations, and certain IPR&D projects which are subject to delays in timing or other events which may negatively impact the asset’s value. The Company, on a quarterly basis, monitors the related intangible assets for these products for potential impairments. It is reasonably possible that impairments may occur in future periods, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 1819 — Income Taxes

~~The TCJA makes~~On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), was enacted into law, which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code and impacted the U.S. taxation of our domestic and international operations. ~~Our 2017 consolidated financial statements reflect a provisional estimate of the impacts~~ The estimated income tax effects

of the TCJA ~~as changes in tax law should be accounted for in the period of enactment. The TCJA enacted many significant changes including, but not limited to:~~

~~A mandatory deemed repatriation tax~~ on the ~~accumulated, untaxed post-1986 earnings and profits of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries (“toll charge”), payable over eight years;~~

~~A decrease in the U.S. Federal Corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in years after December 31, 2017;~~

~~An additional U.S. tax~~Company’s financial statements were initially recorded on ~~the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries which are considered Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”)~~a provisional basis at ~~a tax rate of 10.5% for tax years beginning after~~ December 31, 2017, ~~(increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset for foreign tax credits;~~

~~A limitation on the deduction of interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income (EBITDA equivalent) for our U.S. subsidiaries for years beginning after December 31, 2017; and~~

The introduction of a 5% (10% post 2018) minimum tax referred to as the “Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax” which requires our U.S. subsidiaries to determine taxable income without regard to tax deductions for payments to affiliates beginning in years after December 31, 2017.

~~As part of the enactment of the TCJA, the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 a provisional deferred tax benefit of $2,340.4 million related~~pursuant to the ~~change~~guidance in Federal Corporate tax rates applicable to our deferred tax liabilities, and $1,260.0 million related to the net reversal of prior amounts accrued for taxes on unremitted earnings of certain subsidiaries.Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118. The Company also recorded a provisional income tax expense of $728.1 million related to the tax on the deemed repatriation of the deferred foreign earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries (toll charge). The toll charge is payable over eight years and therefore we recorded $58.2 million in current and $669.8 million in non-current tax liabilities.

The provisional estimates recorded in the 2017 consolidated financial statements are based on all available information and the Company’s initial analysis and current interpretation of the legislation under the TCJA as of the time of the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K. These estimates represent amounts for which our accounting is incomplete, but a reasonable estimate could be determined. Given the complexity of the TCJA, the proximity of the enactment date to the Company’s year end, anticipated guidance from the U.S. Treasury, and the potential for additional guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the amounts recorded in the December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements related to the TCJA are provisional in nature and may be adjusted during 2018. Recent Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance providesprovided for a measurement period for up to one year from the enactment date of the TCJA for which adjustments to provisional amounts may be recorded as a component of tax expense or ~~benefit in~~benefit. As of the end of the measurement period, December 22, 2018, the ~~adjustment is determined.~~

~~The~~ Company ~~recorded a provisional~~has completed its accounting for the tax ~~expense for its toll charge~~effects of the TCJA based on ~~a reasonable estimate~~several factors including relevant legislative updates issued since the date of enactment, the tax due on the mandatory deemed repatriation of untaxed post-1986 Earnings and Profits (“E&P”) of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Calculating this liability involved the consideration of multiple impacting factors. Those factors include estimating the December 31, 2017 ending E&P balances of certainfiling of the Company’s ~~non-U.S. subsidiaries, determining which portion of that E&P was held in cash~~2017 U.S. federal income tax return and non-cash equivalents or other assets at different prescribed measurement dates, reviewing and confirming non- U.S. taxes that would have been previously paid on those earnings, estimating other U.S. income inclusions to be considered in the E&P balances and assessing the potential impact of currently recorded uncertain tax positions. The estimated nature of these factors and their potentially significant impact on the toll charge led to the liability being recorded as a provisional amount. The final toll charge liability amount cannot be determined until the 2018 financial results of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries are finalized, the review of historical E&P and related tax data is complete and all current and future guidance from the IRS, U.S. Treasury, SEC or FASB is issued and evaluated.

The Company recorded a provisional deferred tax benefit related to the net reversal of prior amounts accrued for taxes on unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company had a previously recorded deferred tax liability balance for non-U.S. earnings that were not permanently reinvested. As a result of the TCJA and specifically the accrual of mandatory tax on the deemed repatriation of the same non-U.S. earnings (toll charge), the previously recorded deferred tax liability was no longer necessary and was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Additionally, a deferred tax liability was recorded for the estimated taxes that would become due on the repatriation of those earnings. The calculation of this deferred tax liability is dependent on the finalization of the Company’s financial results as of December 31, ~~2017 ending E&P balances of certain subsidiaries.~~

