Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words.
These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statement is subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements.
Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20172018 (the "Fiscal 2018 10-K") and the following:


We participate in a highly competitive market, and increased competition may adversely affect our business.


The demand for our offerings depends in part on our customers’ research and development and the clinical and market success of their products. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed if our customers spend less on, or are less successful in, these activities.


We are subject to product and other liability risks that could exceed our anticipated costs or adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows.


Failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition or result in claims from customers.


Failure to provide quality offerings to our customers could have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to regulatory actions or costly litigation.


The services and offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, and if we encounter problems providing the services or support required, our business could suffer.


Our global operations are subject to economic, political, and regulatory risks, including the risks of changing regulatory standards or changing interpretations of existing standards, that could affect the profitability of our operations or require costly changes to our procedures.


The referendum inexit of the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and resulting decision of the U.K. government to consider exiting from the European Union could have future adverse effects on our operations, revenues, and costs, and therefore our profitability.


If we do not enhance our existing or introduce new technology or service offerings in a timely manner, our offerings may become obsolete over time, customers may not buy our offerings, and our revenue and profitability may decline.


We and our customers depend on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other forms of intellectual property protections, but these protections may not be adequate.


Our future results of operations are subject to fluctuations in the costs, availability, and suitability of the components of the products we manufacture, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, purchased components, and raw materials.


Changes in market access or healthcare reimbursement for our customers’ products in the United States ("U.S.") or internationally, including possible changes to the possible repeal or replacement of theU.S. Affordable Care Act, in the United States, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition by affecting demand for our offerings.offerings or the financial health of our customers.

As a global enterprise, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency, against foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.


The impact to our business of recently enacted U.S. tax legislation could differ materially from our current estimates.

Tax legislative or regulatory initiatives or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.


Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.


Changes to the estimated future profitability of the business may require that we establish an additional valuation allowance against all or some portion of our net U.S. deferred tax assets.


We are dependent on key personnel.


We use advanced information and communication systems to run our operations, compile and analyze financial and operational data, and communicate among our employees, customers, and counter-parties, soand the risks generally associated with information and communications systems could adversely affect our results of operations. We are continuously working to install new, and upgrade existing, systems and provide employee awareness training around phishing, malware, and other cyber securitycyber-security risks to enhance the protections available to us, but such protections may be inadequate to address malicious attacks or inadvertent compromises of data security.


We engage, from time to time, in acquisitions and other transactions that may complement or expand our business or divest of non-strategic businesses or assets. We may not be able to complete such transactions, and such transactions, if executed, pose significant risks, including risks relating to our ability to successfully and efficiently integrate acquisitions or execute on dispositions and realize anticipated benefits therefrom. The failure to execute or realize the full benefits from any such transaction could have a negative effect on our operations.


Our offerings or our customers’ products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.


We are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.


We are subject to labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.


Certain of our pension plans are underfunded, and additional cash contributions we may make to increase the funding level will reduce the cash available for our business, such as the payment of our interest expense.


Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or in our industry, expose us to interest-rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt, and prevent us from meeting our obligations under our indebtedness.


We caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits, or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. There can be no assurance that (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors’ likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct, or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful. All forward-looking statements in this report apply only as of the date of this report or as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Catalent, Inc. (“Catalent”("Catalent" or the “Company”"Company") directly and wholly owns PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC (“("Intermediate Holdings”Holdings"). Intermediate Holdings directly and wholly owns Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“("Operating Company”Company"). The financial results of Catalent are comprised of the financial results of Operating Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 20172018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.2019. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 20172018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information on the Company's accounting policies and footnotes, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 20172018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(the "SEC").
UseIn fiscal 2018, the Company engaged in a business reorganization to better align its internal business unit structure with its "Follow the Molecule" strategy and the increased focus on its biologics-related offerings. Under the revised structure, the Company created two new operating segments from the former Drug Delivery Solutions segment:
Biologics and Specialty Drug Delivery, which encompasses biologic cell-line development and manufacturing, development and manufacturing services for blow-fill-seal unit doses, prefilled syringes, vials, and cartridges; analytical development and testing services for large molecules; and development and manufacturing for inhaled products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and intra-nasal sprays; and
Oral Drug Delivery, which encompasses comprehensive formulation development, manufacturing, and analytical development capabilities using advanced processing technologies such as bioavailability enhancement, controlled release, particle size engineering, and taste-masking for solid oral-dose forms.
Each of Estimates
the two new segments reports through a separate management team and ultimately reports to the Company's Chief Executive Officer who is designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker for segment reporting purposes. The preparation of financial statementsCompany's operating segments are the same as its reporting segments. All prior-period comparative segment information has been restated to reflect the current reportable segments in conformityaccordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset valuation and impairment, equity-based compensation, income taxes, and pension plan asset and liability valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. The currency fluctuations related to certain long-term inter-company loans deemed to not be repayable in the foreseeable future have been recorded within cumulative translation adjustment,In June 2018, as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). In addition, the currency fluctuation associated with the portionresult of the Company’s euro-denominated debt designatedthree-year cumulative consumer price index exceeding 100%, Argentina was classified as having a net investment hedge is included as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates forhighly inflationary economy. Beginning on July 1, 2018, the period are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the other (income)/expense, net line item. Foreign currency translation gains and losses generated from inter-company loans that are long-term in nature, but may be repayable in the foreseeable future, are also recorded within the other (income)/expense, net line item on the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605 Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In cases where the Company has multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates those contracts to assess if the contracts are linked or are separate arrangements. Factors the Company considers include the timing of negotiation, interdependency with other contracts or elements and payment terms. The Company and its customers generally view each contract discussion as a separate arrangement.
Manufacturing and packaging service revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product in accordance with the terms of the contract, which specify when transfer of title and risk of loss occurs. Some of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with

