                                                              Executive Overview


EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013
and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation,
on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc
("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the
"Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo
Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and
its subsidiaries.

We are dedicated to making lives better by bringing "Quality, Affordable
Self-Care Products™" that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a
leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that
enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or
treat conditions that can be self-managed. We are also a leading producer of
generic prescription pharmaceutical topical products such as creams, lotions,
gels, and nasal sprays.

Our vision is designed to support our shifting focus to our consumer branded and
store brand portfolio and our global reach and the opportunities for growth we
see ahead of us, while remaining loyal to our heritage. Our vision represents an
evolution from healthcare to self-care, which takes advantage of a massive
global trend and opens up a large number of adjacent growth opportunities. We
define self-care as not just treating disease or helping individuals feel better
after taking a product, but also maintaining and enhancing their overall health
and wellness. In 2019, Perrigo's management and Board of Directors launched a
three-year strategy to transform the Company into a consumer self-care leader,
consistent with our vision. Significant progress was made in the first year of
our transformation journey towards achieving the major components of
management's transformation strategy, which consists of: reconfiguring the
portfolio, delivering on base plans, creating repeatable platforms for growth,
driving organizational effectiveness and capabilities, increasing productivity,
allocating capital and delivering consistent and sustainable results in line
with consumer-packaged goods peers.

Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year. We end our quarterly accounting periods on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31 of each year.

Our Segments



During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we changed the composition of our
operating and reporting segments. We moved our pharmaceuticals and diagnostic
businesses in Israel from the Consumer Self-Care International segment to the
Prescription Pharmaceuticals segment and we made certain adjustments to our
allocations between segments. These changes were made to reflect changes in the
way in which management makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and
manages the growth and profitability of the Company.

Our new reporting and operating segments are as follows:



•      Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA"), formerly Consumer Healthcare
       Americas, comprises our consumer self-care business (OTC, contract
       manufacturing, infant formula, and oral self-care categories and our
       divested animal health category) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI"), formerly Consumer Healthcare

International, comprises our branded consumer self-care business primarily


       in Europe and Australia, our consumer-focused business in the United
       Kingdom and parts of Asia, and our liquid licensed products business in
       the United Kingdom.


•      Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") comprises our prescription
       pharmaceuticals business in the U.S. and our pharmaceuticals and
       diagnostic businesses in Israel, which were previously in our CSCI
       segment.


Our segments reflect the way in which our management makes operating decisions, allocates resources and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.

For information on each segment, our business environment, and competitive landscape, refer to Item 1. Business . For results by segment and geographic locations see below " Segment Results " and Item 8. Note 2 and Note 20 .

Strategy

Our strategy is to make lives better by bringing "Quality, Affordable Self-Care
Products™" that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We accomplish this by
leveraging our global infrastructure to expand our product offerings, thereby
providing new innovative products and product line extensions to existing
consumers and servicing new consumers through entry into adjacent product
categories or new geographies. We accomplish this strategy by investing in and
continually improving all aspects of our five strategic pillars:

• High quality;

• Superior customer service;




• Leading innovation;


• Best cost; and


• Empowered people,



while remaining true to our three core values, Integrity - we do what is right;
Respect - we demonstrate the value we hold for one another; and Responsibility -
we hold ourselves accountable for our actions.

We utilize shared services and Research and Development ("R&D") centers of excellence in order to help ensure consistency in our processes around the world, and to maintain focus on our five strategic pillars.



We continually reinvest in our R&D pipeline and work with partners as necessary
to strive to be first-to-market with new products. Our organic growth has been
driven by successful new product launches in all our segments and expansion in
new channels like e-commerce. Over time, we expect to continue to grow
inorganically through expansion into adjacent products, product categories, and
channels, as well as potentially through entry into new geographic markets. We
evaluate potential acquisition targets using an internally developed 12-point
scale, that is weighted towards accretive growth and correlated with shareholder
value.

Competitive Advantage

Our consumer-facing business model combines the unique competencies of a
fast-moving consumer goods company and a pharmaceutical manufacturing company
with the supply chain breadth necessary to support customers in the markets we
serve. These durable business model competencies align with our five strategic
pillars and provide us a competitive advantage in the marketplace. We fully
integrate quality in our operational systems across all products. Our ability to
manage our supply chain complexity across multiple dosage forms, formulations,
and stock-keeping units, as well as acquisitions, integrations, and hundreds of
global partners provides value to our customers. Product development capacity
and life cycle management are at the core of our operational investments.
Globally we have 22 manufacturing plants that are all in good regulatory
compliance standing and have systems and structures in place to guide our
continued success. Our leadership team is fully engaged in aligning all our
metrics and objectives around sustainable compliance with industry associations
and regulatory agencies.

Among other things, we believe the following give us a competitive advantage and provide value to our customers:



•      Leadership in first-to-market product development and product life cycle
       management;

• Turn-key regulatory and promotional capabilities;

• Management of supply chain complexity and utilizing economies of scale;

• Quality and cost effectiveness throughout the supply chain creating a

sustainable, low-cost network;

• Deep understanding of consumer needs and customer strategies;

• Industry leading e-commerce support; and




•      Expansive pan-European commercial infrastructure, brand-building
       capabilities, and a diverse product portfolio.

Product Categories

As we continue to transform to a consumer-focused, self-care company, we
re-aligned our product categories in our CSCA and CSCI segments as of December
31, 2019. The re-alignment standardizes our categories and product level detail
to provide consistency across segments. This transformative step will optimize
the way in which management reports and evaluates our business (refer to   Item
1. Business - Our Segments   and   Item 8. Note 2  ).

Recent Highlights

Year Ended December 31, 2019

• We previously announced a plan to separate our RX business, which, when

completed, will enable us to focus on expanding our consumer-focused

businesses. In 2019, we continued preparations related to our planned


       separation, which may include a possible sale, spin-off, merger or other
       form of separation. While we remain committed to transforming to a
       consumer-focused business, we have not committed to a specific date or
       form for the separation. In connection with the proposed separation, we
       have incurred significant preparation costs and will continue to incur
       costs that when completed will be in the range of $45.0 million to $80.0

million, excluding restructuring expenses and transaction costs, depending


       on the final timing and structure of the transaction.


• On July 8, 2019, we completed the sale of our animal health business to

PetIQ for cash consideration of $182.5 million, which resulted in a

pre-tax gain of $71.7 million recorded in Other (income) expense, net on


       the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


• On July 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in

Ranir Global Holdings, LLC ("Ranir"), a privately-held leading global

supplier of private label and branded oral self-care products. After

post-closing adjustments, total cash consideration paid was $747.7

million, net of $11.5 million cash acquired. This transaction advances our

transformation to a consumer-focused, self-care company while enhancing

our position as a global leader in consumer self-care solutions.

