Introductory Note

Except where the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar words or phrases are to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Caution regarding forward-looking information and statements and “Safe-Harbor” statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

 To the extent any statements made in this Form 10-Q contain information that is not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and may be forward-looking information within the meaning defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”).

 These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: the expected benefits of our acquisitions and other transactions, such as cost savings, operating synergies and growth potential of the Company; business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products; exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes and interest rate changes; the outcome of contingencies, such as certain litigation and regulatory proceedings; general market conditions; and our expectations regarding our financial performance, including revenues, expenses, gross margins, liquidity and income taxes.

 Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “continue”, “will”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “target”, “potential”, “opportunity”, “tentative”, “positioning”, “designed”, “create”, “predict”, “project”, “seek“, “ongoing”, “increase”, or “upside” and variations or other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although we have indicated above certain of these statements set out herein, all of the statements in this Form 10-Q that contain forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements. These statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, factors and assumptions regarding the items outlined above. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following:

• the challenges and difficulties associated with managing the rapid growth of our Company and a larger, more complex business;

• the introduction of generic competitors of our brand products;

• the introduction of products that compete against our products that do not have patent or data exclusivity rights, which products represent a significant portion of our revenues;

• our ability to compete against companies that are larger and have greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as other competitive factors, such as technological advances achieved, patents obtained and new products introduced by our competitors;

• our ability to identify, finance, acquire, close and integrate acquisition targets successfully and on a timely basis;

• factors relating to the integration of the companies, businesses and products acquired by the Company (including the integration relating to our recent acquisitions of PreCision Dermatology, Inc. (“PreCision”), Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta Medical”), and Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”)), such as the time and resources required to integrate such companies, businesses and products, the difficulties associated with such integrations (including potential disruptions in sales activities and potential challenges with information technology systems integrations), the difficulties and challenges associated with entering into new business areas and new geographic markets, the difficulties, challenges

ii

and costs associated with managing and integrating new facilities, equipment and other assets, and the achievement of the anticipated benefits from such integrations;

• factors relating to our ability to achieve all of the estimated synergies from our acquisitions as a result of cost-rationalization and integration initiatives. These factors may include greater than expected operating costs, the difficulty in eliminating certain duplicative costs, facilities and functions, and the outcome of many operational and strategic decisions, some of which have not yet been made;

• the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between the Company and Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”), including the ultimate removal or the failure to render inapplicable the obstacles to consummation of such transaction, or the possibility that the Company will not continue to pursue a transaction with Allergan and factors relating to the time, resources and efforts expended in pursuing a transaction with Allergan;

• ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the proposed Allergan transaction, including all necessary stockholder approvals, on a timely basis;

• if a transaction between the Company and Allergan occurs, the ultimate outcome and results of integrating the operations of the Company and Allergan, the ultimate outcome of the Company’s pricing and operating strategy applied to Allergan and the ultimate ability to realize synergies;

• the effects of the business combination of the Company and Allergan, including the combined company’s future financial condition, operating results, strategy and plans;

• our ability to secure and maintain third party research, development, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements;

• our eligibility for benefits under tax treaties and the continued availability of low effective tax rates for the business profits of certain of our subsidiaries;

• our substantial debt and debt service obligations and their impact on our financial condition and results of operations;

• our future cash flow, our ability to service and repay our existing debt and our ability to raise additional funds, if needed, in light of our current and projected levels of operations, acquisition activity and general economic conditions;

• interest rate risks associated with our floating rate debt borrowings;

• the risks associated with the international scope of our operations, including our presence in emerging markets and the challenges we face when entering new geographic markets (including the challenges created by new and different regulatory regimes in those markets);

• adverse global economic conditions and credit market and foreign currency exchange uncertainty in the countries in which we do business (such as the recent instability in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East);

• economic factors over which the Company has no control, including changes in inflation, interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the potential effect of such factors on revenues, expenses and resulting margins;

• our ability to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees;

• our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property rights over our products and defend against challenge to such intellectual property;

• the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and regulatory proceedings;

• the risk that our products could cause, or be alleged to cause, personal injury and adverse effects, leading to potential lawsuits and/or withdrawals of products from the market;

• the availability of and our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance coverage and/or our ability to cover or insure against the total amount of the claims and liabilities we face, whether through third party insurance or self-insurance;

• the difficulty in predicting the expense, timing and outcome within our legal and regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada and other regulatory approvals, legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements thereof, the protection afforded by our patents and other intellectual and proprietary property, successful generic challenges to our products and infringement or alleged infringement of the intellectual property of others;

iii

• the results of continuing safety and efficacy studies by industry and government agencies;

• the availability and extent to which our products are reimbursed by government authorities and other third party payors, as well as the impact of obtaining or maintaining such reimbursement on the price of our products;

• the inclusion of our products on formularies or our ability to achieve favorable formulary status, as well as the impact on the price of our products in connection therewith;

• the impact of price control restrictions on our products, including the risk of mandated price reductions;

• the success of preclinical and clinical trials for our drug development pipeline or delays in clinical trials that adversely impact the timely commercialization of our pipeline products, as well as factors impacting the commercial success of our currently marketed products, which could lead to material impairment charges;

• the results of management reviews of our research and development portfolio, conducted periodically and in connection with certain acquisitions, the decisions from which could result in terminations of specific projects which, in turn, could lead to material impairment charges;

• negative publicity or reputational harm to our products and business, including as faced in connection with our proposed transaction with Allergan;

• the uncertainties associated with the acquisition and launch of new products, including, but not limited to, the acceptance and demand for new pharmaceutical products, and the impact of competitive products and pricing;

• our ability to obtain components, raw materials or finished products supplied by third parties and other manufacturing and related supply difficulties, interruptions and delays;

• the disruption of delivery of our products and the routine flow of manufactured goods;

• the seasonality of sales of certain of our products;

• declines in the pricing and sales volume of certain of our products that are distributed by third parties, over which we have no or limited control;

• compliance with, or the failure to comply with, health care “fraud and abuse” laws and other extensive regulation of our marketing, promotional and pricing practices, worldwide anti-bribery laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), worldwide environmental laws and regulation and privacy and security regulations;

• the impacts of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (as amended) and other legislative and regulatory healthcare reforms in the countries in which we operate;

• interruptions, breakdowns or breaches in our information technology systems; and

• other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”), as well as our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with the foregoing.

 Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements may be found under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC and CSA. We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect actual outcomes, except as required by law.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices), which are marketed directly or indirectly in over 100 countries. Effective August 9, 2013, the Company continued from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the Province of British Columbia, meaning that the Company became a company registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia as if it had been incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. As a result of this continuance, the legal domicile of the Company became the Province of British Columbia, the Canada Business Corporations Act ceased to apply to the Company and the Company became subject to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. 

On August 5, 2013, the Company acquired Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) dated May 24, 2013, with B&L surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Valeant”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “B&L Acquisition”).

For further information regarding the B&L Acquisition, see note 3 titled “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS”.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (the “unaudited consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, except as described below under “Adoption of New Accounting Standards”. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation. Such amounts include a reclassification of $52.8 million recognized in the third quarter of 2013 related to B&L's previously cancelled performance-based options and the acceleration of unvested stock options for B&L employees from Restructuring, integration and other costs to Other (income) expense on the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s results of operations and financial position could be materially impacted.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(All tabular amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice in presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new guidance, unrecognized tax benefits are netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforward that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance which changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or group of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on operations and financial results is a discontinued operation when any of the following occurs: (i) it meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, (ii) it is disposed of by sale, or (iii) it is disposed of other than by sale. Also, a business that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as disclosure of the pre-tax profit or loss attributable to a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The Company early adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2014, and the Company applied this guidance to the divestitures described in note 4 titled “DIVESTITURES”.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Annual Pharmaceutical Fee

In July 2014, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations related to the branded pharmaceutical drug annual fee pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Under the final regulations, an entity’s obligation to pay the annual fee is triggered by qualifying sales in the current year, rather than the liability being triggered upon the first qualifying sale of the following year. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2014, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of September 30, 2014

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity will: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition to these provisions, the new standard provides implementation guidance on several other topics, including the accounting for certain revenue-related costs, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enables users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new guidance, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations and, as this time, the Company does not expect any impact on its disclosures.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company’s business strategy involves selective acquisitions with a focus on core geographies and therapeutic classes.

(a) Business combinations in 2014 included the following:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(All tabular amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company completed business combinations, which included the acquisition of the following businesses, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,046.6 million. The aggregate purchase price included contingent consideration payment obligations with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $65.1 million.

• On July 7, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of PreCision Dermatology, Inc. (“PreCision”) for an aggregate purchase price of $454.5 million. The Company may also pay contingent consideration of $25.0 million upon the achievement of a sales-based milestone for 2014. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined to be nominal as of the acquisition date, based on the current sales forecast. The Company recognized a post-combination expense of $20.4 million within Other (income) expense in the third quarter of 2014 related to the acceleration of unvested stock options for PreCision employees. In connection with the acquisition of PreCision, the Company was required by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) to divest the rights to PreCision’s Tretin-X® (tretinoin) cream product and PreCision’s generic tretinoin gel and cream products. For further details, see note 4 titled “DIVESTITURES”. PreCision develops and markets a range of medical dermatology products, treating a number of topical disease states such as acne and atopic dermatitis with products such as Locoid® and Clindagel®.

• On January 23, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta Medical”) for $292.5 million, which includes $2.92 per share in cash and $44.2 million for the repayment of Solta Medical’s long-term debt, including accrued interest. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized a charge of $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 relating to a settlement of a pre-existing relationship with Solta Medical, which is included in Other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Solta Medical designs, develops, manufactures, and markets energy-based medical device systems for aesthetic applications. Solta Medical’s products include the Thermage CPT® system that provides non-invasive treatment options using radiofrequency energy for skin tightening, the Fraxel® repair system for use in dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation, and resurfacing of soft tissue, the Clear + Brilliant® system to improve skin texture and help prevent the signs of aging skin, and the Liposonix® system that destroys unwanted fat cells resulting in waist circumference reduction.

• During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company completed other smaller acquisitions which are not material individually or in the aggregate. These acquisitions are included in the aggregated amounts presented below.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

These transactions have been accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the business combinations, in the aggregate, as of the applicable acquisition dates. Due to the timing of the PreCision acquisition, all such amounts are provisional and subject to change. The following recognized amounts related to the Solta Medical acquisition, as well as certain smaller acquisitions, are provisional and subject to change:

• amounts for intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, receivables and other working capital adjustments pending finalization of the valuation;

• amounts for income tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction; and

• amount of goodwill pending the completion of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement processes. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates may result in retrospective adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition dates. These changes could be significant. The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.

________________________

(a) The measurement period adjustments primarily relate to the Solta Medical acquisition and reflect: (i) increases in the estimated fair value of intangible assets, (ii) reductions in the estimated fair value of inventory, and (iii) the tax impact of pre-tax measurement period adjustments. The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.

(b) The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $57.3 million, with the gross contractual amount being $61.7 million, of which the Company expects that $4.4 million will be uncollectible.

(c) Assets held for sale relate to the divestitures of the Tretin-X® product rights and the product rights for the generic tretinoin gel and cream products acquired in the PreCision acquisition. See note 4 titled “DIVESTITURES” for further information.

(d) The following table summarizes the provisional amounts and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets:

	Weighted-  Average Useful Lives (Years)	Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Dates		Measurement Period Adjustments			Amounts Recognized as of September 30, 2014 (as adjusted)
Product brands	10	$	468.4	$	14.2		$	482.6

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired	10	$	590.3	$	15.0		$	605.3

(e) The acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets primarily relate to programs from smaller acquisitions. In addition, the Solta Medical acquisition includes a program for the development of a next generation Thermage® product.

(f) The goodwill relates primarily to the PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Substantially all of the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded from the PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions represents the following:

• cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of PreCision and Solta Medical with those of the Company;

• the Company’s expectation to develop and market new products and technology; and

(All tabular amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

• intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Precision’s and Solta Medical’s assembled workforce).

The provisional amount of goodwill from the PreCision acquisition has been allocated to the Company’s Developed Markets segment ($181.3 million). The provisional amount of goodwill from the Solta Medical acquisition has been allocated to both the Company’s Developed Markets segment ($64.4 million) and Emerging Markets segment ($42.9 million).

Acquisition-Related Costs

The Company has incurred to date $4.2 million, in the aggregate, of transaction costs directly related to business combinations which closed in 2014, which includes expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and other similar services. These costs have been expensed as acquisition-related costs.

Revenue and Net Loss

The revenues of these business combinations for the period from the respective acquisition dates to September 30, 2014 were $133.0 million, in the aggregate, and net loss was $44.4 million, in the aggregate. The net loss includes the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments and acquisition-related costs.

(b) Business combinations in 2013 included the following:

B&L

Description of the Transaction

On August 5, 2013, the Company acquired B&L, pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated May 24, 2013 (as amended), among the Company, Valeant, Stratos Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant (“Merger Sub”), and B&L. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, B&L became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant. At the effective time of this merger, each share of B&L common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to such effective time, other than any dissenting shares and any shares held by B&L, Valeant, Merger Sub or any of their subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive its pro rata share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest, of an aggregate purchase price equal to $8.7 billion minus B&L’s existing indebtedness for borrowed money (which was paid off by Valeant in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) and related fees and costs, minus certain of B&L’s transaction expenses, minus certain payments with respect to certain cancelled B&L performance-based options (which were not outstanding immediately prior to such effective time), plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to B&L’s outstanding options immediately prior to such effective time, and plus certain cash amounts, all as further described in the Merger Agreement. The B&L Acquisition was financed with debt and equity issuances. Each B&L restricted share and stock option, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to such effective time, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the case of restricted shares or, in the case of stock options, the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such stock option.