11

Table of Contents


its customers have annual minimum purchase requirements. At the end of the contract year, revenue is recognized for the unfilled purchase obligation in accordance with the contract terms. Development service contracts generally take the form of a fee-for-service arrangement. After the Company has evidence of an arrangement, the price is determinable and there is a reasonable expectation regarding payment, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time the service obligation is completed and accepted by the customer. Examples of output measures include a formulation report, analytical and stability testing, clinical batch production or packaging and the storage and distribution of a customer’s clinical trial material. Development service revenue is primarily driven by the Company’s Drug Delivery Solutions segment.
Arrangements containing multiple elements, including service arrangements, are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements. The Company determines the separate units of account in accordance with ASC 605-25. If the deliverable meets the criteria of a separate unit of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to each element based upon its relative selling price. In determining the best evidence of selling price of a unit of account, the Company utilizes vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), which is the price the Company charges when the deliverable is sold separately. When VSOE is not available, management uses relevant third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price, if available. When neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists, management uses its best estimate of selling price.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with ASC 350 Goodwill, Intangible and Other Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company's annual goodwill impairment test was conductedits Argentine operations as of April 1, 2017. The Company assesses goodwill for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units to their fair values. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units utilizing estimated future discounted cash flows and incorporates assumptions that it believes marketplace participants would utilize. In addition, the Company uses comparative market information and other factors to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.
Property and Equipment and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including capital lease assets that are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. The Company generally uses the following ranges of useful lives for its property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements — 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment — 3 to 10 years; and furniture and fixtures — 3 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $30.7 million and $58.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and $24.4 million and $49.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Depreciation expense includes amortization of assets related to capital leases. The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. The amount of capitalized interest was immaterial for all periods presented.
Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily including customer relationships, patents and trademarks are amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an un-discounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is determined based on assumptions the Company believes marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arm's length transactions. Impairment charges related to definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were not material for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.highly inflationary.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with the development of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Such research and development costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to $1.5$1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017,, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with research and

development services the Company provides to customers and services performed in support of the commercial manufacturing process for customers are recorded within cost of sales. Such research and development costs included in cost of sales amounted to $12.4$14.3 million and $25.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and $12.4 million and $22.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017,, respectively, and $11.0 million and $21.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

Earnings / (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports net earnings/(loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260Earnings per Share. Under ASC 260, basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net earnings or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution caused by securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares, and is computed by dividing net earnings or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share includes in-the-money stock options, restricted stock units, and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method. During a loss period, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options has an anti-dilutive effect, and, therefore, these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation awards pursuant to ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair value based method for costs related to share-based payments including stock options and restricted stock units. The expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, and the expense is recorded over the applicable requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method. Forfeitures are recognized as and when they occur. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price based on peer companies, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate.
The terms of the Company’s equity-based compensation plans permit an employee holding vested stock options to elect to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise issuable upon the employee's exercise of the option, a so-called "net settlement transaction," as a means of paying the exercise price meeting tax withholding requirements, or both.
Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments that have a readily determinable fair value based on quoted market price of the investment, which is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement. Under ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities, these investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value in other current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Under the Company's accounting policy, a decline in the fair value of marketable securities is deemed to be "other than temporary" and such marketable securities are generally considered to be impaired if their fair value is less than the Company's cost basis for a period based on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding the investment. If a decline in the fair value of a marketable security below the Company's cost basis is determined to be other than temporary, such marketable security is written down to its estimated fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings as an impairment charge.

Recent Financial Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2015,May 2014, the Financial Accounting StandardsStandard Board (the "FASB"("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was codified as ASC 606 and superseded nearly all existing revenue-recognition guidance. The guidance’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, the guidance creates a five-step model that requires an entitya company to measure inventory at lowerexercise judgment when considering the terms of costthe contracts and net realizable value. Net realizable valueall relevant facts and circumstances. The five steps require a company to identify customer contracts, identify the separate performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and recognize revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. The guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, where the estimated selling pricesstandard is applied to all periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, where the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The ASU is effective for public reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively inthe guidance as of July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach applied to contracts that were not completed as of that date. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to the fiscal 2018. The2019 opening balance of its accumulated deficit upon adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.guidance, which decreased beginning accumulated deficit by $15.1 million.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, whichThe following table provides clarification on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for publicly reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company early adopted this ASU retrospectively in fiscal 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards Not Adopted as of December 31, 2017
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which reduces the complexity of and simplifies the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted.

Refer to Note 2 for the Company's revenue recognition policy.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires entities to report the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the reporting period. The other components of the net benefit costs will be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost and below the income from operations subtotal. The Company adopted this guidance as of July 1, 2018, on a retrospective basis, which had an effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017. The following table summarizes the Company's As Previously Reported and As Adjusted changes to the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017:

The adoption of this guidance was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when an entity will apply modification accounting for changes to stock-based compensation arrangements. Modification accounting applies if the value, vesting conditions, or classification of an award changes. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides additional guidance on the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes the accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option, and presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value and to recognize change in fair value in net earnings. The ASU is not applicable to equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards Not Adopted as of December 31, 2018
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The ASU will be effective for public reporting entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 20172019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.years and allows for either a retrospective or prospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits an entity to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new accounting model Credit Expected Credit Losses model ("CECL"). CECL requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard will also apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will supersede ASCASC 840 Leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will be effective for publiclypublic reporting entities in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The Company anticipates that most of its operating leases will result in the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of adopting this guidance and its implication on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers, whichwill supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, the new guidance creates a five-step model that requires a

company to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contracts and all relevant facts and circumstances. The five steps require a company to identify customer contracts, identify the separate performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date so that the new guidance is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption, where the standard is applied to all periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption where the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has identified its revenue streams, reviewed the initial impacts of adopting of the new standard on those revenue streams, and appointed a governance committee and project management leader. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it has preliminarily assessed that the timing of revenue recognition may change for certain contractual arrangements containing minimum volume commitments in which the price is not fixed or determinable pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Under the current standard, the related pricing adjustments are considered to be contingent, while under the new standard they will likely be accounted for as variable consideration and revenue might be recognized earlier provided that the Company can reliably estimate the amount expected to be realized.  Further, the Company has preliminarily determined that, for commercial supply arrangements, revenue will be recognized at the point in time of completing the required quality assurance process. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on a modified retrospective basis.
2.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Transaction Overview:
On October 23, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Cook Pharmica LLC (now doing business as Catalent Indiana, LLC, "Catalent Indiana") for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $950 million, subject to adjustment, in order to enhance the Company's biologics capabilities. Catalent Indiana is a biologics-focused contract development and manufacturing organization with capabilities across biologics development, clinical and commercial cell culture manufacturing, formulation, finished-dose manufacturing, and packaging.