~~The~~2018. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a ~~provisional deferred~~net $14.3 million income tax benefit ~~related~~as an adjustment to the ~~change in Federal Corporate income tax rate applicable~~provisional amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company has elected to ~~our deferred tax liabilities.~~ We remeasured the net deferred tax liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the TCJA and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The Company also recognizes ~~that some of these balances are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions and could be adjusted as a result of refining our estimates upon the filing of the 2017 U.S. Federal income tax return.~~

~~Due to the complexity of the new~~treat GILTI tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA and the application of ASC 740 and are considering if deferred tax amounts should be recorded for this provision. Our accounting policies depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect material tax liabilities resulting from the application of this provision, and, if so, whether and when to record related current and deferred income taxes and whether such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Anticipated further guidance from the IRS will also clarify the manner in which the GILTI tax is computed. For these reasons, we have not recorded a deferred tax expense or benefit relating to potential GILTI tax in our 2017 consolidated financial statements and have not made a policy election regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI or account for the GILTI entirely as a period ~~cost.~~cost when incurred.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 ~~2016~~ and ~~2015, foreign~~2016, losses before income taxes ~~were $9,247.4 million, $1,502.8 million and $4,291.7 million, respectively.~~consisted of the following ($ in millions):

The rate reconciliation for Bermuda is largely consistent with the Irish effective tax rate reconciliations presented above.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. The significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following (in millions):

~~During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of approximately $799.4 million and $604.9 million related to acquired entities.~~

During the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company’s net deferred tax liability decreased by ~~$6,702.5~~$1,595.2 million. This was predominately the result of ~~intangible~~ amortization and impairments ~~and~~related to our intangible assets partially offset by the ~~provisional impact~~realization of outside basis differences in investments. The valuation allowance increased because the ~~TCJA.~~Company no longer considers the likelihood of utilizing certain net operating losses to be remote. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset mostly offset by a valuation allowance was recorded at the applicable tax rate in the period ended December 31, 2018. The table above includes immaterial reclassifications to conform with current year disclosures.

The Company had the following carryforward tax attributes at December 31, ~~2017:~~2018:

$~~824.4~~914.5 million of U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOL”) and other tax attributes which begin to expire in 2019;

$~~368.3~~294.4 million of U.S. tax credits which begin to expire in ~~2018;~~2019;

$~~3,205.0~~480.0 million of U.S. state NOLs which begin to expire in ~~2018;~~2019;

$~~27.4~~4,797.6 million of non-U.S. NOLs which begin to expire in ~~2018~~2019 and ~~$1,910.4~~$4,826.6 million of non-U.S. NOLs which are not subject to expiration.

~~Net~~U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of ~~$824.4~~$317.2 million and ~~$253.4~~$213.0 million, respectively, are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The U.S. state NOLs increased by $2,146.0 million due to the expected utilization of previously unrecognized state loss carryforwards as a result of the TCJA. This was fully offset by a corresponding increase in the deferred tax liabilities for unremitted earnings.

During the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company ~~established~~recorded a net increase to the valuation allowance of ~~$230.1~~$1,234.1 million primarily related to ~~U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and capital losses.~~non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, a valuation allowance balance of ~~$403.8~~$1,637.9 million is recorded due to the uncertainty of realizing tax credits ($~~223.3~~6.1 million), net operating losses ($~~118.7~~1,596.3 million), capital loss carryforwards ($~~58.2~~35.2 million) and other deferred tax assets ($~~3.6~~0.3 million).

At December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, Allergan plc (the Irish parent) is permanently reinvested in ~~$9,358.1 million~~approximately $11.0 billion of earnings of its non-Irish subsidiaries and therefore has not provided deferred income taxes on these undistributed earnings. ~~These~~The amounts are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in non-Irish operations and would not be subject to significant taxes if amounts were distributed to Allergan plc.

The Company has previously recorded deferred tax liabilities for specific pre-acquisition earnings of certain subsidiaries owned by entities incorporated in the U.S. As a result of the TCJA, these previously recorded deferred tax liabilities were no longer necessary and were reversed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Provisionally, the Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities of $345.5 million related to earnings of subsidiaries owned by entities incorporated in the U.S. This deferred tax liability represents the provisional estimated tax cost of a full repatriation of these earnings. The U.S. subsidiaries of Allergan plc are ~~no longer~~not permanently reinvested in the earnings of their non-U.S. subsidiaries as the provisions ~~of the TCJA~~under current U.S. tax law will allow these earnings to be remitted to the U.S. without any significant ~~incremental~~ tax cost. The ~~calculation of the~~Company recorded a $53.6 million deferred tax liability ~~is dependent on~~for the ~~finalization~~estimated cost to repatriate the accumulated earnings of ~~the E&P balances~~these non-U.S. subsidiaries to their U.S. shareholders as of ~~certain subsidiaries.~~December 31, 2018.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

