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

1.Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Mallinckrodt plc is a global business of multiple wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Mallinckrodt" or "the Company") that develop, manufacture, market and distribute specialty pharmaceutical products and therapies. Areas of focus include autoimmune and rare diseases in specialty areas like neurology, rheumatology, hepatology, nephrology, pulmonology, ophthalmology and ophthalmology;oncology; immunotherapy and neonatal respiratory critical care therapies; analgesicsanalgesics; cultured skin substitutes and gastrointestinal products.
The Company operates in two reportable segments, which are further described below:
Specialty Brands includes innovative specialty pharmaceutical brands; and
Specialty Generics includes niche specialty generic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API(s)").
The Company owns or has rights to use the trademarks and trade names that are used in conjunction with the operation of its business. One of the more important trademarks that the Company owns or has rights to use that appears in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is "Mallinckrodt," which is a registered trademark or the subject of pending trademark applications in the United States ("U.S.") and other jurisdictions. Solely for convenience, the Company only uses the ™ or ® symbols the first time any trademark or trade name is mentioned in the following notes. Such references are not intended to indicate in any way that the Company will not assert, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, its rights to its trademarks and trade names. Each trademark or trade name of any other company appearing in the following notes is, to the Company's knowledge, owned by such other company.

Basis of Presentation
On October 12, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Mallinckrodt plc and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc operating the Specialty Generics business (the "Specialty Generics Subsidiaries") and the Specialty Brands business (the "Specialty Brands Subsidiaries"), and certain of the Company's international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics Subsidiaries and Specialty Brands Subsidiaries, the "Debtors") voluntarily initiated proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). On March 2, 2022, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the fourth amended plan of reorganization (with technical modifications) (the "Plan"). Subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Chapter 11 proceedings commenced by a limited subset of the Debtors were recognized and given effect in Canada, and separately the High Court of Ireland made an order confirming a scheme of arrangement on April 27, 2022, which is based on and consistent in all respects with the Plan (the "Scheme of Arrangement"). On June 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a minor modification to the Plan. The Plan became effective on June 16, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), and on such date the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 and the Scheme of Arrangement became effective concurrently.
See Note 2 for further information on the Plan and emergence from Chapter 11.
Upon emergence from Chapter 11, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852 - Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of the Effective Date. References to "Successor" relate to the financial position as of June 16, 2022 and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to June 16, 2022, while references to "Predecessor" relate to the financial position prior to June 16, 2022 and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, June 16, 2022. All emergence-related transactions of the Predecessor were recorded as of June 16, 2022. Accordingly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Successor are not comparable to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor. See Note 3 for further information.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described within the notes to the financial statements included within the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (Predecessor). In connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company elected to make an accounting policy change as described below:
Predecessor Contingencies — Legal fees pertaining to asbestos-related matters were estimated and accrued as part of the Company's projected asbestos liability.
Successor Contingencies — Legal fees pertaining to asbestos matters are expensed as incurred.
This change in accounting policy resulted in a $22.8 million fresh-start adjustment to the asbestos-related liability and a $20.3 million adjustment to the corresponding indemnification receivable as of the Effective Date.
8


Also in connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company made a change in estimate related to the Specialty Generics segment inventory turn calculation. This prospective change is expected to result in the discrete amortization of $20.5 million of capitalized variances through the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The amount recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) was $12.5 million and the amount recognized for the period June 17, 2022 through September 30, 2022 (Successor) was $14.9 million.
The Company also reassessed and updated its product line net sales presentation for its Specialty Generics segment. Beginning with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 1, 2022 (Successor), the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the updated product line net sales structure for its Specialty Generics segment. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform to current presentation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which they own or control more than 50.0% of the voting shares, or have the ability to control through similar rights. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows and financial position have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the results reported. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
The results of entities disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal, and where appropriate, these operations have been reported in discontinued operations. Divestitures of product lines and businesses not meeting the criteria for discontinued operations have been reflected in operating (loss) income.loss.
The fiscal year end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but dodoes not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 202031, 2021 (Predecessor) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 10, 2021.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11 and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
On October 12, 2020, Mallinckrodt plc and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), to modify its capital structure, including restructuring portions of its debt, and resolve potential legal liabilities, including but not limited to those described in Note 12 as Opioid-Related Matters and Acthar Gel-Related Matters. In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "RSA") (further detail for which is provided in Note 2) as part of a prearranged plan of reorganization. See Note 2 for further information on the voluntary petitions for reorganization, the RSA and agreements in principle subsequently memorialized in the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.
7


Substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists in light of its Chapter 11 Cases. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, its ability to, subject to the approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), implement a plan of reorganization, emerge from the Chapter 11 proceedings and generate sufficient liquidity following the reorganization to meet its obligations, most notably its opioid and Acthar® Gel (repository corticotropin injection) ("Acthar Gel")-related settlements, restructured debt obligations, and operating needs.
Although management believes that the reorganization of the Company through the Chapter 11 proceedings will appropriately position the Company upon emergence, the commencement of these proceedings constituted an event of default under certain of the Company’s debt agreements, enforcement of any remedies in respect of which is automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings. There are a number of risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s bankruptcy, including, among others that: (a) the Company’s prearranged plan of reorganization may never be confirmed or become effective, (b) the RSA may be terminated by one or more of the parties thereto, (c) the Bankruptcy Court may grant or deny motions in a manner that is adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries, and (d) the Chapter 11 Cases may be converted into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The transactions contemplated by the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transactions described therein will be consummated. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans at this stage do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors (as defined in Note 2) retain control of their assets and are authorized to operate their business as debtors-in-possession while being subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. While operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business and subject to applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Any such actions occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases authorized by the Bankruptcy Court could materially impact the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For more information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases, see Note 2.15, 2022.

Fiscal Year
The Company reports its results based on a "52-53 week" year ending on the last Friday of December. The period June 17, 2022 through September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2022 reflect the Successor periods, while the period January 1, 2022 through, and including, June 16, 2022 reflects the Predecessor period. Unless otherwise indicated, the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) reflects the thirteen week period ended September 30, 20222 (Successor), and the three and nine months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) refers to the thirteen and thirty-nine week periodsperiod ended September 24, 2021 and the three and nine months ended September 25, 2020 refers to the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 25, 2020. The full year(Predecessor). Fiscal 2021 (Predecessor) consisted of 53 weeks, while fiscal 2020 consisted2022 will consist of 52 weeks while fiscal 2021and will consist of 53 weeks and end on December 31, 2021.30, 2022.

2.Bankruptcy ProceedingsEmergence from Voluntary Reorganization
Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11
On October 12, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Mallinckrodt plc and certainDuring the pendency of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated the Chapter 11 Cases, under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court to effectuate settlements contemplated in the RSA. The entities that filed the Chapter 11 Cases include the Company, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc operating the Specialty Generics business (the "Specialty Generics Subsidiaries") and the Specialty Brands business (the "Specialty Brands Subsidiaries"), and certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics Subsidiaries and Specialty Brands Subsidiaries, the "Debtors"). Pursuant to orders granted by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Chapter 11 proceedings commenced by a limited subset of the Company's subsidiaries have also been recognized and given effect in Canada. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Mallinckrodt plc, Case No. 20-12522 (JTD). Information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including the case docket, may be found free of charge at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/Mallinckrodt/.
The Debtors continue to operateoperated their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. As debtors-in-possession, the Debtors arewere authorized to continue to operate as ongoing businesses, and maywere allowed to pay all debts and honor all obligations arising in the ordinary course of their businesses after the Petition Date. However, the Debtors maywere not allowed to pay third-party claims or creditors on account of obligations arising before the Petition Date or engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
8


Under the Bankruptcy Code, third-party actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness owed by the Debtors, as well as most litigation pending against the Company as of the Petition Date, arewere subject to an automatic stay. However, under the Bankruptcy Code, certain regulatory or criminal proceedings generally are not subject to the automatic stay and may continue unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court providing otherwise, substantially all pre-petition liabilities will be resolved under a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.
Among other requirements, a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization must comply with the priority scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code, under which certain post-petition and secured or “priority” pre-petition liabilities need to be satisfied before general unsecured creditors and holders of the Company's equity are entitled to receive any distribution. Upon solicitation of the plan of reorganization to creditors, with an accompanying court-approved disclosure statement, certain impaired creditors and interest holders will vote by ballot to approve or reject the plan. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the Chapter 11 Cases to the claims and interests of each of these constituencies. SeeRestructuring Support Agreement and Plan of Reorganization section below for contemplatedthe distributions to creditors and interest holders.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, modify, assign or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and to certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, where applicable, the express termination rights thereunder or a quantification of their obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any overriding rejection rights the Debtors have under the Bankruptcy Code.
As discussed further below, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court for certain "first day" motions, including motions to obtain customary relief intended to continue ordinary course operations after the Petition Date.

