1.	BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Laboratory Corporation of America^® Holdings together with its subsidiaries (the Company) is a leading global life sciences company that is deeply integrated in guiding patient care, providing comprehensive clinical laboratory and end-to-end drug development services. The Company’s mission is to improve health and improve lives by delivering world-class diagnostic solutions, bringing innovative medicines to patients faster and using technology to provide better care. The Company serves a broad range of customers, including managed care organizations (MCOs), biopharmaceutical companies, ~~medical device companies,~~ governmental agencies, physicians and other healthcare providers (e.g., physician assistants and nurse practitioners, generally referred to herein as physicians), hospitals and health systems, employers, patients and consumers, contract research organizations (CROs), and independent clinical laboratories.

The Company reports its business in two segments, LabCorp Diagnostics (LCD) and Covance Drug Development (CDD). For further financial information about these segments, see Note 16 ~~(Business~~Business Segment ~~Information).~~Information to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, LCD and CDD contributed approximately 60% and 40%~~, respectively, of revenues to the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, LCD and CDD contributed approximately 61% and 39%~~, respectively, of revenues to the Company.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20.0%) and no representation on the investee's board of directors) are accounted for at fair value or at cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer for those investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements of the Company's operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive ~~earnings (loss).~~income.”

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s ~~2018~~2019 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K (Annual Report). Therefore, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Guidance

~~Leases~~

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. The Company has elected to utilize the short-term lease exemption and not record leases with initial terms of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases and direct financing leases.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Comparative periods were not adjusted and are presented in accordance with lease guidance in effect for that period. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which includes not reassessing whether existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease,

~~INDEX~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)~~

reassessing the classification of existing leases, and reassessing whether previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for capitalization under the new standard. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. A certain number of these leases contain rent escalation clauses either fixed or adjusted periodically for inflation or market rates that are factored into the Company's determination of lease payments. The Company also has variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, for items such as volume purchase commitments, which are recorded as variable cost when incurred. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates an incremental borrowing rate based on the credit quality of the Company and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings, and adjusting this amount based on the impact of collateral over the term of each lease. The Company uses this rate to discount payments to present value. Some operating leases contain renewal options, some of which also include options to early terminate the leases. The exercise of these options is at the Company's discretion. The Company determined that all renewal options within leases for main laboratories, STAT laboratories, branches or combination sites were reasonably possible to be exercised and therefore are included in the accounting lease term.

The standard had a material impact in the consolidated balance sheets, but no material impact in the consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements~~

The expedients and exceptions in the standard are effective between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company did not elect to apply any of the expedients or exceptions for the period ended March 31, 2020 and is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Financial Statement Impact

In March 2020, the novel strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, was declared a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to have an extensive impact on the global health and economic environments. By mid-March 2020, government restrictions, social distancing guidelines, and overall customer caution associated with the ~~adoption~~COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected LCD’s revenues and CDD's operations. For LCD, reduction in demand impacted testing volumes broadly but was more heavily weighted towards routine tests. This reduction in demand impacted testing volumes broadly but was more heavily weighted towards routine tests. The performance of CDD has also been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic through numerous study site closures around the world as well as customer initiated delays for new patient recruitment for existing clinical trials and start-up of new clinical trials. As a result of the ~~new lease standard,~~impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company ~~reclassified~~recorded goodwill and other asset impairment charges of $437.4: $426.4 within CDD and $11.0 within LCD. See Note 6 Goodwill and Intangible Assets for discussion of goodwill and intangible asset impairment and Note 2 Revenue for the ~~capital lease asset balance~~discussion of ~~$44.4 at December~~credit losses and additional price concessions. The Company also wrote-off or wrote down certain of the Company's investments by $20.2 due to the impact of COVID-19, $7.1 included in Equity method earnings (loss), net and $13.1 included in Other, net.

Use of Estimates

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which it will impact worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of March 31, ~~2018, from Property, plant~~2020 and ~~equipment, net~~through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, ~~Other~~the Company’s implicit price concessions and credit losses, equity investments, software, notes receivable and the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in additional material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Contract costs

CDD incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term, along with related payroll tax expense. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the customer. The amortization period of sales commissions ranges from approximately 12 ~~months~~ to 57 months, depending on the business. For businesses that enter into primarily short-term contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient, which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Amortization of assets from sales commissions is included in selling, general, and administrative expense.

CDD incurs costs to fulfill contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Contract fulfillment costs include software implementation costs and setup costs for certain ~~endpoint and~~ market access solutions. These costs are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected term of the contract to which the implementation relates, which is the period over which services are expected to be provided to the customer. This period typically ranges from ~~24-60~~24 to 60 months. Amortization of deferred contract fulfillment costs is included in cost of goods sold.

Receivables, Unbilled Services and Unearned Revenue

~~The following table provides information about receivables, unbilled services, and unearned revenue (contract liabilities) from contracts with customers for the CDD segment.~~ Unbilled services are comprised primarily of unbilled receivables, but also include contract assets. A contract asset is recorded when a right to payment has been earned for work performed, but billing and payment for that work is determined by certain contractual milestones, whereas unbilled receivables are billable upon the passage of time. While CDD attempts to negotiate terms that provide for billing and payment of services prior or in close proximity to the provision of services, this is not always possible and there are fluctuations in the level of unbilled services and unearned revenue from period to period. The following table provides information about receivables, unbilled services, and unearned revenue (contract liabilities) from contracts with customers for CDD.

The preliminary purchase consideration for Envigo ~~transaction contributed $52.0~~has been allocated to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired, including approximately $141.4 in identifiable intangible assets and ~~$9.0 and $68.5 and $9.7~~a residual amount of ~~revenues and operating income, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.~~non-tax-deductible goodwill of approximately $380.8. The amortization period for intangible assets acquired is 11 years for customer relationships.

The purchase price allocation for the Envigo transaction is still preliminary and subject to change. The areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate primarily to ~~intangible assets,~~ goodwill ~~fixed assets~~ and the impact of finalizing deferred taxes. Accordingly, adjustments may be made as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the valuation date. The Company expects these purchase price allocations to be finalized by the second quarter of 2020. Any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are identified.

The amortization periods for intangible assets acquired from these businesses range from 11 to 15 years for customer relationships.~~$22.1. These acquisitions were made primarily to extend the Company's geographic reach in important market areas, enhance the Company's scientific differentiation and to expand the breadth and scope of the Company's CRO services. ~~The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.~~

4.	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings including the impact of dilutive adjustments by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares, as if they had been issued at the earlier of the date of issuance or the beginning of the period presented. Potentially dilutive common shares result primarily from the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance share ~~awards, and shares issuable upon conversion of zero-coupon subordinated notes.~~awards.

