SHIRE PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation 

These interim financial statements of Shire plc and its subsidiaries (collectively “Shire” or the “Company”) are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)(U.S. GAAP).

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 20162017 was derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date.

These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2017.20, 2018.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

On June 3, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Baxalta for $32.4 billion, representing the fair value of purchase consideration. The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Baxalta from the date of acquisition. For further details regarding the acquisition, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, of these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity at the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and methodologies. Estimates are based on historical experience, current conditions, and on various other assumptions that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

New Accounting Pronouncements 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)(FASB) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Adopted during the current period 

Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017, which did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.


Share-Based Payment Accounting

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard requires recognition of the income tax effects of vested or settled awards in the income statement and involves several other aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows and allows a one-time accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard was effective January 1, 2017.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. Before adoption, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from the Company's equity awards were recorded as Additional paid-in capital in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon adoption, the Company recorded any excess tax benefits or deficiencies from its equity awards in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the reporting periods in which vesting or settlement occurs.

Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits have been adopted prospectively, resulting in recognition of excess tax benefits against Income taxes rather than Additional paid-in capital of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded an adjustment to Retained earnings of $39.0 million to recognize net operating loss carryforwards attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized to Additional paid-in capital.

Excess tax benefits for share-based payments are now included in Net cash provided by operating activities rather than Net cash provided by financing activities. The changes have been applied prospectively in accordance with the ASU and prior periods have not been adjusted.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company elected to account for forfeitures in relation to service conditions as they occur. The change was applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained earnings of $10.7 million as of January 1, 2017.

Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The Company adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2017.

To be adopted in future periods

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment. This new standard simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. This standard will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted for annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes. The FASB subsequently issued several additional ASUs amending the guidance and deferred effective date to January 1, 2018. This standard applies to all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The newcontracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements, and financial instruments. Under this accounting standard, requires a company to recognizean entity recognizes revenue when it transfersits customer obtains control of promised goods or services, to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration thatwhich the companyentity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures.


In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.

The FASB has subsequently issued five additional ASUs amending the guidance in Topic 606, each with the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2018. This amended guidance has been considered in the Company’s overall assessment of the new standard.

Shire will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company recognized the cumulative-effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase Retained earnings by $52.0 million, net of tax of $15.6 million. The Company is currently evaluatingmodified retrospective transition method was applied only to the potential impact on its financial position and resultscontracts that were not completed as of operationsthe adoption date.


For a complete discussion of accounting for revenue with customers, refer to Note 2, Revenue Recognition, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.    Business CombinationsRevenue Recognition

Acquisition of Baxalta

On June 3, 2016, Shire acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Baxalta for $18.00 per share in cash and 0.1482 Shire American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) per Baxalta share, or if a former Baxalta shareholder properly elected, 0.4446 Shire ordinary shares per Baxalta share. 

Baxalta was a global biopharmaceutical company that focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing therapies for orphan diseases and underserved conditions in hematology, immunology and oncology.

The purchase price consideration for the acquisition of Baxalta was finalized in the second quarter of 2017. The fair value of the purchase price consideration consisted of the following: 
(In millions)Fair value
Cash paid to shareholders$12,366.7
Fair value of stock issued to shareholders19,353.2
Fair value of partially vested stock options and RSUs assumed508.8
Contingent consideration payable165.0
Total purchase price consideration$32,393.7

The acquisition of Baxalta was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Shire issued 305.2 million shares to former Baxalta shareholders at the date of the acquisition. For a more detailed description of the fair value of the partially vested stock options and RSUs assumed, refer to Note 27, Share-based Compensation Plans, of Shire's 2016 Form 10-K. 

The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Baxalta have been recorded at their fair value as of June 3, 2016, the date of acquisition. The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included the results of Baxalta from the date of acquisition.

The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Baxalta was finalized in the second quarter of 2017. The Company's allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including measurement period adjustments, is outlined below.

The measurement period adjustments for Intangible assets reflect changes in the estimated fair value of currently marketed products and IPR&D. Changes are mainly related to finalizing the unit of account judgments and other changes in estimates including Cost of sales allocation and royalty expense. The measurement period adjustments for Inventory primarily reflect refinements in the estimated selling price of inventory. The changes in the estimated fair values primarily are to more accurately reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date.

