(1) General and description of the business

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Holdings plc (“UK Holdco”) is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. On December 16, 2020, upon incorporation, UK Holdco had an initial share capital of one ordinary share and 50,000 preferred redeemable shares (“Incorporation Shares”). On January 25, 2021, UK Holdco became the new holding company of Bermuda Holdco and its subsidiaries and The Carlyle Group L.P. (“Carlyle”), and all other shareholders of Bermuda Holdco contributed all of their outstanding equity interests in Bermuda Holdco to UK Holdco in exchange for ordinary shares of UK Holdco on a 1-for-1 basis (“Reorganization Transactions”).

UK Holdco is a holding company with no business operations or assets other than cash, intercompany receivables, miscellaneous administrative costs and guarantees of certain obligations of Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (“Ortho U.S.”) and 100% of its ownership interest of Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Holdings Luxembourg S.à r.l., which itself is a holding company with no operations or assets other than cash, intercompany receivables, miscellaneous administrative costs and its ownership of 100% of the capital stock of Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics S.A. (“LuxCo”). LuxCo, together with its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Ortho U.S., are co-borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and co-issuers of the Notes (each as defined in Note 9–Borrowings). UK Holdco’s global operations are conducted by indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “its”, and the “Company” refer to UK Holdco and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Reorganization Transactions.

The Company is a leading global provider of in-vitro diagnostics solutions to the clinical laboratory and transfusion medicine communities. The Company maintains a commercial presence in more than 130 countries and territories. The Company’s instruments, assays, reagents and other consumables are used in hospitals, laboratories, clinics, blood banks and donor centers worldwide. The Company is globally operated with manufacturing facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom and sales centers, administrative offices and warehouses located throughout the world.

COVID-19

Both the Company’s domestic and international operations have been and continue to be affected by the ongoing global pandemic of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the resulting volatility and uncertainty it has caused in the U.S. and international markets. The Company has a direct commercial presence in more than 30 countries, including many of the regions most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A decrease in shipments to the Company’s customers began to occur during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2020 in many countries, including the U.S. As a result, during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, the Company experienced decreased revenues and incurred idle or underutilized facilities costs, higher freight and higher distribution costs compared to the periods prior to the pandemic. During the fiscal quarter ended January 3, 2021, the Company started to experience a recovery in the base business of its core revenue, which continued through the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. During the same period, the Company also continued to experience higher distribution costs due to higher shipping rates as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Initial Public and Secondary Offerings

On February 1, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of ordinary shares at a price of $17.00 per share. The Company issued and sold 87,400,000 ordinary shares in the IPO, including 11,400,000 ordinary shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. The ordinary shares sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “IPO Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on January 29, 2021. The offering generated net proceeds of $1,426.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO (i) to redeem $160.0 million of its 2025 Notes, plus accrued interest thereon and $11.8 million of redemption premium, (ii) to redeem $270.0 million of its 2028 Notes, plus accrued interest thereon and $19.6 million of redemption premium, (iii) to repay $892.7 million in aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its Dollar Term Loan Facility and (iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In September 2021, the Company completed an underwritten secondary offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of 25.3 million ordinary shares held by a selling shareholder affiliated with Carlyle, including 3.3 million ordinary shares pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. The ordinary shares sold in the Secondary Offering were registered under the securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 9, 2021. The Company did not offer any ordinary shares in this transaction and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by

the selling shareholder. The Company incurred costs of $1.1 million in relation to the Secondary Offering for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

Business Combination with Quidel

On December 22, 2021, the Company, Coronado Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Coronado Topco”), Laguna Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Topco (“U.S. Merger Sub”), Orca Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Topco (“U.S. Holdco Sub”), Orca Holdco 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Holdco Sub (“U.S. Holdco Sub 2”) and Quidel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Quidel”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Combinations”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (i) under a scheme of arrangement under UK corporate law, each issued and outstanding share of the Company will be acquired by a depository nominee (or transferred within the depository nominee) on behalf of Coronado Topco in exchange for (x) 0.1055 shares of common stock of Coronado Topco and (y) $7.14 in cash (the “Ortho Scheme”), and (ii) immediately after the consummation of the Ortho Scheme, U.S. Merger Sub will merge with and into Quidel, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Quidel common stock will be converted into one share of Coronado Topco common stock, with Quidel surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Coronado Topco. The boards of directors of both the Company and Quidel have unanimously approved the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which is expected to close during the first half of fiscal year 2022. Upon completion of the Combinations, which requires shareholder approval, the Company's shareholders are expected to own approximately 38% of Coronado Topco and Quidel stockholders are expected to own approximately 62% of Coronado Topco on a fully diluted basis, based on the respective capitalizations of the Company and Quidel as of the date the parties entered into the Business Combination Agreement.

In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by Ortho as a result of the occurrence of certain terms and conditions as specified therein, the Company must pay Quidel a termination fee of approximately $46.9 million, less any expenses reimbursable by Quidel pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by Quidel as a result of the occurrence of certain terms and conditions as specified therein, the Company will receive approximately $207.8 million, less any expenses reimbursable by Ortho pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, at January 2, 2022, the Company has total cash and cash equivalents balance of $309.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $1,971.8 million. The Company has incurred losses since the acquisition from Johnson & Johnson and reported a net loss of $54.3 million, while generating $286.6 million of cash from operating activities during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. The Company’s primary cash needs will be to meet debt service requirements, working capital needs and capital expenditures. Management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued and, if so, disclose that fact.

The Company’s debt agreements contain various covenants that may restrict the Company’s ability to borrow on available credit facilities and future financing arrangements and require the Company to remain below a specific credit coverage threshold. The Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9–Borrowings) has a financial covenant referred to as the “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 5.5-to-1, subject to a 50 basis point step-down on September 30, 2022 that is tested when borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed 30% of the committed amount at any period end reporting date. As of January 2, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $46.3 million. The Company believes that it has complied and will continue to comply with the financial covenant for the next 12 months. In the event the Company does not comply with the financial covenant of the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders will have the right to call on all of the borrowings under the revolving facility. If the lenders on the revolving facility terminate their commitments and accelerate the loans, this would become a cross default to other material indebtedness.

The Company evaluated its liquidity position and ability to comply with financial covenants in its Revolving Credit Facility as of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Based on this evaluation, management believes that the Company’s financial position, net cash provided by operating activities combined with cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund its current obligations, capital spending, debt service requirements and working capital requirements over at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Should it become necessary, the Company may seek to raise additional capital within the next 12 months through borrowings on credit facilities, other financing activities and/or the sale of equity securities. The Company may also need to control discretionary spending, which could impact its planned general and administrative, research and development, or capital spend in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue its operations or maintain compliance with the financial covenants, and the Company may be subject to adverse business conditions due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business.
