Solely for convenience, the Company only uses the ™ or ® symbols the first time any trademark or trade name is mentioned in the following notes.

Basis of Presentation

On October 12, 2020 ("Petition Date"), Mallinckrodt plc and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc operating the Specialty Generics business ("Specialty Generics Subsidiaries") and the Specialty Brands business ("Specialty Brands Subsidiaries"), and certain of the Company's international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics Subsidiaries and Specialty Brands Subsidiaries, the "Debtors") voluntarily initiated proceedings ("Chapter 11 Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Code ("Bankruptcy Code"). On March 2, 2022, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware ("Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the fourth amended plan of reorganization (with technical modifications) ("Plan"). Subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Chapter 11 proceedings commenced by a limited subset of the Debtors were recognized and given effect in Canada, and separately the High Court of Ireland made an order confirming a scheme of arrangement on April 27, 2022, which is based on and consistent in all respects with the Plan ("Scheme of Arrangement"). On June 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a minor modification to the Plan. The Plan became effective on June 16, 2022 ("Effective Date"), and on such date the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 and the Scheme of Arrangement became effective concurrently.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852 - Reorganizations, and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of the Effective Date. References to "Successor" relate to the financial position as of June 16, 2022 and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to June 16, 2022, while references to "Predecessor" relate to the financial position prior to June 16, 2022 and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, June 16, 2022. All emergence-related transactions of the Predecessor were recorded as of June 16, 2022. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Successor are not comparable to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor.

Reorganization items, net for the Successor represents amounts incurred after the Effective Date that directly resulted from Chapter 11 and were entirely comprised of professional fees associated with the implementation of the Plan. Reorganization items, net for the Predecessor represents amounts incurred after the Petition Date but prior to emergence as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases and were comprised of bankruptcy-related professional fees and adjustments to reflect the carrying value of liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC") at their estimated allowed claim amounts, as such adjustments were approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Cash paid for reorganization items, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Successor) and April 1, 2022 (Successor) was $9.4 million and $79.1 million, respectively.

The Company also reassessed and updated its product line net sales presentation for its Specialty Generics segment. Beginning with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 1, 2022 (Successor), the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the updated product line net sales structure for its Specialty Generics segment. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform to current presentation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which they own or control more than 50.0% of the voting shares, or have the ability to control through similar rights. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows and financial position have been made. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the results reported. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

The results of entities disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal, and where appropriate, these operations have been reported in discontinued operations. Divestitures of product lines and businesses not meeting the criteria for discontinued operations have been reflected in operating loss.

The fiscal year end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 3, 2023 ("Annual Report on Form 10-K").

Fiscal Year

The Company reports its results based on a "52-53 week" year ending on the last Friday of December. Unless otherwise indicated, the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Successor) refers to the thirteen week period ended March 31, 2023 (Successor) and the three months ended April 1, 2022 (Predecessor) refers to the thirteen week period ended April 1, 2022 (Predecessor).
