Reorganizations [Abstract]  
Reorganization under Chapter 11 of US Bankruptcy Code Disclosure
2.Bankruptcy Proceedings
Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11
On October 12, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Mallinckrodt plc and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated the Chapter 11 Cases under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court to effectuate settlements contemplated in the RSA. The entities that filed the Chapter 11 Cases include the Company, substantially all of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc operating the Specialty Generics business (the "Specialty Generics Subsidiaries") and the Specialty Brands business (the "Specialty Brands Subsidiaries"), and certain of the Company's international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics Subsidiaries and Specialty Brands Subsidiaries, the "Debtors"). On February 14, 2022, the directors of Mallinckrodt plc initiated examinership proceedings with respect to Mallinckrodt plc and on April 27, 2022, such proceedings substantively concluded. Refer to Note 15 for further information. Pursuant to orders granted by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Chapter 11 proceedings commenced by a limited subset of the Company's subsidiaries have also been recognized and given effect in Canada. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Mallinckrodt plc, Case No. 20-12522 (JTD). Information
about the Chapter 11 Cases, including the case docket, may be found free of charge at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/Mallinckrodt/.
The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. As debtors-in-possession, the Debtors are authorized to continue to operate as ongoing businesses, and may pay all debts and honor all obligations arising in the ordinary course of their businesses after the Petition Date. However, the Debtors may not pay third-party claims or creditors on account of obligations arising before the Petition Date or engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, third-party actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness owed by the Debtors, as well as most litigation pending against the Company as of the Petition Date, are subject to an automatic stay. However, under the Bankruptcy Code, certain regulatory or criminal proceedings generally are not subject to the automatic stay and may continue unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court providing otherwise, substantially all pre-petition liabilities will be resolved under the Plan. See Confirmed Plan of Reorganization section below for contemplated distributions to creditors and interest holders.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, modify, assign or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and to certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, where applicable, the express termination rights thereunder or a quantification of their obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any overriding rejection rights the Debtors have under the Bankruptcy Code.

Significant Bankruptcy Court Actions
Chapter 11 Financing
The Company obtained an order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases (in a form agreed with, among others, the agent under the senior secured credit facilities, lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans and holders of the first lien senior notes and the second lien senior notes) permitting the use of cash collateral to finance the Chapter 11 Cases. Such use is subject to an approved budget, updated and submitted every four weeks, consisting of rolling thirteen-week periods subject to the consent of the lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans.
Such order requires that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition fees, unpaid pre-petition interest (at the specified contract rate) and post-petition interest (at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 200 basis points), quarterly amortization payments on the senior secured term loans and reimbursement of certain costs. Such order further requires that the Company make cash adequate protection payments on the first lien senior notes and the second lien senior notes for, among other things, unpaid pre-petition and post-petition interest (at the specified non-default interest rate) and reimbursement of certain costs. On April 13, 2021, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court approval of their motion to amend the final cash collateral order as of March 22, 2021 to pay post-petition interest on the senior secured term loans at a rate equal to (1) the adjusted LIBOR, plus (2) the contract-specified applicable margin, and plus (3) an incremental 250 basis points for its senior secured term loans.
Interest expense incurred and paid with respect to the incremental adequate protection payments of 200 basis points and 250 basis points on the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loans, respectively, were as follows:

Injunctive Litigation Relief
The Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending its prior injunctions against certain opioid and Acthar Gel-related litigation matters proceeding against the Debtors and also against certain covered non-Debtors on August 30, 2021. The Bankruptcy Court
further extended the injunction on November 29, 2021 and on March 17, 2022. Absent further extension, the injunction will expire at the earlier of (a) plan effective date or (b) June 16, 2022, with certain modifications. Refer to Note 12 for further discussion.
Distribution Agreement Contract Rejection
On March 30, 2022, the Company sought authorization from the Bankruptcy Court to reject the CuraScript Inc. ("CuraScript") distribution agreement. On April 11, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered the order authorizing the rejection of the CuraScript distribution agreement effective April 22, 2022. The rejection has the effect of relieving the Company of certain obligations under such agreement. In turn, the Company has entered into a distribution agreement with FFF Enterprises, Inc, which took effect on April 25, 2022. The new distribution agreement covers the same scope of services and products on terms that are at least approximately comparable economically to the CuraScript distribution agreement. As such, the Company believes the transition will result in no material financial impact or operational disruptions.