As a result of measurement period adjustments related to the change in fair value of currently marketed products and inventory, a charge of $85.2 million was recognized in Cost of sales and a benefit of $23.3 million was recognized in Amortization of acquired intangible assets, respectively, in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments would have been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016 if these adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition date.


Intangible assets

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using an income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the incremental after tax cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The useful lives for currently marketed products were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the assets that are expected to contribute to future cash flows.

Currently marketed products totaling $21,165.0 million relate to intellectual property (“IP”) rights acquired for Baxalta’s currently marketed products. The estimated useful life of the intangible assets related to currently marketed products range from 6 to 23 years (weighted average 21 years), with amortization being recorded on a straight-line basis.

IPR&D intangible assets totaling $160.0 million represent the value assigned to research and development ("R&D") projects acquired. The IPR&D intangible assets are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, the Company will make a separate determination of the estimated useful life of the IPR&D intangible asset and the related amortization will be recorded as an expense over the estimated useful life. 

Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, working capital/asset contributory asset charges and other cash flow assumptions), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors.

The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the IPR&D intangible assets was 9.5% to reflect the internal rate of return and incremental commercial uncertainty in the cash flow projections. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $12,498.6 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes, includes the expected synergies that will result from combining the operations of Baxalta with Shire, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the time of the acquisition, the value of the assembled workforce, and impacted by establishing a deferred tax liability for the acquired identifiable intangible assets which have no tax basis.

Contingent considerationProduct Revenue, Net

The Company acquired certain contingent obligationssells its products to major pharmaceutical wholesalers, and distributors, and retail pharmacy chains (collectively, its "Customers"). These Customers subsequently resell the Company’s products to healthcare providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with healthcare providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. 

Revenues from Product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control, typically upon delivery. When the terms of the contract include customer acceptance provisions, the Company defers revenue recognition until the customer has accepted the goods, unless the acceptance provision relates only to objective specifications which the Company can determine will be met upon shipment. Customer acceptance provisions include temperature checks, government inspections, and other quality control tests. Shipping and handling and fulfillment costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Estimates of Variable Consideration

Revenues from Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for reserves related to statutory rebates to State Medicaid and other government agencies; Medicare Part D rebates; commercial rebates and fees to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), distributors, and specialty pharmacies; product returns; sales discounts (including trade discounts); distribution service fees; wholesaler chargebacks; and allowances for coupon and patient assistance programs relating to the Company’s sales of its products.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. Management's estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves 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 net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. If actual