~~Amortization~~ of ~~intangible assets~~March 31, 2020, for two of its CDD reporting units, including one where the 2019 fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately 10%, and two of its LCD reporting units. Based on the quantitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value was less than carrying value for two of its reporting units and recorded a goodwill impairment of $418.7 for the ~~three months ended September 30, 2019,~~CDD segment and ~~2018,~~$3.7 for LCD segment.

The Company utilized a combination of income and market approaches to determine the fair value of the CDD reporting units. Based upon the results of the quantitative assessments, the Company concluded that the fair value was ~~$61.7~~less than its carrying value for one of the CDD reporting units. A non-cash charge of $418.7 was recognized and ~~$54.7, respectively~~included in goodwill and other asset impairments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2019,~~CDD reporting unit to fair value. Following the impairment charge, the carrying value of goodwill for this reporting unit is $1,554.7. The other CDD reporting unit evaluated indicated a fair value that exceeded carrying value by less than 10%. Management notes that a 1% change in the discount rate would reduce the headroom to approximately 2.0%. Goodwill for this reporting unit as of March 31, 2020 is $631.9.

The Company utilized the income approach to determine the fair value of the LCD reporting units. Based upon the results of the quantitative assessments, the Company concluded the fair value of one of the reporting units was less than its carrying value. A non-cash charge of $3.7 was recognized and ~~2018, was $179.0~~included in goodwill and ~~$175.5,~~other asset impairments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for this LCD reporting unit to zero. The other LCD reporting unit evaluated indicated a fair value that exceeded carrying value by less than 10.0%. Management notes that a 1% change in the discount rate would cause the fair value to be less than carrying value and would result in an impairment of approximately $40.0. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of Canadian licenses for this reporting unit as of March 31, 2020 were $81.5 and $444.1, respectively. ~~Amortization expense for~~

Although the Company believes that the current assumptions and estimates used in its goodwill analysis are reasonable, supportable, and appropriate, continued efforts to maintain or improve the performance of this business could be impacted by unfavorable or unforeseen changes which could impact the existing assumptions used in the impairment analysis. Various factors could reasonably be expected to unfavorably impact existing assumptions: primarily delays in new customer bookings and the related delay in revenue from new customers, increases in customer termination activity or increases in operating costs. In addition, given the ongoing and rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is significant uncertainty regarding the duration

and severity of the pandemic as well as any future government restrictions, which may unfavorably impact existing assumptions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for the purposes of the goodwill impairment analysis will prove to be accurate predictions of future performance.

The Company will continue to monitor the financial performance of and assumptions for its reporting units. Management's impairment analysis utilizes significant judgments and assumptions related to the market comparable method analysis, such as selected market multiples, and those related to cash flow projections, such as revenue and terminal growth rates, projected operating margin, and the discount rate. A significant increase in the discount rate, decrease in the revenue and terminal growth rates, decreased operating margin, or substantial reductions in end markets and volume assumptions, could have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of the reporting units. A future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

~~Senior Notes~~

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into two fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for its 4.625% senior notes due 2020 with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0 and variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.298% to hedge against changes in the fair value of a portion of the Company's long-term debt. These derivative financial instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges of the senior notes due 2020. These interest rate swaps are included in other long-term assets or other long-term liabilities, as applicable, and added to or subtracted from the value of the senior notes, with an aggregate fair value asset of $~~4.1~~ at ~~September 30, 2019, and an aggregate fair value liability of~~ ~~$3.1~~ at ~~December 31, 2018~~.

~~Zero-Coupon Subordinated Notes~~

On September 11, 2019, the Company announced that for the period from September 11, 2019, to March 10, 2020, the zero-coupon subordinated notes will accrue contingent cash interest at a rate of no less than 0.125% of the average market price of a zero-coupon subordinated note for the five trading days ended September 6, 2019, in addition to the continued accrual of the original issue discount.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled notices to convert $7.7 aggregate principal amount of its zero-coupon subordinated notes with a conversion value of $14.5. The total cash used for these settlements was $7.3. As a result of these conversions, the Company also reversed deferred tax liabilities of $1.7.

On October 15, 2019, the Company announced that its zero-coupon subordinated notes may be converted into cash and common stock at the conversion rate of 13.4108 per $1,000.0 principal amount at maturity of the notes, subject to the terms of the zero-coupon subordinated notes and the Indenture, dated as of October 24, 2006, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and the conversion agent. In order to exercise the option to convert all or a portion of the zero-coupon subordinated notes, holders are required to validly surrender their zero-coupon subordinated notes at any time during the calendar quarter beginning October 1, 2019, through the close of business on the last business day of the calendar quarter, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, December 31, 2019. If notices of conversion are received, the Company plans to settle the cash portion of the conversion obligation with cash on hand and/or borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. In the second half of March, daily volume for routine tests started to decline and may continue to decline as a result of decreased consumer demand driven by a significant reduction in physician office visits, the cancellation of elective medical procedures, and the negative impacts on discretionary spending resulting from the economic downturn, among other factors. In addition, the Company has experienced numerous study site closures around the world as well as delays for new patient recruitment for existing clinical trials and start-up of new clinical trials. The significance of the impact on the Company’s business is not yet certain and depends on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict.

As a result of the economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is implementing several measures to improve liquidity and operating results, including reduction of hours or furloughs of its employees, hiring freezes, temporarily suspending its share repurchases, increased requirements for acquisition activity, delaying some of its planned capital expenditures, and suspending merit pay increases and U.S. employee 401K plan contributions for 2020. Based on these actions and assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, the Company expects that it will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations.

~~10.~~9.	INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax expense of $66.4 and $214.4 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily resulted from the application of the Company's estimated effective blended U.S. federal and state income tax rate as well as a reduction in tax rates in a foreign jurisdiction. The provision for income tax expense of $180.6 and $328.1 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, primarily resulted from the application of the Company's estimated effective blended U.S. federal and state income tax rate, the Company's foreign tax rates and the tax impact of acquisitions, divestitures and tax reform.

The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that it believes is greater than 50% likely to be realized.

~~11.~~10.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation (including those described in more detail below), arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve claims that are substantial in amount. These matters include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes; commercial and contract disputes; professional liability claims; employee-related matters; and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid payers and MCOs reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties. The Company receives civil investigative demands or other inquiries from various governmental bodies in the ordinary course of its business. Such inquiries can relate to the Company or other parties, including physicians and other health care providers. The Company works cooperatively to respond to appropriate requests for information.

The Company also is named from time to time in suits brought under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act and comparable state laws. These suits typically allege that the Company has made false statements and/or certifications in connection with claims for payment from U.S. federal or state healthcare programs. The suits may remain under seal (hence, unknown to the Company) for some time while the government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the qui tam plaintiff. Such claims are an inevitable part of doing business in the healthcare field today.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, and other requirements applicable to its commercial laboratory operations and drug development support services. The healthcare diagnostics and drug development industries are, however, subject to extensive regulation, and the courts have not interpreted many of the applicable statutes and regulations. Therefore, the applicable statutes and regulations could be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that would adversely affect the Company. Potential sanctions for violation of these statutes and regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties, fines, the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations, additional liabilities from third-party claims, and/or exclusion from participation in government programs.

