Revenue Recognition
Product Sales Revenue
The Company sells its products through independent channels which are considered its customers, including direct to retail pharmacies, direct to hospitals and other institutions and through distributors. The Company also enters into arrangements with health care providers and payers, wholesalers, government agencies, institutions, managed care organizations and group purchasing organizations to establish contract pricing for certain products that provide for government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) and/or privately-negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, sales incentives, chargebacks, distribution service agreements fees, fees for services and administration fees and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products.
Reserve for Variable Considerations
Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. These reserves result from estimated government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) and/or privately-negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, sales incentives, chargebacks, distribution service agreements fees, fees for services and administration fees and discounts that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers and , health care providers and payers, government agencies, institutions, managed care organizations and group purchasing organizations health care providers and payers relating to the sale of the Company's products. These reserves are based on the expected value method and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customer) or as a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, estimated future trends, estimated customer inventory levels, current contractual agreements, and the level of utilization of the Company’s products. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimate of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained (reduced) and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. The Company adjusts reserves for chargebacks, government-mandated (Medicare and Medicaid) rebates, privately negotiated (Managed Care) rebates, product returns and other sales deductions to reflect differences between estimated and actual experience either on a monthly or quarterly basis (dependent on the deduction type). Such adjustments impact the amount of net sales recognized in the period of adjustment.
Product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company's product. Control is transferred either at a point in time, generally upon delivery to the customer site, or in the case of certain of the Company's products, over the period in which the customer has access to the product and related services. Revenue recognized over time is based upon either consumption of the product or passage of time based upon the Company's determination of the measure that best aligns with how the obligation is satisfied. The Company's considerations of why such measures provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of its products are as follows:
For those contracts whereby revenue is recognized over time based upon consumption of the product, the Company either has:
1.the right to invoice the customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company's performance to date, for which the practical expedient to recognize in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice has been applied, or
2.the remaining goods and services to which the customer is entitled is diminished upon consumption.
For those contracts whereby revenue is recognized over time based upon the passage of time, the benefit that the customer receives from unlimited access to the Company's product does not vary, regardless of consumption. As a result, the Company's obligation diminishes with the passage of time; therefore, ratable recognition of the transaction price over the contract period is the measure that best aligns with how the obligation is satisfied.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The majority of the Company's contracts have a term of less than one year; and the amount of transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied at period end is generally expected to be satisfied within one year.
Cost to obtain a contract
As the majority of the Company's contracts are short-term in nature, sales commissions are generally expensed when incurred as the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations. For contracts that extend beyond one year, the incremental expense recognition matches the recognition of related revenue.
Costs to fulfill a contract
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the devices used in the Company's portfolio of drug-device combination products, which are used in satisfaction of future performance obligations. Capital expenditures for these devices represent cash outflows for the Company's cost to produce the asset, which is classified in property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and expensed to cost of sales over the useful life of the equipment.
Product Royalty Revenues
The Company licensed certain rights to Amitiza® (lubiprostone) (“Amitiza”) to third parties in exchange for royalties on net sales of the product. The Company recognized such royalty revenue as the related sales occurred.
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payments received from customers are typically based upon payment terms of 30 days. The Company does not maintain contract asset balances aside from the accounts receivable balance as presented on the consolidated balance sheets as costs to obtain a contract are expensed when incurred as the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within SG&A on the consolidated statements of operations. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company's performance, including amounts that are refundable.
Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis. Accordingly, such taxes are excluded from both net sales and expenses.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping costs, which are costs incurred to physically move product from the Company's premises to the customer's premises, are classified as SG&A. Handling costs, which are costs incurred to store, move and prepare product for shipment, are classified as cost of sales. Shipping costs included in SG&A expenses in continuing operations were as follows:

Research and Development
Internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include salary and benefits, allocated overhead and occupancy costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract services, medical affairs and other costs.
From time to time, the Company has entered into licensing or collaborative agreements with third parties to develop a new drug candidate or intellectual property asset. These agreements may include R&D, marketing, promotion and selling activities to be performed by one or all parties involved. These collaborations generally include upfront, milestone and royalty or profit sharing payments contingent upon future events tied to the developmental and commercial success of the asset. In general, upfront and milestone payments made to third parties under these agreements are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval of the product. Milestone payments made to third parties upon regulatory approval are capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated useful life of the related product.