results vary, the Company may adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.
Trade discounts are generally credits granted to wholesalers, specialty pharmacies, and other customers for remitting payment on their purchases within established incentive periods and are classified as contingent considerationa reduction of accounts receivable, offset by revenue in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
Chargebacks are credits or payments issued to Baxalta’s historical business combinations. Additional consideration is conditionally due uponwholesalers and other distributors who provide products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the achievement of certain milestones relatedlist prices charged to the development, regulatory, first commercial sale andwholesalers or other sales milestones, which could total up to approximately $1.5 billion. The Company may also pay royaltiesdistributors. Reserves are estimated based on certain product sales. The Company estimatedexpected purchases by those qualified healthcare providers. Chargeback reserves are classified as a reduction of accounts receivable in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
Distribution service fees are credits or payments issued to wholesalers, distributors, and specialty pharmacies for compliance with various contractually-defined inventory management practices or services provided to support patient access to a product. These fees are generally based on a percentage of gross purchases but can also be based on additional services these entities provide. Most of these costs are reflected as a reduction of gross sales; however, to the extent benefit from services can be separately identified and the fair value determined, costs are classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses. Distribution service fees reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and are classified within accrued expenses.
Medicaid rebates are payments to States under statutory and voluntary reimbursement arrangements. Reserves for these rebates are generally based on an estimate of expected product usage by Medicaid patients and expected rebate rates. Statutory rates are generally based on a percentage of selling price adjusted upwards for price increases in excess of published inflation indices. As a result, rebates generally increase as a percentage of the assumed contingent consideration to be $165.0 million using a probability weighting approach that consideredselling price over the possible outcomes based on assumptions related to the timing and probabilitylife of the product launch date, discount(as prices increase). Medicaid rebate reserves are estimated based on individual product purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Managed care rebates are payments to third parties, primarily pharmacy benefit managers, and other health insurance providers. The reserve for these rebates is based on an estimate of customer buying patterns and applicable contractual rebate rates matched to the timing of first payment and probability of success rates and discount adjustmentsbe earned over each period. Managed care rebates reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Incentive rebates are generally credits or payments issued to specialty pharmacies, distributors, or Group Purchasing Organizations for qualified purchases of certain products. Incentive rebate reserves are estimated based on the terms of each individual contract and purchase volumes and are classified within accrued expenses.
Other discounts and allowances include Medicare rebates, coupon, and patient co-pay assistance. Medicare rebates are payments to health insurance providers of Medicare Part D coverage to qualified patients. Reserve estimates are based on customer buying patterns and applicable contractual rebate rates to be earned over each period. Coupon and co-pay assistance programs provide discounts to qualified patients. Reserve estimates are based on expected claim volumes under these programs and estimated cost per claim that the Company expects to pay. Reserves for Medicare and coupon and patient co-pay programs are classified within accrued expenses
Product Returns: The Company typically accepts customer product returns in the following circumstances: (a) expiration of shelf life on certain products; (b) product damaged while in the Company’s possession; (c) under sales terms that allow for unconditional return (guaranteed sales); or (d) following product recalls or product withdrawals. Generally, returns for expired product are accepted three months before and up to one year after the expiration date of the related product and the related product is destroyed after it is returned. Depending on the product and the Company’s return policy with respect to that product, the Company may either refund the sales price paid by the customer by issuance of a credit, or exchange the returned product with replacement inventory. The Company typically does not provide cash flows. refunds. The Company estimates the proportion of recorded revenue that will result in a return by considering relevant factors, including but not limited to:
historical returns experience;
the duration of time taken for products to be returned;

Inventorythe estimated level of inventory in the distribution channel;
product recalls and discontinuances;
the shelf life of products;
the launch of new drugs or new formulations; and
the loss of patent protection, exclusivity or new competition.

The estimated fair valueestimation process for product returns involves, in each case, a number of work-in-processinterrelating assumptions, which vary for each combination of product and finished goods inventory was determined utilizingcustomer.

Retirement plans Royalties and other revenues

The Company assumed pension plansenters into agreements, where it licenses certain rights to its products to customers. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments is recognized as Royalties and other revenues.

As part of the acquisition of Baxalta, including defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plansaccounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop estimates that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, identified in the U.S.contract. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and foreign jurisdictions, which had a net liability balanceprobabilities of $610.4 million. As of June 3, 2016, the Baxalta defined benefit pension plans had assets with a fair value of $358.5 million. technical, regulatory and commercial success.

IntegrationLicenses of intellectual property: If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees when the license is transferred to the licensee and acquisition coststhe licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. If the performance obligation is satisfied over time, the Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Measures of progress for revenue recognition vary depending on the nature of the performance obligation.

InMilestone Payments: At the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company expensed $238.1 million and $548.6 million, respectively, relating toevaluates the acquisition and integrationrecognition of Baxalta, which have been recordedmilestone payments.

Acquisition of Dyax

On January 22, 2016, Shire acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Dyax for $37.30 per share in cash. Under the terms of the merger agreement, former Dyax shareholders may receive additional value through a non-tradable contingent value right worth $4.00 per share, payable upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of SHP643 (formerly DX-2930) in Hereditary Angioedema (“HAE”).


Dyax was a publicly-traded, Massachusetts-based rare disease biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development of plasma kallikrein (“pKal”) inhibitorsthat customer will pay for the treatmentproduct or services in one year or less of HAE. Dyax’s most advanced clinical program was SHP643, a Phase 3 program with the potential for improved efficacy and convenience for HAE patients. SHP643 has received Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, and Orphan Drug Designations by the FDA and has also received Orphan Drug status in the EU. Dyax’s sole marketed product, KALBITOR, is a pKal inhibitor for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients 12 years of age and older.