Many of the current claims and legal actions against the Company are in preliminary stages, and many of these cases seek an indeterminate amount of damages. The Company records an aggregate legal reserve, which is determined using calculations based on historical loss rates and assessment of trends experienced in settlements and defense costs. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 “Contingencies,” the Company establishes reserves for judicial, regulatory, and arbitration matters outside the aggregate legal reserve if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable and would exceed the aggregate legal reserve. When loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish separate reserves.

The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably probable loss for the proceedings described in more detail below in which damages either have not been specified or, in the Company's judgment, are unsupported and/or exaggerated and (i) the proceedings are in early stages; (ii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (iii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (iv) there are novel legal issues to be presented. For these proceedings, however, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, though the outcomes could be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

On January 16, 2019, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss. The Court dismissed the Plaintiffs' claims based on the theory that the Company performed medically unnecessary testing, the claims asserted under the California and Illinois insurance fraud prevention statutes, and the reverse False Claims Act claim.

defendants violated Sections 14(e), 14(d)(4) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to disclose certain allegedly material information. In addition, the complaints in the Malkoff action, the Asiatrade action, and the Cusumano action alleged that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Sequenom shareholders. The actions sought, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining the merger. On August 30, 2016, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in each of the above-referenced actions. On September 6, 2016, the Court entered an order consolidating for all pre-trial purposes the six individual actions described above under the caption In re Sequenom, Inc. Shareholder Litig., Lead Case No. 16-cv-02054-JAH-BLM, and designating the complaint from the Malkoff action as the operative complaint for the consolidated action. On November 11, 2016, two competing motions were filed by two separate stockholders (James Reilly and Shikha Gupta) seeking appointment as lead plaintiff under the terms of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. On June 7, 2017, the Court entered an order declaring Mr. Reilly as the lead plaintiff and approving Mr. Reilly's selection of lead counsel. The parties agree that the MOU has been terminated. The Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on July 24, 2017, and the Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss, which remains pending. On March 13, 2019, the Court stayed the action in its entirety pending the U.S. Supreme Court's anticipated decision in Emulex Corp. v. Varjabedian. On April 23, 2019, however, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the writ of certiorari in Emulex as improvidently granted. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

On March 10, 2017, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit, Victoria Bouffard, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The complaint alleges that the Company's patient list prices unlawfully exceed the rates negotiated for the same services with private and public health insurers in violation of various state consumer protection laws. The lawsuit also alleges breach of implied contract or quasi-contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud. The lawsuit seeks statutory, exemplary, and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and recovery of attorney's fees and costs. In May 2017, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint and Strike Class Allegations; the Motion to Dismiss was granted in March 2018 without prejudice. On October 10, 2017, a second putative class action lawsuit, Sheryl Anderson, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The complaint contained similar allegations and sought similar relief to the Bouffard complaint, and added

additional counts regarding state consumer protection laws. On August 10, 2018, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint, which consolidated the Bouffard and Anderson actions. On September 10, 2018, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint and Strike Class Allegations. On August 16, 2019, the court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, and denying the Motion to Strike the Class Allegations. ~~The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.~~

~~On September 7, 2017, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit,~~ ~~John Sealock, et al. v. Covance Market Access Services, Inc~~., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleged that Covance Market Access Services, Inc. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York labor laws by failing to provide overtime wages, failing to pay for all hours worked, and failing to provide accurate wage statements. The lawsuit sought monetary damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief, and recovery of attorney's fees and costs. In November 2017, the Company filed a Motion to Strike Class Allegations, which was denied. In December 2017, the Plaintiff filed a Motion for Conditional Certification of a Collective Action, which was granted in May 2018. In December 2018, Plaintiff filed, and the Court granted, a second motion to conditionally certify an expanded class to a nationwide class action. This matter has been settled in principle and the settlement is subject to judicial review and approval.

On July 16, 2018, the Company reported that it had detected suspicious activity on its information technology network and was taking steps to respond to and contain the activity. The activity was subsequently determined to be a new variant of ransomware affecting certain LCD information technology systems. As part of its response, the Company took certain systems offline, which temporarily affected test processing and customer access to test results, and also affected certain other information technology systems involved in conducting Company-wide operations. Operations were returned to normal within a few days of the incident. As part of its in-depth investigation into this incident, the Company engaged outside security experts and worked with authorities, including law enforcement. The investigation determined that the ransomware did not and could not transfer patient or client data outside of Company systems and that there was no theft or misuse of patient or client data. The Company cooperated with law enforcement and regulatory authorities with respect to the incident.

The Company has insurance coverage for costs resulting from cyber-attacks and has filed a claim for recovery of its losses resulting from this incident. However, disputes over the extent of insurance coverage for claims are not uncommon and the Company has not recognized any estimated proceeds resulting from this claim. Furthermore, while the Company has not been the subject of any legal proceedings involving this incident, it is possible that the Company could be the subject of claims from persons alleging they suffered damages from the incident, or actions by governmental authorities.

~~On September 21, 2018, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit,~~ ~~Alma Haro v. Laboratory Corporation of America, et al.~~, which was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. Plaintiff alleges that employees were not properly paid overtime compensation, minimum wages, meal and rest break premiums, did not receive compliant wage statements, and were not properly paid wages upon termination of employment. Plaintiff asserts these actions violate various California Labor Code provisions and constitute an unfair competition practice under California law. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, civil penalties, and recovery of attorney's fees and costs. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

On December 20, 2018, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit, Feckley v. Covance Inc., et al., filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. The complaint alleges that Covance Inc. violated the California Labor Code and California Business & Professions Code by failing to properly pay commissions to employees under a sales incentive compensation plan upon their termination of employment. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, civil penalties, punitive damages, and recovery of attorney’s fees and costs. On January 22, 2018, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. ~~The Company will vigorously defend~~On February 27, 2020, the ~~lawsuit.~~court entered an order dismissing the class action claims, and the parties settled the remaining individual claim.

On April 1, 2019, Covance Research Products was served with a Grand Jury Subpoena issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Miami, Florida requiring the production of documents related to the importation into the United States of live non-human primate shipments originating from or transiting through China, Cambodia, and/or Vietnam from April 1, 2014 through March 28, 2019.

