Merger Agreement with AbbVie Inc.





On June 25, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into a transaction
agreement (the "AbbVie Agreement") under which AbbVie Inc. ("AbbVie"), a global,
research-driven biopharmaceutical company, would acquire Allergan plc in a stock
and cash transaction (the "AbbVie Transaction"), valued at $188.24 per Allergan
share, or approximately $63.0 billion, based on AbbVie's then-current stock
price at the time the AbbVie Transaction was announced. At the closing of the
proposed AbbVie Transaction, Company shareholders will receive 0.8660 shares of
AbbVie common stock and $120.30 in cash for each of their existing shares. On
October 14, 2019, the Company's shareholders voted to approve the AbbVie
Transaction. The AbbVie Transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals
and other customary closing conditions. On May 5, 2020 the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC") accepted a proposed consent order in connection with the
AbbVie Transaction. Under the terms of the consent order, the companies have
agreed to divest brazikumab, an investigational IL-23 inhibitor in development
for autoimmune diseases, to AstraZeneca and Zenpep, a treatment for exocrine
pancreatic insufficiency due to cystic fibrosis and other conditions, to Nestle
Health Science. Nestle also will be acquiring Viokace, another pancreatic enzyme
preparation, as part of the same transaction.



On May 6, 2020, the Irish High Court (the "Court") approved the AbbVie
Transaction at a sanction hearing in relation to the scheme of arrangement (the
"Scheme") (and to confirm the associated capital reduction) under the AbbVie
Transaction.



Completion of the AbbVie Transaction remains subject to the delivery to, and
registration by, the Registrar of Companies in Ireland of copies of (i) the
order of the Court sanctioning the Scheme and confirming the associated
reduction of capital; and (ii) the minute required by Section 86 of the Act in
respect of the reduction of capital, each of which is expected to occur on May
8, 2020.

Additionally, on October 25, 2019, in connection with the AbbVie Transaction,
AbbVie commenced offers to exchange all Allergan Senior Notes issued by Allergan
and maturing from September 15, 2020 through March 15, 2045 for up to
approximately $19.6 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued
by AbbVie and cash.  In conjunction with the exchange offer, AbbVie solicited
and obtained consents from eligible holders of the Allergan Senior Notes to
amend each of the indentures governing the Allergan Senior Notes to eliminate
substantially all of the restrictive covenants in such indentures and eliminate
any guarantees of the related Allergan Senior Notes. Consummation of the
exchange offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the
AbbVie Transaction.  The exchange offers are expected to close, and such
amendments are expected to become operative, on or about the closing date of the
AbbVie Transaction.

Impact of COVID-19



In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company's net sales were
negatively impacted by an estimated 3% compared to the prior year period
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's medical aesthetic portfolio
of products has been most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as
these products are typically administered as elective procedures. These elective
procedures have been negatively affected by local and national government
restrictions, such as "social distancing, "shelter in place" orders and business
closures, that were put in place in the last few weeks of the first quarter in
the United States and throughout the first quarter in many international markets
as well as by economic conditions. As a consequence, consumer demand has
significantly declined and the ability of practitioners to administer these
procedures has been restricted. While the Company anticipates the COVID-19
pandemic will have a continued negative effect on the revenues of these products
in the near-term, it is difficult to determine the full extent and duration of
the impact on the future operating results of the business. For example, the
Company has recently observed, particularly in certain Asia Pacific
international markets, early signs of some recovery of the global medical
aesthetic business and anticipates that the recovery with continue to occur
during the second half of 2020. The Company anticipates that the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's therapeutic products will be less significant
compared to the Company's medical aesthetic products. The Company's therapeutic
business may, however, be impacted by changes in commercial and government
rebate channels as a result of economic conditions, including increases in
unemployment rates.

The Company and our third-party contract manufacturing partners continue to
operate our manufacturing facilities at or near normal levels. While we
currently do not anticipate any interruptions in our manufacturing process, it
is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact in the future on our
and/or our third-party suppliers' and contract manufacturing partners' ability
to manufacture our products or to have our products reach all markets.

The Company continues to operate clinical trials globally. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, certain clinical sites have temporarily suspended enrolling new
patients. The Company is taking measures to mitigate any potential delays in
clinical trials, but it is possible that the timing of these trials and
anticipated launch dates of the related projects may be impacted.

The Company has suspended face to face sales meetings and the Company's sales
teams have been working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's
sales teams continue to work with customers to provide sufficient levels of
support and detailing. While the global medical aesthetics business has been
significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for aesthetic
products has declined, the Company's sales teams continues to work with
customers to determine customer demand levels and to support these levels when
consumer recovery occurs. Additionally, the Company will continue to assess
variable sales and marketing expenses, such as direct to consumer advertising,
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company continues to monitor the collectability of receivables as a result
of our customers' financial circumstances. The Company's global medical
aesthetics business sells to practitioners who service consumers on a local,
regional or national level. As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts their businesses,
it may also impact their ability to pay their outstanding invoices. This would
have a negative impact on the Company's account receivable balance, bad debt
expenses recognized in general and administrative expenses, and
liquidity. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded
incremental provisions for bad debts of approximately $30.0 million as we have
assessed the impact on the COVID-19 pandemic on our US and international
customer bases. The Company will continue to monitor the impact the pandemic has
on the Company's ability to collect customer receivables.

Net Revenues

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The decrease in net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was
primarily driven by declines in sales of the Company's Medical Aesthetic
products due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by
increased sales of certain Eye Care products. The declines in the Facial
Aesthetic portfolio, Breast Implants, and Coolsculpting Consumables resulted
from a reduction in elective procedures in the US during the latter part of the
three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of local government restrictions,
including social distancing, "shelter in place orders" and business closures.
Rapaflo® revenues declined primarily due to a loss of exclusivity.  The increase
in Eye Care was driven by Restasis® and demand growth in Eye Drops during the
quarter. The increase in Coolsculpting Systems was driven by the CoolTone
launch.



As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company anticipates a significant
decline in the Medical Aesthetics net revenues in the second quarter of
2020. The overall full year reduction in these revenues will be determined by
the duration of government restrictions, future economic conditions, and any
potential future changes in consumer behavior related to medical aesthetics
products, all of which are largely uncertain at this time.

Cost of Sales

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

The increase in cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to product mix.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The increase in selling and marketing expenses in the three months ended March
31, 2020 was primarily related to increased promotional costs and sales force
expansion for Eye Care products for anticipated launches, including Durysta™.

General and Administrative Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

General and administrative expenses were consistent period over period.

As previously described, the closing of the divestiture of Zenpep® is contingent upon the closing of the AbbVie Transaction and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Net Revenues

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The increase in net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was
primarily due to growth in CNS offset, in part, by a decline in GI and Women's
Health revenues. CNS revenues increased primarily due to strong demand growth
for Vraylar® and Viibryd® and the launch of Ubrelvy® during the first quarter of
2020. Women's Health revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in the
average net selling price for Lo Loestrin® and the impact of products losing
exclusivity. GI was negatively affected by the loss of exclusivity for
Carafate®/Sulcrate® and the continuing genericization and a temporary supply
disruption for Asacol®, offset, in part, by an increase in demand growth for
Linzess®.

Cost of Sales

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

The increase in cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in net revenues and product mix.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The increase in selling and marketing expenses in the three months ended March
31, 2020 was primarily due to field force investments and increased promotional
costs for newly launched, including Ubrelvy™, and promoted products.

General and Administrative Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

General and administrative expenses were consistent period over period.

Net Revenues

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The decrease in net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was
primarily driven by lower sales of the Company's Medical Aesthetic products due
to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic particularly in the Asia Pacific region
where the impact occurred earlier in the quarter than other regions The declines
in the Facial Aesthetic portfolio were due to decreased demand as a result of
national and local government requirements around social distancing, "shelter in
place" orders and business closures.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company anticipates a significant
decline in the Medical Aesthetics net revenues to continue in the second quarter
of 2020. The overall full year reduction in revenues will be determined by the
duration of government restrictions, future economic conditions, and any
potential future changes in consumer behavior related to medical aesthetics
products, all of which are largely uncertain at this time.

Cost of Sales

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The increase in cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects
inventory provisions totaling approximately $10.0 million as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

ended March 31, 2020 period over period as a result of an increase in bad debt

Effective tax rate          125.5 %       2.8 %



Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019



The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was a
benefit of 125.5%, compared to a benefit of 2.8% for the three months ended
March 31, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020
was favorably impacted by a tax benefit of $1.9 billion related to the decrease
of certain deferred tax liabilities. The decrease resulted from the intra-entity
transfer of intellectual property between entities under common control. As a
result of this transfer, a deferred tax asset of $1.2 billion was recognized for
the difference between the tax basis in the buyer's jurisdiction and the net
book value of the intellectual property as reported in the consolidated
financial statements. However, based on the Company's evaluation of the
realizability of this deferred tax asset, the Company determined that it is not
more-likely-than-not that the $1.2 billion deferred tax asset will be realizable
as of March 31, 2020 and therefore this amount was offset by a full valuation
allowance. The effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the goodwill
impairment charge of $913.0 million, for which no tax benefit was recorded.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was favorably
impacted by a tax benefit of $91.5 million related to excess tax over book basis
in a U.S. subsidiary that will reverse in the foreseeable future. The effective
tax rate was unfavorably impacted by a goodwill impairment charge of $2,467.0
million, for which no tax benefit was recorded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily impacted by a tax benefit
recorded in the first quarter of 2020 for the decrease of certain deferred tax
liabilities.

  • The Company paid dividends of $243.5 million; and

• The Company repaid the scheduled maturities of the $3,026.0 million notes

during the quarter ending March 31, 2020.

Cash Flows

The Company's cash flows are summarized as follows ($ in millions):





                                                      Three Months Ended March 31,
                                                   2020           2019         $ Change
Net cash provided by operating activities       $    116.5     $  1,234.0     $ (1,117.5 )

activities                                      $  1,679.1     $   (104.8 )   $  1,783.9
Net cash (used in) financing activities         $ (3,268.4 )   $ (1,227.0 )   $ (2,041.4 )




Cash flows from operations represent net income adjusted for certain non-cash
items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating
activities decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2020 versus the prior
year period as a result of legal settlements payments of approximately $900.0
million, which were accrued as of December 31, 2019 and the impact of COVID-19.

The current balance of cash and marketable securities on hand as of March 31,
2020 was $2,618.3 million. While the ultimate duration and recovery period of
the COVID-19 pandemic presents inherent challenges to predict with certainty the
overall impact on the Company's liquidity needs, management expects that
available cash balances and the remaining 2020 cash flows from operating
activities will provide sufficient resources to fund our operating liquidity
needs and expected capital expenditure funding requirements for at least the
next twelve months. The Company also has the ability to borrow under its
existing $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, which should provide sufficient
additional resources to meet any further current liquidity needs. As of March
31, 2020, the Company does not anticipate utilizing the facility to fund
liquidity needs.