Year Ended December 31, 2018



•      During the year ended December 31, 2018, our divested financial asset
       Tysabri® met the 2018 global net sales threshold resulting in a
       $170.1 million gain. We received the $250.0 million royalty payment on
       February 22, 2019.


• During the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased $400.0 million


       worth of shares as part of our authorized share repurchase plan.

Recent Developments

Internal Revenue Service Notices of Proposed Adjustments



On August 22, 2019, we received a draft Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA")
from the IRS with respect to our fiscal tax years ended June 28, 2014 and June
27, 2015, relating to the deductibility of interest on $7.5 billion in

                                       57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perrigo Company plc - Item 7
                                                                    Consolidated


debts owed to Perrigo Company plc by Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation and
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Perrigo Company, plc. The debts were
incurred in connection with the Elan merger transaction in 2013. The draft NOPA
would cap the interest rate on the debts for U.S. federal tax purposes at 130.0%
of the Applicable Federal Rate (a blended rate reduction of 4.0% per annum from
the rates agreed to by the parties), on the stated ground that the loans were
not negotiated on an arms'-length basis. As a result of the proposed interest
rate reduction, the draft NOPA proposes a reduction in gross interest expense of
approximately $480.0 million for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. If the IRS were to
prevail in its proposed adjustment, we estimate an increase in tax expense for
such fiscal years of approximately $170.0 million, excluding interest and
penalties. In addition, we would expect the IRS to seek similar adjustments for
the period from June 28, 2015 through December 31, 2019. If those further
adjustments were sustained, based on our preliminary calculations and subject to
further analysis, our current best estimate is that the additional tax expense
would not exceed $200.0 million, excluding interest and penalties, for the
period June 28, 2015 through December 31, 2019. We do not expect any similar
adjustments beyond December 31, 2019 as proposed regulations, issued under
section 267A of the Internal Revenue Code, would eliminate the deductibility of
interest on this debt. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will
pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. No payment of any
amount related to the proposed adjustments is required to be made, if at all,
until all applicable proceedings have been completed.

Following receipt of the draft NOPA, Perrigo provided the IRS with a detailed
written response on September 20, 2019. That submission included an analysis by
external advisors that supported the original interest rates as being consistent
with arms'-length rates for comparable debt and explained why the exam team's
analyses and conclusions were both factually and legally misguided. Based on
discussions with the IRS, we had believed that the IRS staff would take our
submission into account and meet with us to discuss whether this issue could be
resolved at the examination level. However, in the weeks following such
discussions, IRS staff advised that they would not respond in detail to our
September submission or negotiate the interest rate issue prior to issuing a
final NOPA consistent with the draft NOPA. Accordingly, we currently expect that
we will receive a final NOPA regarding this matter that proposes substantially
the same adjustments described in the draft NOPA. While we believe our position
to be correct, there can be no assurance of an ultimate favorable outcome, and
if the matter is resolved unfavorably it could have a material adverse impact on
our liquidity and capital resources (refer to   Item 1A. Risk Factors - Tax
Related Risks   and   Item 8. Note 15  ).

On April 26, 2019, we received a revised NOPA from the IRS regarding transfer
pricing positions related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended
December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The NOPA carries
forward the IRS's theory from its 2017 draft NOPA that when Elan took over the
future funding of Athena's in-process research and development after acquiring
Athena in 1996, Elan should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for
the right to exploit Athena's intellectual property, rather than rates based on
transfer pricing documentation prepared by Elan's external tax advisors. The
NOPA proposes a payment of $843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a
40.0% penalty. This amount excludes consideration of offsetting tax attributes
and potentially material interest. We strongly disagree with the IRS position
and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including
potentially those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to
alleviate double taxation. No payment of the additional amounts is required
until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty
negotiation. While we believe our position to be correct, there can be no
assurance of an ultimate favorable outcome, and if the matter is resolved
unfavorably it could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital
resources (refer to   Item 1A. Risk Factors - Tax Related Risks   and   Item 8.
Note 15  ).

Irish Tax Appeals Commission Notice of Amended Assessment



On October 30, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from the Irish Office
of the Revenue Commissioners ("Irish Revenue") for the years ended December 31,
2012 and December 31, 2013. The audit finding letter relates to the tax
treatment of the 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual property and other
assets related to Tysabri® to Biogen Idec from Elan Pharma. The consideration
paid by Biogen to Elan Pharma took the form of an upfront payment and future
contingent royalty payments. Irish Revenue issued a Notice of Amended Assessment
("NoA") on November 29, 2018, which assesses an Irish corporation tax liability
against Elan Pharma in the amount of €1,636 million, not including interest or
any applicable penalties.

We disagree with this assessment and believe that the NoA is without merit and
incorrect as a matter of law. We filed an appeal of the NoA on December 27, 2018
and will pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues as may be
necessary or appropriate. In connection with that, Elan Pharma was granted leave
by the Irish High Court on February 25, 2019 to seek judicial review of the
issuance of the NoA by Irish Revenue. The judicial review filing is based

on our belief that Elan Pharma's legitimate expectations as a taxpayer have been
breached, not on the merits of the NoA itself. The High Court has scheduled a
hearing in this judicial review proceeding in April 2020, and we would expect a
decision in this matter in the second half of 2020. If we are ultimately
successful in the judicial review proceedings, the NoA will be invalidated and
Irish Revenue will not be able to re-issue the NoA. The proceedings before the
Tax Appeals Commission have been stayed until a decision on the judicial review
application has been made. If for any reason the judicial review proceedings are
ultimately unsuccessful in establishing that Irish Revenue's issuance of the NoA
breaches our legitimate expectations, Elan Pharma will reactivate its appeal to
challenge the merits of the NoA before the Tax Appeals Commission. While we
believe our position to be correct, there can be no assurance of an ultimate
favorable outcome, and if the matter is resolved unfavorably it could have a
material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources (refer to   Item
1A. Risk Factors - Tax Related Risks   and   Item 8. Note 15  ).

CONSUMER SELF-CARE AMERICAS

Recent Developments

• On February 20, 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire

the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands for cash of $113.0 million. The

transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2020 subject to

bankruptcy court approval in connection with High Ridge Brands' Chapter 11

cases, as well as other customary closing conditions. This transaction, in

combination with our existing children's oral self-care portfolio,

provides a new platform for disruptive product innovation in the form of

exclusive store and value brand programs that challenge current national


       brand oral care offerings.