On April 22, 2019, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit, Kawa Orthodontics LLP, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The lawsuit alleges that on or about February 6, 2019, the defendants violated the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unsolicited facsimiles to Plaintiff and at least 40 other recipients without the recipients' prior express invitation or permission. The lawsuit seeks the greater of actual damages or the sum of ~~$0.0005~~$0.0005 for each violation, subject to trebling under the TCPA, and injunctive relief.

of the AMCA Incident, the Company promptly stopped sending new collection requests to AMCA and stopped AMCA from continuing to work on any pending collection requests from the Company. AMCA informed the Company that it appeared that an unauthorized user had access to AMCA’s system between August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019, and that AMCA could not rule out the possibility that personal information on AMCA’s system was at risk during that time period. Information on AMCA’s affected system from the Company may have included name, address, and balance information for the patient and person responsible for payment, along with the patient’s phone number, date of birth, referring physician, and date of service. The Company was later informed by AMCA that health insurance information may have been included for some individuals, and because some insurance carriers utilize the Social Security Number as a subscriber identification number, the Social Security Number for some individuals may also have been affected. No ordered tests, laboratory test results, or diagnostic information from the Company were in the AMCA affected system. The Company notified individuals for whom it had a valid mailing address. For the individuals whose Social Security Number was affected, the notice included an offer to enroll in credit monitoring and identity protection services that will be provided free of charge for 24 months.

The Company was served with a shareholder derivative lawsuit, Raymond Eugenio, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings v. Lance Berberian, et al., filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on April 23, 2020. The complaint asserts derivative claims on the Company’s behalf against the Company’s board of directors and certain executive officers. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants failed to ensure that the Company utilized proper cybersecurity safeguards and failed to implement a sufficient response to data security incidents, including the AMCA Incident. The complaint asserts derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seeks relief including damages, certain disclosures, and certain changes to the Company’s internal governance practices.

Under the Company's present insurance programs, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposure as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. The Company is responsible for the uninsured portion of losses related primarily to general, professional and vehicle liability, certain medical costs and workers' compensation. The self-insured retentions are on a per-occurrence basis without any aggregate annual limit. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company's estimates of the aggregated liability of claims incurred.


11.	PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS

Retirement Plans

All employees eligible for the LCD defined-contribution retirement plan (LCD 401K Plan) receive a minimum 3% non-elective contribution (NEC) concurrent with each payroll period. Employees are not required to make a contribution to the LCD 401K Plan to receive the NEC. The NEC is non-forfeitable and vests immediately. The LCD 401K Plan also permits discretionary contributions by the Company of 1% to 3% of pay for eligible employees based on service. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, total expense for the LCD 401K Plan was $13.5 and $16.0, respectively.

All of the CDD U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the CDD 401K Plan, which is available on a voluntary basis and features a maximum 4.5% Company match, based upon a percentage of the employee’s contributions. The Company incurred expense of $23.4 and $19.9 for the Covance 401K plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

The Company also maintains several other small 401K plans associated with companies acquired over the last several years.

Pension Plans

The Company has a defined-benefit retirement plan (Company Plan) and a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan (PEP). Both plans have been closed to new participants since December 31, 2009. Employees participating in the Company Plan and PEP no longer earn service-based credits, but continue to earn investment credits.

The Company Plan covers substantially all employees employed prior to December 31, 2009. The benefits to be paid under the Company Plan are based on years of credited service through December 31, 2009, interest credits and average compensation. The Company's policy is to fund the Company Plan with at least the minimum amount required by applicable regulations.

The PEP covers a portion of the Company's senior management group. Prior to 2010, the PEP provided for the payment of the difference, if any, between the amount of any maximum limitation on annual benefit payments under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the annual benefit that would be payable under the Company Plan but for such limitation. Effective January 1, 2010, employees participating in the PEP no longer earn service-based credits. The PEP is an unfunded plan.

The effect on operations for the Company Plan and the PEP is summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
Service cost for administrative expenses	$	1.3		$	1.0
Interest cost on benefit obligation	2.8			3.5
Expected return on plan assets	(3.7		)	(3.8		)
Net amortization and deferral	2.6			2.6
Defined benefit plan costs	$	3.0		$	3.3

The service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost is included in operating expenses with other employee compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization or prior service cost/credit and settlement and curtailment effects are included in other, net non-operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company made no contributions to the Company Plan. The related net pension obligation for the Company Plan and PEP was $93.1 and $93.4 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

~~The Company has two defined contribution retirement plans (LabCorp 401K Plans) which cover substantially all U.S. employees. All employees eligible for the LabCorp 401K Plan receive a minimum~~ 3% non-elective contribution concurrent with each payroll period. The 401K Plan also permits discretionary contributions by the Company of up to 3% of pay for eligible employees based on years of service with the Company. The cost of this plan was $13.7 and $17.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and was $50.7 and $49.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. All of the Covance U.S. employees, including legacy Chiltern employees, are eligible to participate in the Covance 401K plan, which features a maximum 4.5% Company match, based upon a percentage of the employee’s contributions. Chiltern employees were previously eligible to participate in the Chiltern 401K plan, which featured a maximum 3.0% Company match, based upon a percentage of the employee's contributions. The Chiltern 401K plan merged into the Covance 401K plan effective January 7, 2019. The Company incurred expense of $18.2 and $16.3 for the Covance 401K plan during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $56.0 and $51.6 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company also maintains several other small 401K plans associated with companies acquired over the last several years.

The Company also maintains a frozen defined benefit retirement plan (Company Plan), which as of December 31, 2009, covered substantially all employees. The benefits to be paid under the Company Plan are based on years of credited service through December 31, 2009, and ongoing interest credits. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company Plan was closed to new participants. The Company’s policy is to fund the Company Plan with at least the minimum amount required by applicable regulations.

The Company maintains a second, unfunded, non-contributory, non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan (PEP), which as of December 31, 2009, covered substantially all of its senior management group.

The Company has a noncontrolling interest put related to its Ontario subsidiary that has been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest put is valued at its contractually determined value, which approximates fair value.

The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in an employee-funded deferred compensation plan (DCP). A participant's deferrals are allocated by the participant to one or more of 2216 measurement funds, which are indexed to externally managed funds. From time to time, to offset the cost of the growth in the participant's investment accounts, the Company purchases life insurance policies, with the Company named as beneficiary of the policies. Changes in the cash surrender value of ~~these~~

(dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)

the life insurance policies are based upon earnings and changes in the value of the underlying investments, which are typically invested in a similar manner ~~similar~~ to the participants' allocations. Changes in the fair value of the DCP obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. The cash surrender value and the DCP obligations are classified within Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments.

~~The Company has contingent accrued earn-out business~~Contingent acquisition consideration liabilities ~~which~~are measured at fair value using Level 3 valuations. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.