B&L is a global eye health company that focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and marketing of eye health products, including contact lenses, contact lens care solutions, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic surgical products.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

The following table indicates the consideration transferred to effect the B&L Acquisition:

(b) The measurement period adjustments primarily reflect: (i) a decrease in the net deferred tax liability, (ii) a reduction in the estimated fair value of inventory, (iii) an increase in the estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment mainly related to certain machinery and equipment in Western Europe and the U.S., partially offset by a reduction in the estimated fair value related to certain manufacturing facilities and an office building, (iv) an adjustment between cash and accounts payable, and (v) increases in the estimated fair value of intangible assets, which included a net increase to IPR&D assets driven by a higher fair value for the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra®). The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.

(c) The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $540.7 million, with the gross contractual amount being $555.6 million, of which the Company expects that $14.9 million will be uncollectible.

(d) Includes an estimated fair value adjustment to inventory of $269.1 million.

(e) Includes primarily prepaid expenses.

(f) The following table summarizes the amounts and useful lives assigned to property, plant and equipment:

The Company sold an office building in Rochester, New York, with an adjusted carrying amount of $14.2 million, in the third quarter of 2014.There was no gain or loss associated with the sale.

(g) The following table summarizes the amounts and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets:

	Weighted-  Average Useful Lives (Years)	Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as previously reported)		Measurement Period Adjustments		Amounts Recognized as of September 30, 2014 (as adjusted)

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired	9	$	4,316.1	$	17.3	$	4,333.4

The corporate brand represents the B&L corporate trademark and has an indefinite useful life as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful life of this intangible asset. The estimated fair value was determined using the relief from royalty method.

(h) The significant components of the acquired IPR&D assets primarily relate to the development of (i) various vision care products ($223.4 million in the aggregate), such as the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra®), (ii) various pharmaceutical products ($170.9 million, in the aggregate), such as latanoprostene bunod, a nitric oxide-donating prostaglandin for reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and (iii) various surgical products ($20.8 million, in the aggregate). A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired IPR&D assets from market participant perspective. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 10% was used to present value the projected cash flows. The next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra®) was launched in February 2014.

(i) Includes accrued liabilities, including reserves for sales returns, rebates and managed care, accounts payable and accrued compensation-related liabilities.

(l) Includes $224.2 million related to the estimated fair value of pension and other benefits liabilities.

(m) Represents the estimated fair value of B&L’s noncontrolling interest related primarily to Chinese joint ventures. A discounted cash flow methodology was used to determine the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

(n) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

• the Company’s expectation to develop and market new product brands, product lines and technology;

• cost savings and operating synergies expected to result from combining the operations of B&L with those of the Company;

• the value of the continuing operations of B&L’s existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

• intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, B&L’s assembled workforce).

The amount of goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Developed Markets segment($3.3 billion) and Emerging Markets segment ($1.1 billion).

Other Business Combinations

Description of the Transactions

In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed other business combinations, which included the acquisition of the following businesses, for an aggregate purchase price of $898.1 million. The aggregate purchase price included contingent consideration payment obligations with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $59.1 million.

• On April 25, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (“Obagi”) at a price of $24.00 per share in cash. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company was approximately $437.1 million.

• During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed other smaller acquisitions which are not material individually or in the aggregate. These acquisitions are included in the aggregated amounts presented below.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

These transactions have been accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the business combinations, in the aggregate, as of the applicable acquisition dates.

________________________

(a) The measurement period adjustments primarily reflect an increase in the total fair value of consideration transferred with respect to the Natur Produkt acquisition pursuant to a purchase price adjustment. The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.

(b) The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired was $64.5 million, with the gross contractual amount being $68.2 million, of which the Company expects that $3.7 million will be uncollectible.

(c) The following table summarizes the amounts and useful lives assigned to identifiable intangible assets:

(d) The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the Obagi and Natur Produkt acquisitions. Obagi’s acquired IPR&D assets primarily relate to the development of dermatology products for anti-aging and suncare. Natur Produkt’s acquired IPR&D assets include a product indicated for the prevention of viral diseases, specifically cold and flu, and a product indicated for the treatment of inflammation and muscular disorders.

(e) Short-term borrowings and long-term debt primarily relate to the Natur Produkt acquisition. In March 2013, the Company settled all of Natur Produkt’s outstanding third party short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

(f) Represents the estimated fair value of noncontrolling interest related to a smaller acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2013.

(g) The goodwill relates primarily to the Obagi and Natur Produkt acquisitions. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of Obagi’s and Natur Produkt’s goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.The goodwill recorded from the Obagi and the Natur Produkt acquisitions represents primarily the cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations with those of the Company.

The amount of goodwill from the Eisai acquisition has been allocated to the Company’s Developed Markets segment. The amount of goodwill from the Natur Produkt acquisition has been allocated to the Company’s Emerging Markets segment. The amount of goodwill from the Obagi acquisition has been allocated primarily to the Company’s Developed Markets segment.

Pro Forma Impact of Business Combinations

The following table presents unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as if the 2014 acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2013 and the 2013 acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2012.

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013			2014		2013
Revenues	$	2,060.2	$	1,867.3		$	6,039.6	$	5,794.9
Net income (loss) attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.	279.8		(907.8		)	376.1		(1,023.9		)
Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.:
Basic	$	0.83	$	(2.72	)	$	1.12	$	(3.07	)
Diluted	$	0.82	$	(2.72	)	$	1.10	$	(3.07	)

The increase in pro forma revenues in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to higher B&L revenues and growth from the remaining business, including the launches of Jublia®, Luzu™, and Retin-A Micro® Microsphere 0.08% ("RAM 0.08%"). These increases were partially offset by lower sales of the Vanos®, Retin-A Micro® (excluding RAM 0.08%), and Zovirax® franchises and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada) due to generic competition and lower sales of facial injectables (filler and toxin assets).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information of the Company and the acquired businesses described above. Except to the extent realized in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits that the Company may achieve as a result of these acquisitions, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits. In addition, except to the extent recognized in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with those of the acquired businesses.

(Unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the 2014 acquisitions and the 2013 acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2012, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to project the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited pro forma information reflects primarily the following adjustments:

• elimination of the historical intangible asset amortization expense of these acquisitions;

• additional amortization expense related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired;

• additional depreciation expense related to fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment acquired;

• additional interest expense associated with the financing obtained by the Company in connection with the various acquisitions; and

• the exclusion from pro forma earnings in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 of (i) the acquisition accounting adjustments on these acquisitions’ inventories that were sold subsequent to the acquisition date and (ii) the acquisition-related costs incurred for these acquisitions, and the inclusion of those amounts in pro forma earnings for the corresponding comparative periods.

In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

4. DIVESTITURES

Divestiture of Filler and Toxin Assets

On July 10, 2014, the Company sold all rights to Restylane®, Perlane®, Emervel®, Sculptra®, and Dysport® owned or held by the Company to Galderma S.A. (“Galderma”) for approximately $1.4 billion in cash. These assets were included primarily in the Company's Developed Markets segment. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of $323.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 within Other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of income (loss). The costs to sell for this divestiture of approximately $43 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2014 and included as part of the net gain on sale (netted against the proceeds in the consolidated statements of cash flows). As this divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on operations and financial results, a discontinued operations presentation was not appropriate.

Sale of Metronidazole 1.3%

On July 1, 2014, the Company sold the worldwide rights in its Metronidazole 1.3% Vaginal Gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, to Actavis Specialty Brands for upfront and certain milestone payments of $10.0 million, in the aggregate, and minimum royalties for the first three years of commercialization.  This asset was included in the Company's Developed Markets segment. In addition, royalties are payable to the Company beyond the initial three-year commercialization period. In the event of generic competition on Metronidazole 1.3%, should Actavis Specialty Brands choose to launch an authorized generic product, Actavis Specialty Brands would share the gross profits of the authorized generic with the Company.  The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Metronidazole 1.3% in March 2014. In connection with the sale of the Metronidazole 1.3%, the Company recognized a loss on sale of $58.5 million, as the Company’s accounting policy is to not recognize contingent payments until such amounts are realizable. The loss on sale was included within Other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of income (loss). As this divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on operations and financial results, a discontinued operations presentation was not appropriate.

Divestiture of Tretin-X® and Generic Tretinoin

In connection with the acquisition of PreCision, the Company was required by the FTC to divest the rights to PreCision’s Tretin-X® (tretinoin) cream product and PreCision’s generic tretinoin gel and cream products. In July 2014, the Tretin-X product rights were sold to Watson Laboratories, Inc. for an up-front purchase price of $70 million, and the generic tretinoin products rights were sold to Matawan Pharmaceuticals, LLC ("Matawan") for an up-front purchase price of $45 million plus additional contingent payments. In connection with the sale of the generic tretinoin product rights to Matawan, the Company recognized a loss on sale of $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 within Other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of income (loss), as the Company’s accounting policy is to not recognize contingent payments until such amounts are realizable. There was no gain or loss associated with the sale of the Tretin-X product rights. As these divestitures do not

represent strategic shifts that have or will have, a major effect on operations and financial results, a discontinued operations presentation was not appropriate.

5. CO-PROMOTION AGREEMENTS

Zovirax Authorized Generic Agreement and Termination of Co-Promotion Agreements

In April 2014, the Company and Actavis, Inc. (“Actavis”) signed an agreement terminating their previously-announced co-promotion agreement for Cordran® Tape, pursuant to which Actavis had granted the Company the exclusive right to co-promote Actavis Specialty Brands’ Cordran® Tape product in the U.S. Following the termination, the Company no longer has any rights to co-promote the Cordran® Tape product. In addition, in April 2014, the Company and Actavis signed an agreement terminating their co-promotion agreement for Zovirax® cream, pursuant to which the Company had granted Actavis the exclusive right to co-promote Zovirax® cream to obstetricians and gynecologists in the U.S. Following the termination, Actavis no longer has any rights to co-promote Zovirax® cream. Amounts received by the Company with respect to these terminations were not significant.

However, notwithstanding the termination of the co-promotion arrangements, Actavis continues to be the exclusive marketer and distributor of the authorized generic of the Company’s Zovirax® ointment product (other than to certain dispensing physicians) (the “Zovirax® ointment agreement”). Under the terms of the exclusive Zovirax® ointment agreement, the Company is continuing to supply Actavis with a generic version of the Company’s Zovirax® ointment product, Actavis is continuing to market and distribute the product in the U.S. (other than to certain dispensing physicians) and the Company continues to receive a share of the economics.

6. RESTRUCTURING, INTEGRATION AND OTHER COSTS

In connection with the B&L and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Medicis”) acquisitions, as well as other smaller acquisitions, the Company has implemented cost-rationalization and integration initiatives to capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures included:

• workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

• closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

• leveraging research and development spend; and

• procurement savings.

B&L Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The Company estimates that it will incur total costs of approximately $600 million (excluding charges of $52.8 million described below) in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2014. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $554.6 million (including $56.7 million related to cost-rationalization measures at a contact lens manufacturing plant in Waterford, Ireland as described below) have been incurred through September 30, 2014, including (i) $302.2 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $239.0 million of integration expenses, and (iii) $13.4 million of acquisition-related costs. The estimate of total costs to be incurred primarily includes: employee termination costs payable to approximately 3,000 employees of the Company and B&L who have been or will be terminated as a result of the B&L Acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. The costs described above do not include charges of $52.8 million, in the aggregate, recognized and paid in the third quarter of 2013 related to B&L’s previously cancelled performance-based options and the acceleration of unvested stock options for B&L employees as a result of the B&L Acquisition. As described in note 2 titled “SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES”, the charges of $52.8 million were reclassified to Other (income) expense to conform to the current year presentation.

B&L Restructuring Costs

B&L Integration Costs

As mentioned above, the Company has incurred $239.0 million of integration costs related to the B&L Acquisition since the acquisition date. In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $123.0 million and $45.8 million, respectively, of integration costs related to the B&L Acquisition, which related primarily to integration consulting and manufacturing, duplicate labor, transition service, and other costs. The Company made payments of $128.5 million and $40.4 million related to B&L integration costs during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In addition to the restructuring and integration costs described above, the Company incurred $56.7 million of restructuring costs in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 related to employee termination costs with respect to cost-rationalization measures at a contact lens manufacturing plant in Waterford, Ireland (the plant was acquired as part of the B&L Acquisition). The Company made payments of $17.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 with respect to this initiative.

Medicis Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The Company estimates that it will incur total costs of approximately $200 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which were substantially completed by the end of 2013. However, additional costs have been incurred in 2014, and the Company expects to incur certain costs during the next six months. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $193.1 million (excluding the charge of $77.3 million described below), including (i) $109.2 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $51.7 million of integration expenses, and (iii) $32.2 million of acquisition-related costs, which excludes $24.2 million of acquisition-related costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to royalties to be paid to Galderma on sales of Sculptra®, have been incurred through September 30, 2014. In connection with the divestiture of Sculptra® and certain other products to Galderma in July 2014, the royalty obligation owed to Galderma on sales of Sculptra® was relieved in the third quarter of 2014 and included as part of the gain on sale. See note 4 “DIVESTITURES” for additional information regarding this divestiture. The estimated costs primarily include: employee termination costs payable to approximately 750 employees of the Company and Medicis who have been terminated as a result of the Medicis acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following fair value hierarchy table presents the components and classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

(1) Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at acquisition, primarily including money market funds, reflected in the balance sheet at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

In addition to the cash equivalents (described under the table above), the Company has time deposits valued at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of $33.1 million and $25.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to these investments is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These investments are Level 2.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold its investment in available-for-sale equity securities and realized a gain of $3.4 million.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

(Unaudited)

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs include (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based; and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014:

	Balance, January 1, 2014			Issuances(a)			Payments(b)		Net Unrealized Loss(c)			Foreign Exchange(d)		Transfers Into Level 3		Transfers Out of Level 3		Balance, September 30, 2014
Acquisition-related contingent consideration	$	(355.8	)	$	(65.1	)	$	106.1	$	(14.8	)	$	1.8	$	—	$	—	$	(327.8	)

____________________________________

(a) Primarily relates to a contingent consideration liability assumed in the Solta Medical acquisition, as well as contingent consideration with respect to other smaller acquisitions, as described in note 3.