Confirmed Plan of Reorganization
On February 3, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan and subsequently entered the Confirmation Order on March 2, 2022. The Plan provides for the following:
A proposed resolution of all opioid-related claims against the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the amended proposed settlement (the "Amended Proposed Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement"), which would become effective upon Mallinckrodt’s emergence from the Chapter 11 process, subject to court approval and other conditions:
Opioid claims would be channeled to one or more trusts, which would receive $1,725.0 million in structured payments consisting of (i) a $450.0 million payment upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11; (ii) a $200.0 million payment upon each of the first and second anniversaries of emergence; (iii) a $150.0 million payment upon each of the third through seventh anniversaries of emergence; and (iv) a $125.0 million payment upon the eighth anniversary of emergence with an eighteen-month prepayment option at a discount for all but the first payment.
Opioid claimants would also receive, in addition to other potential consideration, warrants for approximately 19.99% of the reorganized Company’s new outstanding shares, after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants, but subject to dilution from equity reserved under the management incentive plan, exercisable at any time on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Company's emergence, at a strike price reflecting an aggregate equity value for the reorganized Debtors of $1,551.0 million (the "New Opioid Warrants").
Upon commencing the Chapter 11 filing, the Company began to comply with an agreed-upon operating injunction with respect to the operation of its opioid business.
A proposed resolution with the U.S. Department of Justice and other governmental parties to settle a range of litigation matters and disputes relating to Acthar Gel.
The Company has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and other governmental parties to settle a range of litigation matters and disputes relating to Acthar Gel (the "Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement") including the Medicaid lawsuit with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), a related False Claims Act ("FCA") lawsuit in Boston, and an Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("EDPA") FCA lawsuit principally relating to Acthar Gel's previous owner's (Questcor Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Questcor")) interactions with an independent charitable foundation. Under the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, which was conditioned upon the Company entering the Chapter 11 restructuring process, the Company has agreed to pay $260.0 million to the DOJ and other parties over seven years and reset Acthar Gel’s Medicaid rebate calculation as of July 1, 2020, such that state Medicaid programs will receive 100% rebates on Acthar Gel Medicaid sales, based on current Acthar Gel pricing. Also in connection with the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement, the Company entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement ("CIA") with the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") in March 2022. As a result of these agreements, upon effectiveness of the settlement, the U.S. Government will drop its demand for approximately $640 million in retrospective Medicaid rebates for Acthar Gel and agree to dismiss the FCA lawsuit in Boston and the EDPA FCA lawsuit upon consummation of the Plan and emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases. Similarly, state and territory Attorneys General will also drop related lawsuits. In turn, the Company will dismiss its appeal of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia's ("D.C. District Court") adverse decision in the Medicaid lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("D.C. Circuit").
Mallinckrodt has entered into the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement with the DOJ and other governmental parties solely to move past these litigation matters and disputes and does not make any admission of liability or wrongdoing.
A modification of the Company's senior secured term loans. At the end of the court-supervised process, lenders holding allowed claims in respect of the Company’s senior secured term loans due September 2024 (the "2017 Term Loans") and its senior secured term loans due February 2025 (the "2018 Term Loans") are expected to receive either (1) their pro rata share of new senior secured term loans in an amount equal to the then-remaining principal amount of claims (as reduced by, inter alia, the excess cash flow payment) bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 5.25% (with respect to the 2017 Term Loan) or LIBOR plus 5.50% (with respect to the 2018 Term Loan), maturing on the earlier of September 30, 2027 and 5.75 years after emergence and without any financial maintenance covenant, and payment in cash of an exit fee equal to 1.00% of such remaining principal amount or (2) payment in full of such remaining principal amount in cash and payment in cash of an exit fee equal to 0.50% of such remaining principal amount. A mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to $114.0 million arising from excess cash flow with respect to fiscal 2020 was paid to the holders of the Company’s 2017 and 2018 Term Loans on March 19, 2021.
The repayment of the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility. At the end of the court-supervised process, all allowed claims under such facility are expected to be paid in full in cash, principally with the proceeds of newly incurred debt.
The reinstatement of the agreements associated with the Company's 10.00% first lien senior secured notes. At the end of the court-supervised process, all allowed claims under these agreements will be reinstated at existing rates and maturities as the applicable holders' purported make-whole claims were disallowed.
A modification of the Company's 10.00% second lien senior secured notes. At the end of the court-supervised process, lenders holding allowed claims in respect of the Company’s 10.00% second lien senior secured notes are expected to receive their pro rata share of new 10.00% second lien senior secured notes due 2025 that will have the same principal amount and other economic terms as the existing second lien senior secured notes.
A restructuring of the Company’s unsecured notes under the guaranteed unsecured notes indentures. At the end of the court-supervised process, holders of allowed claims under indentures governing the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022, the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Guaranteed Unsecured Notes") and the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes are expected to receive their pro rata share of $375.0 million of new 10.00% second lien senior secured notes due seven years after emergence and 100% of the new Mallinckrodt ordinary shares, subject to dilution by the warrants described above and the management incentive plan. Under the terms of the RSA, a consent fee equal to 1.50% is payable to consenting noteholders in an amount equal to 1.50% of each such noteholder's Guaranteed Unsecured Notes.
A proposed resolution of other remaining claims and treatment of equity holders. At the end of the court-supervised process, certain trade creditors and holders of other allowed general unsecured claims, including holders of the 9.50% debentures due May 2022, the 8.00% debentures due March 2023 and the 4.75% senior notes due April 2023, are expected to share in $135.0 million in cash, plus other potential consideration, in accordance with the allocations as prescribed in the Plan, and equity holders would receive no recovery.