• On January 3, 2020, we acquired Steripod®, a leading toothbrush accessory

brand and innovator in the toothbrush protector market, from Bonfit

America Inc. The acquisition, which includes a portfolio of antibacterial

toothbrush protectors, kids' toothbrush protectors and tongue cleaners,

complements our current portfolio of oral self-care products, and

leverages our manufacturing and marketing platform. Operating results

attributable to the products will be included in our CSCA segment. Total

consideration paid was $24.7 million, subject to customary post-closing


       adjustments


• On November 29, 2019, we acquired the branded OTC rights to Prevacid®24HR


       from GlaxoSmithKline for $61.5 million. The acquisition of
       Prevacid®24HR expands our U.S. OTC presence with a leading brand in our
       digestive health product category.


• During the three months ended September 28, 2019, after regulatory bodies


       announced worldwide that Ranitidine may potentially contain
       N-nitrosodimethylamine ("NDMA"), a known environmental contaminant, we
       promptly began testing our externally-sourced Ranitidine API and

Ranitidine-based products. On October 8, 2019, we halted shipments of the

product based upon preliminary results. Based on the totality of data

gathered, we made the decision to conduct a voluntary retail market

withdrawal, which resulted in a decrease in net sales of $7.4 million and


       a decrease in gross profit of $15.5 million in our CSCA segment.


• On July 8, 2019, we completed the sale of our animal health business to

PetIQ for cash consideration of $182.5 million, which resulted in a

pre-tax gain of $71.7 million recorded in Other (income) expense, net on


       the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


• On July 1, 2019, we acquired Ranir, a privately-held leading global

supplier of private label and branded oral self-care products, for $747.7


       million. This transaction advances our transformation to a
       consumer-focused, self-care company while enhancing our position as a
       global leader in consumer self-care solutions.



•      On April 1, 2019, we purchased the ANDAs and other records and

registrations of Budesonide Nasal Spray, a generic equivalent of Rhinocort

Allergy® and Triamcinolone Nasal Spray, a generic equivalent of Nasacort


       Allergy®, from Barr Laboratories, Inc., a subsidiary of Teva
       Pharmaceuticals, for a total of $14.0 million in cash.

Operating income %          16.6 %             7.2 %


Net sales increased $76.1 million, or 3%, due primarily to: • $162.1 million, or 7%, net increase due primarily to an increase of $106.4

million due to our acquisition of Ranir, increased volume due to OTC

category growth, market share gains from store brand competitors partly

driven by $36.2 million of new product sales, growth in OTC e-commerce,

and increased OTC store brand penetration versus national brand, partially

offset by lower infant formula contract pack sales as several branded

customers made the strategic decision to exit the category, lower net

sales in the Mexico business, and competition-driven pricing pressure;

partially offset by

$85.5 million decrease due to:

$50.2 million decrease due to our divested animal health business;

$27.9 million decrease due to our exited foods business; and

$7.4 million decrease due to the retail market withdrawal of
             Ranitidine products.


Operating income increased $239.6 million, or 137%, due primarily to:

$9.9 million increase in gross profit due primarily to increased net sales

as described above, but a 60 basis point decrease in gross profit as a

percentage of net sales, due primarily to pricing pressures, the retail

market withdrawal of Ranitidine products, and unfavorable product mix; and

$229.7 million decrease in operating expenses due primarily to:

$218.4 million decrease in impairment charges due primarily to the
             absence of $213.2 million in impairment charges related to animal
             health goodwill and intangible assets and a $5.0 million

decrease in


             certain IPR&D impairments; and


•            $34.5 million decrease in R&D expense due primarily to the absence
             of a $50.0 million upfront license fee payment to enter into a
             license agreement with Merck; partially offset by current year
             innovation investments; partially offset by


•            $15.5 million increase in selling and administrative

expenses due


             primarily to increased advertising and promotional spending to
             support product launches and eCommerce growth, an increase in
             employee-related expenses, and the acquisition of Ranir; and


•            $7.1 million increase in other operating expenses due to an asset
             abandonment related to our operations in Vermont.

Operating income %           7.2 %            19.4 %


Net sales decreased $18.3 million, or 1%, due primarily to:

$14.9 million, or 1%, net decrease due to discontinued products of $32.1

million and a decrease of existing product sales due to lost distribution

and channel dynamics in our animal health category and normal levels of

competition-driven pricing pressure, partially offset by a $48.7 million

increase due to new product sales; and

$3.4 million decrease due to unfavorable Mexican peso foreign currency

translation.

Operating income decreased $296.5 million, or 63%, due primarily to:

$54.7 million decrease in gross profit, or a 200 basis point decrease in

gross profit as a percentage of net sales, due primarily to operating

variances and increased input costs, lower sales in the higher margin

animal health business and pricing pressure; and

$241.8 million increase in operating expenses due primarily to:

$218.0 million increase in impairment charges due primarily to
             animal health goodwill and intangible assets; and


•            $44.8 million increase in R&D expense due primarily to a
             $50.0 million upfront license fee payment to enter into a license
             agreement with Merck; partially offset by


•            $26.9 million decrease in restructuring expense related to the cost
             reduction initiatives taken in 2017.


CONSUMER SELF-CARE INTERNATIONAL

Recent Developments

• During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we identified impairment

indicators related to certain pain relief products that we licensed from a

third party and reported as a definite-lived intangible asset. The

impairment indicators related to commercial launch delays and a decision

by the licensor to not extend the license agreement upon expiration. We

determined the asset was fully impaired and recorded an asset impairment


       of $9.7 million.


• During the three months ended September 28, 2019, after regulatory bodies

announced worldwide that Ranitidine may potentially contain NDMA, a known

environmental contaminant, we promptly began testing our externally

sourced Ranitidine API and Ranitidine-based products. On October 8, 2019,

we halted shipments of the product based upon preliminary results. Based

       sales of $1.8 million and a decrease in gross profit of $2.9 million in
       our CSCI segment.



•      On July 1, 2019, we acquired Ranir, a transaction that advances our

transformation to a consumer-focused, self-care company while enhancing

our position as a global leader in consumer self-care solutions. Ranir's

non-U.S. operations are primarily in the United Kingdom, France, Germany,


       and China.

products in the Phytosun® naturals portfolio, a $45.0 million increase due


       to our acquisition of Ranir, and volume increases in our UK store brand
       business, partially offset by lower net sales in France associated with
       restructuring the sales force and a $13.1 million decrease due to

PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICALS

Recent Trends and Developments

• Although pricing pressure is showing some signs of moderation, during 2019

we continued to experience a significant year-over-year reduction in

pricing in our RX segment due to competitive pressure. We expect softness

in pricing to continue to impact the segment for the foreseeable future.