The acquisition of Dyax was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The acquisition-date fair value consideration was $6,330.0 million, comprising cash paid on closing of $5,934.0 million and the fair value of the contingent value right of $396.0 million (maximum payable $646.0 million). The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Dyax have been recorded at their fair value as of January 22, 2016, the date of acquisition. The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Dyax as of January 22, 2016.

The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Dyax was finalized in the first quarter of 2017. The allocation of the total purchase price is outlined below.

Currently marketed products totaling $135.0 million relate to intellectual property rights acquired for KALBITOR. The fair value of the currently marketed product has been estimated using an income approach, based on the present value of incremental after tax cash flows attributable to KALBITOR.

The estimated useful life of the KALBITOR intangible asset is 18 years, with amortization being recorded on a straight-line basis. 


IPR&D 

The IPR&D asset of $4,100.0 million relates to Dyax’s clinical program SHP643, a Phase 3 program with the potential for improved efficacy and convenience for HAE patients. The IPR&D intangible asset is capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. The fair value of this IPR&D asset was estimated based on an income approach, using the present value of incremental after tax cash flows expected to be generated by this development project. The estimated cash flows have been probability adjusted to take into account the development stage of completion and the remaining risks and uncertainties surrounding the future development and commercialization. 

The estimated probability adjusted after tax cash flows used to estimate the fair value of intangible assets have been discounted at 9%. 

Royalty rights 

Intangible assets totaling $425.0 million relate to royalty rights arising from licensing agreements of a portfolio of product candidates. This portfolio includes two approved products, marketed by Eli Lilly & Company, and various development-stage products. Multiple product candidates with other pharmaceutical companies are in various stages of clinical development for which the Company is eligible to receive future royalties and/or milestone payments. 

The fair value of these royalty rights has been estimated using an income approach, based on the present value of incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to each royalty right.  

The estimated useful lives of these royalty rights range from seven to nine years (weighted average eight years), with amortization being recorded on a straight-line basis.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $2,702.1 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes, includes the expected synergies that will result from combining the operations of Dyax with Shire; intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the time of the acquisition; the value of the assembled workforce; and impacted by establishing a deferred tax liability for the acquired identifiable intangible assets which have no tax basis.

Beginning January 2018, the Company comprised of two reportable segments: Rare Disease and amortization of intangible assets.Neuroscience. For a more detailed description of measurement period adjustments,information regarding the Company's segments refer to Note 2, Business Combinations,21, Segment Reporting, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the acquisition of Baxalta, the Company acquired IP rights related to currently marketed products of $21,165.0 million, IPR&D assets of $160.0 million and other contract rights of $42.2 million. For a more detailed description of this acquisition, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the acquisition of Dyax on January 22, 2016, the Company acquired IP rights related to currently marketed products of $135.0 million, IPR&D assets of $4,100.0 million and royalty rights of $425.0 million. For a more detailed description of this acquisition, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company reviews its amortized intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Unamortized intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Estimated amortization expense can be affected by various factors including future acquisitions, disposals of product rights, regulatory approval and subsequent amortization of acquired IPR&D projects, foreign exchange movements and the technological advancement and regulatory approval of competitor products. The estimated future amortization of acquired intangible assets for the next five years is expected to be as follows:

Marketable equity and debt securities are included within Investments in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent consideration receivable is included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in thethese Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contingent consideration payable is included within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in thethese Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For information regarding the Company's derivative arrangements, refer to Note 12, Financial Instruments, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The estimated fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument:

Marketable equity securities: the fair values of marketable equity securities are estimated based on quoted market prices for those investments.
Marketable debt securities: the fair values of debt securities are obtained from pricing services or broker/dealers who either use quoted prices in an active market or proprietary pricing applications, which include observable market information for like or same securities.
Contingent consideration receivable: the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable has been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).
Derivative instruments: the fair values of the swap and forward foreign exchange contracts have been determined using the month-end interest rate and foreign exchange rates, respectively.
ContingentJoint venture net written option and contingent consideration payable: the fair value of the contingent consideration payable hasvalues have been estimated using the income approach (using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method).

There were no changes in valuation techniques or inputs utilized or transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017.

The estimated fair values of long-term debt were based upon recent observable market prices and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of capital lease obligations is based on Level 2 inputs. 