~~14.~~13.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate and cross currency swap agreements (see Interest Rate Swap and Cross Currency Swap sections below). Although the Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments (see Embedded Derivatives Related to the Zero-Coupon Subordinated Notes section below), theinstruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. ~~The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties.~~ The Company does not believe that its exposure to market risk is material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Interest Rate Swap

The Company is party to ~~two~~a fixed-to-variable interest rate swap ~~agreements~~agreement for its 4.625% senior notes due 2020 with ~~an aggregate~~a notional amount of ~~$600.0~~$300.0 and variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.298% to hedge against changes in the fair value of a portion of the Company's long term debt. ~~These~~This derivative financial ~~instruments are~~instrument is accounted for as fair value ~~hedges~~hedge of the ~~senior notes~~Senior Notes due 2020. These interest rate swaps are included in other long-term assets or ~~other long-term~~ liabilities, as applicable, and added to ~~or subtracted from~~ the value of the ~~senior notes, with an aggregate fair value of $4.1 (asset) and $3.1 (liability) at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.~~Senior Notes. As the specific terms and notional ~~amounts~~amount of the derivative financial ~~instruments match~~instrument matches those of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, the derivative ~~instruments are~~instrument is assumed to be a perfectly effective ~~hedges~~hedge and accordingly, there is no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from the interest rate swap are included in operating activities.

Cross Currency Swap

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into six U.S. Dollar to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $600.0 and which are accounted for as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss subsidiary. Of the notional value, $300.0 matures in 2022 and $300.0 matures in 2025. These cross currency swaps maturing in 2022 and 2025 are included in other long-term assets ~~with an aggregate fair value of $8.5 and $11.5, respectively,~~ as of ~~September 30, 2019 and are included in other long-term liabilities with an aggregate fair value of $1.0 and $1.8, respectively, as of December~~March 31, ~~2018.~~2020. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps are ~~charged or credited through~~recorded as a component of the foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive ~~earnings~~income in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cumulative amount of the fair value hedging adjustment included in the current value of the cross currency swaps is ~~$18.8 and $22.8, respectively,~~$19.9 for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and was recognized as currency translation within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Earnings.

~~Embedded Derivatives Related to the Zero-Coupon Subordinated Notes~~

The Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain the following two features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments under authoritative guidance in connection with accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities:


1)	The Company will pay contingent cash interest on the zero-coupon subordinated notes after September 11, 2006, if the average market price of the notes equals 120% or more of the sum of the issue price, accrued original issue discount and contingent additional principal, if any, for a specified measurement period.


2)	Holders may surrender zero-coupon subordinated notes for conversion during any period in which the rating assigned to the zero-coupon subordinated notes by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is BB- or lower.

~~The Company believes these embedded derivatives had~~ 0 ~~fair value at~~ ~~September 30, 2019, and~~ ~~December 31, 2018. These embedded derivatives also had~~ 0 ~~impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2019, and~~ ~~2018~~.

~~Other Derivative Instruments~~

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts, which are recognized as assets or liabilities at their fair value. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and the changes in fair value are recorded directly to earnings. The contracts are short-term in nature and the fair value of these contracts is based on market prices for comparable contracts. The fair value of these contracts is not significant as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

16.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The COVID-19 Global Pandemic

In order to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial position, the Company has taken a number of actions. In April 2020, the Company temporarily suspended share repurchases, and is suspending the Company’s contributions to 401K plans in the U.S., effective June 2020, and 2020 merit pay increases.

In April 2020, the Company received cash payments of approximately $56.0 from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund that was appropriated by Congress to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The HHS distributed the funds to healthcare providers based on their 2019 Medicare fee-for-service reimbursement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this transaction will have on the consolidated financial statements.

On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into amendments to its term loan facility and its revolving credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio covenant to 5.0x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for each of the three months periods ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2020 and 4.50x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The amendments also provide that during any period in which the Company's leverage ratio exceeds 4.50x debt to last twelve months EBITDA (i) the company will be prohibited from consummating share repurchases, subject to limited exceptions, (ii) borrowings under the revolving credit facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company's election, either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% or a base rate plus a margin of 0.25%, (iii) the facility fee that the Company is required to pay on the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility will be 0.25% per annum, and (iv) borrowings under the term loan facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company's election, either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.175% or a base rate plus a margin of 0.175%.

The increase in revenues was primarily due to ~~growth from~~ acquisitions of ~~1.6% and organic growth of 1.4% (which includes the negative impact from PAMA of 0.9%)~~3.4%, partially offset by the disposition of ~~businesses~~a business of ~~1.7%~~0.5% and ~~foreign currency translation~~lower organic growth of 1.8%. The lower organic revenue includes the negative impact from COVID-19 of approximately 4.9% (which includes a $17.0 increase in implicit price concessions as a result of the pandemic) and lower Medicare and Medicaid pricing as a result of PAMA of 0.7%.

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. COVID-19 has and continues to have an extensive impact on the global health and economic environments.

~~Effective January 1, 2019,~~On March 5, 2020, in response to the pandemic, the Company ~~adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842~~ ~~Leases~~ ~~using~~announced the ~~effective date method.~~availability of the LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) NAA test, which detects the presence of the underlying virus that causes COVID-19, for use with patients who meet current guidance for evaluation of infection with COVID-19. Since that time, the Company has been continuously working to increase the number of tests that can be performed and improve the time for delivering test results. The Company ~~elected~~currently has the ~~package~~capacity to perform 55,000 to 65,000 COVID-19 molecular tests per day on top of ~~practical expedients, which includes~~the hundreds of thousands of non-COVID-19 tests. The Company continues to invest in expanding its COVID-19 testing capabilities and capacity, while at the same time supporting the development of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, as well as other life-saving medicines. On April 21, 2020, the Company announced through its Pixel by LabCorp^TMplatform the availability of self-collection kits for its COVID-19 NAA test under an emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), further increasing access to the test, particularly for healthcare workers and first responders. On April 22, 2020, the Company also expanded availability of serology tests to detect antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. The Company has the capacity to perform more than 50,000 serology tests per day and expects that capacity to increase to 200,000 per day by mid-May 2020, provided the necessary supplies are available.

By mid-March 2020, government restrictions, social distancing guidelines, and overall customer caution associated with the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected LCD's revenues and CDD's operations. For LCD, demand for testing declined 50% to 55% versus the Company's normal daily levels at the end of the first quarter. This reduction in demand impacted testing volumes broadly but was more heavily weighted towards routine tests. The Company expects the volume to increase through the remainder of the year. The performance of CDD has also been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic through numerous study site closures around the world as well as customer initiated delays for new patient recruitment for existing clinical trials and start-up of new clinical trials. The Company expects drug development study deferrals to continue at least through the first half of 2020, if not ~~reassessing whether existing contracts contain leases under~~longer.

As a result of the ~~new definition~~impact of ~~a lease, reassessing~~COVID-19, during the ~~classification~~three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill and other asset impairment charges of ~~existing leases,~~$437.4, $426.4 within CDD and ~~reassessing whether previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify~~$11.0 within LCD. See Note 6 Goodwill and Intangible Assets for ~~capitalization under~~discussion of goodwill and intangible asset impairments and Note 2 Revenue for the ~~new standard.~~discussion of credit losses and additional price concessions. The Company also ~~elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.~~

~~On June 3, 2019,~~wrote-off or wrote down certain of the Company's ~~CDD segment completed~~investments by $20.2 due to the ~~acquisition~~impact of ~~Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business, expanding CDD's global nonclinical drug development capabilities with additional locations~~COVID-19, $7.1 included in Equity method earnings (loss), net and ~~resources. Additionally,~~$13.1 included in Other, net.