• On February 24, 2020, along with our partner Catalent Pharma Solutions, we

received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on our

abbreviated new drug application for generic albuterol sulfate inhalation

aerosol, the first AB-rated generic version of ProAir® HFA. Shortly after

approval, we launched with limited commercial quantities and anticipate

that we will be in a position to provide a steady supply of this product


       by the fourth quarter of 2020.



•      During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we tested our RX U.S.
       reporting unit for impairment. The impairment indicators related to a

combination of industry and market factors that led to reduced projections


       of future cash flows. We determined the reporting unit was impaired and
       recorded an impairment charge of $109.2 million.


• During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we identified impairment

indicators on a definite-lived intangible asset related to our clindamycin

and benzoyl peroxide topical gel (generic equivalent to Benzaclin®).

Increased competition caused price erosion that lowered our long-range

revenue forecast, which indicated the asset was no longer recoverable and

was partially impaired. We recorded an asset impairment of $21.2 million.





•      On July 2, 2019, we purchased the Abbreviated New Drug Application
       ("ANDA") for a generic gel product for $49.0 million in cash, which we
       capitalized as a developed product technology intangible asset. We
       launched the product during the third quarter of 2019.


• During the three months ended September 28, 2019, we identified impairment


       indicators related to our Evamist® branded product, which is a
       definite-lived intangible asset. The indicators related to a decline in
       sales volume and a corresponding reduction in our long-range revenue
       forecast. We recorded an asset impairment of $10.8 million.



•      On May 17, 2019, we purchased the ANDA for a generic product used to
       relieve pain for $15.7 million in cash, which we capitalized as a

developed product technology intangible asset. We launched the product


       during the third quarter of 2019.

• During the three months ended June 29, 2019, we identified impairment


       indicators for a certain definite-lived asset related to changes in
       pricing and competition in the market, which lowered the projected cash
       flows we expect to generate from the asset. We recorded an asset
       impairment of $27.8 million.

Net sales increased $46.7 million, or 5%, due primarily to: • $87.5 million increase due to new product sales of $86.3 million driven

mainly by Acyclovir cream (generic equivalent to Zovirax® cream),

Testosterone Gel 1.62% (generic equivalent to Androgel®), and the

Scopolamine Patch relaunch and higher volumes of existing product sales to

meet the increased demand of our existing customers, partially offset by

competition-driven pricing pressure; partially offset by

$41.8 million of discontinued products.

Operating income decreased $212.0 million, or 99%, due to:

$39.0 million decrease in gross profit, or a 600 basis point decrease in


       gross profit as a percentage of net sales, due primarily to
       competition-driven pricing pressure, and unfavorable product mix; and


$173.0 million increase in operating expense due primarily to $170.7

million increase in impairment charges related to goodwill, certain

definite-lived intangible assets and IPR&D, and a $4.8 million increase in

OTHER

We previously had two legacy segments, Specialty Sciences and Other, which
contained our Tysabri® financial asset and API businesses, respectively, which
we divested. Following these divestitures, there were no substantial assets or
operations left in either of these segments. Effective January 1, 2017, all
expenses associated with our former Specialty Sciences segment were moved to
unallocated expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed the divestment of the
Tysabri® financial asset to Royalty Pharma for $2.2 billion upfront in cash and
up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in milestone payments if the royalties
on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma meet
specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this
transaction, we transferred the entire financial asset to Royalty Pharma and
recorded a $17.1 million gain in Change in financial assets. See "Interest,
Other (Income) Expense and Change in Financial Assets (Consolidated)" below.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our India API
business to Strides Shasun Limited. We received $22.2 million in proceeds,
resulting in an immaterial gain recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to closing the sale, we determined
that the carrying value of the India API business exceeded its fair value less
the cost to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $35.3 million, which was
recorded in Impairment charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our Israel API
business to SK Capital for a sale price of $110.0 million, which resulted in an
immaterial gain recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Unallocated Expenses



Unallocated expenses are comprised of certain corporate services not allocated
to our reporting segments and are recorded above Operating income on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unallocated expenses were as follows (in

The $72.2 million increase for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the
prior year was due primarily to a $31.0 million increase in legal and consulting
fees partially due to the absence of a $17.8 million insurance recovery received
in the prior year, a $15.6 million increase in acquisition and
integration-related charges related to the Ranir acquisition, a $13.8 million
increase in employee compensation expenses, and a $10.7 million increase due
primarily to our strategic transformation initiative and the reorganization of
our executive management team.

The $24.7 million decrease for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the
prior year was due primarily to an insurance recovery of $17.8 million, a
decrease in legal and consulting fees of $8.7 million and, a decrease in
restructuring expense of $5.5 million related to strategic organizational
enhancements; partially offset by an increase in employee-related expenses of
$5.2 million.

Change in Financial Assets

The proceeds from our 2017 sale of the Tysabri® financial asset consisted of
$2.2 billion in upfront cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in
contingent milestone payments related to 2018 and 2020, respectively. During the
year ended December 31, 2019 we received the $250.0 million contingent milestone
payment.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 the fair value of the Royalty Pharma
milestone payment related to 2020 increased by $22.1 million to $95.3 million.
These adjustments were driven by higher projected global net sales of Tysabri®
and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out.

In order for us to receive the milestone payment related to 2020 of $400.0
million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must
exceed $351.0 million. The Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® were
$337.5 million in 2018. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri®
sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write-off the
$95.3 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded,
we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of
$304.7 million in Change in financial assets on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations (refer to   Item 8. Note 7  ).

During the year ended December 31, 2018, royalties on global net sales of
Tysabri® received by Royalty Pharma met the 2018 threshold resulting in an
increase to the asset and a gain of $170.1 million recognized in Change in
financial assets on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Also during that
period, the fair value of the remaining Royalty Pharma contingent milestone
payment related to 2020 increased $18.6 million due to higher projected global
net sales of Tysabri® and the estimated probability of achieving the contingent
milestone payment related to 2020.

Interest Expense, Net



The $6.3 million decrease during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to
the prior year was due primarily to changes in our underlying hedge exposure and
interest income (refer to   Item 8. Note 9  ).