(b) Relates primarily to payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the OraPharma Topco Holdings, Inc. and Eisai (Targretin®) acquisitions and the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into with Meda Pharma SARL (“Meda”) in June 2011 (the “Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement”).

(c) For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a net loss of $14.8 million was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The acquisition-related contingent consideration net loss was primarily driven by fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement.

(d) Included in other comprehensive (loss) income.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

There were no significant assets or liabilities that were re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

8. INVENTORIES

The components of inventories as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	As of September 30, 2014			As of December 31, 2013
Raw materials	$	241.1		$	221.8
Work in process	108.1			104.7
Finished goods	697.3			656.3
	1,046.5			982.8
Less allowance for obsolescence	(113.8		)	(99.8		)
	$	932.7		$	883.0

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the increase in inventories was primarily driven by (i) the 2014 acquisitions of businesses, primarily from the $30.3 million and $18.8 million of inventory acquired in the Solta Medical and PreCision acquisitions, respectively, and (ii) investments in inventory (inclusive of cost increases) to support growth of the business.

For further information regarding the 2014 acquisitions of businesses, see note 3 titled “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS”.

____________________________________

(1) In the third quarter of 2014, the Company wrote-off IPR&D assets of $19.9 million primarily related to analysis of Phase 2 study data for a dermatological product candidate acquired in the December 2012 Medicis acquisition.

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company wrote-off an IPR&D asset of $93.8 million related to a modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine.

The write-offs of the IPR&D assets were recorded in In-process research and development impairments and other charges in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

(2) Represents the B&L corporate trademark, which has an indefinite useful life and is not amortizable. See note 3 “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS” for further information.

The decrease in intangible assets, net primarily reflects (i) the divestitures of filler and toxin assets and Metronidazole 1.3% in July 2014, (ii) amortization expense, and (iii) the negative impact of foreign currency exchange. These factors were partially offset by the acquisition of the PreCision and Solta Medical identifiable intangible assets (as described in note 3). See note 4 “DIVESTITURES” for further information related to the divestitures of filler and toxin assets and Metronidazole 1.3%. The reduction in Acquired IPR&D is largely driven by the reclassification to finite-lived intangible assets with respect to Jublia®, which received regulatory approval in the first half of 2014.

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets amounted to $393.1 million and $1,113.9 million in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $910.2 million and $1,540.0 million in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 included a $32.4 million write-off in the third quarter of 2014 related to Grifulvin®, an anti-fungal product within the Developed Markets segment. The write-off was driven by withdrawal of the supplemental Abbreviated New Drug Application, which resulted from assessment of extended timelines and increased costs associated with a change in the supplier and the manufacturing process, based on feedback received from the FDA.

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 included a $551.6 million impairment charge in the third quarter of 2013 related to ezogabine/retigabine (immediate-release formulation), which is included within the Developed Markets segment. This product is co-developed and marketed under a collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”). This impairment charge was driven by analysis of expected future cash flows based on the communication received from the FDA in September 2013 regarding labeling changes and a required modification of the approved risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS), which includes restrictions on distribution and additional patient monitoring. Further, as a result of this feedback received from the FDA, GSK decided that all sales force promotion for the product would be eliminated in the U.S., and they will not launch the product in certain other planned territories. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement with GSK, GSK controls all sales force promotion for the product. Such changes are expected to have a significant impact on future cash flows of ezogabine/retigabine.

Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years ending December 31 is as follows:

(1) Together, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities” under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).

(2) On October 15, 2014, Valeant redeemed all of the outstanding $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) for $518.2 million, including a call premium of $16.9 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and satisfied and discharged the 2017 Notes indenture, solely with respect to the 2017 Notes (the 7.00% senior notes due 2020, issued under the same indenture, remain outstanding at this time). The balance of the 2017 Notes was reclassified to Current portion of long-term debt as of September 30, 2014.

(3) Relates primarily to the debentures from B&L.

The Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and indentures related to its senior notes contain customary covenants, including, among other things, and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, covenants that restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; create or permit liens on assets; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; make certain investments and other restricted payments; engage in mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and amalgamations; transfer and sell certain assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates.

The Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain specified financial covenants (consisting of a secured leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio), various customary affirmative covenants and specified events of default. The Company’s indentures also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and specified events of default.

The total fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current portion, with carrying values of $16.3 billion and $17.4 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $16.8 billion and $18.4 billion, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using the quoted market prices for the same or similar debt issuances (Level 2).

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On February 6, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement to reprice and refinance the Company’s previous Series E tranche B term loans (the “Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility”) by the

(All tabular amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

issuance of $2.95 billion in new term loans (the “Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). Term loans under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and proceeds of the additional Series A-3 tranche A term loans issuance (the “Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility”) described below. The applicable margins for borrowings under the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility are 2.0% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.0% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings, subject to a 1.75% base rate floor and a 0.75% LIBO rate floor. The Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility has terms consistent with the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $93.7 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

Concurrently, on February 6, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement for the issuance of $225.6 million in incremental term loans under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility. Proceeds from this transaction were used to repay part of the term loans outstanding under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the effective rate of interest on the Company’s borrowings was as follows: (i) 2.42% per annum under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) 2.41% per annum under the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, the Series A-2 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, and the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, (iii) 3.75% per annum under both the Series D-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Series C-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, and (iv) 3.86% under the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company made principal payments of $1.1 billion, in the aggregate, which included (1) principal payments of $1.0 billion, in the aggregate, related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, resulting in a principal reduction as follows: (i) $380.0 million under the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, (ii) $274.5 million under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, (iii) $165.4 million under the Series D-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, (iv) $127.2 million under the Series C-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, and (v) $27.5 million and $25.4 million under the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Series A-2 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, respectively, and (2) a voluntary prepayment of the scheduled December 2014 amortization payments applicable to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, resulting in an aggregate principal reduction of $70.3 million.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Company’s outstanding debt.

11. SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On November 21, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2013 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 22, 2013, the Company may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2013 Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 21, 2014 or at such time as the Company completes its purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements and applicable law. The securities to be repurchased will be funded using our cash resources.

On November 19, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2012 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 15, 2012, the Company could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2012 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 14, 2013.

Share Repurchases

No common shares were repurchased during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 507,957 of its common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $35.7 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the common shares repurchased of $25.8 million was charged to the accumulated deficit. These common shares were subsequently cancelled.

Total Repurchases under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program

As of September 30, 2014, the Company has not made any purchases of our senior notes or common shares under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.

Additional Repurchases outside the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program

In addition to the repurchases made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased an additional 217,294 of its common shares on behalf of certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors, in connection with the share settlement of certain deferred stock units and restricted stock units held by such directors following the termination of the applicable equity program. These common shares were subsequently transferred to such directors. These common shares were repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $19.9 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the common shares repurchased of $15.6 million was charged to the accumulated deficit. As the common shares were repurchased on behalf of certain of the Company’s directors, these repurchases were not made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program.

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2014, shareholders approved the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which replaced the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) for future equity awards granted by the Company. The Company transferred the common shares available under the 2011 Plan to the 2014 Plan. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued to participants under the 2014 Plan is equal to 18,000,000 common shares, plus the number of common shares under the 2011 Plan reserved but unissued and not underlying outstanding awards and the number of common shares becoming available for reuse after awards are terminated, forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered under the 2011 Plan and the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. The Company registered, in the aggregate, 20,000,000 common shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan. Approximately 17,611,183 shares were available for future grants as of September 30, 2014. The Company uses reserved and unissued common shares to satisfy its obligation under its share-based compensation plans.

The following table summarizes the components and classification of share-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Stock options	$	5.4	$	4.6	$	14.7	$	12.8
RSUs	14.8		11.4		45.9		19.7
Share-based compensation expense	$	20.2	$	16.0	$	60.6	$	32.5
Research and development expenses	$	1.4	$	—	$	4.2	$	—
Selling, general and administrative expenses	18.8		16.0		56.4		32.5
Share-based compensation expense	$	20.2	$	16.0	$	60.6	$	32.5

The increase in share-based compensation expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 was driven primarily by (i) the incremental compensation expense related to the higher fair value for share-based awards granted subsequent to the third quarter of 2013 and (ii) the impact of the accelerated vesting in the first half of 2014 related to certain performance-based RSU awards.

In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted approximately 261,000 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $117.82 per option and approximately 912,000 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $84.51 per option, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted to employees in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $62.15 and $26.10, respectively.

In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted approximately94,000time-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $135.06per RSU and approximately 95,000 time-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $73.90 per RSU, respectively.

(Unaudited)

In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted approximately 410,000 performance-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $209.72per RSU and approximately 338,000 performance-based RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $125.04 per RSU, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs amounted to $169.6 million, in the aggregate, which will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 3.41 years.

13. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

In connection with the B&L Acquisition completed on August 5, 2013, the Company assumed all of B&L’s defined benefit obligations and related plan assets. This includes defined benefit plans and a participatory defined benefit postretirement medical and life insurance plan, which cover a closed grandfathered group of legacy B&L U.S. employees and employees in certain other countries. The U.S. defined benefit accruals were frozen as of December 31, 2004 and benefits that were earned up to December 31, 2004 were preserved. Participants continue to earn interest credits on their cash balance. The most significant non-U.S. plans are two defined benefit plans in Ireland. Both Ireland plans were closed to future service benefit accruals in 2011. All of the pension benefits that were earned prior to the closure of the plans were preserved; however, the only additional benefits that accrue are annual salary and inflation increases. The postretirement benefit plan was amended effective January 1, 2005 to eliminate employer contributions after age 65 for participants who did not meet the minimum requirements of age and service on that date. The employer contributions for medical and prescription drug benefits for participants retiring after March 1, 1989 were frozen effective January 1, 2010. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company no longer offers medical and life insurance coverage to new retirees.

Net Periodic (Benefit) Cost

The following table provides the components of net periodic (benefit) cost for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plan for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company contributed $8.5 million and $6.9 million to the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension benefit plans, respectively. In 2014, the Company expects to contribute $10.8 million and $8.5 million to the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension benefit plans, respectively, inclusive of amounts contributed to the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension plans during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

(1) On June 24, 2013, the Company completed, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs Canada, Inc., a public offering of 27,058,824 of its common shares, no par value, at a price of $85.00 per share, or aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion. In connection with the issuance of these new common shares, the Company incurred approximately $30.7 millionof issuance costs, which has been reflected as reduction to the gross proceeds from the equity issuance.

(2) During the second quarter of 2013, 225,000 common shares were repurchased by the Company pursuant to a purchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. Under this purchase program, the repurchases were made by Goldman, Sachs & Co. in compliance with Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 217,294 of these common shares were repurchased on behalf of certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and were subsequently transferred to such directors, in connection with the share settlement of certain deferred stock units and restricted stock units held by such directors following the termination of the applicable equity program. The remaining 7,706 common shares were repurchased on behalf of the Company pursuant to the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program (and therefore these shares are included in the 507,957 of total common shares repurchased under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2013) and were subsequently cancelled (see note 11 titled “SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM” for further information).

Income taxes are not provided for foreign currency translation adjustments arising on the translation of the Company’s operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. Income taxes allocated to pension adjustments and reclassification adjustments were not material.

16. INCOME TAXES

In the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $100.3 million, comprised of $101.4 million related to the expected tax expense in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada and an income tax benefit of $1.1 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $124.4 million, comprised of $130.7 million related to the expected tax expense in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada and an income tax benefit of $6.3 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was different from the Company’s statutory Canadian tax rate due to (i) tax expense generated from the Company’s annualized mix of earnings by jurisdiction, (ii) a tax benefit on losses in Canada associated with unrealized gains in other comprehensive (loss) income, (iii) tax expense of $97.2 million associated with the divestiture of filler and toxin assets to Galderma, and (iv) tax benefit of $22.2 million related to the U.S. Federal tax return filing update to the prior year estimate of taxes. In addition to the points noted immediately above, the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 was also impacted by (i) tax expense incurred in the first quarter of 2014 of approximately $13.3 million, associated with an out of period adjustment for the tax impacts of intercompany profit in ending inventory and (ii) a tax benefit of approximately $20.4 million, inclusive of an out of period adjustment of $15.9 million, associated with the adjustment of various uncertain tax positions previously accrued by the Company in the second quarter of 2014. Management does not believe that these adjustments are material to the current or prior periods.

The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $487.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and $477.6 million as of December 31, 2013. The majority of the increase is due to the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain previously

recorded U.S. State deferred tax assets due to the internal restructuring of the Company, the effect of which is deferred under U.S. GAAP. The Company will continue to assess this amount for appropriateness on a go-forward basis associated with the deferred tax assets previously established.

The Company completed certain additional steps in early 2014 related to the internal reorganization that it undertook in December 2013 whereby it contributed assets to its Irish and Luxembourg subsidiaries. The internal reorganization had no tax impact on the Company's financial position.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $222.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which included $39.8 million relating to interest and penalties. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits, $115.7 million would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company anticipates that a minimal amount of unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved within the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued $4.0 million for interest and $0.8 million for penalties.

