In addition to current and historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our strategy, expected future revenue, the prospects for 
approval of product candidates and the timing of regulatory approvals, and the growth and future development of the company, its business units and its products. words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” 
“plans,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue” or similar language identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and 
unknown risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to these differences include, but are 
not limited to, risks and uncertainties discussed in our most recent annual or quarterly report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators, which factors 
are incorporated herein by reference. You should consider these in evaluating our prospects and future financial performance. The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this report. 
We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after this report or to reflect actual outcomes.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION              
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items, such as amor-
tization of inventory step-up, stock-based compensation step-up, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&d”), legal settlements, amortization and other 
non-cash charges, amortization of deferred financing costs, debt discounts and ASC 470-20 (FSP APB 14-1) interest, loss on extinguishment of debt, and (gain) loss on investments, net, and adjusts tax expense to 
cash taxes. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, 
management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the company’s core operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in 
accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures 
calculated in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in our quarterly financial press tables and can be found under 
the Investor Relations section at www.valeant.com.

At  Valeant,  we  strive  to  achieve  a  balanced  and  diversified  portfolio  of  prescription 

brands, branded generics and over-the-counter (OTC) products in niche categories 

and  making  them  available  to  patients  across  an  array  of  geographies  including  the 

U.S., Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, South East Asia and South  

Africa. We continue to seek high-growth opportunities where we believe we will have a  

competitive advantage, while avoiding markets where growth and profitability is limited. 

Our success is measured through the returns on investments we deliver to our shareholders.

Although  our  operating  philosophy  is  purposefully  international,  it  is  not  global.  Our  

Emerging  Markets  segment  includes  our  historical  businesses  in  Central  and  Eastern  

Europe  and  Latin  America,  primarily  in  Mexico  and  Brazil,  with  new  marketing  

opportunities recently acquired in South East Asia, South Africa and Russia. Traditionally,  

most of the larger pharmaceutical companies do not focus on these regions, but at  

Valeant we believe our investments in these territories will continue to yield high growth 

through the application of our successful business model.

New Growth Platforms

At Valeant, we are constantly seeking out new and unique opportunities in a variety of 

therapeutic classes and geographic locations in order to deliver much-needed therapies  

designed to help improve the lives of our patients while consistently delivering high  

rewards  to  our  investors.  In  2012  we  established  new  geographic  growth  platforms  in 

South East Asia, South Africa and Russia, and pursued new therapeutic platforms in oral 

health, podiatry, and aesthetics. We believe our approach will help us succeed quickly in 

these areas and will lead to greater growth for Valeant in the years to come.

Letter To Shareholders

Dear Shareholder;

Thank  you  for  your  investment  in  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  
International, Inc. We continue to believe that Valeant is a unique 
pharmaceutical company and we are excited that you have taken 
the  step  to  better  understand  our  company.    Valeant’s  primary 
strategy is to leverage our speed, scale, financial strength and  
disciplined approach to business development, coupled with our 
focus on organic growth to pursue substantial growth opportunities 
and generate long-term value for all of our shareholders.

Our strategy and philosophy are both simple and powerful. They 
are  anchored  in  diversified  operating  units  led  by  empowered  
entrepreneurs – who will be rewarded for growing their businesses, 
their cash flows, and building leadership positions in the market-
place. Our dual engines of growth will be superior execution of 
well-thought-through  business  plans  and  continued  new  growth 
opportunities via disciplined acquisitions. We do “more with less” 
than our competitors.

2012 – A Year in Review
We began 2012 with ambitious objectives  to significantly grow 
our company’s top and bottom line as we march towards our overall 
objective  of  being  the  #1  specialty  pharmaceutical  company  in 
the world. For 2012, we aimed to:

•  Continue to grow our base business with tuck-in acquisitions in  
  Latin  America  as  we  target  total  sales  of  greater  than  $500  
  million in 2013

•  Clearly establish Valeant Dermatology as the pre-eminent U.S.  
  Dermatology company

•  Add  products  and  expand  our  presence  in  the  dermatology 
  aesthetics space 

•  Continue to license in and acquire products in Canada to build  
  a leadership presence in our home market

We continue to build on these aspirations and expect to continue 
our success in the months and years to come. 

From a top line perspective, we added over $1 billion in revenue 
in 2012 as compared to 2011, an increase in total revenue of more 
than 40 percent.  This increase is on top of overcoming approxi-
mately $200 million in revenue decline during the year due to the 
genericization and continued erosion of four products – Cesamet® 
in Canada and Cardizem®  CD, Ultram®  ER and Wellbutrin®  XL 
in the U.S.   On the bottom line, we delivered Cash EPS growth 
of 54 percent as compared to 2011, demonstrating once again the 
sustainability of our business model.  Our businesses continued to 
deliver strong organic growth in 2012 and we reported same store 
sales organic growth of approximately 8 percent and pro forma 
organic growth of approximately 10 percent for the year. 

We were also very busy on business development activities as we 
completed over 25 transactions in 2012 and, as in previous years, 
we had a mix of small tuck-in acquisitions, mid-size transactions, as 
well as a more significant acquisition of Medicis Pharmaceutical 
Corporation that closed in December.  

Valeant’s Acquisition of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation
In  December  2012,  Valeant  announced  the  completion  of  its  
acquisition of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation.  Soon after the 
close of the transaction, Valeant’s combined commercial dermatology 
operations were relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona and now operate 
under the name Medicis, a division of Valeant.

The  acquisition  of  Medicis  represents  a  major  step  in Valeant’s 
goal of becoming the leader in dermatology while enhancing its 
presence in aesthetic dermatology. Medicis’ highly complemen-
tary portfolio of leading branded products and promising pipeline 
is  a  solid  strategic  fit  with  Valeant’s  existing  portfolio,  and  we 
look  forward  to  leveraging  Medicis’  well-known  and  respected 
name in dermatology to drive long-term growth.

•  Build our Central and Eastern European business as we target  
  sales of >$1 billion in 2013

•  Fully integrate our Australian business under the iNova banner  
  and deliver both strong organic growth and improved margins

•  Begin to build out our two new emerging market geographies –  
  South East Asia and South Africa

•  Complete discussions with the Food and Drug Administration  
(FDA) regarding a potential New Drug Application submission  
  of IDP-108 (efinaconazole) in 2012, with the goal of being a  
  key contributor to the dermatology franchise in the future

Medicis  has  an  established  track  record  of  success  with  leading 
products  such  as  SOLODYN®,  RESTYLANE®,  ZIANA®,  
and  DYSPORT®.  Additionally,  Medicis  recently  acquired  
ZYCLARA®,  a  product  to  treat  actinic  keratosis,  one  of  the  
fastest growing diagnoses within dermatology. The combination 
of  our  two  highly  complementary  product  portfolios  will  allow 
us to accelerate our efforts to drive sales, establish best-in-class 
commercial and research and development operations, and serve 
the consumers and patients who use our products as well as the 
physicians who recommend, administer, and prescribe them.

I am also pleased that we greatly enhanced our management team 
at Valeant, with the addition of several new executives following a 

8

 
Gathering Momentum

strategic plan review conducted in 2012.  Following this process, 
we  determined  that  it  is  essential  to  preserve  our  decentralized 
model as we aspire to grow from a $3-4 billion revenue company 
to  a  $10-20  billion  company  in  the  foreseeable  future.    Unlike 
most traditional pharmaceutical companies that organize centrally 
by function coupled with regional commercial operations, we created 
the role of Company Group Chairman, each of whom will have 
a set of distinct but disparate set of businesses and functions  
reporting  to  them.  This  new  structure  allows  me  to  focus  on  
helping to troubleshoot problem businesses and to focus on the 
larger business development opportunities around the world.  We 
welcomed Laizer Kornwasser, Ryan Weldon and Jason Hanson to 
our executive team in these new roles, in addition to expanding 
the number of General Managers throughout our operations. 

Research and Development
2012 was also a very strong year in the area of Research and  
Development.  We have continued our unique approach to traditional 
R&D in that we don’t bet purely on science for our future growth. 
We like to buy in-line products that we believe we can grow and 
take the development risk out of the equation. We prefer to access 
our  innovation  through  acquiring  companies  and  products. And  
when  we  do  invest  in  R&D,  it  is  primarily  focused  on  dermatology, 
ophthalmology,  branded  generics,  and  OTC  products,  where 
the  risk-reward  profile  actually  works  from  a  standpoint  of  our  
company’s philosophy. We also seek partners for our significant 
development efforts, thereby reducing our R&D expenditures as 
compared with our peers. 

Under  this  philosophy,  several  new  submissions  were  filed  in 
2012;  IDP-108  (efinaconazole)  in  the  United  States  (U.S.)  and 
Xerese™ in Canada by Valeant, and luliconazole for athletes’ foot 
in the U.S. by the Medicis group.   We were also very productive 
in the branded generics area where we launched over 300 products 
in our Emerging Markets geographies.

Furthermore, we were encouraged over the continued development  
of  our  topical  compound  efinaconazole  for  the  treatment  of  
onychomycosis,  a  nail  fungus  infection  that  affects  one  in  10 
Americans  and  can  ultimately  result  in  nail  destruction  and  
deformity. In Fall 2012, the Journal of the American Academy of 
Dermatology  published  the  positive  results  from  two  Phase  III 
studies Valeant conducted in over 1,600 patients with onychomy-
cosis, with the primary endpoint or goal of complete cure after 52 
weeks. In Study 1, 17.8% of subjects treated with efinaconazole 
were completely cured, as compared to 3.3% of patients treated with 
placebo. In Study 2, 15.2% of subjects treated with efinaconazole 
were completely cured, as compared to 5.5% of placebo. Adverse 
events that were reported were generally considered mild. We are 
hopeful  this  data  will  increase  the  likelihood  of  IDP-108  being 
approved by the FDA in Spring 2013.

Finally,  we  also  launched  several  patented  and  OTC  products  
this  year,  with  Valeant’s  introduction  of  Regederm  in  Brazil,  
Potiga™ in the U.S., through our partner GlaxoSmithKline, Sublinox®  
and  Lodalis  in  Canada,  and  many  OTC  line  extensions,  such  
as  the  CeraVe® family  of  products.  CeraVe  continues  to  be  the  

fastest growing moisturizer in the U.S. and Canada. In addition,  
Medicis launched the Zyclara® Pump in September in the U.S., 
and achieved regulatory approval for Dysport® in Canada and a lip 
indication for Restylane® with lidocaine in the U.S.

U.S. Dermatology and Aesthetics
Valeant’s U.S. dermatology business continues to be a key strength 
and our growth further solidifies our position as a significant player 
in this therapeutic area. Not only does dermatology have what we 
believe is an attractive risk and reward profile, we believe there’s 
room for a focused company like Valeant. Our dermatology products 
help patients who are suffering from actinic keratoses, acne, cold 
sores and psoriasis, to name just a few. 

For those patients who are looking for a reduction in the appearance  
of  scars,  skin-aging  and  apparent  pigmentation,  we  entered  the 
U.S.  aesthetics  market  in  a  big  way  in  2012.  Our  entry  into  the 
aesthetics  market  began  with  our  acquisition  of  Dermik  in  late 
2011  which  brought  the  addition  of  Sculptra®  to  our  product 
portfolio. We  believe  the  U.S.  aesthetic  dynamics  are  attractive 
with  a  $12-billion-dollar-plus  market  that  is  fragmented  among 
several  small  players  and  has  minimal  participation  from  large 
pharmaceutical  companies.  And  with  a  focused  target  list  of  
prescribers,  it  is  a  relationship-oriented  and  industry-friendly  
environment, with a fairly low level of government reimbursement  
for  these  products  and  a  growing  self-pay  component.    Finally,  
innovation  is  the  key  in  these  markets,  predominantly  through 
formulation  improvement,  which  provides  excellent  low-risk 
R&D opportunities for Valeant. 

Oral Health
In 2012, Valeant entered into a new and attractive market segment 
focused on the dental community when we acquired OraPharma, 
a specialty company that develops and commercializes products 
that improve and maintain oral health. OraPharma’s lead product, 
Arestin, is a locally administered antibiotic for the treatment of 
periodontitis that utilizes an advanced controlled-release delivery 
system and is indicated for use in conjunction with scaling and 
root planing for the treatment of adult periodontitis. OraPharma 
currently  has  the  largest  specialized  pharmaceutical  sales  force 
in  the  dental  industry,  and  we  believe  this  segment  has  similar  
characteristics to the other sectors we market to and should offer us 
the  opportunity  to  cross-sell  a  variety  of  our  current  products. We 
also made several small acquisitions for additional products, including 
a teeth whitening product that can be sold through this channel. 

Podiatry
We are excited about our entry into the podiatry market in 2012, 
which has comparable characteristics to the dermatology market.  
Expanding into this area with the acquisition of Pedinol Pharmacal, 
Inc.,  a  company  that  has  over  85  years  of  experience  in  podia-
try and a highly regarded national field sales organization which 
will be a crucial advantage as we prepare for broader expansion 
into this market. We expect Pedinol’s established presence in the  
podiatry market to be a valuable asset for Valeant as we are hopeful 
for FDA approval of our New Drug Applications for both efinaconazole 
(onychomycosis) and luliconazole (athlete’s foot) in 2013. 

9

Neurology and Other
Our  comprehensive  U.S.  portfolio  of  well-established  specialty 
pharmaceuticals,  including  products  such  as  Wellbutrin®  and  
Xenazine®, target neurological diseases such as epilepsy, migraines, 
depression, chronic pain, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease 
and orphan diseases. Our management approach to this portfolio, 
a very lean infrastructure with minimal support in non-field force 
promotion and targeted improvements in formulation, has worked 
well for these smaller specialty-focused legacy brands. Managing 
our  Neurology  and  Other  segment  to  maximize  our  cash  flows 
remains a key priority in 2013 and beyond.

Emerging Markets
Our Emerging Markets segment includes our historical business 
units  in  Latin America,  Central  and  Eastern  Europe  and  newly 
established  growth  platforms  in  South  East  Asia,  South  Africa 
and  Russia  through  several  strategic  transactions  completed  in 
the past eighteen months. We view our entry into these markets 
as exciting new growth platforms and we are eager to expand our 
presence in these areas.

Our  footprint  is  purposefully  international,  yet  not  global.  We  
intentionally do not operate in a number of international markets, 
such as Western Europe, Japan, China and India, which are the 
strategic focus of other pharmaceutical companies. We continue 
to explore and invest in other territories that we believe are high-
growth  opportunities  through  the  successful  application  of  our 
business model. Pursuing these opportunities in the select regions 
that larger pharmaceutical companies are not focusing on is another 
key element of our operating philosophy. 

In  Central  and  Eastern  Europe,  Valeant  generates  revenues  in 
over  20  countries  including  Poland,  Serbia,  Russia,  Hungary, 
and Croatia from branded generic pharmaceutical products, OTC 
products  and  from  partnerships  with  other  research-based  phar-
maceutical companies.

Valeant’s  Latin  American  segment  generates  revenues  from 
branded  generic  pharmaceutical  products  and  OTC  products  in 
Mexico  and  Brazil,  and  exports  out  of  Mexico  to  other  Latin 
American markets. Our branded generic products in Mexico are 
primarily  marketed  in  this  region  to  physicians  and  pharmacies 
through approximately 500 sales professionals under the Valeant, 
Grossman and Tecnofarma brands. 

In Brazil, we manufacture and market branded generic products, 
as well as marketing a line of OTC sports nutrition products and 
other  food  supplements.  Probiotica  Laboratorios  Ltda.,  a  leader 
in  sports  nutrition  and  food  supplements  in  Brazil.  Probiótica 
is highlighted as a Latin American pioneer in the production of 
food supplements focused on the area of sports nutrition, and is a 
sponsor of bodybuilding contests around the world.  Our branded 
generic products in Brazil are primarily marketed to pharmacies 
and wholesalers through approximately 200 sales professionals.

Canada/Australasia
Valeant Canada is a specialty pharmaceutical company and a regional 
subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. Valeant 
Canada manufactures markets and/or distributes pharmaceutical 
products to both primary care and specialist physicians in Canada. 
The  company  focuses  its  efforts  primarily  in  the  areas  of  Pain 
Management, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurology and Dermatology. 
Valeant Canada’s commercial operations are based in Montreal, 
Quebec, and our strong commercial infrastructure has made us a 
logical partner for other companies looking for innovative ways 
to  enter  the  Canadian  market,  without  the  risk  and  expense  of 
building their own operational organization from scratch.

In addition to our strong prescription product portfolio, Valeant 
Canada has  established a  strong presence with  non-prescription 
retail  brands,  including  Dr.  Renaud,  COLD-FX®  and  Swiss 
Herbal. Valeant Canada features an R&D center of excellence for 
consumer  dermatology  in  Laval,  Quebec  and  recently  launched 
Dysport®, a prescription injection for temporary improvement in 
the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows 
(glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age. 

In  Australia,  we  continue  to  build  our  presence  in  the  OTC  
market.     Through  our  acquisition  of  iNova  Pharmaceuticals  in 
2011,  we  have  an  ever-increasing  range  of  known  and  trusted 
brands  in  several  categories  including  consumer  skincare  &  
cosmetics, dermatology and cough and cold market segments. In 
addition, Valeant has a core and growing ethical pharmaceutical 
business in Australia.

Looking Forward
Following the conclusion of our strategic plan review last summer and 
the implementation of our new organizational structure, I believe 
that Valeant is poised to capitalize on the many opportunities that 
lie  ahead.  With  the  traditional  pharmaceutical  industry  facing 
unique challenges, I believe that Valeant, through our diversified 
and decentralized business units, our commitment to our important 
stakeholders and our focus on outperformance, will continue to 
be a driver of change within the industry.  As I look back over the 
past five years, I am pleased with what we have achieved together, 
but will not be satisfied until we join the ranks of the true industry 
leaders.  Our goal is to continue to build on our  past successes  
and  look  forward  to  new  opportunities  emerging  for Valeant  in 
2013 and beyond.

Finally, I would like to personally thank Valeant’s employees and 
shareholders  for  your  continued  support  as  we  work  together  
towards building the most successful pharmaceutical company  
in the world.

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  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  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
(including  the  Medicis  acquisition)  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;  the  impact  of  healthcare  reform;  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’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘potential’’ and 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-K  that  contain  forward-looking  statements  are  qualified  by  these  cautionary  statements.
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:

required  to  integrate  such  companies,  businesses  and  products,  the  difficulties  associated  with  such
integrations, and the achievement of the anticipated  benefits from such  integrations;

(cid:127) 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;

(cid:127) our  substantial  debt  and  debt  service  obligations  and  their  impact  on  our  financial  condition  and  results

of operations;

(cid:127) 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;

Item 1. Business

PART I

Biovail Corporation (‘‘Biovail’’) was formed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 18,
2000, as a result of the amalgamation of TXM Corporation and Biovail Corporation International. Biovail was
continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the ‘‘CBCA’’) effective June 29, 2005. On September 28,
2010  (the  ‘‘Merger  Date’’),  Biovail  completed  the  acquisition  of  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International
(‘‘Valeant’’)  through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  pursuant  to  an  Agreement  and  Plan  of  Merger,  dated  as  of
June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the ‘‘Merger’’). In connection with
the  Merger,  Biovail  was  renamed  ‘‘Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International,  Inc.’’  The  accompanying  financial
statements  reflect  Biovail’s  stand-alone  operations  as  they  existed  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  Merger.  The
results of Valeant’s business have been included in the financial statements only for periods subsequent to the
completion of the Merger.

Unless  the  context  indicates  otherwise,  when  we  refer  to  ‘‘we’’,  ‘‘us’’,  ‘‘our’’  or  the  ‘‘Company’’  in  this
Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  (‘‘Form  10-K’’),  we  are  referring  to  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International,  Inc.
and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Introduction

We  are  a  multinational,  specialty  pharmaceutical  company  that  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  a
broad  range  of  pharmaceutical  products  and  medical  devices.  Our  specialty  pharmaceutical  and
over-the-counter  (‘‘OTC’’)  products  are  marketed  under  brand  names  and  are  sold  in  the  United  States
(‘‘U.S.’’),  Canada,  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  where  we  focus  most  of  our  efforts  on  products  in  the
dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. We also have branded generic, branded, and OTC operations in
Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and South Africa.

Business  Strategy

Our  strategy  is  to  focus  the  business  on  core  geographies  and  therapeutic  classes,  manage  pipeline  assets
either internally or through strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies and deploy cash with an
appropriate mix of selective acquisitions, debt repurchases and repayments, and share buybacks. We believe this
strategy  will  allow  us  to  improve  both  the  growth  rate  and  profitability  of  the  Company  and  to  enhance
shareholder value.

Our low risk research and development model is one key element to this business strategy. It will allow us to
progress certain development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and
development expense. This will be achieved in  four ways:

(cid:127) focusing  our  efforts  on  niche  therapeutic  areas  such  as  dermatology,  podiatry,  ophthalmology  and

life-cycle management programs for currently marketed products;

(cid:127) acquiring  dossiers  and  registrations  for  branded  generic  products,  which  require  limited  manufacturing

start-up  and development activities;

(cid:127) selling  internal  development  capabilities  to  third  parties,  thereby  allowing  higher  utilization  and

infrastructure cost absorption; and

(cid:127) structuring partnerships and collaborations so  that our  partners share development costs.

Focused Diversification across Geographies, Therapeutic  Areas and Products with Limited Patent Exposure

We  are  diverse  not  only  in  our  sources  of  revenue  from  our  broad  drug  portfolio,  but  also  among  the
therapeutic  classes  and  geographic  segments  we  serve.  We  focus  on  those  businesses  that  we  view  to  have  the
potential for strong operating margins and solid growth, while  providing natural balance across geographies.

1

In  addition,  we  have  an  established  portfolio  of  specialty  pharmaceutical,  branded  generic  and  OTC
products  with  a  focus  in  the  dermatology  therapeutic  areas.  We  believe  dermatology  is  particularly  attractive
given that many of the products are:

(cid:127) generally  relatively  small  on  an  individual  basis  (with  the  exception  of  Solodyn(cid:4)  and  Zovirax(cid:4)),  and

therefore not the focus of larger pharmaceutical companies;

(cid:127) often topical treatments and, therefore, subject to less generic competition. Topical treatments generally
require full clinical trials and not just bioequivalence tests before generics can enter the  market; and

(cid:127) marked by a higher self-pay component than other therapeutic areas, so that they are not as dependent

on increasing reimbursement pressures.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

We  have  completed  several  transactions  to  expand  our  product  portfolio  including,  among  others,  the
following  acquisitions  of  businesses  and  product  rights  in  2012:  Medicis  Pharmaceutical  Corporation
(‘‘Medicis’’),  OraPharma  Topco  Holdings,  Inc.  (‘‘OraPharma’’),  certain  assets  from  Johnson  &  Johnson
Consumer  Companies,  Inc.  (‘‘J&J  North  America’’  and  ‘‘J&J  ROW’’),  certain  assets  from  QLT  Inc.  and  QLT
Ophthalmics,  Inc.  (collectively  ‘‘QLT’’),  certain  assets  from  University  Medical  Pharmaceuticals  Corp.
(‘‘University  Medical’’),  certain  assets  from  Atlantis  Pharma  (‘‘Atlantis’’),  certain  assets  from  Gerot  Lannach,
and  Probiotica  Laboratorios  Ltda.  (‘‘Probiotica’’).  In  addition,  in  February  2013,  we  acquired  Natur  Produkt
International, JSC (‘‘Natur Produkt’’),  as well as  certain assets from Eisai Inc. (‘‘Eisai’’).

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Dermik  in  December  2011,  we  were  required  by  the  Federal  Trade
Commission (‘‘FTC’’) to divest 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel, a generic version of BenzaClin(cid:4),
and 5% fluorouracil cream, an authorized generic of Efudex(cid:4). We completed the divestiture of these products in
February 2012.

For more information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions, see note 3, note 4 and note 27 of notes to

consolidated financial statements in Item 15  of this  Form 10-K.

Segment Information

As  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of  iNova  in  December  2011,  we  began  operating  in  five  new  territories:
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa, with a distribution business in Thailand, Taiwan
and  some  sub-Saharan  Africa  markets.  iNova  also  distributes  through  partners  in  China,  Korea  and  Japan.
Consequently, our Chief Executive Officer (‘‘CEO’’), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘‘CODM’’),
began to manage the business differently, which necessitated a realignment of the segment structure, effective in
the first quarter of 2012. Pursuant to this change, we now have four reportable segments: (i) U.S. Dermatology,
(ii)  U.S.  Neurology  and  Other,  (iii)  Canada  and  Australia  and  (iv)  Emerging  Markets.  Accordingly,  the
Company  has  restated  prior  period  segment  information  to  conform  to  the  current  period  presentation.
Comparative  segment  information  for  2012,  2011  and  2010  is  presented  in  note  26  of  notes  to  consolidated
financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Our  current  product  portfolio  comprises  approximately  1,100  products,  with  approximately  7,300  stock
keeping  units  (‘‘SKUs’’).  In  2012,  2011  and  2010,  global  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4)  represented  7%,  9%  and  21%,
respectively,  and  Zovirax(cid:4)  represented  7%,  8%  and  14%,  respectively,  of  our  consolidated  revenues.  We
anticipate  a  continuing  decline  in  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4)  product  sales  due  to  generic  erosion.  However,  the  rate  of
decline is expected to decrease in the future, and this brand is expected to represent a declining percentage of
total  revenues  primarily  due  to  anticipated  growth  in  other  parts  of  our  business  and  recent  acquisitions.  We
anticipate that Zovirax(cid:4) may also continue to decline as a percentage of consolidated revenues in the future as a
result  of  revenue  growth  from  acquisitions.  In  addition,  in  the  U.S.,  Zovirax(cid:4)  does  not  currently  have  generic

U.S. Dermatology

The U.S. Dermatology segment generates revenues from pharmaceutical and OTC products, and alliance
and contract service revenues, in the areas of dermatology and topical medication, aesthetics (including medical
devices),  dentistry,  ophthalmology  and  podiatry.  These  pharmaceutical  products  are  marketed  and  sold
primarily through wholesalers and to  a lesser extent through  retail and direct-to-physician channels.

commercialize  modern,  high  value-added  branded  generics  and  OTC  products  which  represent  a  quality,
affordable alternative to brand name counterparts. Our European products are sold largely under the Valeant
umbrella  brand,  although  in  those  countries  where  the  brand  names  of  legacy  companies  still  resonate  with
healthcare  professionals  and  consumers,  we  have  chosen  for  certain  products  to  retain  on  our  packaging  the
logos  of  some  of  the  historical  companies  that  make  up  Valeant  Europe — ICN  Polfa  (Poland),  PharmaSwiss

Planned  Change in Segment Structure

With  the  acquisition  of  Medicis  in  December  2012,  we  will  manage  our  business  differently  beginning  in
2013.  As  a  result,  effective  in  2013,  we  will  have  two  operating  segments:  Developed  Markets  and  Emerging
Markets.  Developed  Markets  will  include  our  U.S.  promoted  and  neurology/other  businesses,  as  well  as  our
Canada  and  Australia  businesses.  Emerging  Markets  will  include  our  Latin  America,  Central  and  Eastern
Europe, and Southeast Asia/South Africa businesses.

For detailed information regarding the revenues, operating profits and identifiable assets attributable to our

segments, see note 26 of notes to consolidated financial  statements in Item 15  of  this  Form 10-K.

Collaboration Agreements

See  note  5  of  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  15  of  this  Form  10-K  for  detailed
information  regarding  our  License  and  Collaboration  Agreement  with  GSK,  joint  ventures  with  Meda  AB,
collaboration  and  option  agreements  with  Bristol-Myers  Squibb  Company  and  collaboration  agreements
assumed in connection with the Medicis acquisition.

Research and Development

Our research and development organization focuses on the development of products through clinical trials.
We  currently  have  (or  had  during  2012)  a  number  of  compounds  in  clinical  development  including:
ezogabine/retigabine, Luliconazole, Metronidazole 1.3%, IDP-108, IDP-118 and  certain  life-cycle management
projects. Our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were
$79.1 million, $65.7 million and $68.3  million, respectively,  excluding impairment charges.