The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The total consideration was (in thousands):
Cash paid at closing$748,002
Fair value of deferred consideration at closing 184,838
    Total consideration$932,840

In addition to the cash paid at the closing of the acquisition, the agreement governing the purchase includes a deferred consideration arrangement that requires the Company to pay an additional $200.0 million in $50.0 million increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the closing. The fair value of the deferred consideration recognized on the acquisition date was estimated by calculating the risk-adjusted present value of four deferred cash payments and includes a component of imputed interest. This deferred consideration is included in current and long-term obligations within the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017.
Following the acquisition, the operating results of the Catalent Indiana business have been included in the consolidated financial statements. For the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017, Catalent Indiana's net revenue was $40.4 million and pre-tax earnings were $7.9 million. Transaction costs incurred as a result of the acquisition of $1.9 million and $10.4 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ending December 31, 2017, respectively.

Valuation Assumptions and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation:

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company estimated fair values at the date of acquisition for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, the Company will continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the fair value of net assets acquired, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates. If any measurement period adjustment is material, the Company will record those adjustments, including any related impact on net income, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.

Table of Contents


The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction is (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable$37,021
Inventory 25,144
Other current assets 1,344
Property, plant and equipment 221,139
Identifiable intangible assets 330,000
Trade and other payables 5,380
Deferred revenue 18,132
Total identifiable net assets 591,136
Goodwill 341,704
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed$932,840

The carrying value of trade receivables, raw materials inventory and trade payables, as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities, generally represented the fair value at the date of acquisition.

Property, plant and equipment was valued using a combination of the sales comparison approach and cost approach, which is based on current replacement and/or reproduction cost of the asset as new, less depreciation attributable to physical, functional, and economic factors. The Company then determined the remaining useful life based on the anticipated life of the asset and Company policy for similar assets.

Customer relationship intangible assets of $330 million were valued using the multi-period excess-earnings method, a method that values the intangible asset using the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset only. The significant assumptions used in developing the valuation included the estimated annual net cash flows (including application of an appropriate margin to forecastedrecognizes revenue selling and marketing costs, return on working capital, contributory asset charges and other factors), the discount rate which appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of the asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The assumptions used in the financial forecasts were based on historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated growth rates, management plans, and market comparable information. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. Preliminary assumptions may change and may result in significant changes to the final valuation. The customer relationship intangible asset has a weighted average useful life of 14 years.

Goodwill has preliminarily been allocated to our Drug Delivery Solutions segment as shown in Note 3, Goodwill.

Pro Forma Results:

The following table provides unaudited pro forma results for the Company, prepared in accordance with ASC 805,606. The Company generally earns its revenue by supplying goods or providing services under contracts with its customers in three primary revenue streams: manufacturing and commercial product supply, development services, and clinical supply services. The Company measures the revenue from customers based on the consideration specified in its contracts, excluding any sales incentive or amount collected on behalf of a third party.
The company generally expenses sales commissions as incurred because either the amortization period is one year or less, or the balance with an amortization period greater than one year is not material.

to reflect the incremental amortization expensecontract. These activities are interdependent and thus are considered to be incurreda single combined performance obligation. Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days after the goods are shipped to the customer based on the fair valuepayment terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement.
Development Services Revenue
Development services contracts generally take the form of short-term, fee-for-service arrangements. Performance obligations vary, but frequently include (1) the delivery of a formulation report, analytical and stability testing report, or other report on product- or molecule-based studies or (2) the manufacture of products under development or otherwise not intended for commercial sale. The transaction prices for these arrangements include fixed consideration of the intangible assets acquired,amounts stated in the incremental depreciation expense relatedcontracts for each promised good or service, which are generally considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when or as control of each individual performance obligation is transferred to the fair value adjustmentscustomer and exercises judgment in determining the timing of revenue recognition by analyzing the point in time or period over which the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the arrangement. Control generally transfers to the customer when services have been completed or the customer has accepted the product or service deliverable and the Company has right to payment based on the terms of the agreement.
In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company satisfies performance obligations. Satisfaction of the performance obligations is measured using an output method measure of progress based on effort expended by the Company. In other arrangements, revenue is recognized when the customer has taken legal title to or accepted the product or service deliverable and the Company has a right to payment based on the terms of the arrangement.
Development services contracts may also include certain success-based milestone payments for completed performance obligations, such as regulatory approval and product validation prior to the commencement of commercial supply. Revenue associated with Catalent Indiana's property, plantdevelopmental milestones is considered variable consideration and equipment,is typically recognized when the additional interest expense associatedsuccess-based milestone is achieved, and no significant revenue reversal is anticipated.
The Company allocates consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative selling price. Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days following the completion of services provided to the customer based on the payment terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement. Certain development service arrangements require a portion of the contract consideration to be received in advance at the commencement of the contract and is initially recorded as a contract liability.
Clinical Supply Services Revenue
Clinical supply services contracts generally take the form of fee-for-service arrangements. Performance obligations for clinical supply services revenue typically include a combination of the following services: the manufacturing, packaging, storage, distribution, destruction, and inventory management of customer clinical trials materials. Performance obligations can also include the sourcing of comparator drug products on behalf of customers to be used in clinical trials to compare performance with the issuancedrug under clinical investigation. In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue over time when the Company satisfies performance obligations. Satisfaction of debt to finance the acquisition,performance obligations is measured using an output method measure of progress based on effort expended by the shares issued in connection withCompany. In other arrangements, revenue is recognized when the first quarter equity offering to financecustomer has taken legal title or accepted the acquisition,product or service deliverable and the acquisition, integration,Company has right to payment based on the terms of the arrangement. Payment is typically due 30 to 90 days following the completion of services provided to the customer based on the payment terms set forth in the applicable customer agreement.
The Company records revenue for comparator sourcing arrangements on a net basis because it is acting as an agent that does not control the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. Payment for comparator sourcing activity is typically received in advance at the commencement of the contract and financing-related costs incurredis initially recorded as a contract liability.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities relate to cash consideration that the Company receives in advance of satisfying the related performance obligations. Changes in the contractual liabilities balance during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects associated with integrating Catalent Indiana into the rest2018 are as follows:

For the Clinical Supply Services segment, remaining performance obligations represent estimated future service revenues from work not yet completed under signed contracts. The remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2018 were $1,274.5 million, including approximately $319.2 million related to our Clinical Supply Services segment. We expect to recognize approximately 58% of the remaining performance obligations in existence as of December 31, 2018 over the next six months, with the remaining recognized thereafter.

 The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 excludes the effect of the potential common shares issuable under employee-held stock options and restricted stock units of approximately 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 excludes the maximum effect of the potential common shares issuable under the employeeemployee-held stock option planoptions and restricted stock units of approximately 2.6 million shares, and excludes restricted share awards of 2.1 million shares, because the Company had a net loss for the period and the effect would therefore be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 excludes the effect of 0.5 million shares potentially issuable pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, because the vesting provisions of those awards specify performance- or market-based conditions that had not been met as of the period end. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 excludes the effect of potential common shares issuable under employee-held stock options and restricted stock units of approximately 0.9 million and 1.1 million shares, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.

9.  RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
Restructuring Costs
TheFrom time to time, the Company has implemented plans to restructure certain operations, both domestically and internationally. The restructuring plans focused on various aspects of operations, including closing and consolidating certain manufacturing operations, rationalizing headcount and aligning operations in a strategic and more cost-efficient structure. In addition, the Company may incur restructuring charges in the future in cases where a material change in the scope of operation with its business occurs. Employee-related costs consist primarily of severance costs and also include outplacement services provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated and duplicate payroll costs during transition periods. Facility exit and other costs consist of accelerated depreciation, equipment relocation costs and costs associated with planned facility expansions and closures to streamline Company operations.
Other Costs / Costs/(Income)

10.INCOME TAXES
11. INCOME TAXES

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted wide-ranging tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Tax Act"). The 2017 Tax Act significantly revises U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, (a) lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (b) creating a partial territorial tax system that includes imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, (c) creating provisions regarding the (1) Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI"), (2) the Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") deduction, and (3) the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), and (d) eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as interest expense, executive compensation expenses, and certain employee expenses. While the impact of the mandatory one-time transition tax was recognized in fiscal 2018, the remaining provisions are effective for fiscal years after 2018.

ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. However, due to the complexity and significance of the 2017 Tax Act’s provisions, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which allowsallowed companies to record the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate and then, if necessary, subsequently adjust such amounts during a limited measurement period as more information becomesbecame available. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared,ended December 22, 2018 and analyzedour accounting for the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year from enactment. As a resulttax effects of the 2017 Tax Act through December 31, 2018 is complete as of December 31, 2018. For the Company revised its estimated annual effective rate to reflect the change in the U.S. federal statutory rate. The revised blended U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the fiscal year is 28%.

Measurement of certain income tax effects that can be reasonably estimated (provisional amounts)
During the second quarterthree and six months ended December 31, 2017,2018, the Company recorded a one-timenet benefit of $6.9 million, reducing the estimated net charge of $46.0from $42.5 million within its incomepreviously recorded during fiscal 2018, to $35.6 million. This reduction was primarily related to additional foreign tax provision as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact of the 2017 Tax Act in accordancecredit benefits associated with SAB 118. The net charge is comprised of the following: (i) expense of $48.7 million related to the mandatory transition tax charge for deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, $8.7 million of which the Company expects to pay over an 8-year period after considering the use of certain net operating losses and foreign tax credits, and certain limitations on executive compensation; (ii) an additional $9.5 million charge relatingincome. There were no other changes recorded to the impact of provisional changes in the Company's intentions with respect to future repatriation of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries and (iii) a benefit of $12.2 million related to a revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. The one-time net charge, which was recorded on a provisional basis, increased the Company’s effective tax rate by 164% and 154% during the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
Given the significant complexity of the 2017 Tax Act, anticipated guidance from the U.S. Treasury concerning implementation of the 2017 Tax Act, and the potential for additional guidance from the SEC or the FASBprovision related to the 2017 Tax Act, the provisional estimates that the Company recorded may require adjustment during the measurement period.Act. The provisional estimates were based on the Company’s present understanding of the 2017 Tax Act and other information available as of the time of the estimates, including assumptions and expectations about future events, such as its projected financial performance, and are subject to further refinement as additional information becomes available (including the Company’s actual full fiscal 2018 results of operations, as well as potential new or interpretative guidance issued by the SEC, the FASB, or the Internal Revenue Service) and the Company continues its analysis. The Company continues to analyze the changes to certain income tax deductions, assess calculations of earnings and profits in certain foreign subsidiaries, including whether those earnings are held in cash or other assets, and gather additional data to compute the full impact of the 2017 Tax Act on the Company’s deferred and current tax assets and liabilities.

Measurement of certain income tax effects that cannot be reasonably estimated
Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, the Company continues to evaluate this provision of the 2017 Tax Act and the application of ASC 740. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company will make an accounting policy election of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company's measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company's selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing its global income to determine whether it expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends on not only the Company's current structure and estimated future results of global operations, but also its intent and ability to modify its structure. Therefore, the Company has not made any adjustment related to potential GILTI tax in its financial statements and has not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred tax on GILTI.

Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of all other provisions, including but not limited to provisions regarding the FDII, BEAT, interest expense and certain employee expense deductions, as well as the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company is currently in the process of analyzing its structure and estimated future results and, as a result, is not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of these provisions of the 2017 Tax Act.Act, as the U.S. Treasury Department has and is expected to continue issuing guidance related to the 2017 Tax Act during the Company’s fiscal year 2019.

As noted above, the 2017 Tax Act subjects a US Company to tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company will account for GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period cost.
Other Tax Matters

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in U.S. and non-U.S. pretax income resulting from the Company’s business mix and changes in the tax impact of special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Such discrete items include, but are not limited to, changes in foreign statutory tax rates, the amortization of certain assets, and the tax impact of changes in its ASC 740 unrecognized tax benefit reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities around the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to new non-U.S. incomeexaminations by the relevant tax examinationsauthorities for years prior to fiscal year 2008.2009. Under the terms of the 2007 purchase agreement by which the selling stockholders at that time acquired their interest in the Company, the Company is indemnified by its former owner for tax liabilities that may arise after the 2007 purchase that relate to tax periods prior to April 10, 2007. The indemnification agreement applies to, among other taxes, any and all federal, state, and international income-based taxes as well as related interest and penalties. As of December 31, 20172018 and June 30, 2017,2018, approximately $0.7$0.6 million and $0.8$0.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefit are subject to indemnification by the Company's former owner.

ASC 740 includes guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This standard provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeal or litigation process, based on the technical merits. As of December 31, 2017,2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company had a total of $52.5$2.0 million and $2.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliationbenefits, respectively.

SEC inquiry into Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

13.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On August 14, 2018, Operating Company acquired Juniper pursuant to the Juniper Merger Agreement. On November 14, 2016, Juniper filed with the SEC restated audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2015, including the unaudited consolidated financial information for each quarterly period within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and restated unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 and the related quarters in 2015, in order to correct certain timing errors regarding how it recognized revenue from a supply contract with an affiliate of Merck KGaA. On January 24, 2017, Juniper received a subpoena from the SEC requesting information concerning these restatements and related issues. Juniper responded to the subpoena and is cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry, including the taking of testimony from former Juniper employees and others. The Company continues to receive and resolve claims stemming from a prior, temporary, regulatory suspension of one of our manufacturing facilities. To date, more than 30 customersunderstands that the inquiry is ongoing but does not believe the outcome of the facility have presented claims againstinvestigation will be material to it; nonetheless, the Company for alleged losses, including lost profits and other types of indirect or consequential damagescannot provide any assurance regarding that they have allegedly suffered due to the temporary suspension, or have reserved their right to do so subsequently. The Company is unable to estimate at this time either the total value of claims that are reasonably possible to be asserted with respect to this matter or the likely cost to resolve them, although (a) as of the end of December 31, 2017, the Company has settled 18 customer claims and (b) certain remaining customers have presented the Company with support for other claims having an aggregate claim value of approximately $4.0 million. To date, none of the asserted claims takes into account limitations of liability in the contracts governing these claims or any other defense that the Company may assert. In addition, the Company may have insurance for additional costs it may incur as a result of such claims, subject to various deductibles and other limitations, but there can be no assurance as to the aggregate amount or timing of insurance recoveries against any such costs.outcome.
Other
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects, and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of any of which could be significant. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against any such litigation and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated and government agencies continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information relating to the business practices and activities of customers or suppliers from various governmental agencies or private parties, including from state attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and private parties engaged in patent infringement, antitrust, tort, and other litigation. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, which responses sometimes require considerable time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred. The Company expects to incur costs in future periods in connection with future requests.

ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company
We are the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics, and consumer and animal health products. Our oral, injectable, and respiratory delivery technologies provide delivery solutions acrossaddress the full diversity of the pharmaceutical industry, including small molecules, biologics, and consumer and animal health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, we help our customers take products to market faster, including nearly half of new drug products approved by the FDAU.S. Food and Drug Administration in the last decade. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, which include those in our Softgel Technologies, Biologics and ourSpecialty Drug Delivery, Solutionsand Oral Drug Delivery segments, our proven
formulation, manufacturing, and regulatory expertise, and our broad and deep intellectual property enable our customers and their patients' needs to develop more products and better treatments for patients and consumers. Across both development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ and their patients' needs is the foundation for the value we provide; annually, we produce approximately 7273 billion doses for nearly 7,000 customer products or approximately one1 in every twenty20 doses of such productsproduct taken each year by patients and consumers around the world. We believe that through our investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, our ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, the sales of existing customer products, the introduction of new customer products, our innovation activities and patents, and our entry into new markets, we will continue to benefit from attractive and differentiated margins and realize the growth potential from these areas.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP.generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These standards require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, variable consideration in revenue recognition, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment, income taxes, derivative financial instruments, self-insurance accruals, loss contingencies, and restructuring charge reserves. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.
There was no material change to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates from those described in our fiscal year 2017 Annual Report on FormFiscal 2018 10-K, other than recently adopted accounting principles as disclosed in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which adoptionadoptions had no material impact on net earnings.
Non-GAAP Performance Metrics
Use of EBITDA from continuing operations
Management measures operating performance based on consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, expense/(benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“("EBITDA from continuing operations”operations"). EBITDA from continuing operations is not defined under GAAP, and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP, and is subject to important limitations.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA from continuing operations enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe this measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and use this measure for business planning purposes. In addition, given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property, plant, and equipment, depreciation and amortization expenses represent a meaningful portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt, and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA from continuing operations in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede GAAP measures. Our definition of EBITDA from continuing operations may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA from continuing operations is earnings/(loss) from continuing operations.net earnings. Included in this report is a reconciliation of earnings/(loss) from continuing operationsnet earnings to EBITDA from continuing operations.

In addition, we evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment earnings before noncontrolling interest, other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and amortization (“("Segment EBITDA”EBITDA").