The Company is under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") for its 2005 to 2008 and 2010-2011 tax years. In 2013, the Company received updated reassessments for the 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 tax years which mainly relate to CRA’s denial of deductions for legal and consulting fees. In 2014, the Company received a notice of the CRA’s intent to audit the 2009 tax year. The 2009 and 2010-2011 examinations are in their preliminary phase and no reassessments have been issued.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an audit of the Valeant U.S. consolidated group for its 2011 and 2012 tax years. Valeant is also currently under examination for various state tax audits for years 2002 to 2010. B&L (U.S.) has effectively closed IRS audits through the 2010 tax year. B&L (U.S.) is currently open to audit for various state tax audits for years 1999 to 2012. In addition, certain affiliates of the Company in other regions outside of Canada and the U.S. are currently under examination by relevant taxing authorities, and all necessary accruals have been recorded, including uncertain tax benefits. At this time, the Company does not expect proposed adjustments, if any, would be material to the Company's financial statements.

17. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013			2014		2013
Net income (loss) attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.	$	275.4	$	(973.2	)	$	378.6	$	(989.9	)
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	335.4		333.6			335.2		316.5
Diluted effect of stock options and RSUs(a)	5.9		—			6.2		—
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	341.3		333.6			341.4		316.5
Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.:
Basic	$	0.82	$	(2.92	)	$	1.13	$	(3.13	)
Diluted	$	0.81	$	(2.92	)	$	1.11	$	(3.13	)

____________________________________

(a) In the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, all potential common shares issuable for stock options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable for stock options and RSUs on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013	2013
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	333.6	316.5
Dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs	6.6	6.4
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	340.2	322.9

In the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, stock options to purchase approximately 1,130,000and 896,000 common shares of the Company, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, compared with approximately 401,000 and 415,000 common shares in the corresponding periods of 2013.

18. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company becomes involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, which include product liability, intellectual property, commercial, antitrust, governmental and regulatory investigations, and related private litigation. There are also ordinary course employment-related issues and other types of claims in which the Company routinely becomes involved, but which individually and collectively are not material.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from these proceedings. An adverse outcome in certain of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause the market value of its common shares to decline.

From time to time, the Company also initiates actions or files counterclaims. The Company could be subject to counterclaims or other suits in response to actions it may initiate. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings, some of which may involve significant legal fees. The Company believes that the prosecution of these actions and counterclaims is important to preserve and protect the Company, its reputation and its assets.

Governmental and Regulatory Inquiries

On May 16, 2008, Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BPI”), the Company’s former subsidiary, entered into a written plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office (“USAO”) for the District of Massachusetts whereby it agreed to plead guilty to violating the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute and pay a fine of $22.2 million.

In addition, on May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the USAO whereby the USAO agreed to decline prosecution of Biovail in exchange for continuing cooperation and a civil settlement agreement and pay a civil penalty of $2.4 million. A hearing before the U.S. District Court in Boston took place on September 14, 2009 and the plea was approved.

In addition, as part of the overall settlement, Biovail entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services on September 11, 2009. The CIA requires the Company to have a compliance program in place and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for a five-year term. The CIA also includes requirements for an annual independent review of these obligations. Pursuant to the terms of the CIA, the Company expects the requirements contained in the CIA to terminate by the end of the second quarter of 2015. Failure to comply with the obligations under the CIA could result in financial penalties.

Securities

Medicis Shareholder Class Actions

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Medicis, several purported holders of then public shares of Medicis filed putative class action lawsuits in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Arizona Superior Court against Medicis and the members of its Board of Directors, as well as one or both of Valeant and Merlin Merger Sub (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition). The Delaware actions (which were instituted on September 11, 2012 and October 1, 2012, respectively) were consolidated for all purposes under the caption In re Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation

Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 7857-CS (Del. Ch.). The Arizona action (which was instituted on September 11, 2012) bears the caption Swint v. Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, et. al., Case No. CV2012-055635 (Ariz. Sup. Ct.). The actions all alleged, among other things, that the Medicis directors breached their fiduciary duties because they supposedly failed to properly value Medicis and caused materially misleading and incomplete information to be disseminated to Medicis’ public shareholders, and that Valeant and/or Merlin Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The actions also sought, among other things, injunctive and other equitable relief, and money damages.

On November 20, 2012, Medicis and the other named defendants in the Delaware action signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to settle the Delaware action and resolve all claims asserted by the purported class.  The parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement on November 25, 2013, which provided, among other things, that Medicis and the other defendants would not oppose plaintiffs’ request for a fee award (subject to a capped amount). The settlement and fee award were subject to court approval. At the settlement hearing on February 26, 2014, the Delaware Court of Chancery declined to approve the settlement or award plaintiffs any attorneys’ fees. The matter was dismissed with prejudice to allow the plaintiff to revise their fee request, which they have subsequently decided not to bring. The Delaware action is now concluded.

The plaintiff in the Arizona action agreed to dismiss her complaint. On January 15, 2013, the Arizona Superior Court issued an order granting the parties' joint stipulation to dismiss the Arizona action.

Obagi Shareholder Class Actions

Prior to the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Obagi, the following complaints were filed: (i) a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, dated March 22, 2013, and amended on April 1, 2013 and on April 8, 2013, captioned Michael Rubin v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al.; (ii) a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, dated March 22, 2013, and amended on March 27, 2013, captioned Gary Haas v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al.; and (iii) a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, dated March 27, 2013, captioned Drew Leonard v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al. Each complaint is a purported shareholder class action and names as defendants Obagi and the members of the Obagi Board of Directors. The two complaints filed in California also name Valeant and Odysseus Acquisition Corp. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Obagi acquisition) as defendants. The plaintiffs’ allegations in each action are substantially similar. The plaintiffs allege that the members of the Obagi Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Obagi’s stockholders in connection with the sale of the company, and the California complaints further allege that Obagi, Valeant and Odysseus Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. In support of their purported claims, the plaintiffs allege that the proposed transaction undervalued Obagi, involved an inadequate sales process and included preclusive deal protection devices. The plaintiffs in the Rubin case in Delaware and in the Haas case in California also filed amended complaints, which added allegations challenging the adequacy of the disclosures concerning the transaction. The plaintiffs sought damages and to enjoin the transaction, and also sought attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. On April 12, 2013, the defendants entered into an MOU with the plaintiffs in the actions pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the Superior Court of the State of California, pursuant to which Obagi and such parties agreed in principle, and subject to certain conditions, to settle those stockholder lawsuits. The parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release on January 31, 2014, which set forth the terms for the settlement and dismissal of the lawsuits and provided, among other things, that Obagi and the other defendants would not oppose plaintiffs’ request for a fee award (subject to a capped amount). That settlement and fee award were subject to court approval. On February 6, 2014, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware issued an Order for Notice and Scheduling of Hearing on Settlement, preliminarily certifying the Rubin case as a non-opt out class action for settlement purposes, directing notice of the proposed settlement to members of the class, and setting a hearing to consider final approval of the settlement for April 30, 2014. At the settlement hearing on April 30, 2014, the Delaware Court of Chancery declined to approve the settlement or award plaintiff any attorneys’ fees. On May 1, 2014, Obagi filed its Answer to Plaintiff’s Verified Second Amended Class Action Complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. After receiving notice that the parties had reached an agreement to settle the litigation, the Superior Court of the State of California scheduled a “Hearing on Order to Show Cause Re Dismissal” and continued the hearing several times pending completion of definitive documentation and approval proceedings in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Following the decision of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declining to approve the settlement, that “OSC re: Dismissal” hearing in the Superior Court of the State of California has been continued to December 24, 2014 pending the parties’ discussions regarding further proceedings. On October 3, 2014, plaintiffs in the action pending in Delaware filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice.  The Delaware Court of Chancery entered the dismissal of the action with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs on October 8, 2014.  On October 15, 2014, plaintiffs in the California actions sought voluntary dismissal without prejudice

of each of those actions without notice to the proposed class.  The court in the California actions has not yet ruled on plaintiffs' motion.

Solta Medical Shareholder Class Actions

Prior to the Company’s completion of the acquisition of Solta Medical, several purported holders of then public shares of Solta Medical filed putative class action lawsuits in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, against Solta Medical and the members of its board of directors, as well as the Company, Valeant, and Sapphire Subsidiary Corp. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Solta Medical acquisition). The Delaware actions were consolidated for all purposes under the caption In re Solta Medical, Inc. Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 9170-CS (Del. Ch.). The California actions were filed under the captions Lathrop v. Covert, et al., Case No. HG13-707363 (Cal. Super.); Walter, et al. v. Solta Medical, Inc., et al., Case No. RG13-707659 (Cal. Super.); and Bushansky v. Solta Medical, Inc., et al., Case No. RG13-707997 (Cal. Super.). The plaintiffs’ allegations in each action were substantially similar. The actions all alleged, among other things, that the directors of Solta Medical breached their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Solta Medical in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of Solta Medical. In support of their purported claims, the plaintiffs alleged that the proposed transaction did not appropriately value Solta Medical, was the result of an inadequate process and included preclusive deal protection devices. The plaintiffs also alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Solta Medical on December 23, 2013, in connection with the proposed transaction contained material omissions and misstatements. The complaints claimed that Solta Medical, the Company, Valeant, and Sapphire Subsidiary Corp. aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The actions sought, among other things, injunctive and other equitable relief, and money damages. The plaintiffs also sought attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. While the defendants believed that each of the aforementioned lawsuits were without merit and that they had valid defenses to all claims, in an effort to minimize the cost and expense of any litigation relating to the lawsuits, on January 11, 2014, following arms-length negotiations, Solta Medical and the other named defendants signed an MOU to settle the actions and resolve all claims asserted by the purported stockholder classes. The settlement, which is subject to court approval and further definitive documentation, provides for a release and settlement by Solta Medical’s stockholders of all claims against Solta Medical and the other defendants and their respective affiliates and agents in connection with the Company's acquisition of Solta Medical. In connection with the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs intend to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, which amount is subject to approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery. On July 10, 2014, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release and the Court entered a scheduling order on July 14, 2014. Pursuant to the scheduling order, a settlement hearing was held on September 29, 2014 and the settlement was approved by the Court.

Antitrust

Solodyn® Antitrust Class Actions

On July 22, 2013, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund, filed a civil antitrust class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 2:13-CV-04235-JCJ, against Medicis, the Company and various manufacturers of generic forms of Solodyn®, alleging that the defendants engaged in an anticompetitive scheme to exclude competition from the market for minocycline hydrochloride extended release tablets, a prescription drug for the treatment of acne marketed by Medicis under the brand name, Solodyn®.  The plaintiff further alleges that the defendants orchestrated a scheme to improperly restrain trade, and maintain, extend and abuse Medicis' alleged monopoly power in the market for minocycline hydrochloride extended release tablets to the detriment of plaintiff and the putative class of end-payor purchasers it seeks to represent, causing them to pay overcharges.  Plaintiff alleges violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2, and of various state antitrust and consumer protection laws, and further alleges that defendants have been unjustly enriched through their alleged conduct. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and, where applicable, treble, multiple, punitive and/or other damages, including attorneys' fees.  Additional class action complaints making similar allegations against all defendants, including Medicis and the Company have been filed in various courts by other private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly-situated direct or end-payor purchasers of Solodyn® (Rochester Drug Co-Operative, Inc., Case No. 2:13-CV-04270-JCJ (E.D.

Mass. filed Oct. 7, 2013); Man-U Service Contract Trust Fund, Case No. 13-cv-06266-JCJ (E.D. Pa. filed Oct. 25, 2013)).  On August 29, 2013, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund voluntarily dismissed the class action complaint it had originally filed on August 1, 2013, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and on August 30, 2013, re-filed its class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:13-cv-05108). The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund complaint makes similar allegations against all defendants, including Medicis and the Company, and seeks similar relief, to the other end-payor plaintiff complaints.  On October 11, 2013, Medicis and the Company filed a motion with the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") seeking an order transferring and consolidating the thirteen putative class action cases for coordinated pretrial proceedings.  On February 25, 2014, the JPML ordered that the cases pending outside the District of Massachusetts be transferred to the District of Massachusetts, with the consent of that court, for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings with the actions already pending in that district.  The Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”), captioned In re Solodyn (Minocycline Hydrochloride) Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:14-md-02503-DJC, is now pending before U.S. District Judge Denise Casper.  Two additional end-payor actions have been filed in the District of Massachusetts since the February 25^th centralization order:  Allied Services Division Welfare Fund, Case No. 1:14-cv-10786 (D. Mass. filed Mar. 14, 2014); and NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund, Case No. 1:14-cv-11015 (D. Mass. filed Mar. 19, 2014).  These cases have been included in the pending MDL.  On September 12, 2014, the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and the End-Payor Plaintiffs each filed a consolidated amended class action complaint; however, on September 19, 2014, both the Direct Purchasers Plaintiffs and End-Payor Plaintiffs notified Medicis and the Company of errors in their respective complaints. With Defendants’ consent, the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs filed a corrected amended complaint on September 22, 2014. The Defendants did not consent to the End-Payor Plaintiffs’ filing of a corrected complaint, and the End-Payor Plaintiffs have yet to move for leave to file a further amended complaint. An initial status conference was held on September 29, 2014. Under the current schedule, any responsive pleadings are due on November 24, 2014.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the claims and plan to vigorously defend these actions.