Significant Bankruptcy Court Actions
First Day Motions
On October 14, 2020, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court approval of their customary motions filed on the Petition Date ("First Day Motions") on an interim basis seeking court authorization to continue to support its business operations during the Chapter 11 Cases, including the continued payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption, payment of critical and foreign vendors, continuation of customer programs, continuation of use of existing cash management programs and allowance of certain financing payments under a cash collateral order. The First Day Motions were subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court on a final basis at hearings.
Chapter 11 Financing
The Company obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases (in a form agreed with, among others, the agent under the senior secured credit facilities, lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans and holders of the first lien senior notes and the second lien senior notes) permitting the use of cash collateral to finance the Chapter 11 Cases. Such use is subject to an approved budget, updated and submitted every four weeks, consisting of rolling thirteen week periods subject to the consent of the lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans.
Such order requires that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition fees, unpaid pre-petition interest (at the specified contract rate) and post-petition interest (at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 200 basis points), quarterly amortization payments on the senior secured term loans and reimbursement of certain costs. Such order further requires that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the first lien senior notes and the second lien senior notes for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition interest (at the specified non-default interest rate) and reimbursement of certain costs. On April 13, 2021, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court approval of their motion to amend the final cash collateral order as of March 22, 2021 to pay post-petition interest on the senior secured term loans at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted LIBOR, plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 250 basis points for its senior secured term loans.

Interest expense incurred and paid with respect to the incremental adequate protection payments of 200 basis points and 250 basis points on the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans, respectively, were as follows:
September 24,
2021
Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
Interest expense incurred for adequate protection payments$15.8 $46.1 
Cash paid for adequate protection payments16.4 45.5 
The cash collateral order provides that it is without prejudice to (i) the rights of certain parties to request additional or alternative adequate protection from the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) the rights of lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans to seek a higher rate of interest and (iii) the rights of the holders of the first lien senior notes and the second lien senior notes to seek payment of a make-whole premium.
Bar Date
On December 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a deadline of February 16, 2021 at 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) (the "General Bar Date") and April 12, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) (the “Governmental Bar Date”) (collectively, together the "Bar Dates") for filing claims against the Debtors relating to the period prior to the Petition Date for general claims and government claims, respectively. The preceding Bar Dates do not cover opioid claims (inclusive of voluntary injunction opioid claims). The Company's review of asserted claims is discussed further below in Chapter 11 Claims Process.
Administrative Expense Bar Date
On May 20, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a deadline of June 28, 2021 at 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) (the "Administrative Expense Bar Date") for filing claims against the Debtors relating to the period from the Petition Date to April 30, 2021 for administrative expense requests by certain creditors. The preceding Administrative Expense Bar Date does not cover opioid claims (inclusive of voluntary injunction opioid claims). The Company's review and reconciliation of asserted administrative expense requests is ongoing.
Injunctive Litigation Relief
The Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending its prior injunctions against certain opioid and Acthar Gel-related litigation matters proceeding against the Debtors and also against certain covered non-Debtors on August 30, 2021. Refer to Note 12 for further discussion.

Restructuring Support Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
Restructuring Support Agreement
On October 11, 2020, the Company and the other Debtors entered into a RSA with creditors holding approximately 84%, by aggregate principal amount, of the Company’s outstanding guaranteed unsecured senior notes and with a group of governmental plaintiffs in the opioid litigation pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including 50 state and territory attorneys general and the court-appointed plaintiffs’ executive committee in the opioid multidistrict litigation (collectively, the "RSA Supporting Parties"). After the bankruptcy filing, the Multi-State Governmental Entities Group (the "MSGE Group") entered into a joinder to the RSA that gained the support of approximately 1,300 cities, municipalities, hospital and school districts, amongst others. On March 11, 2021, an ad hoc group of lenders holding approximately $1,300.0 million, by aggregate principal amount, of the Company’s outstanding senior secured term loan due September 2024 (the "2017 Term Loan") and senior secured term loan due February 2025 (the "2018 Term Loan") agreed to join the RSA as supporting parties and certain of the existing supporting parties agreed to certain amendments thereto (the "Joinder and Amendment").
The restructuring transactions will be effectuated through the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which among other things provides for a financial restructuring that would reduce the Company’s total debt by approximately $1,300.0 million. Pursuant to the RSA, each of the Debtors and the RSA Supporting Parties has made certain customary commitments to each other in connection with the pursuit of the transactions contemplated by the term sheets attached thereto. The Debtors have agreed, among other things, to use commercially reasonable efforts to make all requisite filings with the Bankruptcy Court; continue to involve and update the RSA Supporting Parties’ representatives in the bankruptcy process; and satisfy certain other covenants. The RSA Supporting Parties have committed to support and vote for the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization implementing the terms of the RSA and have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or refrain from taking, certain actions in furtherance of such support.
The RSA contains milestones for the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases (the "Milestones"), which include the dates by which the Debtors are required to, among other things, obtain certain orders of the Bankruptcy Court and consummate the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy. Among other milestones, the RSA (as amended, including by the Joinder and Amendment) requires the Debtors to have filed a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization by no later than April 20, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court to have entered an order
10


confirming the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization by no later than August 15, 2021 and the Debtors to have emerged from bankruptcy by no later than November 15, 2021. The Bankruptcy Court commenced the plan confirmation hearing on November 1, 2021, to which scheduling the parties to the RSA consented.
The RSA (as supplemented by the above-described joinders, including the Joinder and Amendment) incorporates the terms agreed to by the parties reflected in the term sheets attached to the RSA and such joinders, including the Joinder and Amendment, including an agreement by the RSA Supporting Parties. Each of the parties to the RSA may terminate the agreement (and thereby their support for the associated plan of reorganization) under certain limited circumstances. Any Debtor may terminate the RSA upon, among other circumstances: (i) its board of directors, after consultation with legal counsel, reasonably determining in good faith that performance under the RSA would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and (ii) certain actions by the Bankruptcy Court, including dismissing the Chapter 11 Cases or converting the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court incorporating the Amended Proposed Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement, the settlement with the UCC and the settlement with the Settling Second Lien Noteholders.
The Amended Plan and the related Disclosure Statement describe, among other things, the terms of the Amended Plan; the Debtors contemplated financial restructuring (the “Restructuring”); the events leading up to the Chapter 11 Cases; certain events that have occurred or are anticipated to occur duringin the Chapter 11 Cases including(in a form agreed with, among others, the anticipated solicitation of votes to approveagent under the Proposed Plan from certainpredecessor senior secured credit facilities, lenders under the Existing Revolver and the Existing Term Loans and holders of the Debtors’ creditors and certain other aspects of the Restructuring.
By order dated June 17, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure StatementExisting 1L Notes and the Solicitation and Voting Procedures. PursuantExisting 2L Notes) permitting the use of cash collateral to the Solicitation and Voting Procedures, the Debtors mailed the ballots, solicitation packages and related notices by June 24, 2021, and votes were due by October 13, 2021, with exception of holders of class 8 and 9 whose votes were due October 20, 2021. In accordance with the Debtors’ proposed confirmation timeline, which is subject to change by the Bankruptcy Court, a hearing to consider confirmation of the Amended Plan (which may be adjourned or extended from time to time) commenced on November 1, 2021.

Event of default
The commencement offinance the Chapter 11 Cases above constituted an event of default under certain ofCases.
Such order required that the Company’s debt agreements. Subject to any applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company’s debt instruments and agreements, as further described in Note 10 and within the notes to the financial statements included within the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2020, provide that, as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and in the case of the indebtedness outstanding under the senior notes, premium, if any, thereon, shall be immediately due and payable. Accordingly, all long-term debt was classified as currentCompany make cash adequate protection payments on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 24, 2021Existing Revolver and December 25, 2020. However, any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the debt instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and the creditors’ rights in respect of the debt instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Financial Reporting in Reorganization
Effective on the Petition Date, the Company began to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 852 - Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirementsExisting Term Loans for, entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. These requirements include distinguishing transactions directly associated with the reorganization from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business within the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date. Expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that are directly associated with reorganization proceedings must be reported separately as reorganization items, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC") of the Debtors from pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise, post-petition liabilities, and liabilities of the subsidiaries of the Company that are not debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. LSTC are pre-petition obligations that are not fully secured and have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the full claim amount. Where there is uncertainty about whether a secured claim will be paid or impaired pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have classified the entire amount of the claim as LSTC.
Furthermore, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession, actions to enforce or otherwise effect the payment of certain claims against the Debtors in existence before the Petition Date are stayed while the Debtors continue business operations as debtors-in-possession. These claims are reflected as LSTC in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020. Additional claims (which could be LSTC) may arise after the Petition Date resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or agreement by parties-in-interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.
Certain subsidiary entities are not debtors under the Chapter 11 Cases. However, condensed combined financial statements of the Debtors are not presented in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the assets and liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the non-debtor entities included in the consolidated financial statements are insignificant and, therefore, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein materially represent the unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the debtor entities for all periods presented.
Non-debtor entity intercompany balances from/due to the debtor entities at the end of each period were:

September 24,
2021
December 25,
2020
Intercompany receivables$137.2 $282.3 
Intercompany payables119.7 120.3 
The intercompany balances were primarily attributable to the Company's centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The permission to continue the use of existing cash management systems during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on a final basis as part of the First Day motions as described further above.
The Company is currently assessing whether or not it qualifies for fresh start accounting upon emergence from Chapter 11. If the Company were to meet the requirements to adopt the fresh start accounting rules, its assets and liabilities would be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is subject to compromise or other treatment pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors the authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors' business and assets. As described above, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition fees, unpaid pre-petition interest (at the specified contract rate) and post-petition interest (at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 200 basis points), quarterly amortization payments on the Existing Term Loans and reimbursement of certain costs. Such order further required that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the Existing 1L Notes and Existing 2L Notes for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition interest (at the specified non-default interest rate) and reimbursement of certain costs. On April 13, 2021, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court authorized, but did not require,approval of their motion to amend the Debtorsfinal cash collateral order as of March 22, 2021 to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employee wages and benefits, critical and foreign vendors and customer programs.
The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be settled or treated cannot be made untilpost-petition interest on the Bankruptcy Court confirms a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and such plan becomes effective. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time. GAAP requires pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts currently classified as LSTC are preliminary and may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events.

Liabilities subject to compromise at the end of each period consisted of the following:

The cash collateral order expired on June 16, 2022.
Interest expense incurred and paid with respect to the incremental adequate protection payments of 200 basis points and 250 basis points on the Existing Revolver and Existing Term Loans, respectively, were classified as LSTC in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 24, 2021.follows:

(4)The decrease in other current and non-current liabilities was primarily attributable to the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Company's rejection of its Bedminster facility lease, which resulted in a $34.8 million adjustment to the carrying value of the respective lease liability in LSTC to reflect the estimated allowed claim amount. The remaining decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $15.6 million in the fair value of contingent consideration related to an asset for which the Company is no longer pursuing further development. Refer to Note 12 for further information on the valuation of contingent consideration.

The Debtors have received over 50,000 proofsCompany qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting as of claim since the Petition Date. The Debtors continue their reviewEffective Date in accordance with ASC 852 as (i) the reorganization value of the assets of the Company immediately prior to the date of effectuation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and analysis of certain claims including litigation claims, trade creditor claims, non-qualified benefit plan claims, customer deposits and advances, along with other tax and regulatoryallowed claims and therefore,(ii) the ultimate liabilityholders of the Debtors for such claims may differ fromvoting shares of the Predecessor immediately before effectuation of the Plan received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor.

Reorganization Value
Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's total assets and is intended to approximate the amount recordeda willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after restructuring. Upon the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in LSTC.

As set forth in the extent that the Debtors believe that such claims will be alloweddisclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors will continueestimated enterprise value of the Successor was estimated to recordbe between $5,200.0 million and $5,700.0 million, with a midpoint of $5,450.0 million, which was estimated with the assistance of third-party valuation advisors using various valuation methods, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the business based on its projection, and (ii) comparable public company analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operation and financial characteristics. The estimated enterprise value per the disclosure statement included estimated equity value in a range between $563.0 million and $1,063.0 million, with a midpoint of $813.0 million. Subsequent to the filing of the disclosure statement, the Company made revisions to certain of the cash flow projections due to declines in projected operating performance. Based upon a reevaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value and updated expected allowed amountscash flow projections, the Company concluded the enterprise value, or fair value, was $5,223.0 million.
The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the enterprise value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company considers such claims as LSTC. Theestimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the expected allowed amountCompany's enterprise value.

Fresh-Start Adjustments
(q)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's inventory. Both the bottom-up and top-down approach were used. The bottom-up approach considers the inventory value that had been created by the Company including the costs incurred, profit realized, and tangible and intangible assets used pre-Effective Date. The top-down approach measures the incremental inventory value created by the market participant buyer as part of its selling effort to an end customer and considers the costs that will be incurred, the profit that will be realized, and the tangible and intangible assets that will be used post-Effective Date.
(r)Reflects the reduction of $54.0 million in prepaid income taxes due to remeasurement as a result of fresh-start accounting. Also reflects a write-off of $4.3 million of asbestos indemnification receivable affiliated with asbestos-related defense costs in line with the Company's accounting policy change as outlined in Note 1.
(s)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's property, plant and equipment. Both the market and cost approaches were utilized to fair value land and buildings. The cost approach was utilized to fair value capitalized software and machinery and equipment. Construction in process was reported at its cost less adjustments for economic obsolescence.
(t)Reflects the fair value adjustment related to the Company's intangible assets. The fair value of the completed technology and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") intangible assets were determined using the income approach. The cash flows were discounted commensurate with the level of risk associated with each asset or its projected cash flows. The valuation used discount rates ranging from 13.0% through 15.0%, depending on the asset. The IPR&D discount rate was developed after assigning a probability of success to achieving the projected cash flows based on the current stages of development, inherent uncertainty in the FDA approval process and risks associated with commercialization of a new product. See Note 10 for further information on intangible assets.
(u)Reflects the write-off of (i) $16.0 million of asbestos indemnification receivable affiliated with asbestos-related defense costs in line with the Company's accounting policy change as outlined in Note 1; (ii) $3.9 million of spare parts that did not meet the Company's capitalization threshold; and (iii) $1.1 million of third party debt issuance costs. Also reflects a decrease of $0.9 million to income tax receivables associated with a change in uncertain tax positions as a result of fresh-start accounting.
In addition, the Company's lease obligations were revalued using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company upon emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings and commensurate with its new capital structure. The incremental borrowing rate used in the revaluation of the lease obligations increased from 8.85% in the Predecessor period to 11.83% in the Successor period. The revaluation of lease obligations includes the adjustment for contract-based off-market intangibles for favorable or unfavorable terms to the right-of-use assets as well as the removal of right-of-use assets (and affiliated lease liabilities) associated with the Company's leases with a remaining contract term of less than one year as of the Effective Date. The revaluation resulted in a reduction in the right-of-use asset of $1.6 million.
(v)Reflects the write-off of (i) $6.1 million and $16.7 million of current and non-current asbestos-related defense costs, respectively, in line with the Company's accounting policy change as outlined in Note 1; and (ii) an adjustment of $6.9 million to increase the Company's total lease liabilities as a result of the revaluation of the lease obligations as described in footnote (t) above.
(w)Reflects the write-off of $5.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and a $23.5 million fair value adjustment to debt principal as determined by the Black-Derman-Toy model related to the reinstated Existing 1L Notes.
(x)Reflects the reduction of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that are no longer required upon emergence.
(y)Reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate the accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.1 million related to pension benefits and $2.1 million of currency translation adjustment, partially offset by the elimination of $0.3 million of income tax effects, which resulted in income tax benefit of $0.3 million.

Included within the net cash refunds of $160.4 million were refunds of $178.8 million received as a result of provisions in the CARES Act and net payments of $18.4 million related to operational activity.
On July 15, 2022, the Company received notification that the Joint Committee on Taxation approved the Internal Revenue Service audit reports relating to three CARES Act tax refund claims that were individually in excess of $5.0 million. The Company expects to receive CARES Act tax refunds totaling $135.9 million, excluding related interest, within the next twelve months.

If favorably settled, $63.2$24.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) would benefit the effective tax rate. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to these obligations was $17.9$2.5 million and $16.7$18.9 million as of September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) and December 25, 2020,31, 2021 (Predecessor), respectively.

It is reasonably possible that withinWithin the next twelve months, the unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $139.9 million and the amount of related interest and penalties could decrease by upare not expected to $16.4 million as a result of payments or releases due to the resolution of examinations, appeals and litigation and the expiration of various statutes of limitation.decrease.
Certain of the Company’sCompany's subsidiaries continue to be subject to examination by taxing authorities. The earliest open years subject to examination for both the U.S federal and state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions, including Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the United Kingdom is 2013.
As a result of the Plan, the Company recognized CODI on its indebtedness, resulting in the utilization of, and reduction to, certain of its tax losses and tax credits in the U.S. and Luxembourg. The remaining of its U.S. tax losses and credits are from 2013expected to presentbe significantly limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the earliest openIRC. Additionally, the Company recognized a U.S. capital loss as a result of the Plan. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, forto the U.S federalextent it is not reduced by CODI or limited under IRC section 382 or 383. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The portion of deferred tax assets associated with the tax losses and state jurisdictionscredits that are 2013limited under IRC Section 382 or 383, and 2009, respectively.that have a remote possibility of being utilized, have been written off.
The Plan's tax effect, and impacts on the Company's tax losses and credits, is expected to be finalized when the U.S. Federal income tax return that is due in 2023 is completed.