If these benefits were subsequently recognized, ~~$754.0~~$998.0 million would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company's continuing policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 ~~2016~~ and ~~2015,~~2016, the company recognized approximately $42.3 million, $45.8 million ~~$2.0 million~~ and ~~$(0.5)~~$2.0 million in interest and penalties, respectively. At December 31, 2018, 2017 ~~2016~~ and ~~2015,~~2016, the Company had accrued $155.2 million (net of tax benefit of $35.0 million), $113.7 million (net of tax benefit of $25.9 million), and $65.3 million (net of tax benefit of $35.4 ~~million) and $63.3 million (net of tax benefit of $34.2~~ million) of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, respectively. Although the company cannot determine the impact with

certainty based on specific factors, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may change by up to approximately ~~$150.0~~$90.0 million within the next twelve months due to the resolution of certain tax examinations.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, it files U.S. federal, state and foreign tax returns. The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for amounts it believes are in accordance with the accounting standard, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is ~~more or less~~different than that reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may ~~later~~ decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations with tax authorities, identification of new issues and issuance of new legislation, regulations or case law.

The Company has several concurrent audits open and pending with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as set forth below:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

For most of the Company’s international operations, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Equity is translated at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders’ equity and are included as a component of other comprehensive income / (loss). The effects of converting non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded as transaction gains / (losses) in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Unrealized gain / (losses) net of tax primarily represent experience differentials and other actuarial charges related to the Company’s defined benefit ~~plans as well as the mark-to-market impact of our holdings in Teva securities.~~plans.

NOTE 2021 — Segments

The operating segments are organized as follows:

The US Specialized Therapeutics segment includes sales and expenses relating to branded products within the U.S., including Medical Aesthetics, Medical Dermatology through September 20, 2018, Eye Care and Neuroscience and Urology therapeutic products.

The US General Medicine segment includes sales and expenses relating to branded products within the U.S. that do not fall into the US Specialized Therapeutics business units, including Central Nervous System, Gastrointestinal, Women’s Health, Anti-Infectives and Diversified Brands.

The International segment includes sales and expenses relating to products sold outside the U.S.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment contribution. Segment contribution for our segments represents net revenues less cost of sales (defined below), selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative expenses. Included in segment revenues for ~~2015 and~~ 2016 are product sales that were sold through ~~the~~our former Anda Distribution business once the Anda Distribution business had sold the product to a third-party customer. These sales are included in segment results and are reclassified into revenues from discontinued operations through a reduction of Corporate revenues which eliminates the sales made by ~~the~~our former Anda Distribution business through October 3, 2016 from results of continuing operations. Cost of sales for these products in discontinued operations is equal to our average ~~third party~~third-party cost of sales for third party branded products distributed by our former Anda ~~Distribution.~~Distribution business. The Company does not evaluate the following items at the segment level:

Revenues and operating expenses within cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses that result from the impact of corporate initiatives. Corporate initiatives primarily include integration, restructuring, ~~acquisition~~divestitures, acquisitions, certain milestones and other shared costs.

General and administrative expenses that result from shared infrastructure, including certain expenses located within the United States.

~~Total assets including capital expenditures.~~

Other select revenues and operating expenses including R&D expenses, amortization, ~~In-process Reseach and Development (“~~IPR~~&D”)~~&D impairments, goodwill impairments and asset sales and impairments, net as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, or such information has not been used by all segments.

Total assets including capital expenditures.

The Company defines segment net revenues as product sales and other revenue derived from ~~branded~~our products or licensing agreements.

Selling and marketing expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, product promotion costs, distribution costs, professional service costs, insurance, depreciation and travel costs.

Segment net revenues, segment operating expenses and segment contribution information consisted of the following for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 ~~2016~~ and ~~2015~~2016 ($ in millions):

NOTE 2223 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company’s revenue, earnings, cash flows and fair value of its assets and liabilities can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange risks and interest rates, as applicable. The Company manages the impact of foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements through operational means and through the use of various financial instruments, including derivative instruments such as foreign currency derivatives. As of December 31, ~~2017 and~~2018, the Company had outstanding third-party foreign currency forward instruments, excluding debt, of $42.1 million. As of December 31, ~~2016, there were~~2017, the Company had no material outstanding third-party foreign currency instruments.

~~Overall,~~Internationally, the Company is a net recipient of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, benefits from a weaker dollar and is adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may negatively affect the Company’s consolidated revenues and favorably impact operating expenses in U.S. dollars.

Net Investment Hedge

In the normal course of business, we manage certain foreign exchange risks through a variety of strategies, including hedging. Our hedging strategies include the use of derivatives, ~~including~~as well as net investment hedges.