Table of Contents


Use of Constant Currency
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we compute constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Other Non-GAAP Measures
Organic revenue growth and segmentSegment EBITDA growth are useful measures calculated by the Company to explain the underlying results and trends in the business. Organic revenue growth and segmentSegment EBITDA growth are measures used to show current year sales and earnings from existing operations and include joint ventures and revenue from product participation relatedproduct-participation-related activities entered into within the year. Organic revenue growth and segmentSegment EBITDA growth exclude the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions of operating or legal entities, and divestitures within the year. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, performance measures reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Provision/(Benefit) for Income TaxesTax Expense
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted wide-ranging tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Tax Act"). The 2017 Tax Act significantly revises U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, (a) lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (b) creating a partial territorial tax system that includes imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, and eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions.
During the second quarter ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a one-time net charge of $46.0 million within our income tax provision as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact of the 2017 Tax Act in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the staff of the SEC ("SAB 118"), of which $48.7 million million related to the mandatory transition tax for deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, $8.7 million of which we expect to pay over an 8-year period after considering the use of certain net operating losses and foreign tax credits, and certain limitations on executive compensation. The impact to our business resulting from the 2017 Tax Act, including related changes to our tax obligations and effective tax rate in future periods, as well as the one-time enactment-related charges recorded during the second quarter in fiscal 2018 on a provisional basis, are based on a reasonable estimate and are subject to change, and any change could differ materially from our current expectations. Further, there are certain effects of the 2017 Tax Act we cannot reasonably estimate as of the time of this filing, including (a) the(c) creating provisions regarding (1) Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI") rules, (b), (2) the Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") deduction, (c)and (3) the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), and (d) provisions eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as interest expense, executive compensation expenses, and certain employee expenses, and (e)expenses.
The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which allowed companies to record the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. As additional data is gathered, analyzed, and considered in contexteffects of the 2017 Tax Act on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate and ASC 740,then, if necessary, subsequently adjust such amounts during a limited measurement period as more information became available. The Company’s measurement period has expired as of December 31,2018. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, we may recordrecorded a net benefit of $6.9 million reducing the estimated net charge from $42.5 million previously recorded during fiscal 2018, to $35.6 million. This reduction is primarily related to additional or differentforeign tax charges in future periodscredit benefits associated with the mandatory transition tax charge for deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income. There were no other changes recorded to the tax provision related to the 2017 Tax Act. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of all provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, as the U.S. Treasury Department has and is expected to continue issuing guidance related to the 2017 Tax Act during the measurement period.Company’s fiscal year 2019.
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $2.3 million relative to earnings from operations before income taxes of $51.3 million. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $49.9 million relative to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $28.0 million. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $9.5 million relative to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $26.9 million. The income tax provision for the current period is not comparable to the same period of the prior year due to the impact of the 2017 Tax Act as previously discussed, changes in pretax income over many jurisdictions, and the impact of discrete items. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in our geographic pretax income resulting from our business mix and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences, restructuring, other special items, and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item.

The 2017 Tax Act in accordance with SAB 118, of which $48.7 million million relatedsignificantly revised U.S. income tax law by, among other provisions, (a) lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to the21%, (b) creating a partial territorial tax system that includes imposing a mandatory transitionone-time transitional tax for deemed repatriation ofon previously deferred foreign earnings, (c) creating provisions regarding (1) income $8.7 million of which we expectdeemed to pay over an 8-year period after consideringbe Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI"), (2) the use of certain net operating lossesForeign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") deduction, and foreign tax credits,(3) the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), and certain limitations on executive compensation. The impact to our business resulting from the 2017 Tax Act, including related changes to our tax obligations and effective tax rate in future periods, as well as the one-time enactment-related charges recorded during the second quarter in fiscal 2018 on a provisional basis, are based on a reasonable estimate and are subject to change, and any change could differ materially from our current expectations. Further, there are certain effects of the 2017 Tax Act we cannot reasonably estimate as of the time of this filing, including (a) the GILTI rules, (b) the FDII deduction, (c) the BEAT, (d)provisions eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as deductions for interest expense, executive compensation expense, and certain employee expenses, and (e)expenses.
The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which allowed companies to record the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. As additional data is gathered, analyzed, and considered in contexteffects of the 2017 Tax Act on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate and ASC 740,then, if necessary, subsequently adjust such amounts during a limited measurement period as more information became available. The Company’s measurement period has expired as of December 31,2018. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, we may recordrecorded a net benefit of $6.9 million reducing the estimated net charge from $42.5 million previously recorded during fiscal 2018, to $35.6 million. This reduction is primarily related to additional or differentforeign tax charges in future periodscredit benefits associated with the mandatory transition tax charge for deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income. There were no other changes recorded to the tax provision related to the 2017 Tax Act. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of all provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, as the U.S. Treasury Department has and is expected to continue issuing guidance related to the 2017 Tax Act during the measurement period.Company’s fiscal year 2019.

Clinical Supply Services' Segment EBITDA increased by $12.5 million, or 57%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2016,2017, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Segment EBITDA without acquisitions decreased 26%, primarily due to decreased volumes related to certain higher-margin offerings within our commercial oral delivery solutions platform.
On August 14, 2018, we acquired Juniper, which increased net revenue and Segment EBITDA in our Oral Drug Delivery segment for the six months ended December 31, 2018 by 11% and 17%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.

Clinical Supply Services’ net revenue decreased by $58.4 million, or 27%, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2017, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded comparator sourcing arrangements on a net basis versus a gross basis resulting in a decrease to net revenue by 30%, partially offset by an increase in revenue primarily due to higher volume in our storage and distribution business and higher comparator sourcing volume as compared to the prior-year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash flows generated from operations and certain financing activities for acquisitions. The principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating and capital expenditures, business or asset acquisitions, interest payments on debt, and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments on debt issuances. As of December 31, 2017, our financing needs were supported by the five-year,2018, Operating Company had available a $200 million revolving credit facility maintained by Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (our "Operating Company") that matures in May 2022 (following the Third Amendment in October 2017), the capacity of which is reduced by $13.0$6.3 million in outstanding letters of credit. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, referred to as swing-line borrowings. As of December 31, 2017,2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
On October 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to use up to $100.0 million to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock.stock, par value $0.01 ("Common Stock"). Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise as permitted by applicable federal securities laws. There has been no purchase pursuant to this program as of December 31, 2017.
U.S. Tax Reform Considerations

Recent changes to the taxation of undistributed foreign earnings in connection with the 2017 Tax Act could potentially change our future intentions regarding the reinvestment of such earnings. We intend to continue to monitor regulatory developments concerning the taxation of undistributed foreign earnings, as well as our liquidity needs both domestic and foreign. If our plans change and we choose to repatriate any funds to the U.S. in the future, we could potentially be subject to applicable state, local, and/or foreign taxes. We have yet to determine the potential use of any cash that may be repatriated to the U.S. as a result of the 2017 Tax Act. Based on the current estimate of the mandatory transition cash tax liability of $8.7 million and timing of the related payments, we believe that cash from operations will be sufficient to make all required payments.2018.

