BAUSCH HEALTH COMPANIES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bausch Health Companies Inc. (the “Company” or “Bausch Health”) is a global, diversified specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets, primarily in the therapeutic areas of gastroenterology (“GI”), hepatology, neurology and dermatology, a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products and aesthetic medical devices, and, through its approximately 88% ownership of Bausch + Lomb Corporation (“Bausch + Lomb” or “B+L”), branded, and branded generic pharmaceuticals, OTC products and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment) in the therapeutic areas of eye health. The Company’s products are marketed directly or indirectly in approximately 90 countries.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) on February 22, 2024. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Separation of the Bausch + Lomb Eye Health Business
On August 6, 2020, the Company announced its plan to separate its eye health business, consisting of its Bausch + Lomb global Vision Care, Surgical and Pharmaceuticals businesses into an independent publicly traded entity, Bausch + Lomb, from the remainder of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (the “B+L Separation”). As part of this plan, in May 2022, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch Health sold common shares of Bausch + Lomb pursuant to an initial public offering of Bausch + Lomb (the “B+L IPO”). Following the B+L IPO, Bausch Health indirectly holds 310,449,643 common shares of Bausch + Lomb, which represents approximately 88% of B+L’s outstanding common shares as of September 30, 2024.
The completion of the full B+L Separation, which may include the transfer of all or a portion of the Company’s remaining direct or indirect equity interest in Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders (the “Distribution”), the monetization of all or a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in Bausch + Lomb, or a combination thereof, is subject to the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios and the receipt of any applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals. The Company continues to evaluate all relevant factors and considerations related to completing the B+L Separation, including the Xifaxan® Generics Litigation (see “Xifaxan® Paragraph IV Proceedings” of Note 17, “LEGAL PROCEEDINGS”).
The B+L IPO established two separate companies that include: (i) a diversified pharmaceutical company comprised of the Salix, International, Diversified (neurology, dermatology, generic and dentistry pharmaceutical products), and Solta Medical aesthetic medical device businesses and (ii) a fully integrated eye health company which consists of the Bausch + Lomb Vision Care, Surgical and Pharmaceuticals businesses. Other than the effects of the B+L IPO described above, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to give effect to the B+L Separation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the differences could be material.
On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by

6

management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s results of operations and financial position could be materially impacted.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
New Accounting Standards
There were no new accounting standards adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of September 30, 2024
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation and modifies certain other income tax-related disclosures. The enhanced income tax related disclosures required by ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company beginning with its 2025 annual report. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company beginning with its 2024 annual report, and its interim periods beginning in 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its disclosures.
3.REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from product sales, primarily in the therapeutic areas of GI, hepatology, neurology, dermatology and eye health, that consist of: (i) branded pharmaceuticals, (ii) generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, (iii) OTC products and (iv) medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment and aesthetic medical devices). Other revenues include alliance and service revenue from the licensing and co-promotion of products and contract service revenue which is derived primarily from contract manufacturing for third parties and which is not material. See Note 18, “SEGMENT INFORMATION” for the disaggregation of revenue which depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by the economic factors of each category of customer contracts.
Product Sales Provisions
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. The transaction price for product sales is typically adjusted for variable consideration, which may be in the form of cash discounts, allowances, returns, rebates, chargebacks and distribution fees paid to customers. Provisions for variable consideration are established to reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.
Provisions for these deductions are recorded concurrently with the recognition of gross product sales revenue and include cash discounts and allowances, chargebacks, and distribution fees, which are paid to direct customers, as well as rebates and returns, which can be paid to direct and indirect customers. Returns provision balances and volume discounts to direct customers are included in Accrued and other current liabilities. All other provisions related to direct customers are included in Trade receivables, net, while provision balances related to indirect customers are included in Accrued and other current liabilities.
The Company continually monitors its variable consideration provisions and evaluates the estimates used as additional information becomes available. Adjustments will be made to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results. The Company is required to make subjective judgments based primarily on its evaluation of current market conditions and trade inventory levels related to the Company’s products. This evaluation may result in an increase or decrease in the experience rate that is applied to current and future sales, or require an adjustment related to past sales, or both. If the trend in actual

7

amounts of variable consideration varies from the Company’s prior estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates when such trend is believed to be sustainable. At that time, the Company would record the necessary adjustments which would affect net product revenue and earnings reported in the current period. The Company applies this method consistently for contracts with similar characteristics.
The following tables present the activity and ending balances of the Company’s variable consideration provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