For net investment hedges, the effective portion of the gains and losses on the instruments arising from the effects of foreign exchange are recorded in the currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss), consistent with the underlying hedged item. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. As a result, any change in the value of our hedging instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international operations from foreign currency purchases, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business, including the Euro Denominated Notes. In the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, we used effective net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The total notional amount of our instruments designated as net investment hedges was $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2018 and $3.6 billion as of December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the impact of the net investment hedges recorded in other comprehensive loss was a gain of $144.5 million, which primarily offset the impact of the Euro denominated notes. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the impact of the net investment hedges onrecorded in other comprehensive income was a loss of $208.2 million.

~~Forward Sale of Teva Shares~~

On November 10, 2017, the Company entered into forward sale transactions for the purpose of selling approximately 25.0 million Teva shares into the market over time, which settled on January 12, 2018 for $413.3 million.

Contingent Consideration Obligations

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity, and is based on our own assumptions. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations, including accretion, are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as follows ($ in millions):

	Years Ended December 31,									Years Ended December 31,
Expense / (income)	2017			2016			2015			2018			2017			2016
Cost of sales	$	(183.2	)	$	(17.4	)	$	58.5		$	(111.7	)	$	(183.2	)	$	(17.4	)

Total	$	(133.2	)	$	(64.2	)	$	95.7		$	(106.6	)	$	(133.2	)	$	(64.2	)

During the year ended December 31, 2018, cost of sales primarily relates to the Company’s True Tear^® product not achieving a milestone event, as well as a corresponding decrease in commercial forecasts. In the year ended December 31, 2018, research and development primarily relates to a R&D asset that was delayed, which lowered the probability of the milestone being achieved. The year ended December 31, 2018 also includes the progression of other R&D projects relating to the acquisition of Tobira Therapeutics, Inc.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had net contingent consideration income in cost of sales of $183.2 million due to declines in forecasted revenues for select ~~products.~~products, including Rhofade^®. The Company had net contingent consideration expense in R&D of $50.0 million due to the advancement of the Company’s ~~pipeline.~~True Tear^® product and products acquired as part of the Tobira Acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had net contingent consideration income of $64.2 million primarily driven by ongoing R&D projects that were terminated based on clinical data acquired in the Allergan Acquisition, which was offset by additional contingent consideration expense relating to milestones achieved in connection with the AqueSys and Allergan ~~Acquisitions.~~acquisitions.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $29.8 million in connection with the approval of Viberzi™, $81.4 million in connection with the approval of Liletta^® ~~and $6.4 million in connection with the approval of Dalvance~~^®~~. Offsetting these amounts were gains from fair value of adjustments related to the Forest Acquisition of $32.3 million and the Allergan Acquisition of $8.2 million.~~

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 ($ in millions):

The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations including contingent payments such as milestone obligations, royalty obligations and contract earn-out criteria, where applicable. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The resultant probability-weighted cash flows are discounted using an appropriate effective annual interest rate to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty, major risks and uncertainties associated with the successful completion of the events triggering the contingent obligation. At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with

respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. Accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the contingent liability is included in operating income for the period.

NOTE 2425 — Commitments & Contingencies

The Company and its affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquires, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company’s general practice is to expense legal fees as services are rendered in connection with legal matters, and to accrue for liabilities when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that is accrued. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes accrued loss contingencies of approximately $65.0 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet ~~includes~~included accrued loss contingencies of approximately $55.0 million.

The Company’s legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to mass tort actions and class actions with thousands of putative class members. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims (including, but not limited to, qui tam actions, antitrust, product liability, breach of contract, securities, patent infringement and trade practices), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. In addition, a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process (which in complex proceedings of the sort faced by us often extend for several years). As a result, some matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss. In those proceedings in which plaintiffs do request publicly quantified amounts of relief, the Company does not believe that the quantified amounts are meaningful because they are merely stated jurisdictional limits, exaggerated and/or unsupported by the evidence or applicable burdens of proof.

In matters involving the assertion or defense of the Company’s intellectual property, the Company believes it has meritorious claims and intends to vigorously assert or defend the patents or other intellectual property at issue in such litigation. Similarly, in matters where the Company is a defendant, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. However, the Company can offer no assurances that it will be successful in a litigation or, in the case of patent enforcement matters, that a generic version of the product at issue will not be launched or enjoined. Failing to prevail in a litigation could adversely affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

These lawsuits triggered automatic stays of approval of Teva’s 72 mcg ANDA and Mylan’s 72 mcg ANDA that expire no earlier than June 2020 and August 2020, respectively (unless there is a final court decision adverse to Plaintiffs sooner). On March 14, 2018, the district court consolidated the Teva 72 mcg ANDA matter with the lawsuit filed in November 2016.