Notwithstanding the negative developments in demand and operations, the Company ~~divested~~believes that it maintains a solid financial position, including a strong balance sheet, investment grade ratings, and access to credit. However, in order to mitigate the ~~Covance Research Products (CRP) business, which was a part~~effects of the ~~CDD segment,~~pandemic on its financial position, the Company has temporarily suspended share repurchases, increased requirements for acquisition activity, delayed some of its capital expenditures, made certain adjustments to ~~Envigo.

In April 2020, the Company received cash payments of approximately $56.0 from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund that was appropriated by Congress to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The ~~Company paid cash consideration~~HHS distributed the funds to healthcare providers based on their 2019 Medicare fee-for-service reimbursement.

The Company remains on track to deliver $150.0 of net savings from CDD's three-year LaunchPad initiative by the end of 2020. The Company expects phase II of LCD’s LaunchPad initiative to deliver approximately $200.0 in net savings over the next

~~three years, while incurring approximately $40.0 in one-time implementation costs. Approximately one-third of the total savings are expected to be realized each year.~~

On May 14, 2019, Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc. d/b/a American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), an external collection agency, notified the Company about a security incident AMCA experienced that may have involved certain personal information about some of the Company’s patients (the AMCA Incident). The Company referred patient balances to AMCA only when direct collection efforts were unsuccessful. The Company’s systems were not impacted by the AMCA Incident. Upon learning of the AMCA Incident, the Company promptly stopped sending new collection requests to AMCA and stopped AMCA from continuing to work on any pending collection requests from the Company. AMCA informed the Company that it appeared that an unauthorized user had access to AMCA’s system between August 1, 2018 and March 30, 2019, and that AMCA could not rule out the possibility that personal information on AMCA’s system was at risk during that time period. Information on AMCA’s affected system from the Company may have included name, address, and balance information for the patient and person responsible for payment, along with the patient’s phone number, date of birth, referring physician, and date of service. The Company was later informed by AMCA that health insurance information may have been included for some individuals, and because some insurance carriers utilize the Social Security Number as a subscriber identification number, the Social Security Number for some individuals may also have been affected. No ordered tests, laboratory test results, or diagnostic information from the Company were in the AMCA affected system. The Company notified individuals for whom it had a valid mailing address. For the individuals whose Social Security Number was affected, the notice included an offer to enroll in credit monitoring and identity protection services that will be provided free of charge for 24 months.

PAMA, which went into effect on January 1, 2018, resulted in a net reduction of revenue of approximately $70.0 in 2018 from all payers affected by the Clinical Lab Fee Schedule. A reduction of approximately $80.8 has been incurred through the first nine months of 2019. Unless further implementation of PAMA is delayed or changed, an additional reduction of approximately $30.0 is expected for 2019.

The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with the corresponding period in 2018 was 0.6%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to growth from acquisitions of 1.6% and organic growth of 1.4% (which includes the negative impact from PAMA of 0.9%), partially offset by the disposition of businesses of 1.7% and negative foreign currency translation of 0.7%.

LCD revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $5.24 billion, a decrease of 1.8% over revenues of $5.34 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decline in revenues was primarily due to the negative impact from the disposition of businesses of 2.4% and negative currency translation of 0.2%, partially offset by acquisitions of 0.4%. Organic revenues grew 0.3% and includes the negative impact of 1.5% from PAMA.

Total volume (measured by requisitions) excluding the disposition of businesses increased 0.2% as acquisition volume contributed 0.2% and organic volume was flat. Organic volume was negatively impacted by approximately 1.8% from the combination of lower consumer genetics, managed care contract changes, and fewer revenue days. Excluding the disposition of businesses, revenue per requisition increased by 0.4%, including the negative impact from PAMA of 1.5%.

CDD revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $3,376.4, an increase of 5.0% over revenues of $3,214.1 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to organic growth of 3.5% and acquisitions of 3.5%, partially offset by negative foreign currency translation of 1.5% and a business disposition of 0.5%.

In addition, the Company recorded $7.4 of non-capitalized costs associated with the implementation of a major system as part of its LaunchPad business process improvement initiative and reversed $13.9 related to the settlement of a contingent purchase price related to a 2016 acquisition. These items increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $67.6.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred integration and other related costs of $43.1 primarily relating to the Chiltern acquisition and sale of the Food Solutions business. As a direct result of the ransomware attack experienced during July the Company incurred $5.8 in consulting fees incurred during the recovery period following the attack. The Company also recorded $4.3 in consulting expenses related to the Chiltern integration and management transition costs along with a special one-time bonus of $31.1 ($6.3 of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses) to non-bonus eligible employees in recognition of the benefits the Company received from the passage of the TCJA. In addition, the Company incurred $7.3 of non-capitalized costs associated with the implementation of a major system as part of its LaunchPad business process improvement initiative.

8.5 %
Total amortization of intangibles and other assets $ 179.0
$ 175.5
2.0 %

The decrease in amortization of intangibles and other assets within the LCD segment was primarily due to the reduction of amortizable intangible assets pursuant to the divestiture of three LCD businesses in 2018, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions occurring after September 30, 2018. Amortization of intangible assets within the CDD segment increased primarily due to the impact of acquisitions occurring after September 30, 2018, partially offset by the reduction of amortizable intangible assets pursuant to the divestiture of one CDD business during the second quarter of 2019.

~~Interest Expense~~

Nine Months Ended September 30,
2019 2018 Change
Interest expense $ (176.3 ) (186.0 ) (5.2 )%

The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with the corresponding period in 2018, is primarily due to the repayment of the 2.50% senior notes in 2018, the repayment of the 2014 term loan, partial repayment of the 2017 term loan and a reduced level of borrowing on the revolving credit facility, partially offset by the new 2019 term loan.

2019 2018 Change
Equity method income, net $ 7.9
$ 8.5
(7.1 )%

Equity method income represents the Company's ownership share in joint venture partnerships along with equity investments in other companies in the health care industry. All of these partnerships and investments reside within LCD. The decrease in income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with the corresponding period in 2018, was primarily due to decreased profitability of the Company's joint ventures.

~~Other, net~~

(108.7 )%

The change in other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, is primarily due the gain of $258.3 recognized on the sale of the Food Solutions business in the third quarter of 2018 offset by a $48.9 loss on the divestiture of the Company's forensic testing services business in the UK. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an $11.9 loss on disposition of a business and a $4.3 write-off of two of the Company's cost method investments. These losses were partially offset by other investment gains of $11.7. In addition, foreign currency transaction losses of $10.7 were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and losses of $2.3 in the corresponding period of 2018.