As of December 31, 2012, approximately 400 employees (including regulatory affairs and quality assurance

employees) were involved in our research  and  development efforts.

For  more  information  regarding  our  products  in  clinical  development,  see  Item  7  titled  ‘‘Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Products in Development’’ of this
Form 10-K.

Trademarks, Patents and Proprietary  Rights

Trademarks

We believe that trademark protection is an important part of establishing product and brand recognition.
We  own  a  number  of  registered  trademarks  and  trademark  applications.  U.S.  federal  registrations  for
trademarks remain in force for 10 years and may be renewed every 10 years after issuance, provided the mark is
still being used in commerce.

Data and Patent Exclusivity

We  rely  on  a  combination  of  regulatory  and  patent  rights  to  protect  the  value  of  our  investment  in  the

development of our products.

A patent is the grant of a property right which allows its holder to exclude others from, among other things,
selling the subject invention in, or importing such invention into, the jurisdiction that granted the patent. In the
U.S., Canada and the European Union, patents expire 20 years from the date of application. We have obtained,
acquired  or  in-licensed  a  number  of  patents  and  patent  applications  covering  key  aspects  of  our  principal
products. However, we do not consider any single patent material  to  our business  as a whole.

In the U.S., the Hatch-Waxman Act provides nonpatent regulatory exclusivity for five years from the date of
the first FDA approval of a new drug compound in a New Drug Application (‘‘NDA’’). The FDA is prohibited
during  those  five  years  from  approving  a  generic,  or  ANDA,  that  references  the  NDA.  Protection  under  the
Hatch-Waxman  Act  will  not  prevent  the  filing  or  approval  of  another  full  NDA.  However,  the  NDA  applicant
would be required to conduct its own pre-clinical, adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to independently
demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

8

A  similar  data  exclusivity  scheme  exists  in  the  European  Union,  whereby  only  the  pioneer  drug  company
can use data obtained at the pioneer’s expense for up to eight years from the date of the first approval of a drug
by  the  European  Medicines  Agency  (‘‘EMA’’)  and  no  generic  drug  can  be  marketed  for  ten  years  from  the
approval  of  the  innovator  product.  Under  both  the  U.S.  and  the  European  Union  data  exclusivity  programs,
products without patent protection can be marketed by others so long as they repeat the clinical trials necessary
to show safety and efficacy. Canada employs  a similar regulatory regime.

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a drug intended to
treat  a  disease  or  condition  that  affects  populations  of  fewer  than  200,000  individuals  in  the  U.S.  or  a  disease
whose  incidence  rates  number  more  than  200,000  where  the  sponsor  establishes  that  it  does  not  realistically
anticipate that its product sales will be sufficient to recover its costs. The sponsor that obtains the first marketing
approval for a designated orphan drug for a given rare disease is eligible to receive marketing exclusivity for use
of that drug for the orphan indication for  a period  of seven years.

Proprietary Know-How

We also rely upon unpatented proprietary know-how and technological innovation in the development and

manufacture of many of our principal products.

Government Regulations

Government authorities in the U.S., at the federal, state and local level, in Canada and in other countries
extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling,
post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, promotion, storage, advertising, distribution, marketing and
export  and  import  of  pharmaceutical  products  and  medical  devices.  The  process  of  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  and  the  subsequent  compliance  with  applicable  federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  statutes  and
regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. FDA approval must be obtained
in  the  U.S.,  approval  of  Health  Canada  must  be  obtained  in  Canada,  EMA  approval  must  be  obtained  for
countries  that  are  part  of  the  European  Union  and  approval  must  be  obtained  from  comparable  agencies  in
other countries prior to marketing or manufacturing new pharmaceutical products or medical devices for use by
humans.  Regulation  by  other  federal  agencies,  such  as  the  Drug  Enforcement  Administration  (‘‘DEA’’),  and
state and local authorities in the United States, and by comparable agencies in certain foreign countries, is also
required.  The  FTC,  the  FDA  and  state  and  local  authorities  regulate  the  advertising  of  medical  devices,
prescription  drugs,  over-the-counter  drugs  and  cosmetics.  The  Federal  Food,  Drug  and  Cosmetic  Act,  as
amended  (‘‘FDCA’’)  and  the  regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  and  other  federal  and  state  statutes  and
regulations, govern, among other things, the testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record
keeping,  approval,  sale,  distribution,  advertising  and  promotion  of  our  products.  The  FDA  requires  a  Boxed
Warning  (sometimes  referred  to  as  a  ‘‘Black  Box’’  Warning)  for  products  that  have  shown  a  significant  risk  of
severe or life-threatening adverse events and similar warnings are also required to be displayed on the product in
certain other jurisdictions.

Manufacturers  of  drug  products  and  medical  devices  are  required  to  comply  with  manufacturing
regulations,  including  current  good  manufacturing  regulations  enforced  by  the  FDA  and  Health  Canada  and
similar regulations enforced by regulatory agencies outside the U.S. and Canada. In addition, we are subject to
price control restrictions on our pharmaceutical products in  many  countries in  which we operate.

We  are  also  subject  to  extensive  U.S.  federal  and  state  health  care  marketing  and  fraud  and  abuse
regulations,  such  as  the  federal  False  Claims  Act,  Federal  and  Provincial  marketing  regulation  in  Canada  and
similar  regulations  in  foreign  countries  in  which  we  may  conduct  our  business.  The  federal  False  Claims  Act
imposes  civil  and  criminal  liability  on  individuals  or  entities  who  submit  (or  cause  the  submission  of)  false  or
fraudulent claims for payment to the government. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these
laws,  regulations,  rules  or  policies  or  any  other  law  or  governmental  regulation,  or  if  interpretations  of  the
foregoing change, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from the Medicare
and Medicaid programs and the curtailment or restructuring  of  our operations.

Environmental Regulation

We  are  subject  to  national,  state  and  local  environmental  laws  and  regulations,  including  those  governing
the  handling  and  disposal  of  hazardous  wastes,  wastewater,  solid  waste  and  other  environmental  matters.  Our
development and manufacturing activities involve the  controlled  use of hazardous materials.

Marketing and Customers

Our four major geographic markets by country are: the U.S., Canada, Poland  and Australia.

The  following  table  identifies  external  customers  that  accounted  for  10%  or  more  of  our  total  revenue

during the year ended December 31, 2012:

No other customer generated over 10% of our  total  revenues.

We  currently  promote  our  pharmaceutical  products  to  physicians,  hospitals,  pharmacies  and  wholesalers
through our own sales force and sell through wholesalers. In some limited markets, we additionally sell directly
to physicians, hospitals and large drug store chains and we sell through distributors in countries where we do not
have  our  own  sales  staff.  As  part  of  our  marketing  program  for  pharmaceuticals,  we  use  direct  mailings,
advertise  in  trade  and  medical  periodicals,  exhibit  products  at  medical  conventions  and  sponsor  medical
education symposia.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for Products and  Products in Development

Our  competitors  include  specialty  and  large  pharmaceutical  companies,  biotechnology  companies,  OTC
companies  and  generic  manufacturers,  both  in  the  U.S.,  Canada  and  abroad.  The  dermatology  competitive
landscape is highly fragmented, with a large number of mid-size and smaller companies competing in both the
prescription  sector  and  the  OTC  and  cosmeceutical  sectors.  Our  competitors  are  pursuing  the  development
and/or acquisition of pharmaceuticals and OTC products that target the same diseases and conditions that we
are  targeting  in  dermatology,  neurology  and  other  therapeutic  areas.  Academic  and  other  research  and
development  institutions  may  also  develop  products  or  technologies  that  compete  with  our  products,  which
technologies and products may be acquired or  licensed by our competitors.

We  sell  a  broad  range  of  products,  and  competitive  factors  vary  by  product  line  and  geographic  area  in

which  the products are sold.

Generic Competition

We  face  increased  competition  from  manufacturers  of  generic  pharmaceutical  products  when  patents
covering certain of our currently marketed products expire or are successfully challenged. Generic versions are
generally significantly less expensive than branded versions, and, where available, may be required in preference
to the branded version under third-party reimbursement programs, or substituted by pharmacies. If competitors
introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be
subject  to  progressive  price  reductions  or  decreased  volume  of  sales,  or  both.  Most  new  products  that  we
introduce  must  compete  with  other  products  already  on  the  market  or  products  that  are  later  developed  by
competitors.  Manufacturers  of  generic  pharmaceuticals  typically  invest  far  less  in  research  and  development
than  research-based  pharmaceutical  companies  and  therefore  can  price  their  products  significantly  lower  than
branded  products.  Accordingly,  when  a  branded  product  loses  its  market  exclusivity,  it  normally  faces  intense
price  competition  from  generic  forms  of  the  product.  To  successfully  compete  for  business  with  managed  care

10

and pharmacy benefits management organizations, we must often demonstrate that our products offer not only
medical benefits but also cost advantages  as compared  with other forms of care.

A  number  of  our  products  already  face  generic  competition,  including  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4),  Ultram(cid:4)  ER  and
Diastat(cid:4), all of which had generic competitors during 2012. In March 2012, a generic version of Cesamet(cid:4) was
introduced by a competitor in Canada.

With  the  expiration  of  the  last  patent  covering  the  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD  360mg  SKU,  we  anticipate  increased
generic  competition  for  this  dosage  strength  of  this  product,  which  currently  only  has  one  approved  generic
competitor.

In  the  U.S.,  Zovirax(cid:4)  does  not  currently  have  generic  competition,  but  is  not  protected  by  patent  or
regulatory exclusivity. Given the FDA’s draft guidance on acyclovir ointment, which would permit the approval
by the FDA of an ANDA for acyclovir ointment referencing Zovirax(cid:4) ointment on the basis of in vitro studies
only,  and  the  FDA’s  denial  of  our  Citizen’s  Petition  with  respect  thereto,  we  anticipate  that  we  may  face
increased generic competition for this  product.

In addition, for a number of our products, we have commenced infringement proceedings against potential
generic competitors in the U.S. and Canada. If we are not successful in these proceedings, we may face increased
generic competition for these products. See note 24 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of
this  Form 10-K for additional details  regarding such potential infringement proceedings.

Manufacturing

We  currently  operate  16  manufacturing  plants  worldwide.  All  of  our  manufacturing  facilities  that  require

certification from the FDA, Health Canada or foreign agencies have  obtained  such approval.

We also subcontract the manufacturing of certain of our products, including products manufactured under
the  rights  acquired  from  other  pharmaceutical  companies.  Generally,  acquired  products  continue  to  be
produced for a specific period of time by the selling company. During that time, we integrate the products into
our  own manufacturing facilities or initiate  toll manufacturing agreements with third  parties.

Products representing the majority of our product sales are produced by third party manufacturers under

toll manufacturing arrangements.

In some cases, the principal raw materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredient, used by us (or our
third party manufacturers) for our various products are purchased in the open market or are otherwise available
from  several  sources.  However,  some  of  the  active  pharmaceutical  ingredient  and  other  raw  materials  are
currently available from a single source and others may in the future become available from only one source. In
addition, in some cases, only a single source of such active pharmaceutical ingredient is identified in filings with
regulatory  agencies,  including  the  FDA,  and  cannot  be  changed  without  prior  regulatory  approval.  Any
disruption in the supply of any such active pharmaceutical ingredient or other raw material or an increase in the
cost  of  such  material  could  adversely  impact  our  ability  to  manufacture  such  products,  the  ability  of  our  third
party  manufacturers  to  supply  us  with  such  products,  or  our  profitability.  We  attempt  to  manage  the  risks
associated with reliance on single sources of active pharmaceutical ingredient or other raw materials by carrying
additional inventories or, where possible, developing second sources  of supply.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 7,000 employees. These employees included approximately
3,300  in  production,  2,700  in  sales  and  marketing,  400  in  research  and  development  and  600  in  general  and
administrative positions. Collective bargaining exists for some employees in a number of markets. We consider
our relations with our employees to be good and have not experienced any work stoppages, slowdowns or other
serious labor problems that have materially impeded  our  business operations.

Product  Liability Insurance

We  have  product  liability  insurance  to  cover  damages  resulting  from  the  use  of  our  products.  We  have  in

place clinical trial insurance in the major  markets where  we  conduct clinical trials.

11

Seasonality of Business

Historically,  revenues  from  our  business  tend  to  be  weighted  slightly  toward  the  second  half  of  the  year.
This  trend  is  driven  by  the  third  quarter  ‘‘back  to  school’’  period  which  impacts  demand  for  certain  of  our
dermatology products. Further, sales in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on the purchasing patterns of
our  customer  base.  However,  as  we  continue  our  strategy  of  selective  acquisitions  to  expand  our  product
portfolio, there are no assurances that  these historical trends will continue in the future.

Geographic Areas

A significant portion of our revenues is generated from operations or otherwise earned outside the U.S. and
Canada. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price
and  currency  exchange  controls,  fluctuations  in  the  relative  values  of  currencies,  political  and  economic
instability  and  restrictive  governmental  actions  including  possible  nationalization  or  expropriation.  Changes  in
the relative values of currencies may materially affect our results of operations. For a discussion of these risks,
see Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Form 10-K.

See  note  26  of  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  15  of  this  Form  10-K  for  detailed

information regarding revenues by geographic  area.

A  material  portion  of  our  revenue  and  income  is  earned  in  Bermuda,  Ireland,  Luxembourg  and

Switzerland, which have low tax rates. See Item 1A., Risk Factors in  this Form 10-K relating to tax  rates.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our  business,  operations  and  financial  condition  are  subject  to  various  risks  and  uncertainties.  You  should
carefully  consider  the  risks  and  uncertainties  described  below,  together  with  all  of  the  other  information  in  this
Form  10-K,  including  those  risks  set  forth  under  the  heading  entitled  ‘‘Forward-Looking  Statements’’,  and  in  other
documents  that  we  file  with  the  SEC  and  the  CSA,  before  making  any  investment  decision  with  respect  to  our
securities.  If  any  of  the  risks  or  uncertainties  actually  occur  or  develop,  our  business,  financial  condition,  results  of
operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the market value of our securities
could decline, and you could lose all or  part of your investment in  our securities.

Competitive Risks

We operate in an extremely competitive industry. If competitors develop or acquire more effective or less costly drugs for
our target indications, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations
and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Many of our competitors, particularly large pharmaceutical companies, have substantially greater financial,
technical and human resources than we do. Many of our competitors spend significantly more on research and
development  related  activities  than  we  do.  Others  may  succeed  in  developing  or  acquiring  products  that  are
more  effective  than  those  currently  marketed  or  proposed  for  development  by  us.  In  addition,  academic
institutions,  government  agencies  and  other  public  and  private  organizations  conducting  research  may  seek
patent  protection  with  respect  to  potentially  competitive  products.  They  may  also  establish  exclusive
collaborative or licensing relationships with our competitors.

We have faced generic competition in the past and expect to face additional generic competition in the future. Generic
competition  of  our  products  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations and could cause the market  value  of  our common stock  to  decline.

Upon  the  expiration  or  loss  of  patent  protection  for  our  products,  or  upon  the  ‘‘at-risk’’  launch  (despite
pending patent infringement litigation against the generic product) by a generic competitor of a generic version
of our products, we can lose a significant portion of sales of that product in a very short period, which could have
a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  and  could  cause  the
market value of our common stock to  decline.

Products representing a significant amount of our revenue are not protected by patent or data exclusivity rights or are
nearing  the end of their exclusivity period.

A significant number of the products we sell have no meaningful exclusivity protection via patent or data
exclusivity rights or are protected by patents that will be expiring in the near future. These products represent a
significant  amount  of  our  revenues.  Without  exclusivity  protection,  competitors  face  fewer  barriers  in
introducing competing products. The introduction of competing products could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common
stock to decline.

Acquisition-related Risks

We have grown at a very rapid pace. Our inability to properly manage or support this growth could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock
to decline.

We  have  grown  very  rapidly  over  the  past  few  years  as  a  result  of  our  acquisitions.  This  growth  has  put
significant  demands  on  our  processes,  systems  and  people.  We  have  made  and  expect  to  make  further
investments in additional personnel, systems and internal control processes to help manage our growth. If we are
unable to successfully manage and support our rapid growth and the challenges and difficulties associated with
managing a larger, more complex business, this could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.

13

We may  be unable to identify, acquire, close  or integrate acquisition  targets successfully.

Part  of  our  business  strategy  includes  acquiring  and  integrating  complementary  businesses,  products,
technologies or other assets, and forming strategic alliances, joint ventures and other business combinations, to
help  drive  future  growth.  We  may  also  in-license  new  products  or  compounds.  Acquisitions  or  similar
arrangements may be complex, time consuming and expensive. We may not consummate some negotiations for
acquisitions  or  other  arrangements,  which  could  result  in  significant  diversion  of  management  and  other
employee  time,  as  well  as  substantial  out-of-pocket  costs.  In  addition,  there  are  a  number  of  risks  and
uncertainties relating to our closing transactions. If such transactions are not completed for any reason, we will
be  subject  to  several  risks,  including  the  following:  (i)  the  market  price  of  our  common  shares  may  reflect  a
market assumption that such transactions will occur, and a failure to complete such transactions could result in a
negative perception by the market of us generally and a decline in the market price of our common shares; and
(ii)  many  costs  relating  to  the  such  transactions  may  be  payable  by  us  whether  or  not  such  transactions
are completed.

If an acquisition is consummated (such as our recent acquisition of Medicis), the integration of the acquired
business,  product  or  other  assets  into  our  company  may  also  be  complex  and  time-consuming  and,  if  such
businesses,  products  and  assets  are  not  successfully  integrated,  we  may  not  achieve  the  anticipated  benefits,
cost-savings  or  growth  opportunities.  Potential  difficulties  that  may  be  encountered  in  the  integration  process
include the following:

(cid:127) integrating personnel, operations and systems, while maintaining focus on selling and promoting existing

and newly-acquired products;

(cid:127) coordinating geographically dispersed  organizations;

(cid:127) distracting management and employees from operations;

(cid:127) retaining existing customers and attracting new  customers; and

(cid:127) managing inefficiencies associated with integrating the  operations of the Company.

Furthermore, these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further
our  business  strategy  as  anticipated,  expose  us  to  increased  competition  or  challenges  with  respect  to  our
products  or  geographic  markets,  and  expose  us  to  additional  liabilities  associated  with  an  acquired  business,
product, technology or other asset or arrangement. Any one of these challenges or risks could impair our ability
to realize any benefit from our acquisition  or arrangement after  we  have expended resources  on them.

Tax-related Risks

Our effective tax rates may increase.

We  have  operations  in  various  countries  that  have  differing  tax  laws  and  rates.  Our  tax  reporting  is
supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties
between  the  various  countries  in  which  we  operate.  Our  income  tax  reporting  will  be,  and  the  historic  tax
reporting of each of Valeant and Biovail is, subject to audit by domestic and foreign authorities. Our effective tax
rate  may  change  from  year  to  year  based  on  changes  in  the  mix  of  activities  and  income  earned  among  the
different jurisdictions in which we operate; changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions; changes in the tax treaties
between  various  countries  in  which  we  operate;  changes  in  our  eligibility  for  benefits  under  those  tax  treaties;
and  changes  in  the  estimated  values  of  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities.  Such  changes  could  result  in  a
substantial increase in the effective tax rate  on all or  a portion of our income.

Our provision for income taxes is based on certain estimates and assumptions made by management. Our
consolidated  income  tax  rate  is  affected  by  the  amount  of  net  income  earned  in  our  various  operating
jurisdictions,  the  availability  of  benefits  under  tax  treaties,  and  the  rates  of  taxes  payable  in  respect  of  that
income.  We  enter  into  many  transactions  and  arrangements  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business  in  respect  of
which  the  tax  treatment  is  not  entirely  certain.  We  therefore  make  estimates  and  judgments  based  on  our
knowledge and understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and
tax treaties to our business, in determining our consolidated tax provision. For example, certain countries could

14

seek to tax a greater share of income than will be provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation
authorities may differ from the estimates and assumptions that we may use in determining our consolidated tax
provisions and accruals. This could result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated income tax provision,
financial condition and the net income  for the period in  which such  determinations  are made.

Our deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowances are affected by events
and  transactions  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  acquisitions  of  assets  and  businesses,  and
non-recurring  items.  The  assessment  of  the  appropriate  amount  of  a  valuation  allowance  against  the  deferred
tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including estimates of the realization of deferred income tax assets,
which realization will be primarily based on forecasts of future taxable income. Significant judgment is applied to
determine  the  appropriate  amount  of  valuation  allowance  to  record.  Changes  in  the  amount  of  any  valuation
allowance required could materially increase or decrease  our provision for income taxes  in a given  period.

Debt-related Risks

We have incurred significant indebtedness, which indebtedness may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and
limit our ability to implement elements of  our growth strategy.

We  have  incurred  significant  indebtedness,  primarily  in  connection  with  our  acquisitions  (including  our
acquisition of Medicis). We may also incur additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet
future  financing  needs  which,  subject  to  certain  restrictions  under  our  indebtedness,  would  increase  our  total
debt. This indebtedness may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and limit our ability to implement
elements of our growth strategy, including with respect to:

(cid:127) limitations on our ability to obtain additional debt financing on favorable  terms or at all;

(cid:127) instances in which we are unable to meet the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements or to
generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, which circumstances would have the potential
of resulting in the acceleration of the  maturity of some or all of  our outstanding indebtedness;

(cid:127) the allocation of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thus reducing

the amount of our cash flow available  for  other  purposes;

(cid:127) requiring us to issue debt or equity securities or to sell some of our core assets, possibly on unfavorable

terms, to meet payment obligations;

(cid:127) compromising our flexibility to plan for, or react to, competitive  challenges in  our business;

(cid:127) the possibility that we are put at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that do not have as
much debt as us, and competitors that may be in a more favorable position to access additional capital
resources; and

(cid:127) limitations on our ability to execute  business development  activities to support  our  strategies.

In January 2012, Moody’s Investor Services (‘‘Moody’s’’) downgraded our senior secured debt rating from
Baa3  to  Ba1.  At  the  same  time,  Moody’s  reaffirmed  our  Corporate  Family  rating  (Ba3)  and  our  senior
unsecured debt rating (B1). On September 5, 2012, following the announcement of our planned acquisition of
Medicis, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed our Corporate Family rating (BB) and our senior unsecured debt rating
(BB(cid:6)).  On  September  13,  2012,  Moody’s  reaffirmed  our  Corporate  Family  rating  (Ba3)  and  our  senior
unsecured debt rating (B1). Increased debt levels could result in further ratings pressure. A further downgrade
would increase our cost of borrowing  and may negatively  affect our  ability  to  raise additional  debt  capital.

To service our debt, we will be required to generate a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on
many factors beyond our control, and any failure to meet our debt service obligations could harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

We  have  a  significant  amount  of  indebtedness.  Our  ability  to  satisfy  our  debt  obligations  will  depend
principally  upon  our  future  operating  performance.  As  a  result,  prevailing  economic  conditions  and  financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make payments on
our  debt.  If  we  do  not  generate  sufficient  cash  flow  to  satisfy  our  debt  service  obligations,  we  may  have  to

15

undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or
delaying  capital  investments  or  seeking  to  raise  additional  capital.  Our  ability  to  restructure  or  refinance  our
debt will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt
could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further
restrict  our  business  operations.  Our  inability  to  generate  sufficient  cash  flow  to  satisfy  our  debt  service
obligations  or  to  refinance  our  obligations  on  commercially  reasonable  terms,  would  have  an  adverse  effect,
which  could be material, on our business,  financial position,  results of operations and cash  flows.

Repayment of our indebtedness is dependent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their
ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Our subsidiaries may not be
able  to,  or  may  not  be  permitted  to,  make  distributions  to  enable  us  to  make  payments  in  respect  of  our
indebtedness.  Each  subsidiary  is  a  distinct  legal  entity  and,  under  certain  circumstances,  legal  and  contractual
restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries include
non-U.S. subsidiaries that may be prohibited by law or other regulations from distributing funds to us and/or we
may  be  subject  to  payment  of  repatriation  taxes  and  withholdings.  In  the  event  that  we  do  not  receive
distributions  from  our  subsidiaries  or  receive  cash  via  cash  repatriation  strategies  for  services  rendered  and
intellectual property, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness.

We are exposed to risks related to interest  rates.

Our  Credit  Facility  bears  interest  based  on  U.S.  dollar  London  Interbank  Offering  Rates,  or  U.S.  Prime
Rate, or Federal Funds effective rate. Thus, a change in the short-term interest rate environment could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market
value of our common stock to decline. As of December 31, 2012, we do not have any outstanding interest rate
swap contracts.

Risks related to the International Scope  of our Business

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to risks arising from the international scope of
our operations.

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the U.S. and Canada and, in light of our growth
strategy, we anticipate continuing to expand our operations into new countries, including emerging markets. We
sell our pharmaceutical products in many countries around the world. All of our foreign operations are subject
to risks inherent in conducting business  abroad, including, among other things:

(cid:127) difficulties in coordinating and managing foreign operations, including ensuring that foreign operations
comply with foreign laws as well as U.S. laws applicable to U.S. companies with foreign operations, such
as export laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA;

(cid:127) price and currency exchange controls;

(cid:127) credit market uncertainty;

(cid:127) political and economic instability;

(cid:127) compliance with multiple regulatory regimes;

(cid:127) differing degrees of protection for intellectual property;

(cid:127) unexpected  changes  in  foreign  regulatory  requirements,  including  quality  standards  and  other

certification requirements;

(cid:127) new export license requirements;

(cid:127) adverse changes in tariff and trade protection measures;

(cid:127) differing labor regulations;

(cid:127) potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;

(cid:127) restrictive governmental actions;

16

(cid:127) possible nationalization or expropriation;

(cid:127) restrictions on the repatriation of funds;

(cid:127) difficulties with licensees, contract counterparties, or  other commercial partners; and

(cid:127) differing local product preferences and product requirements.

Any  of  these  factors,  or  any  other  international  factors,  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our
business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock
to decline.

Due  to  the  large  portion  of  our  business  conducted  in  currency  other  than  U.S.  dollars,  we  have  significant  foreign
currency risk.

We  face  foreign  currency  exposure  on  the  translation  into  U.S.  dollars  of  the  financial  results  of  our
operations  in  Poland  and  other  Eastern  European  countries,  Canada,  Australia,  Latin  America  and  Southeast
Asia. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same currency revenue in relation to same
currency expenses. As a result, both favorable and unfavorable foreign currency impacts to our foreign currency-
denominated operating expenses are mitigated to a certain extent by the natural, opposite impact on our foreign
currency-denominated revenue. In addition, the repurchase of principal under our U.S. dollar denominated debt
may  result  in  foreign  exchange  gains  or  losses  for  Canadian  income  tax  purposes.  One  half  of  any  foreign
exchange gains or losses will be included in our Canadian taxable income. Any foreign exchange gain will result
in  a  corresponding  reduction  in  our  available  Canadian  Non-Capital  Losses,  Scientific  Research  and
Experimental Development Pool, and/or Investment Tax  Credit carryforward balances.

The  general  business  and  economic  conditions  in  the  U.S.,  Canada,  Central  and  Eastern  Europe,  Australia,  Latin
America and other countries in which we conduct business could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and
capital resources, revenues and operating results, which could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We  may  be  impacted  by  general  economic  conditions  and  factors  over  which  we  have  no  control,  such  as
changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency rates, lack of liquidity in certain markets and volatility in
capital  markets.  Similarly,  adverse  economic  conditions  impacting  our  customers  or  uncertainty  about  global
economic  conditions  could  cause  purchases  of  our  products  to  decline,  which  would  adversely  affect  our
revenues  and  operating  results.  Moreover,  our  projected  revenues  and  operating  results  are  based  on
assumptions  concerning  certain  levels  of  customer  spending.  Any  failure  to  attain  our  projected  revenues  and
operating results as a result of adverse economic or market conditions could have a material adverse effect on
our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  and  could  cause  the  market  value  of  our  common
stock to decline.

Employment-related Risks

We must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees, and failure to do so could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value
of our common stock to decline.

We  must  continue  to  retain,  motivate  and  recruit  executives,  including  our  Chief  Executive  Officer,  J.
Michael  Pearson,  and  other  key  employees.  A  failure  by  us  to  retain  and  motivate  executives  and  other  key
employees could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations
and could cause the market value of  our common  stock  to  decline.