The $40.1 million decrease during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year was the result of early debt repayments made during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

The $72.1 million change was due primarily to a $71.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of our animal health business (refer to Item 8. Note 3 )



The $16.2 million decrease during the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
the prior year was due primarily to the absence of $10.0 million in milestone
income related to royalty rights, a $9.5 million loss on our fair value
investment securities, and $4.5 million of unfavorable changes in revaluation of
monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies; partially offset by
the absence of a $5.9 million loss on hedges related to the extinguishment of
debt in the prior year, and a $2.7 million gain on our equity method
investments.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt



During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a $135.2 million loss on
extinguishment of debt, which consisted of tender premium on debt repayments,
transaction costs, write-off of deferred financing fees, and bond discounts.

Income Taxes (Consolidated)

The effective tax rates were as follows:


                   Year Ended
 December 31,     December 31,     December 31,
     2019             2018             2017
      14.6 %           54.9 %           57.3 %


The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased in comparison to the prior year due primarily to a decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance offset by increased U.S. permanent adjustments largely due to disallowed interest expense.



The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased in
comparison to the prior year due primarily to the 2017 sale of API Israel and
the one-time U.S. transition toll tax, offset by additional tax expense due to
valuation allowances in Belgium and state tax recorded for the future
distributions of foreign earnings recorded in 2018.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



We finance our operations with internally generated funds, supplemented by
credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We
routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial
market conditions to evaluate other available financing sources including
revolving bank credit and securities offerings. In determining our future
capital requirements, we regularly consider, among other factors, known trends
and uncertainties, such as the Notice of Assessment ("NoA") and the draft and
final Notices of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPAs") and other contingencies. We note
that no payment of the additional amounts assessed by Irish Revenue pursuant to
the NoA or proposed by the IRS in the NOPAs is currently required, and no such
payment is expected to be required, unless and until a final determination of
the matter is reached that is adverse to us, which could take several years in
either case (refer to   Item 8. Note 15   for additional information on the NoA
and NOPAs). Based on the foregoing, management believes that our operations and
borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our short-term and long-term
capital requirements, as described below. However, an adverse result with
respect to our appeal of any material outstanding tax assessments or litigation,
including securities or drug pricing matters, could ultimately require the use
of corporate assets to pay such assessments, damages resulting from third-party
claims, and related interest and/or penalties, and any such use of corporate
assets would limit the assets available for other corporate purposes. As such,
we continue to evaluate the impact of the above factors on liquidity and may
determine that modifications to our capital structure are appropriate if market
conditions deteriorate, favorable capital market opportunities become available,
or any change in conditions relating to the NoA, the NOPAs or other
contingencies have a material impact on our capital requirements.

              [[Image Removed: chart-e966a7ebd1bf5daabbea01.jpg]]

* Working capital represents current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash and cash equivalents and current indebtedness.



Cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowings available
under our credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to finance our
liquidity and capital expenditures in both the short and long term. Although our
lenders have made commitments to make funds available to us in a timely fashion
under our revolving credit agreements and overdraft facilities, if economic
conditions worsen or new information becomes publicly available impacting the
institutions' credit rating or capital ratios, these lenders may be unable or
unwilling to lend money pursuant to our existing credit facilities. Should our
outlook on liquidity requirements change substantially from current projections,
we may seek additional sources of liquidity in the future.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 vs. December 31, 2018

The $205.2 million decrease in operating cash flow was due primarily to:

$161.7 million decrease in cash due to the change in accounts receivable


       due primarily to timing of sales and receipt of payments primarily in RX
       and CSCI, and our acquisition of Ranir;


$142.6 million decrease in cash due to prior year tax payments made in the


       current year, current year estimated tax payments, and an Israeli
       withholding tax payment; and


$74.1 million decrease in cash due to the change in accrued customer

programs due primarily to pricing dynamics in our RX segment, as well as


       timing of rebate and chargeback payments; partially offset by



•      $88.9 million increase in cash due to the change in net earnings after

adjustments for items such as deferred income taxes, impairment charges,

restructuring charges, changes in our financial assets, share-based

compensation, amortization of debt premium, gain on sale of business, and


       depreciation and amortization;


$36.0 million increase in cash due primarily to changes in operating


       leases and litigation related settlements;


$31.6 million decrease in the use of cash primarily due to the continued

build-up of inventory at a lower level than in the prior year to support


       customer demands and improved supply management in our CSCA and CSCI
       segments, and increased volumes in CSCI due to new product launches; and


$30.8 million decrease in the use of cash due to the change in accrued


       payroll and related taxes due primarily to an increase in employee
       incentive compensation expense.


Year Ended December 31, 2018 vs. December 31, 2017

The $105.9 million decrease in operating cash flow was due primarily to:

$190.4 million decrease in cash due to the change in net earnings after

adjustments for items such as deferred income taxes, impairment charges,


       restructuring charges, changes in our financial assets, loss on
       extinguishment of debt, and depreciation and amortization; and



•      $82.6 million decrease in cash due to the change in inventory due

primarily to increased volumes and actions to improve customer service in


       our CSCA segment and increased volumes due to new product launches and
       changing market dynamics in our RX segment; partially offset by


$68.4 million increase in cash due to the change in accounts payable due

primarily to timing of payments, mix of payment terms, and the absence of


       transactions related to the exited Russian business and prior year
       distribution phase out initiatives;



•      $74.2 million increase in cash due to the change in accrued income taxes
       due primarily to U.S. Federal tax obligation payments made in the prior
       year, offset by expected tax refunds;


$26.9 million increase in cash due to the change in accrued liabilities


       due primarily to the change in royalty and profit sharing accruals; and


$17.8 million increase in cash due to the change in accounts receivable

due primarily to the discontinuation of our Belgium accounts receivable


       factoring program, more than offset by timing of sales and receipt of
       payments in our CSCA and RX segments.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 vs. December 31, 2018

The $469.3 million decrease in investing cash flow was due primarily to:

$747.7 million decrease in cash used for the acquisition of Ranir (refer

to Item 8. Note 3 );

$113.5 million decrease in cash used for other acquisitions, primarily for


       the branded OTC rights to Prevacid®24HR for $61.7 million, an ANDA for a
       generic gel product for $49.0 million, an ANDA for a generic product used
       to relieve pain for $15.7 million, and Budesonide Nasal Spray and
       Triamcinolone Nasal Spray for $14.0 million, partially offset by the

absence of $35.6 million of prior year acquisitions primarily related to


       an ANDA for a generic topical cream (refer to   Item 8. Note 3  ); and

$35.1 million decrease in cash used for capital spending, primarily to


       increase tablet and infant formula capacity and quality/regulation
       projects; partially offset by

$250.0 million receipt of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone proceeds

(refer to Item 8. Note 7 ); and

$177.3 million in proceeds received from divestitures, primarily from our

animal health business (refer to Item 8. Note 3 ).