Financing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2017,2018, cash provided byused in financing activities was $682.4$73.8 million compared to $175.7cash provided by financing activities of $682.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016,2017. The cash used in financing activities during the current six-month period is primarily driven by $450 million used in a partial paydown of the U.S. dollar-denominated term loan in July 2018, and the first installment payment on the deferred purchase consideration of which $44.0 million represents the deemed principal portion of the debt. These payments were offset by net proceeds of $445.5 million raised as part of the 2018 Equity Offering. In the 2018 Equity Offering, we sold 11.4 million shares, including the underwriters' over-allotment, of our Common Stock at a price to the public of $40.24 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds of $445.5 million include the effect of discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to repay a corresponding portion of the outstanding borrowings under the U.S. dollar-denominated term loans. The cash provided by financing activities in the prior-year six-month period was primarily driven by net proceeds of $442.6$442 million and $277.8 million raised as part of our Debt OfferingUSD Notes offering and a primary offering of our common stockCommon Stock in September 2017 (the "Equity"2017 Equity Offering"), respectively, during the current-yearprior-year six-month period. In the 2017 Equity Offering, we sold 7.4 million shares, of our common stockincluding the underwriters' over-allotment, at a price to the public of $39.10 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds of $277.8 million includesinclude the effect of these discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The net proceeds of these offeringsthe 2017 Equity Offering were used to fund a portion of the initial consideration for the Catalent Indiana acquisition. Contemporaneous to completing the Debt Offerings, we completed the Third Amendment to lower the interest rate and extend the maturity dates on our senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the Debt Offering and the Third Amendment, we incurred $22.8 million of debt discount and third-party financing costs, of which $11.8 million was expensed and recorded in other expense/(income), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Guarantees and Security
Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, Operating Company’s (and Operating Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans, or advances; make certain acquisitions; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; amend material agreements governing Operating Company’s subordinated indebtednessindebtedness; and change Operating Company’s lines of business.
The Credit Agreement also contains change of controlchange-of-control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The revolving credit facility requires compliance with a net leverage covenant when there is a 30% or more draw outstanding at a period end. As of December 31, 2017, we were2018, Operating Company was in compliance with all material covenants related to our senior-secured obligations.under the Credit Agreement.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement permits usOperating Company and ourits restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of ourOperating Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries or its Puerto Rico subsidiariessubsidiary is a guarantor of the loans.
Under the Credit Agreement, Operating Company's ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments, and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as "Consolidated EBITDA" in the Credit Agreement). Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Credit Agreement, is not defined under GAAP, and is subject to important limitations.
As market conditions warrant, we and our affiliates may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding debt in privately negotiated or open marketopen-market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitation contained in the Credit Agreement, any purchase made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchase may be with respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the

attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of such class or series. In addition, any such purchases made at prices below the “adjusted issue price” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may result in taxable cancellation of indebtedness income to us, which amounts may be material, and in related adverse tax consequences to us.
The Euro Notes and the USD Notes
The Indentures governing the Euro Notes and the USD Notes (the "Indentures") contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Operating Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee more debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on, repurchase, or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments,payments; make certain investments,investments; sell certain assets,assets; create liens,liens; consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets,assets; enter into certain transactions with their affiliates,affiliates; and designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the Indentures. The Indentures also contain customary events of default including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and payment or acceleration defaults in certain other indebtedness of Operating Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Under the Indentures, uponUpon an event of default, either the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of eithereach of the then-outstanding Euro Notes or the then-outstanding USD Notes, or either of the Trustees under the applicable notesIndentures, may declare the applicable notes immediately due and payable, or in certain circumstances, the applicable notes automatically will become automatically immediately due and immediately payable. As of December 31, 2017, we were2018, Operating Company was in compliance with all material covenants related tounder the Indentures.

As of December 31, 20172018 and June 30, 2017,2018, the amounts of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were $272.2$179.0 million and $249.8$124.7 million, respectively, out of the total consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $329.5$207.9 million and $288.3$410.2 million, respectively. These balances are dispersed across many international locations around the world.

Backlog
While we generally have long-term supply agreements that provide for a revenue stream over a period of years, our backlog represents, as of a point in time, future service revenues from work not yet completed. For our Softgel Technologies and Drug Delivery Solutions segments, backlog represents firm orders for manufacturing services and includes minimum volumes, where applicable. For our Clinical Supply Services segment, backlog represents estimated future service revenues from work not yet completed under signed contracts. Using these methods of reporting backlog, as of December 31, 2017, backlog was approximately $1,121.6 million, compared to approximately $1,052.2 million as of June 30, 2017, including approximately $306.0 million and $338.3 million, respectively, related to our Clinical Supply Services segment. We expect to recognize approximately 70% of revenue from the backlog in existence as of December 31, 2017 by June 30, 2018.
To the extent projects are delayed, the timing of our revenue could be affected. If a customer cancels an order, we may be reimbursed for the costs we have incurred. For orders that are placed inside a contractual firm period, we generally have a contractual right to payment in the event of cancellation. Fluctuations in our reported backlog levels also result from the timing and order pattern of our customers who often seek to manage their level of inventory on hand. Because of customer ordering patterns, our backlog reported for certain periods may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future results.
Interest Rate Risk Management
A portion of the debt used to finance our operations is exposed to interest-rate fluctuations. We may use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed- and floating-rate assets and liabilities. Historically, we have used interest-rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable ratevariable-rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on our future interest expense. As of December 31, 2017,2018, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreementsagreement in place that would have the economic effect of modifying the variablevariable-rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans.

Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to fluctuations in the Euro-USDeuro-U.S. dollar exchange rate on our investments in our foreign operations in Europe. While we do not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, we have mitigated the exposure of our investments in our European operations by denominating a portion of our debt in euros. At December 31, 2017,2018, we had $811.9$777.7 million of euro-denominated debt outstanding that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. Refer to Note 910 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of net investment hedge activity in the period.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks primarily relate to changes in interest rates associated with our long-term debt obligations and foreign exchange rate changes.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has historically used interest-rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable ratevariable-rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest-rate changes on our future interest expense. As of December 31, 2017,2018, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreements in place that would either have the economic effect of modifying the variablevariable-rate interest obligations associated with our floating-rate term loans or would be considered an effective cash flow hedge for financial reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
By the nature of our global operations, we are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variation. These exposures are transactional and translational in nature. Since we manufacture and sell our products throughout the world, our foreign currencyforeign-currency risk is diversified. Principal drivers of this diversified foreign exchangeforeign-exchange exposure include the European euro, British pound, Argentinean peso, Brazilian real, and Australian dollar. Our transactional exposure arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than the functional currency of our operational units. We also have exposure related to the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the parent.Operating Company. The financial statements of our operations outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations in U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. Foreign currencyForeign-currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “other (income)/other expense, net. Such foreign currencyforeign-currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our ExecutiveSenior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any control or procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our ExecutiveSenior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our ExecutiveSenior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017,2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In October 2017, the Company acquired Catalent Indiana. During the six months ended December 31, 2018, we continued to integrate Catalent Indiana into the Company’s financial reporting processes and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As part of this process, we have undertaken efforts to significantly enhance the internal controls of Catalent Indiana, which were not subject to the internal control requirements applicable to U.S. public companies prior to our acquisition, to bring them in line with our internal controls over financial reporting, and those efforts are ongoing.

SEC inquiry into Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On August 14, 2018, Operating Company acquired Juniper. On November 14, 2016, Juniper filed with the SEC restated audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2015, including the unaudited consolidated financial information for each quarterly period within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and restated unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 and the related quarters in 2015, in order to correct certain timing errors regarding how it recognized revenue from a supply contract with an affiliate of Merck KGaA. On January 24, 2017, Juniper received a subpoena from the SEC requesting information concerning these restatements and related issues. Juniper responded to the subpoena and is cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry, including the taking of testimony from former Juniper employees and others. The Company continues to receive and resolve claims stemming from a prior, temporary, regulatory suspension of one of our manufacturing facilities. To date, more than 30 customersunderstands that the inquiry is ongoing but does not believe the outcome of the facility have presented claims againstinvestigation will be material to it; nonetheless, the Company for alleged losses, including lost profits and other types of indirect or consequential damagescannot provide any assurance regarding that they have allegedly suffered due to the temporary suspension, or have reserved their right to do so subsequently. The Company is unable to estimate at this time either the total value of claims that are reasonably possible to be asserted with respect to this matter or the likely cost to resolve them, although (a) as of the end of December 31, 2017, the Company has settled 18 customer claims and (b) certain remaining customers have presented the Company with support for other claims having an aggregate claim value of approximately $4 million. To date, none of the asserted claims takes into account limitations of liability in the contracts governing these claims or any other defense that the Company may assert. In addition, the Company may have insurance for additional costs it may incur as a result of such claims, subject to various deductibles and other limitations, but there can be no assurance as to the aggregate amount or timing of insurance recoveries against any such costs.outcome.
Other
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects, and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of any of which could be significant. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against any such litigation and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated and government agencies continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information relating to the business practices and activities of customers or suppliers from various governmental agencies or private parties, including from state attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and private parties engaged in patent infringement, antitrust, tort, and other litigation. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, which responses sometimes require considerable time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred. The Company expects to incur costs in future periods in connection with future requests.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors”"Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on FormFiscal 2018 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-Ksuch report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. Other than what was disclosed in the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, and discussed below, there has been no material change to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following information amends, updates, and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in theour Fiscal 20172018 10-K.
The impact to our business of recently enacted U.S. tax legislation could differ materially from our current estimates.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted wide-ranging tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Act. The 2017 Tax Act significantly revises U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, creating a partial territorial tax system that includes a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, and eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions.
Although we are still determining whether the 2017 Tax Act will ultimately benefit our results of operations and financial condition in future periods, primarily by reducing the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, we recorded a one-time net charge of $46.0 million within our income tax provision as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact of the 2017 Tax Act in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. We recorded this charge on a provisional basis, based on our present understanding of the 2017 Tax Act and other information available as of the time of the estimates, including assumptions and expectations about future events.
Although we believe these provisional amounts represent a reasonable estimate of the ultimate enactment-related impact the 2017 Tax Act will have on our consolidated financial statements, we may adjust these amounts materially as additional information becomes available and we complete further analyses. The impact of the 2017 Tax Act to our business in future

periods is also subject to a variety of factors beyond our control including, but not limited to, (i) potential amendments to the 2017 Tax Act; (ii) potential changes to state, local, and foreign tax laws in response to the 2017 Tax Act; and (iii) potential new or interpretative guidance issued by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Internal Revenue Service related to the 2017 Tax Act. Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materiality from our current expectations and/or investors’ expectations. Further, there are certain effects of the 2017 Tax Act we cannot reasonably estimate, including (a) the GILTI rules, (b) the FDII deduction, (c) the BEAT, (d) provisions eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as interest expense, and certain employee expenses, and (e) the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. As we gather, analyze, and consider additional data in the context of the 2017 Tax Act and ASC 740 Income Taxes, we may adjust in future periods our current estimates, but we will do so only during the measurement period prescribed by SAB 118. Any such adjustment may be material.