In May and August 2018, the district court granted joint stipulations and orders to dismiss without prejudice all claims, counterclaims, and defenses in the consolidated actions with respect to the ‘371 Patent and the ‘030 Patent, respectively, as between Plaintiffs, Teva and Sandoz. On July 10, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss all claims and declaratory judgment counterclaims between Plaintiffs and Mylan with respect to the ‘371 patent for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On July 26, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint as to Mylan to assert the ‘628 patent against Mylan’s 72 mcg ANDA product. On August 30, 2018, the district court entered an order granting the joint stipulation and order to dismiss without prejudice all claims, counterclaims, and defenses in the consolidated actions with respect to the ‘030 Patent and the ‘371 Patent as between Plaintiffs and Mylan, granting Plaintiffs’ motion seeking leave to file an amended complaint, and withdrawing as moot Plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss with respect to the ‘371 patent. Plaintiffs filed a corrected amended complaint as to Mylan on September 4, 2018, and Mylan filed an answer to the amended complaint on September 13, 2018.

On June 12, 2018, the district court granted the parties’ request that briefing on Mylan’s motion to dismiss for improper venue be stayed until after a decision issued on Mylan’s renewed motion to dismiss for improper venue in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., C.A. Nos. 17-374 (LPS), 17-379 (LPS) (“BMS”). On October 18, 2018, the district court in BMS granted Mylan’s motion to dismiss for improper venue in that case.

On December 21, 2018, subsidiaries of the Company and Ironwood entered into a settlement agreement with Mylan. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Plaintiffs will provide a license to Mylan to market a generic version of LINZESS in the United States beginning on February 5, 2030 (subject to FDA approval), or earlier in certain circumstances. The Mylan actions were dismissed on December 27, 2018.

Namenda XR^®. In 2014, subsidiaries of the Company brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,061,703 (the “‘703 patent”), 8,039,009 (the “‘009 patent”), 8,168,209 (the “‘209 patent”), 8,173,708 (the “‘708 patent”), 8,283,379 (the “‘379 patent”), 8,329,752 (the “‘752 patent”), 8,362,085 (the “‘085 patent”), and 8,598,233 (the “‘233 patent”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Wockhardt, Teva, Sun, Apotex, Anchen, Zydus, Watson, Par, Mylan, Amneal, Ranbaxy, and Amerigen, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof. Plaintiffs entered settlement agreements with every defendant except Teva.

On December 11, 2017, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision affirming the district court’s judgment of invalidity with respect to certain claims of the ‘209, ‘708, ‘379, ‘752 and ‘085 patents.

The Federal Circuit issued the mandate of the court on February 20, 2018, and certain generics launched the generic products shortly thereafter.

Namzaric^®. In 2015 subsidiaries of the Company and Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (all collectively, “Plaintiffs”), brought an action for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,039,009 (the “’009 patent”), 8,058,291 (the “‘291 patent”), 8,168,209 (the “‘209 patent”), 8,173,708 (the “‘708 patent”) 8,283,379 (the “‘379 patent”), 8,293,794 (the “‘794 patent”), 8,329,752 (the “‘752 patent”), 8,338,485 (the “‘485 patent”), 8,338,486 (the “‘486 patent”), 8,362,085 (the “‘085 patent”), 8,580,858 (the “‘858 patent”) and 8,598,233 (the “‘233 patent”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, Par Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Amerigen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Amerigen Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (collectively, “Amerigen”). Plaintiffs entered into settlement agreements with each of the generics. Plaintiffs’ settlement agreement with Amneal, who is believed to be a first applicant with respect to certain dosage strengths (memantine hydrochloride extended-release and donepezil hydrochloride, 14 mg/10 mg and 28 mg/10 mg) of Namzaric^®., provides a license to Amneal that will permit it to launch its generic version of Namzaric^® as of January 1, 2025, or earlier in certain circumstances. Alternatively, under certain circumstances, Amneal has an

option to launch an authorized generic version of Namzaric beginning on January 1, 2026. No patent litigation remains concerning Namzaric.

Restasis^®. Between August 2015 and July 2016, a subsidiary of the Company brought actions for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,629,111 (the “‘111 patent”), 8,633,162 (the “‘162 patent”), 8,642,556 (the “‘556 patent”), 8,648,048 (the “‘048 patent”), 8,685,930 (the “‘930 patent”) and 9,248,191 (the “’191 patent”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Akorn, Inc., Apotex, Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., InnoPharma, Inc., Famy Care Limited (“Famy Care”), TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“TWi”) and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof.

The subsidiary entered into settlement agreements with Apotex, TWi, Famy Care and InnoPharma. As a result of certain of these settlements, Allergan will provide a license to certain parties to launch their generic versions of Restasis^® beginning on February 27, 2024, or earlier in certain circumstances. Additionally, under certain circumstances, the Company will supply and authorize certain parties to launch an authorized generic version of Restasis^® on August 28, 2024 or earlier in certain circumstances.

On September 8, 2017, the Company assigned all Orange Book-listed patents for Restasis^®to the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (“the Tribe”), a recognized sovereign tribal government, and concurrently was granted an exclusive field-of-use license to practice the patents in the United States for all FDA-approved uses of the products under the Restasis^® NDAs.