~~Income Tax Expense~~

Nine Months Ended September 30,
2019 2018 Change
Income tax expense $ 214.4
$ 328.1
(34.7 )%
Income tax expense as a % of earnings before income taxes 26.4 % 31.1 %

The 2019 tax rate was favorable to 2018 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of acquisitions, divestitures and tax reform in 2018, a favorable impact of higher stock compensation deductions in 2018, the favorable impact of a reduction in tax rates in a foreign jurisdiction in 2019, and partially offset by a lower mix of earning in lower tax rate foreign jurisdictions in 2019.

The decrease in operating income and margin was primarily due to lower Medicare and Medicaid pricing as a result of PAMA, higher personnel costs, disposition of businesses, and cybersecurity expenses, partially offset by the Company’s LaunchPad initiatives, and acquisitions.The Company remains on track to deliver approximately $200.0 of net savings from its three-year, phase II of LabCorp Diagnostics’ LaunchPad initiative by the end of 2021.

CDD operating income was $277.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 42.1% over operating income of $195.3 in the corresponding period of 2018, and CDD operating margin increased 200 basis points year-over-year. The increase in operating income and margin were primarily due to organic demand, LaunchPad savings, acquisitions and currency translation, partially offset by personnel costs, cybersecurity investments, and rent expense to support the Company's global expansion. The Company is on track to deliver $150.0 of net savings from its three-year CDD LaunchPad initiative by the end of 2020, and $30.0 and $10.0 of cost synergies from the integration of Chiltern and Envigo, respectively by the end of 2019.

The ~~$55.9~~$38.0 increase in cash provided from operations in ~~2019~~2020 as compared with the corresponding ~~2018~~2019 period is primarily due to ~~higher~~lower cash earnings ~~and~~more than offset by favorable working capital. The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty about the Company's near-term operating cash flows. Based on current expectations of the impact of COVID-19, the Company expects to continue to generate positive cash flows from operating activities, however, should the COVID-19 impact worsen or last longer than anticipated, the Company may see a significant decline in cash flows from operating activities.

The Company expects capital expenditures in 2019 to be approximately 3.5% of revenues primarily in connection with projects to support growth in the Company's core businesses, including projects related to LaunchPad. The Company intends to continue to pursue acquisitions to fund growth and make important investments in its business, including in information technology, to improve efficiency and enable the execution of the Company's strategic vision. Such expenditures are expected to be funded by cash flow from operations, as well as borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility or any successor facility, as needed.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market rate or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and the Company regularly evaluates its exposure to such changes. The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, and interest rate and cross currency swap agreements. Although, as set forth below, the Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes contain features that are considered to be embedded derivative instruments, the Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Approximately ~~12.6%~~12.8% of the Company's revenues for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and approximately ~~14.0%~~12.6% of ~~those~~the Company's revenue for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the translation of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting the Company's consolidated financial results. In the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 and the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc, Euro and British Pound. Excluding the impacts from any outstanding or future hedging transactions, a hypothetical change of 10% in average exchange rates used to translate all foreign currencies to U.S. dollars would have impacted income before income taxes for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020 by approximately ~~$3.4.~~$1.5. Gross accumulated currency translation adjustments recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity were ~~$(45.4)~~$(147.5) and ~~$(82.2)~~$21.6 at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. The Company does not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly-inflationary.

The Company earns revenue from service contracts over a period of several months and, in some cases, over a period of several years. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations during this period may affect the Company's profitability with respect to such contracts. The Company is also subject to foreign currency transaction risk for fluctuations in exchange rates during the period of

INDEX

time between the consummation and cash settlement of transactions. The Company limits its foreign currency transaction risk through exchange rate fluctuation provisions stated in some of its contracts with customers, or it may hedge transaction risk with foreign currency forward contracts. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company had 2834 open foreign exchange forward contracts relating to service contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through ~~October 2019~~April 2020 with a notional value totaling approximately ~~$358.5.~~$457.4. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company had 34 open foreign exchange forward contracts relating to service contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January ~~2019~~2020 with a notional value totaling approximately ~~$487.9.~~$369.2.

The Company is party to ~~six~~ U.S. Dollar to Swiss Franc ~~cross currency~~cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0, maturing in 2022 and 2025, as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss Franc functional currency subsidiary.

Interest Rates

Some of the Company's debt is subject to interest at variable rates. As a result, fluctuations in interest rates affect the business. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk and overall borrowing costs through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt including by the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.

Borrowings under the Company's term loan credit ~~facilities~~facility and revolving credit facility are subject to variable interest rates, unless fixed through interest rate swaps or other agreements. As of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had ~~$277.0 of unhedged variable rate debt from the 2017 term loan credit facility, $850.0~~$375.0 and $375.0, respectively, of unhedged variable debt from the 2019 term loan credit facility and $0.0 ~~outstanding on its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $527.0 of unhedged variable rate debt from the 2017 term loan credit facility~~ and $0.0, respectively, outstanding on its revolving credit facility.

To hedge against changes in the fair value of a portion of the Company's long-term debt, the Company is party to ~~two~~a fixed-to-variable interest rate swap ~~agreements~~agreement for a portion of the 4.625% senior notes due 2020 with an aggregate notional amount of ~~$600.0~~$300.0 and variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.298%.


1)	The Company will pay contingent cash interest on the zero-coupon subordinated notes after September 11, 2006, if the average market price of the notes equals 120% or more of the sum of the issue price, accrued original issue discount and contingent additional principal, if any, for a specified measurement period.

~~INDEX~~


2)	Holders may surrender zero-coupon subordinated notes for conversion during any period in which the rating assigned to the zero-coupon subordinated notes by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services is BB- or lower.

Each quarter-point increase or decrease in the variable rate would result in the Company's interest expense changing by approximately ~~$2.8~~$0.9 per year for the Company's unhedged variable rate debt.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On June 3, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business. The Company’s management has extended its oversight and monitoring processes that support internal control over financial reporting to include the acquired Envigo operations. The ~~Company’s~~Company's management is continuing to integrate the acquired operations of Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business into the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting process. ~~However, management plans to exclude these operations from its annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2019.~~

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 1110 (Commitments and Contingencies) to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, above, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There~~The risk factors set forth below revise and supplement the corresponding risk factors set forth in Part I - Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended. With the exception of the following, there have been no material changes in the risk factors that appear in Part I - Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The effects of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic have had and could continue to have material adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. In the second half of March, daily volume for routine tests started to decline and may continue to decline as a result of decreased consumer demand driven by a significant reduction in physician office visits, the cancellation of elective medical procedures, and the negative impacts on discretionary spending resulting from the economic downturn, among other factors. In addition, the performance of the Company’s drug development business has been challenged by COVID-19 due to actions that clients are taking that are slowing clinical trial progress and the associated testing as well as restrictions in trial site access in certain countries and interruptions in the supply chain that can temporarily delay study activity. The significance of the impact on the Company’s business is not yet certain and depends on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict or effectively respond to.

