Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Bausch Health acted quickly to implement guidelines, business continuity plans and workstreams that have enabled the Company to ensure the health and well-being of its employees while remaining focused on supporting customers and patients around the world.
-- Bausch Health management implemented actions to protect the health and
safety of its employees, including taking every precaution to ensure
that those employees who cannot work remotely, such as manufacturing
employees, are working in environments that are as safe as possible
-- In regions of the world where in-person sales efforts are not viable,
sales teams are supporting health care professionals virtually to
continue to meet the needs of customers and their patients
-- The Company has worked to maintain an uninterrupted availability of its
health care products by developing additional site-level biosecurity
procedures. Supply chain and manufacturing facilities are operational,
and to date, Bausch Health has not had any material COVID-19 related
supply disruptions
-- Bausch Health's R&D organization quickly worked with health authorities
and investigators to protect trial participants and personnel involved
in its R&D programs. Clinical trials that started prior to governmental
shutdowns remain enrolled and existing patients are progressing, while
new patient enrollments in clinical trials have been temporarily paused
due to most trial sites not being able to accept new patients
Bausch Health also sought several opportunities to support the institutions, patients and health care providers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
-- The Company is pursuing research to determine if its products may offer
valuable treatment options, including:
-- Initiating a clinical trial program in Canada evaluating an
investigational use of nebulized antiviral VIRAZOLE® (Ribavirin for
Inhalation Solution, USP) in combination with standard of care
therapy to treat hospitalized adult patients with respiratory
distress due to COVID-19
-- Working toward investigative trials in the United States to evaluate
XIFAXAN® in combination therapy to potentially address the symptoms

with COVID-19 infection. If the trials demonstrate XIFAXAN® is
successful in resolving these symptoms or reducing the duration of
COVID-19, the Bausch Foundation will donate XIFAXAN® to various
hospitals
-- Ramped up manufacturing of chloroquine and azithromycin and donated
these products to local hospitals in Italy and Spain
-- Along with the Bausch Foundation, Bausch Health has provided needed
medical supplies, including:
-- Making available for donation nebulized VIRAZOLE® for compassionate
use in Italian hospitals
-- Donating ARTELAC® Splash(TM) eye drops to local hospitals in Spain
to reduce eye irritation and risk of eye infection by alleviating
possible symptoms of dry eye among health care providers while
wearing protective gear

First-Quarter 2020 Revenue Performance
Total reported revenues were $2.012 billion for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $2.016 billion in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $4 million. Revenue was negatively impacted by approximately $35 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $18 million, the impact of a 2019 acquisition of $13 million and the impact of divestitures and discontinuations of $7 million, revenue was flat organically(1,)(2) compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Revenues by segment were as follows:

Total Revenues $2,012 $2,016 ($4) 0% 1% 0%
Bausch + Lomb/International Segment
Bausch + Lomb/International segment revenues were $1.114 billion for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $1.118 billion for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $4 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $17 million and the impact of divestitures and discontinuations of $7 million, the Bausch + Lomb/International segment grew organically(1,)(2) by approximately 2% compared to the first quarter of 2019 due to growth in the Global Consumer and International Rx business units.
Salix Segment
Salix segment revenues were $477 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $445 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $32 million, or 7%. Adjusting for the impact of a 2019 acquisition of $13 million on revenues, the segment grew organically(1,)(2) by approximately 4% compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily driven by XIFAXAN®, which grew 23% compared to the first quarter of 2019, and was partially offset by the loss of exclusivity of products in the segment, primarily APRISO® (mesalamine), which negatively impacted revenues by $40 million.
Ortho Dermatologics Segment
Ortho Dermatologics segment revenues were $133 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $138 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $5 million, or 4%. The decline was due to lower volumes primarily driven by the loss of exclusivity of products in the segment, primarily SOLODYN® (minocycline HCl), ZOVIRAX® (acyclovir) Cream, 5%, and ELIDEL® (pimecrolimus) Cream, 1%, which negatively impacted revenues by $15 million, and was partially offset by higher revenues in the Global Solta business unit.