Risks related to Legal Proceedings

We  may  become  involved  in  infringement  actions  which  are  uncertain,  costly  and  time-consuming  and  could  have  a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of
our common stock to decline.

The  pharmaceutical  industry  historically  has  generated  substantial  litigation  concerning  the  manufacture,
use  and  sale  of  products  and  we  expect  this  litigation  activity  to  continue.  As  a  result,  we  expect  that  patents
related to our products will be routinely challenged, and our patents may not be upheld. In order to protect or

17

enforce  patent  rights,  we  may  initiate  litigation  against  third  parties.  If  we  are  not  successful  in  defending  an
attack on our patents and maintaining exclusive rights to market one or more of our products still under patent
protection,  we  could  lose  a  significant  portion  of  sales  in  a  very  short  period.  We  may  also  become  subject  to
infringement  claims  by  third  parties  and  may  have  to  defend  against  charges  that  we  violated  patents  or  the
proprietary rights of third parties. If we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could lose our right
to develop, manufacture or sell products, including our generic products, or could be required to pay monetary
damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. The outcomes of infringement action are
uncertain and infringement actions are costly and divert technical and management personnel from their normal
responsibilities.

If our products cause, or are alleged to cause, serious or widespread personal injury, we may have to withdraw those
products from the market and/or incur significant costs, including payment of substantial sums in damages, and we may
be subject to exposure relating to product liability claims.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to significant product liability and other claims in the event
that the use of our products caused, or is alleged to have caused, adverse effects. Furthermore, our products may
cause,  or  may  appear  to  have  caused,  adverse  side  effects  (including  death)  or  potentially  dangerous  drug
interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug has been administered to patients for
some  time.  The  withdrawal  of  a  product  following  complaints  and/or  incurring  significant  costs,  including  the
requirement to pay substantial damages in personal injury cases or product liability cases, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of
our common stock to decline. Our product liability insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our claims
and we may not be able to obtain sufficient  coverage at  a reasonable cost  in the future.

We  are  involved  in  various  legal  proceedings  that  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  financial
condition and results of operations and  could cause the  market value of our common stock to decline.

We are involved in several legal proceedings. Defending against claims and any unfavorable legal decisions,
settlements  or  orders  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations and could cause the market value of  our common  stock  to  decline.

Regulatory Risks

Obtaining necessary government approvals  is time  consuming and  not  assured.

The  FDA  and  Health  Canada  approval  must  be  obtained  in  the  U.S.  and  Canada,  respectively,  and
approval must be obtained from comparable agencies in other countries, prior to marketing or manufacturing
new pharmaceutical products for use by humans. Obtaining FDA, Health Canada and other regulatory approval
for  new  products  and  manufacturing  processes  can  take  a  number  of  years  and  involves  the  expenditure  of
substantial  resources.  Even  if  such  products  appear  promising  in  large-scale  Phase  3  clinical  trials,  regulatory
approval may not be achieved and no assurance can be given that we will obtain approval in the U.S., Canada or
any other country. Nor can any assurance be given that if such approval is secured, the approved labeling will not
have significant labeling limitations, including limitations on the indications for which we can market a product,
or require onerous risk management programs.

Our marketed drugs will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.

Following  initial  regulatory  approval  of  any  drugs  we  or  our  partners  may  develop,  we  will  be  subject  to
continuing  regulatory  review  by  the  FDA,  the  Health  Canada  and  other  regulatory  authorities  in  countries
where our products are marketed or intended to be marketed, including the review of adverse drug events and
clinical  results  that  are  reported  after  product  candidates  become  commercially  available.  The  manufacturing,
labeling,  packaging,  storage,  distribution,  advertising,  promotion,  reporting  and  recordkeeping  related  to  the
product  will  also  be  subject  to  extensive  ongoing  regulatory  requirements.  If  we  fail  to  comply  with  U.S.  and
Canadian regulatory requirements and those in other countries where our products are sold, we could lose our
marketing approvals or be subject to fines or other sanctions. In addition, incidents of adverse drug reactions,
unintended  side  effects  or  misuse  relating  to  our  products  could  result  in  additional  regulatory  controls  or
restrictions,  or  even  lead  to  withdrawal  of  a  product  from  the  market.  As  a  condition  to  granting  marketing
approval of a product, the FDA and Health Canada may require a company to conduct additional clinical trials,

18

the  results  of  which  could  result  in  the  subsequent  loss  of  marketing  approval,  changes  in  product  labeling  or
new or increased concerns about side effects or efficacy of a  product.

Our marketing, promotional and pricing practices, as well as the manner in which sales forces interact with purchasers,
prescribers and patients, are subject to extensive regulation and any material failure to comply could result in significant
sanctions against us.

The marketing, promotional, and pricing practices of pharmaceutical companies, as well as the manner in
which  companies,  in-house  or  third-party  sales  forces  interact  with  purchasers,  prescribers,  and  patients,  are
subject  to  extensive  regulation,  enforcement  of  which  may  result  in  the  imposition  of  civil  and/or  criminal
penalties, injunctions, and/or limitations on marketing practice for our products. Many companies, including us
and  Medicis,  have  been  the  subject  of  claims  related  to  these  practices  asserted  by  federal  authorities.  These
claims  have  resulted  in  fines  and  other  consequences.  We  are  now  operating  under  a  Corporate  Integrity
Agreement  (‘‘CIA’’)  that  requires  us  to  maintain  a  comprehensive  compliance  program  governing  our  sales,
marketing  and  government  pricing  and  contracting  functions.  Material  failures  to  comply  with  the  CIA  could
result  in  significant  sanctions  against  us,  including  monetary  penalties  and  exclusion  from  federal  health
care programs.

Companies  may  not  promote  drugs  for  ‘‘off-label’’  uses — that  is,  uses  that  are  not  described  in  the
product’s  labeling  and  that  differ  from  those  approved  by  the  FDA,  Health  Canada  or  other  applicable
regulatory  agencies.  A  company  that  is  found  to  have  improperly  promoted  off-label  uses  may  be  subject  to
significant  liability,  including  civil  and  administrative  remedies  as  well  as  criminal  sanctions.  In  addition,
management’s attention could be diverted from our business operations and our reputation could be damaged.

We will not be able to commercialize our pipeline products if preclinical studies do not produce successful results or if
clinical trials do not demonstrate safety  and efficacy  in humans.

We and our development partners, as applicable, conduct extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials to
demonstrate the safety and efficacy in humans of our pipeline products in order to obtain regulatory approval
for the sale of our pipeline products. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are expensive, can take many years and
have uncertain outcomes.

For  certain  of  our  products,  we  depend  on  reimbursement  from  third  party  payors  and  a  reduction  in  the  extent  of
reimbursement could reduce our product  sales and revenue.

Sales  of  certain  of  our  products  are  dependent,  in  part,  on  the  availability  and  extent  of  reimbursement
from  government  health  administration  authorities,  private  health  insurers  and  other  organizations  and  our
continued  participation  in  such  programs.  Changes  in  government  regulations  or  private  third-party  payors’
reimbursement policies may reduce reimbursement for our products  and adversely  affect our future  results.

Failure to be included in formularies developed by managed care organizations and other organizations may negatively
impact the utilization of our products, which could harm our market share and negatively impact our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Managed  care  organizations  and  other  third-party  payors  try  to  negotiate  the  pricing  of  medical  services
and  products  to  control  their  costs.  Managed  care  organizations  and  pharmacy  benefit  managers  typically
develop formularies to reduce their cost for medications. Formularies can be based on the prices and therapeutic
benefits of the available products. Due to their lower costs, generic products are often favored. The breadth of
the  products  covered  by  formularies  varies  considerably  from  one  managed  care  organization  to  another,  and
many  formularies  include  alternative  and  competitive  products  for  treatment  of  particular  medical  conditions.
Failure  to  be  included  in  such  formularies  or  to  achieve  favorable  formulary  status  may  negatively  impact  the
utilization  of  our  products.  If  our  products  are  not  included  within  an  adequate  number  of  formularies  or
adequate  reimbursement  levels  are  not  provided,  or  if  those  policies  increasingly  favor  generic  products,  our
market  share  and  gross  margins  could  be  harmed,  as  could  our  business,  financial  condition,  results  of
operations and cash flows.

19

Manufacturing and Supply Risks

If  we  or  our  third-party  manufacturers  are  unable  to  manufacture  our  products  or  the  manufacturing  process  is
interrupted due to failure to comply with regulations or for other reasons, the interruption of the manufacture of our
products could adversely affect our business. Other manufacturing and supply difficulties or delays may also adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock
to decline.

Our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers must be inspected and found to be in
full compliance with current good manufacturing practices (‘‘cGMP’’) or similar standards before approval for
marketing.  Our  failure  or  that  of  our  contract  manufacturers  to  comply  with  cGMP  regulations  or  similar
regulations  outside  of  the  U.S.  can  result  in  enforcement  action  by  the  FDA  or  its  foreign  counterparts,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  warning  letters,  fines,  injunctions,  civil  or  criminal  penalties,  recall  or  seizure  of
products,  total  or  partial  suspension  of  production  or  importation,  suspension  or  withdrawal  of  regulatory
approval  for  approved  or  in-market  products,  refusal  of  the  government  to  renew  marketing  applications  or
approve  pending  applications  or  supplements,  suspension  of  ongoing  clinical  trials,  imposition  of  new
manufacturing requirements, closure  of  facilities and criminal prosecution.

Our  manufacturing  and  other  processes  use  complicated  and  sophisticated  equipment,  which  sometimes
requires a significant amount of time to obtain and install. Manufacturing complexity, testing requirements and
safety  and  security  processes  combine  to  increase  the  overall  difficulty  of  manufacturing  these  products  and
resolving  manufacturing  problems  that  we  may  encounter.  Although  we  endeavor  to  properly  maintain  our
equipment, including through on-site quality control and experienced manufacturing supervision, and have key
spare parts on hand, our business could suffer if certain manufacturing or other equipment, or all or a portion of
our  facilities,  were  to  become  inoperable  for  a  period  of  time.  This  could  occur  for  various  reasons,  including
catastrophic  events,  such  as  hurricanes,  earthquakes  or  other  natural  disasters,  explosions,  environmental
accidents,  pandemics,  quarantine,  equipment  failures  or  delays  in  obtaining  components  or  replacements,
construction  delays  or  defects  and  other  events,  both  within  and  outside  of  our  control.  We  could  experience
substantial  production  delays  in  the  event  of  any  such  occurrence  until  we  build  or  locate  replacement
equipment  or  a  replacement  facility,  as  applicable,  and  seek  to  obtain  necessary  regulatory  approvals  for  such
replacement.  Any  interruption  in  our  manufacture  of  products  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our
business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock
to decline.

Our dependence upon others to manufacture our products may adversely affect our profit margins and our
ability to develop and obtain approval for our products on a timely and competitive basis, if at all. In addition,
delays  or  difficulties  by  us  or  with  our  contract  manufacturers  in  producing,  packaging,  or  distributing  our
products could adversely affect the sales of  our current products  or introduction of other products.

The  supply  of  our  products  to  our  customers  is  subject  to  and  dependent  upon  the  use  of  transportation
services.  Disruption  of  transportation  services  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial
condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock  to  decline.

If we are unable to obtain components or raw materials, or products supplied by third parties, our ability to manufacture
and deliver our products to the market would be impeded, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Some components and raw materials used in our manufactured products, and some products sold by us, are
currently available only from one or a limited number of domestic or foreign suppliers. In the event an existing
supplier becomes unavailable through business interruption or financial insolvency or loses its regulatory status
as an approved source or we are unable to renew current supply agreements when such agreements expire and
we  do  not  have  a  second  supplier,  we  may  be  unable  to  obtain  the  required  components,  raw  materials  or
products  on  a  timely  basis  or  at  commercially  reasonable  prices.  A  prolonged  interruption  in  the  supply  of  a
single-sourced raw material, including the active pharmaceutical ingredient, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common
stock to decline.

20

Commercialization and Distribution Risks

Our approved products may not achieve  or maintain expected  levels of market acceptance.

Even  if  we  are  able  to  obtain  and  maintain  regulatory  approvals  for  our  new  pharmaceutical  products,
generic  or  branded,  the  success  of  these  products  is  dependent  upon  achieving  and  maintaining  market
acceptance.  Commercializing  products  is  time  consuming,  expensive  and  unpredictable.  There  can  be  no
assurance  that  we  will  be  able  to,  either  by  ourselves  or  in  collaboration  with  our  partners  or  through  our
licensees, successfully commercialize new products or gain market acceptance for such products. New product
candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited or no
commercial  success.  Levels  of  market  acceptance  for  our  new  products  could  be  impacted  by  several  factors,
many  of which are not within our control, including but not limited to the:

(cid:127) safety,  efficacy,  convenience  and  cost-effectiveness  of  our  products  compared  to  products  of  our

competitors;

(cid:127) scope of approved uses and marketing approval;

(cid:127) timing of market approvals and market entry;

(cid:127) availability of alternative products from our competitors;

(cid:127) acceptance of the price of our products; and

(cid:127) ability to market our products effectively at the retail  level  or  in the appropriate setting of care.

Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate
(or are perceived to implicate) an entire class of products could have an adverse effect on sales of the affected
products. Accordingly, new data about our products, or products similar to our products, could negatively impact
demand  for  our  products  due  to  real  or  perceived  side  effects  or  uncertainty  regarding  efficacy  and,  in  some
cases, could result in product withdrawal.

Our business may be impacted by seasonality, which may cause our operating results and financial condition to fluctuate.

Demand for certain of our products may be impacted by seasonality. In particular, demand for certain of
our dermatology products tends to increase during the third quarter ‘‘back to school’’ period. In addition, sales
in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on the purchasing patterns of our customer base. This seasonality
may cause our operating results to fluctuate. Furthermore, there are no assurances that these historical trends
will continue in the future.

We have entered into distribution agreements with other companies to distribute certain of our products at supply prices
based on net sales. Declines in the pricing and/or volume, over which we have no or limited control, of such products, and
therefore the amounts paid to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations and could cause the market  value  of  our common stock  to  decline.

Certain  of  our  generic  products  and  certain  of  our  other  products  are  the  subject  of  various  agreements,
pursuant  to  which  we  manufacture  and  sell  products  to  other  companies,  which  distribute  such  products  at  a
supply price typically based on net sales. Our ability to control pricing and volume of these products is limited
and,  in  some  cases,  these  companies  make  all  distribution  and  pricing  decisions  independently  of  us.  If  the
pricing  or  volume  of  such  products  declines,  our  revenues  would  be  adversely  impacted  which  could  have  a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market
value of our common stock to decline.

21

Risks related to Specific Legislation  and  Regulations

We are subject to various laws and regulations, including ‘‘fraud and abuse’’ laws, anti-bribery laws, environmental laws
and privacy and security regulations, and a failure to comply with such laws and regulations or prevail in any litigation
related  to  noncompliance  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations and could cause the market  value  of  our common stock  to  decline.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have faced lawsuits and investigations pertaining to violations
of health care ‘‘fraud and abuse’’ laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute,
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) and other state and federal laws and regulations. We also face
increasingly strict data privacy and security laws in the U.S. and in other countries, the violation of which could
result  in  fines  and  other  sanctions.  The  United  States  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  Office  of
increasingly  states,  require  pharmaceutical  companies  to  have
Inspector  General  recommends  and, 
comprehensive  compliance  programs  and  to  disclose  certain  payments  made  to  healthcare  providers  or  funds
spent on marketing and promotion of drug products. While we have developed corporate compliance programs
based on what we believe to be current best practices, we cannot assure you that we or our employees or agents
are  or  will  be  in  compliance  with  all  applicable  federal,  state  or  foreign  regulations  and  laws.  If  we  are  in
violation of any of these requirements or any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in
defending  ourselves  or  asserting  our  rights,  those  actions  could  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  business,
including the imposition of significant  fines,  exclusion  from federal  healthcare programs or  other  sanctions.

The  FCPA  and  similar  worldwide  anti-bribery  laws  generally  prohibit  companies  and  their  intermediaries
from  making  improper  payments  to  officials  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  or  retaining  business.  Our  policies
mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced
governmental corruption to some degree and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws
may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of
which may be state controlled, in a manner that is different than in the U.S. and Canada. We cannot assure you
that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our
employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and
result in criminal or civil penalties or remedial measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  and  could  cause  the  market  value  of  our  common
stock to decline.

We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment, safety matters, regulation of chemicals
and  product  safety  in  the  countries  where  we  manufacture  and  sell  our  products  or  otherwise  operate  our
business. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, use and disposal
of materials, including the discharge of pollutants into the environment. In the normal course of our business,
hazardous  substances  may  be  released  into  the  environment,  which  could  cause  environmental  or  property
damage or personal injuries, and which could subject us to remediation obligations regarding contaminated soil
and groundwater or potential liability for damage claims. Under certain laws, we may be required to remediate
contamination  at  certain  of  our  properties  regardless  of  whether  the  contamination  was  caused  by  us  or  by
previous occupants of the property or by others. In recent years, the operations of all companies have become
subject  to  increasingly  stringent  legislation  and  regulation  related  to  occupational  safety  and  health,  product
registration  and  environmental  protection.  Such  legislation  and  regulations  are  complex  and  constantly
changing, and future changes in laws or regulations may require us to install additional controls for certain of
our emission sources, to undertake changes in our manufacturing processes or to remediate soil or groundwater
contamination at facilities where such  cleanup is not currently required.

We  are  also  subject  to  various  privacy  and  security  regulations,  including  but  not  limited  to  the  Health
Insurance  Portability  and  Accountability  Act  of  1996,  as  amended  by  the  Health  Information  Technology  for
Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (as amended, ‘‘HIPAA’’). HIPAA mandates, among other things, the
adoption of uniform standards for the electronic exchange of information in common health care transactions
(e.g.,  health  care  claims  information  and  plan  eligibility,  referral  certification  and  authorization,  claims  status,
plan enrollment, coordination of benefits and related information), as well as standards relating to the privacy
and  security  of  individually  identifiable  health  information,  which  require  the  adoption  of  administrative,
physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. In addition, many states have enacted comparable

22

laws addressing the privacy and security of health information, some of which are more stringent than HIPAA.
Failure to comply with these laws can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties. The costs
of  compliance  with  these  laws  and  the  potential  liability  associated  with  the  failure  to  comply  with  these  laws
could adversely affect our financial condition, results of  operations and cash flows.

Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system may affect our ability to sell our products profitably and could
adversely affect our business.

In  the  U.S.  and  certain  foreign  jurisdictions,  there  have  been  a  number  of  legislative  and  regulatory
proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act  of  2010  (the  ‘‘Health  Care  Reform  Act’’)  may  affect  the  operational  results  of  companies  in  the
pharmaceutical industry, including the Company and other healthcare related industries, by imposing on them
additional costs. Effective January 1, 2010, the Health Care Reform Act increased the minimum Medicaid drug
rebates for pharmaceutical companies, expanded the 340B drug discount program, and made changes to affect
the  Medicare  Part  D  coverage  gap,  or  ‘‘donut  hole’’.  The  law  also  revised  the  definition  of  ‘‘average
manufacturer price’’ for reporting purposes, which has the potential to affect the amount of our Medicaid drug
rebates to states. Beginning in 2011, the law imposed a significant annual fee on companies that manufacture or
import branded prescription drug products.

The  Health  Care  Reform  Act  also  added  substantial  new  provisions  affecting  compliance,  some  of  which
may  require  us  to  modify  our  business  practices  with  health  care  practitioners.  Pharmaceutical  manufacturers
are required in 2013 to comply with the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which was passed as part of
the Act and requires pharmaceutical companies to monitor and report payments, gifts, the provision of samples
and other remuneration made to physicians and other health care professionals and health care organizations.

We are unable to predict the future course of federal or state health care legislation. A variety of federal
and  state  agencies  are  in  the  process  of  implementing  the  Health  Care  Reform  Act,  including  through  the
issuance  of  rules,  regulations  or  guidance  that  materially  affect  our  business.  The  risk  of  our  being  found  in
violation of these rules and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted
by applicable regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations.
The Health Care Reform Act and further changes to health care laws or regulatory framework that reduce our
revenues or increase our costs could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations and cash flows,  and could  cause the  market  value  of  our  common stock to decline.

Other Risks

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate.

Our  operating  results  and  financial  condition  may  fluctuate  from  quarter  to  quarter  for  a  number  of
reasons.  The  following  events  or  occurrences,  among  others,  could  cause  fluctuations  in  our  financial
performance from period to period:

(cid:127) development and launch of new competitive products;

(cid:127) the timing and receipt of FDA approvals or lack of approvals;

(cid:127) costs related to business development transactions;

(cid:127) changes in the amount we spend to promote  our  products;

(cid:127) delays between our expenditures to acquire new products, technologies or businesses and the generation

of revenues from those acquired products, technologies  or businesses;

(cid:127) changes in treatment practices of physicians that currently prescribe certain of our products;

(cid:127) increases in the cost of raw materials  used  to  manufacture our products;

(cid:127) expenditures  as  a  result  of  legal  actions,  including  the  defense  of  our  patents  and  other  intellectual

property;

(cid:127) market acceptance of our products;

(cid:127) the timing of wholesaler and distributor purchases;

(cid:127) increases in insurance rates for existing  products and the cost of insurance for new products;

(cid:127) general economic and industry conditions;  and

(cid:127) changes in seasonality of demand for certain  of our products.

As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results from operations, or any other similar
period-to-period  comparisons,  should  not  be  construed  as  reliable  indicators  of  our  future  performance.  The
above  factors  may  cause  our  operating  results  to  fluctuate  and  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and
results of operations. In any quarterly period, our results may be below the expectations of market analysts and
investors, which would likely cause the trading price  of our common stock to decrease.

Market  prices  for  the  securities  of  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  companies,  including  our  securities,
have  historically  been  highly  volatile,  and  the  market  has  from  time  to  time  experienced  significant  price  and
volume  fluctuations  that  are  unrelated  to  the  operating  performance  of  particular  companies.  Factors  such  as
fluctuations in our operating results, the aftermath of public announcements by us, concern as to safety of drugs
and general market conditions can have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and other
securities.

April 5, 2010

October 4, 2010
December 22, 2010

On November 4, 2010, our board of directors declared a special dividend of $1.00 (the ‘‘post-Merger special
dividend’’) per common share, no par value. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15,
2010  (the  ‘‘record  date’’)  were  entitled  to  receive  the  post-Merger  special  dividend  on  December  22,  2010.  In
connection  with  the  post-Merger  special  dividend,  we  established  a  special  dividend  reinvestment  plan  under
which  eligible  shareholders  of  record  as  of  the  record  date  could  elect  to  reinvest  the  post-Merger  special
dividend  (net  of  any  applicable  withholding  tax)  in  additional  common  shares  of  the  Company.  Following  the
payment  of  the  post-Merger  special  dividend,  the  special  dividend  reinvestment  plan  was  terminated.  The
aggregate cash post-Merger special dividend paid was $297.6 million and we issued 72,283 additional shares to
shareholders that elected to reinvest in  additional  common shares of the  Company.

While our board of directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend
to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Third Amended
and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement  include restrictions on the payment  of dividends.

See  Item  7.  ‘‘Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operation —

Selected Financial Information — Cash  Dividends’’, for additional  details about  our dividend payments.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by  Non-Canadians

There  are  no  limitations  under  the  laws  of  Canada  or  in  our  organizational  documents  on  the  right  of
foreigners  to  hold  or  vote  securities  of  our  Company,  except  that  the  Investment  Canada  Act  (Canada)
(the ‘‘Investment Canada Act’’) may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain
acquisitions of ‘‘control’’ of our Company  by  a ‘‘non-Canadian’’.

Investment Canada Act

An  acquisition  of  control  of  a  Canadian  business  by  a  non-Canadian  is  either  reviewable  (a  ‘‘Reviewable
Transaction’’), in which case it is subject to both a reporting obligation and an approval process, or notifiable, in
which case it is subject to only a post-closing reporting obligation. In the case of a Reviewable Transaction, the
non-Canadian acquirer must submit an application for review with the prescribed information. The responsible
Minister  is  then  required  to  determine  whether  the  Reviewable  Transaction  is  likely  to  be  of  net  benefit  to
Canada,  taking  into  account  the  assessment  factors  specified  in  the  Investment  Canada  Act  and  any  written
undertakings that may have been given  by the non-Canadian  acquirer.

In March 2009, the Investment Canada Act was amended to provide that any investment by a non-Canadian
in  a  Canadian  business,  even  where  control  has  not  been  acquired,  can  be  reviewed  on  grounds  of  whether  it
may  be  injurious  to  national  security.  Where  an  investment  is  determined  to  be  injurious  to  national  security,
Cabinet  can  prohibit  closing  or,  if  closed,  can  order  the  investor  to  divest  control.  Short  of  a  prohibition  or
divestment  order,  Cabinet  can  impose  terms  or  conditions  on  the  investment  or  can  require  the  investor  to
provide binding undertakings to remove  the national security  concern.

Competition Act

Part IX of the Competition Act (Canada) (the ‘‘Competition Act’’) requires that a pre-merger notification
filing be submitted to the Commissioner of Competition (the ‘‘Commissioner’’) in respect of certain classes of
merger transactions that exceed certain prescribed thresholds. If a proposed transaction exceeds such thresholds,
subject  to  certain  exceptions,  the  notification  filing  must  be  submitted  to  the  Commissioner  and  the  statutory
waiting  period  must  expire  or  be  terminated  early  or  waived  by  the  Commissioner  before  the  transaction  can
be completed.

All  mergers,  regardless  of  whether  they  are  subject  to  Part  IX  of  the  Competition  Act,  are  subject  to  the
substantive mergers provisions under Section 92 of the Competition Act. In particular, the Commissioner may
challenge a transaction before the Competition Tribunal where the transaction prevents or lessens, or is likely to
prevent or lessen, competition substantially in a market. The Commissioner may not make an application to the
Competition Tribunal under Section 92 of the Competition Act more than one year after the merger has been
substantially completed.

Exchange Controls

Canada  has  no  system  of  exchange  controls.  There  are  no  Canadian  restrictions  on  the  repatriation  of
capital  or  earnings  of  a  Canadian  public  company  to  non-resident  investors.  There  are  no  laws  in  Canada  or
exchange  restrictions  affecting  the  remittance  of  dividends,  profits,  interest,  royalties  and  other  payments  to
non-resident holders of our securities, except as  discussed in ‘‘Taxation’’ below.

Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Taxation

The  following  discussion  is  a  summary  of  the  principal  Canadian  federal  income  tax  considerations
generally  applicable  to  a  holder  of  our  common  shares  who,  at  all  relevant  times,  for  purposes  of  the  Income
Tax  Act  (Canada)  and  the  Income  Tax  Regulations  (collectively,  the  ‘‘Canadian  Tax  Act’’)  deals  at  arm’s-length
with, and is not affiliated with, our Company, beneficially owns its common shares as capital property and does
not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold such common shares in carrying on a business in Canada and
who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Canadian Tax Act and the Canada-U.S. Income
Tax Convention (1980, as amended) (the ‘‘U.S. Treaty’’), is resident in the U.S., is not, and is not deemed to be,

29

resident in Canada and is eligible for benefits under the U.S. Treaty (a ‘‘U.S. Holder’’). Special rules, which are
not discussed in the summary, may apply to a non-resident holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance
business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an ‘‘authorized foreign bank’’ as defined in the Canadian Tax Act.