The further spread of COVID-19, and the Company’s initiatives to help limit the spread of the illness, will impact the Company’s ability to carry out its business as usual, which could materially adversely impact its business and financial condition. The Company has incurred additional costs for the safety of its employees and the continuity of its operations, including increased frequency of deep cleaning and sanitation at each of its physical locations, additional safety training and processes, enhanced hygiene practices and materials, flexible and remote working where possible, and allowing for greater social distancing for the Company’s employees who must work on-site. Additionally, the Company has made a number of changes at the Company’s patient service centers for the comfort and safety of the patients, many of which have also increased costs for the Company. For example, the Company has set aside the first business hour of every day for vulnerable patients, launched a mobile check-in process that allows patients to wait for their appointment from within their car or other nearby location, and increased sanitation and disinfection in check-in areas, waiting rooms, bathrooms, and hallways with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-approved disinfectants.

The Company faces increased cybersecurity risks due to the number of employees that are working remotely in regions impacted by stay-at-home orders. Increased levels of remote access create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities, and employees may be more susceptible to phishing and social engineering attempts. The Company may also be subject to increased cyber-attacks, such as phishing attacks by threat actors using the attention placed on the pandemic as a method for targeting our personnel. In addition, technological resources may be strained due to the number of remote users.

The Company expects to continue to incur additional costs, which may be significant, as it continues to implement operational changes in response to this pandemic. Further, the COVID-19 outbreak could also disrupt the Company’s supply chain, including by impacting its ability to secure supplies for its facilities, COVID-19 tests and drug development projects, and to provide personal protective equipment for its employees in its testing centers. For similar reasons, the COVID-19 pandemic has also adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, third parties that are critical to the Company’s business, including vendors, suppliers, and business partners. These developments, and others that are difficult or impossible to predict, could impact materially the Company’s business, financial results, cash flows, and financial position.

The Company has diverted resources to developing and enhancing the accessibility of COVID-19 testing, while at the same time taking certain steps with respect to its business strategy in order to increase cash flexibility. For example, the Company has temporarily suspended its share repurchase program, increased requirements for acquisition activity, delayed some of its capital expenditures, and suspended merit pay increases and 401(k) contributions for U.S. employees for 2020. These measures, and any other measures the Company has taken and will continue to take to mitigate COVID-19, may be insufficient to ensure the financial stability of the Company, or may have other adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. Additionally, if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time, the Company may be forced to prioritize

INDEX

its application of resources to the continued mitigation of COVID-19, at the expense of other potentially profitable opportunities or initiatives, such as through the development of new products or selected business acquisitions.

If the Company does not respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if the Company’s customers do not perceive its response to be adequate, the Company could suffer damage to its reputation, which could adversely affect its business.

On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and containment and mitigation measures were recommended; six days prior to this characterization, the Company announced the availability of its LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) NAA test, which detects the presence of the underlying virus that causes COVID-19, for use with patients who meet current guidance for evaluation of infection with COVID-19. On April 9, 2020, the Company announced an agreement to collaborate on a comprehensive U.S.-based COVID-19 patient data registry. The Company is now able to perform approximately 55,000 to 65,000 tests per day, and has performed more than 1,000,000 tests since making its first COVID-19 test available. The Company also launched a self-collection kit for its COVID-19 NAA test under an emergency use authorization from the FDA, as well as expanded availability of serology tests to detect antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. Despite the Company's to expand capacity and access to COVID-19 testing, the Company’s customers and other stakeholders may perceive the Company’s responses to the pandemic as insufficient or inadequate. Factors that may be out of the Company’s control, such as the availability of supplies and key personnel, may impact the Company’s ability to maintain testing capacity and result delivery testing and its other responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Any such disruptions could result in negative publicity, and the Company could suffer damage to its reputation, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

The success of the Company is dependent in part on the efforts of its management team and key personnel, and the COVID-19 pandemic could divert or hinder the Company’s human capital resources, which may adversely affect the Company’s operations.

The Company’s management team and key personnel have been acutely focused on efforts to respond to and mitigate COVID-19, including developing the LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) NAA test. Since that time, the Company has been continuously working to increase the number of tests that can be performed and improve the time for delivering test results. The Company’s management team is also working closely with federal and state authorities, health officials, and other key constituencies to make testing available to patients who meet the CDC criteria for who should be tested, and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidance for prioritization of testing. These response efforts have required, and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources that would otherwise be focused on the development and growth of the Company. Further, if the Company’s management or other key personnel become unavailable due to illness or from other related factors, its operations could be materially adversely affected.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption that could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, including with respect to the Company’s ability to repay its senior notes due in the fourth quarter of 2020 and maintain its maximum leverage ratio covenant under its term loan facility and revolving credit facility.

While the Company believes that it maintains a solid financial position, including a strong balance sheet, investment grade ratings, and significant access to credit, the sweeping nature of the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 pandemic has created cascading effects, all of which are difficult to predict. As the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit and financial markets, the Company’s ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet its liquidity needs in the future could be adversely impacted. The Company may also experience greater than normal impact due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, decreased sales volumes, changes in employment rates and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery, the ability of its customers to pay for its services, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company has implemented several measures in order to increase cash flexibility in light of these economic uncertainties, including temporarily suspending its share repurchase program, increased requirements for acquisition activity, delaying some of its capital expenditures, and suspending merit pay increases and U.S. employee 401(k) contributions for 2020. These measures, and any other measures the Company may take to mitigate COVID-19, may be insufficient to ensure the financial stability of the Company, and may have other adverse impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

The Company's term loan facility at March 31, 2020 required it to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 4.0x debt to last twelve months EBITDA. Violation of that covenant could preclude the Company from borrowing on the revolving credit facility and require repayment of its term loan of $375.0, if demanded by a majority of the Company's bank group. In May 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into amendments to the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio covenant to 5.0x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for each of the three month periods ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2020 and 4.5x debt to last twelve months EBITDA for the three month period ending March 31, 2021. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with this modified covenant due to the uncertainties of the Company's financial performance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Company were not able to do so, any future covenant amendment or waiver that the Company may need or seek in the future may lead to increased costs, increased interest

INDEX

rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain additional amendments or waivers in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2020, $412.2 of the Company's senior notes will become payable. The Company maintains an investment grade debt rating, has strong relationships with key banks, and believes that it will be able to repay these notes with available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, or by refinancing the notes in the public debt market. However, any failure to pay the senior notes at maturity, or a violation of its term loan and revolving credit facility leverage ratio covenants or other covenants, a failure to obtain any additional covenant amendments or waivers, or a failure to obtain alternative financing, if required, could result in a default, which would result in defaults under the Company’s other debt agreements and have material adverse consequences for the Company.