Diversified Products Segment
Diversified Products segment revenues were $288 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $315 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $27 million, or 9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the previously reported loss of exclusivity for a basket of products.
Operating Results
Operating income was $248 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to operating income of $287 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $39 million. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), acquisition-related contingent consideration and charges for litigation and other matters included in other expense (income), net partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets.
Net Loss
Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $152 million, as compared to net loss of $52 million for the same period in 2019, an unfavorable change of $100 million. The change was primarily driven by decreases in the benefit from income taxes and by income from operations, as discussed above.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)(1) for the first quarter of 2020 was $316 million, as compared to $358 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $42 million, or 12%.
Cash Generated from Operations
The Company generated $261 million of cash from operations in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $413 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $152 million, or 37%. The decrease in cash from operations was primarily attributed to an increase in working capital(4), timing of interest payments and a licensing agreement.
EPS
GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS) Diluted for the first quarter of 2020 was ($0.43), as compared to ($0.15) for the first quarter of 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)(1
)Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)(1) was $813 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $851 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $38 million, or 4%. The decrease was primarily due to increased SG&A expenses and loss of exclusivity for certain products, coupled with the unfavorable impact of transactional foreign exchange.
2020 Financial Outlook
Bausch Health lowered its revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) guidance ranges for the full year of 2020, primarily due to the actual and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic:
-- Lowered full-year revenue range from $8.65 - $8.85 billion to $7.80 -
$8.20 billion
-- Lowered full-year Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) range from $3.50 - $3.65
billion to $3.15 - $3.35 billion
Other than with respect to GAAP Revenues, the Company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. In periods where significant acquisitions or divestitures are not expected, the Company believes it might have a basis for forecasting the GAAP equivalent for certain costs, such as amortization, which would otherwise be treated as non-GAAP to calculate projected GAAP net income (loss). However, because other deductions (such as restructuring, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and litigation and other matters) used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The full-year guidance ranges have been lowered primarily due to the actual and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These impacts have affected the Company's assumptions regarding base performance and growth rates and have also resulted in lower expectations regarding cash generated from operations and the amount of cash that is available for use in the reduction of debt and for bolt-on acquisitions for the current year. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts also triggered the Company's reduction of the ranges for its targeted three-year compound annual growth rate of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), which have been reduced from 4%-6% to 3%-5% with respect to revenue growth and from 5%-8% to 4%-7% for Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) growth. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-looking Statements section of this news release.

Forward-looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking information and statements, within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including, but not limited to, Bausch Health's future prospects and performance, including the Company's 2020 full-year guidance. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "should," "could," "would," "may," "believes," "estimates," "potential," "target," or "continue" and variations or similar expressions, and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, should or will be achieved, received or taken, or will occur or result, and similar such expressions also identify forward-looking information. These forward-looking statements, including the Company's full-year guidance, are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management and are provided for the purpose of providing additional information about such expectations and beliefs, and readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company's most recent annual and quarterly reports and detailed from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators, which risks and uncertainties are incorporated herein by reference. They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties caused by or relating to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, and the fear of that pandemic and its potential effects, the severity, duration and future impact of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and which may have a material adverse impact on the Company, including but not limited to its supply chain, third-party suppliers, project development timelines, employee base, liquidity, stock price, financial condition and costs (which may increase) and revenue and margins (both of which may decrease). In addition, certain material factors and assumptions have been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: assumptions regarding our 2020 full-year guidance with respect to expectations regarding base performance and management's belief regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated responses on such base performance and the operations and financial results of the Company generally, expected currency impact, the expected timing and impact of loss of exclusivity for certain of our products, expectations regarding gross margin, adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) and the Company's ability to continue to manage such expense in the manner anticipated and the anticipated timing and extent of the Company's R&D expense; assumptions respecting our targeted three-year CAGR of revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) growth, including, without limitation, management's belief regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated responses to the operations and financial results of the Company, constant currency and from mid-point of February 2019 guidance (adjusted for current exchange rates); and the assumption that the risks and uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. Management has also made certain assumptions in assessing the anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its results of operations and financial conditions, including: a potential resurgence of the virus in the second half of 2020 would not see severe social restrictions put in place by local authorities (e.g., shelter at home, closure of non-essential businesses, deferral of elective medical procedures, etc.); global economies will recover as COVID-19 runs its course and social restrictions are eased; largest impact to the Company's businesses seen in the second quarter of 2020 due to stay-at-home orders, office closures, retail closures and deferral of surgical procedures; recovery expected to begin towards the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and continue into the third and fourth quarters of 2020; expect the Company's businesses to return to pre-COVID-19 levels at different rates, starting as early as the third quarter of 2020 but spread into the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond (e.g. expectation that the backlog of eye surgeries will not be resolved in 2020); some of the Company's business units (Global Surgical, Ortho Dermatologics and Dentistry) are expected to lag in the recovery, some possibly beyond 2021; and assumes no major interruptions in the Company's supply chain and distribution channels. If any of these assumptions regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.
