Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK), a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company, today reported results for the three months and fiscal year ended Dec. 28, 2018. The Specialty Generics Disposal Group, previously classified in discontinued operations, has been recast to continuing operations for all periods, with full recast financial statements filed on Form 8-K concurrent with this earnings announcement. The company now operates two reportable segments aligned to the previously announced separation -- the Specialty Brands segment and the Specialty Generics and Amitiza segment. Unless otherwise noted, the three months and fiscal year comparisons are to the prior year comparable period ended Dec. 29, 2017.

Net sales were $834.9 million in the fourth quarter, up 5.4%, or 5.6% on a constant-currency basis. GAAP diluted loss per share was $44.64, which includes non-cash impairment charges of $45.83 per share related to goodwill and an IPR&D(2) intangible asset, specifically MNK-1411. The goodwill impairment resulted from the company's annual impairment analysis, and reflects the continued disconnect between Mallinckrodt's anticipated future performance and present uncertainty reflected in its market valuation. After adjusting for specified items, fourth quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.18, an increase of 8.5%.

"Mallinckrodt continues to make significant progress in our ongoing transformation of the company, setting the stage for the creation of two public entities with the anticipated separation of Specialty Generics and Amitiza, which should create greater strategic focus for both companies, and has the ability to unlock and increase value over the long term," said Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mallinckrodt. "We are encouraged by the ongoing momentum in our Specialty Brands products, and look forward to continued growth in our hospital portfolio with longer term improvement for H.P. Acthar(®) Gel. Importantly, too, we are excited by our pipeline progression, and anticipate a number of significant data readouts for inline and pipeline products in 2019."

Trudeau continued, "We are very happy with how the business finished the year as seen in our results today. Our strong ongoing cash generation has positioned us ahead of schedule in our 2019 capital allocation priority of significantly reducing net debt. We are pleased to share 2019 guidance today, and look forward to continuing to execute on our 2019 strategic priorities."

                                      ---

Returning to fourth quarter results, GAAP gross profit was $363.3 million with gross profit as a percentage of net sales of 43.5%, compared with 53.1%. These results were impacted by increased amortization expense, catch-up depreciation related to the Specialty Generics Disposal Group previously classified as a discontinued operation and by product mix. Adjusted gross profit was $608.0 million, compared with $592.8 million. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 72.8% versus 74.8% driven by product mix.

GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the quarter were $239.6 million, or 28.7% of net sales, as compared to $174.6 million, or 22.0% of net sales. SG&A results were driven by significant legal and environmental charges, and charges associated with the Specialty Generics separation, offset by the change in fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $212.2 million, or 25.4% of net sales, compared with $212.2 million, or 26.8%.

Research and development expenses were $100.4 million or 12.0% of net sales in the fourth quarter, as compared to $86.4 million, or 10.9%, due to increased investment in inline data generation and pipeline products.

Income tax benefit was $226.2 million for an effective tax rate of 5.7%. Income tax benefit in the fourth quarter included a one-time tax benefit of $173.7 million related to continued legal entity reorganization, which the company expects will eliminate its interest-bearing deferred tax liabilities in the first quarter of 2019. For the fourth quarter, the adjusted effective tax rate was 15.0%.

Fiscal Year 2018 Results
Net sales were $3.216 billion with GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $43.12, impacted by the non-cash goodwill and IPR&D impairment charges of $45.69 per share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $8.01, compared with $7.49, or 6.9% growth.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Specialty Brands Segment
Fourth quarter net sales for the Specialty Brands segment were $586.5 million:

    --  H.P. Acthar(®) Gel (repository corticotropin injection) net sales were
        $283.0 million, a 4.1% decrease from $295.2 million, as the brand
        continues to recover from patient withdrawal issues from 2017 while
        navigating growing payer scrutiny on overall specialty pharmaceutical
        spending.
    --  INOMAX(®) (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation, generated net sales of
        $138.7 million, up 10.4%, or 10.5% on a constant-currency basis, over
        $125.6 million, due to continued consistent demand.
    --  OFIRMEV(®) (acetaminophen) injection net sales were $87.2 million
        compared with $78.0 million, an increase of 11.8%, benefiting from
        continued strong commercial execution and demand.
    --  Therakos(® )immunology platform net sales were $57.0 million compared
        with $57.2 million, a decrease of 0.3%, or an increase of 0.6% on a
        constant-currency basis; the results in the quarter were impacted by
        significant device sales in the prior year period due to the U.S. market
        conversion to the CELLEX(®) device.