Intellectual Property

AntiGrippin® Litigation

Two suits have been brought against the Company's subsidiary, Natur Produkt, seeking lost profits in connection with the registration by Natur Produkt of its AntiGrippin trademark. The plaintiffs in these matters allege that Natur Produkt violated Russian competition law by preventing plaintiffs from producing and marketing their products under certain brand names. The first matter (Case No. A-56-23056/2013, Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg) was accepted for proceedings on June 24, 2013 and a hearing was held on November 28, 2013. In a decision dated December 4, 2013, the court found in favor of the plaintiff (AnviLab) and awarded the plaintiff lost profits in the amount of approximately $50 million. The $50 million charge was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013 in Other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Natur Produkt appealed this decision, and a hearing in the appeal proceeding was held on March 16, 2014. The appeal court found in favor of Natur Produkt and dismissed the plaintiff’s claim in full. Following this decision, the Company concluded that the potential loss was no longer probable, and therefore the $50 million reserve was reversed in the first quarter of 2014 in Other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Anvilab appealed the appeal court's decision to the cassation court. On June 19, 2014, the cassation court resolved that the matter is within the jurisdiction of the Intellectual Property (IP) court in this instance. The hearing before the IP court was held on July 30, 2014 and August 1, 2014. The IP court found in favor of the plaintiff and ruled to send the case for the second review to the court of the first instance, indicating that the court of the first instance should decide on the amount of damages suffered by Anvilab. Natur Produkt appealed the decision of the IP Court to the Supreme Court on September 15, 2014, but, on October 22, 2014, the Supreme Court denied that appeal and the matter will now be sent back to the court of first instance for the second review. The Company believes that the potential damages in this matter, if any, are not estimable at this time. Natur Produkt intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter.

Natur Produkt was served with a claim in the second matter (Case No. A-56-38592/2013, Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg) on July 16, 2013 by the plaintiff in that matter (ZAO Tsentr Vnedreniya PROTEK (“Protek”)). A hearing was held in this matter on September 29, 2013 and, on October 18, 2013, the court found in favor of Natur Produkt. Protek filed an appeal of the decision on November 26, 2013. A hearing in the appeal proceeding was held on January 30, 2014 and the appeal court also found in favor of Natur Produkt. Protek appealed that decision to the cassation court (Case No. A-56-38592/2013) and, on July 7, 2014, the cassation court also found in favor of Natur Produkt. Protek did not exercise its right to appeal the cassation court decision to the Supreme Court.

General Civil Actions

Afexa Class Action

On March 9, 2012, a Notice of Civil Claim was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia which seeks an order certifying a proposed class proceeding against the Company and a predecessor, Afexa (Case No. NEW-S-S-140954). The proposed claim asserts that Afexa and the Company made false representations respecting Cold-FX® to residents of British Columbia who purchased the product during the applicable period and that the proposed class has suffered damages as a result. The Company filed its certification materials on February 6, 2013 and a hearing on certification was held on September 3 to 6, 2013.  An additional hearing day was scheduled for January 16, 2014. On November 8, 2013, the Plaintiff served an amended notice of civil claim which seeks to re-characterize the representation claims and broaden them from what was originally claimed.  As a result, the hearing date scheduled for January 16, 2014 was cancelled and, at the request of the Court, the parties made submissions to address the impact of the amendments. The Court rendered a decision on March 27, 2014 denying costs orders for both parties and directing the parties to obtain a revised certification hearing schedule for the continuation of the certification hearing at an agreeable time. The Company denies the allegations being made and is vigorously defending this matter.

Legacy Medicis Litigation

Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission

On May 2, 2012, Medicis received a civil investigative demand from the FTC requiring that Medicis provide to the FTC information and documents relating to various settlement and other agreements with makers of generic SOLODYN® products following patent infringement claims and litigation, each of which was previously filed with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, and other efforts principally relating to SOLODYN®. On June 7, 2013, Medicis received an additional civil investigative demand relating to such settlements, agreements and efforts. Medicis is cooperating with this investigative process. If, at the conclusion of this process, the FTC believes that any of the agreements or efforts violates antitrust laws, it could challenge Medicis through a civil administrative or judicial proceeding. If the FTC ultimately challenges the agreements, we would expect to vigorously defend in any such action.

Employment Matter

In September, 2011, Medicis received a demand letter from counsel purporting to represent a class of female sales employees alleging gender discrimination in, among others things, compensation and promotion as well as claims that the former management group maintained a work environment that was hostile and offensive to female sales employees. Related charges of discrimination were filed prior to the end of 2011 by six former female sales employees with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”). Three of those charges have been dismissed by the EEOC and the EEOC has made no findings of discrimination. Medicis engaged in mediation with such former employees. On March 19, 2013, Medicis and counsel for the former employees signed an MOU to settle this matter on a class-wide basis and resolve all claims with respect thereto. In connection with the agreed-upon settlement, Medicis would pay a specified sum and would pay the costs of the

claims administration up to an agreed-upon fixed amount. Medicis would also implement certain specified programmatic relief. The parties have signed a definitive settlement agreement in this matter. On September 5, 2013, a putative class action was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the matter of Brown et al. v. Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (No. 1:13-cv-01345-RJL) based on the allegations described above. Simultaneously with the filing of the Complaint, the parties filed a motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement.  Among other things, the settlement agreement, if approved, will resolve all of the remaining related EEOC charges.  A case status conference took place on June 6, 2014 and a hearing on the motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement took place in September 2014. The motion was denied. A hearing to address the Court's concerns with the motion for preliminary approval took place on October 23, 2014 and has been continued to November 12, 2014.

Legacy B&L Litigation

MoistureLoc™ Product Liability Lawsuits

Currently, B&L has been served or is aware that it has been named as a defendant in approximately 322 currently active product liability lawsuits (some with multiple plaintiffs) pending in a New York State Consolidated Proceeding described below as well as certain other U.S. state courts on behalf of individuals who claim they suffered personal injury as a result of using a contact lens solution with MoistureLoc™. Two consolidated cases were established to handle MoistureLoc™ claims. First, on August 14, 2006, the Federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created a coordinated proceeding in the Federal District Court for the District of South Carolina. Second, on January 2, 2007, the New York State Litigation Coordinating Panel ordered the consolidation of cases filed in New York State, and assigned the coordination responsibilities to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. There are approximately 320 currently active non-fusarium cases pending in the New York Consolidated Proceeding. On July 15, 2009, the New York State Supreme Court overseeing the New York Consolidated Proceeding granted B&L’s motion to exclude plaintiffs’ general causation testimony with regard to non-fusarium infections, which effectively excluded plaintiffs from testifying that MoistureLoc™ caused non-fusarium infections. On September 15, 2011, the New York State Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the Trial Court’s ruling. On February 7, 2012, the New York Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs’ additional appeal. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to renew the trial court’s ruling, and B&L cross-filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss all remaining claims. On May 31, 2013, the Trial Court denied Plaintiffs’ motion to renew, and granted B&L’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing all remaining non-fusarium claims. On June 28, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Trial Court’s ruling. On March 19, 2014, Plaintiffs filed an Application for an Enlargement of Time in which to perfect the within appeal to the September term. A decision was granted on May 13, 2014, pursuant to which the Court granted the requested extension to perfect the within appeal to the October term. The plaintiffs have perfected the appeal, the matter has been fully briefed by the parties and is awaiting argument before the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

All matters under jurisdiction of the coordinated proceedings in the Federal District Court for the District of South Carolina have been dismissed, including individual actions for personal injury and a class action purporting to represent a class of consumers who suffered economic claims as a result of purchasing a contact lens solution with MoistureLoc™.

Currently B&L has settled approximately 629 cases in connection with MoistureLoc™ product liability suits. All but one U.S. based fusarium claims have now been resolved and there are less than five active fusarium claims involving claimants outside of the United States that remain pending. The parties in these active matters are involved in settlement discussions.

Subpoenas from the New York Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

On June 29, 2011, B&L received a subpoena from the New York Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding payments and communications between B&L and medical professionals related to its pharmaceutical products Lotemax® and Besivance®. The government has indicated that the subpoena was issued in connection with a civil investigation, and B&L is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation. B&L has heard of no additional activity at this time, and whether the government’s investigation is ongoing or will result in further requests for information is unknown. B&L and the Company will continue to work with the Office of Inspector General regarding the scope of the subpoena and any additional specific information that may be requested.

ISTA Settlement with Department of Justice

On or about May 24, 2013 (prior to the Company’s acquisition of B&L in August 2013), B&L’s subsidiary, ISTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ISTA”), reached agreement with the U.S. government to resolve and conclude civil and criminal allegations against ISTA.  The settlement involved conduct by ISTA that occurred between January 2006 and March 2011,

prior to B&L’s acquisition of ISTA in June 2012. B&L was aware of the government investigation prior to its acquisition, and fully cooperated with the government to resolve the matter.  In connection with the settlement, ISTA pled guilty to certain charges and paid approximately $34 million in civil and criminal fines, including interest and attorney’s fees. In addition, B&L agreed to maintain a specified compliance and ethics program and to annually certify compliance with this requirement to the Department of Justice for a period of three years. Failure to comply with the requirements of the settlement could result in fines.

Legal Proceedings Involving the Proposed Transaction with Allergan

Allergan Securities Litigation

On August 1, 2014, Allergan commenced the federal securities litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, Valeant, Valeant’s subsidiary AGMS Inc. (“AGMS”), Pershing Square, PS Management, GP, LLC, PS Fund 1 and William A. Ackman (Allergan, Inc. et al. v. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-01214-DOC). The lawsuit alleges violations of Sections 13(d), 14(a), 14(e) and 20A of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated by the SEC under those Sections. The complaint seeks, among other relief, a declaration that the defendants violated Rule 14e-3 and Sections 13(d), 14(a) and 14(e); an order requiring rescission of the defendants’ purchases of Allergan securities; an order requiring the defendants to file corrective disclosures; preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief as may be necessary to prevent the defendants from enjoying any rights or benefits from Allergan securities that were acquired unlawfully and to prevent irreparable injury to Allergan or its stockholders arising out of unlawful solicitations; damages under Section 20A of the Exchange Act; and costs and attorneys’ fees. On August 4, 2014, Allergan filed an application for an expedited schedule, which was denied on August 21, 2014. On August 19, 2014, the Company, Valeant and AGMS filed an Answer to Complaint and Affirmative Defenses. The remaining defendants filed a separate answer on August 19, 2014. Also on August 19, 2014, the Company, Valeant, AGMS, PS Fund 1 and William A. Ackman filed Counterclaims against Allergan and the members of the Allergan Board of Directors. The Counterclaims allege violations of Sections 14(a), 14(e) and 20A of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated by the SEC under those Sections, and seek, among other relief, an injunction requiring Allergan to issue corrective disclosures; an order enjoining further violations of Sections 14(a) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rules 14a-9 and 14a-3, and costs and attorneys’ fees. On September 2, 2014, the counterclaim-defendants filed an Answer to the Counterclaims. On September 12, 2014, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation, setting a hearing date of October 28, 2014 for Allergan’s intended motion for a preliminary injunction. On October 6, 2014, Allergan filed its motion for preliminary injunction, seeking to enjoin defendants and their officers, agents, representatives, employees, assigns, and/or anyone acting on their behalf or in concert with them from (1) exercising any of the rights or benefits attendant to any shares acquired by PS Fund 1, including voting or acting in the December 18, 2014 special meeting of Allergan stockholders; and (2) voting any proxies solicited by defendants on the basis of their September 24, 2014 proxy solicitation and the July 22, 2014 Form S-4 and from soliciting any further proxies until corrective disclosures are made. The motion also requests that defendants be ordered to make corrective disclosures to their September 24, 2014 proxy solicitation and the July 22, 2014 Form S-4, including disclosure of the facts that give rise to their alleged potential liability under Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 14e-3 promulgated thereunder.

Bylaws Action Against Allergan and Its Board

On August 22, 2014, the Company, Valeant, Pershing Square and PS Fund 1 filed a verified complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery (C.A. No. 10057-CB) against Allergan and the members of the Allergan Board of Directors. The lawsuit alleges that the special meeting request submitted by PS Fund 1 complied with Allergan’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and all valid aspects of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Allergan (the “Allergan Bylaws”), that the Allergan Bylaws for calling a special meeting are invalid, and that Allergan’s directors breached their fiduciary duties with respect to the special meeting request. The complaint seeks, among other relief, (1) an order requiring that a special meeting be held within a reasonable period of time and before Allergan executes, consummates or reaches any binding agreement or understanding as to an alternative transaction; (2) a declaration that PS Fund 1 and supporting shareholders have validly requested a special meeting; (3) declarations that the Allergan Bylaws for calling a special meeting are invalid on their face and as applied to special meeting requests delivered to Allergan by PS Fund 1; (4) a declaration that the special meeting requests delivered to Allergan comply with all valid provisions of the Allergan Charter and Allergan Bylaws; (5) declarations that the Allergan Board breached their fiduciary duties by acting to delay the special meeting, acting to preclude Valeant’s acquisition proposal, and unreasonably interpreting the Allergan Bylaws; and (6) costs and attorneys’ fees. On August 27, 2014, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to expedite, setting the trial for October 6, 2014. On September 2, 2014, plaintiffs filed an Amended Verified Complaint. In addition to the relief sought in the Complaint, the Amended Complaint sought (1) an order requiring that a special meeting be held between 45 and 50 days after the Court issues its post-trial order, and before

Allergan executes, consummates or reaches any binding agreement or understanding as to an alternative transaction; (2) an order requiring defendants to set a reasonable and equitable record date for the special meeting; and (3) a declaration that the Allergan Board breached their fiduciary duties by setting unreasonable and inequitable special meeting and record dates. On September 9, 2014, defendants filed their Answer and Affirmative Defenses.