Restructuring
The Company recognizes charges associated with the Board of Directors approved restructuring programs designed to transform its business and improve its cost structure. Restructuring charges can include severance costs, infrastructure charges, distributor contract cancellations and other items. The Company accrues for costs when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity or liability-based instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. That cost is recognized over the requisite service period, which is the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The cost for liability-based instruments is remeasured accordingly each reporting period throughout the requisite service period.
As of the 2023 Effective Date, the Company’s ordinary shares were no longer traded on an active market. Accordingly, the fair value of those share-based awards granted after the 2023 Effective Date requires the valuation of the Company’s equity utilizing the application of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments. With the assistance of a third-party valuation advisor, the estimated fair value of total share-based awards was based on an income approach, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the business based on its projection. The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the equity value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to expected future revenue and expenses, future cash flows, discount rates, and the probability of possible future events. While the Company considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s equity value.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Gain on Divestitures
Assets and liabilities to be disposed of together as a group in a single transaction (“disposal groups”) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Held for sale classification is required when the six criteria in ASC 360 - Property, Plant and Equipment are met. This generally occurs when an agreement to sell exists, or management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year.
The long-lived assets included in a disposal group are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell, beginning in the period the held for sale criteria are met. Fair value is determined using acceptable valuation principles, such as the excess earnings, relief from royalty, lost profit or cost method, or a market-based measurement, as applicable. Prior to disposal, losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less cost to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell, but not in excess of any cumulative losses previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result from the sale of a disposal group shall be recognized at the date of sale. Depreciation and amortization expense are not recorded on long-lived assets included within the disposal group. Gains or loss on the sale of businesses are recognized upon disposition.

Income (Loss) Per Share
Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed using the weighted-average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares represent the incremental ordinary shares issuable for restricted share units. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted share units on income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities, including participating securities, are not included in the computation of income per share if the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Currency Translation
For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the related month. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, the Company has entered into derivative instruments to mitigate the exposure of movements in certain of these foreign currency transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of losses inherent in the Company's accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current facts and circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other available evidence. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines they are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are also presented net of reserves related to chargebacks and rebates payable to customers with whom the Company has trade accounts receivable and the right of offset exists.

Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out convention. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation for property, plant and equipment, other than land and construction in process, is generally based upon the following estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method:
Buildings10to45 years
Leasehold improvementsRemaining term of lease
Capitalized software8to10 years
Machinery and equipment5to15 years
The Company capitalizes certain computer software and development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use.
Upon retirement or other disposal of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related amount of accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is included in net loss.
The Company assesses the recoverability of assets or asset groups using undiscounted cash flows whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If an asset or asset group is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset or asset group and its fair value.