Additional information regarding certain of these material factors and assumptions may also be found in the Company's filings described above. The Company believes that the material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable in the circumstances, but readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Bausch Health undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law.
Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including (i) Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), (ii) organic growth/change and (iii) constant currency. As discussed below, we also provide Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) to provide supplemental information to readers. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as key metrics in the evaluation of the Company's performance and the consolidated financial results and, in part, in the determination of cash bonuses for its executive officers. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the Company. In addition, these non-GAAP measures address questions the Company routinely receives from analysts and investors, and in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors.
However, these measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The reconciliations of these historic non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below. However, as indicated above, for guidance purposes, the Company does not provide reconciliations of projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to projected GAAP net loss, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
Specific Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is GAAP net loss attributable to Bausch Health Companies Inc. (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items described below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), along with the GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the Company measures the business internally and sets operational goals and incentives. In particular, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) focuses management on the Company's underlying operational results and business performance. As a result, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) both to assess the actual financial performance of the Company and to forecast future results as part of its guidance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a useful measure to evaluate current performance. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors. In addition, cash bonuses for the Company's executive officers and other key employees are based, in part, on the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) targets.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is net loss attributable to the Company (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization and the following items:
-- Restructuring and integration costs: The Company has incurred
restructuring costs as it implemented certain strategies, which
involved, among other things, improvements to its infrastructure and
operations, internal reorganizations and impacts from the divestiture of
assets and businesses. In addition, in connection with its acquisition
of certain assets of Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Synergy"), the
Company has incurred certain severance and integration costs. With
regard to infrastructure and operational improvements which the Company
has taken to improve efficiencies in the businesses and facilities,
these tend to be costs intended to right size the business or
organization that fluctuate significantly between periods in amount,
size and timing, depending on the improvement project, reorganization or
transaction. With regard to the severance and integration costs
associated with the acquisition of certain assets of Synergy, these
costs are specific to the acquisition itself and provided no benefit to
the ongoing operations of the Company. As a result, the Company does not
believe that such costs (and their impact) are truly representative of
its underlying business. The Company believes that the adjustments of
these items provide supplemental information with regard to the
sustainability of the Company's operating performance, allow for a
comparison of the financial results to historical operations and
forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental
information to investors.
-- Asset impairments: The Company has excluded the impact of impairments of
finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets, as well as
impairments of assets held for sale, as such amounts are inconsistent in
amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or
size of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company believes that the
adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the
Company's operating performance. Although the Company excludes
impairments of intangible assets from measuring the performance of the
Company and the business, the Company believes that it is important for
investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue
generation.
-- Goodwill impairments: The Company excludes the impact of goodwill
impairments. When the Company has made acquisitions where the
consideration paid was in excess of the fair value of the net assets
acquired, the remaining purchase price is recorded as goodwill. For
assets that we developed ourselves, no goodwill is recorded. Goodwill is
not amortized but is tested for impairment. In January 2017, new
accounting guidance was issued which simplifies the subsequent
measurement of an impairment to goodwill. Under the new guidance, which
the Company early adopted effective Jan. 1, 2018, the amount of goodwill
impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying
value over its fair value. Management excludes these charges in
measuring the performance of the Company and the business.