On October 16, 2017, the District Court issued a decision and final judgment finding that the asserted claims of the ‘111 patent, the ‘048 patent, the ‘930 patent and the ‘191 patent were infringed, but invalid on the ground of obviousness. The District Court also held that the asserted claims were not invalid as anticipated, for lack of enablement, or for improper inventorship. On November 13, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision affirming the district court’s finding of invalidity of the asserted claims of the ‘111, ‘048, ‘930 and ‘191 Patents. A petition for rehearing is currently pending.

On December 22, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company Allergan filed a complaint for infringement of the ʼ111 patent, ʼ162 patent, ʼ556 patent, ʼ048 patent, ʼ930 patent, and the ʼ191 patent in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Deva Holding A.S. (“Deva”). On March 6, 2018, the district court granted in part and denied in part the parties’ joint motion for entry of a stipulated order, and stayed the case until such time as the Federal Circuit in the lead appeal case with Teva, Mylan and Akron issues a mandate. The parties’ stipulation provides that Deva will be bound by the outcome of that appeal.

On August 10 and September 20, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company and the Tribe filed complaints for infringement of the ʼ162 patent and the ʼ556 patent in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Saptalis and against Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Amneal Pharmaceuticals Co. India Private Limited (collectively, “Amneal”), respectively. The cases were voluntarily dismissed on January 2, 2019.

Restasis^® IPR. On June 6, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company received notification letters that Inter Partes Review of the USPTO (“IPR”) petitions were filed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) regarding U.S. Patent Nos. 8,629,111 (the “‘111 patent”), 8,633,162 (the “‘162 patent”), 8,642,556 (the “‘556 patent”), 8,648,048 (the “‘048 patent”), 8,685,930 (the “‘930 patent”), and 9,248,191 (the “‘191 patent”), which patents expire on August 27, 2024. Mylan filed the IPR petition on June 3, 2016. On June 23, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company received a notification letter that a IPR petition and motion for joinder was filed by Argentum Pharmaceuticals LLC (“Argentum”) regarding the ’111 patent. On December 7, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Argentum and Argentum’s petition was withdrawn. On December 8, 2016, the USPTO granted Mylan’s petitions to institute IPRs with respect to these patents. On January 6, 2017, each of Akorn and Teva filed, and on January 9, 2017 the USPTO received, IPR petitions with respect to these patents and motions for joinder with the Mylan IPR. The USPTO granted Teva’s and Akorn’s joinder motions on March 31, 2017.

On September 8, 2017, Allergan assigned all Orange Book-listed patents for Restasis^®to the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (“the Tribe”), a recognized sovereign tribal government, and concurrently was granted an exclusive field-of-use license to practice the patents in the United States for all FDA-approved uses of the products under the Restasis^® NDAs. That same day, the Tribe filed an updated Mandatory Notice with the USPTO to reflect that the Tribe is the patent owner, and sought permission to file a motion to dismiss based on tribal sovereign immunity.

On February 23, 2018, the USPTO issued orders denying the Tribe’s motion to dismiss (or terminate).

On July 20, 2018, the Federal Circuit affirmed the USPTO’s denial of the Tribe’s motion to dismiss and Allergan’s motion to withdraw. On August 20, 2018, the Tribe and Allergan filed a petition for rehearing en banc, which the Federal Circuit denied on October 22, 2018. On December 21, 2018, the Company and the Tribe filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. That petition is currently pending.

Between September 2014 and May 2015, subsidiaries of the Company brought actions for infringement of some or all of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,763,476 (the “‘476 patent”), 7,741,358 (the “‘358 patent”) and 8,022,228 (the “‘228 patent”) against Sigmapharm Laboratories, LLC, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc., Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. and Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, and related subsidiaries and affiliates thereof in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in connection with an abbreviated new drug applications respectively filed with FDA by Sigmpha Hikma, Breckenridge, Alembic and Amneal, each seeking approval to market a generic versions of Saphris and challenging each of said patents. Including a 6-month pediatric extension of regulatory exclusivity, the ‘476 patent expires in December 2020, and the ‘358 and ‘228 patents expire in October 2026. In 2016, the parties agreed to dismiss all claims related to the ‘358 and ‘228 patents, leaving only the ‘476 patent at issue. On October 13, 2016, the court stayed trial as to Sigmapharm and extended the 30-month stay as to Sigmapharm. On June 30, 2017, the district court issued an opinion and order finding all asserted claims of the ‘476 patent valid, and that claims 4, 9 and 10 were not infringed by Alembic and Breckenridge. On July 11, 2017, the district court entered a final judgment that ordered, among other things, that Alembic’s, Amneal’s, Breckenridge’s and Hikma’s respective ANDAs not be granted final approval by FDA earlier than the date of expiration of the ‘476 patent inclusive of any applicable adjustments, extensions or exclusivities. The case is currently on appeal.