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to their short-term nature, such as liquidity and maturity of these amounts, or because there have been no significant changes since the asset or liability was last re-measured to fair value on a non-recurring basis.

12.    Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Contracts

Due to the global nature of its operations, portions of the Company's revenues and operating expenses are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The value of revenues and operating expenses measured in U.S. dollars is therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The main trading currencies of the Company are the U.S. dollar, Euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, and Japanese yen.

Transactional exposure arises where transactions occur in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. It is the Company’s policy that these exposures are minimized to the extent practicable by denominating transactions in the subsidiary’s functional currency. Where significant exposures remain, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts (spot, forward, and swap contracts) to manage the exposure for balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.

The Company has master netting agreements with a number of counterparties to these foreign exchange contracts and on the occurrence of specified events, the Company has the ability to terminate contracts and settle them with a net payment by one party to the other. The Company has elected to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets. The Company does not have credit risk related contingent features or collateral linked to the derivatives.

Designated Foreign Currency Derivatives

Certain foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, to the extent effective, any unrealized gains or losses on these foreign currency forward contracts were reported in AOCI. Realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts were recognized in revenue or cost of sales when the sale of product in the currency being hedged was recognized. To the extent ineffective, hedge transaction gains and losses were reported in Other income/(expense), net.


The Company did not have any designated foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had designated foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional value of $78.7 million, a maximum duration of six months; the fair value of these contracts was a net asset of $4.2 million.

Undesignated Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to certain balance sheet positions, including intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The Company has not elected hedge accounting for these derivative instruments as the duration of these contracts is typically three months or less. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are reported in earnings.

The table below presents the notional amount, maximum duration, and fair value for the undesignated foreign currency derivatives:
(In millions, except duration)September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017

Maximum duration (in months)3 months
 3 months
3 months
 3 months
Fair value - net asset$7.6
 $6.7
Fair value - net (liability)/asset$(1.7) $11.4


The Company considers the impact of its and its counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its contractual obligations. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts.

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company is exposed to the risk that its earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates relating to its debt obligations on which interest is set at floating rates. The Company’s policy is to manage this risk to an acceptable level. The Company is principally exposed to interest rate risk on any borrowings under the Company’s various debt facilities and on part of the senior notes assumed in connection with the acquisition of Baxalta. Interest on each of these debt obligations is set at floating rates, to the extent utilized. Shire’s exposure under these facilities is to changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. For further details related to interest rates on the Company’s various debt facilities, refer to Note 13, Borrowings and Capital Leases, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Designated Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company has elected hedge accounting for interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts are recorded as a component of the senior notes assumed in connection with the acquisition ofunderlying Baxalta Notes with the ineffective portion recorded in Interest expense. Any net interest payments made or received on the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The table below presents the notional amount, maturity, and fair value for the designated interest rate derivatives:

16.    Taxation 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 7% (2017: 2% (2016: 38%) and 4% (2016: 246%), respectively..

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2017 was March 31, 2018 has been affected by certain provisions of the combinedU.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) passed in December 2017, which enacts a U.S. federal tax rate of 21% along with anti-deferral provisions and new limitations on certain deductions required under the Tax Act.  Due to enactment late in the Company’s annual 2017 reporting period, the Company included the provisional amounts in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company continued to assess the impact of the relative quantumTax Act during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and recorded an adjustment of $22.0 million to its provisional estimate related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. This remeasurement reduced the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 by 3%.

It is expected that additional interpretive guidance will be issued that may change how the Company has computed the provisional amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the profit before tax forTax Act during the measurement period by jurisdictionand will record any adjustments to its provisional estimates as well as significant acquisitionneeded during the remainder of 2018 and integration costs. Additionally, certaincontinues to assert that all amounts recorded and disclosed to date remain provisional.