The  U.S.  Treaty  includes  limitation  on  benefits  rules  that  restrict  the  ability  of  certain  persons  who  are
resident in the U.S. to claim any or all benefits under the U.S. Treaty. Furthermore, limited liability companies
(‘‘LLCs’’)  that  are  not  taxed  as  corporations  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Code  of
1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’) do not generally qualify as resident in the U.S. for purposes of the U.S. Treaty.
Under  the  U.S.  Treaty,  a  resident  of  the  U.S.  who  is  a  member  of  such  an  LLC  and  is  otherwise  eligible  for
benefits  under  the  U.S.  Treaty  may  generally  be  entitled  to  claim  benefits  under  the  U.S.  Treaty  in  respect  of
income, profits or gains derived through the LLC. Residents of the U.S. should consult their own tax advisors
with respect to their eligibility for benefits  under the U.S. Treaty,  having regard to these  rules.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the U.S. Treaty and the Canadian Tax Act and our
understanding  of  the  current  administrative  policies  and  assessing  practices  of  the  Canada  Revenue  Agency
published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend
the  U.S.  Treaty  and  the  Canadian  Tax  Act  publicly  announced  by  or  on  behalf  of  the  Minister  of  Finance
(Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate changes in
law  or  administrative  policies  and  assessing  practices,  whether  by  judicial,  regulatory,  administrative  or
legislative  decision  or  action,  nor  does  it  take  into  account  provincial,  territorial  or  foreign  tax  legislation  or
considerations, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or
tax advice generally or to any particular holder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to
their own particular circumstances.

Gains on Disposition of Common Shares

In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on capital gains arising on
the disposition of such holder’s common shares unless the common shares are ‘‘taxable Canadian property’’ to
the U.S.  Holder and are not ‘‘treaty-protected  property’’.

As long as the common shares are then listed on a ‘‘designated stock exchange’’, which currently includes
the  NYSE  and  TSX,  the  common  shares  generally  will  not  constitute  taxable  Canadian  property  of  a
U.S.  Holder,  unless  (a)  at  any  time  during  the  60-month  period  preceding  the  disposition,  the  U.S.  Holder,
persons  not  dealing  at  arm’s  length  with  such  U.S.  Holder  or  the  U.S.  Holder  together  with  all  such  persons,
owned  25%  or  more  of  the  issued  shares  of  any  class  or  series  of  the  capital  stock  of  the  Company  and  more
than  50%  of  the  fair  market  value  of  the  common  shares  was  derived,  directly  or  indirectly,  from  any
combination of (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) ‘‘Canadian resource property’’ (as such
term is defined in the Tax Act), (iii) ‘‘timber resource property’’ (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), or
(iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties whether or not the property
exists, or (b) the common shares are  otherwise deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Common shares will be treaty-protected property where the U.S. Holder is exempt from income tax under
the Canadian Tax Act on the disposition of common shares because of the U.S. Treaty. Common shares owned
by  a  U.S.  Holder  will  generally  be  treaty-protected  property  where  the  value  of  the  common  shares  is  not
derived principally from real property situated in Canada, as defined  in the  U.S. Treaty.

Dividends on Common Shares

Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares
to  a  U.S.  Holder  that  is  the  beneficial  owner  of  such  dividends  will  generally  be  subject  to  non-resident
withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act and the U.S. Treaty at the rate of (a) 5% of the amounts paid or
credited if the U.S. Holder is a company that owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of our voting stock, or
(b) 15% of the amounts paid or credited in all other cases. The rate of withholding under the Canadian Tax Act
in respect of dividends paid to non-residents  of Canada is  25%  where no tax treaty applies.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation  Plans

Information required under this Item will be included in our definitive proxy statement for the 2013 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders expected to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year
covered by this Form 10-K (the ‘‘2013 Proxy Statement’’), and such required information is incorporated herein
by reference.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the  Company  and Affiliated Purchases

On  November  4,  2010,  we  announced  that  our  board  of  directors  had  approved  a  securities  repurchase
program,  pursuant  to  which  we  could  make  purchases  of  our  common  shares,  convertible  notes  and/or  senior
notes,  from  time  to  time,  up  to  an  aggregate  maximum  value  of  $1.5  billion,  subject  to  any  restrictions  in  our
financing  agreements  and  applicable  law.  On  August  29,  2011,  we  announced  that  our  board  of  directors  had
approved  an  increase  of  $300.0  million  under  our  securities  repurchase  program  (the  ‘‘2010  Securities
Repurchase Program’’). As a result, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program, we were able to repurchase
up to $1.8 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that were
issued  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  program.  The  2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program  terminated  on
November 7, 2011.

On November 3, 2011, we announced that our board of directors had approved a new securities repurchase
program  (the  ‘‘2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program’’).  Under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  which
commenced on November 8, 2011, we could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our convertible notes, senior
notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The 2011 Securities Repurchase Program terminated
on November 7, 2012.

On  November  19,  2012,  we  announced  that  our  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, we may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our senior
notes,  common  shares  and/or  other  future  debt  or  shares.  The  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program  will
terminate on November 14, 2013 or at such time as we complete our purchases. The amount of securities to be
purchased and the timing of purchases under the 2012 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. The board of directors
also  approved  a  sub-limit  under  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program  for  the  repurchase  of  an  amount  of
common shares equal to the greater of 10% of our public float or 5% of our issued and outstanding common
shares, in each case calculated as of the date of the commencement of the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program.
We  are  permitted  to  make  purchases  of  up  to  15,172,149  common  shares  on  the  open  market  through  the
facilities  of  the  NYSE,  representing  approximately  5%  of  our  issued  and  outstanding  common  shares  on  the
date  of  the  commencement  of  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program.  Subject  to  completion  of  appropriate
filings with and approval by the TSX, the Company may also make purchases of our common shares over the
facilities of the TSX. Purchases of common shares will be made at prevailing market prices of such shares on the
NYSE or the TSX, as the case may be, at the time of the acquisition and shall be made in accordance with the
respective  rules  and  guidelines  of  the  NYSE  and  the  TSX.  All  common  shares  purchased  under  the  2012
Securities Repurchase Program will be  cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased
$1.1 million principal amount of our 5.375% Convertible Notes for a purchase price of $4.0 million. In addition,
in the year ended December 31, 2012, under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased 5,257,454
of  our  common  shares  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $280.7  million.  In  the  three-month  period  ended

(2)

In 2012, we wrote off an IPR&D asset of $133.4 million, relating to the IDP-107 program, which was acquired in September 2010 as
part  of  the  Merger.  Through  discussion  with  various  internal  and  external  Key  Opinion  Leaders,  we  completed  our  analysis  of  the
Phase 2 study results for IDP-107 during the third quarter of 2012. This led to our decision in the third quarter of 2012 to terminate the
program  and  fully  impair  the  asset.  As  attempts  to  identify  a  partner  for  the  program  were  not  successful,  we  do  not  believe  the
program has value to a market participant.

In  2011,  we  recognized  impairment  charges  on  IPR&D  assets  of  $105.2  million  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  relating  to  the  A002,
A004,  and  A006  programs  acquired  as  part  of  the  Aton  Pharma,  Inc.  acquisition  in  2010,  as  well  as  the  IDP-109  and
IDP-115 dermatology programs. The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results,
feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of
risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of Company resources to other
research  and development programs.

For information regarding other impairment charges, see note 7 and note 12 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of
this Form 10-K.

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 audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto,
prepared in accordance with United States (‘‘U.S.’’) generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) as of
December  31,  2012  and  2011  and  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2012  (the  ‘‘2012
Financial Statements’’).

Additional information relating to the Company, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2012 (the ‘‘2012 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

February 28, 2013.

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

COMPANY PROFILE

On September 28, 2010 (the ‘‘Merger Date’’), Biovail Corporation (‘‘Biovail’’) completed the acquisition of
Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International  (‘‘Valeant’’)  through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  pursuant  to  an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of  Biovail  (the  ‘‘Merger’’).  In  connection  with  the  Merger,  Biovail  was  renamed  ‘‘Valeant  Pharmaceuticals
International, Inc.’’ (‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’, ‘‘our’’  or the  ‘‘Company’’).

We  are  a  multinational,  specialty  pharmaceutical  company  that  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  a
broad  range  of  pharmaceutical  products  and  medical  devices.  Our  specialty  pharmaceutical  and
over-the-counter  (‘‘OTC’’)  products  are  marketed  under  brand  names  and  are  sold  in  the  U.S.,  Canada,
Australia and New Zealand, where we focus most of our efforts on products in the dermatology and neurology
therapeutic classes. We also have branded generic, branded and OTC operations in Central and Eastern Europe,
Latin America, Southeast Asia and South  Africa.

Our strategy is to focus our business on core geographies and therapeutic classes, manage pipeline assets
either internally or through strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies and deploy cash with an
appropriate mix of selective acquisitions, debt repurchases and repayments, and share buybacks. We believe this
strategy will allow us to improve both our  growth rate and profitability and to enhance shareholder value.

Our low risk research and development model described below is one key element to this business strategy.
It will allow us to progress certain development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing
our  research and development expense.  This will be achieved  in four  ways:

(cid:127) focusing  our  efforts  on  niche  therapeutic  areas  such  as  dermatology,  podiatry,  ophthalmology  and

life-cycle management programs for currently marketed products;

(cid:127) acquiring  dossiers  and  registrations  for  branded  generic  products,  which  require  limited  manufacturing

start-up and development activities;

(cid:127) selling  internal  development  capabilities  to  third  parties,  thereby  allowing  higher  utilization  and

infrastructure cost absorption; and

(cid:127) structuring partnerships and collaborations  so that our partners share development costs.

We  are  diverse  not  only  in  our  sources  of  revenues  from  our  broad  drug  portfolio,  but  also  among  the
therapeutic  classes  and  geographic  segments  we  serve.  We  focus  on  those  businesses  that  we  view  to  have  the
potential for strong operating margins and solid growth, while  providing natural balance across  geographies.

We measure our success through total shareholder return and, on that basis, as of February 22, 2013, the
market price of our common shares on both the New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’) and on the Toronto Stock

33

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Exchange (‘‘TSX’’) has increased approximately 150% since the Merger Date, as adjusted for the post-Merger
special  dividend  of  $1.00  per  common  share  (the  ‘‘post-Merger  special  dividend’’).  For  more  information
regarding the post-Merger special dividend, see note 3 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15
of this Form 10-K.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

We  continue  to  focus  the  business  on  core  geographies  and  therapeutic  classes  through  selective
acquisitions, dispositions and strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies. Since 2010, we have
completed  several  transactions  to  expand  our  product  portfolio,  including,  among  others,  the  following
acquisitions and dispositions.

(1) The Medicis acquisition included acquired IPR&D assets of $153.8 million related to the development of several programs, including
Luliconazole Cream Metronidazole 1.3%, and other dermatology and aesthetics programs. The projected cash flows were adjusted for
the  probability  of  successful  development  and  commercialization  of  the  products.  In  determining  fair  value  for  these  assets,  we
assumed that significant cash inflows for these products would commence in 2015, and we estimated that we will incur development
costs of approximately $40 million, in the aggregate, to complete  the development of these IPR&D assets.

(2) The Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4) acquisition included an acquired IPR&D asset of $33.5 million related to the development of a Xerese(cid:4) life-cycle
product. The projected cash flows from the acquired IPR&D assets were adjusted for the probability of successful development and
commercialization  of  the  product.  Subsequently,  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012,  we  recognized  an  impairment  charge  of
$24.7  million  related  to  this  IPR&D  asset  due  to  higher  projected  development  spend  and  revised  timelines  for  potential
commercialization.

(3) With respect to the Biovail merger with Valeant, the significant components of the acquired IPR&D assets of $1.4 billion related to the
development  of  ezogabine/retigabine  in  collaboration  with  Glaxo  Group  Limited,  a  subsidiary  of  GlaxoSmithKline  plc  (the  entities
within  The  Glaxo  Group  of  Companies  are  referred  throughout  as  ‘‘GSK’’),  and  a  number  of  dermatology  products.  Subsequently,
during  2011  and  2012,  we  recognized  impairment  charges  associated  with  these  assets,  which  are  described  below  under  Results  of
Operations — In-Process Research and Development Impairments and Other Charges. As of December 31, 2012, we have estimated
that we will incur development costs of approximately $100 million, in the aggregate, of which $34.6 million has been incurred through
December 31, 2012, to complete the remaining products in development.

For more information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions, see note 3, note 4 and note 27 of notes to

consolidated financial statements in Item 15  of this  Form 10-K.

PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT

The following products, among others, are currently or  were in clinical development during 2012:

Potiga(cid:5)  (Ezogabine/Retigabine)

In  collaboration  with  GSK,  we  developed  and  launched  in  the  second  quarter  of  2012  immediate  release
Potiga(cid:5) (ezogabine/retigabine) in the U.S. as an adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures in patients with
epilepsy.  We  continue  to  work  with  GSK  to  develop  a  modified  release  formulation  with  a  goal  to  improve
patient  convenience,  compliance  and  tolerability.  A  lead  formulation  has  been  selected  for  evaluation
in patients.

Dermatology Products

With  the  Medicis  acquisition  in  December  2012,  we  added  several  ongoing  projects  to  our  research  and

development portfolio, including:

(cid:127) Luliconazole, a new imidazole, antimycotic cream for the treatment of tinea cruris, pedis and corporis. A
New Drug Application (‘‘NDA’’) was submitted to the FDA on December 11, 2012 and we have received
a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (‘‘PDUFA’’) date of December 11, 2013 with respect to this application.

(cid:127) Metronidazole 1.3%, a topical antibiotic  for the  treatment of bacterial  vaginosis.

(cid:127) Several unique formulation development programs focused on improving the tolerability of existing acne

vulgaris treatments, as well as a number  of  aesthetics programs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

We  also have a number of dermatology product candidates  in development including:

(cid:127) IDP-108 (efinaconazole), a novel triazole compound, is an antifungal targeted to treat onychomycosis, a
fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails primarily in older adults. Valeant holds an exclusive license
from  Kaken  Pharmaceutical  Co.,  Ltd.,  to  commercialize  efinaconazole  in  North  America,  Central
America, South America and the European Union. The mechanism of antifungal activity appears similar
to other antifungal triazoles, i.e., ergosterol synthesis inhibition. We filed the NDA in the U.S. on July 26,
2012  and  the  NDS  in  Canada  on  October  15,  2012.  In  the  U.S.,  we  have  received  a  PDUFA  date  of
May 24, 2013 with respect to this application.

(cid:127) Topical and other life-cycle management  projects,  including IDP-118.

COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS

See  note  5  of  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  15  of  this  Form  10-K  for  detailed
information  regarding  our  License  and  Collaboration  Agreement  with  GSK,  joint  ventures  with  Meda  AB,
collaboration and option agreements with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and various collaboration agreements
assumed in connection with the Medicis acquisition.

RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

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 have identified approximately $275 million of cost synergies on a run rate
basis that we expect to achieve by the end of 2013. This amount does not include potential revenue synergies or
the potential benefits of expanding the Company corporate structure to Medicis’s operations.

We  have  implemented  cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives  to  capture  operating  synergies  and

generate cost savings across the Company.  These measures included:

(cid:127) workforce reductions across the Company and  other organizational  changes;

(cid:127) closing  of  duplicative  facilities  and  other  site  rationalization  actions  company-wide,  including  research

and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

(cid:127) leveraging research and development spend; and

(cid:127) procurement savings.

We  estimated  that  we  will  incur  total  costs  in  the  range  of  up  to  $275  million  in  connection  with  these
cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives,  which  are  expected  to  be  substantially  completed  by  the  end  of
2013. $85.6 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2012. These costs include: employee termination costs
payable to approximately 750 employees of the Company and Medicis who have been or will be 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  development  model;  costs  to  consolidate  or
close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. These estimates do
not  include  a  charge  of  $77.3  million  recognized  and  paid  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012  related  to  the
acceleration  of  unvested  stock  options,  restricted  stock  awards,  and  share  appreciation  rights  for  Medicis
employees that was triggered by the change in control.

See  note  6  of  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  15  of  this  Form  10-K  for  detailed
information  summarizing  the  major  components  of  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  our  Medicis  acquisition-
related initiatives through December 31,  2012.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The  complementary  nature  of  the  Biovail  and  Valeant  businesses  has  provided  an  opportunity  to  capture
significant operating synergies from reductions in research and development, sales and marketing, and general
and administrative expenses. In total, we have realized approximately $350 million of annual cost synergies as of
December 31, 2012. Approximately $315 million of cost synergies were realized in 2011, and the full amount of
$350  million  was  realized  in  2012.  We  have  implemented  cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives  to
capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These  measures included:

(cid:127) workforce reductions across the Company and  other organizational  changes;

(cid:127) closing  of  duplicative  facilities  and  other  site  rationalization  actions  company-wide,  including  research

and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

(cid:127) leveraging research and development spend; and

(cid:127) procurement savings.

We  estimated  that  we  will  incur  total  costs  in  the  range  of  up  to  $200  million  (of  which  the  non-cash
component,  including  share-based  compensation,  is  expected  to  be  approximately  $55  million)  in  connection
with  these  cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives,  of  which  $196.2  million  has  been  incurred  as  of
December 31, 2012. These costs include: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments)
payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been terminated as a result of Merger;
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,
asset impairment charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination
and lease cancellation costs.

See  note  6  of  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  15  of  this  Form  10-K  for  detailed
information  summarizing  the  major  components  of  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  our  Merger-related
initiatives through December 31, 2012.

U.S. HEALTHCARE REFORM

In  March  2010,  the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act  (the  ‘‘Act’’)  was  enacted  in  the
United States. The Act contains several provisions that impact our business. Provisions of the Act include: (i) an
increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate to states participating in the Medicaid program from 15.1% to 23.1%
on covered drugs; (ii) the extension of the Medicaid rebate to Managed Care Organizations that dispense drugs
to  Medicaid  beneficiaries;  and  (iii)  the  expansion  of  the  340(B)  Public  Health  Services  drug  pricing  program,
which provides outpatient drugs at reduced rates, to include additional hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers.

Commencing  in  2011,  the  new  legislation  requires  that  drug  manufacturers  provide  a  50%  discount  to
Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage
gap.  In  addition,  commencing  in  2011,  a  new  fee  has  been  assessed  on  prescription  drug  manufacturers  and
importers  that  sell  branded  prescription  drugs  to  specified  U.S.  government  programs  (e.g.,  Medicare  and
Medicaid). This fee is calculated based upon each entity’s relative share of total applicable branded prescription
drug sales to specified U.S. government programs for the preceding calendar year. The aggregate industry wide
fee is expected to total $28.0 billion  through 2019,  ranging  from  $2.5 billion to $4.1 billion  annually.

Additional provisions of the Act will be implemented in the next several years. For example, in 2013 federal
subsidies will begin to be phased in for brand-name prescription drugs filled in the Medicare Part D cover gap.
Also in January 2013, CMS issued final regulations to implement the physician payment disclosure provisions of
Act, which requires pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to disclose publicly certain payments to
physicians. In 2014, the Act’s private health insurance exchanges will begin to operate along with the mandate on
individuals to purchase health insurance. The Act also allows states to expand Medicaid coverage with most of

the  expansion’s  cost  paid  for  by  the  federal  government.  While  some  states  have  decided  to  pursue  such
expansions, others have indicated they will not do so or are  still considering doing so.

The Act did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation in 2012, 2011 or
2010. In 2012 and 2011, we made a total payment of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the
annual  fee  assessed  on  prescription  drug  manufacturers  and  importers  that  sell  branded  prescription  drugs  to
specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). We also incurred a cost of $9.8 million and
$6.0 million on Medicare Part D utilization incurred by beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them
to be subject to the Medicare Part D  coverage gap (i.e.,  the ‘‘donut hole’’)  in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

While the Supreme Court upheld the core provisions of the Affordable Care Act, additional challenges to
various provisions of the Act continue to work their way through the courts. We cannot predict at this time what
impact  these  challenges  will  have  on  our  business.  Similarly,  we  cannot  predict  the  how  the  numerous
regulations and requirements still to be proposed or finalized by the Administration and the states will impact
our  business.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows reflect Biovail’s stand-alone operations as they
existed prior to the completion of the Merger. The results of Valeant’s business have been included in our results
of  operations,  financial  condition  and  cash  flows  only  for  the  period  subsequent  to  the  completion  of  the
Merger. Therefore, our financial results  for 2010  do  not  reflect a full year of Valeant’s operations.

Financial Performance

Changes in Revenues

Total  revenues  increased  $1,083.2  million,  or  44%,  to  $3,546.6  million  in  2012,  compared  with

$2,463.5 million in 2011, primarily due to:

(cid:127) incremental  product  sales  revenue  of  $709.2  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  all  2011  acquisitions,
primarily  from  the  iNova,  Dermik,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  Sanitas,  PharmaSwiss,  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)  and
Afexa  acquisitions.  We  also  recognized  incremental  product  sales  revenue  in  2012  of  $280.7  million,  in
the  aggregate,  from  all  2012  acquisitions,  primarily  from  the  Probiotica,  OraPharma,  Medicis,  Gerot
Lannach, University Medical and Atlantis acquisitions. The incremental product sales revenue from the

38

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2011 and 2012 acquisitions includes a negative foreign exchange impact of $33.3 million, in the aggregate,
in 2012;

(cid:127) incremental product sales revenue of $286.9 million in 2012, related to growth from the existing business,
excluding the impact of generic competition in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment and the Canada
and Australia segment described below. Slightly more than half of this increase was based on volume, and
the remainder was a result of pricing  actions taken during 2012 and 2011;

(cid:127) alliance revenue of $122.7 million, primarily related to (i) alliance revenue of $66.3 million on the sale of
the IDP-111 and 5-FU products in the first quarter of 2012, and (ii) the 45.0 million milestone payment
received  from  GSK  in  connection  with  the  launch  of  Potiga(cid:5)  recognized  in  the  second  quarter  of
2012; and

(cid:127) incremental service revenue of $29.0 million in 2012,  primarily  from  the Dermik acquisition.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $81.8 million in 2012, including a decrease of
$42.8  million  in  2012,  related  to  IDP-111  royalty  revenue  as  a  result  of  the  sale  of  IDP-111  in
February 2012;

(cid:127) decrease  in  product  sales  of  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD,  Ultram(cid:4)  ER,  Diastat(cid:4)  and  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4)  in  the
U.S. Neurology and Other segment of $80.8 million, or 28%, in the aggregate, to $206.2 million in 2012,
compared with $287.0 million in 2011, due to generic competition;

(cid:127) a negative foreign currency exchange impact on  the existing business  of $67.2 million in 2012;

(cid:127) alliance  revenue  of  $43.0  million  in  2011,  primarily  related  to  the  $36.0  million  out-license  of  the

Cloderm(cid:4) product rights that did not similarly occur in 2012;

(cid:127) alliance  revenue  of  $40.0  million  recognized  in  the  second  quarter  of  2011  related  to  the  milestone

payment received from GSK in connection with  the launch  of Trobalt(cid:4); and

(cid:127) decrease in product sales of Cesamet(cid:4) in the Canada and Australia segment of $35.0 million, or 54%, to

$29.4 million in 2012, compared with $64.4  million in 2011,  due to generic competition.

Total  revenues  increased  $1,282.2  million,  or  109%,  to  $2,463.5  million  in  2011,  compared  with

$1,181.2 million in 2010, primarily due to:

(cid:127) incremental product sales revenue of $1,083.6 million, in the aggregate, from all 2010 acquisitions and all
2011  acquisitions,  primarily  from  the  Valeant,  PharmaSwiss,  Sanitas,  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4),  Afexa,  Ortho
Dermatologics and Dermik acquisitions. The incremental product sales revenue from the 2010 and 2011
acquisitions includes a negative foreign exchange impact of $59.0 million in  2011;

(cid:127) incremental product sales revenue of $103.1 million in 2012, related to growth from the existing business,
excluding the impact of generic competition in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment described below,
as well as an increase in alliance and royalty revenue of $137.4 million, mainly related to the incremental
royalty (IDP-111) revenue from Valeant of $64.3 million, alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second
quarter  of  2011  related  to  the  milestone  payment  from  GSK  in  connection  with  the  launch  of  Trobalt(cid:4)
and the alliance revenue of $36.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 on the out-license of the
Cloderm(cid:4)  product  rights  in  March  2011.  The  majority  of  this  increase  was  based  on  volume,  and  the
remainder was a result of pricing actions taken  during  2011 and  2010;  and

(cid:127) an increase in service revenue of $23.2 million, primarily from the Valeant and PharmaSwiss acquisitions.

39

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Those factors were partially offset by:
(cid:127) a  decrease  in  product  sales  of  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4),  Diastat(cid:4),  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD  and  Ultram(cid:4)  ER  in  the
U.S. Neurology and Other segment of $35.5 million, or 12%, in the aggregate, to $266.5 million in 2011,
compared with $302.0 million in 2010,  due to generic competition;

(cid:127) a negative foreign currency exchange  impact on the existing business  of $24.0 million in 2011; and

(cid:127) a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $5.4  million  in 2011.

Changes in Earnings

Net loss was $116.0 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $0.38) in 2012, compared with net income of
$159.6 million (basic and diluted earnings per share (‘‘EPS’’) of $0.52 and $0.49, respectively) in 2011, reflecting
the following factors:

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $371.1  million  in  amortization  expense  primarily  related  to  (i)  the  acquired  identifiable
intangible  assets  of  iNova,  Dermik,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  OraPharma,  Sanitas,  Gerot  Lannach,
PharmaSwiss  and  Medicis  of  $210.5  million,  in  the  aggregate,  in  2012,  and  (ii)  higher  amortization  of
ezogabine/retigabine  of  $109.8  million  in  2012,  which  was  reclassified  from  IPR&D  to  a  finite-lived
intangible asset in December 2011;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $246.7  million  in  restructuring,  integration  and  other  costs,  as  described  below  under

‘‘Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Restructuring, Integration and Other Costs’’;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $183.6  million  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense,  as  described  below  under

‘‘Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Selling, General and Administrative Expenses’’;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $140.4  million  in  interest  expense,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations —

Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Interest  Expense’’;

(cid:127) an increase of $80.7 million in in-process research and development impairments and other charges, as
described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations — Operating  Expenses — In-Process  Research  and
Development Impairments and Other Charges’’;

(cid:127) an increase of $73.9 million in cost of alliance and service revenues, as described below under ‘‘Results of

Operations — Operating Expenses — Cost of Alliance and  Service Revenues’’;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $45.6  million  in  acquisition-related  costs,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of

Operations — Operating Expenses — Acquisition-Related  Costs’’;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $44.9  million  in  legal  settlements,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations —

Operating Expenses — Legal Settlements’’;

(cid:127) a  net  realized  gain  of  $21.3  million  on  the  disposal  of  our  equity  investment  in  Cephalon,  Inc.
(‘‘Cephalon’’) realized in 2011 that did not similarly occur in 2012, as described below under ‘‘Results of
Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Gain (Loss)  on Investments, Net’’; and

(cid:127) a  $19.1  million  net  gain  realized  on  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  entered  in  connection  with  the
acquisitions of iNova and PharmaSwiss in 2011 that did not similarly occur in 2012, as described below
under ‘‘Results of  Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Foreign Exchange  and Other’’.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) an  increase  in  contribution  (product  sales  revenue  less  cost  of  goods  sold,  exclusive  of  amortization  of
intangible  assets)  of  $817.1  million,  mainly  related  to  the  incremental  contribution  of  Dermik,  iNova,
Ortho Dermatologics, Sanitas, OraPharma, Zovirax(cid:4), Medicis, PharmaSwiss, Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4), Probiotica
and Gerot Lannach;

40

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $100.6  million  in  recovery  of  income  taxes,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of

Operations — Income Taxes’’; and

(cid:127) a  decrease  of  $16.8  million  in  loss  on  extinguishment  of  debt,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of

Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Loss on  Extinguishment  of  Debt’’.