Financial Reporting in Reorganization
Effective on the Petition Date, the Company began to apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 852 - Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. These requirements include distinguishing transactions directly associated with the reorganization from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business within the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date. Expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that are directly associated with reorganization proceedings must be reported separately as reorganization items, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC") of the Debtors from pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise, post-petition liabilities, and liabilities of the subsidiaries of the Company that are not debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. LSTC are pre-petition obligations that are not fully secured and have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the full claim amount. Where there is uncertainty about whether a secured claim will be paid or impaired pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have classified the entire amount of the claim as LSTC.
Furthermore, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession, actions to enforce or otherwise effect the payment of certain claims against the Debtors in existence before the Petition Date are stayed while the Debtors continue business operations as debtors-in-possession. These claims are reflected as LSTC in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additional claims (which could be LSTC) may arise after the Petition Date resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or agreement by parties-in-interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.
Certain subsidiary entities are not debtors under the Chapter 11 Cases. However, unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Debtors are not presented in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the assets and liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the non-debtor entities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are insignificant and, therefore, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein materially represent the unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the debtor entities for all periods presented.
Non-debtor entity intercompany balances from/due to the debtor entities at the end of each period were:
April 1,
2022
December 31,
2021
Intercompany receivables$146.2 $119.1 
Intercompany payables115.6 112.9 
The intercompany balances were primarily attributable to the Company's centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The permission to continue the use of existing cash management systems during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on a final basis as part of certain "first day" motions.
The Company is currently assessing whether or not it qualifies for fresh start accounting upon emergence from Chapter 11. If the Company were to meet the requirements to adopt the fresh start accounting rules, its assets and liabilities would be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is subject to compromise or other treatment pursuant to the Plan. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors the authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors' business and assets.
The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be settled or treated cannot be made until the Plan becomes effective. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time. Pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts currently classified as LSTC are preliminary and may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events.

Liabilities subject to compromise at the end of each period consisted of the following:
April 1,
2022
December 31,
2021
Accounts payable$43.4 $42.9 
Accrued interest35.2 35.2 
Debt3,746.2 3,750.8 
Environmental liabilities66.9 52.0 
Medicaid lawsuit634.7 634.7 
Opioid-related litigation settlement liability1,725.0 1,725.0 
Other current and non-current liabilities149.6 125.1 
Pension and postretirement benefits32.2 32.0 
Total liabilities subject to compromise$6,433.2 $6,397.7 
Contractual interest
While the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, the Company is not accruing interest on its unsecured debt instruments as of the Petition Date on a go-forward basis as the Debtors do not anticipate making interest payments due under their respective unsecured debt instruments; however, the Debtors expect to pay all interest payments in full as they come due under their respective senior secured debt instruments. The total aggregate amount of interest payments due under the Company's unsecured debt instruments for both the three months ended April 1, 2022 and March 26, 2021, which it did not pay was $17.7 million.

Chapter 11 Claims Process
The Debtors have received over 50,000 proofs of claim since the Petition Date. The Debtors continue their review and analysis of certain claims including litigation claims, trade creditor claims, non-qualified benefit plan claims, customer deposits and advances, along with other tax and regulatory claims, and therefore, the ultimate liability of the Debtors for such claims may differ from the amount recorded in LSTC. To the extent that the Debtors believe that such claims will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors will continue to record the expected allowed amounts of such claims as LSTC. The determination of the expected allowed amount of a claim is based on many factors, including whether the Debtors are party to a settlement agreement with applicable claimholders or their representatives, and is not necessarily limited to information available to the Debtors. Claims covered by a settlement agreement include the Proposed Acthar Gel-Related Settlement and Amended Opioid-Related Litigation Settlement (collectively, the "Proposed Settlements"). See Confirmed Plan of Reorganization section within this note for more information on settlement of these claims. As the Debtors continue to resolve claims, differences between those final allowed claims and the liabilities recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet will be recognized as reorganization items, net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they are resolved. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be resolved cannot be made until the Plan is consummated or the Bankruptcy Court approves orders related to settlement of specific liabilities. Accordingly, the ultimate amount or resolution of such liabilities is not determinable at this time. The resolution of such claims could result in substantial adjustments to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reorganization items, net
Reorganization items, net, represent amounts incurred after the Petition Date as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are comprised of bankruptcy-related professional fees and adjustments to reflect the carrying value of LSTC at their estimated allowed claim amounts, as such adjustments are approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Cash paid for reorganization items, net for the three months ended April 1, 2022 and March 26, 2021 was $79.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively. Reorganization items, net, were comprised of the following:
