NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - General
Allergan plc is a global pharmaceutical leader focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing branded pharmaceutical, device, biologic, surgical and regenerative medicine products for patients around the world. Allergan markets a portfolio of leading brands and best-in-class products primarily focused on four key therapeutic areas including medical aesthetics, eye care, central nervous system and gastroenterology. The Company has operations in more than 100 countries.
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. The AbbVie Transaction is anticipated to close in early 2020.
On October 25, 2019, in connection with the AbbVie Transaction, AbbVie commenced an offer 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 is concurrently soliciting 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. The exchange offer and consent solicitations are conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the AbbVie Transaction. The exchange offers are expected to close on or about the closing date of the AbbVie Transaction.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, included as Exhibit 99.1 to AbbVie's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 16, 2019 that includes Item 8.01 and 9.01 disclosure. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying year end consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to AbbVie's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 16, 2019 that includes Item 8.01 and 9.01 disclosure. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive (loss) / income and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's results of operations, comprehensive (loss) / income and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations, comprehensive (loss) / income and cash flows that it may achieve in future periods.
References throughout to "we," "our," "us," the "Company" or "Allergan" refer to financial information and transactions of Allergan plc.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following are interim updates to certain of the policies described in "Note 3" of the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Implementation of New Guidance
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition approach applied to all leases existing at the effective date of initial application of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting practices and the disclosures under the new standard are not required for dates and periods prior to January 1, 2019.
When evaluating whether a contract contains a lease under the new standard, Allergan considers whether (1) the contract explicitly or implicitly identifies assets that are contractually defined and (2) the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company does not have the right to use an identified asset if the supplier has the substantive right to substitute the asset throughout the period without the Company's approval.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical expedients' which permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter was not applicable to the Company.
This standard has a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet but did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations. The most significant effects relate to the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our real estate and fleet operating leases.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets as follows ($ in millions):
ROU Asset Lease Liability
Real estate $ 304.2 $ 370.6
Fleet 100.4 100.4
Other 57.5 77.6
Total operating leases $ 462.1 $ 548.6
The cumulative effective adjustment as of the effective date of $22.0 million was recorded to opening retained earnings. The Company has an immaterial amount of finance leases.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity's ongoing accounting. The Company elected the lease recognition exemption for all leases with lease terms of 12 months or less. For leases that qualify under this exception, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities and did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for leases of real estate, fleet, IT and office equipment.
Refer to "NOTE 12 - Leases" for further information related to the Company's leases.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update allows for the optional reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amount of the reclassification is calculated as the difference between the historical and newly enacted tax rates on deferred taxes originally recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019; however, due to the immaterial amount of the stranded tax effects, the Company elected not to reclassify the income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Tax effects unrelated to the TCJA are released from accumulated other comprehensive income using either the specific identification approach or the portfolio approach based on the nature of the underlying item.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018. The new standard required modified retrospective adoption through 2018 beginning Retained Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This was incorrectly recorded as a loss through Other Comprehensive Income of $63.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. This was corrected during 2018 and therefore, has no impact on the annual consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that the adjustment was not material to any previously reported interim period. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 has been adjusted to correct for this error.
Revenue Recognition
ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Topic 606") provides that revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods under a contract is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods as specified in the underlying terms with the customer. The Company warrants products against defects and for specific quality standards, permitting the return of products under certain circumstances. Product sales are recorded net of all sales-related deductions including, but not limited to: chargebacks, trade discounts, commercial and government rebates, customer loyalty programs, fee-for-service arrangements with certain distributors, returns, and other allowances which we refer to in the aggregate as sales returns and allowances ("SRA").
The Company's performance obligations are primarily achieved when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Transfer of control is based on contractual performance obligations, but typically occurs upon receipt of the goods by the customer as that is when the customer has obtained control of significantly all of the economic benefits.
Refer to "NOTE 7 - Reportable Segments" for our revenues disaggregated by product and segment and our revenues disaggregated by geography for our international segment. We believe this level of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The following table summarizes the activity from operations in the Company's major categories of SRA ($ in millions):

Collectability Assessment
At the time of contract inception or customer account set-up, the Company performs a collectability assessment on the creditworthiness of such customer. The Company assesses the probability that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods sold. In evaluating collectability, the Company considers the customer's ability and intention to pay consideration when it is due. On a recurring basis, the Company estimates the amount of receivables considered uncollectible after sale to the customer to reflect allowances for doubtful accounts. Provision for bad debts, included in general and administrative expenses, were $19.0 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Provision for bad debts, included in general and administrative expenses, were $26.3 million and $14.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including Reporting Unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of its Reporting Units and perform a quantitative test as of the measurement date of the test.
Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. Impairment, if any, would be recorded in operating income / (loss) and this could result in a material impact to net income / (loss) and income / (loss) per share.
Prior to Allergan's 2018 annual impairment test, the Company adopted the new guidance under Accounting Standard Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment which eliminated step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment loss. A goodwill impairment loss under the new guidance is instead measured using a single step test based on the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") intangible assets represent the value assigned to research and development ("R&D") projects acquired in a business combination that, as of the date acquired, represent the right to develop, use, sell and/or offer for sale a product or other intellectual property that has not been completed or approved. The IPR&D intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of each project. Upon abandonment, the assets are impaired if there is no future alternative use or ability to sell the asset. Impairment testing requires management to develop significant estimates and assumptions involving the determination of the fair value of the IPR&D asset, including estimated revenues, the probability of success of the project, determination of the appropriate discount rate, assessment of the asset's life, potential regulatory risks, and net revenue growth curve assumptions. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of IPR&D projects include legal risk, market risk and regulatory risk. Changes in our assumptions could result in future impairment charges. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project and commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Upon successful completion of each project and approval of a product, we will make a separate determination of the useful life of the intangible asset, transfer the amount to currently marketed products ("CMP") and amortization expense will be recorded over the estimated useful life.
Refer to "NOTE 10 -Goodwill, Product Rights, and Other Intangible Assets" for further discussion on the Company's goodwill and intangible assets balances and impairments.
Earnings Per Share ("EPS")
The Company computes EPS in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" ("ASC 260") and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during a period. Diluted EPS is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of ordinary shares, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units. Ordinary share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS follows ($ in millions, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2019 2018 2019 2018
Net (loss):
Net (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders $ (786.8 ) $ (37.9 ) $ (4,953.8 ) $ (842.9 )
Basic weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 328.0 339.0 329.3 337.6
Basic EPS:
Net (loss) per share $ (2.40 ) $ (0.11 ) $ (15.04 ) $ (2.50 )
Dividends per ordinary share $ 0.74 $ 0.72 $ 2.22 $ 2.16
Diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 328.0 339.0 329.3 337.6
Diluted EPS:
Net (loss) per share $ (2.40 ) $ (0.11 ) $ (15.04 ) $ (2.50 )
Stock awards to purchase 2.2 million and 1.8 million ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because the awards were anti-dilutive. No shares were repurchased in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The impact of the 5.3 million shares repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on basic EPS was 3.8 million weighted average shares.
Stock awards to purchase 2.7 million and 2.3 million ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because the awards were anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased shares under its share repurchase programs. The impact of the 2.4 million and 12.0 million shares repurchased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 on basic EPS was 0.5 million and 7.2 million, respectively.
The Company's preferred shares were mandatorily converted to ordinary shares on March 1, 2018. The weighted average impact of ordinary share equivalents of 3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which would result from the mandatory conversion of the Company's preferred shares at the beginning of the period, were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
Refer to "NOTE 15 -Shareholders' Equity" for further discussion on the Company's share repurchase programs.