Specialty Generics and Amitiza Segment
Net sales in the fourth quarter increased 23.8%, or 23.9% on a constant-currency basis, to $248.4 million, as compared with $200.6 million. The growth is attributed to the inclusion of AMITIZA(®) (lubiprostone) in early 2018, which contributed net sales of $64.6 million in the quarter. Excluding the AMITIZA product, the other Specialty Generics products' net sales declined to $183.8 million or 8.4% overall. Mallinckrodt expects these declines to moderate and the segment to return to growth in 2019.

LIQUIDITY
Mallinckrodt's cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $184.4 million, with free cash flow of $150.7 million. For the year, the company's cash provided by operating activities was $665.5 million, with free cash flow of $538.5 million.

Mallinckrodt made significant progress toward its commitment to reduce net debt by more than $1 billion following the planned separation, including free cash flow generation and separation proceeds. In the fourth quarter, the company paid $80.0 million on its revolving credit facility and purchased $48.8 million in face value of notes, recognizing a $6.2 million one-time gain, which is reflected as a non-GAAP adjustment. The company ended the quarter with net debt of $5.808 billion.

Further illustrating Mallinckrodt's debt reduction focus, the company made additional payments on its term loans of $205.6 million and purchased $75.0 million in face value of notes following the quarter close. The company's current cash balance is in excess of $200 million.

Given the announcement of the Specialty Generics and Amitiza separation, Mallinckrodt now includes the anticipated separation business within its continuing operations and will until such time that the separation occurs.

To learn more about Mallinckrodt, visit www.mallinckrodt.com.

Mallinckrodt uses its website as a channel of distribution of important company information, such as press releases, investor presentations and other financial information. It also uses its website to expedite public access to time-critical information regarding the company in advance of or in lieu of distributing a press release or a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing the same information. Therefore, investors should look to the Investor Relations page of the website for important and time-critical information. Visitors to the website can also register to receive automatic e-mail and other notifications alerting them when new information is made available on the Investor Relations page of the website.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, net sales growth on a constant-currency basis, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt and free cash flow, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A represent amounts prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. The adjustments for these items are on a pre-tax basis for adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A and on an after-tax basis for adjusted net income. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, amortization; restructuring and related charges, net; inventory step-up expenses; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; acquisition-related expenses; non-restructuring impairment charges; significant legal and environmental charges; pension settlement charges; losses/gains on divestiture; separation costs; tax effects of aforementioned adjustments as well as impacts from certain transactions, such as acquisitions or reorganizations; and other items identified by the company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share represent adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares.

The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as the income tax effects on continuing and discontinued operations plus the income tax impact included in Mallinckrodt's reconciliation of net income, divided by income from continuing and discontinued operations plus the pre-tax, non-income, tax-related adjustments included in its reconciliation of adjusted net income (excluding dilutive share impact). The income tax adjustment included in the reconciliation of adjusted net income primarily represents the tax impact of adjustments between net income and adjusted net income as well as tax impacts from certain transactions, such as acquisitions or reorganizations.

Net sales growth on a constant-currency basis measures the change in net sales between current- and prior-year periods using a constant currency, the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

Free cash flow for the fourth quarter represents net cash provided by operating activities of $184.4 million less capital expenditures of $33.7 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow for the fiscal year represents net cash provided by operating activities of $665.5 million less capital expenditures of $127.0 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net debt for the fourth quarter represents the total principal debt outstanding of $6,156.7 million less unrestricted cash of $348.9 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company has provided these adjusted financial measures because they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company's operating performance. In addition, the company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt's operating results. Management believes that presenting these adjusted measures provides useful information about the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. These adjusted measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company's definition of these adjusted measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

Because adjusted financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.

Guidance on the company's 2019 diluted earnings per share and effective tax rate has been provided only on a non-GAAP basis. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of items that would be included in the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Because reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, it is not included in this release.

Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found on the Investor Relations page of the company's website.

     (1) Includes pre-tax accelerated
              depreciation.





     
     (2) Includes goodwill impairment of
              $3,672.8 million and an IPR&D
              intangible asset impairment of
              $218.3 million related to MNK-
              1411.

              effect associated with the
              intercompany financing and
              associated legal entity ownership
              reorganization commenced during
              the three months ended September
              28, 2018 and the legal entity
              reorganization commenced during
              the three months ended September
              29, 2017. Of the total adjustment
              during the three months ended
              December 29, 2017, $8.9 million
              represents a one-time charge to
              interest expense related to the
              reduction in the Company's
              interest-bearing deferred tax
              liabilities.





     
     (4) Represents the incremental tax
              expense associated with the impact
              of the U.S. tax reform bill being
              signed into law. Of the total
              adjustment during the three months
              ended December 29, 2017, $0.5
              million represents a one-time
              reduction to interest expense
              related to the reduction in the
              Company's interest-bearing
              deferred tax liabilities.





     
     (5) Includes tax effects of above
              adjustments (unless otherwise
              separately stated), as well as
              certain installment sale
              transactions and other
              intercompany transactions.





     
     (6) During the three months ended
              December 28, 2018, the Specialty
              Generics Disposal Group was
              reclassified to held and used
              after being classified as held-
              for-sale since February 2018.  In
              accordance with accounting
              principles generally accepted in
              the U.S. ("GAAP"), depreciation
              and amortization are not recorded
              during the period in which a
              disposal group is classified as
              held-for-sale.  When the
              disposal group was reclassified to
              held and used, it was measured at
              its carrying amount before it was
              classified as held-for-sale,
              adjusted for depreciation and
              amortization expense that would
              have been recognized had the
              disposal group been continuously
              classified as held and used.  The
              effect of the required adjustment
              has been reflected in income from
              continuing operations during the
              fourth quarter of 2018, the period
              in which the held-for-sale
              criteria was no longer met.




             This adjustment represents $17.7
              million of depreciation expense,
              net of tax of $4.0 million,
              recorded during the three months
              ended December 28, 2018 that would
              have been recognized during the
              first three quarters of fiscal
              2018 had the Specialty Generics
              Disposal Group been continuously
              classified as held and used. This
              will not be reflected in the
              fiscal year ended December 28,
              2018 non-GAAP measures table as
              the catch-up in the three months
              ended December 28, 2018 results in
              an accurate depiction of total
              depreciation expense for fiscal
              2018. Consistent with historical
              periods, intangible asset
              amortization is a non-GAAP
              adjustment and is therefore not
              called out separately as a result
              in the change in classification of
              the disposal group.





     
     (7) In periods where losses from
              continuing operations are
              incurred, potential ordinary
              shares outstanding are excluded
              from the calculation of diluted
              earnings per share, prepared in
              accordance with GAAP, as they
              would be anti-dilutive. These
              dilutive shares are included in
              the calculation of adjusted
              diluted earnings per share if
              dilutive to adjusted net income.
              As a result, the adjusted diluted
              earnings per share utilized a
              weighted average share count of
              84.9 shares.

     (1) During the fourth quarter of 2018,
              the Specialty Generics Disposal
              Group was reclassified to held-
              and-used and measured at its
              carrying amount before it was
              classified as held-for-sale,
              adjusted for depreciation and
              amortization expense that would
              have been recognized had the
              disposal group been continuously
              classified as held and used.  The
              total depreciation adjustment of
              $17.7 million was reflected in the
              Specialty Generics and Amitiza
              segment operating income during the
              fourth quarter of 2018, the period
              in which the held-for-sale
              criteria were no longer met.
              Additionally includes $41.3 million
              of inventory fair-value step up
              expense, primarily related to
              Amitiza.





     
     (2) Includes administration expenses and
              certain compensation, environmental
              and other costs not charged to the
              Company's operating segments.





     
     (3) Includes restructuring-related
              accelerated depreciation.





     
     (4) Represents costs incurred related to
              the separation of the Company's
              Specialty Generics and Amitiza
              segment, which are included in