Certain discrete events occurred during the yearQ1 2017 which contributed to the low effective tax rate, including the recording of a net tax benefit associated with the filing of the US returns and the reversal ofrelated to prior period incomeyear tax reserves.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was affected by the combined impact of the relative quantum of the profit before tax by jurisdiction for the period and of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities from the acquisition of Baxalta (including in higher tax territories such as the U.S.) of inventory and intangible assets amortization as well as significant acquisition and integration costs. Additionally, the impact of certain items that arose from the Baxalta acquisition caused significant variations in the estimated effective rate during 2016. As a result, the Company applied a permitted exception to the general rule by including the actual income tax effect for certain portions of its business discretely when it calculated the provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

20.    Legal and Other Proceedings

The Company expenses legal costs when incurred.

The Company recognizes loss contingency provisions for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. When the estimated loss lies within a range, the Company records a loss contingency provision based on its best estimate of the probable loss. If no particular amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount is recorded. Estimates of losses may be developed before the ultimate loss is known, and are therefore refined each accounting period as additional information becomes known. An outcome that deviates from the Company’s estimate may result in an additional expense or release in a future accounting period. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, provision for litigation losses, insurance claims, and other disputes totaled $64.1$79.5 million (December 31, 2016: $415.02017: $76.2 million).

The Company’s principal pending legal and other proceedings are disclosed below. The outcomes of these proceedings are not always predictable and can be affected by various factors. For those legal and other proceedings for which it is considered at least reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the recorded loss contingency provision, if any, where such excess is both material and estimable.

21.Segment Reporting

In 2018, the Company announced a change to its internal structure to create two distinct business segments within Shire: a Rare Disease division and a Neuroscience division. The Rare Disease division focuses on treatments for rare diseases and other conditions with high unmet needs, including immunology, hematology, and genetic diseases. The Neuroscience division focuses on treatments of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and certain other disorders.

The change was based on the Board's conclusion that the Neuroscience business warrants additional focus and investment and that there was a strong business rationale for creating the two divisions. As a result, the Company now reports its financial performance based on its new segments: Rare Disease and Neuroscience. This is consistent with how the financial information is viewed for the purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting future periods and how the operations are managed by the Executive Committee, (Shire’s chief operating decision maker). Comparative financial information for 2017 was retrospectively restated herein.

The Executive Committee evaluates segment performance for its two operating segments based on Segment contribution. There are no intersegment sales or intersegment allocations of expenses. Segment contribution for each segment represents Total revenues less Cost of sales, direct selling and marketing expenses, and direct R&D expenses.

The Company does not include the following items in Segment contribution:

• certain unallocated shared functional costs;
• general and administrative expenses;
• amortization and depreciation expense; and
• other items such as asset impairment charges, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges, costs related licensing arrangement, and other non-recurring or unusual charges.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker does not receive any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by operating segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s funding requirements depend on a number of factors, including the timing and extent of its development programs; corporate, business, and product acquisitions; the level of resources required for the expansion of certain manufacturing and marketing capabilities as the product base expands; increases in accounts receivable and inventory which may arise with any increase in product sales; technological developments; the timing and cost of obtaining required regulatory approvals for new products; the timing and quantum of milestone payments on business combinations, in-licenses, and collaborative projects; the timing and quantum of tax and dividend payments; the timing and quantum of purchases by the Employee Benefit Trust of Shire shares in the market to satisfy awards granted under Shire’s employee share plans and the amount of cash generated from sales of Shire’s products and royalty receipts.

An important part of Shire’s business strategy is to protect its products and technologies through the use of patents, proprietary technologies, and trademarks, to the extent available. The Company intends to defend its intellectual property and as a result may need cash for funding the cost of litigation.

The Company finances its activities through cash generated from operating activities, credit facilities, private, and public offerings of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of asset or investment disposals.

Shire’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include $209.3$317.7 million of Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Shire has a revolving credit facility ("RCF")(RCF) of $2,100.0 million, which matures in 2021, $1,050.0$75.0 million of which was utilized as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The RCF incorporates a $250.0 million U.S. dollar and Euro swingline facility operating as a sub-limit thereof.

In connection with the acquisition of Dyax, Shire entered into a $5.6 billion amortizing term loan facility in November 2015. As of September 30, 2017, $2.0 billionMarch 31, 2018, $900.0 million of this term loan facility was outstanding. The facility matures in different tranches through November 2018 and $0.8 billion is due within the next twelve months.2018.