11.12.Guarantees
In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company has from time to time provided representations, warranties and indemnities to cover various risks and liabilities, including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities related to periods prior to disposition. The Company assesses the probability of potential liabilities related to such representations, warranties and indemnities and adjusts potential liabilities as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. The Company believes, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolutions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with the sale of the Specialty Chemical business (formerly known as Mallinckrodt Baker) in fiscal 2010, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser with respect to various matters, including certain environmental, health, safety, tax and other matters. The indemnification obligations relating to certain environmental, health and safety matters have a term of 17 years from the sale, while some of the other indemnification obligations have an indefinite term. The amount of the liability relating to all of these indemnification obligationswas $14.9 million and included in other liabilitiesLSTC on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheetssheet as of September 24,December 31, 2021 and December 25, 2020 was $15.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively,(Predecessor), of which $12.3$12.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, related to environmental, health and safety matters. The value of the environmental, health and safety indemnity was measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the costs expected to be incurred to address environmental, health and safety claims made under the indemnity. The aggregate fair value of these indemnification obligations did not differ significantly from their aggregate carrying value as of September 24,December 31, 2021 and December 25, 2020.

Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, the Company believes, unless otherwise indicated below, given the information currently available, that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On October 12, 2020, the Company announced that Mallinckrodt plc and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated the Chapter 11 Cases under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. As a result of initiating the Chapter 11 Cases, all litigation and proceedings against the Company have beenwere automatically stayed, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Governmental Proceedings
Opioid-Related Matters
Since 2017, multiple U.S. states, counties, a territory, other governmental persons or entities and private plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against certain entities of the Company, as well as various other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, individual doctors and/or others, asserting claims relating to defendants' alleged sales, marketing, distribution, reimbursement, prescribing, dispensing and/or other practices with respect to prescription opioid medications, including certain of the Company's products. As of November 1, 2021,
Pursuant to the cases the Company is aware of include, but are not limited to, approximately 2,618
23


cases filed by counties, cities, Native American tribes and/or other government-related persons or entities; approximately 270 cases filed by hospitals, health systems, unions, health and welfare funds or other third-party payers; approximately 124 cases filed by individuals; approximately 6 cases filed by schools and school boards; and 17 cases filed by the Attorneys General for New Mexico, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Georgia, Florida, Alaska, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Illinois, Mississippi, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, Ohio, and Idaho, with Idaho being the only state Attorney General to file in federal as opposed to state court. As of November 1, 2021, the Mallinckrodt defendants in these cases consist of Mallinckrodt plcPlan and the following subsidiariesScheme of Mallinckrodt plc: Mallinckrodt Enterprises LLC, Mallinckrodt LLC, SpecGx LLC, Mallinckrodt Brand Pharmaceuticals Inc., Mallinckrodt Inc., MNK 2011 Inc., and Mallinckrodt Enterprises Holdings, Inc. Certain ofArrangement, on the lawsuits have been filed as putative class actions. On October 8, 2020, the State of Rhode Island filed a lawsuit against the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Mark C. Trudeau, asserting similar claims relating to the marketing and distribution of prescription opioid medications. Rhode Island has voluntarily agreed to a stay of the lawsuit against Mr. Trudeau.
Most pending federal lawsuits have been coordinated in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The MDL court has issued a series of case management orders permitting motion practice addressing threshold legal issues in certain cases, allowing discovery, setting pre-trial deadlines and setting a trial date on October 21, 2019 for two cases originally filed in the Northern District of Ohio by Summit County and Cuyahoga County against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies ("Track 1 Cases"). The counties claimed that opioid manufacturers' marketing activities changed the medical standard of care for treating both chronic and acute pain, which led to increases in the sales of their prescription opioid products. They also alleged that opioid manufacturers' and distributors' failure to maintain effective controls against diversion was a substantial cause of the opioid crisis. On September 30, 2019, the Company announced that Mallinckrodt plc, along with its wholly owned subsidiaries Mallinckrodt LLC and SpecGx LLC, had executed a definitive settlement agreement and release with Cuyahoga and Summit Counties in Ohio. The settlement fully resolves the Track 1 cases againstEffective Date all named Mallinckrodt entities that were scheduled to go to trial in October 2019 in the MDL. Under the agreement, the Company paid $24.0 million in cash on October 1, 2019. In addition, the Company will provide $6.0 million in generic products, including addiction treatment products, and will also provide a $0.5 million payment in two years in recognition of the counties' time and expenses. Further in the event of a comprehensive resolution of government-related opioid claims the Company has agreed that the two plaintiff counties will receive the value they would have received under such a resolution, less the payments described above. All namedagainst Mallinckrodt entities were dismissed with prejudice from the lawsuit. The value of the settlement should not be extrapolated to any other opioid-related cases or claims.
Other lawsuits remain pending in various state courts. In some jurisdictions, certain of the state lawsuits have been consolidated or coordinated for pre-trial proceedings before a single court within their respective state court systems.
The lawsuits assert a variety of claims, including, but not limited to, public nuisance, negligence, civil conspiracy, fraud, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) or similar state laws, violations of state Controlled Substances Acts or state False Claims Acts, product liability, consumer fraud, unfair or deceptive trade practices, false advertising, insurance fraud, unjust enrichment, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and other common law and statutory claims arising from defendants' manufacturing, distribution, marketing and promotion of opioids and seek restitution, damages, injunctive and other relief and attorneys' fees and costs. The claims generally are based on alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions in connection with the sale and marketing of prescription opioid medications and/or an alleged failure to take adequate steps to prevent diversion.
Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement. On February 25, 2020, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with a court-appointed plaintiffs' executive committee representing the interest of thousands of plaintiffs in the MDL and supported by a broad-based group of 48 state and U.S. Territory Attorneys General on the terms of a global settlement that would resolve all opioid-related claims against the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement"). The Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement contemplated the filing of voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 by the Specialty Generics Subsidiarieswere deemed to have been settled, discharged, waived, released and the establishment of a trust for the benefit of plaintiffs holding opioid-related claimsextinguished in full against the Company (the "Opioid Claimant Trust"). Furthermore, under the terms of the Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement, subject to court approval and other conditions, it was contemplated that, the Company would (1) make cash payments of $1,600.0 million in structured payments over eight years, beginning upon the Specialty Generics Subsidiaries’ emergence from the completed Chapter 11 case, the substantial majority of which would be expected to be contributed to the Opioid Claimant Trust and (2) issue warrants with an eight year term to the Opioid Claimant Trust exercisable at a strike price of $3.15 per share to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares that would represent approximately 19.99% of the Company's fully diluted outstanding shares, including after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants (the “Settlement Warrants”).
Amended Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement. In conjunction with the Company's Chapter 11 filing on October 12, 2020, the Company entered into a RSA which includes a proposed resolution of all opioid-related claims against the CompanyMallinckrodt and its subsidiaries, that supersedes the Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement. On September 2, 2021, the Debtors reached an agreement in principle with the Opioid Claimants, which supersedes the Amended Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement as proposed in the RSA. The agreement in principle provides that, upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 process, subjectand Mallinckrodt and its subsidiaries ceased to court approval and other conditions:
Opioid claims would be channeled to onehave any liability or more trusts, which would receive $1,725.0 million in structured payments consisting of (i) a $450.0 million payment upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11; (ii) a $200.0 million payment
24