On September 16, 2014, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation dismissing the action without prejudice. The stipulation provides that (1) Allergan will hold the Allergan special meeting on December 18, 2014; (2) October 30, 2014 shall be the record date; (3) defendants will not alter the foregoing dates, seek to delay or not hold the Allergan special meeting, or seek to invalidate any special meeting requests; and (4) defendants will not adjourn the Allergan special meeting unless adjournment is approved by holders of a majority of Allergan common stock present in person or by proxy at the Allergan special meeting.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable Segments

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: (i) Developed Markets, and (ii) Emerging Markets. The following is a brief description of the Company’s segments:

• Developed Markets consists of (i) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products, as well as alliance and contract service revenues, in the areas of eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, (ii) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired, and (iii) pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and Japan.

• Emerging Markets consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products and branded pharmaceuticals, OTC products, and medical device products. Products are sold primarily in Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Poland and Russia), Asia, Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets), Africa and the Middle East.

Segment profit (loss) is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs, other (income) expense, and in-process research and development impairments and other charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit (loss), as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance.

Corporate includes the finance, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company’s businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company, which are not allocated to the other business segments. In addition, a portion of share-based compensation is considered a corporate cost, since the amount of such expense depends on Company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

Segment Revenues and Profit (Loss)

Segment revenues and profit (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

20. PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

Proposed Merger - Allergan, Inc.

On April 22, 2014, the Company announced that it had submitted a merger proposal to the Board of Directors of Allergan. Since making its initial public proposal on April 22, 2014, the Company has continued to publicly express a desire to enter into a negotiated business combination with Allergan and has announced the proposals that the Company has submitted to the Allergan Board of Directors (the “Allergan Board”). The most recent of these proposals was submitted by the Company to the Allergan Board on May 30, 2014 and contemplates a merger with Allergan, in which each share of Allergan common stock would be exchanged for (i) $72.00 in cash and (ii) 0.83 shares of the Company’s common shares, subject to election and proration. Further, the Company has indicated that it is willing to include, as part of the consideration in a negotiated transaction to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Allergan common stock, a contingent value right related to DARPin® sales.

In connection with the proposal to merge with Allergan, the Company and Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”) entered into an agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Valeant and Pershing Square became members of a newly formed jointly owned entity, PS Fund 1, LLC (the “PS Fund 1”). In April 2014, the Company contributed $75.9 million to PS Fund 1, which was used by PS Fund 1, together with funds contributed by funds managed by Pershing Square, to purchase shares of Allergan common stock and derivative instruments referencing Allergan common stock. The investment in Allergan shares is considered an available-for-sale security. Currently, 597,431 of the 28,878,538 shares of Allergan common stock held for PS Fund 1 are allocable to the Company. Based on the Company’s degree of influence over such entity, the Company's investment in PS Fund 1 is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (the investment is included within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014). Accordingly, the Company recognizes its share of any unrealized gains or losses on the Allergan shares held by PS Fund 1 as part of other comprehensive (loss) income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, an unrealized pre-tax gain of $5.4 million and $30.6 million, respectively, related to this investment was recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income.

On May 30, 2014, in connection with the proposal to merge with Allergan described above, the Company separately agreed with Pershing Square, Allergan's largest stockholder, to exchange 28,281,107 shares of Allergan common stock allocated to funds managed by Pershing Square for the Company's common shares at an exchange rate of 1.22659 of the Company's common shares for each share of Allergan common stock, which exchange would close immediately after the consummation of the proposed merger with Allergan.

On June 18, 2014, the Company commenced an exchange offer currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014, subject to extension for the shares of Allergan common stock. Under the terms of the offer, Allergan stockholders would be able to elect to exchange each of their shares of Allergan common stock for $72.00 in cash and 0.83 the Company’s common shares,

41

(Unaudited)

or a to-be-specified amount of cash, or a to-be-specified number of the Company’s common shares, in each case subject to proration. The shares of Allergan common stock held by Pershing Square would be subject to the May 30, 2014 agreement with Pershing Square. The offer is also subject to certain conditions, including removal of various anti-takeover obstacles that the Allergan Board has the unilateral ability to remove, the tender of a majority of the total number of outstanding Allergan shares on a fully diluted basis and expiration or termination of the waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other applicable antitrust laws and regulations. The exchange offer is also conditioned on the affirmative vote at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to approve the issuance of the Company’s common shares in the acquisition. The Company has filed a preliminary proxy statement with respect to this special meeting.

In connection with the proposed combination with Allergan, the Company has received a commitment letter to provide, on customary terms, subject to certain conditions, $20.35 billion that, together with cash on hand, will be used for the purpose of financing the cash component of the consideration to be paid in the exchange offer. At this time, no merger agreement or other agreement relating to the merger proposal has been entered into between the Company and Allergan, and the Company cannot provide any assurance as to whether or when any such agreement will be executed or whether or when the proposed merger will be consummated or the terms thereof when and if agreed.

In connection with the settlement of certain litigation involving the Company, Valeant, Pershing Square, PS Fund 1 and Allergan in the Delaware Court of Chancery (as further described in note 18), Allergan has agreed to call and hold a special meeting of its shareholders on December 18, 2014 to, among other things, consider proposals respecting the removal of six incumbent members of the Allergan Board, a request that the Allergan Board elect or appoint six nominees proposed by Pershing Square, amendments to Allergan’s bylaws to eliminate onerous restrictions on the calling of a special meeting and a request that Allergan promptly engage in good faith negotiations with Valeant regarding Valeant’s offer to merge with Allergan, without in any way precluding discussions the Allergan Board may choose to engage in with other parties potentially offering higher value.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the interim period ended September 30, 2014 (the “unaudited consolidated financial statements”). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the annual MD&A and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

Additional information relating to the Company, including the 2013 Form 10-K, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the discussion and analysis contained in this MD&A is as of October 24, 2014.

All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

COMPANY PROFILE

We are a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices), which are marketed directly or indirectly in over 100 countries. In the Developed Markets segment, we focus most of our efforts in the eye health, dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. In the Emerging Markets segment, we focus primarily on branded generics, OTC products, and medical devices. We are diverse not only in our sources of revenue from our broad drug and medical device portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and geographies we serve.

On August 5, 2013, we acquired Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated May 24, 2013, as amended. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, B&L became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Valeant”), our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “B&L Acquisition”). B&L is a global eye health company that focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and marketing of eye health products, including contact lenses, contact lens care solutions, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic surgical products. We believe we will continue to grow the B&L business due primarily to the expected growth of the overall eye health market and the introduction of new products. Further, we have substantially integrated the B&L business into our decentralized structure which has allowed us to realize operational efficiencies and cost synergies. For more information regarding the B&L Acquisition, see note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Our strategy is to focus the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes that offer attractive growth opportunities while maintaining our lower selling, general and administrative cost model and decentralized operating structure. We have an established portfolio of durable products with a focus in the eye health and dermatology therapeutic areas. Further, we have completed numerous transactions over the past few years to expand our portfolio offering and geographic footprint, including, among others, the acquisitions of B&L and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Medicis”), and we will continue to pursue value-added business development opportunities as they arise. The growth of our business is further augmented through our lower risk research and development model, which allows us to advance certain development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and development expense. We believe this strategy will allow us to maximize both the growth rate and profitability of the Company and to enhance shareholder value.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

We have completed several transactions including, among others, the following acquisitions and divestitures in 2014:

43

	Acquisition  Date
Acquisitions of businesses and product rights
Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta Medical”)	January 2014
PreCision Dermatology, Inc. (“PreCision”)	July 2014
	Divestiture  Date
Divestitures
Filler and toxin assets	July 2014
Metronidazole 1.3%	July 2014
Tretin-X® (tretinoin) cream and generic tretinoin gel and cream products(1)	July 2014

___________________________________

(1) In connection with the acquisition of PreCision, we were required by the Federal Trade Commission to divest the rights toPreCision’s Tretin-X® (tretinoin) cream product and PreCision’s generic tretinoin gel and cream products.

In addition, in April 2014, the Company announced that it had submitted a merger proposal to the Board of Directors of Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”). For further information regarding the proposal to merge with Allergan, see note 18 and note 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

For more information regarding our acquisitions and divestitures, see note 3 and note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

In connection with the B&L and Medicis acquisitions, as well as other smaller acquisitions, we have implemented cost-rationalization and integration initiatives to capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures included:

• workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

• closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

• leveraging research and development spend; and

• procurement savings.

B&L Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The complementary nature of the Company and B&L businesses has provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. In total, we have identified greater than $900 million of cost synergies on an annual run rate basis that we expect to substantially achieve by the end of 2014. This amount does not include potential revenue synergies or the potential benefits of incorporating B&L’s operations into the Company’s corporate structure. We estimate that we will incur total costs of approximately $600 million (excluding the charges of $52.8 million described in note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements) in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2014.

Medicis Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The complementary nature of the Company and Medicis businesses has provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. In total, we realized over $300 million of cost synergies on a run rate basis as of December 31, 2013. We estimate that we will incur total costs of approximately $200 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which were substantially completed by the end of 2013. However, additional costs have been incurred in 2014, and we expect to incur certain costs during the next six months.

See note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for detailed information summarizing the major components of costs incurred in connection with our B&L and Medicis acquisition-related initiatives through September 30, 2014.

Financial Performance

Changes in Revenues

Total revenues increased $514.5 million, or 33%, to $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013 and increased $2.3 billion, or 61%, to $6.0 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $3.7 billion in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to incremental product sales revenue of $343.5 million and $2,184.9 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions and all 2014 acquisitions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, partially offset by (i) a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $81.7 million, in the aggregate, in the third quarter of 2014, and a negative impact from divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $226.1 million, in the aggregate, in the first nine months of 2014, (ii) a decrease in product sales of $33.7 million and $141.2 millionin the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, due to the impact of generic competition in the Developed Markets segment, and (iii) a negative foreign currency impact on the existing business of $24.9 million and $56.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. Excluding the items described above, we realized incremental product sales revenue of $313.3 million and $498.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, related to growth from the remainder of the existing business. The above changes in revenues are further described below under “Results of Operations — Revenues by Segment”.

As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. Provisions for these deductions are recorded concurrently with the recognition of gross product sales revenue and include cash discounts and allowances, chargebacks, and distribution fees, which are paid to direct customers, as well as rebates and returns, which can be paid to both direct and indirect customers. Provision balances relating to estimated amounts payable to direct customers are netted against accounts receivable, and balances relating to indirect customers are included in accrued liabilities. The provisions recorded to reduce gross product sales to net product sales were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
($ in millions)	$		$		$		$
Gross product sales	2,980.2		2,108.6		8,180.3		5,011.8
Provisions to reduce gross product sales to net product sales	957.3		602.2		2,312.2		1,403.0
Net product sales	2,022.9		1,506.4		5,868.1		3,608.8
Percentage of provisions to gross sales	32	%	29	%	28	%	28	%

Provisions as a percentage of gross sales increased to 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 29% in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher provisions for returns and rebates, including the new co-pay assistance programs for launch products including Jublia®, Luzu™, and Retin-A Micro® Microsphere 0.08% (“RAM 0.08%”), as well as increased sales of generic products and Wellbutrin XL® (to the U.S. government), which have higher rebate percentages.

Changes in Earnings Attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

Net income attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. was $275.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with net loss attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. of $973.2 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net income attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. was $378.6 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with net loss attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. of $989.9 million in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting the following factors: (i) an increase in contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets) of $531.5 million and $1,768.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, as further described below under “Results of Operations — Segment Profit” and (ii) a decrease in operating expenses (driven largely by higher impairment charges in the prior year), as further described below under “Results of Operations — Operating Expenses”.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2014. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.3 million in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest is primarily related to the performance of joint ventures acquired in connection with the B&L Acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Reportable Segments

We have two operating and reportable segments: (i) Developed Markets, and (ii) Emerging Markets. The following is a brief description of our segments:

• Developed Markets consists of (i) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products, as well as alliance and contract service revenues, in the areas of eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, (ii) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired, and (iii) pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and Japan.

• Emerging Markets consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products and branded pharmaceuticals, OTC products, and medical device products. Products are sold primarily in Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Poland and Russia), Asia, Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets), Africa and the Middle East.

Revenues By Segment

The following table displays revenues by segment for the third quarters and first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the percentage of each segment’s revenues compared with total revenues in the respective period, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment’s revenues. Percentages may not add due to rounding.

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total revenues increased $514.5 million, or 33%, to $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013 and increased $2.3 billion, or 61%, to $6.0 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $3.7 billion in the first nine months of 2013. Approximately 50% of the growth in the third quarter of 2014 was driven by volume. The growth was mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

Developed Markets segment:

46

• the incremental product sales revenue of $254.2 million and $1,628.6 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions and all 2014 acquisitions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily from (i) the 2013 acquisitions of B&L (driven by Ocuvite®/PreserVision®, Lotemax®, ReNu Multiplus®, and Biotrue® MultiPurpose Solution product sales) and (ii) the 2014 acquisitions of Solta Medical (mainly driven by Thermage CPT® system product sales) and PreCision (mainly driven by Clindagel® product sales).

This factor was partially offset by:

• a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $75.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, and a negative impact from divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $176.0 million in first nine months of 2014. The largest contributors were the divestitures of facial injectables products (filler and toxin assets) in the third quarter of 2014, the discontinuation of Maxair® and the divestiture of Buphenyl® in 2013;

• a decrease in product sales of $33.7 million and $141.2 million, in the aggregate, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, due to generic competition. The decrease in the third quarter of 2014 related to a decline in sales of the Vanos® franchise and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada). The decrease in the first nine months of 2014 related to a decline in sales of the Vanos®, Retin-A Micro® (excluding RAM 0.08%), and Zovirax® franchises and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada). We anticipate a continuing decline in sales of the Vanos® franchise and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada) due to continued generic erosion. However, the rate of decline is expected to decrease in the future, and these brands are expected to represent a declining percentage of total revenues primarily due to anticipated growth in other parts of our business and recent acquisitions; and

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact on the existing business of $7.7 million and $25.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively.