In connection with the acquisition of Baxalta, Shire assumed $5.0 billion of unsecured senior notes previously issued by Baxalta, of which $750.0 million is due within the next twelve months, and issued $12.1 billion of unsecured senior notes in September 2016, of which none are due for repayment in the next twelve months.

The details of these financing arrangements are included in Note 13, Borrowings and Capital Leases, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, Shire also has access to certain short-term uncommitted lines of credit which are available to utilize from time to time to provide short-term cash management flexibility. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, $28.3 million was borrowed under these lines of credit were not utilized.Credit lines.

The Company may also engage in financing activities from time to time, including accessing the debt or equity capital markets.

Financing

Shire anticipates that its operating cash flow together with available cash, cash equivalents, and the RCF will be sufficient to meet its anticipated future operating expenses, capital expenditures, tax and interest payments, lease obligations, repayment of borrowings, and milestone payments as they become due over the next twelve months.

If the Company decides to acquire other businesses, it expects to fund these acquisitions from cash resources, the RCF, and through new borrowings (including issuances of debt securities) or the issuance of new equity, if necessary.


Sources and uses of cash

The following table provides an analysis of the Company’s gross and net debt position (excluding restricted cash), as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016::

Net debt$(20,375.9) $(22,439.0)$(18,203.2) $(19,068.7)

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure. Net debt represents U.S. GAAP Cash and cash equivalents less U.S. GAAP short and long term borrowings and capital leases. The Company believes that Net debt is a useful measure as it indicates the level of borrowings after taking account of the Cash and cash equivalents that could be utilized to pay down the outstanding borrowings.

Substantially all of the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents are held by foreign subsidiaries (i.e., those subsidiaries incorporated outside of Jersey, Channel Islands, the jurisdiction of incorporation of Shire plc). The amount of Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting standards is included under the heading “New Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.


Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the valuation of intangible assets (including goodwill), sales deductions, income taxes (including provisions for uncertain tax positions and the realization of deferred tax assets), provisions for litigation and legal proceedings, contingent consideration receivable from divestments of products or businesses and contingent consideration payable in respect of business combinations and asset purchases and pension costs. Estimates are based on historical experience, current conditions, and on various other assumptions that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of Shire's 2016Annual Report on Form 10-K 2017 for the year ended December 31, 2017, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been noBelow, we are providing, in supplemental form, the material changes from theto our risk factors set forththat occurred during the period ended March 31, 2018. Our risk factors disclosed in PART I, ITEM 1A: Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017, provide additional disclosure to this supplemental risk.

The announcement by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) that it is in discussions with Shire regarding a possible offer for the Company may distract our management and employees, resulting in substantial legal and other advisory expenses, and lead to uncertainty that may adversely affect our business and financial results creating increased volatility and price fluctuations in our stock price.

Takeda and Shire have publicly announced that they are in discussions regarding a possible offer for the Company by Takeda. In a press release dated April 24, 2018, Shire announced that Takeda has made further a revised proposal for the Company consisting of 0.839 new Takeda shares and US$30.33 in cash for each Shire ordinary share, and that the Board of Shire has indicated to Takeda that it would be willing to recommend the revised proposal to Shire shareholders, subject to satisfactory resolution of the other terms of the revised proposal. Takeda is required to announce a firm intention to make an offer or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for the Company pursuant to the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “City Code”) by 5.00pm on May 8, 2018. This deadline may be further extended with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers. There can be no certainty that any firm offer for the Company will be made by Takeda nor as to the terms on which any such firm offer might be made. In addition, if any such firm offer is made there can be no certainty as to whether the proposed transaction will be consummated nor as to the terms on which any such transaction will be consummated.  

Takeda’s public announcements in relation to its consideration of a potential offer for Shire, together with Shire’s subsequent announcements as required by the City Code, have created and may continue to create uncertainty about the effect of any potential offer or acquisition, and whether and when any such acquisition will be completed, among our customers, suppliers, and other business partners. In addition, the review, consideration, and response to Takeda’s acquisition proposals have required and may continue to require the expenditure of significant time and resources by us and may be a significant distraction for our management and employees. The potential uncertainty resulting from the public announcements made by Takeda due to these or other factors may undermine our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and may cause increased volatility and wide price fluctuations in our stock price.