upon each of the first and second anniversaries of emergence; (iii) a $150.0 million payment upon each of the third through seventh anniversaries of emergence; and (iv) a $125.0 million payment upon the eighth anniversary of emergence with an eighteen month prepayment option at a discount for all but the first payment.
Opioid claimants would also receive warrants for approximately 19.99% of the reorganized Company’s new outstanding shares, after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants, but subject to dilution from equity reserved under the management incentive plan, exercisable at any time on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Company's emergence, at a strike price reflecting an aggregate equity value for the reorganized Debtors of $1,551.0 million (the "New Opioid Warrants").
Upon commencing the Chapter 11 filing, the Company has begun to comply with an agreed-upon operating injunctionobligation with respect to the operation of its opioid business.
Insuch claims, which were treated in accordance with the announced agreementPlan as set forth in principle, the Company recorded an accrual for the additional structured cash payment related to this contingency of $125.0 million during the three months ended September 24, 2021. As of September 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020, the Company maintained an accrual for this contingency of $1,725.0 million and $1,600.0 million within LSTC, respectively. No value has been ascribed to the warrants as of September 24, 2021 or December 25, 2020 as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the equity value upon emergence. For further information on the terms of this proposed resolution, refer to Note 2.
Other Opioid-Related Matters. On June 1, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Mallinckrodt plc, Mallinckrodt Canada ULC, Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Province of British Columbia ("Province") and the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia ("College") in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, captioned Laura Shaver v. Mallinckrodt Canada ULC, et al., Court File No. VLC-S-S-205793. The action purports to be brought on behalf of any persons: (1) prescribed Methadose for opioid agonist treatment in British Columbia after March 1, 2014; (2) covered by Pharmacare Plan C within British Columbia who were prescribed Methadose for opioid agonist treatment after February 1, 2014; (3) who transitioned from compounded methadone to Methadose for opioid agonist treatment in British Columbia after March 1, 2014; (4) covered by Pharmacare Plan C within British Columbia who were transitioned from compounded methadone to Methadose for opioid agonist treatment after February 1, 2014; or (5) falling within such other class definition as the British Columbia Court may approve. The suit generally alleges that the Province’s decision to grant Methadose coverage under Pharmacare Plan C and remove compounded methadone from coverage under Pharmacare Plan C had adversely affected those being treated for opioid use disorder due to Methadose allegedly being a significantly less effective treatment than generic compounded methadone. The suit asserts that the Province, the College and the Mallinckrodt defendants knew (or ought to have known) about, failed to warn patients about and made false representations concerning, the efficacy of Methadose and the risks of switching from compounded methadone to Methadose. The suit seeks general, special, aggravated, punitive and exemplary damages in an unspecified amount, costs and interest and injunctive relief against the Province, the College and the Mallinckrodt defendants. Pursuant to two orders granted by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("Canadian Court") on October 15, 2020, the Chapter 11 proceedings commenced by Mallinckrodt plc and Mallinckrodt Canada ULC pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code were recognized and given effect in Canada. Among other things, the Canadian Court has stayed all proceedings against the Mallinckrodt defendants, including the British Columbia class action proceedings. The Canadian Court granted a further order on February 25, 2021, staying the British Columbia class action proceedings against all defendants. At this stage, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the expected amount or range of cost or any loss associated with this lawsuit.
New York State Opioid Stewardship Act. On October 24, 2018, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the State of New York, asking the court to declare New York State's Opioid Stewardship Act (“OSA”) unconstitutional and to enjoin its enforcement. On December 19, 2018, the court declared the OSA unconstitutional and granted the Company's motion for preliminary injunctive relief. On January 17, 2019, the State of New York appealed the court's decision. On September 14, 2020, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed in part the lower court’s judgment, finding that the lower court should have dismissed the Company’s (and other parties’) challenges to the OSA for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Together with the other plaintiffs, the Company filed a petition for rehearing en banc to challenge the panel's decision, which was denied on December 18, 2020. On February 12, 2021, the Second Circuit granted the parties' request to stay the mandate. The parties filed a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court on May 17, 2021. The Supreme Court denied the petition on October 4, 2021. On October 21, 2021, the District Court vacated its December 19, 2018 order, except for its invalidation of the "pass through prohibition" on the basis it violates the Commerce Clause. The invalidation of that provision remains in effect and the State of New York is permanently enjoined from enforcing it. In April 2019, the State of New York passed its 2020 budget, which amended the OSA so that if the OSA decision is reversed on appeal, the OSA would apply only to the sale or distribution of certain opioids in New York for 2017 and 2018 and, effective July 1, 2019, imposed an excise tax on certain opioids.

Acthar Gel-Related Matters
Medicaid Lawsuit. In May 2019, CMS issued a final decision directing the Company to revert to the original base date AMPaverage manufacturers price ("AMP") used to calculate Medicaid drug rebates for Acthar Gel despite CMS having given the previous owner of the product, Questcor, written authorization in 2012 to reset the base date AMP.

In June 2020, while its appeal remained pending, the Company was required to revert to the original base date AMP for Acthar in the government’sgovernment's price reporting system.
As a result of this contingency, the Company incurred a retrospective one-time charge of $641.1 million (the "Acthar Gel Medicaid Retrospective Rebate"), of which $536.0 million and $105.1 million was reflected as a component of net sales and operating expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2020. The $105.1 million reflected as a component of operating expenses represented a pre-acquisition contingency related to the portion of the Acthar Gel Medicaid Retrospective Rebate that arose from sales of Acthar Gel prior to the Company’s acquisition of Questcor in August 2014. As of September 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020, $634.1 million and $638.9 million related to the Medicaid lawsuit was recorded within LSTC, respectively.
The D.C. Circuit heard argument on the merits of the Company's appeal in September 2020, prior to the Company's filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on October 12, 2020. At the joint request of the parties, the D.C. Circuit has agreed to hold the case in abeyance pending completion of the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, which was conditioned upon the Company entering the Chapter 11 restructuring process. Pursuant to the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement,Plan and the Company has agreedScheme of Arrangement, on the Effective Date, certain claims of the DOJ and related governmental parties relating to pay $260.0 million over seven years and to reset Acthar Gel’s Medicaid rebate calculation as of July 1, 2020, such that state Medicaid programs will receive 100% rebates on Acthar Gel Medicaid sales, based on current Acthar Gel pricing.

13.14.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1— observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2— significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
29


Level 3— significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The following tables provide a summary of the significant assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each period:

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments not measured at fair value as of September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) and December 25, 2020:31, 2021 (Predecessor):
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the majority of other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents (level 1). The fair value of restricted cash was equivalent to its carrying value of $59.6$104.0 million and $56.4$60.2 million as of September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) and December 25, 202031, 2021 (Predecessor) (level 1), respectively. AsIncluded within the balance as of September 24, 2021, $23.330, 2022 (Successor) was $43.5 million and $36.3 millionrelated to the funding of the restricted cash balance was included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 25, 2020, $20.2 million and $36.2 million of the restricted cash balance was included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.a professional fee escrow account upon emergence from Chapter 11. Refer to Note 3 for further information.
The Company's life insurance contracts are carried at cash surrender value, which is based on the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts (level 3). Significant assumptions used in determining the cash surrender value include the amount and timing of future cash flows, interest rates and mortality charges. The fair value of these contracts approximates the carrying value of $51.0$48.1 million and $52.3$51.3 million as of September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) and December 25, 2020,31, 2021 (Predecessor), respectively. These contracts are included in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit facility approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of this instrument, and is therefore classified as level 1. Successor debt. The Company's 4.875%, 5.75%, 4.75%, 5.625%, 5.50%Existing 1L Notes, New 2L Notes, New 1L Notes and 10.00% first and second lien senior notesTakeback 2L Notes are classified as level 1, as quoted prices are available in an active market for these notes. Since the quoted market prices for the Company's term loans and 9.50% and 8.00% debentures are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2 for purposes of developing an estimate of fair value.
Predecessor debt. The carrying value of the Company's former revolving credit facility approximated the fair value due to the short-term nature of this instrument, and was therefore classified as level 1. The Company's former 5.75%, 4.75%, 5.625%, 5.50% senior notes and 10.00% first and second lien senior secured notes were classified as level 1, as quoted prices were available in an active market for these notes. Since the quoted market prices for the Company's former term loans and former 9.50% and 8.00% debentures were not available in an active market, they were classified as level 2 for purposes of developing an estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral from customers. A portion of the Company's accounts receivable outside the U.S. includes sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries' national economies.

Significant Events
Terlivaz®
On June 9, 2022, we resubmitted our new drug application for Terlivaz to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). On September 14, 2022, we announced that the FDA had approved Terlivaz for injection and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we released our first commercial shipment of the product. The FDA approval gave rise to a $17.5 million milestone payable, which remained unpaid as of September 30, 2022 (Successor). A corresponding intangible asset was recorded as of September 30, 2022 (Successor), which will be amortized over the useful life of the related asset beginning with the first commercial shipment of the product during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

StrataGraft®
During the three months ended April 1, 2022 (Predecessor), we released our first commercial shipment of StrataGraft. Net sales of this product are anticipated to be uneven as a result of contracting with hospitals and the government procurement schedule associated with sales to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for placement in the Strategic National Stockpile.
On June 30, 2022, we completed the sale of our PRV for $100.0 million. We were awarded the Priority Review Voucher ("PRV") under a FDA program intended to encourage the development of certain product applications for therapies used to treat or prevent material threat medical countermeasures. We received the PRV upon FDA approval of StrataGraft for the treatment of adults with thermal burns containing intact dermal elements for which surgical intervention is clinically indicated (deep partial-thickness burns). We received from the buyer $65.0 million and the buyer remitted $35.0 million to the General Unsecured Claims Trustee pursuant to the terms of (i) the fourth amended plan of reorganization (with technical modifications (the "Plan"), and (ii) the General Unsecured Claims Trust Agreement entered into in connection with the Plan.

INOmax®
On September 28, 2022, we submitted a 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA for an investigational inhaled nitric oxide delivery system for INOmax (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation, which has been previously approved by the FDA for treating hypoxic respiratory failure in newborns. The safety and efficacy of the inhaled nitric oxide delivery system has not been evaluated by the FDA and is subject to a pending 510(k) application. Consistent with its review process, the FDA has asked us to provide summary tables of certain submitted data, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022. The delivery system combines automation, integration and interaction into one device, and if the 510(k) application is cleared, would be the latest in a long line of dual channel delivery systems implemented with the objective of building on our dedication to meeting clinicians' evolving needs.

