Basis of Presentation of Our Financial Information
The accompanying historical unaudited condensed combined financial statements included in this report were derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BD. These condensed combined financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of BD’s Diabetes Care Business as they were historically managed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Therefore, the historical combined financial information may not be indicative of our future performance and does not necessarily reflect what our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Diabetes Care Business operated as a separate, publicly traded company during the periods presented, particularly because of changes that we expect to experience in the future as a result of our separation from BD, including changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs of our business. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
The condensed combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the BD corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Diabetes Care Business. During the first quarter of 2022, in contemplation of the
spin-off,
certain assets, liabilities, and operations attributable to the Diabetes Care Business were contributed to Embecta. The remaining assets, liabilities, operations or commitments and contingencies in respect of the Diabetes Care Business will be contributed prior to the
spin-off
date, at which such business is fully transferred to Embecta. BD uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by BD at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Diabetes Care Business and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the Diabetes Care Business would have financed its operations had it been a standalone company separate from BD during the periods presented. Cash pooling, related interest and intercompany arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the combined balance sheets. These amounts have instead been reported as
as a component of Parent’s Equity.
Additionally, BD provides certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human resources and other infrastructure support to the Diabetes Care Business. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Diabetes Care Business on the basis of the proportion of net sales, headcount, and other drivers. The Diabetes Care Business and BD consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the benefits received by the Diabetes Care Business. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Diabetes Care Business had been a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, such as information technology and infrastructure.
Subsequent to the completion of the separation, we expect to incur expenditures consisting of employee-related costs, costs to start up certain standalone functions and information technology systems and other
one-time
transaction related costs. Recurring standalone costs include establishing the internal audit, treasury, investor relations, tax and corporate secretary functions as well as the annual expenses associated with running an independent publicly traded company, including listing fees, compensation of
non-employee
directors, related board of director fees and other fees and expenses related to insurance, legal and external audit. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 we incurred separation and
stand-up
costs of approximately $8.4 million, reflected within
within the condensed combined statement of income, and as further discussed below. There were no
spin-off
costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2020.
Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.
We have or will enter into several agreements with BD to effect the
spin-off
and provide a framework for the relationship between BD and Embecta after the
spin-off,
including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement (TSA), manufacturing and supply agreements (MSAs), reverse manufacturing and supply agreements (RMSAs), an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, a lease agreement, and certain other commercial agreements. Certain functions that BD provided to the Diabetes Care Business prior to the distribution will either continue to be provided to Embecta by BD under the TSA or will be performed using Embecta’s own resources or third-party service providers. Additionally, under the MSAs, BD will manufacture certain products for and supply raw materials to Embecta and its subsidiaries and Embecta will manufacture certain products for BD and its subsidiaries. Lastly, BD and Embecta will enter into a Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement, in which Embecta owes BD a service fee calculated as 0.1% of annual revenues related to countries subject to the agreement, in exchange for the services provided by BD pursuant to the agreement.