Excluding the items described above, we realized incremental product sales revenue from the remainder of the existing business of $233.1 million and $386.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. For the third quarter of 2014, slightly more than half of the growth came from price. The growth for the first nine months of 2014 was driven primarily by price. The growth included higher sales of (i) Elidel®, (ii) Solodyn®, (iii) Wellbutrin XL® (U.S.), (iv) Targretin®, and (v) orphan products (Syprine® and Xenazine®). The growth also reflected higher sales from recent product launches, including the launches of Jublia®, Luzu™, and RAM 0.08%.

Emerging Markets segment:

• the incremental product sales revenue of $89.3 million and $556.3 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions and all 2014 acquisitions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily from the 2013 acquisition of B&L (driven by ReNu Multiplus®, Ocuvite®, and Artelac™ product sales) and the 2014 acquisition of Solta Medical (mainly driven by Thermage CPT® system product sales).

This factor was partially offset by:

• a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, and a negative impact from divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $50.1 million in the first nine months of 2014, primarily from Eastern Europe and Brazil; and

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact on the existing business of $17.2 million and $31.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively.

Excluding the items described above, we realized incremental product sales revenue from the remainder of the existing business of $80.2 million and $112.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. The vast majority of this growth was driven by volume. The growth reflected higher sales in Russia, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Mexico.

Segment Profit (Loss)

Segment profit (loss) is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs, in-process research and development impairments and other charges and other (income) expense, are not included in the measure of segment profit (loss), as management excludes these items in assessing segment financial performance. In addition, a portion of share-based compensation is not allocated to segments, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

47

The following table displays profit (loss) by segment for the third quarters and first nine months of 2014 and 2013, the percentage of each segment’s profit (loss) compared with corresponding segment revenues in the respective period, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment’s profit (loss). Percentages may not add due to rounding.

Total segment profit increased $891.1 million to $582.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with segment loss of $309.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $170.2 million in the first nine months of 2013, mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

Developed Markets segment:

• an increase in contribution of $153.7 million and $1,096.2 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions and all 2014 acquisitions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily from the product sales of B&L and Solta Medical, including higher expenses for acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory of $10.6million and $24.1 million, in the aggregate, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively; 

• a decrease in operating expenses (including amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets) of $410.2 million in third quarter of 2014 primarily due to an impairment charge of $551.6 million related to ezogabine/retigabine in the third quarter of 2013, partially offset by the acquisitions of new businesses within the segment; and

• a favorable impact of $122.2 million and $187.8 million related to the existing business acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, that did not similarly occur in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• a decrease in contribution related to divestitures and discontinuations of $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, and a decrease in contribution related to divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $144.6 million in the first nine months of 2014;

• a decrease in contribution of $31.5 million and $134.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, as a result of the continued impact of generic competition. The decrease in the third quarter of 2014 related to a decline in sales of the Vanos® franchise and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada). The decrease in the first nine months of 2014 related to a decline in sales of the Vanos®, Retin-A Micro® (excluding RAM 0.08%), and Zovirax® franchises and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada);

• an increase in operating expenses (including amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets) of $89.7 million in the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to the acquisitions of new businesses within the segment, partially offset by the impairment charge of $551.6 million related to ezogabine/retigabine in the third quarter of 2013; and

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact on the existing business contribution of $5.9million and $19.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively.

Excluding the items described above, we realized incremental contribution from product sales from the remainder of the existing business of $220.8million and $356.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, driven by sales of (i) Elidel®, (ii) Solodyn®, (iii) Wellbutrin XL® (U.S.), (iv) Targretin®, and (v) orphan products (Syprine® and Xenazine®). The growth also reflected higher sales from recent product launches, including the launches of Jublia®, Luzu™, and RAM 0.08%.

48

Emerging Markets segment:

• an increase in contribution of $55.2 million and $365.2 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions and all 2014 acquisitions, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily from the sale of B&L and Solta Medical products; and

• a favorable impact of $27.2 million and $31.4 million related to the existing business acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, that did not similarly occur in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an increase in operating expenses (including amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets) of $45.3 million and $220.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily associated with the acquisitions of new businesses within the segment;

• a decrease in contribution related to divestitures and discontinuations of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, and a decrease in contribution related to divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $31.1 million in the first nine months of 2014; and

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact on the existing business contribution of $10.7million and $19.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively.

Excluding the items described above, we realized incremental contribution from product sales from the remainder of the existing business of $61.9 million and $78.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. The growth reflected higher sales in Russia, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Mexico.

Operating Expenses

NM — Not meaningful

Cost of Goods Sold (exclusive of amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets)

Cost of goods sold decreased $15.0 million, or 3%, to $545.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $560.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased $490.6 million, or 43%, to $1.6 billion in the first nine months of 2014,

49

compared with $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2013. As a percentage of revenue, Cost of goods sold decreased to 27% in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, as compared to 36% and 30% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, primarily due to:

• the impact of lower acquisition accounting adjustments of $137.2 million and $197.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily related to the fair value step-up for acquired inventory from the B&L and Medicis acquisitions which was expensed in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 that did not similarly occur in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014; and

• a favorable impact from product mix driven by new product launches, including Jublia®, Luzu™, and RAM 0.08%. These products have a higher gross profit margin than our overall margin.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an unfavorable impact from product mix related to (i) the product portfolio acquired as part of the B&L Acquisition and (ii) decreased sales of certain products in the Developed Markets segment due to generic competition (as described above) which have a higher gross profit margin than our overall margin.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $148.4 million, or 42%, to $504.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $355.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased $646.9 million, or 76%, to $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $854.9 million in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to increased expenses in our Developed Markets segment ($106.8 million and $487.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively) and Emerging Markets segment ($33.8 million and $157.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively), primarily driven by the acquisitions of new businesses within each segment, including the B&L Acquisition, partially offset by the realization of cost synergies related primarily to headcount reductions.

As a percentage of revenue, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 25% in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, as compared to 23% in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, primarily due to (i) costs incurred related to the B&L Acquisition, (ii) higher expenses related to recent and upcoming product launches, including the recent launches of Jublia®, Luzu™, and RAM 0.08%, (iii) expenses associated with sales force expansion for the dermatology and dental businesses, and (iv) higher share-based compensation expenses. See note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information related to share-based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $10.1 million, or 21%, to $59.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $49.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased $89.6 million, or 92%, to $186.9 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $97.3 million in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to spending on programs acquired in the B&L Acquisition, including latanoprostene bunod, Lotemax® life cycle programs, and brimonidine, partially offset by lower spending on Jublia® (efinaconazole 10% topical solution). In June 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the New Drug Application for Jublia®, and the product was launched. See note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to the B&L Acquisition.

Amortization and Impairments of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets decreased $517.1 million, or 57%, to $393.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $910.2 million in the third quarter of 2013, and decreased $426.1 million, or 28%, to $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $578.1 million and $631.1 million for ezogabine/retigabine in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, due to the impairment charge of $551.6 million recognized in the third quarter of 2013 (which also resulted in lower amortization expense in the current year), (ii) impairment charges of $31.5 million recognized in the first nine months of 2013 related to the write-down of the carrying values of assets held for sale related to certain suncare and skincare brands sold primarily in Australia, and (iii) a $22.2 million write-off recognized in the first quarter of 2013 related to the Opana® intangible asset, partially offset by (iv) an increase in amortization of the B&L and Solta Medical identifiableintangible assets of $43.1million and $227.4 million, in the aggregate, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and (v) a $32.4 million write-off in the third quarter of 2014 of the Grifulvin® intangible asset.

50

As part of our ongoing assessment of potential impairment indicators related to our finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we will closely monitor the performance of our product portfolio. If our ongoing assessments reveal indications of impairment, we may determine that an impairment charge is necessary and such charge could be material.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Costs

We recognized restructuring, integration and other costs of $61.7 million and $337.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily related to the B&L, PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions. Refer to note 6 of notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

In-Process Research and Development Impairments and Other Charges

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, we recognized in-process research and development charges of $19.9 million and $40.3 million, respectively, primarily related to (i) the write-off of an IPR&D asset of $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2014 related to analysis of Phase 2 study data for a dermatological product candidate acquired in the December 2012 Medicis acquisition, (ii) an up-front payment of $12.0 million made in connection with an amendment to a license and distribution agreement with a third party in the first quarter of 2014, and (iii) payments to third parties associated with the achievement of specific developmental and regulatory milestones under our research and development programs, including Jublia®, in the second quarter of 2014.

In the third quarter of 2013, we recognized in-process research and development charges of $124.0 million primarily due to the write-off of (i) $93.8 million of IPR&D assets related to the modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine and (ii) $27.3 million of IPR&D assets acquired by Valeant as part of the Aton Pharma, Inc. acquisition in May 2010, mainly related to the termination of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs decreased $7.0 million, or 81%, to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2013, and decreased $20.7 million, or 85%, to $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $24.4 million in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting higher expenses incurred in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 related to the B&L, Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (“Obagi”) and Natur Produkt International, JSC (“Natur Produkt”) acquisitions, as well as other acquisitions, partially offset by acquisition activities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, primarily related to the PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions. Refer to note 3 of notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding business combinations.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration loss of $4.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The net loss was primarily driven by fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into with Meda Pharma SARL (“Meda”) in June 2011 (the “Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement”).

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration gain of $35.0 million and $33.5 million, respectively. The net gain was primarily driven by a net gain related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement. As a result of analysis in the third quarter of 2013 of performance trends since the launch of a generic Zovirax® ointment in April 2013, we adjusted the projected revenue forecast, resulting in an acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain of $25.6 million and $23.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. Also contributing to the acquisition-related contingent net gain was a net gain of $6.9 million, which resulted from the termination, in the third quarter of 2013, of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program, which impacted the probability associated with potential milestone payments.

Other (Income) Expense

We recognized other income of $232.0 million and $275.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, primarily related to (i) a net gain of $323.9 million related to the divestiture of filler and toxin assets in the third quarter of 2014 and (ii) the reversal of a $50.0 million reserve related to the AntiGrippin® litigation in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by (iii) a net loss of $58.5 million related to the divestiture of Metronidazole 1.3% in the third quarter of 2014, (iv) a post-combination expense of $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 related to the acceleration of unvested stock options for PreCision employees, and (v) a loss on sale of $8.8 million related to the divestiture of the generic tretinoin product rights

in the third quarter of 2014, acquired in the PreCision acquisition. Refer to note 4, note 18 and note 3 of notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details related to the divestitures of filler and toxin assets and Metronidazole 1.3%, the AntiGrippin® litigation and the acquisition of PreCision, respectively.

We recognized other expense of $202.4 million and $208.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, primarily due to (i) a charge of $142.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 related to a settlement agreement with Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and (ii) a post-combination expense of $52.8 million, in the aggregate, related to B&L’s previously cancelled performance-based options and the acceleration of unvested stock options for B&L employees as a result of the B&L Acquisition. Refer to note 3 of notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details related to the B&L Acquisition.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $9.1 million, or 4%, to $258.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $249.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 and increased $164.7 million, or 28%, to $746.1 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $581.4 million in the first nine months of 2013. The increase in the first nine months of 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $183.6 million, in the aggregate, related to higher debt balances, driven by the borrowings in the third quarter of 2013 in conjunction with the B&L Acquisition, partially offset by a decrease of $12.4 million, in the aggregate, related to the non-cash amortization and write-off of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

As a result of the financing obtained in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with the B&L Acquisition, we expect an increase in interest expense for the full year 2014 as compared to 2013.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In the first quarter of 2014, we recognized losses of $93.7 million, related to the refinancing of our Series E tranche B term loan facility on February 6, 2014 (as described below under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)”).

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, we recognized losses of $8.2 million and $29.6 million, respectively, related primarily to (i) the repricing of our Series D tranche B term loan facility and our Series C tranche B term loan facility on February 21, 2013 and (ii) the redemption of 9.875% senior notes assumed in connection with the B&L Acquisition in the third quarter of 2013 (see note 3 to unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Foreign Exchange and Other

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, we recognized foreign exchange and other losses of $53.0 million and $63.0 million, respectively, primarily due to a foreign exchange loss on a euro-denominated intercompany loan in the third quarter of 2014.

52

Gain on Investments, Net

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, we recognized gain on investment, net of $3.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The gain on investment, net in both periods was primarily driven by a realized gain of $3.4 million on the sale of available-for-sale equity securities (see note 7 to unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information).

In the first nine months of 2013, we recognized gain on investment, net of $5.8 million. The gain on investment, net was primarily driven by a realized gain of $4.0 million on the sale of an equity investment assumed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition in December 2012.

Income Taxes

The following table displays the dollar amounts of the current and deferred provision (recovery of) for income taxes in the third quarters and first nine months of 2014 and 2013 and the dollar and percentage changes in the dollar amount of each provision. Percentages may not add due to rounding.

____________________________________

NM — Not meaningful

In the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, we recognized an income tax expense of $100.3 million, comprised of $101.4 million related to the expected tax expense in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada and an income tax benefit of $1.1 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, we recognized an income tax expense of $124.4 million, comprised of $130.7 million related to the expected tax expense in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada and an income tax benefit of $6.3 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was different from our statutory Canadian tax rate due to (i) tax expense generated from our annualized mix of earnings by jurisdiction, (ii) a tax benefit on losses in Canada associated with unrealized gains in other comprehensive (loss) income, (iii) tax expense of $97.2 million associated with the divestiture of filler and toxin assets to Galderma, and (iv) tax benefit of $22.2 million related to the U.S. Federal tax return filing update to the prior year estimate of taxes. In addition to the points noted immediately above, the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 was also impacted by (i) tax expense incurred in the first quarter of 2014 of approximately $13.3 million, associated with an out-of-period adjustment for the tax impacts of intercompany profit in ending inventory and (ii) a tax benefit of approximately $20.4 million, inclusive of an out of period adjustment of $15.9 million, associated with the adjustment of various uncertain tax positions previously accrued by us in the second quarter of 2014. Management does not believe that these adjustments are material to the current or prior periods.