Emergence from Voluntary Petitions for Reorganization
On October 12, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), we voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On March 2, 2022, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the Plan. Subsequent to modify our capital structure, including restructuring portionsthe filing of our debt, and resolve otherwise unmanageable potential legal liabilities.

For further information,details of the Plan, refer to Note 2 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Financing
In connection with emergence, we issued $650.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new first lien senior secured notes. The net proceeds of the issuance of such notes were applied to repay in part our former senior secured revolving credit facility. We also entered into a $200.0 million accounts receivable financing facility, which remains undrawn as of September 30, 2022 (Successor).

Fresh-Start Accounting
We adopted fresh-start accounting as of the Effective Date. As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting, our financial statements for periods prior to the Effective Date are not comparable to those for periods subsequent to the Effective Date. References in this report to "Successor" refer to the results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" refer to the results of operations of the Company on or prior to the Effective Date. Operating results for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. References such as the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Mallinckrodt and its consolidated subsidiaries, whether Predecessor and/or Successor, as appropriate.
Our results of operations as reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Successor and Predecessor periods are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The presentation of the combined financial information of the Predecessor and Successor for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is not in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that for purposes of discussion and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the combined financial information is useful for management and investors to assess our ongoing financial and operational performance and trends.
For further information, refer to Note 3 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reorganization items, net
ReorganizationDuring the period January 1, 2022 through June 16, 2022 (Predecessor), we incurred expenses of $630.9 million from reorganization items, net. These expenses were primarily driven by the loss on application of fresh-start accounting of $1,354.6 million and professional and lender fees, partially offset by a $943.7 million gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC") in accordance with the Plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and the period from June 17, 2022 through September 30, 2022 (Successor) and the three and nine months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor), we incurred expenses of $14.2 million, $17.7 million, $126.2 million and $329.2 million from reorganization items, net, respectively. The Successor expenses represent amounts incurred after the PetitionEffective Date as a direct resultthat directly resulted from Chapter 11 and were entirely comprised of professional fees associated with the implementation of the Chapter 11 CasesPlan. The amounts incurred in the three and are comprised of bankruptcy-relatednine months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) were primarily professional fees and adjustments to reflect the carrying value of liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC")LSTC at their estimated allowed claim amounts, as such adjustments are approved by the Bankruptcy Court. During the three and nine months ended September 24, 2021, we incurred $126.2 million and $329.2 million of reorganization items, net, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2020, we incurred $13.4 million and $53.1 million in opioid defense costs, respectively, and $33.0 million and $75.0 million in separation costs, respectively, which were both included within selling general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. As of the Petition Date, the majority of these costs are being classified on a go-forward basis as reorganization items, net, as they directly relate to the Chapter 11 proceedings.

StrataGraft®
On June 15, 2021, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had approved the StrataGraft biologics license application ("BLA") for the treatment of adults with deep partial-thickness burns and we expect commercial launch to commence during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Terlipressin
During September 2020, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") regarding our New Drug Application ("NDA") seeking approval for the investigational agent terlipressin to treat adults with hepatorenal syndrome type 1 ("HRS-1"). The CRL stated that, based on the available data, the agency cannot approve the terlipressin NDA in its current form and requires more information to support a positive risk-benefit profile for terlipressin for patients with HRS-1.
In response to receipt of the CRL, we had an End of Review Meeting on October 26, 2020 and a Type A Meeting on January 29, 2021 with the FDA where both parties engaged in constructive dialogue in an effort to clarify a viable path to U.S. approval. On August 18, 2021, we resubmitted our NDA for terlipressin to the FDA. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date for this development product is February 18, 2022. We will continue to assess the impact of any changes to planned revenue or earnings on the fair value of the associated in-process research and development ("IPR&D") asset of $81.0 million included within intangible assets, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 24, 2021 and December 25, 2020.

MNK-6105 and MNK-6106
During the three months ended March 26, 2021, the Company recognized a full impairment on its Specialty Brands IPR&D asset related to MNK-6105 and MNK-6106 of $64.5 million. The Company has decided it will no longer pursue further development of this asset.amounts.

Business Factors Influencing the Results of Operations
COVID-19 Business Update
The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world. As we navigate the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain committed to supporting our employees, customers, patients and the broader communities in which we operate.
Since the onsetWe cannot adequately benchmark certain operating results of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to manufacture, supplythree and deliver our products largely without interruption. At present, we do not anticipate significant COVID-19-related manufacturing or supply chain disruptions,nine months ended September 30, 2022 against the three and we continue to evaluate our end-to-end supply chain and assess opportunities to refine our processes going forward.
We expect the coming months to continue to be challenging due to the impact of COVID-19. Our business performance was significantly impacted by COVID-19 during fiscal 2020 and the nine months ended September 24, 2021. The ultimate business impact going forward will largely2021 as the comparison would include the three months ended September 30, 2022 Successor Period and the nine months September 30, 2022 combined Successor and Predecessor periods against the three and nine months ended September 24, 2021 prior year Predecessor periods, which would be determined byconsidered to not be in accordance with GAAP. We do not believe that reviewing the ongoing return to work guidance issued by international, national, and local governments and health officials and organizations. We are monitoring the demand forresults of these Successor periods in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our products, including the duration and degree to which we may see declines in customer orders or delays in starting new patients on a product,overall operating performance. Management believes that our key performance metrics such as Acthar Gel, due to the limited ability of ournet sales representatives to meet with physicians and patients to visit their doctors and pharmacists to receive prescriptions for certain of our products. In regards to Acthar Gel, we continue to see a reduction in new patients, which may continue to impact results in fiscal 2021. Furthermore, while we are supporting the continuation of ongoing patients in our clinical trials, as much as possible, we expect that COVID-19 precautions may directly or indirectly impact the timeline for some of our clinical trials.

Given the rapid and evolving nature of the COVID-19 virus, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business,segment results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. For additional information on the various risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, please read Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors included within our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2020.

Specialty Brands
Net sales of Ofirmev® Successor Period for the three months ended September 24, 2021 decreased $84.0 million, or 94.7%,30, 2022, and when combined with the current Predecessor year-to-date periods for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, provide more meaningful comparisons to $4.7 million driven primarily byprior Predecessor periods and are more useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, in certain circumstances the entrancediscussion in "Results of generic competition during fiscal 2021.Operations" and "Segment Results" below utilizes the combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Specialty Brands
Net sales of Acthar Gel for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) were $125.7 million and $143.4 million, respectively. Net sales decreased $51.9$17.7 million, or 26.6%12.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor), compared to $143.4 millionthe three months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor), driven primarily by the marketplace impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued payer scrutiny on overall specialty pharmaceutical spending. We anticipate that competition for the Acthar Gel product will likely intensify in relation to our Acthar Gel product following ANI Pharmaceuticals Inc’s. (“ANI”) expected commercialthe launch of their purified cortrophin gel producta competitive alternative form of treatment during the first quarter of 2022, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. ANI’s purified cortrophin gel product was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain chronic autoimmune disorders, including acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, in addition to excess urinary protein due to nephrotic syndrome. We continue our efforts to extend the value of the Acthar Gel product through product enhancements including the ongoing development of the Acthar Gel self-injection device, which will create an easier and more patient-friendly application for single unit dosage indications, as well as through additional studies.
Net sales of INOmax®for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) were $80.7 million and $98.4 million, respectively.

We further intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to our nitric oxide products against any additional parties that may seek to market a generican alternative version of our INOmax product and/or next generation delivery systems.
Net sales of Amitiza® for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) were $37.1 million and $49.6 million, respectively. Net sales decreased $12.5 million, or 25.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor), compared to the three months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor), driven primarily by a decline in royalties associated with loss of exclusivity in the U.S. Additional generic competitors are expected to enter in 2023.

Specialty Generics
Net sales from the Specialty Generics segment decreased $11.9for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 (Predecessor) were $161.9 million and $147.5 million.

Results of Operations
This report contains certain financial measures, including net sales, gross profit, gross profit margin, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales and research and development ("R&D") expenses as a percentage of net sales, which exclude the one-time charge related to the Medicaid lawsuit that is included as a component of net sales for the three and nine months endedThree Months Ended September 25, 2020.
We have provided these measures because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance. In addition, we believe that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt's operating results. Management believes that presenting these measures provides useful information about our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance30, 2022 (Successor) Compared with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").
Because these measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease our reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and this report in its entirety. A reconciliation of certain of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein.

These increases were primarily driven by $6.9 million of separation costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) related to severance of Predecessor executives, compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended September 24, 2021 (Predecessor), coupled with $5.8 million of bad debt expense attributable to a customer bankruptcy during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor). These increases were predominately offset by cost containment initiatives.

