of certain intercompany balances between Bausch + Lomb and BHC that were collected by BHC in the first quarter of 2022 on behalf of Bausch
+ Lomb. The Company does not anticipate that these factors will have such a significant impact on cash flow from operations in future

for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.24, as compared to $0.27 for the first quarter of 2021.
EBITDA (non-GAAP)1 was $170 million for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $198 million for the first quarter
of 2021, a decrease of $28 million, primarily due to foreign exchange headwinds and the impact from the COVID-19 lockdown in China, partially
offset by strong organic2 revenue growth.

than with respect to GAAP Revenues, the Company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation
of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)1 to GAAP net income (loss) or of forward-looking organic growth1,2
to reported revenue growth, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such
reconciliations. These amounts may be material and, therefore, could result in the projected GAAP measure or ratio being materially different
or less than the projected non-GAAP measure or ratio. These statements represent forward-looking information and may not represent a
financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-looking Statements section
of this news release.