-- Share-based compensation: The Company has excluded recorded costs
relating to share-based compensation. The Company believes that the
exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists investors in the
comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Share-based
compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size
and nature of awards granted.
-- Acquisition-related costs and adjustments excluding amortization of
intangible assets: The Company has excluded the impact of
acquisition-related costs and fair value inventory step-up resulting
from acquisitions as the amounts and frequency of such costs and
adjustments are not consistent and are impacted by the timing and size
of its acquisitions. In addition, the Company has excluded the impact of
acquisition-related contingent consideration non-cash adjustments due to
the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts
based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates,
and the amount and frequency of such adjustments is not consistent and
is significantly impacted by the timing and size of the Company's
acquisitions, as well as the nature of the agreed-upon consideration.
-- Loss on extinguishment of debt: The Company has excluded loss on
extinguishment of debt as this represents a cost of refinancing our
existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period.
Further, the amount and frequency of such charges are not consistent and
are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing
transactions and other factors in the debt market out of management's
control.
-- Other Non-GAAP charges: The Company has excluded certain other amounts,
including legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with
recent legal and governmental proceedings, investigations and
information requests regarding certain of our legacy distribution,
marketing, pricing, disclosure and accounting practices, litigation and
other matters, and net gain on sales of assets. The Company has also
excluded expenses associated with in-process research and development,
as these amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are
significantly impacted by the timing, size and nature of acquisitions.
Furthermore, as these amounts are associated with research and
development acquired, the Company does not believe that they are a
representation of the Company's research and development efforts during
any given period. The Company has also excluded IT infrastructure
investment, that are the result of other, non-comparable events to
measure operating performance. These events arise outside of the
ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the
matters relating to these costs, the Company believes these items are
not normal operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and
judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and,
due to this volatility, the Company believes the costs associated with
legal settlements and judgments are not normal operating expenses. In
addition, as opposed to more ordinary course matters, the Company
considers that each of the recent proceedings, investigations and
information requests, given their nature and frequency, are outside of
the ordinary course and relate to unique circumstances. The Company
believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts
provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the
financial results of the Company from period to period and, therefore,
provides useful supplemental information to investors. However,
investors should understand that many of these costs could recur and
that companies in our industry often face litigation.
Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP)
Historically, management has used Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for which is GAAP Net loss) for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. This non-GAAP measure excludes the impact of certain items (as described below) that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the Company's operating results and trends for the periods presented. It is management's belief that this measure is also useful to investors as such measure allowed investors to evaluate the Company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Accordingly, it is the Company's belief that adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance and the valuation of the Company. It is also noted that, in recent periods, our GAAP net income (loss) was significantly lower than our adjusted net income (non-GAAP). Commencing in 2017, management of the Company identified and began using certain new primary financial performance measures to assess the Company's financial performance. However, management still believes that Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) may be useful to investors in their assessment of the Company and its performance.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is net loss attributable to Bausch Health Companies Inc. (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for restructuring and integration costs, acquired in-process research and development costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, acquisition-related adjustments, excluding amortization and other non-GAAP charges as these adjustments are described above, and amortization of intangible assets as described below:
-- Amortization of intangible assets: The Company has excluded the impact
of amortization of intangible assets, as such amounts are inconsistent
in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing
and/or size of acquisitions. The Company believes that the adjustments
of these items correlate with the sustainability of the Company's
operating performance. Although the Company excludes amortization of
intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, the Company believes that
it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets
contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that
relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such
intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may
result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
Organic Growth/Change
Organic growth/change, a non-GAAP metric, is defined as a change on a period-over-period basis in revenues on a constant currency basis (if applicable) excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations (if applicable). Organic growth/change is change in GAAP Revenue (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for certain items, as further described below, of businesses that have been owned for one or more years. Organic revenue growth/change is impacted by changes in product volumes and price. The price component is made up of two key drivers: (i) changes in product gross selling price and (ii) changes in sales deductions. The Company uses organic growth/change to assess performance of its business units and operating and reportable segments, and the Company in total, without the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations and recent acquisitions, divestitures and product discontinuations. The Company believes that such measures are useful to investors as they provide a supplemental period-to-period comparison.