Research and development expenses. Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 25, 2020,24, 2021 (Predecessor) were $28.3 million and $47.3 million, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 6.1% and 9.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 (Predecessor), respectively. These decreases were primarily driven by the bankruptcy-related professional fees being classified as reorganization items, net, subsequent to the Petition Date. Comparatively, during the three months ended September 25, 2020, we incurred $13.4 million and $33.0 million in opioid defense costs and separation costs, respectively, that were reflected in SG&A. These decreases were also driven by cost containment initiatives and lower employee compensation costs, coupled with a $2.1 million decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities during three months ended September 24, 2021, compared to a $8.1 million increase during the three months ended September 25, 2020.

Restructuring charges, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Successor) and September 24, 2021 and September 25, 2020,(Predecessor), we incurred $11.0$2.2 million and $3.2$11.0 million of restructuring charges, net, respectively, primarily related to employee severance and benefits.
Gains on divestiture. During the three months ended September 25, 2020, we incurred a gain of $9.7 million primarily driven by a gain of $10.0 million related to the achievement of a milestone related to the sale of a portion of our Hemostasis business in fiscal 2018 to Baxter International, Inc. ("Baxter").
Opioid-related litigation settlement. During the three months ended September 24, 2021, we recorded a charge of $125.0 million as a result of an additional payment expected to be made on the eighth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended Proposed Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement, in accordance with the agreement in principle reached on September 2, 2021. For further information, refer to Note 2 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The $12.7 million net increase in the tax benefit included an increase of $202.7$55.9 million attributed to a valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets, an increasethe jurisdictional mix of $56.2pretax earnings, $15.1 million attributed to changes in the timing, amountuncertain tax positions and jurisdictional mix of income, an increase of $25.7 million predominately attributed to the fiscal 2020 reorganization of our intercompany financing and associated legal entity ownership, an increase of $10.8$11.0 million attributed to separation costs, reorganization items, net, and restructuring charges, net and an increase of $2.8 million attributed to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a decrease of $285.5$0.1 million attributed to the CARES Act.
As a result of the Plan, we recognized CODI on our indebtedness, resulting in the utilization of, and reduction to, certain of our tax losses and tax credits in the U.S. and Luxembourg. The remainder of our U.S. tax losses and credits are expected to be significantly limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC. Additionally, we recognized a U.S. capital loss as a result of the Plan. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized in the next five years, to the extent it is not reduced by CODI or limited under IRC section 382 or 383. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding our ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The portion of deferred tax assets associated with the tax losses and credits that are limited under IRC Section 382 or 383, and that have a remote possibility of being utilized, have been written off.
The Plan's tax effect, and impacts on our tax losses and credits, is expected to be finalized when the U.S. Federal income tax return that is due in 2023 is completed.

Segment Results
Management measures and evaluates our operating segments based on segment net sales and operating income. Management excludes corporate expenses from segment operating income. In addition, certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment net sales and operating income because management and the chief operating decision maker evaluate the operating results of the segments excluding such items. These items include, but are not limited to, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, net restructuring charges, non-restructuring impairment charges and separation costs, R&D upfront payment, changes related to the Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement and the Acthar Gel Medicaid Retrospective Rebate (as defined within Note 12 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) incurred as a result of the Medicaid lawsuit.costs.

Liquidity and Capital ResourcesResources.
Significant factors driving our liquidity position include cash flows generated from operating activities, financing transactions, capital expenditures, cash paid in connection with legal settlements (refer to Note 2 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), acquisitions and licensing agreements and cash received as a result of our divestitures. We have historically generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations. Our ability to fund our capital needs is impacted by our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets.
On October 12, 2020,Pursuant to the Plan, we voluntarily initiatedwill make payments of $200.0 million and $16.5 million, inclusive of interest, related to our opioid and Acthar Gel-related settlements, respectively, upon the Chapter 11 Casesone-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Additionally, we expect to receive CARES Act tax refunds totaling $135.9 million, excluding related interest, within the next twelve months.
In September 2022, our Board of Directors authorized us to utilize certain cash to reduce our outstanding debt at a discount. As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by us, in the Bankruptcy Court to modifyopen market, in privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our capital structure, including restructuring portions of ourliquidity requirements and other factors. During the period June 17, 2022 through September 30, 2022 (Successor), we repurchased debt and resolve potential legal liabilities, including but not limited to those in connection with the Amended Proposed Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement and the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement. We intend to use the
47


Chapter 11 process to provide a fair, orderly, efficient and legally binding mechanism to implement a plan of reorganization, that provides for a financial restructuring designed to strengthen our balance sheet and reduce our total debt by approximately $1,300.0 million, improving our financial position and allowing us to continue driving our strategic priorities and investing in the business to develop and commercialize therapies to improve health outcomes.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The transactions contemplated by the plan of reorganization are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transactions described therein will be consummated. As a result, we have concluded that management’s plans at this stage do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Consequently, our future cash from operations and access to capital markets may not provide adequate resources to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures and strategic investments for the foreseeable future.
Under our credit agreement, we are required to prepay our term loans in an amount equalaggregated to a specified percentageprincipal amount of excess cash flow. After receiving Bankruptcy Court approval, we made a mandatory prepayment in an amount equal$8.2 million and $1.0 million related to $114.0 million during the nine months ended September 24, 2021.our 10.00% second lien senior secured notes due 2029 and 10.00% second lien senior secured notes due 2025, respectively.

As of September 24, 2021, our fixed-rate instruments have a weighted-average interest rate of 7.15% and pay interest at various dates throughout the fiscal year. As of September 24, 2021, we were fully drawn on our $900.0 million revolving credit facility.
In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized us to reduce our outstanding debt at our discretion. As conditions warrant, and subject to limitations under Chapter 11, we may repurchase debt securities issued by us, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on October 12, 2020 constituted an event of default under certain of our debt agreements. As of September 24, 2021, other than any defaults relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, we were in full compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements. Accordingly, all long-term debt was classified as current on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 24, 2021. However, any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the debt instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Thestatements due to a number of factors in addition to those discussed elsewhere herein, including the risk factors included within Part I, Item 1A.1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 202031, 2021 (Predecessor) and within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could causeand the factors discussed in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 7 in our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (Predecessor). There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Given these uncertainties, one should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our operations include activities inWe are a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10 of Regulations S-K and are not required to provide the U.S. and countries outside of the U.S. These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. We do not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which bear interest based on LIBOR plus margin. As of September 24, 2021, our outstanding debt included $1,776.5 million variable-rate debt on our senior secured term loans and $900.0 million outstanding borrowings on our senior secured revolving credit facility. Assuming a one percent increase in the applicable interest rates, in excess of applicable minimum floors, quarterly interest expense would increase by approximately $6.7 million.
The remaining outstanding debt as of September 24, 2021 is fixed-rate debt. Changes in market interest rates generally affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt, but do not impact earnings or cash flows.

Currency Risk
Certain net sales and costs of our international operations are denominated in the local currency of the respective countries. As such, profits from these subsidiaries may be impacted by fluctuations in the value of these local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
50


We also have significant intercompany financing arrangements that may result in gains and losses in our results of operations. In an effort to mitigate the impact of currency exchange rate effects we may hedge certain operational and intercompany transactions; however, our hedging strategies may not fully offset gains and losses recognized in our results of operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations is exposed to currency risk from intercompany financing arrangements, which primarily consist of intercompany debt and intercompany cash pooling, where the denominated currency of the transaction differs from the functional currency of one or more of our subsidiaries. We performed a sensitivity analysis for these arrangements as of September 24, 2021 that measured the potential unfavorable impact to income from continuing operations before income taxes from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse movement in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The aggregate potential unfavorable impact from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign exchange rates was $0.7 million aggregate potential as of September 24, 2021. This hypothetical loss does not reflect any hypothetical benefits that would be derived from hedging activities, including cash holdings in similar foreign currencies that we have historically utilized to mitigate our exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates.information otherwise required under this Item.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")CEO and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
60


Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterthree months ended September 24, 202130, 2022 (Successor) that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
See Note 1213 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for furthera description of the litigation, legal and administrative proceedings and claims as of September 24, 2021.30, 2022 (Successor), which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
ThereExcept for the risk factors included below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2020,31, 2021 (Predecessor), filed with the SEC on March 10, 2021.15, 2022.

We recently emerged from bankruptcy, which could adversely affect our business and relationships.
Our having filed for bankruptcy, notwithstanding our recent emergence from the resulting bankruptcy proceedings, could adversely affect our business and relationships with customers, vendors, contractors, employees or suppliers. Due to uncertainties, many risks exist, including the following:
the ability to attract, motivate, and/or retain key executives and employees may be adversely affected;
employees may be more easily attracted to other employment opportunities;
competitors may take business away from us, and our ability to retain customers may be negatively impacted; and
suppliers may not be willing to do business with us at all or on acceptable terms.
The occurrence of one or more of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and reputation and we cannot assure you that having been subject to bankruptcy proceedings will not adversely affect our operations in the future.