Net  income  increased  $367.8  million  to  $159.6  million  (basic  and  diluted  EPS  of  $0.52  and  $0.49,
respectively) in 2011, compared with net loss of $208.2 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $1.06) in 2010,
reflecting the following factors:

(cid:127) an  increase  in  contribution  (product  sales  revenue  less  cost  of  goods  sold,  exclusive  of  amortization  of
intangible  assets)  of  $833.5  million,  mainly  related  to  the  incremental  contribution  of  Valeant,
PharmaSwiss,  Sanitas,  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4),  Afexa,  Ortho  Dermatologics  and  Dermik.  In  addition,  the
increase was due to higher volumes and pricing for the Xenazine(cid:4) product and a lower supply price for
Zovirax(cid:4) inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective
with the acquisition of the U.S. rights to Zovirax(cid:4);

(cid:127) an increase in the recovery of income taxes of $149.5 million, mainly attributable to significant expenses
in the U.S., including but not limited to IPR&D charges, amortization, and interest expense. The U.S. has
the  highest  statutory  rate  relative  to  all  other  tax  jurisdictions  in  which  we  do  business,  resulting  in  an
overall net book tax recovery for the worldwide income tax provision;

(cid:127) an  increase  in  alliance  and  royalty  revenue  of  $137.4  million,  mainly  related  to  the  incremental  royalty
(IDP-111) revenue from Valeant of $64.3 million, alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter
of 2011 related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt(cid:4) and the
alliance  revenue  of  $36.0  million  recognized  in  the  first  quarter  of  2011  on  the  out-license  of  the
Cloderm(cid:4) product rights in March 2011;

(cid:127) decreases  of  $43.2  million  in  restructuring  charges  and  integration  costs,  as  described  below  under

‘‘Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Restructuring, Integration and Other Costs’’;

(cid:127) decreases  of  $40.8  million  in  legal  settlements,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations —

Operating Expenses — Legal Settlements’’;

(cid:127) a $21.3 million net realized gain on the disposal of our equity investment in Cephalon, which was realized
in  the  second  quarter  of  2011  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations — Non-Operating
Income (Expense) — Gain (loss) on Investments, Net’’); and

(cid:127) a  $19.1  million  net  gain  realized  on  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  entered  in  connection  with  the
acquisitions  of  iNova  and  PharmaSwiss  in  2011,  as  described  below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations —
Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Foreign  Exchange and Other’’.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) increases  of  $338.1  million  in  amortization  expense,  primarily  related  to  the  acquired  identifiable
intangible  assets  of  Valeant,  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4),  PharmaSwiss,  Zovirax(cid:4),  and  Sanitas  of  $331.8  million,  in
the aggregate, the impairment charges of $7.9 million and $19.8 million related to the write-down of the
carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less
costs  to  sell,  as  well  as  an  impairment  of  intangible  assets  of  $12.8  million  related  to  certain  OTC
products sold in Brazil;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $295.9  million  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense,  as  described  below  under

‘‘Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Selling, general and administrative’’;

(cid:127) increases of $248.7 million in interest expense, reflecting $243.4 million related to the legacy Valeant debt
assumed as of the Merger Date (partially reduced by the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the
first quarter of 2011) and the post-Merger issuances of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first

quarter of 2011, $25.3 million related to the borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility in the
third quarter of 2011 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities in the fourth quarter of
2011,  partially  offset  by  a  decrease  of  $19.2  million  in  interest  expense  related  to  the  repurchases  of
5.375%  Convertible  Notes  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’); and

(cid:127) increases  of  $20.0  million  in  in-process  research  and  development  impairments  and  other  charges.  We
recognized  IPR&D  impairment  charges  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011  of  $105.2  million,  as  described
below  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations — Operating  Expenses — In-Process  Research  and  Development
Impairments and Other Charges’’.

Cash Dividends

No dividends were declared or paid in 2012 and 2011. While our board of directors will review our dividend
policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the
covenants contained in the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement include restrictions
on  the  payment  of  dividends.  In  2010,  prior  to  the  Merger,  we  declared  cash  dividends  per  share  of  $0.28.
Following  the  Merger,  we  declared  the  post-Merger  special  dividend  of  $1.00  per  share,  which  was  paid  on
December 22, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Reportable Segments

As  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of  iNova  in  December  2011,  we  began  operating  in  five  new  territories:
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa, with a distribution business in Thailand, Taiwan
and  some  sub-Saharan  Africa  markets.  iNova  also  distributes  through  partners  in  China,  Korea  and  Japan.
Consequently, our Chief Executive Officer (‘‘CEO’’), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘‘CODM’’),
began to manage the business differently, which necessitated a realignment of the segment structure, effective in
the first quarter of 2012. Pursuant to this change, we now have four reportable segments: (i) U.S. Dermatology,
(ii)  U.S.  Neurology  and  Other,  (iii)  Canada  and  Australia  and  (iv)  Emerging  Markets.  Accordingly,  we  have
restated  prior  period  segment  information  to  conform  to  the  current  period  presentation.  The  following  is  a
brief description of our segments:

(cid:127) U.S.  Dermatology  consists  of  pharmaceutical  and  OTC  product  sales,  and  alliance  and  contract  service
revenues,  in  the  areas  of  dermatology  and  topical  medication,  aesthetics  (including  medical  devices),
dentistry, ophthalmology and podiatry.

(cid:127) U.S.  Neurology  and  Other  consists  of  sales  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.

(cid:127) Canada  and  Australia  consists  of  pharmaceutical  and  OTC  products  sold  in  Canada,  Australia  and

New Zealand.

(cid:127) Emerging  Markets  consists  of  branded  generic  pharmaceutical  products,  as  well  as  OTC  products  and
agency/in-licensing  arrangements  with  other  research-based  pharmaceutical  companies  (where  we
distribute  and  market  branded,  patented  products  under  long-term,  renewable  contracts).  Products  are
sold  primarily  in  Central  and  Eastern  Europe  (Poland,  Serbia,  and  Russia),  Latin  America  (Mexico,
Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other  Latin American markets),  Southeast  Asia and South Africa.

As  described  in  Item  1  titled  ‘‘Business’’  of  this  Form  10-K,  we  are  planning  to  change  our  segment  structure
effective in 2013.

Total  revenues  increased  $1,083.2  million,  or  44%,  to  $3,546.6  million  in  2012,  compared  with

$2,463.5 million in 2011, mainly attributable to the effect  of the following factors:

(cid:127) in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

(cid:127) the  incremental  product  sales  revenue  of  $492.3  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  all  2011  acquisitions
and  all  2012  acquisitions,  primarily  from  (i)  Dermik  (mainly  driven  by  BenzaClin(cid:4),  Carac(cid:4)  and
Sculptra(cid:4)  Aesthetics  product  sales)  and  Ortho  Dermatologics  (mainly  driven  by  Retin-A  Micro(cid:4)
product sales); and (ii) OraPharma, Medicis and University Medical  product sales;

(cid:127) an increase in product sales from the existing business of $137.0 million, or 32%, driven by continued
growth  of  the  core  dermatology  brands,  including  Zovirax(cid:4),  Elidel(cid:4),  Acanya(cid:4)  and  CeraVe(cid:4).  The
growth  of  these  seasonal  brands  has  increased  the  impact  of  seasonality  on  our  business,  particularly
during the third quarter ‘‘back to school’’ season;  and

(cid:127) alliance  revenue  of  $66.3  million  on  the  sale  of  the  IDP-111  and  5-FU  products  in  the  first  quarter

of 2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $56.2 million in 2012, including a decrease
of  $42.8  million  in  2012  related  to  IDP-111  royalty  revenue  as  a  result  of  the  sale  of  IDP-111  in
February 2012;

(cid:127) alliance  revenue  of  $43.0  million  in  2011,  primarily  related  to  the  $36.0  million  out-license  of  the

Cloderm(cid:4) product rights that did not similarly occur in  2012; and

Those factors were more than offset by:

(cid:127) a decrease in product sales of Cardizem(cid:4) CD, Diastat(cid:4), Ultram(cid:4) and Wellbutrin XL(cid:4) of $80.8 million,
or  28%,  in  the  aggregate,  to  $206.2  million  in  2012,  compared  with  $287.0  million  in  2011,  due  to
generic competition. We anticipate a continuing decline in sales of Cardizem(cid:4) CD and Diastat(cid:4) 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

(cid:127) alliance  revenue  of  $40.0  million  recognized  in  the  second  quarter  of  2011,  related  to  the  milestone

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a decrease in product sales of Cesamet(cid:4) of $35.0 million, or 54%, to $29.4 million in 2012, compared
with $64.4 million in 2011, due to the introduction of a generic version of Cesamet(cid:4) by a competitor in
March  2012.  We  anticipate  continuing  declines  in  Cesamet(cid:4)  product  sales  due  to  generic  erosion,
however the rate of decline is expected to decrease  in the future; and

(cid:127) a negative foreign currency exchange impact on  the existing business  of $2.0 million in 2012.

Segment Profit

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

The  following  table  displays  profit  by  segment  for  each  of  the  last  three  years,  the  percentage  of  each
segment’s  profit  compared  with  corresponding  segment  revenues  in  the  respective  year,  and  the  dollar  and
percentage change in the dollar amount  of each segment’s  profit. Percentages may  not  add due to rounding.

Total  segment  profit  increased  $161.6  million,  or  22%,  to  $882.3  million  in  2012,  compared  with

$720.7 million in 2011, mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

(cid:127) in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

(cid:127) an increase in contribution of $391.2 million, in the aggregate, from all 2011 acquisitions and all 2012
acquisitions, primarily from the product sales of Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, OraPharma, Medicis
and  University  Medical,  including  the  impact  of  acquisition  accounting  adjustments  related  to
inventory of $41.3 million, in the aggregate;  and

(cid:127) an increase in contribution from product sales from the existing business of $160.6 million (including a
favorable  impact  of  $7.8  million  related  to  the  Merger-related  acquisition  accounting  adjustments
related to inventory in 2011 that did not similarly occur in 2012), driven by (i) continued growth of the
core dermatology brands, including Zovirax(cid:4), Elidel(cid:4), Acanya(cid:4) and CeraVe(cid:4), and the growth of these
seasonal brands has increased the impact of seasonality on our business, particularly during the third
quarter ‘‘back to school’’ season and (ii) a lower supply price for Zovirax(cid:4) inventory purchased from
GSK,  as  a  result  of  the  new  supply  agreement  that  became  effective  with  the  acquisition  of  the
U.S. rights to Zovirax(cid:4), such that we  retain a  greater share of the economic  interest in the brand.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) an increase in operating expenses (including amortization expense) of $211.1 million in 2012, primarily

associated with the acquisitions of new businesses within the segment;

(cid:127) a  decrease  in  contribution  of  $72.3  million  in  2012,  primarily  related  to  divestitures  and
discontinuations. The largest contributor to the decrease was a reduction in IDP-111 royalty revenue of
$42.8 million in 2012, as a result of the sale of IDP-111  in February 2012; and

(cid:127) a decrease in service revenue contribution of $6.7 million in 2012.

(cid:127) an  increase  in  contribution  from  product  sales  from  the  existing  business,  excluding  the  declines
described below, of $33.3 million, including the impact from higher sales of Xenazine(cid:4) which carries a
lower margin than the rest of the neurology portfolio (also including a favorable impact of $9.3 million
related to the Merger-related acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory in 2011 that did
not similarly occur in 2012).

(cid:127) incremental  contribution  from  service  revenue  of  $3.6  million  in  2012,  primarily  from  the  Dermik

acquisition.

Those factors were more than offset by:

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost  of  goods  sold  includes:  manufacturing  and  packaging;  the  cost  of  products  we  purchase  from  third
parties; royalty payments we make to third parties; depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment; and
lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories. Cost of goods sold excludes the amortization of intangible
assets described separately below under ‘‘— Amortization of  Intangible Assets’’.

Cost  of  goods  sold  increased  $237.8  million,  or  35%,  to  $921.5  million  in  2012,  compared  with
$683.8 million in 2011. The percentage increase in cost of goods sold in 2012 was lower than the corresponding
47% increase in product sales in 2012,  respectively,  primarily due  to:

(cid:127) a  favorable  impact  from  product  mix  and  the  benefits  realized  from  worldwide  manufacturing

rationalization initiatives; and

(cid:127) the  effect  of  the  lower  supply  price  for  Zovirax(cid:4)  inventory  purchased  from  GSK  as  a  result  of  a  new
supply  agreement  that  became  effective  with  the  acquisition  of  the  U.S.  rights  to  Zovirax(cid:4),  which
favorably impacted cost of goods sold during  the first and second quarters of 2012.

These factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) an  unfavorable  foreign  exchange  impact  on  contribution,  as  the  foreign  exchange  benefit  to  Cost  of

Goods Sold was more than offset by the negative foreign exchange impact on product sales;
(cid:127) increased sales of Xenazine(cid:4)  which has a lower margin than the rest of  the neurology portfolio;
(cid:127) decreased  sales  of  Cesamet(cid:4)  in  Canada  which  has  a  higher  margin  than  the  rest  of  the  Canadian

portfolio; and

50

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(cid:127) the  impact  of  higher  acquisition  accounting  adjustments  of  $19.5  million,  to  $78.8  million  in  2012,
compared with $59.3 million in 2011, related to acquired inventories that were subsequently sold in 2012.

Cost  of  goods  sold  increased  $288.2  million,  or  73%,  to  $683.8  million  in  2011,  compared  with
$395.6 million in 2010. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 33% in 2010 to
28% in 2011, primarily due to the effect of a lower supply price for Zovirax(cid:4) inventory purchased from GSK, as
a  result  of  a  new  supply  agreement  that  became  effective  with  the  acquisition  of  the  U.S.  rights  to  Zovirax(cid:4),
which  favorably impacted cost of goods sold by $48.7 million in 2011.

Cost of Alliance and Service Revenues

Cost of alliance and services revenues reflects the costs associated with providing contract services to, and

generating alliance revenue from, external customers.

Cost of alliance and service revenues increased $73.9 million, or 172%, to $117.0 million in 2012, compared
with  $43.1  million  in  2011,  primarily  due  to  the  inclusion  of  the  carrying  amounts  of  the  IDP-111  and  5-FU
intangible assets of $69.2 million, in the aggregate, which were expensed on the sale of these products in the first
quarter of 2012, and the inclusion of cost of service revenue from Dermik of $35.7 million, partially offset by the
$30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm(cid:4) intangible asset, which was expensed on the out-license of the
product  rights in the first quarter of 2011.

Cost  of  alliance  and  service  revenues  increased  $32.9  million  to  $43.1  million  in  2011,  compared  with
$10.2  million  in  2010,  primarily  due  to  the  inclusion  of  the  $30.7  million  carrying  amount  of  the  Cloderm(cid:4)
intangible asset, which was expensed on  the out-license of the product rights in the first quarter of 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  include:  employee  compensation  costs  associated  with  sales
and  marketing,  finance,  legal,  information  technology,  human  resources,  and  other  administrative  functions;
outside  legal  fees  and  consultancy  costs;  product  promotion  expenses;  overhead  and  occupancy  costs;
depreciation of corporate facilities and equipment; and other general and administrative  costs.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $183.6  million,  or  32%,  to  $756.1  million  in  2012,
compared with $572.5 million in 2011 (as a percentage of revenue, Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 21% in 2012 as compared to 23%  in  2011), primarily due to:

(cid:127) increased  expenses  in  our  U.S  Dermatology  segment  ($112.9  million),  Canada  and  Australia  segment
($59.0  million)  and  Emerging  Markets  segment  ($48.2  million),  primarily  driven  by  the  acquisitions  of
new businesses within these segments.

This factor was partially offset by:

(cid:127) decreases  of  $24.9  million  in  share-based  compensation  expense  charged  to  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  in  2012,  primarily  due  to  the  vesting  of  performance  stock  units  as  a  result  of
achieving  specified  performance  criteria  recognized  in  2011  and  the  impact  of  the  stock  option
modification  recognized  in  the  first  quarter  of  2011,  partially  offset  by  an  incremental  charge  of
$4.8 million in 2012 as some of our performance-based RSU grants triggered a partial payout as a result
of  achieving  certain  share  price  appreciation  conditions.  Refer  to  note  17  to  the  2012  Financial
Statements for further details.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $295.9 million, or 107%, to $572.5 million in 2011,

compared with $276.5 million in 2010,  primarily  due to:

(cid:127) the addition of Valeant’s selling, general and administrative expenses, including incremental advertising
costs  of  $64.4  million,  partially  offset  by  the  realization  of  operating  synergies  and  cost  savings  from
the Merger;

51

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(cid:127) the  addition  of  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  relating  to  PharmaSwiss  ($60.8  million),

Sanitas ($13.4 million), Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4) ($2.5 million) and Afexa ($2.4 million);  and

(cid:127) increases  of  $45.6  million  in  share-based  compensation  expense  charged  to  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  in  2011,  including  an  increase  of  approximately  $21.5  million  related  to  the
amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into the Company
awards  and  the  equitable  adjustment  to  certain  vested  stock  option  awards,  in  connection  with  the
post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared and paid in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Research and Development Expenses

Expenses related to research and development programs include: employee compensation costs; overhead
and  occupancy  costs;  depreciation  of  research  and  development  facilities  and  equipment;  clinical  trial  costs;
clinical manufacturing and scale-up costs; and other third-party development  costs.

Research  and  development  expenses  increased  $13.4  million,  or  20%,  to  $79.1  million  in  2012,  compared
with $65.7 million in 2011, primarily reflecting spending for a Phase 4 study for Wellbutrin XL(cid:4) and life-cycle
management programs, partially offset by lower spending on ezogabine/retigabine reflecting the U.S. launch in
the second quarter of 2012 and the IDP-108 program (an antifungal targeted to treat onychomycosis, a fungal
infection  of  the  fingernails  and  toenails).  In  July  2012,  the  Company  submitted  an  NDA  with  the  FDA  for
IDP-108, also known as efinaconazole, and we have received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (‘‘PDUFA’’) date
of May 24, 2013 with respect to this application.

Research and development expenses declined $2.6 million, or 4%, to $65.7 million in 2011, compared with
$68.3 million in 2010, which was attributable to the net effect of the termination of certain of our specialty CNS
drug  development  programs  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2010  partially  offset  by  the  addition  of  a  full  year  of
Valeant’s research and development  expenses in  2011.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization  expense  increased  $371.1  million,  or  67%,  to  $928.9  million  in  2012,  compared  with
$557.8  million  in  2011,  primarily  due  to  (i)  the  amortization  of  the  iNova,  Dermik,  Ortho  Dermatologics,
OraPharma, Sanitas, Gerot Lannach, PharmaSwiss and Medicis identifiable intangible assets of $210.5 million,
in the aggregate, in 2012, (ii) higher amortization of ezogabine/retigabine of $109.8 million in 2012, which was
reclassified  from  IPR&D  to  a  finite-lived  intangible  asset  in  December  2011,  (iii)  impairment  charges  of
$31.3 million related to the write-down of the carrying values of intangible assets related to certain suncare and
skincare brands sold primarily in Australia, which are classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2012,
to their estimated fair values less costs to sell, (iv) an $18.7 million impairment charge related to the write-down
of  the  carrying  value  of  the  Dermaglow(cid:4)  intangible  asset,  which  is  classified  as  an  asset  held  for  sale  as  of
December  31,  2012,  to  its  estimated  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell,  and  (v)  impairment  charges  of  $13.3  million
related  to  the  discontinuation  of  certain  products  in  the  Brazilian  and  Polish  markets.  As  part  of  our  ongoing
assessment  of  potential  impairment  indicators  related  to  our  intangible  assets,  we  will  closely  monitor  the
performance of our product portfolio, including ezogabine/retigabine which is marketed under a collaboration
agreement with GSK and has an intangible asset with a carrying amount of $682.5 million as of December 31,
2012. If our assessment reveals indications of impairment to our assets, we may determine that an impairment
charge  is necessary and such charge  could  be  material.

Amortization  expense  increased  $338.1  million,  or  154%,  to  $557.8  million  in  2011,  compared  with
$219.8  million  in  2010,  primarily  due  to  (i)  the  amortization  of  the  Valeant,  PharmaSwiss,  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4),
Zovirax(cid:4),  and  Sanitas  identifiable  intangible  assets  of  $331.8  million,  in  the  aggregate,  in  2011;  and
(ii) $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the
IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively,  to  their  estimated fair values, less costs  to  sell.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Costs

We  recognized  restructuring,  integration,  and  other  costs  of  $344.4  million  in  2012,  compared  with
$97.7 million and $140.8 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily related to the Medicis acquisition, the
Merger, and other acquisitions. Refer to note 6 to the  2012 Financial Statements for further details.

In-Process Research and Development Impairments and Other  Charges

In-process  research  and  development  impairments  and  other  charges  represents  impairments  and  other
costs associated with compounds, new indications, or line extensions under development that have not received
regulatory  approval  for  marketing  at  the  time  of  acquisition.  IPR&D  acquired  through  an  asset  acquisition  is
written  off  at  the  acquisition  date  if  the  assets  have  no  alternative  future  use.  IPR&D  acquired  in  a  business
combination  is  capitalized  as  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  (irrespective  of  whether  these  assets  have  an
alternative  future  use)  until  completion  or  abandonment  of  the  related  research  and  development  activities.
Costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D assets are  expensed as incurred.

In  2012,  we  recorded  charges  of  $189.9  million,  primarily  due  to  (i)  $133.4  million  for  the  write-off  of  an
acquired IPR&D asset related to the IDP-107 dermatology program, which was acquired in September 2010 as
part  of  the  Merger,  (ii)  an  impairment  charge  of  $24.7  million  related  to  a  Xerese(cid:4)  life-cycle  product  due  to
higher  projected  development  spend  and  revised  timelines  for  potential  commercialization,  (iii)  $12.0  million
related to a payment to terminate a research and development commitment with a third party, (iv) $5.0 million
related to an upfront payment to acquire the North American rights to Emervel(cid:4), (v) $5.0 million related to the
IDP-108 program, including an upfront payment to expand our rights to IDP-108 to include additional territories
as well as a milestone payment, and (vi) $4.3 million related to the write-off of an acquired IPR&D asset related
to  the  termination  of  the  MC5  program  (a  topical  treatment  for  acne  vulgaris),  acquired  as  part  of  the  Ortho
Dermatologics acquisition in 2011. With respect to the IDP-107 program mentioned above, through discussion
with various internal and external Key Opinion Leaders, we completed our analysis of the Phase 2 study results
for IDP-107 during the third quarter of 2012. This led to our decision in the third quarter of 2012 to terminate
the program and fully impair the asset. As attempts to identify a partner for the program were not successful, we
do not believe the program has value to a  market  participant.

In 2011, we recorded charges of $109.2 million related to the impairment of acquired IPR&D assets relating
to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010, as well as the IDP-109
and  IDP-115  dermatology  programs  ($105.2  million).  The  impairment  charges  were  triggered  in  the  fourth
quarter  of  2011  due  to  unfavorable  study  results,  feedback  received  from  the  FDA  which  would  result  in  the
incurrence  of  higher  costs  to  perform  additional  studies,  reassessment  of  risk  and  the  probability  of  success,
and/or  pipeline  prioritization  decisions  resulting  in  the  re-allocation  of  our  resources  to  other  research  and
development  (‘‘R&D’’)  programs.  In  addition  in  2011,  we  recorded  a  charge  of  $4.0  million  related  to  the
acquisition of the Canadian rights to Lodalis(cid:5), which was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no
alternative future use.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs increased $45.6 million, to $78.6 million in 2012, compared with $33.0 million in
2011, reflecting increased acquisition activity during 2012, primarily driven by costs associated with the Medicis
acquisition.  The  Medicis  costs  included  $39.2  million  of  expenses  incurred  with  respect  to  an  agreement  with
Galderma  S.A  (‘‘Galderma’’)  which,  among  other  things,  resolved  all  claims  asserted  in  Galderma’s  pending
litigation  related  to  our  acquisition  of  Medicis.  Refer  to  note  3  to  the  2012  Financial  Statements  for  further
details.

Acquisition-related costs declined $5.3 million, or 14%, to $33.0 million in 2011, compared to $38.3 million
in  2010,  reflecting  lower  Merger-related  expenses  incurred  in  2011,  partially  offset  by  acquisition-related
expenses for PharmaSwiss, Sanitas, Dermik,  Ortho Dermatologics,  Afexa and iNova.

53

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Legal Settlements

In  2012,  we  recorded  legal  settlement  charges  of  $56.8  million,  primarily  due  to  a  settlement  of  antitrust
litigation and the associated legal fees.  Refer  to  note 24  to  the 2012 Financial Statements for further details.

In 2011, we recorded legal settlement charges of $11.8 million primarily due to the settlement of litigation

and disputes related to revenue-sharing  arrangements  with, or other  payment obligations  to,  third  parties.

In 2010, we recorded legal settlement charges of $52.6 million in connection with agreements or agreements

in principle to settle certain Biovail legacy  litigation  and  regulatory matters.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

In 2012, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration gain of $5.3 million, primarily driven
by (1) a net gain of $10.3 million related to the iNova acquisition due to changes in the estimated probability of
achieving the related milestones, partially offset by (2) a net loss of $6.5 million related to the Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)
license agreement entered into in June 2011, due to fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value
of  money,  partially  offset  by  changes  in  the  projected  revenue  forecast.  Refer  to  note  3  to  the  2012  Financial
Statements for further details.

In  2011,  we  recognized  an  acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  gain  of  $11.0  million,  primarily
driven  by  the  changes  in  fair  value  of  acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  as  follows:  (1)  a  gain  of
$13.2 million and $9.2 million related to the PharmaSwiss and Aton acquisitions, respectively, partially offset by
(2) a loss of $11.2 million related to the  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4) license agreement entered into in June 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $140.4 million, or 42%, to $473.4 million in 2012, compared with $333.0 million

in 2011, primarily reflecting the following:

(cid:127) interest expense of $167.9 million, in the aggregate, in 2012, related to the borrowings under our senior

secured credit facilities and our senior  notes.

54

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

This factor was partially offset by:

(cid:127) a  decrease  of  $10.7  million  in  2012,  related  to  the  repurchases  and  the  settlement  of  5.375%  senior
convertible  notes  due  2014  (the  ‘‘5.375%  Convertible  Notes’’)  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) a decrease of $10.0 million in 2012 due to the repayment of our previous term loan A facility in the first

quarter of 2011;

(cid:127) a decrease of $4.8 million in 2012 due to an adjustment to amortization of debt issuance costs related to a

prior period; and

(cid:127) a decrease of $4.4 million in 2012 related to the redemption of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due

2013 (the ‘‘4% Convertible Notes’’) in the second quarter of 2011.

Interest expense in 2012 includes non-cash amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs of

$28.2 million, in the aggregate.

Interest  expense  increased  $248.7  million  to  $333.0  million  in  2011,  compared  with  $84.3  million  in  2010,
reflecting $243.4 million related to the legacy Valeant debt assumed as of the Merger Date (partially reduced by
the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011) and the post-Merger issuances of senior
notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011, $25.3 million related to the borrowings under our
senior secured term loan facility in the third quarter of 2011 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit
facilities in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $19.2 million in interest expense related
to the repurchases of 5.375% Convertible Notes (as described below under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and
Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’). Interest expense in 2011 includes non-cash amortization of
debt discounts and deferred financing costs of  $25.6 million,  in the aggregate.

Write-Down of Deferred Financing Charges

In 2012, we recorded a write-off of $8.2 million of deferred financing costs primarily due to the termination
of  the  commitment  letter  entered  into  in  connection  with  the  financing  of  the  Medicis  acquisition.  Refer  to
note 14 to the 2012 Financial Statements for further details.

In  2011,  we  recorded  $1.5  million  of  charges  primarily  due  to  a  write-off  of  $1.0  million  of  deferred

financing costs as a result of the amendment and restatement of  the  credit agreement  on October 20, 2011.

In 2010, we recorded a write-off of $5.8 million of deferred financing costs as a result of the termination of

the Biovail secured revolving credit facility as of the  Merger Date.

Loss on  Extinguishment of Debt

In  2012,  we  recognized  losses  of  $20.1  million,  mainly  on  refinancing  of  our  term  loan  B  facility  on
October  2,  2012  and  the  settlement  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’).

In  2011,  we  recognized  losses  of  $36.8  million,  primarily  related  to  the  repurchase  of  a  portion  of  the
5.375% Convertible Notes ($31.6 million) (as described below under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources — 2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program  and  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program’’)  and  the  share
settlement  of  the  4.0%  Convertible  Notes  ($4.7  million)  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,
Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’).

In  2010,  we  recognized  losses  of  $32.4  million,  primarily  related  to  the  repurchase  of  a  portion  of  the
5.375% Convertible Notes ($20.7 million) (as described below under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources — 2010 Securities Repurchase Program’’) and on  the cash  settlement of the written call  options  on
our  common shares ($10.1 million).