Capital expenditures for the next twelve months are anticipated to be between $175.0 million and $225.0 million related to manufacturing productivity and efficiency initiatives, increased tablet and infant formula capacity and quality/regulatory projects. We expect to fund these estimated capital expenditures with funds from operating cash flows.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 vs. December 31, 2017

The $2.5 billion decrease in investing cash flow was due primarily to:

$2.2 billion absence of proceeds from the 2017 divestment of our Tysabri®


       financial asset to Royalty Pharma;


•      $149.4 million absence of 2017 net proceeds from sale of business and
       other assets;

$73.6 million decrease in proceeds from royalty rights; and

$35.6 million decrease in cash due primarily to the acquisition of an ANDA

for a generic topical cream.





Cash used for capital expenditures totaled $102.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 2018 compared to $88.6 million in the prior year. The increase in
cash used for capital expenditures was due primarily to the increase in the
number of manufacturing projects in the current year compared to the prior year.

Overdraft Facilities

We have overdraft facilities available that we use to support our cash management operations. We report any balances outstanding in "Other Financing" in Item 8. Note 11 . There were no borrowings outstanding under the facilities as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Leases

We had $158.2 million of lease liabilities and $157.5 million of lease assets as of December 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable Factoring



We have accounts receivable factoring arrangements with non-related third-party
financial institutions (the "Factors"). Pursuant to the terms of the
arrangements, we sell to the Factors certain of our accounts receivable balances
on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. An administrative fee per
invoice is charged on the gross amount of accounts receivables assigned to the
Factors, and interest is calculated at the applicable EUR LIBOR rate plus a
spread. The total amount factored on a non-recourse basis and excluded from
accounts receivable was $10.0 million and $24.3 million at December 31, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On March 8, 2018, we terminated the revolving credit agreement entered into in December 2014 and entered into a $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement maturing on March 8, 2023 (the "2018 Revolver"). There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Debt Repayments

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we made $24.7 million in scheduled
principal payments. In connection with the Omega acquisition, on March 30, 2015,
we assumed a 5.000% retail bond due 2019 in the amount of €120.0 million
($130.7 million). On May 23, 2019 we repaid the bond in full. On August 15,
2019, we refinanced the €284.4 million ($317.1 million) outstanding under the
2018 Term Loan with the proceeds of a new $600.0 million term loan (the "2019
Term Loan"), maturing on August 15, 2022. During the year ended December 31,
2018, we made $51.5 million in scheduled principal payments.

We are in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of December 31, 2019 (refer to Item 8. Note 11 and Note 10 for more information on all of the above debt facilities and lease activity, respectively).

Credit Ratings

Our credit ratings on December 31, 2019 were Baa3 (stable) and BBB- (stable) by Moody's Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings, respectively.



Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically and, therefore, the
credit rating assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any
time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether current credit ratings
will remain as disclosed above. Factors that can affect our credit ratings
include changes in operating performance, the economic environment, our
financial position, and changes in business strategy. If changes in our credit
ratings were to occur, they could impact, among other things, future borrowing
costs, access to capital markets, and vendor financing terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or
that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. We acquire
and collaborate on potential products still in development and enter into R&D
arrangements with third parties that often require milestone payments to the
third-party contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to
the success of the asset in development. Milestone payments may be required
contingent upon the successful achievement of an important point in the
development life cycle of the product. Because of the contingent nature of these
payments, they are not included in our table of contractual obligations below.

Contractual Obligations



Our enforceable and legally binding obligations as of December 31, 2019 are set
forth in the following table. Some of the amounts included in this table are
based on management's estimates and assumptions about these obligations,
including the duration, the possibility of renewal, anticipated actions by third
parties and other factors. Because these estimates and assumptions are
necessarily subjective, the enforceable and legally binding obligations actually
paid in future periods may vary from the amounts reflected in the table (in
millions):

(1) Short-term and long-term debt includes interest payments, which were

calculated using the effective interest rate at December 31, 2019.

(2) Consists of commitments for both materials and services.

(3) Used in normal course of business, principally for warehouse facilities and

computer equipment.

(4) Includes amounts associated with non-qualified plans related to deferred

compensation, executive retention and post employment benefits. Of this

amount, we have funded $34.4 million, which is recorded in Other non-current

assets on the balance sheet. These amounts are assumed payable after five

years, although certain circumstances, such as termination, would require

earlier payment.

(5) Primarily includes consulting fees, legal settlements, contingent

consideration obligations, restructuring accruals, insurance obligations, and

electrical and gas purchase contracts, which were accrued in Other current

liabilities and Other non-current liabilities at December 31, 2019 for all


    years.



We fund our U.S. qualified profit-sharing and investment plan in accordance with
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 regulations for the minimum
annual required contribution and Internal Revenue Service regulations for the
maximum annual allowable tax deduction. We are committed to making the required
minimum contributions, which we expect to be approximately $24.8 million over
the next 12 months. Future contributions are dependent upon various factors,
including employees' eligible compensation, plan participation and changes, if
any, to current funding requirements. Therefore, no amounts were included in the
Contractual Obligations table above. We generally expect to fund all future
contributions with cash flows from operating activities.

As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $448.6 million of liabilities for
uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. These unrecognized
tax benefits have been excluded from the Contractual Obligations table above due
to uncertainty as to the amounts and timing of settlement with taxing
authorities.

Net deferred income tax liabilities were $275.2 million as of December 31, 2019.
This amount is not included in the Contractual Obligations table above because
we believe this presentation would not be meaningful. Net deferred income tax
liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between the tax basis
of assets and liabilities and their book basis, which will result in taxable
amounts in future years when the book basis is settled. The results of these
calculations do not have a direct connection with the amount of cash taxes to be
paid in

any future periods. As a result, scheduling net deferred income tax liabilities
as payments due by period could be misleading because this scheduling would not
relate to liquidity needs.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The determination of certain amounts in our financial statements requires the
use of estimates. These estimates are based upon our historical experiences
combined with management's understanding of current facts and circumstances.
Although the estimates are considered reasonable based on the currently
available information, actual results could differ from the estimates we have
used. Management considers the below accounting estimates to require the most
judgment and to be the most critical in the preparation of our financial
statements. These estimates are reviewed by the Audit Committee.