Our actual financial results after emergence from bankruptcy may not be comparable to our projections filed with the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise made public in the course of the Chapter 11 Cases.
In connection with the disclosure statement we filed with the Bankruptcy Court and the hearing to consider confirmation of our Plan (as well as in certain other filings), we prepared projected financial information for various reasons, including to demonstrate to the Bankruptcy Court the feasibility of the Plan and our ability to continue operations upon our emergence from Chapter 11. Those projections were prepared solely for the purposes stated therein and have not been, and will not be, updated on an ongoing basis and should not be relied upon by investors. At the time they were prepared, the projections reflected numerous assumptions concerning our anticipated future performance with respect to then prevailing and anticipated market and economic conditions that were and remain beyond our control and that may not materialize. Projections are inherently subject to substantial and numerous uncertainties and to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and the assumptions underlying the projections or valuation estimates may prove to be wrong in material respects. Actual results may vary significantly from those contemplated by the projections. As a result, investors should not rely on those projections.

Our historical financial statements will not be comparable to the information contained in our financial statements after the application of fresh-start accounting.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations, which on the Effective Date resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh-start reporting date. Fresh-start accounting requires that new fair values be established for our assets, liabilities, and equity as of the Effective Date. The Effective Date fair values of the Successor's assets and liabilities may differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheets of the Predecessor. In addition, as a result of the application of fresh-start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the financial statements for the period after June 16, 2022 will not be comparable with the financial statements prior to and including June 16, 2022. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date and may be different from historical trends. This
62


will make it difficult for shareholders to assess our performance in relation to prior periods. See Note 3 "Fresh-Start Accounting" to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for additional information.

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, our Board of Directors was changed and may implement changes in our business strategy that could affect the scope and results of our operations.
Our corporate business strategy is subject to continued development, evaluation and implementation by our management and Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Plan, the composition of our Board of Directors changed significantly following our emergence from bankruptcy. Our Board of Directors is now made up of nine directors, with a new non-executive Chairman of the Board, all of whom have not previously served on our Board of Directors. The new directors have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from those individuals who previously served on the Board of Directors of the Company prior to our emergence from bankruptcy and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine our future, including our strategic plans and priorities. The Board of Directors may determine, from time to time, to implement changes in our business strategy which may affect our operations and the future strategy and plans of the Company and differ materially from those of the past. There is, however, no guarantee that the strategic initiatives and plans, whether current or future, of the Board of Directors will be implemented in a timely manner or at all and, consequently, there is no guarantee that the operational and financial objectives of the Board of Directors will be achieved in a timely manner or at all.

The ability to attract and retain key personnel is critical to the success of our business and may be affected by our emergence from bankruptcy.
The success of our business depends on key personnel. The ability to attract and retain these key personnel may be affected by our emergence from bankruptcy, the uncertainties currently facing the business and changes we may make to the organizational structure to adjust to changing circumstances. Any potential delays in adopting our management incentive plan and other executive benefits and compensation may make it difficult to retain key personnel and we may need to enter into retention or other arrangements that could be costly to maintain. If executives, managers or other key personnel resign, retire or are terminated, or their service is otherwise interrupted, we may not be able to replace them in a timely manner and we could experience significant declines in productivity.

We have contractual and court-ordered compliance obligations that if violated could result in exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs and monetary, injunctive or other sanctions.
In March 2022, we entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG-HHS). The CIA has a five-year term and requires, among other things, enhancements to our compliance program, fulfillment of self-reporting, monitoring and training obligations, management certifications and resolutions from the Mallinckrodt board of directors. In addition, we are required to retain an independent review organization to conduct annual reviews of certain Company systems and transactions related to Specialty Brands government pricing and patient assistance activities. Complying with the CIA requires the expenditure of significant resources and management time. If we fail to comply with the terms of the CIA, we may be subject to significant monetary penalties and/or exclusion from participation in federal health care programs, including Medicare.
Additionally, a failure to meet the requirements or terms of an injunction entered by the Bankruptcy Court placing obligations on certain Mallinckrodt entities with respect to the operation of their opioid business (Operating Injunction) could lead to adverse action by the Bankruptcy Court, one or more State or Territory Attorneys General, or other enforcement authorities. Such actions may result in monetary, injunctive or other sanctions, as well as increased legal fees and costs associated with such actions. Such actions and associated violations may also increase the Company’s risk for future lawsuits or other actions by third parties related to the opioid business.

The United States could treat Mallinckrodt plc (parent corporation) as a U.S. taxpayer under IRC Section 7874.
Following the emergence from bankruptcy, Mallinckrodt plc continues to be an Irish tax resident. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") may, however, assert that Mallinckrodt plc should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to IRC Section 7874. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally considered to be tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Because Mallinckrodt plc is an Irish incorporated entity, it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation under these rules. IRC Section 7874 provides an exception to this general rule under which a foreign corporation may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the following requirements are met: (i) the foreign corporation completes the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including the indirect acquisition of assets of the U.S. corporation by acquiring the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (or 60% in
63


certain circumstances) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation, and (iii) the foreign corporation's "expanded affiliated group" does not have substantial business activities in the foreign corporation's country of organization or incorporation compared to the expanded affiliated group's worldwide activities. Although it is not free from doubt, we believe that after implementation of the plan of reorganization, Mallinckrodt plc should not be treated as acquiring directly or indirectly substantially all of the properties of a U.S. corporation and, as a result, Mallinckrodt plc is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation or otherwise subject to the adverse tax consequences of IRC Section 7874. The law and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under IRC Section 7874 are, however, unclear and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with this conclusion. If it is determined that IRC Section 7874 is applicable, Mallinckrodt plc would be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes which could result in additional adverse tax consequences. In addition, although Mallinckrodt plc would be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would also be considered an Irish tax resident for Irish tax and other non-U.S. tax purposes.

The IRS may interpret Section 382 limitation and CODI attribution rules differently.
In general, Section 382 of the IRC, provides an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses ("BILs"), against future taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. Emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings resulted in a change in ownership for purposes of Section 382. Any discharge of our external or internal debt obligations as a result of the Chapter 11 filing for an amount less than the adjusted issue price may give rise to CODI, which must either be included in our taxable income or result in a reduction to our tax attributes. U.S. tax attributes subject to reduction include: (i) NOLs and NOL carryforwards; (ii) credit carryforwards (iii) capital losses and capital loss carryforwards; and (iv) the tax basis of our depreciable, amortizable and other assets. The amount of our post ownership change annual U.S. taxable income that can be offset by the pre-ownership change U.S. NOLs and BILs generally cannot exceed an amount equal to the product of (a) the applicable federal long-term tax exempt rate in effect on the date of the ownership change and (b) the value of our U.S. affiliate stock immediately prior to implementation of the Plan (the "Annual Limitation"). The Annual Limitation may also be increased or decreased during the first five years post ownership change for certain realized built-in-gains or realized BILs, respectively. Our interpretation of the impact of the IRC's limitations on the utilization of tax attributes after the ownership change caused by the emergence from bankruptcy may differ from the IRS' interpretation. Any additional limitations on our ability to prospectively use these tax attributes may have an adverse effect on our prospective cash flow.

Although our ordinary shares recently began to trade on the NYSE American stock exchange, an active trading market may not develop and the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares may fluctuate significantly.
Our ordinary shares were previously delisted from the NYSE, and the subsequent cancellation of our ordinary shares and issuance of new ordinary shares in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy resulted in reduced liquidity for investors seeking to buy or sell our ordinary shares. Our ordinary shares were quoted on the OTC Pink Current Market after our emergence from bankruptcy. On October 27, 2022, our ordinary shares began to trade on the NYSE American stock exchange, and trading on the OTC Pink Current Market ceased concurrent with the NYSE American listing. To maintain listing on this market, we must meet certain listing requirements, including requirements for a minimum stockholders' equity, minimum market capitalization or total assets and revenue, minimum public float, minimum market value of public float, minimum number of round lot shareholders, and continued business operations. If our ordinary shares are delisted for any reason, it could reduce the value of our ordinary shares and liquidity.
We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active trading market or how liquid that market might become, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our ordinary shares, either now or in the future. If an active trading market does not develop, holders of our shares may have difficulty selling any of our ordinary shares that may now be owned or may be purchased later. In addition, the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our ordinary shares may be reduced, the trading price of our ordinary shares may be depressed, we may receive decreased news and analyst coverage and we may be limited in our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Even if an active trading market develops for our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of our ordinary shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Volatility in the market price or trading volume of our ordinary shares may prevent investors from being able to sell shares at or above the price they paid to acquire their ordinary shares, or at all.