Foreign Exchange and Other

Foreign exchange and other gain decreased $6.8 million, or 26%, to $19.7 million in 2012, compared with
$26.6 million in 2011. The gain in 2012 was primarily due to a gain of $29.4 million related to an intercompany
loan that was not designated as permanent in nature, and therefore the impact of changes in foreign currency
exchange  rates  was  recognized  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income.  As  of  December  31,  2012,
$24.0 million of the gain on the intercompany loan was realized, all of which was realized during the first quarter
of 2012. This was partially offset by the  translation losses from our  European operations in 2012.

Foreign exchange and other increased $26.0 million to $26.6 million in 2011, compared with $0.6 million in
2010, primarily due to the $16.4 million and $2.7 million net gains realized on foreign currency forward contracts
entered in connection with the acquisitions of iNova and PharmaSwiss, respectively,  in 2011.

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net

In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, we invested $60.0 million to acquire shares
of common stock of Cephalon. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, we disposed of our entire equity investment in Cephalon for
net  proceeds  of  $81.3  million,  which  resulted  in  a  net  realized  gain  of  $21.3  million  that  was  recognized  in
earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

In  August  2010,  we  disposed  of  our  entire  portfolio  of  auction  rate  securities  for  cash  proceeds  of
$1.4  million  and  recorded  a  loss  related  to  an  other-than-temporary  decline  in  the  estimated  fair  value  these
securities of $5.6 million in 2010.

NM — Not meaningful

In 2012, our effective tax rate was impacted by (i) the release of valuation allowance against a portion of the
deferred tax assets in respect of our Canadian tax attributes recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities
from  acquisition;  (ii)  the  increase  in  liabilities  for  uncertain  tax  positions;  (iii)  the  increase  of  taxable  foreign
income in Canada; (iv) non-deductible stock based compensation and realized foreign exchange gains where a
full  valuation  allowance  is  recorded  against  tax  loss  carryforwards,  (v)  income  earned  in  jurisdictions  with  a
lower statutory rate than in Canada; (vi) losses in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than in Canada,
and (vii) non-deductible transaction costs incurred in connection with  the Medicis  acquisition.

In each of the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010, we assessed the realizability of a portion of our deferred tax
assets  related  to  operating  loss  carryforwards  in  the  U.S.  In  2011,  management  determined  that  U.S.  federal
losses  previously  subject  to  a  valuation  allowance  due  to  limitation  restrictions  should  be  written  off  and  the
corresponding  valuation  allowance  reversed  as  of  December  31,  2011.  In  Canada,  we  released  valuation
allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets in respect of our Canadian tax attributes recognized to the

56

extent of deferred tax liabilities from acquisition. In 2010, the Merger resulted in U.S. federal and state tax loss
carryforwards  becoming  subject  to  the  ownership  change  limitations  of  the  U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Code  and
similar state legislation. As a result, we increased the valuation allowance by $45.4 million in the fourth quarter
of 2010, with a corresponding decrease to net income. In Canada, due to deferred tax liabilities arising from the
Merger,  we  reduced  valuation  allowance  by  $46.9  million  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2010,  with  a  corresponding
increase to net income. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance that was necessary, we considered
the amount of U.S. tax loss carryforwards, Canadian tax loss carryforwards, scientific research and experimental
development  pool,  and  investment  tax  credits  that  we  would  more  likely  than  not  be  able  to  utilize  based  on
future sources of income.

Fourth Quarter of 2012 Compared to  Fourth  Quarter  of 2011

Results of Operations

Total revenues increased $297.8 million, or 43%, to $986.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared

with $688.5 million in the fourth quarter  of 2011,  reflecting the following factors:

(cid:127) incremental  product  sales  revenue  of  $112.3  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  all  2011  acquisitions  in  the
fourth  quarter  of  2012,  primarily  from  Dermik,  iNova,  Ortho  Dermatologics  and  Afexa.  We  also
recognized  incremental  product  sales  revenue  of  $146.0  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  all  2012
acquisitions  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012,  primarily  from  Medicis,  OraPharma,  Probiotica,  Gerot
Lannach, J&J North America, Atlantis and University Medical. The incremental product sales revenue
from the 2011 and 2012 acquisitions includes a negative foreign exchange impact of $2.6 million, in the
aggregate, in the fourth quarter of 2012;

(cid:127) incremental product sales revenue of $74.5 million in 2012, related to growth from the existing business,
excluding the impact of generic competition in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment and the Canada
and Australia segment described below;

(cid:127) an increase in alliance revenue of $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 in our Emerging Markets

segment; and

(cid:127) incremental service revenue of $7.4 million in 2012,  primarily  from  the Dermik acquisition.

57

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Those factors were partially offset by:
(cid:127) decrease  in  product  sales  of  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD,  Diastat(cid:4)  and  Ultram(cid:4)  in  the  U.S.  Neurology  and  Other
segment  of  $18.4  million,  or  63%,  in  the  aggregate,  to  $10.9  million  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012,
compared with $29.3 million in the fourth  quarter  of 2011, due to generic  competition;

(cid:127) a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $17.5 million in 2012, including a decrease of
$12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, related to IDP-111 royalty revenue as a result of the sale of
IDP-111 in February 2012; and

(cid:127) decrease in product sales of Cesamet(cid:4) in the Canada and Australia segment of $16.0 million, or 91%, to
$1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, due
to generic competition.

Net loss was $89.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with net income of $55.9 million in the

fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting the following  factors:

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $172.5  million  in  restructuring,  integration  and  other  costs  primarily  related  to
restructuring  and  integration  costs  associated  with  the  Medicis  acquisition.  Refer  to  note  6  to  the  2012
Financial Statements for further details;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $106.7  million  in  amortization  expense  primarily  related  to  (i)  the  acquired  identifiable
intangible  assets  of  iNova,  Medicis,  OraPharma,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  Dermik  and  Gerot  Lannach  of
$51.2  million,  (ii)  higher  amortization  of  ezogabine/retigabine  of  $23.9  million,  which  was  reclassified
from  IPR&D  to  a  finite-lived  intangible  asset  in  December  2011,  and  (iii)  incremental  impairment
charges of $22.3 million related to the write-downs of held  for sale assets to their estimated fair values
less costs to sell. Refer to note 7 to the 2012 Financial Statements for additional information regarding
assets classified as held for sale and the related impairment charges;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $61.0  million  in  interest  expense,  mainly  related  to  the  issuances  of  senior  notes  in  the
fourth quarter of 2012 and the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities (as described below
under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $56.2  million  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  primarily  due  to  increased
expenses in our U.S. Dermatology segment ($34.5 million), Canada and Australia segment ($11.5 million)
and  Emerging  Markets  segment  ($11.4  million),  primarily  driven  by  the  acquisitions  of  new  businesses
within these segments;

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $32.5  million  in  acquisition-related  costs  primarily  driven  by  costs  associated  with  the

Medicis acquisition;

(cid:127) a $16.4 million gain realized on a foreign currency forward contract entered into in connection with the
iNova  acquisition  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011  that  did  not  similarly  occur  in  the  fourth  quarter  of
2012; and

(cid:127) a $14.1 million increase in loss on extinguishment of debt mainly related to the refinancing of our term

loan B facility on October 2, 2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) an  increase  in  contribution  (product  sales  revenue  less  cost  of  goods  sold,  exclusive  of  amortization  of
intangible assets) of $199.3 million, mainly related to the incremental contribution of Medicis, Dermik,
iNova, OraPharma, Ortho Dermatologics, Probiotica and Gerot Lannach;

(cid:127) a  decrease  of  $65.2  million  in  in-process  research  and  development  impairments  and  other  charges
mainly due to the write-off of the $105.2 million of acquired IPR&D assets relating to the A002, A004,
and  A006  programs  acquired  as  part  of  the  Aton  acquisition  in  2010,  as  well  as  the  IDP-109  and
IDP-115  dermatology  programs  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011  that  did  not  similarly  occur  in  the  fourth

58

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

quarter of 2012. This was partially offset by impairment charges recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012
as follows: (i) $24.7 million related to a Xerese(cid:4) life-cycle product due to higher projected development
spend  and  revised  timelines  for  potential  commercialization  and  (ii)  $5.0  million  related  to  an  upfront
payment to acquire the North American rights  to  Emervel(cid:4); and

(cid:127) an  increase  in  the  recovery  of  income  taxes  of  $52.9  million  primarily  due  to  fourth  quarter  2012

impairments and the Medicis related acquisition costs.

Cash Flows From Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $121.9 million, or 64%, to $67.9 million in the fourth

quarter of 2012, compared with $189.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011,  primarily due to:

(cid:127) higher  payments  of  $170.0  million  related  to  restructuring,  integration  and  other  costs  in  the  fourth

quarter of 2012, primarily driven by the Medicis  acquisition; and

(cid:127) a  decrease  in  contribution  of  $32.5  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD,  Cesamet(cid:4),

Ultram(cid:4) ER and Diastat(cid:4) product sales in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) an increase in cash from working capital of $27.6 million primarily related to (i) a decrease in accounts
receivable of $40.6 million due to the collections of accounts receivable that were outstanding as of the
end of third quarter of 2012, (ii) an increase in liabilities of $24.2 million related to the portion of Medicis
acquisition-related  costs  for  the  Galderma  agreement  (as  described  above  under 
‘‘Results  of
Operations — Operating  Expenses — Acquisition-Related  Costs’’) 
that  remained  unpaid  as  of
December 31, 2012, and (iii) the impact of the changes related to timing of other receipts and payments
in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  These  increases  in  cash  were  partially  offset  by  $105.5  million  of
payments  related  to  transaction-related  costs  (adviser  fees,  legal  fees,  and  compensation-related  costs
including  the  pay-out  of  stock  appreciation  rights)  incurred  by  legacy  Medicis  in  connection  with  the
acquisition;

(cid:127) the  inclusion  of  cash  flows  from  the  operations  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012  from  (i)  the  2011
acquisitions, primarily the Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa acquisitions, and (ii) all 2012
acquisitions,  primarily  the  acquisitions  of  Medicis,  OraPharma,  Probiotica  and  certain  assets  of  Gerot
Lannach, University Medical and Atlantis; and

(cid:127) incremental cash flows from continued growth in  the existing business.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  increased  $752.0  million  to  $916.1  million  as  of  December  31,  2012  compared

with $164.1 million at December 31,  2011,  which primarily reflected the  following sources of  cash:

(cid:127) $2,217.2  million  of  net  proceeds  on  the  issuance  of  senior  notes  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012
(as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources — Financial  Assets
(Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) $1,275.2  million  of  net  borrowings  under  our  senior  secured  term  loan  B  facility  (as  described  below

under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) $974.0  million  of  net  borrowings  under  our  incremental  term  loan  B  facility  (as  described  below  under

(cid:127) $656.6 million in operating cash flows, which includes the receipt of the $45.0 million milestone payment

from GSK in connection with the launch of Potiga(cid:5) in the second quarter of 2012;

(cid:127) the  proceeds  of  $615.4  million  on  the  sale  of  marketable  securities  assumed  in  connection  with  the

Medicis acquisition; and

(cid:127) $66.3 million of cash proceeds related to the sale of the IDP-111 and 5-FU products in the first quarter

of 2012.

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

(cid:127) $3,558.8  million  paid,  in  the  aggregate,  in  connection  with  the  purchases  of  businesses  and  intangible
assets,  mainly  in  respect  of  the  Medicis,  OraPharma,  Gerot  Lannach,  QLT,  J&J  North  America,
Probiotica, Atlantis, University Medical and  J&J  ROW  acquisitions;

(cid:127) $544.2  million  repayment  of  long-term  debt  assumed  in  connection  with  the  Medicis  acquisition  in

(cid:127) $62.1  million  related  to  the  settlement  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  in  the  third  quarter  of  2012
(as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources — Financial  Assets
(Liabilities)’’); and

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived  assets  increased  $3,275.5  million,  or  28%,  to  $14,912.8  million  as  of  December  31,  2012,

compared with $11,637.2 million at December 31,  2011, primarily due  to:

(cid:127) the inclusion of the identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment from the
2012  acquisitions  of  $4,185.7  million,  in  the  aggregate,  primarily  related  to  the  Medicis,  OraPharma,
Gerot  Lannach,  QLT,  J&J  North  America,  Probiotica,  University  Medical,  Atlantis  and  J&J  ROW
acquisitions;

(cid:127) an increase from foreign currency  exchange of $189.9  million; and

(cid:127) purchases of property, plant and equipment of $107.6 million.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets of $986.2 million

in the aggregate;

(cid:127) the  write-offs  of  IPR&D  assets  of  $162.4  million,  in  the  aggregate,  primarily  relating  to  the

IDP-107 dermatology program and a Xerese(cid:4)  life-cycle product;

(cid:127) the  carrying  amount  of  $60.5  million,  in  the  aggregate,  related  to  certain  suncare  and  skincare  brands

primarily sold in Australia, which were reclassified to assets held  for sale; and

(cid:127) the sale of a manufacturing facility acquired in the iNova transaction for $10.2 million in the third quarter

of 2012.

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt (including the current portion) increased $4,364.6 million, or 66%, to $11,015.6 million as

of December 31, 2012, compared with $6,651.0  million  at December 31, 2011, primarily  due  to:

(cid:127) net  borrowings  of  $2,217.2  million  on  the  issuance  of  senior  notes  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012
(as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources — Financial  Assets
(Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) $1,275.2  million  of  net  borrowings  under  our  senior  secured  term  loan  B  facility  (as  described  below

under ‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) $974.0  million  of  net  borrowings  under  our  incremental  term  loan  B  facility  (as  described  below  under

‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial  Assets (Liabilities)’’); and

(cid:127) the  inclusion  of  the  assumed  long-term  debt  of  Medicis  of  $778.0  million  (as  described  below  under

‘‘Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial  Assets (Liabilities)’’).

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) $544.2  million  repayment  of  long-term  debt  assumed  in  connection  with  the  Medicis  acquisition  in

December 2012;

(cid:127) $220.0  million  repayment  under  our  revolving  credit  facility  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’  equity  decreased  $212.4  million,  or  5%,  to  $3,717.4  million  as  of  December  31,  2012,

compared with $3,929.8 million at December 31,  2011, primarily due  to:

(cid:127) a decrease of $280.7 million related to the  repurchase of our common shares  in 2012;

(cid:127) a net loss of $116.0 million; and

(cid:127) a decrease of $43.8 million related to the  settlement of the 5.375% Convertible Notes in  2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a  positive  foreign  currency  translation  adjustment  of  $161.0  million  to  other  comprehensive  income
(loss),  mainly  due  to  the  impact  of  a  weakening  of  the  U.S.  dollar  relative  to  a  number  of  other
currencies,  including  the  Polish  zloty,  Mexican  peso,  Canadian  dollar  and  Lithuanian  litas,  which
increased  the  reported  value  of  our  net  assets  denominated  in  those  currencies,  partially  offset  by  the
impact of a strengthening of the U.S. dollar  relative  to  Brazil real and Australian dollar;  and

Operating Activities

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  increased  $16.1  million,  or  3%,  to  $656.6  million  in  2012,

compared with $640.5 million in 2011,  primarily  due  to:

(cid:127) the inclusion of cash flows in 2012 from all 2011 acquisitions, primarily Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4), Sanitas, Dermik,
Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa and iNova, as well as all 2012 acquisitions, primarily Medicis, OraPharma,
Probiotica and certain assets of Gerot Lannach, University Medical and Atlantis, partially offset by the
negative impact of foreign exchange related to these acquisitions  and the existing business;

62

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(cid:127) an increase in cash flows from the operations of PharmaSwiss due to the full year-to-date impact in 2012;
(cid:127) the receipt of the $45.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Potiga(cid:5) in

the second quarter of 2012; and

(cid:127) incremental cash flows from continued  growth in  the existing business.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) higher payments of $236.4 million related to restructuring, integration and other costs in 2012, primarily

driven by the Medicis acquisition;

(cid:127) a  decrease  of  $173.1  million  related  to  higher  interest  paid  on  long-term  debt,  mainly  related  to  the

borrowings under our senior secured credit  facilities and our  senior notes;

(cid:127) an  increased  investment  in  working  capital  of  $116.2  million  primarily  related  to  (i)  $105.5  million  of
payments  related  to  transaction-related  costs  (adviser  fees,  legal  fees,  and  compensation-related  costs
including  the  pay-out  of  stock  appreciation  rights)  incurred  by  legacy  Medicis  in  connection  with  the
acquisition,  (ii)  investments  of  $68.8  million  in  inventory  to  support  growth  of  the  business  and
manufacturing  integration  initiatives,  and  (iii)  an  increase  of  $54.9  million  in  accounts  receivable,
reflecting the growth of the business. These decreases in cash were partially offset by (i) an increase in
liabilities  of  $24.2  million  related  to  the  portion  of  Medicis  acquisition-related  costs  for  the  Galderma
agreement  (as  described  above  under  ‘‘Results  of  Operations — Operating  Expenses — Acquisition-
Related  Costs’’)  that  remained  unpaid  as  of  December  31,  2012,  and  (ii)  the  impact  of  the  changes
related to timing of other receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business;

(cid:127) a  decrease  in  contribution  of  $105.1  million,  in  the  aggregate,  from  Cardizem(cid:4)  CD,  Cesamet(cid:4),

Ultram(cid:4) ER, Diastat(cid:4) and Wellbutrin XL (cid:4) product sales in 2012;

(cid:127) the receipt of the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt(cid:4) in

the second quarter of 2011;

(cid:127) an  increase  in  payments  of  legal  settlements  and  related  costs  of  $15.3  million  mainly  related  to  the

settlement of antitrust litigation in the  second quarter  of 2012; and

(cid:127) a  $12.0  million  payment  related  to  the  termination  of  a  research  and  development  commitment  with  a

third party.

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  increased  $377.3  million,  or  143%,  to  $640.5  million  in  2011,

compared with $263.2 million in 2010,  primarily due to:

(cid:127) an increase in cash flows from the  operations of Valeant due  to  the  full year impact in 2011;
(cid:127) the inclusion of cash flows from the operations of PharmaSwiss, Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4), Sanitas, Dermik, Ortho

Dermatologics and Afexa in 2011;

(cid:127) the receipt of the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt(cid:4);
(cid:127) the increased contribution from Xenazine(cid:4) and Zovirax(cid:4) product sales of $38.1 million and $94.0 million,

respectively, in 2011; and

(cid:127) a decrease in legal settlement payments of $17.9  million.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a decrease of $210.2 million related to higher interest paid on long-term debt, mainly due to the issuance

of the senior notes in the first quarter of 2011; and

(cid:127) a decrease of $189.8 million related to changes in accounts receivable reflecting higher sales in the fourth
quarter  of  2011,  the  receivable  from  ValueAct  related  to  withholding  taxes  on  the  March  2011  share

repurchase, additions of Dermik and Ortho Dermatologics accounts receivable and timing of receipts in
the normal course of business.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $157.2 million, or 6%, to $2,965.7 million in 2012, compared

with $2,808.5 million in 2011, primarily  due to:

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $767.2  million  in  the  aggregate,  related  to  the  purchases  of  businesses  (net  of  cash

acquired) and intangible assets in the aggregate;

(cid:127) an increase of $49.1 million in purchases of  property,  plant and equipment;

(cid:127) an increase of $36.0 million related to the receipt of the up-front payment related to the out-license of

Cloderm(cid:4) in 2011 that did not similarly occur in 2012; and

(cid:127) a net increase of $21.3 million on the disposal of the Cephalon common stock in the first nine months of
2011, representing the excess of the $81.3 million in net proceeds received over the $60.0 million paid in
2011 to acquire the shares, which did not similarly occur  in 2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a  decrease  of  $615.4  million  attributable  to  the  proceeds  related  to  the  sale  of  marketable  securities

assumed in connection with the Medicis acquisition; and

(cid:127) a decrease of $66.3 million attributable to the cash proceeds related to the sale of the IDP-111 and 5-FU

products in the first quarter of 2012.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  $2,808.5  million  in  2011,  compared  with  net  cash  provided  by

investing activities of $228.9 million in  2010, reflecting  an increase of  3,037.4 million, primarily due to:

(cid:127) payments  of  $2,791.5  million,  in  the  aggregate,  related  to  the  purchases  of  businesses  (net  of  cash
the  PharmaSwiss,  Sanitas,  Zovirax(cid:4),

acquired)  and 
Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4), Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics,  Afexa and iNova  acquisitions in 2011;

intangible  assets,  mainly 

in  respect  of 

(cid:127) the  non-recurrence  of  net  cash  acquired  in  the  acquisition  of  Valeant  in  the  prior  year  of

$309.0 million; and

(cid:127) an increase of $41.7 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a decrease of $61.2 million primarily related to the acquisition of certain specialty CNS drug development

programs in 2010 that did not similarly occur  in 2011;

(cid:127) the  receipt  of  the  $36.0  million  upfront  payment  related  to  the  out-license  of  the  Cloderm(cid:4)  product

rights; and

(cid:127) a net gain of $21.3 million on the disposal of the Cephalon common stock, representing the excess of the

$81.3 million in net proceeds received over  the $60.0 million paid to acquire  the shares.

Financing Activities

Net  cash  provided  by  financing  activities  increased  $1,109.2  million,  or  57%,  to  $3,057.4  million  in  2012,

compared with $1,948.2 million in 2011,  primarily  due  to:

(cid:127) an  increase  related  to  net  proceeds  of  $2,217.2  million  from  the  issuance  of  senior  notes  in  the  fourth
quarter  of  2012  (as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources —
Financial Assets (Liabilities)’’);

64

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

(cid:127) an  increase  of  $1,275.2  million  of  net  borrowings  under  our  senior  secured  term  loan  B  facility
(as  described  below  under  ‘‘Financial  Condition,  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources — Financial  Assets
(Liabilities)’’);

(cid:127) an increase of $974.0 million of net borrowings under our incremental term loan B facility (as described

(cid:127) an increase of $975.0 million related to the  repayment of our  previous term loan A facility in  2011;

(cid:127) an increase of $28.6 million related to lower employee withholding taxes paid on the exercise of employee

share-based awards in 2012.

Those factors were partially offset by:

(cid:127) a decrease of $2,287.6 million related to net borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2011 under our senior
secured term loan A facility, including a $111.3 million repayment under our senior secured term loan A
facility in 2012;

(cid:127) a  decrease  related  to  net  proceeds  of  $2,139.7  million  from  the  issuance  of  senior  notes  in  the  first

quarter of 2011;

(cid:127) an  increase  related  to  net  proceeds  of  $2,139.7  million  from  the  issuance  of  senior  notes  in  the  first

On  February  13,  2012,  we  and  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  as  guarantors  entered  into  the  Third  Amended
and  Restated  Credit  and  Guaranty  Agreement  (the  ‘‘Credit  Agreement’’)  with  a  syndicate  of  financial
institutions and investors. As of that date, the Credit Agreement provided for a $275.0 million revolving credit
facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing
line loans (the ‘‘Revolving Credit Facility’’), a $2.225 billion senior secured term loan A facility (the ‘‘Term Loan
A Facility’’) and a $600.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the ‘‘Term Loan B Facility’’). The Revolving
Credit Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and does not amortize. The Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20,
2016  and  began  amortizing  quarterly  on  March  31,  2012  at  an  initial  annual  rate  of  5.0%.  The  amortization
schedule  under  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility  will  increase  to  10.0%  annually  commencing  March  31,  2013  and
20.0%  annually  commencing  March  31,  2014,  payable  in  quarterly  installments.  The  Term  Loan  B  Facility
matures on February 13, 2019 and began amortizing quarterly on June 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0%. As of
December 31, 2012, $2,083.5 million in  term loans was outstanding under the Term Loan A  Facility.

On  June  14,  2012,  we  and  certain  of  our  subsidiaries  as  guarantors  entered  into  a  joinder  agreement  to
increase  the  Term  Loan  B  Facility  by  $600.0  million  of  incremental  term  loans  to  $1.2  billion.  In  addition,  on
July 9, 2012, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a joinder agreement to increase the

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Term Loan B Facility by an additional $100.0 million of incremental term loans to $1.3 billion (the Term Loan B
Facility  as  so  amended,  the  ‘‘Amended  Term  Loan  B  Facility’’).  The  incremental  term  loans  mature  on
February 13, 2019, began amortizing quarterly on September 30, 2012 at an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms
that are consistent with our Term Loan  B Facility.

On  June  29,  2012,  we  distributed  a  notice  of  redemption  to  holders  of  our  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  to
redeem  all  of  the  outstanding  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  on  August  2,  2012  (the  ‘‘Redemption  Date’’),  at  a
redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date. On August 1, 2012, all of the outstanding 5.375% Convertible Notes were
converted  by  holders,  and  on  September  5,  2012,  they  were  settled  100%  in  cash  in  the  aggregate  amount  of
$62.1  million.  Immediately  prior  to  settlement,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  liability  component  of  the  5.375%
Convertible Notes was $16.0 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $18.3 million.
The  difference  of  $2.3  million  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability
component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended September 30,
2012. The difference of $43.8 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $18.3 million
and  the  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $62.1  million  resulted  in  charges  to  additional  paid-in  capital  and
accumulated deficit of $0.2 million and  $43.6 million, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Medicis, we and our subsidiary, Valeant, entered into a commitment
letter,  dated  as  of  September  2,  2012,  with  JPMorgan  Chase  Bank,  N.A.  and  J.P.  Morgan  Securities  LLC  to
provide up to $2.75 billion through a bridge loan facility. On September 11, 2012, we and Valeant entered into
an amended and restated commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
other  financial  institutions.  Subsequently,  we  obtained  $2.75  billion  in  financing  through  a  syndication  of
$1.0 billion in incremental term loan B loans under our existing senior secured credit facilities and the issuance
of  the  6.375%  senior  notes  due  2020  (the  ‘‘2020  Senior  Notes’’)  in  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of
$1.75 billion. Consequently, the commitment under the commitment letter to provide the bridge loan facility was
not utilized and terminated on December 11, 2012, concurrently with the closing of the Medicis acquisition. As a
result, we have written off $8.0 million  of deferred financing costs.

On September 11, 2012, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement
to increase the amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by $175.0 million to an aggregate of
$450.0  million  (the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  as  so  amended,  the  ‘‘New  Revolving  Credit  Facility’’).  As  of
December 31, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under the New  Revolving  Credit  Facility.

On September 25, 2012, our subsidiary in Brazil entered into an uncommitted unsecured line of credit with
a  financial  institution  for  total  availability  of  R$21.9  million  ($10.7  million  at  December  31,  2012).  This
uncommitted  line  of  credit  bears  an  interest  rate  of  the  Interbank  Deposit  Certificate  Rate  plus  0.23%  per
month  and  was  renewed  on  February  26,  2013.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  $10.5  million  of
borrowings under this line of credit.

On October 2, 2012, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement to
reprice  and  refinance  the  then  outstanding  Amended  Term  Loan  B  Facility  (‘‘Repricing  Transaction’’)  by
issuance of $1.3 billion in incremental term loans (the ‘‘New Term Loan B Facility’’). The applicable margin for
the  incremental  term  loans  under  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  is  2.25%  with  respect  to  base  rate  loans  and
3.25%  with  respect  to  LIBO  rate  loans,  subject  to  a  1.0%  LIBO  rate  floor.  The  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility
matures on February 13, 2019, begins amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 1.0% and has
other terms consistent with the Amended Term Loan B Facility. In connection with the Repricing Transaction,
we  paid  a  prepayment  premium  of  approximately  $13.0  million,  equal  to  1.0%  of  the  refinanced  term  loans
under the Amended Term Loan B Facility. In addition, repayments of outstanding loans under the New Term
Loan  B  Facility  in  connection  with  certain  refinancings  on  or  prior  to  October  2,  2013  require  a  prepayment
premium  of  1.0%  of  such  loans  prepaid.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  $1,275.2  million  in  term  loans  was
outstanding under the New Term Loan B  Facility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

On October 4, 2012, VPI Escrow Corp. (the ‘‘Issuer’’), a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant
issued $1,750.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes in a private placement. The 2020
Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2020. The 2020 Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6.375% per year,
which  is  payable  semi-annually  in  arrears  on  April  15  and  October  15,  commencing  on  April  15,  2013.  In
connection with the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes, we incurred approximately $26.3 million in underwriting
fees,  which  are  recognized  as  debt  issue  discount,  which  resulted  in  the  net  proceeds  of  $1,723.7  million.  The
proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes were utilized to fund (i) the transactions contemplated by
an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Medicis (the ‘‘Merger Agreement’’), (ii) Medicis’ obligation to pay the
conversion consideration with respect to, or repurchase of, its outstanding notes, and (iii) transaction costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement. An amount equal to the gross proceeds, together
with  cash  in  an  amount  sufficient  to  fund  the  special  mandatory  redemption  payment  (when  and  if  due)  were
deposited  into  a  segregated  escrow  account  and  were  held  as  collateral  security  for  the  Issuer’s  obligations  in
respect of the 2020 Senior Notes during the escrow period. At the time of the closing of the Medicis acquisition,
(1) the Issuer merged with and into Valeant, with Valeant continuing as the surviving corporation, (2) Valeant
assumed all of the Issuer’s obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes and the related indenture and (3) the funds
previously held in  escrow were released  to  us and were  used to finance the  Medicis acquisition.