A separate bench trial concerning Sigmapharm’s infringement of the ‘476 patent began on June 20, 2018, and on November 16, 2018, the court held that Sigmapharms’ proposed ANDA product would infringe the ‘476 patent On November 26, 2018, Sigmapharm sought relief from the November 16, 2018 decision.

Trademark Enforcement Matters

Juvéderm^®. On April 5, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company brought an action for unfair competition, false advertising, dilution, conspiracy and infringement of Allergan’s JUVÉDERM trademarks in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Dermavita Limited Partnership (“Dermavita”), Dima Corp. S.A. (“Dima Corp.”) and KBC Media Relations LLC (“KBC”). Dima Corp. had previously announced its acquisition of a license from Dermavita to develop and market in the U.S. cosmetic products under the Juvederm trademark. During June 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with KBC. During July 2017, the Court preliminarily enjoined Dima Corp. from, inter alia, promoting or selling within the United States any product bearing the trademark JUVEDERM or any other trademark confusingly similar to it. During January 2018, the Court granted Dermavita’s renewed motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint based on purported lack of personal jurisdiction. The case remains pending against Dima.

Subsidiaries of the Company requested a preliminary injunction against Dermavita, Dima Corp, Aesthetic Services, Jacqueline Sillam and Dimitri Sillam in the High Court of Paris, France. During June 2017, the Paris Court preliminarily enjoined the defendants, inter alia, to refrain from promoting or selling in France its Juvederm products, to transfer various domain names and to pay provisional damages to Allergan, on the basis that such use would infringe Allergan’s EU and French JUVÉDERM trademarks and would amount to unfair competition. This injunction has been appealed. A subsidiary of the Company has also filed against Dermavita, Dima Corp. and others a full action of trademark infringement in the Paris court. Dermavita has requested that the full action be stayed pending the outcome of the Nanterre action and the EUIPO trademark proceedings, both mentioned below. The Paris court rejected Dermavita’s stay request and subsequently ordered the defendants to pay more than 75,000 Euros in liquidated damages for violation of the preliminary injunction mentioned above. Dermavita has filed an action against subsidiaries of the Company in the Nanterre, France court alleging that the subsidiaries have not used its JUVÉDERM trademark and requesting the court to revoke the Company’s trademark based on its purported lack of use. The Company has submitted its principal brief and awaits a hearing on.

Furthermore, more than 150 trademark opposition and cancellation actions between Allergan and Dermavita have been filed in front of the USPTO, EUIPO and various other national and regional trademark offices around the world. Most of these actions remain pending; however, Allergan has received favorable decisions in more than ten (10) such actions.

The complaints each seek declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. Additional complaints have been filed by different plaintiffs seeking to represent the same putative class of end-payors. In addition to the end-payor suits, two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of a class of direct payors and by direct purchasers in their individual capacities.

~~Zymar~~^®~~/Zymaxid~~^® ~~Litigation~~. On February 16, 2012, Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. filed a complaint in the federal district court in Delaware against Senju Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Senju”), Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kyorin”), and Allergan, Inc. alleging monopolization in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, conspiracy to monopolize, and unreasonable restraint of trade in the market for gatifloxacin ophthalmic formulations, which includes Allergan, Inc.’s ZYMAR^® ~~gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution 0.3% and ZYMAXID~~^® gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution 0.5% products. In the complaint, Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of treble damages and disgorgement of profits. Following the court’s denial of Allergan Inc.’s motions to dismiss, Allergan Inc. filed an answer to Apotex’s complaint on June 1, 2015. On March 27, 2017, the Company and Apotex settled this matter. On April 26, 2017, this matter was dismissed.

On June 6, 2014, a separate antitrust class action complaint was filed in the federal district court in Delaware against the same defendants as in the Apotex case. The complaint alleges that defendants unlawfully excluded or delayed generic competition in the gatifloxacin ophthalmic formulations market (generic versions of ZYMAR^® ~~and ZYMAXID~~^®). On September 18, 2014, Allergan, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and joined in co-defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.

(collectively, “Teva”). Teva notified Plaintiffs that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Delzicol^® before the ‘180 patent expires in April 2020. This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Teva’s ANDA that expires no earlier than January 2018 (unless there is a final court decision adverse to Plaintiffs sooner). Trial was scheduled for October 2017. On November 9, 2015, Plaintiffs also brought an action for infringement of ‘180 patent in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mylan Laboratories Limited and Mylan, Inc. (collectively, “Mylan”). Mylan notified Plaintiffs that it has filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Delzicol^® before the ‘180 patent expires in April 2020. This lawsuit triggered an automatic stay of approval of Mylan’s ANDA that expires no earlier than March 2018 (unless a court issues a decision adverse to Plaintiffs sooner). Trial was scheduled for October 2017. In March 2016, the court entered an order consolidating the Mylan litigation (~~C.A. 2:15-cv-01740) with the Teva litigation (C.A. 2:15-cv-01471) matter as the lead case.~~

On March 31, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a motion to stay the litigation against Teva, and, on April 11, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the originally-filed action against Teva for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On April 21, 2017, Plaintiffs brought an action for infringement of the ‘180 patent in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., which had notified Plaintiffs that, on or before March 9, 2017, it had amended its ANDA seeking to obtain approval to market generic versions of Delzicol^®.