(1)Long-lived assets comprise property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $208.5 million, or 35%, to $808.8 million as of September 30, 2014, which primarily reflected the following sources of cash:

• $1.5 billion in operating cash flows; and

• $1.5 billion of net cash proceeds from divestitures primarily related to the divestitures of filler and toxin assets in July 2014. Refer to note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Those factors were partially offset by the following uses of cash:

• $1.2 billion in net repayments, in the aggregate, under our senior secured credit facilities in the first nine months of 2014;

• $1.1 billion paid, in the aggregate, in connection with the purchases of businesses and intangible assets, mainly in respect of the PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions in the first nine months of 2014;

• purchases of property, plant and equipment of $211.2 million;

• contingent consideration payments within financing activities of $96.6 million primarily related to the OraPharma Topco Holdings, Inc. acquisition in June 2012, the Eisai (Targretin®) acquisition in February 2013 and the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into in June 2011;

• $75.9 million payment related to the investment in PS Fund 1, LLC (“PS Fund 1”), a newly formed company jointly owned by Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”) and Valeant in connection with a merger proposal to the Board of Directors of Allergan. Refer to note 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information;

• $38.5 million of employee withholding taxes paid in connection with the exercise of share-based awards; and

• $21.0 million related to debt issue costs paid primarily due to the refinancing of our Series E tranche B term loan facility in February 2014 (as described below under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)”).

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets decreased $1.4 billion, or 6%, to $22.4 billion as of September 30, 2014, primarily due to:

• the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets of $1.2 billion, in the aggregate;

• a reduction of the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill of $1.0 billion and $91.0 million, in the aggregate, related to the divestitures of (i) filler and toxin assets and (ii) Metronidazole 1.3%, respectively, which were divested in July 2014. Refer to note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information; and

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact of $431.8 million.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• the inclusion of the identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment from the 2014 acquisitions of $1.0 billion, in the aggregate, primarily related to the PreCision and Solta Medical acquisitions; and

• purchases of property, plant and equipment of $211.2 million.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt (including the current portion) decreased $1.1 billion, or 6%, to $16.3 billion, primarily due to repayments under our (i) Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 of tranche A term loan facilities, (ii) Series E-1 tranche B term loan facility, and (iii) Series D-2 and Series C-2 of tranche B term loan facilities.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $417.0 million to $618.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $201.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to:

• the inclusion of cash flows in the third quarter of 2014 from all 2013 acquisitions, primarily the B&L Acquisition, as well as all 2014 acquisitions; and

• incremental cash flows from the continued growth of the existing business, including new product launches, partially offset by a decrease in contribution of $31.5 million in the third quarter of 2014 related to the lower sales of the Vanos® franchise and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada) as a result of generic competition.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an increased investment in working capital of $69.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily related to (i) an increase in receivables driven by higher gross sales and product mix and (ii) the impact of changes related to timing of payments, including interest, severance, and integration payments, and receipts in the ordinary course of business, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities due to higher sales reserves.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $716.9 million, or 94%, to $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with $762.1 million in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to:

• the inclusion of cash flows in the first nine months of 2014 from all 2013 acquisitions, primarily the B&L and Obagi acquisitions, as well as all 2014 acquisitions; and

• incremental cash flows from the continued growth of the existing business, including new product launches, partially offset by a decrease in contribution of $134.6 million in the first nine months of 2014 related to the lower sales of the Vanos®, Retin-A Micro® (excluding RAM 0.08%), and Zovirax® franchises and Wellbutrin® XL (Canada) as a result of generic competition.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• higher payments of $147.9 million related to restructuring, integration and other costs in the first nine months of 2014; and

• an increased investment in working capital of $146.7 million in the first nine months of 2014, primarily related to (i) an increase in receivables driven by higher gross sales and product mix and (ii) the impact of changes related to timing of payments, including interest, severance, and integration payments, and receipts in the ordinary course of business, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities due to higher sales reserves.

Investing Activities

55

Net cash provided by investing activities was $756.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with the net cash used in investing activities of $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013, reflecting an increase of $5.2 billion, primarily due to:

• an increase of $3.8 billion, in the aggregate, related to higher purchases of businesses (net of cash acquired) and intangible assets in the prior year, driven mainly by the August 2013 B&L Acquisition; and

• an increase of $1.5 billion, related to higher proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses, net of costs to sell, primarily attributable to the cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion for the divestiture of filler and toxin assets to Galderma in the third quarter of 2014.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $105.8 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared with the net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 billion in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting an increase of $5.3 billion, primarily due to:

• an increase of $4.1 billion, in the aggregate, related to higher purchases of businesses (net of cash acquired) and intangible assets in the prior year, driven mainly by the August 2013 B&L Acquisition; and

• an increase of $1.5 billion, related to higher proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses, net of costs to sell, primarily attributable to the cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion for the divestiture of filler and toxin assets to Galderma in the third quarter of 2014.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• a decrease of $159.5 million related to higher purchases of property, plant and equipment; and

• a decrease of $75.9 million related to the investment in the PS Fund 1, a newly formed company jointly owned by Pershing Square and Valeant, formed in connection with a merger proposal to the Board of Directors of Allergan.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2014, compared with the net cash provided by financing activities of $2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2013, reflecting a decrease of $3.4 billion, primarily due to:

• a decrease of $3.4 billion related to borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities primarily due to the borrowings in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with the B&L Acquisition;

• a decrease related to net proceeds of $3.2 billion from the issuance of senior notes in the third quarter of 2013; and

• a decrease of $1.0 billion related to higher repayments under our senior secured credit facilities in the third quarter of 2014. Refer to note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an increase of $4.2 billion related to the repayment of long-term debt assumed in connection with the B&L Acquisition in the third quarter of 2013 that did not similarly occur in the third quarter of 2014.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 billion in the first nine months of 2014, compared with the net cash provided by financing activities of $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting a decrease of $5.5 billion, primarily due to:

• a decrease of $1.2 billion related to the higher repayments under our senior secured credit facilities in the first nine months of 2014, primarily driven by the principal payments of $1.0 billion, in the aggregate, in the third quarter of 2014. Refer to note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an increase of $4.2 billion related to the repayment of long-term debt assumed in connection with the B&L Acquisition in the third quarter of 2013 that did not similarly occur in the third quarter of 2014;

• an increase of $233.6 million related to the repayments of long-term debt assumed in connection with the Medicis acquisition in the first nine months of 2013 that did not similarly occur in the first nine months of 2014;

• an increase of $59.5 million related to the lower debt issue costs paid in the first nine months of 2014 due to the lower refinancing activities in the first nine months of 2014;

Debt

See note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for detailed information regarding our long-term debt and any transactions described below.

On February 6, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement to reprice and refinance the Series E tranche B term loans (the “Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility”) by the issuance of $2.95 billion in new term loans (the “Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). Term loans under our Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and proceeds from the additional Series A-3 tranche A term loans issuance (the “Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility”) described below. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $93.7 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

Concurrently, on February 6, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement for the issuance of $225.6 million in incremental term loans under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility. Proceeds from this transaction were used to repay part of the term loans outstanding under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

On October 15, 2014, Valeant redeemed all of the outstanding $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) for $518.2 million, including a call premium of $16.9 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and satisfied and discharged the 2017 Notes indenture, solely with respect to the 2017 Notes (the 7.00% senior notes due 2020, issued under the same indenture, remain outstanding at this time).

The senior notes issued by us are our senior unsecured obligations and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The senior notes issued by our subsidiary Valeant are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and each of our subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Certain of the future subsidiaries of the Company and Valeant may be required to guarantee the senior notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $6.2 billion and total liabilities of $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2014, and net revenues of $1.5 billion and net earnings from operations of $413.4million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash, cash collected from customers, funds available from our revolving credit facility, issuances of long-term debt and issuances of equity. We believe these sources will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs. We have commitments approximating $100 million for expenditures related to property, plant and equipment. Since part of our business strategy is to expand through strategic acquisitions, we may be required to seek additional debt financing, issue additional equity securities or sell assets, as necessary, to finance future acquisitions, including the proposed merger with Allergan (see note 20 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for information regarding our proposed merger with Allergan), or for other general corporate purposes. Our current corporate credit rating is Ba3 for Moody’s Investors Service and BB- for Standard and Poor’s. A downgrade may increase our cost of borrowing and may negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital.

As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our covenants related to our outstanding debt. As of September 30, 2014, our short-term portion of long-term debt of $690.6 million, in the aggregate, primarily consisted of (i) the 2017 Notes redeemed in October 2014 (as described above) and (ii) the term loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, due in quarterly installments. We believe our existing cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover these short-term debt maturities as they become due.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and which require management’s most subjective and complex judgment due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available, and to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the annual MD&A contained in the 2013 Form 10-K.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Information regarding the adoption of new accounting guidance is contained in note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of September 30, 2014

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue model is

58

that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity will: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition to these provisions, the new standard provides implementation guidance on several other topics, including the accounting for certain revenue-related costs, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enables users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on our financial position and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new guidance, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on our financial position and results of operations and, as this time, we do not expect any impact on our disclosures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Caution regarding forward-looking information and statements and “Safe-Harbor” statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

 These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: the expected benefits of our acquisitions and other transactions, such as cost savings, operating synergies and growth potential of the Company; business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products; exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes and interest rate changes; the outcome of contingencies, such as certain litigation and regulatory proceedings; general market conditions; and our expectations regarding our financial performance, including revenues, expenses, gross margins, liquidity and income taxes.

 Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “continue”, “will”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “target”, “potential”, “opportunity”, “tentative”, “positioning”, “designed”, “create”, “predict”, “project”, “seek“, “ongoing”, “increase”, or “upside” and variations or other similar expressions.

Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, factors and assumptions regarding the items outlined above. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following:

• the challenges and difficulties associated with managing the rapid growth of our Company and a larger, more complex business;

• the introduction of generic competitors of our brand products;

• the introduction of products that compete against our products that do not have patent or data exclusivity rights, which products represent a significant portion of our revenues;

59

• our ability to compete against companies that are larger and have greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as other competitive factors, such as technological advances achieved, patents obtained and new products introduced by our competitors;

• factors relating to our ability to achieve all of the estimated synergies from our acquisitions as a result of cost-rationalization and integration initiatives. These factors may include greater than expected operating costs, the difficulty in eliminating certain duplicative costs, facilities and functions, and the outcome of many operational and strategic decisions, some of which have not yet been made;

• the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between the Company and Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”), including the ultimate removal or the failure to render inapplicable the obstacles to consummation of such transaction, or the possibility that the Company will not continue to pursue a transaction with Allergan and factors relating to the time, resources and efforts expended in pursuing a transaction with Allergan;

• ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the proposed Allergan transaction, including all necessary stockholder approvals, on a timely basis;

• adverse global economic conditions and credit market and foreign currency exchange uncertainty in the countries in which we do business (such as the recent instability in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East);

• economic factors over which the Company has no control, including changes in inflation, interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the potential effect of such factors on revenues, expenses and resulting margins;

• our ability to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees;

• our ability to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property rights over our products and defend against challenge to such intellectual property;

• the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and regulatory proceedings;  

60

• the risk that our products could cause, or be alleged to cause, personal injury and adverse effects, leading to potential lawsuits and/or withdrawals of products from the market;

• the availability of and our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance coverage and/or our ability to cover or insure against the total amount of the claims and liabilities we face, whether through third party insurance or self-insurance;

• the results of management reviews of our research and development portfolio, conducted periodically and in connection with certain acquisitions, the decisions from which could result in terminations of specific projects which, in turn, could lead to material impairment charges;

• negative publicity or reputational harm to our products and business, including as faced in connection with our proposed transaction with Allergan;

• the uncertainties associated with the acquisition and launch of new products, including, but not limited to, the acceptance and demand for new pharmaceutical products, and the impact of competitive products and pricing;

• our ability to obtain components, raw materials or finished products supplied by third parties and other manufacturing and related supply difficulties, interruptions and delays;

• the disruption of delivery of our products and the routine flow of manufactured goods;

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking

61

statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect actual outcomes, except as required by law.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risks as disclosed under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in the annual MD&A contained in the 2013 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2014, we had $9.7 billion and $6.7 billion principal amount of issued fixed rate debt and variable rate debt, respectively, that requires U.S. dollar repayment. The estimated fair value of our issued fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2014 was $10.1 billion. If interest rates were to increase by 100 basis-points, the fair value of our long-term debt would decrease by approximately $316.6 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 100 basis-points, the fair value of our long-term debt would increase by approximately $220.6 million. We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt as changes in interest rates could adversely affect earnings and cash flows. A 100 basis-points increase in interest rates, based on 3-month LIBOR, would have an annualized pre-tax effect of approximately $43.8million in our consolidated statements of income (loss) and cash flows, based on current outstanding borrowings and effective interest rates on our variable rate debt. For the tranches in our credit facility that have a LIBOR floor, an increase in interest rates would only impact interest expense on those term loans to the extent LIBOR exceeds the floor. While our variable-rate debt may impact earnings and cash flows as interest rates change, it is not subject to changes in fair value.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