Concurrently with the offering of the 2020 Senior Notes on October 4, 2012, Valeant issued $500.0 million
aggregate  principal  amount  of  6.375%  senior  notes  due  2020  (the  ‘‘6.375%  Senior  Notes’’)  in  a  private
placement. The 6.375% Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2020. The 6.375% Senior Notes accrue interest at
the rate of 6.375% per year, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, commencing
on  April  15,  2013.  In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  6.375%  Senior  Notes,  we  incurred  approximately
$7.5 million in underwriting fees, which are recognized as debt issue discount, which resulted in the net proceeds
of  $492.5  million.  Valeant  intends  to  use  the  net  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  the  6.375%  Senior  Notes  for
general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions.

In  connection  with  the  Medicis  acquisition,  on  December  11,  2012,  the  Company  issued  $1.0  billion  in
incremental term B loans (the ‘‘Incremental Term Loan B Facility’’ and together with the New Revolving Credit
Facility, the New Term Loan B Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, the ‘‘Senior Secured Credit Facilities’’).
The applicable margin for the incremental term loans under the Incremental Term Loan B Facility is 2.25% with
respect to base rate loans and 3.25% with respect to LIBO rate loans, subject to a 1.0% LIBO rate floor. The
Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  matures  on  December  11,  2019,  begins  amortizing  quarterly  on  March  31,
2013  at  an  annual  rate  of  1.0%  and  has  terms  consistent  with  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility.  Repayments  of
outstanding  loans  under  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  in  connection  with  certain  refinancings  on  or  prior
December  11,  2013  require  a  prepayment  premium  of  1.0%  of  such  loans  prepaid.  As  of  December  31,  2012,
$974.0 million in term loans was outstanding under  the Incremental  Term Loan B Facility.

In connection with the acquisition of Medicis, we assumed Medicis’ outstanding long-term debt, including
current  portion,  of  approximately  $778.0  million  at  the  Medicis  acquisition  date.  The  Medicis  long-term  debt,
including  current  portion  is  comprised  of  the  following:  (i)  1.375%  convertible  senior  notes  due  June  1,  2017
(the ‘‘1.375% Convertible Notes’’), (ii) 2.50% contingent convertible senior note due June 4, 2032 (the ‘‘2.50%
Convertible  Notes’’)  and  (iii)  1.50%  contingent  convertible  senior  notes  due  June  4,  2033  (the  ‘‘1.50%
Convertible Notes’’).

1.375% Convertible Notes

The 1.375% Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2017 and pay 1.375% annual cash interest, payable
semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1. As of December 31, 2012, $228.6 million principal amount
of  the  1.375%  Convertible  Notes  were  outstanding.  The  1.375%  Convertible  Notes  are  senior  unsecured
obligations of Medicis and are not guaranteed by Valeant or any of its or Medicis’ subsidiaries. These notes do
not contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the incurrence of additional indebtedness and do not
contain any financial covenants. From the acquisition date of December 11, 2012 through to December 31, 2012,
$318.1 million principal amount of the 1.375% Convertible Notes were converted into cash. The acquisition of

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Medicis constitutes a fundamental change and a make-whole adjustment event under the terms of the 1.375%
Convertible  Notes.  The  effective  date  of  the  fundamental  change  and  make-whole  adjustment  event  is
December 11, 2012. As a result of the acquisition of Medicis, holders of these convertible notes had the right to
require from us to (i) repurchase the 1.375% Convertible Notes by January 24, 2013 at a fundamental change
repurchase  price  of  $1,002.10  per  $1,000  principal  amount;  (ii)  surrender  the  notes  for  conversion  for  the
make-whole adjustment by January 24, 2013 at a make-whole conversion price of $1,093.32 per $1,000 principal
amount; or (iii) surrender the notes for the regular conversion by January 25, 2013 at a regular conversion price
of  $934.68  per  $1,000  principal  amount.  Following  January  25,  2013,  the  1.375%  Convertible  Notes  are
convertible,  at  the  holder’s  option,  prior  to  the  close  of  business  on  the  business  day  immediately  preceding
March  1,  2017  in  the  following  circumstances:  (1)  during  the  five  consecutive  trading  day  period  immediately
following any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price of the 1.375% Convertible Notes per
$1,000  principal  amount  for  each  such  trading  day  was  less  than  98%  of  the  regular  conversion  price;  and
(2) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, $228.4 million
principal amount of the 1.375% Convertible Notes were converted.

2.50% Convertible Notes

The  2.50%  Convertible  Notes  are  senior  unsecured  obligations  of  Medicis  and  are  not  guaranteed  by
Valeant  or  any  of  its  or  Medicis’  subsidiaries.  These  notes  do  not  contain  any  restrictions  on  the  payment  of
dividends  or  the  incurrence  of  additional  indebtedness  and  do  not  contain  any  financial  covenants.  As  of
December 31, 2012, $5.1 million principal amount of the 2.50% Convertible Notes were outstanding. From the
acquisition  date  of  December  11,  2012  through  to  December  31,  2012,  $226.0  million  principal  amount  of  the
2.50% Convertible Notes were converted into cash. The acquisition of Medicis constitutes a change of control
under  the  2.50%  Convertible  Notes.  The  effective  date  of  the  change  of  control  is  December  11,  2012.  As  a
result  of  the  acquisition  of  Medicis,  holders  of  these  convertible  notes  had  the  right  to  require  from  us  to
(i)  repurchase  the  2.50%  Convertible  Notes  by  January  22,  2013  at  a  change  of  control  purchase  price  of
$1,004.42  per  $1,000  principal  amount;  or  (ii)  surrender  the  2.50%  Convertible  Notes  for  conversion  by
December  26,  2012  at  a  conversion  price  of  $1,514.63  per  $1,000  principal  amount.  In  addition,  we  provided
notice to the holders of the 2.50% Convertible Notes that we would redeem all remaining outstanding notes on
February 11, 2013, at a redemption price, payable in cash, of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any. Holders of the 2.50% Convertible Notes could surrender
these notes for conversion on or before February 7, 2013. On February 11, 2013, all of the outstanding 2.50%
Convertible Notes were converted by holders and settled 100% in cash in the aggregate amount of $5.1 million.

1.50% Convertible Notes

As of December 31, 2012, $0.1 million principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes were outstanding.
The 1.50% Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Medicis and are not guaranteed by Valeant or
any of its or Medicis’ subsidiaries. These notes do not contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends or
the incurrence of additional indebtedness and do not contain any financial covenants. From the acquisition date
of December 11, 2012 through to December 31, 2012, $0.1 million principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible
Notes were converted into cash. The acquisition of Medicis constitutes a change of control under the terms of
the 1.50% Convertible Notes. The effective date of the change of control is December 11, 2012. As a result of
the acquisition of Medicis, holders of these convertible notes had the right to require from us to (i) repurchase
the 1.50% Convertible Notes by January 22, 2013 at a change of control purchase price of $1,002.94 per $1,000
principal  amount;  or  (ii)  surrender  the  1.50%  Convertible  Notes  for  conversion  by  December  26,  2012  at  a
conversion price of $1,135.19 per $1,000 principal amount. In addition, we provided notice to the holders of the

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

On January 24, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into Amendment No. 3 to the
Credit Agreement to reprice the Term Loan A Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility. As amended, the
applicable  margins  for  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility  and  the  New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  each  were  reduced
by 0.75%.

On February 21, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the
Credit Agreement to effectuate a repricing of the New Term Loan B Facility and the Incremental Term Loan B
Facility  (the  ‘‘Term  Loan  B  Repricing  Transaction’’)  by  the  issuance  of  $1.3  billion  and  $1.0  billion  in  new
incremental  term  loans  (the  ‘‘Repriced  Term  Loan  B  Facilities’’).  Term  loans  under  the  New  Term  Loan  B
Facility  ($1.3  billion)  and  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  ($1.0  billion)  were  either  exchanged  for,  or
repaid with the proceeds of, the Repriced Term Loan B Facilities. The applicable margins for borrowings under
the Repriced Term Loan B Facilities are 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to
LIBO  rate  borrowings,  subject  to  a  0.75%  LIBO  rate  floor.  The  incremental  term  loans  under  the  Repriced
Term Loan B Facilities mature on February 13, 2019 ($1.3 billion) and December 11, 2019 ($1.0 billion), begin
amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms consistent with the New Term
Loan  B  Facility  and  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility,  respectively.  In  connection  with  the  refinancing  of
the New Term Loan B Facility and the Incremental Term Loan B Facility pursuant to the Term Loan B Repricing
Transaction,  we  paid  a  prepayment  premium  of  approximately  $23.0  million,  equal  to  1.0%  of  the  refinanced
term loans under the New Term Loan B Facility and Incremental Term Loan B Facility. In addition, repayments
of  outstanding  loans  under  the  Repriced  Term  Loan  B  Facilities  in  connection  with  certain  refinancings  on  or
prior to August 21, 2013 require a prepayment premium of 1.0% of such loans  prepaid.

The senior notes issued by Valeant are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally
guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is
a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be
required to guarantee the senior notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $7,003.6 million and
total liabilities of $2,009.4 million as of December 31, 2012, and net revenues of $936.3 million and net loss from
operations of $169.0 million for the year  ended December 31, 2012.

Our  primary  sources  of  liquidity  are  our  cash  flows  from  operations  and  issuances  of  long-term  debt
securities.  We  believe  that  existing  cash  and  cash  generated  from  operations  and  funds  available  under  the
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  will  be  sufficient  to  meet  our  current  liquidity  needs.  We  have  no  material
commitments 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  or  for  other  general  corporate
purposes. In January 2012, Moody’s Investor Services (‘‘Moody’s’’) downgraded our senior secured debt rating
from  Baa3  to  Ba1.  At  the  same  time,  Moody’s  reaffirmed  our  Corporate  Family  rating  (Ba3)  and  our  senior
unsecured debt rating (B1). On September 5, 2012, following the announcement of our planned acquisition of
Medicis, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed our Corporate Family rating (BB) and our senior unsecured debt rating
(BB(cid:6)).  On  September  13,  2012,  Moody’s  reaffirmed  our  Corporate  Family  rating  (Ba3)  and  our  senior
unsecured  debt  rating  (B1).  A  further  downgrade  would  increase  our  cost  of  borrowing  and  may  negatively
impact our ability to raise additional debt  capital.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of our covenants related to our outstanding debt.
As of December 31, 2012, our short-term portion of long-term debt consisted of $480.2 million, in the aggregate,
primarily in term loans outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and the New Term Loan B Facility, due in
quarterly  installments  and  the  Medicis  convertible  notes.  In  addition,  we  have  outstanding  short-term
borrowings of $10.5 million under our uncommitted unsecured line of credit. We believe our existing cash and
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover these short-term debt maturities as they become due.

2010 Securities Repurchase Program

On  November  4,  2010,  we  announced  that  the  board  of  directors  had  approved  a  securities  repurchase

senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in
our financing agreements and applicable law. On August 29, 2011, we announced that the board of directors had
approved  an  increase  of  $300.0  million  under  our  securities  repurchase  program  (the  ‘‘2010  Securities
Repurchase Program’’). As a result, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program, we were able to repurchase
up to $1.8 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that may be
issued  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  program.  The  2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program  terminated  on
November 7, 2011.

In 2011, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased $203.8 million aggregate principal

amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for  an aggregate  purchase price of $619.4 million.

In March 2011, we repurchased 7,366,419 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase
price of $274.8 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As of December 31, 2012, we had
recorded  a  $21.8  million  receivable  from  ValueAct  in  relation  to  withholding  taxes  on  the  March  2011
repurchase, and we received payment of this amount in January 2013 from ValueAct to resolve this matter. In
May 2011, our subsidiary purchased 4,498,180 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase
price of $224.8 million. In June 2011, we purchased these common shares from our subsidiary, and the common
shares were subsequently cancelled. G. Mason Morfit is a partner and a member of the Management Committee
of ValueAct Capital. Mr. Morfit joined our board of directors on September 28, 2010, effective with the Merger,
and prior thereto served as a member of Valeant’s board of directors since 2007. ValueAct Capital is the general
partner  and  the  manager  of  ValueAct.  In  addition  to  the  ValueAct  repurchases,  in  2011,  under  the  2010
Securities  Repurchase  Program,  we  repurchased  1,800,000  of  our  common  shares  for  an  aggregate  purchase
price of $74.5 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As a result, in 2011, under the 2010
Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased, in the aggregate, 13,664,599 common shares for an aggregate
purchase price of $574.1 million.

In  2011,  under  the  2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  we  also  redeemed  $10.0  million  aggregate

principal amount of 2018 Notes for an aggregate purchase  price of $9.9 million.

the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  for  consideration  of  $259.2  million  and  2,305,000  of  our  common  shares  for
consideration of $60.1 million.

In connection with the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program through the termination date of November 7,
2011, we had repurchased approximately $1.5 billion, in the aggregate, of our convertible notes, senior notes and
common shares.

2011 Securities Repurchase Program

On November 3, 2011, we announced that our board of directors had approved a new securities repurchase
program  (the  ‘‘2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program’’).  Under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  which
commenced on November 8, 2011, we may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our convertible notes, senior
notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in our financing agreements
and applicable law. The 2011 Securities  Repurchase Program  terminated  on November  7, 2012.

In  2012,  under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  we  repurchased  $1.1  million  aggregate  principal

we also repurchased 5,257,454 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $280.7 million, under

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

In  2011,  under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  we  repurchased  $1.2  million  aggregate  principal
amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $3.9 million. In addition, in 2011,
under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program,  we  also  repurchased  1,534,857  of  our  common  shares  for  an
aggregate  purchase  price  of  $65.1  million  and  we  redeemed  $89.9  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  our

In connection with the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program through the termination date of November 7,
2012, we had repurchased approximately $442.4 million, in the aggregate, of our convertible notes, senior notes
and common shares.

2012 Securities Repurchase Program

On  November  19,  2012,  we  announced  that  our  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, we may 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 our financing agreements and
applicable law. The 2012 Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 14, 2013 or at such time as
we  complete  our  purchases.  The  amount  of  securities  to  be  purchased  and  the  timing  of  purchases  under  the
2012  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.

The  board  of  directors  also  approved  a  sub-limit  under  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program  for  the
repurchase of an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 10% of our public float or 5% of our issued
and  outstanding  common  shares,  in  each  case  calculated  as  of  the  date  of  the  commencement  of  the  2012
Securities Repurchase Program. We are permitted to make purchases of up to 15,172,149 common shares on the
open market through the facilities of the NYSE, representing approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding
common  shares  on  the  date  of  the  commencement  of  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program.  Subject  to
completion of appropriate filings with and approval by the TSX, we may also make purchases of our common
shares over the facilities of the TSX. Purchases of common shares will be made at prevailing market prices of
such shares on the NYSE or the TSX, as the case may be, at the time of the acquisition and shall be made in
accordance with the respective rules and guidelines of the NYSE and the TSX. All common shares purchased
under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program will be cancelled.

In 2012, we did not make any purchases of our senior notes or common shares under the 2012 Securities

Repurchase Program.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely
to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity,
or capital resources.

(1) Expected interest payments assume repayment of the principal amount of the debt obligations at maturity.

(2)

Primarily reflects the minimum guaranteed obligations related to the license agreement for Elidel(cid:4) and Xerese(cid:4). These amounts do
not  include  contingent  obligations  related  to  future  milestone  payments  or  potential  royalty  payments  in  excess  of  the  minimum
guaranteed obligations related to the Elidel(cid:4) and Xerese(cid:4) license agreement. Such contingent obligations are recorded at fair value in
our  consolidated  financial  statements.  Refer  to  Note  3  ‘‘Business  Combinations’’  to  the  2012  Financial  Statements  for  additional
information.

(3)

Purchase  obligations  consist  of  agreements  to  purchase  goods  and  services  that  are  enforceable  and  legally  binding  and  include
obligations for minimum inventory and capital expenditures, and outsourced information technology, product promotion and clinical
research  services.

The above table does not reflect contingent payments,  including the  following  items:

(cid:127) Contingent  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $659.3  million,  in  the  aggregate,  to  third-parties  as  part  of
certain product development and license agreements assumed in connection with the Medicis acquisition.
The  Medicis  potential  future  milestone  payments  are  predominantly  based  upon  the  achievement  of
certain  developmental,  regulatory  and/or  commercial  milestones.  Refer  to  Note  5  ‘‘Collaboration
Agreements’’ to the 2012 Financial Statements for additional information.

(cid:127) Contingent  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $200.0  million  that  we  may  be  required  to  pay  related  to  the
acquisition  of  Princeton  Pharma  Holdings  LLC,  and  its  wholly-owned  operating  subsidiary,  Aton  on
May  26,  2010.  The  Aton  contingent  consideration  consists  of  future  milestones  predominantly  based
upon the achievement of approval and commercial targets for a  pipeline  product.

(cid:127) Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration,  including  up  to  $114.0  million,  $59.9  million  and
$40.0 million related to the acquisitions of OraPharma, iNova and University Medical, respectively. Refer
to Note 3 ‘‘Business Combinations’’ to  the 2012 Financial Statements for  additional information.

Also  excluded  from  the  above  table  is  a  liability  for  uncertain  tax  positions  totaling  $118.1  million.  This
liability  has  been  excluded  because  we  cannot  currently  make  a  reliable  estimate  of  the  period  in  which  the
liability will be payable, if ever.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

Our common shares are listed on the TSX  and the  NYSE under  the ticker  symbol ‘‘VRX’’.

At  February  22,  2013,  we  had  305,758,623  issued  and  outstanding  common  shares,  which  includes
1,803,786 common shares issuable in connection with the Merger. In addition, we had 8,186,955 stock options
and  1,957,351  time-based  RSUs  that  each  represent  the  right  of  a  holder  to  receive  one  of  the  Company’s
common  shares,  and  1,656,847  performance-based  RSUs  that  represent  the  right  of  a  holder  to  receive  up  to
400%  of  the  RSUs  granted.  A  maximum  of  3,607,739  common  shares  could  be  issued  upon  vesting  of  the
performance-based RSUs outstanding.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET  RISK

Our  business  and  financial  results  are  affected  by  fluctuations  in  world  financial  markets,  including  the
impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate movements. We evaluate our exposure to such risks
on  an  ongoing  basis,  and  seek  ways  to  manage  these  risks  to  an  acceptable  level,  based  on  management’s
judgment  of  the  appropriate  trade-off  between  risk,  opportunity  and  cost.  We  use  derivative  financial
instruments from time to time as a risk management tool and not for trading or speculative purposes. Currently,
we  do  not  hold  any  significant  amount  of  market  risk  sensitive  instruments  whose  value  is  subject  to  market
price risk.

Inflation; Seasonality

Following  the  Merger,  we  are  subject  to  price  control  restriction  on  our  pharmaceutical  products  in  the
majority  of  countries  in  which  we  now  operate.  As  a  result,  our  ability  to  raise  prices  in  a  timely  fashion  in
anticipation of inflation may be limited in some  markets.

Historically,  revenues  from  our  business  tend  to  be  weighted  slightly  toward  the  second  half  of  the  year.
This  trend  is  driven  by  the  third  quarter  ‘‘back  to  school’’  period  which  impacts  demand  for  certain  of  our
dermatology products. Further, sales in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on the purchasing patterns of
our  customer  base.  However,  as  we  continue  our  strategy  of  selective  acquisitions  to  expand  our  product
portfolio, there are no assurances that  these historical trends will continue in the future.

Foreign Currency Risk

A majority of our revenue and expense activities and capital expenditures are denominated in U.S. dollars.
We have foreign currency exposure primarily related to the Canadian dollar, the Polish zloty (and other Eastern
European  currencies),  the  Australian  dollar,  the  Mexican  peso,  and  the  Brazilian  real.  These  operations  are
subject  to  risks  inherent  in  conducting  business  abroad,  including  price  and  currency  exchange  controls  and
fluctuations  in  the  relative  values  of  currencies.  In  addition,  to  the  extent  that  we  require,  as  a  source  of  debt
repayment, earnings and cash flows from some of our operations located in foreign countries, we are subject to
risk of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to all other currencies in which we operate, which may
materially affect our results of operations. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same
currency  revenues  in  relation  to  same  currency  expenses.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  a  1%  change  in  foreign
currency exchange rates would have impacted our shareholders’  equity by  approximately $43.2 million.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the repurchase of $18.7 million, $205.0 million and $126.3 million principal amount
of the U.S. dollar-denominated 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, resulted in a foreign exchange gain for
Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $1.0 million, $24.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The
2012  payment  represents  the  settlement  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  outstanding  balance.  In  2012,  the
repurchase  of  principal  amount  of  the  U.S.  dollar  denominated  New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  resulted  in  a
foreign exchange gain of $8.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate unrealized foreign exchange gain
on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was approximately
$31.0  million.  Additionally,  as  of  December  31,  2012,  the  unrealized  foreign  exchange  gain  on  certain
intercompany balances was equal to $317.0 million. One-half of any realized foreign exchange gain or loss will be
included  in  our  Canadian  taxable  income.  Any  resulting  gain  will  result  in  a  corresponding  reduction  in  our
available  Canadian  Non-Capital  Losses,  Scientific  Research  and  Experimental  Development  Pool,  and/or
Investment  Tax  Credit  carryforward  balances.  However,  the  repayment  of  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities
and  the  intercompany  loans  does  not  result  in  a  foreign  exchange  gain  or  loss  being  recognized  in  our
consolidated financial statements, as these statements are prepared  in U.S.  dollars.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently do not hold financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our financial assets are
not subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short duration. The primary objective of our policy for the

75

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

investment  of  temporary  cash  surpluses  is  the  protection  of  principal,  and  accordingly,  we  generally  invest  in
high quality, liquid money market investments with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. As it
is our intent and policy to hold these investments until maturity, we do not have a material exposure to interest
rate risk.

As of December 31, 2012, we had $6,733.9 million and $4,414.6 million 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 December 31, 2012 was $7,251.2 million. If interest rates were to increase or decrease
by  100  basis-points,  the  fair  value  of  our  long-term  debt  would  decrease  or  increase  by  approximately
$373.9 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 would have an annualized
pre-tax  effect  of  approximately  $28.2  million  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income  and  cash  flows,
based  on  current  outstanding  borrowings  and  effective  interest  rates  on  our  variable  rate  debt.  While  our
variable-rate  debt  may  impact  earnings  and  cash  flows  as  interest  rates  change,  it  is  not  subject  to  changes  in
fair value.

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 judgments due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available, and to
make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and
other  factors  that  we  believe  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  On  an  ongoing  basis,  we  review  our
estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business and new information as it
becomes available. If historical experience and other factors we use to make these estimates do not reasonably
reflect future activity, our results of operations and financial condition  could  be  materially impacted.

Revenue Recognition

We  recognize  product  sales  revenue  when  title  has  transferred  to  the  customer  and  the  customer  has
assumed  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  Revenue  from  product  sales  is  recognized  net  of  provisions  for
estimated  cash  discounts,  allowances,  returns,  rebates,  and  chargebacks,  as  well  as  distribution  fees  paid  to
certain of our wholesale customers. We establish these provisions concurrently with the recognition of product
sales revenue.

Medicis  customers  consist  principally  of  financially  viable  wholesalers  and  depending  on  the  customer,
revenue is recognized based upon shipment (FOB shipping point) or receipt (FOB destination) net of estimated
provisions. We recognize revenue for Dysport(cid:4), Perlane(cid:4), and Restylane(cid:4) upon the shipment from McKesson,
our  exclusive U.S. distributor of our aesthetics products, to physicians.

Under  certain  product  manufacturing  and  supply  agreements,  we  rely  on  estimates  for  future  returns,
rebates  and  chargebacks  made  by  our  commercialization  counterparties.  We  make  adjustments  as  needed  to
state  these  estimates  on  a  basis  consistent  with  our  revenue  recognition  policy  and  our  methodology  for
estimating returns, rebates, and chargebacks related to our own direct product sales.

We  continually  monitor  our  product  sales  provisions  and  evaluate  the  estimates  used  as  additional
information  becomes  available.  We  make  adjustments  to  these  provisions  periodically  to  reflect  new  facts  and
circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results.
We are required to make subjective judgments based primarily on our evaluation of current market conditions
and trade inventory levels related to our products. This evaluation may result in an increase or decrease in the
experience rate that is applied to current  and  future sales, or  an  adjustment  related to past  sales, or  both.

Use of Information from External Sources

In  the  U.S.,  we  use  information  from  external  sources  to  estimate  our  product  sales  provisions.  We  have
data  sharing  agreements  with  the  three  largest  wholesalers  in  the  U.S.  Where  we  do  not  have  data  sharing
agreements,  we  use  third-party  data  to  estimate  the  level  of  product  inventories  and  product  demand  at
wholesalers and retail pharmacies. Third-party data with respect to prescription demand and inventory levels are
subject  to  the  inherent  limitations  of  estimates  that  rely  on  information  from  external  sources,  as  this
information may itself rely on certain estimates and reflect other  limitations.

Our  inventory  levels  in  the  wholesale  distribution  channel  do  not  vary  substantially,  as  our  distribution
agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. limit the aggregate amount of inventory they can own
to between 1⁄2 and 11⁄2 months of supply of our products. The inventory data from these wholesalers is provided
to us in the aggregate rather than by specific lot number, which is the level of detail that would be required to
determine the original sale date and remaining shelf life  of  the inventory.

Some European countries base their rebates on the government’s unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending and
we  use  an  estimated  allocation  factor  against  our  actual  invoiced  sales  to  project  the  expected  level  of
reimbursement.  We  obtain  third-party  information  that  helps  us  to  monitor  the  adequacy  of  these  accruals.  If
our estimates are not indicative of actual unbudgeted  spending, our results  could  be  materially affected.

Cash Discounts and Allowances

We offer cash discounts for prompt payment and allowances for volume purchases to customers. Provisions
for cash discounts are estimated at the time of sale and recorded as direct reductions to accounts receivable and
revenue. Provisions for allowances are recorded in accrued liabilities. We estimate provisions for cash discounts
and  allowances  based  on  contractual  sales  terms  with  customers,  an  analysis  of  unpaid  invoices,  and  historical
payment  experience.  Estimated  cash  discounts  and  allowances  have  historically  been  predictable  and  less

77

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

subjective, due to the limited number of assumptions involved, the consistency of historical experience, and the
fact that we generally settle these amounts within  one month of incurring the  liability.

Returns

Consistent with industry practice, we generally allow customers to return product within a specified period
before and after its expiration date, excluding our European businesses which generally do not carry a right of
return.  Our  product  returns  provision  is  estimated  based  on  historical  sales  and  return  rates  over  the  period
during  which  customers  have  a  right  of  return.  We  utilize  the  following  information  to  estimate  our  provision
for returns:

(cid:127) historical return and exchange levels;

(cid:127) external data with respect to inventory levels in the  wholesale distribution channel;

(cid:127) external data with respect to prescription demand for our products;

(cid:127) remaining shelf lives of our products at the date of sale; and

(cid:127) estimated returns liability to be processed by year of sale based on an analysis of lot information related

to actual historical returns.