Organic growth/change reflects adjustments for: (i) the impact of period-over-period changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues and (ii) the revenues associated with acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations of businesses divested and/or discontinued. These adjustments are determined as follows:
-- Foreign currency exchange rates: Although changes in foreign currency
exchange rates are part of our business, they are not within
management's control. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
however, can mask positive or negative trends in the business. The
impact for changes in foreign currency exchange rates is determined as
the difference in the current period reported revenues at their current
period currency exchange rates and the current period reported revenues
revalued using the monthly average currency exchange rates during the
comparable prior period.
-- Acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations: In order to present
period-over-period organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth/change on a
comparable basis, revenues associated with acquisitions, divestitures
and discontinuations are adjusted to include only revenues from those
businesses and assets owned during both periods. Accordingly, organic
revenue (non-GAAP) growth/change excludes from the current period,
revenues attributable to each acquisition for twelve months subsequent
to the day of acquisition, as there are no revenues from those
businesses and assets included in the comparable prior period. Organic
revenue (non-GAAP) growth/change excludes from the prior period, all
revenues attributable to each divestiture and discontinuance during the
twelve months prior to the day of divestiture or discontinuance, as
there are no revenues from those businesses and assets included in the
comparable current period.
Constant Currency
Changes in the relative values of non-U.S. currencies to the U.S. dollar may affect the Company's financial results and financial position. To assist investors in evaluating the Company's performance, we have adjusted for foreign currency effects. Constant currency impact is determined by comparing 2020 reported amounts adjusted to exclude currency impact, calculated using 2019 monthly average exchange rates, to the actual 2019 reported amounts.
Please also see the reconciliation tables below for further information as to how these non-GAAP measures are calculated for the periods presented.
(1) Please see the tables at the end of this
news release for a reconciliation of
this and other non-GAAP measures to
the nearest comparable GAAP measure.
(2) Organic growth/change, a non-GAAP
metric, is defined as a change on a
period-over-period basis in revenues
on a constant currency basis (if
applicable) excluding the impact of
recent acquisitions, divestitures and
discontinuations.
(3) To assist investors in evaluating the
Company's performance, we have adjusted
for changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Change at constant
currency, a non-GAAP metric, is
determined by comparing 2020 reported
amounts adjusted to exclude currency
impact, calculated using 2019 monthly
average exchange rates, to the actual
2019 reported amounts.
4 Working capital refers to inventory
receivables and payables.
5 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash at March 31, 2020 includes
remaining net proceeds from the
December 2019 bond issuance intended to
be used to finance the $1.210 billion
pending settlement of the U.S.
Securities litigation due in 2020.
6 Diluted weighted average shares includes
the dilutive impact of options and
restricted stock units, which are
5,207,000 common shares for the 3
months ended March 31, 2020, and which
are excluded when calculating GAAP
diluted loss per share because the
effect of including the impact would be
anti-dilutive.

(a) The impact for changes in foreign
currency exchange rates is determined
as the difference in the current
period reported revenues at their
current period currency exchange rates
and the current period reported
revenues revalued using the monthly
average currency exchange rates during
the comparable prior period.
(b) To supplement the financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP, the
Company uses certain non-GAAP
financial measures. For additional
information about the Company's use of
such non-GAAP financial measures,
refer to the body of the news release
to which these tables are attached.
Organic revenue (non-GAAP) for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 is
calculated as revenue as reported
adjusted for: (i) the impact for
changes in exchange rates (previously
defined in this news release) and (ii)
revenues attributable to acquisitions
during the twelve months subsequent to
the day of acquisition, as there are
no revenues from those businesses
included in the comparable prior
period. Organic revenue (non-GAAP)
for the three months ended March 31,
2019 is calculated as revenue as
reported less revenues attributable to
divestitures and discontinuances
during the twelve months prior to the
day of divestiture or discontinuance,
as there are no revenues from those
businesses and assets included in the
comparable current period.