Leases
The Company assesses all contracts at inception to determine whether a lease exists. The Company leases office space, manufacturing and warehousing facilities, equipment and vehicles, which are generally operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes operating lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. The Company's lease agreements generally do not contain variable lease payments or any material residual value guarantees.
Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. As the Company's leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. Most leases include one or more options to terminate or renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Termination and renewal options are included within the lease assets and liabilities only to the extent they are reasonably certain.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value, while intangible assets acquired in other transactions are recorded at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized according to the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is used up over their estimated useful lives, using either the straight-line method or the sum-of-the-years digits method.
Amortization expense related to completed technology is included in cost of sales.
When a triggering event occurs, the Company evaluates potential impairment of finite-lived intangible assets by first comparing undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset, or the asset group they are part of, to its carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the amount of potential impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets, or asset group, with their carrying value. The fair value of the intangible asset, or asset group, is estimated using an income approach. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, or asset group, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset. The Company assesses the remaining useful life and the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company annually tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable by either a qualitative or income approach. The Company will compare the fair value of the assets with their carrying value and record an impairment when the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards, using tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The tax benefit of any tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50.0% likely of being realized upon resolution of the uncertainty. To the extent a full benefit is not realized on the uncertain tax position, an income tax liability or a reduction to a deferred tax asset (“contra-DTA”) is established. Interest and penalties on income tax obligations, associated with uncertain tax positions, are included in the provision for income taxes.
The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across the Company's global operations. The Company adjusts these liabilities and contra-DTAs as a result of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from current estimates of the tax liabilities. If the Company's estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities may result in income tax benefits being recognized in the period when it is determined that the liabilities are no longer necessary. Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the classification of such amounts in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including government investigations, environmental matters, product liability matters, patent infringement claims, antitrust matters, securities class action lawsuits, personal injury claims, employment disputes, contractual and other commercial disputes, and all other legal proceedings, all in the ordinary course of business as further discussed in Note 19. The Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company discounts environmental liabilities using a risk-free rate of return when the obligation is fixed or reasonably determinable. The impact of the discount in the consolidated balance sheets was not material in any period presented. Legal fees, other than those pertaining to environmental matters, are expensed as incurred. Insurance recoveries related to potential claims are recognized up to the amount of the recorded liability when coverage is confirmed and the estimated recoveries are probable of payment. Assets and liabilities are not netted for financial statement presentation.

Derivatives and hedging
The Company evaluated the terms and features of its First-Out Takeback Term Loans, Second-Out Takeback Term Loans and Takeback Notes and identified an embedded feature that, in certain scenarios, could materially modify the cash flows of the respective debt instruments.
The Company evaluated the embedded feature and determined that it was not clearly and closely related to the underlying debt instruments and did not qualify for any scope exceptions set forth in the accounting standards. Accordingly, this embedded feature is required to be bifurcated from its host instruments and accounted for separately as an embedded derivative liability. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the embedded derivatives as a liability on its consolidated balance sheet.
The embedded derivative will be adjusted to fair value each reported period with changes in fair value subsequent to the issuance date recognized within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The debt derivative liability was zero and $15.1 million as of December 27, 2024 (Successor) and December 29, 2023 (Successor), respectively, and was recorded within accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2023 (Successor).
The fair value of the derivative is determined using the with-and-without model which compares the estimated fair value of the underlying debt instruments with the embedded feature to the estimated fair value of the underlying debt instruments without the embedded feature, with the difference representing the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative feature. The with-and-without model includes significant unobservable estimates, including an estimation of the Company’s probability of an asset sale. Management estimates the probability of the asset sale based on its assessment of entity specific factors and the status of on-going transaction negotiations, if any. Changes in the inputs into the valuation model may have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. For further details, refer to Note 20.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the commencement of the 2023 and 2020 Bankruptcy Proceedings, the payment of pre-petition liabilities was subject to compromise or other treatment pursuant to the 2023 and 2020 Plans. The determination of how liabilities would ultimately be settled or treated could not be made until the confirmed 2023 and 2020 Plans became effective. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities was not determinable prior to the respective 2023 and 2020 Effective Dates. Pre-petition liabilities that were subject to compromise were reported at the amounts that were expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts classified as LSTC prior to the 2023 and 2020 Effective Dates were preliminary and were subject to future adjustments dependent upon 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures in November 2023. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) expands on reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The required disclosure, which is on an annual and interim basis, specifies that significant segment expenses are expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and are used to evaluate performance by segment to make decisions about resource allocations. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year ending December 27, 2024 and interim periods within the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025. The Company adopted this standard retrospectively, as required, effective for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2024, resulting in incremental disclosures. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures in December 2023. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate (the “rate reconciliation”) for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires new financial statement disclosures about the nature, amount, and timing of relevant expense categories underlying income statement expense, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