4.LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS
Licensing Agreements
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into select licensing and collaborative agreements for the commercialization and/or development of unique products. These products are sometimes investigational treatments in early stage development that target unique conditions. The ultimate outcome, including whether the product will be: (i) fully developed, (ii) approved by regulatory agencies, (iii) covered by third-party payors or (iv) profitable for distribution, is highly uncertain. The commitment periods under these agreements vary and include customary termination provisions. Expenses arising from commitments, if any, to fund the development and testing of these products and their promotion are recognized as incurred. Royalties due are recognized when earned and milestone payments are accrued when each milestone has been achieved and payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
2024 Acquisitions
During July 2024, Bausch + Lomb, through an affiliate, acquired TearLab Corporation, d/b/a Trukera Medical from its private equity owner, AccelMed Partners, and other shareholders. Trukera Medical, a U.S.-based privately held ophthalmic medical diagnostic company, commercializes ScoutPro®, a point-of-care portable device for precisely measuring osmolarity, the salt content of a person’s tears. This acquisition is expected to expand Bausch + Lomb’s presence in the dry eye market. The acquisition of Trukera Medical has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As of the acquisition date (July 19, 2024), Bausch + Lomb allocated the aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $24 million based on estimated fair values, which included recording $16 million of identifiable intangible assets, $6 million of other net assets and $2 million of goodwill. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included within Bausch + Lomb’s Surgical business. Revenues and operating results associated with Trukera Medical during the period from July 19, 2024 through September 30, 2024 were not material. Pro-forma revenues and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.
2023 Acquisitions
Acquisition of XIIDRA®
On June 30, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch + Lomb, Bausch + Lomb Ireland Limited, entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Finance Corporation (together with Novartis Pharma AG, “Novartis”) and, solely for purposes of guaranteeing certain obligations of the acquiring entity under the Acquisition Agreement, Bausch + Lomb, to acquire XIIDRA® (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) and certain other ophthalmology assets (the “XIIDRA Acquisition”).
On September 29, 2023, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Bausch + Lomb, through its affiliate, consummated the XIIDRA Acquisition for: (i) an upfront cash payment of $1,750 million, (ii) the assumption of certain pre-existing milestone payments and (iii) potential future milestone obligations. As of the acquisition date, Bausch + Lomb recognized contingent consideration liabilities of $34 million, in the aggregate, related to assumed pre-existing milestones and potential future milestones. The Company reassesses its acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities each quarter for changes in fair value. See Note 6, “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS” for additional information regarding the fair value assessment of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. The XIIDRA Acquisition complements Bausch + Lomb’s existing dry eye franchise that includes eye and contact lens drops from Bausch + Lomb’s consumer brand franchises and novel treatments within its pharmaceutical business such as MIEBO® (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution). The XIIDRA Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included within Bausch + Lomb’s Pharmaceuticals business.
As of the acquisition date, Bausch + Lomb allocated the aggregate purchase consideration of $1,753 million based on estimated fair values, which included recording $1,600 million of identifiable intangible assets, $130 million of other net assets, and $23 million of goodwill. See Note 4, “LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS” in the Annual Report for additional information regarding the XIIDRA Acquisition, including further details regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of the Company and the acquired assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as if the XIIDRA Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)20232023
Revenues$2,302 $6,598 
Net loss$(466)$(783)
Net loss attributable to Bausch Health Companies Inc.$(448)$(732)
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of the Company and the acquired assets. In order to reflect the occurrence of the acquisition on January 1, 2023 as required, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect amortization expense of the identifiable intangible assets acquired, the incremental cost of products sold related to the fair value adjustments associated with the terms of an interim contract to purchase inventory, as embedded within the agreements associated with the XIIDRA Acquisition, elimination of historical impairments and accretion expenses related to historical contingent considerations recorded by Novartis, the recording of new/assumed contingent consideration accretion expense, the additional interest expense associated with the issuance of debt to finance the acquisition and the tax impact of each of the aforementioned adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations would have been had the XIIDRA Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2023. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not a projection of future results of operations of the combined company nor does it reflect the expected realization of any synergies or cost savings associated with the acquisition.
Acquisition of Blink® Product Line

Bausch + Lomb recorded an initial acquisition-related contingent consideration liability of approximately $5 million.
5.RESTRUCTURING, INTEGRATION AND SEPARATION COSTS
Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company evaluates opportunities to improve its operating results and implement cost savings programs to streamline its operations and eliminate redundant processes and expenses. Restructuring and integration costs are expenses associated with the implementation of these cost savings programs and include expenses associated with: (i) reducing headcount, (ii) eliminating real estate costs associated with unused or under-utilized facilities and (iii) implementing contribution margin improvement and other cost reduction initiatives.
The Company incurred $23 million and $37 million of restructuring and integration costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Separation Costs and Separation-related Costs
The Company has incurred, and will incur costs associated with activities relating to the B+L Separation. These B+L Separation activities include separating the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of the Company. Separation costs are incremental costs directly related to the B+L Separation and include, but are not limited to legal, audit and advisory fees.

Separation costs included in Restructuring, integration and separation costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are $2 million and $3 million, respectively.
The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, incremental costs with respect to the B+L Separation. These separation-related costs include, but are not limited to rebranding costs and costs associated with facility relocation and/or modification. Included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are separation-related costs of $9 million and $18 million, respectively.
The extent and timing of future charges of these costs to complete the B+L Separation cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and could be material.
6.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following fair value hierarchy table presents the components and classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
 September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
(in millions)TotalLevel 1Level 2Level 3TotalLevel 1Level 2Level 3
Assets:

Cross-currency swaps$94 $ $94 $ $84 $ $84 $ 
Foreign currency exchange contracts$5 $ $5 $ $6 $ $6 $ 
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, primarily money market funds, with maturities of three months or less when purchased, and are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024 includes $350 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held by legal entities of Bausch + Lomb. Cash held by Bausch + Lomb legal entities and any future cash from the operating, investing and financing activities of Bausch + Lomb is expected to be retained by Bausch + Lomb entities and is generally not available to support the operations, investing and financing activities of other legal entities, including Bausch Health unless paid as a dividend which would be determined by the Board of Directors of Bausch + Lomb and paid pro rata to Bausch + Lomb’s shareholders.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 assets or liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cross-currency Swaps
In 2022, Bausch + Lomb entered into cross-currency swaps, with aggregate notional amounts of $1,000 million, to mitigate fluctuation in the value of a portion of its euro-denominated net investment from fluctuation in exchange rates. The euro-denominated net investment being hedged is Bausch + Lomb’s investment in certain Bausch + Lomb euro-denominated

subsidiaries. Bausch + Lomb’s cross-currency swaps qualify for and have been designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation and are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in their fair values.
The assets and liabilities associated with Bausch + Lomb’s cross-currency swaps as included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received $13 million in interest settlements, which are reported as investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in their fair values determined using forward rates, which are observable market inputs, multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are economically hedging the foreign exchange exposure on certain of the Company’s intercompany balances. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts had an aggregate notional amount of $664 million.