On August 7, 2017, Teva and Mylan filed motions for summary judgment of non-infringement, and Teva filed a motion for summary judgment for alleged improper Orange Book listing. On September 28, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation granting Teva’s and Mylan’s motions for summary on non-infringement and denying, as moot, Teva’s summary judgment motion concerning Orange Book listing. On October 13, 2017, Plaintiffs and Defendants filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation on non-infringement. On October 24, 2017, the District Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s

recommendation as to non-infringement and issued final judgment on that issue. The District Court also ruled that defendants’ counterclaims be taken up after finality is achieved with respect to the non-infringement issue.

That same day, the Tribe filed an updated Mandatory Notice with the USPTO to reflect that the Tribe is the patent owner, and sought permission to file a motion to dismiss based on tribal sovereign immunity. During a September 11, 2017 teleconference, the USPTO postponed the September 13, 2017 hearing and set a briefing schedule on the Tribe’s motion to dismiss. The Tribe filed its opening brief on September 22, 2017, Petitioners filed their opposition brief on October 13, 2017, and the Tribe filed its reply brief on October 20, 2017. On October 4, 2017, the USPTO denied Mylan’s request for authorization to file a motion for additional discovery, and denied without prejudice Allergan’s counsel’s request to withdraw from the IPR proceedings. On November 3, 2017, the USPTO issued an order that (a) granted a motion by High Tech Inventors Alliance requesting authorization to file a brief as ~~amicus curiae~~ ~~on the issues presented in the Tribe’s motion to terminate, (b) permitted any other~~ ~~amicus curiae~~ wishing to file a brief related to the Tribe’s motion to terminate to do so, (c) permitted the parties to file a single response to any amicus briefs, (d) denied without prejudice Allergan’s counsel’s renewed request for authorization to file a motion to withdraw as counsel, and (e) adjusted the time to enter a final written decision in these proceedings to April 6, 2018.

On December 21, 2017, Allergan’s counsel renewed its request to file a motion to withdraw on the ground that, as of September 8, 2017, Allergan ceased to be an owner of the six patents involved in the IPR proceedings. On January 2, 2018, the USPTO authorized Allergan to file a motion to withdraw. Allergan filed its motion on January 9, 2018, and Petitioners filed its opposition on January 17, 2018. On December 22, 2017, the USPTO granted Petitioners’ request to file supplemental briefing limited to addressing the issue of litigation waiver discussed in the USPTO’s recent ~~LSI~~ ~~and~~ ~~Ericsson~~ ~~decisions. Petitioners and Patent Owner filed their supplemental briefs on January 5, and January 12, 2018, respectively.~~

On January 2, 2018, the Tribe filed a Request for Oral Hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) seeking certain discovery concerning the identity and impartiality of the merits panel assigned to this IPR.

NOTE 2728 — Concentration

The Company considers there to be a concentration risk for customers that account for 10% or more of their ~~third party~~third-party revenues. The following table illustrates any customer which accounted for 10% or more of our annual revenues within the U.S. and Canada in any of the past three fiscal years and the respective percentage of our revenues for which they account for each of the last three years:

Customer	2017			2016			2015			2018			2017			2016
McKesson Corporation		23	%		23	%		27	%		25	%		23	%		23	%
Cardinal Health, Inc.		19	%		18	%		20	%		23	%		19	%		18	%
AmerisourceBergen Corporation		19	%		18	%		19	%		22	%		19	%		18	%

~~Changes in the mix of concentration amongst the Company’s largest customers are due, in part, to the impact of acquisitions as well as changes in the supply chain of our indirect customers.~~ No other country outside the U.S. and Canada had 10% or more of global sales.

The Company’s accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in North America and ~~Europe and~~ primarily represent amounts due from wholesalers, distributors, drug store chains and service providers in the health care and pharmaceutical industries, public hospitals and other government entities. Approximately ~~58%~~62% and ~~59%~~58% of the gross accounts receivable balance are concentrated among the Company’s three largest customers as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts. Actual losses from uncollectible accounts have been minimal.

Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets using the Company’s products, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. The Company does not expect to have write-offs or adjustments to accounts receivable which would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Certain of the Company’s finished products and raw materials are obtained from single source suppliers. Although the Company seeks to identify more than one source for its various finished products and raw materials, loss of a single source supplier could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, a second source supplier may not be able to produce the same volumes of inventory as the Company’s primary supplier. No third party manufacturer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s products sold based on third-party revenues for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.