Revenue Recognition



Net product sales include estimates of variable consideration for which accruals
and allowances are established. Variable consideration for product sales
consists primarily of chargebacks, rebates, other incentive programs, and
related administrative fees recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as
Accrued customer programs, and sales returns and shelf stock allowances recorded
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction to Accounts receivable. Where
appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible
outcomes in which relevant factors, such as historical experience, current
contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends,
industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, are either
probability-weighted to derive an estimate of expected value or the estimate
reflects the single most likely outcome. Overall, these reserves reflect the
best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on
the terms of the contract. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received
may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the
estimates, these estimates are adjusted, which would affect revenue and earnings
in the period such variances become known.

The aggregate gross-to-net adjustments related to RX products can exceed 50% of
the segment's gross sales. In contrast, the aggregate gross-to-net adjustments
related to CSCA and CSCI typically do not exceed 10% of the segment's gross
sales. The following table summarizes the activity in Accrued customer programs
and allowance accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

                                                   Critical Accounting Estimates


Chargebacks

We market and sell U.S. Rx pharmaceutical products directly to wholesalers,
distributors, warehousing pharmacy chains, and other direct purchasing groups.
We also market products indirectly to independent pharmacies, non-warehousing
chains, managed care organizations, and group purchasing organizations,
(collectively referred to as "indirect customers"). In addition, we enter into
agreements with some indirect customers to establish contract pricing for
certain products. These indirect customers then independently select a
wholesaler from which to purchase the products at these contracted prices.
Alternatively, we may pre-authorize wholesalers to offer specified contract
pricing to other indirect customers. Under either arrangement, we provide
chargeback credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted
price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler's invoice price. The accrual
for chargebacks includes an estimate for outstanding claims that occurred but
for which the related claim has not yet been paid, and an estimate for future
claims that will be made when the wholesaler inventory is sold to the indirect
customer. This estimate is based on historical chargeback experience, which
includes sell-through levels by wholesalers to retailers, and confirmed
wholesaler inventory levels. We regularly assess current pricing dynamics and
wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is
fairly stated.

Medicaid Rebates

We participate in certain qualifying U.S. federal and state government programs
whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating government entities.
Medicaid rebates are amounts owed based upon contractual agreements or legal
requirements with public sector (Medicaid) benefit providers, after the final
dispensing of the product by a pharmacy to a benefit plan participant. Medicaid
reserves are based on expected payments, which are driven by patient usage,
contract performance, and field inventory that will be subject to a Medicaid
rebate. Medicaid rebates are typically billed up to 180 days after the product
is shipped, but can be billed as many as 270 days after the quarter in which the
product is dispensed to the Medicaid participant. As a result, our Medicaid
rebate provision includes an estimate of outstanding claims for end-customer
sales that occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed, and an
estimate for future claims that will be made when inventory in the distribution
channel is sold through to plan participants. Our calculation also requires
other estimates, such as estimates of sales mix, to determine which sales are
subject to rebates and the amount of such rebates. Our rebates are reviewed on a
monthly basis against actual claims data to ensure the liability is fairly
stated.

Returns and Shelf Stock Allowances



We maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a
specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. Generally,
product may be returned for a period beginning six months prior to its
expiration date to up to one year after its expiration date. The majority of our
product returns are the result of product dating, which falls within the range
set by our policy, and are settled through the issuance of a credit to the
customer. Our estimate of the provision for returns is based upon our historical
experience with actual returns, which is applied to the level of sales for the
period that corresponds to the period during which our customers may return
product. The period is based on the shelf life of the products at the time of
shipment. Additionally, when establishing our reserves, we consider factors such
as levels of inventory in the distribution channel, product dating and
expiration period, size and maturity of the market prior to a product launch,
entrance into the market of additional competition, and changes in formulations.

Shelf stock allowances are credits issued to reflect changes in the selling
price of a product and are based upon estimates of the amount of product
remaining in a customer's inventory at the time of the anticipated price change.
In many cases, the customer is contractually entitled to such a credit. The
allowances for shelf stock adjustments are based on specified terms with certain
customers, estimated launch dates of competing products, and estimated changes
in market price.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 7
                                                   Critical Accounting Estimates

RX Administrative Fees and Other Rebates



Rebates or administrative fees are offered to certain wholesale customers, group
purchasing organizations, and end-user customers. Settlement of rebates and fees
generally may occur from one to 15 months from the date of sale. We provide a
provision for rebates at the time of sale based on contracted rates and
historical redemption rates. Estimates used to establish the provision include
level of wholesaler inventories, contract sales volumes, and average contract
pricing.

CSCA and CSCI Rebates and Other Allowances



In the CSCA and CSCI segments, we offer certain customers a volume incentive
rebate if specific levels of product purchases are made during a specified
period. The accrual for rebates is based on contractual agreements and estimated
levels of purchasing. In addition, we have a reserve for product returns,
primarily related to damaged and unsaleable products. We also have agreements
with certain customers to cover promotional activities related to our products
such as coupon programs, new store allowances, and product displays. The accrual
for these activities is based on customer agreements and is established at the
time product revenue is recognized.

Allowances for customer-related programs are generally recorded at the time of
sale based on the estimates and methodologies described above. We continually
monitor product sales provisions and re-evaluate these estimates as additional
information becomes available, which includes, among other things, an assessment
of current market conditions, trade inventory levels, and customer product mix.
We make adjustments to these provisions at the end of each reporting period to
reflect any such updates to the relevant facts and circumstances.

Income Taxes



Our tax rate is subject to adjustment over the balance of the year due to, among
other things, income tax rate changes by governments; the jurisdictions in which
our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the valuation of
our deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments to estimated taxes upon
finalization of various tax returns; adjustments to our interpretation of
transfer pricing standards; changes in available tax credits, grants and other
incentives; changes in stock-based compensation expense; changes in tax laws or
the interpretation of such tax laws; changes in U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles; expiration of or the inability to renew tax rulings or
tax holiday incentives; and the repatriation of earnings with respect to which
we have not previously provided taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2019 we
recorded a net decrease in valuation allowances of $56.6 million, comprised
primarily of a decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance related to the
acquisition of Ranir and disposal of the Perrigo Animal Health business.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable and that we prepare
our tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final
determination with respect to any tax audit, and any related litigation, could
be materially different from our estimates or from our historical income tax
provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a
material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which
that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely
impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest
assessments (refer to   Item 8. Note 15  ).

Legal Contingencies



We are involved in product liability, patent, commercial, regulatory and other
legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. We record a
liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range and no
amount within that range is a better estimate, the minimum amount in the range
is accrued. If a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably
estimated, no liability is recorded. We have established reserves for certain of
our legal matters (refer to   Item 8. Note 17  ). We do not incorporate
insurance recoveries into our reserves for legal contingencies. We separately
record receivables for amounts due under insurance policies when we consider the
realization of recoveries for claims to be probable, which may be different than
the timing in which we establish the loss reserves.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 7
                                                   Critical Accounting Estimates


Acquisition Accounting

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting,
which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair
value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the specifically identified assets is recorded as goodwill. If the
acquired net assets do not constitute a business, or substantially all of the
fair value is in a single asset or group of similar assets, the transaction is
accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset
acquisition, acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense
at the acquisition date.

Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible
assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The acquired intangible
assets can include customer relationships, trademarks, trade names, brands,
developed product technology and IPR&D assets. In some of our acquisitions, we
acquire IPR&D intangible assets. For acquisitions accounted for as business
combinations, IPR&D is considered to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset
until the research is completed, at which point it then becomes a definite-lived
intangible asset, or is determined to have no future use and is then impaired.
There are several methods that can be used to determine the fair value of our
intangible assets. We typically use an income approach to value the specifically
identifiable intangible assets which is based on forecasts of the expected
future cash flows. We have historically used a relief from royalty or
multi-period excess earnings methodology. The fair value estimates are based on
available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions
deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. We typically
consult with an independent advisor to assist in the valuation of these
intangible assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the
valuations include discount rates, revenue growth assumptions and expected
profit margins. We consider marketplace participant assumptions in determining
the amount and timing of future cash flows along with the length of our customer
relationships, the attrition, product or technology life cycles, barriers to
entry and the risk associated with the cash flows in concluding upon our
discount rate. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately
value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our
estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result,
during the measurement period, we may record adjustments to the purchase
accounting. In addition, unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and
circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the
estimates and assumptions.

Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as
different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and
certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. With the
exception of certain trademarks, trade names, and brands and IPR&D, the majority
of our acquired intangible assets are expected to have determinable useful
lives. Our assessment as to the useful lives of these intangible assets is based
on a number of factors including competitive environment, market share,

Change in Financial Assets



We valued our contingent milestone payments from Royalty Pharma using a modified
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the
estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of
Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma until the contingent milestones are
resolved. Volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones have a
positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher
estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. We assess volatility
and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility
benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying
projected royalties. The table below represents the volatility and rate of
return:
                            Year Ended
                                      December 31,

In order for us to receive the milestone payment related to 2020, Royalty Pharma
payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If

Goodwill

Goodwill represents amounts paid for an acquisition in excess of the fair value
of net assets received. We have six reporting units subject to impairment
testing annually, which we performed on the first day of the fourth quarter of
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017. We performed impairment
testing more frequently if events suggest an impairment may exist. We had
triggering events during the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019
and the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2018, and we performed
interim impairment tests in those periods. The test for impairment requires us
to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected
future cash flows and market valuation multiples. The estimates associated with
the goodwill impairment tests are considered critical due to the judgments
required in determining fair value amounts, including projected future cash
flows that include assumptions about future performance. The discount rates used
in testing each of our reporting units' goodwill for impairment during our
interim and annual testing were based on the weighted average cost of capital
determined for each of our reporting units. In our annual impairment test as of
September 29, 2019, discount rates ranged from 7.5% to 12.0%, and perpetual
growth rates ranged from 0.0% to 2.0%. In our annual impairment test as of
September 30, 2018, discount rates ranged from 8.5% to 13.8%, and perpetual
growth rates ranged from 2.0% to 3.0%. Changes in these estimates may result in
the recognition of an impairment loss. We recorded goodwill impairment losses of
$109.2 million related to our RX U.S. reporting unit and $136.7 million related
to animal health during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
respectively, which were recorded in Impairment charges on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. No goodwill impairments were recorded during the year
ended December 31, 2017.

The goodwill impairment that we recorded in the RX U.S. reporting unit during
the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019 adjusted the carrying
value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. Changes in discount
rates, projected future cash flows, market valuation multiples and other
estimates could result in additional goodwill impairment in this reporting unit
in future periods.

During our annual goodwill testing as of September 29, 2019 and September 30,
2018, we determined the fair value of the Branded Consumer Self-care ("BCS")
reporting unit included in the CSCI segment was less than 10.0% higher than its
net book value in both analyses. We performed additional quantitative analysis
during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and concluded that the fair
value of the BCS reporting unit remained less than 10.0% higher than its net
book value as of December 31, 2018. As a result of the relatively narrow margin
between fair value and net book value during the three months ended December 31,
2019 and 2018, this reporting unit is at risk for future impairments if it
experiences deterioration in business performance or market multiples or
increases in discount rates.

During our annual goodwill testing as of September 29, 2019, we determined the
fair value of the CSC UK and Australia reporting unit included in the CSCI
segment was less than 20.0% higher than its net book value. With a margin
between fair value and net book value in this range, the reporting unit is at
risk for future goodwill impairments if it experiences deterioration in business
performance or market multiples or increases in discount rates.

The discounted cash flow forecasts used for our reporting units include
assumptions about future activity levels in the near term and longer-term. If
growth in our reporting units is lower than expected, we may experience
deterioration in our cash flow forecasts that may indicate goodwill in one or
more reporting units is impaired in future impairment tests. We continue to
monitor the progress of our reporting units and assess them for potential
impairment should impairment indicators arise, as applicable, and at least
annually during our fourth quarter impairment testing.

Management performed sensitivity analyses on the discounted cash flow valuations
that were prepared to estimate the enterprise values of each reporting unit.
Discount rates and perpetual revenue growth rates were increased and decreased
by increments of 25 or 50 basis points. For the BCS reporting unit, a 75 basis
point increase in the discount rate, or a 50 basis point increase in the
discount rate combined with a 25 basis point decrease in the residual growth
rate, would indicate potential impairment for this reporting unit. For the CSC
UK and

                                                   Critical Accounting Estimates


Australia reporting unit, a 150 basis point increase in the discount rate, or a
100 basis point increase in the discount rate combined with a 50 basis point
decrease in the residual growth rate, would indicate potential impairment for
this reporting unit. Our sensitivities for both the BCS and CSC UK and Australia
reporting units assume a corresponding decrease in market valuation multiples.
Based on the sensitivity of the discount rate assumptions on these analyses, an
increase in the discount rate over the next twelve months could negatively
impact the estimated fair value of the reporting units and lead to a future
impairment. Certain macroeconomic factors which are not controlled by the
reporting units, such as rising inflation or interest rates, could cause an
increase in the discount rate to occur. Deterioration in performance of our
reporting units over the next twelve months, such as lower than expected revenue
or profitability that has a sustained impact on future periods, could also
represent potential indicators of impairment requiring further impairment
analysis.