In determining our estimates for returns, we are required to make certain assumptions regarding the timing
of the introduction of new products and the potential of these products to capture market share. In addition, we
make certain assumptions with respect to the extent and pattern of decline associated with generic competition.
To make these assessments, we utilize market data for similar products as analogs for our estimates. We use our
best judgment to formulate these assumptions based on past experience and information available to us at the
time.  We  continually  reassess  and  make  the  appropriate  changes  to  our  estimates  and  assumptions  as  new
information  becomes  available  to  us.  A  change  of  1%  in  the  estimated  return  rates  would  have  impacted  our
pre-tax earnings by approximately $17 million for the year  ended  December 31, 2012.

Our  estimate  for  returns  may  be  impacted  by  a  number  of  factors,  but  the  principal  factor  relates  to  the
level of inventory in the distribution channel. When we are aware of an increase in the level of inventory of our
products in the distribution channel, we consider the reasons for the increase to determine if the increase may be
temporary or other-than-temporary. Increases in inventory levels assessed as temporary will not differ from our
original estimates of our provision for returns. Other-than-temporary increases in inventory levels, however, may
be an indication that future product returns could be higher than originally anticipated, and, as a result, we may
need to adjust our estimate for returns. Some of the factors that may suggest that an increase in inventory levels
will be temporary include:

(cid:127) recently implemented or announced  price increases for our products;

(cid:127) new product launches or expanded  indications for  our existing products; and

(cid:127) timing of purchases by our wholesale customers.

Conversely,  factors  that  may  suggest  that  an  increase  in  inventory  levels  will  be  other-than-temporary

include:

(cid:127) declining sales trends based on prescription demand;

(cid:127) introduction of new products or generic competition;

(cid:127) increasing price competition from generic competitors; and

(cid:127) recent changes to the U.S. National Drug Codes (‘‘NDC’’) of our products, which could result in a period
of higher returns related to products with the old NDC, as our U.S. customers generally permit only one
NDC per product for identification and tracking within their  inventory  systems.

78

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Our adjustments to actual in 2012 relating to prior year adjustments were $10.5 million. Our adjustments to

actual in 2011 and 2010 were not material to our revenues or earnings.

Rebates  and Chargebacks

We  are  subject  to  rebates  on  sales  made  under  governmental  and  managed-care  pricing  programs  in  the
U.S.  The  largest  of  these  rebates  is  associated  with  sales  covered  by  Medicaid.  We  participate  in  state
government-managed  Medicaid  programs,  as  well  as  certain  other  qualifying  federal  and  state  government
programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating government entities. Medicaid rebates are
generally billed 45 days after the quarter, but can be billed up to 270 days after the quarter in which the product
is  dispensed  to  the  Medicaid  participant.  As  a  result,  our  Medicaid  rebate  provision  includes  an  estimate  of
outstanding claims for end-customer sales that occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed, and
an estimate for future claims that will be made when inventory in the distribution channel is sold through to plan
participants.  Our  calculation  also  requires  other  estimates,  such  as  estimates  of  sales  mix,  to  determine  which
sales  are  subject  to  rebates  and  the  amount  of  such  rebates.  A  change  of  1%  in  the  volume  of  product  sold
through to plan participants would have impacted our pre-tax earnings by approximately $16 million for the year
ended  December  31,  2012.  Periodically,  we  adjust  the  Medicaid  rebate  provision  based  on  actual  claims  paid.
Due  to  the  delay  in  billing,  adjustments  to  actual  claims  paid  may  incorporate  revisions  of  that  provision  for
several periods.

Managed Care rebates relate to our contractual agreements to sell products to managed care organizations
and pharmacy benefit managers at contractual rebate percentages in exchange for volume and/or market share.

Chargebacks  relate  to  our  contractual  agreements  to  sell  products  to  group  purchasing  organizations  and
other  indirect  customers  at  contractual  prices  that  are  lower  than  the  list  prices  we  charge  wholesalers.  When
these group purchasing organizations or other indirect customers purchase our products through wholesalers at
these reduced prices, the wholesaler charges us for the difference between the prices they paid us and the prices
at which they sold the products to the  indirect customers.

Consumer  Rebates  and  Loyalty  Programs  are  rebates  we  offer  on  many  of  our  products.  We  generally
account for these programs by establishing an accrual based on our estimate of the rebate and loyalty incentives
attributable to a sale. We accrue our estimates on historical experience and other relevant factors. We adjust our
accruals periodically throughout each quarter based on actual experience and changes in other factors, if any, to
ensure  the  balance  is  fairly  stated.  The  provision  balance  for  consumer  rebates  and  loyalty  programs  was
$66.8 million, $7.2 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The increase in
the  provision  balance  as  of  December  31,  2012  was  due  to  the  acquisition  of  the  Medicis  products.  The  total
provision  balance  related  to  Solodyn(cid:4),  Ziana(cid:4),  Restylane(cid:4)  and  Perlane(cid:4)  was  $60.0  million  as  of
December 31, 2012.

In  estimating  our  provisions  for  rebates  and  chargebacks,  we  consider  relevant  statutes  with  respect  to
governmental pricing programs and contractual sales terms with managed-care providers and group purchasing
organizations.  We  estimate  the  amount  of  our  product  sales  subject  to  these  programs  based  on  historical
utilization levels. Changes in the level of utilization of our products through private or public benefit plans and
group purchasing organizations will affect the amount of rebates and chargebacks that we are obligated to pay.
We  continually  update  these  factors  based  on  new  contractual  or  statutory  requirements,  and  any  significant
changes in sales trends that may impact the percentage of our products subject to rebates or  chargebacks.

The amount of rebates and chargebacks has become more significant as a result of a combination of deeper
discounts  due  to  the  price  increases  we  implemented  in  each  of  the  last  three  years,  changes  in  our  product
portfolio  due  to  recent  acquisitions  and  increased  Medicaid  utilization  due  to  existing  economic  conditions  in
the U.S. Our estimate for rebates and chargebacks may be impacted by a number of factors, but the principal
factor relates to the level of inventory in the  distribution channel.

79

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Rebate provisions are based on factors such as timing and terms of plans under contract, time to process
rebates, product pricing, sales volumes, amount of inventory in the distribution channel and prescription trends.
Accordingly, we generally assume that adjustments made to rebate provisions relate to sales made in the prior
years  due  to  the  delay  in  billing.  However,  we  assume  that  adjustments  made  to  chargebacks  are  generally
related to sales made in the current year, as we settle these amounts within a few months of original sale. Our
adjustments to actual in 2012, 2011 and  2010 were  not  material  to  our revenues or  earnings.

Acquisitions

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets
acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase
price  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  assets  acquired  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  Amounts  allocated  to  acquired
IPR&D are recognized at fair value and initially characterized as indefinite-lived intangible assets, irrespective
of  whether  the  acquired  IPR&D  has  an  alternative  future  use.  If  the  acquired  net  assets  do  not  constitute  a
business,  the  transaction  is  accounted  for  as  an  asset  acquisition  and  no  goodwill  is  recognized.  In  an  asset
acquisition, acquired IPR&D with no  alternative  future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of asset acquired and
liability  assumed  can  materially  impact  our  results  of  operations.  As  part  of  our  valuation  procedures,  we
typically  consult  an  independent  advisor.  There  are  several  methods  that  can  be  used  to  determine  fair  value.
For intangible assets, we typically use an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. These cash flows are then adjusted to
present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow
streams. Some of the more significant  estimates and assumptions inherent in  the income approach include:

(cid:127) the  amount  and  timing  of  projected  future  cash  flows,  adjusted  for  the  probability  of  technical  and

marketing success;

(cid:127) the amount and timing of projected costs to develop  IPR&D into  commercially viable products;

(cid:127) the discount rate selected to measure  the risks  inherent in  the future  cash flows;  and

(cid:127) an  assessment  of  the  asset’s  life-cycle  and  the  competitive  trends  impacting  the  asset,  including

consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic  barriers to entry.

We believe the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable
assumptions,  however,  these  assumptions  may  be  incomplete  or  inaccurate,  and  unanticipated  events  and
circumstances may occur. We will finalize these amounts as we obtain 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.  We  will  finalize  these  amounts  no  later  than  one  year  from  the  respective
acquisition dates.

Determining  the  useful  life  of  an  intangible  asset  also  requires  judgment,  as  different  types  of  intangible
assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Useful  life  is  the  period  over  which  the  intangible  asset  is  expected  to  contribute  directly  or  indirectly  to  our
future cash flows. We determine the useful lives of intangible assets based on a number of factors, such as legal,
regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, and the effects of obsolescence, anticipated
demand, existence or absence of competition,  and other economic factors on  useful life.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Some of the acquisitions that we have consummated include contingent consideration to be potentially paid
based  upon  the  occurrence  of  future  events,  such  as  sales  performance  and  the  achievement  of  certain  future
development,  regulatory  and  sales  milestones.  Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  is  initially

80

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

recognized at fair value and then remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the
consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income.  The  estimates  of  fair  value  contain  uncertainties  as  they  involve
assumptions  about  the  likelihood  of  achieving  specified  milestone  criteria,  projections  of  future  financial
performance,  and  assumed  discount  rates.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  acquisition-related  contingent
consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in
the  timing  and  amount  of  revenue  estimates  and  changes  in  probability  assumptions  with  respect  to  the
likelihood  of  achieving  specified  milestone  criteria.  A  change  in  any  of  these  assumptions  could  produce  a
different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Intangible Assets

We evaluate potential impairments of amortizable intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions or
business combinations if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets
may not be recoverable. Our evaluation is based on an assessment of potential indicators of impairment, such as:

(cid:127) an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset. For
example,  a  successful  challenge  of  our  patent  rights  resulting  in  earlier  than  expected  generic
competition;

(cid:127) an  adverse  change  in  the  extent  or  manner  in  which  an  asset  is  used  or  is  expected  to  be  used.  For
example, a decision not to pursue a product line-extension strategy to enhance an existing product due to
changes in market conditions and/or technological advances; or

(cid:127) current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the
use of an asset. For example, the introduction of a competing product that results in a significant loss of
market share.

Impairment  exists  when  the  carrying  amount  of  an  amortizable  intangible  asset  is  not  recoverable  and  its
carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. A discounted cash flow analysis is typically used to determine fair
value  using  estimates  and  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  apply.  Some  of  the  estimates  and
assumptions  inherent  in  a  discounted  cash  flow  model  include  the  amount  and  timing  of  the  projected  future
cash flows, and the discount rate used to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of
these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our
results  of  operations.  In  addition,  an  intangible  asset’s  expected  useful  life  can  increase  estimation  risk,  as
longer-lived assets necessarily require longer-term cash flow forecasts, which for some of our intangible assets
can be up to 25 years. In connection with an impairment evaluation, we also reassess the remaining useful life of
the intangible asset and modify it, as appropriate.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment
losses  on  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  recognized  based  solely  on  a  comparison  of  their  fair  value  to
carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test. In particular, we will continue to monitor closely
the  progression  of  our  R&D  programs,  as  their  likelihood  of  success  is  contingent  upon  the  achievement  of
future development milestones, some of which are currently expected to occur as early as 2013. Such programs
include,  among  others,  IDP-108,  Luliconazole,  and  Metronidazole  1.3%.  Refer  to  ‘‘Products  in  Development’’
above for additional information regarding our R&D programs.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of
the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at
the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. The fair value
of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction
between  market  participants.  We  operate  in  four  business  segments:  U.S.  Dermatology;  U.S.  Neurology  and

81

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Other; Canada and Australia; and Emerging Markets. Each of the U.S. Dermatology, U.S. Neurology and Other
consist of one reporting unit. The Canada and Australia segment consists of two geographical reporting units.
The Emerging Markets segment consists of four reporting units based on geography, namely Europe, Mexico,
Brazil  and  Southeast  Asia/South  Africa.  We  conducted  our  annual  goodwill  impairment  test  in  the  fourth
quarter of 2012 for each of the eight reporting units. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a
discounted  cash  flow  analysis  approach.  These  calculations  contain  uncertainties  as  they  require  us  to  make
assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future
cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could
have a material impact on our results of operations. We determined that none of the goodwill associated with
our reporting units was impaired. The estimated fair values of each reporting unit substantially exceeded their
carrying  values  at  the  date  of  testing.  We  applied  a  hypothetical  10%  decrease  to  the  fair  values  of  each
reporting unit, which at such date, would not have  triggered additional impairment testing  and analysis.

An  interim  goodwill  impairment  test  in  advance  of  the  annual  impairment  assessment  may  be  required  if
events  occur  that  indicate  an  impairment  might  be  present.  For  example,  a  substantial  decline  in  our  market
capitalization  may  signal  that  an  interim  impairment  test  is  needed.  Accordingly,  among  other  factors,  we
monitor  changes  in  our  share  price  between  annual  impairment  tests  to  ensure  that  our  market  capitalization
continues to exceed the carrying value of our consolidated net assets. We consider a decline in our share price
that  corresponds  to  an  overall  deterioration  in  stock  market  conditions  to  be  less  of  an  indicator  of  goodwill
impairment than a unilateral decline in our share price reflecting adverse changes in our underlying operating
performance,  cash  flows,  financial  condition,  and/or  liquidity.  In  the  event  that  our  market  capitalization  does
decline  below  its  book  value,  we  would  consider  the  length  and  severity  of  the  decline  and  the  reason  for  the
decline when assessing whether potential goodwill impairment exists. We believe that short-term fluctuations in
share prices may not necessarily reflect underlying values.

Contingencies

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  are  subject  to  loss  contingencies,  such  as  claims  and  assessments
arising  from  litigation  and  other  legal  proceedings,  contractual  indemnities,  product  and  environmental
liabilities,  and  tax  matters.  We  are  required  to  accrue  for  such  loss  contingencies  if  it  is  probable  that  the
outcome will be unfavorable and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We disclose contingent
liabilities when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred.
We are often unable to develop a best estimate of loss, in which case the minimum amount of loss, which could
be zero, is recorded. We evaluate our exposure to loss based on the progress of each contingency, experience in
similar contingencies, and consultation with internal and external legal counsel. We re-evaluate all contingencies
as  additional  information  becomes  available.  Given  the  uncertainties  inherent  in  complex  litigation  and  other
contingencies, these evaluations can involve significant judgment about future events. The ultimate outcome of
any  litigation  or  other  contingency  may  be  material  to  our  results  of  operations,  financial  condition,  and  cash
flows. For a discussion of our current  legal proceedings, see  note 24  to  the 2012 Financial  Statements.

Income Taxes

We  have  operations  in  various  countries  that  have  differing  tax  laws  and  rates.  Our  tax  structure  is
supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties
between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting is subject to audit by domestic and
foreign  tax  authorities.  Our  effective  tax  rate  may  change  from  year  to  year  based  on  changes  in  the  mix  of
activities and income allocated or earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in tax
laws in these jurisdictions, changes in tax treaties between various countries in which we operate, changes in our
eligibility  for  benefits  under  those  tax  treaties,  and  changes  in  the  estimated  values  of  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities.  Such  changes  could  result  in  an  increase  in  the  effective  tax  rate  on  all  or  a  portion  of  our  income
and/or any of our subsidiaries.

82

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Our provision for income taxes is based on a number of estimates and assumptions made by management.
Our  consolidated  income  tax  rate  is  affected  by  the  amount  of  income  earned  in  our  various  operating
jurisdictions,  the  availability  of  benefits  under  tax  treaties,  and  the  rates  of  taxes  payable  in  respect  of  that
income. We enter into many transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course of business in which the tax
treatment is not entirely certain. We must therefore make estimates and judgments based on our knowledge and
understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and tax treaties to our
business,  in  determining  our  consolidated  tax  provision.  For  example,  certain  countries  could  seek  to  tax  a
greater share of income than has been provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation authorities
may  differ  from  the  estimates  and  assumptions  we  have  used  in  determining  our  consolidated  income  tax
provisions and accruals. This could result in a material effect on our consolidated income tax provision, results of
operations, and financial condition for  the period  in which  such determinations are made.

Our income tax returns are subject to audit in various jurisdictions. Existing and future audits by, or other
disputes with, tax authorities may not be resolved favorably for us and could have a material adverse effect on
our reported effective tax rate and after-tax cash flows. We record liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which
involves  significant  management  judgment.  New  laws  and  new  interpretations  of  laws  and  rulings  by  tax
authorities may affect the liability for uncertain tax positions. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the
underlying  issues,  actual  payments  or  assessments  may  differ  from  our  estimates.  To  the  extent  that  our
estimates  differ  from  amounts  eventually  assessed  and  paid  our  income  and  cash  flows  may  be  materially  and
adversely affected.

We assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the tax benefits associated with our deferred
tax assets and establish a valuation allowance for assets that are not expected to result in a realized tax benefit. A
significant  amount  of  judgment  is  used  in  this  process,  including  preparation  of  forecasts  of  future  taxable
income and evaluation of tax planning initiatives. If we revise these forecasts or determine that certain planning
events will not occur, an adjustment to the valuation allowance will be made to tax expense in the period such
determination is made.

Share-Based Compensation

We  recognize  employee  share-based  compensation,  including  grants  of  stock  options  and  RSUs,  at
estimated  fair  value.  As  there  is  no  market  for  trading  our  employee  stock  options,  we  use  the  Black-Scholes
option-pricing  model  to  calculate  stock  option  fair  values,  which  requires  certain  assumptions  related  to  the
expected  life  of  the  stock  option,  future  stock  price  volatility,  risk-free  interest  rate,  and  dividend  yield.  The
expected life of the stock option is based on historical exercise and forfeiture patterns. Effective January 1, 2012,
we estimated the expected volatility of our common stock by using implied volatility in market traded options.
Our decision to use implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on our common
stock  and  our  assessment  that  implied  volatility  is  more  representative  of  future  stock  price  trends  than  our
previously used assumption of historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate at the time of
grant  for  U.S.  Treasury  bonds  with  a  remaining  term  equal  to  the  expected  life  of  the  stock  option.  Dividend
yield  is  based  on  the  stock  option’s  exercise  price  and  expected  annual  dividend  rate  at  the  time  of  grant.
Changes to any of these assumptions, or the use of a different option-pricing model, such as the lattice model,
could produce a different fair value for share-based compensation expense, which could have a material impact
on our results of operations.

We determine the fair value of each RSU granted based on the trading price of our common shares on the
date  of  grant,  unless  the  vesting  of  the  RSU  is  conditional  on  the  attainment  of  any  applicable  performance
goals,  in  which  case  we  use  a  Monte  Carlo  simulation  model.  The  Monte  Carlo  simulation  model  utilizes
multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. Changes to
any of these inputs could materially affect the measurement of the fair value of the performance-based RSUs.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Information regarding the adoption of new accounting guidance is contained in note 2 to the 2012 Financial

Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of  December  31, 2012

In  July  2012,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  issued  guidance  intended  to  simplify
indefinite-lived  intangible  impairment  testing,  by  allowing  an  entity  to  first  assess  qualitative  factors  to
determine whether it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying amount as a
basis 
test.  The
more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This guidance is effective for
annual  and  interim  tests  performed  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  September  15,  2012.  The  adoption  of  this
guidance is not expected to have a significant  impact  on our financial position or results of operations.

it 

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out
of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  by  requiring  an  entity  to  report  the  effect  of  significant
reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if
the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For
other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the
same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that
provide  additional  detail  about  those  amounts.  The  guidance  is  effective  prospectively  for  reporting  periods
beginning December 15, 2012. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance will
not have impact on our financial position  or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We  performed  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  that  are
designed to ensure that the material financial and non-financial information required to be disclosed on reports
and  filed  or  submitted  with  the  SEC  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized,  and  reported  in  a  timely  manner.
Based  on  our  evaluation,  our  management,  including  the  CEO  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  (‘‘CFO’’),  has
concluded  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  of  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2012 are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there
can  be  no  assurance  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  will  detect  or  uncover  all  failures  of  persons
within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required  to be set forth in our reports.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial
reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  management,  including  our  CEO  and  CFO,  we
conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  the
framework  described  in  Internal  Control — Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission.  Based  on  its  evaluation  under  this  framework,  management
concluded that our internal control over financial  reporting was effective as  of December  31, 2012.

The  scope  of  management’s  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting
includes  all  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  operations  except  for  the  operations  of  Medicis,  OraPharma,
Probiotica and certain assets acquired from Gerot Lannach and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc.
(together,  the  ‘‘Acquired  Companies’’),  which  represented  approximately  6%  of  the  Company’s  consolidated
revenues  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  and  assets  associated  with  the  Acquired  Companies
represented approximately 4% of the Company’s consolidated  total  assets as  of December  31, 2012.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has
been  audited  by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  as  stated  in
their report on page F-3 of the 2012 Form 10-K.

Changes  in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There  were  no  changes  in  our  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  identified  in  connection  with  the
evaluation thereof by our management, including the CEO and CFO, during the quarter ended December 31,
2012  that  have  materially  affected,  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  our  internal  controls  over
financial reporting.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  the  increase  in  the  amounts  charged  to  costs  and  expenses  with
respect  to  the  allowance  for  inventory  obsolescence  was  driven  primarily  by  integration-related  portfolio  and
manufacturing rationalization initiatives and growth  in the business.

With  respect  to  the  allowance  for  inventory  obsolescence,  the  $26.3  million  in  2012  charged  to  other
accounts  represents  obsolescence  reserves  assumed  as  part  of  acquisitions  consummated  during  the  year,  with
the  most  significant  contributors  being  the  QLT,  Medicis,  and  Eyetech  Inc.  acquisitions,  which  closed  on
September 24, 2012, December 11, 2012, and February 13, 2012, respectively. The $2.7 million in 2011 charged
to  other  accounts  represents  obsolescence  reserves  assumed  as  part  of  acquisitions  consummated  during  the
year, with the most significant contributor being the Sanitas acquisition, which closed on August 19, 2011. The
$18.8 million in 2010 charged to other accounts represents obsolescence reserves assumed as part of the Merger
consummated  on  September  28,  2010.  These  assumed  reserves  were  included  as  part  of  the  purchase  price
allocations  as  of  the  respective  acquisition  dates,  therefore,  such  amounts  were  not  charged  to  costs
and expenses.

REPORTS OF MANAGEMENT ON FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Financial Statements

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  preparing  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  in  conformity  with  United  States  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  (‘‘U.S.  GAAP’’).  In
preparing these consolidated financial statements, management selects appropriate accounting policies and uses
its  judgment  and  best  estimates  to  report  events  and  transactions  as  they  occur.  Management  has  determined
such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented
fairly, in all material respects. Financial information included throughout this Annual Report is prepared on a
basis consistent with that of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been engaged by the Company’s shareholders to audit the consolidated

financial statements.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial
reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The
Board  of  Directors  carries  out  this  responsibility  principally  through  its  Audit  and  Risk  Committee.  The
members of the Audit and Risk Committee are outside Directors. The Audit and Risk Committee considers, for
review  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  approval  by  the  shareholders,  the  engagement  or  reappointment  of  the
external auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has full and free access to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  the  Company  conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  its  internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission.  Based  on  its  evaluation
under this framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2012.

The  scope  of  management’s  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting
includes  all  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  operations  except  for  the  operations  of  Medicis  Pharmaceutical
Corporation, OraPharma Topco Holdings, Inc., Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. and certain assets acquired from
Gerot  Lannach  and  Johnson  &  Johnson  Consumer  Companies  Inc.,  (together,  the’’Acquired  Companies’’),
which  the  Company  acquired  through  purchase  business  combinations  during  the  year  ended  December  31,
2012. The Acquired Companies represented approximately 6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2012, and assets associated with the Acquired Companies represented approximately
4% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of  December 31, 2012.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has
been  audited  by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  as  stated  in
their report on page F-3 herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED  PUBLIC  ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International,  Inc.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  2012  and  the  related  consolidated
statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.
and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
then  ended  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  In
addition,  in  our  opinion,  the  financial  statement  schedule  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  appearing
under  Item  15(2)  presents  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  information  set  forth  therein  when  read  in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in
all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2012,  based  on
criteria  established  in  Internal  Control — Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  these
financial  statements  and  financial  statement  schedule,  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the
accompanying  Report  of  Management  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to
express  opinions  on  these  financial  statements,  on  the  financial  statement  schedule,  and  on  the  Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in
all  material  respects.  Our  audit  of  the  financial  statements  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  and  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  Our
audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such
other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial
reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (i)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in
reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  of
the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the
company;  and  (iii)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized
acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  company’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the  financial
statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in the Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has
excluded Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, OraPharma Topco Holdings, Inc., Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda.
and certain assets acquired from Gerot Lannach and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc., (together,
the ‘‘Acquired Companies’’) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2012 because the Acquired Companies were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during
2012.  We  have  also  excluded  the  Acquired  Companies  from  our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial
reporting.  The  Acquired  Companies  are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  whose  total  assets  and  total  revenues
represent  4%  and  6%,  respectively,  of  the  related  consolidated  financial  statement  amounts  as  of  and  for  the
year ended December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED  PUBLIC  ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International,  Inc.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  income  (loss),  comprehensive  loss,
shareholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  of  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International,  Inc.,  formerly  Biovail
Corporation, for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule II
included  in  Item  15  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2010.  The  financial  statements  and  schedule  are  the
responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial
statements and schedule based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight
Board  (United  States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our  opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the
consolidated  results  of  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International,  Inc’s  operations  and  its  cash  flows  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our  opinion,  the  related  financial  statement  schedule,  when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all  material respects, the information set forth  therein.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

On September 28, 2010 (the ‘‘Merger Date’’), Biovail Corporation (‘‘Biovail’’) completed the acquisition of
Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International  (‘‘Valeant’’)  through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  pursuant  to  an
Agreement  and  Plan  of  Merger,  dated  as  of  June  20,  2010,  with  Valeant  surviving  as  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Biovail  (the  ‘‘Merger’’).  In  connection  with  the  Merger,  Biovail  was  renamed  ‘‘Valeant
Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.’’ (the ‘‘Company’’).

On  December  11,  2012,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  Medicis  Pharmaceutical  Corporation
(‘‘Medicis’’) through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
September  2,  2012,  with  Medicis  surviving  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company  (the  ‘‘Medicis
acquisition’’).

The  Company  is  a  multinational,  specialty  pharmaceutical  company  that  develops,  manufactures  and
markets  a  broad  range  of  pharmaceutical  products  and  medical  devices,  primarily  in  the  areas  of
dermatology, neurology and branded generics.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The  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  (‘‘GAAP’’),  applied  on  a
consistent basis.

As described in note 3, the Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition
method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, the
Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Valeant
from the Merger Date.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions  and  balances  have been  eliminated.

The  Company  has  entered  into  collaboration  and  license  arrangements  with  other  entities  for  various
products under development. These arrangements typically include upfront and contingent milestone and
royalty payments. There were no material  arrangements determined to be variable interest entities.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

The  Company  has  revised  the  2011  consolidated  balance  sheet,  the  consolidated  statement  of
comprehensive loss and the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity to correct the foreign currency
translation adjustment, which resulted in an offsetting adjustment to Deferred tax liabilities, net, Goodwill
and  Intangible  assets,  net.  The  Company  increased  Deferred  tax  liabilities,  net  by  $43.6  million  and
decreased  Goodwill  and  Intangible  assets,  net  by  $17.3  million  and  $16.3  million,  respectively,  with  an
offsetting increase in Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $77.2 million as of December 31, 2011. This
revision did not have a material impact to the Company’s previously reported financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

The  Company  has  revised  the  2011  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  presentation  of  the
proceeds  from  the  out-license  of  an  intangible  asset  to  conform  to  the  current  year  presentation.  The

Company decreased Net cash used in investing activities with an offsetting decrease in Net cash provided by
operating  activities  by  $36.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011.  This  revision  did  not  have  a
material  impact  to  the  Company’s  previously  reported  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows.  This  change
had no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements
of (loss) income and consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Acquisitions

Acquired  businesses  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting,  which  requires  that
assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the
purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  assets  acquired  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  Acquired  in-process
research  and  development  (‘‘IPR&D’’)  is  recognized  at  fair  value  and  initially  characterized  as  an
indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use.
If  the  acquired  net  assets  do  not  constitute  a  business,  the  transaction  is  accounted  for  as  an  asset
acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D
with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Company’s 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during  the  reporting  periods.  Significant  estimates  made  by  management  include:  provisions  for  product
returns,  rebates  and  chargebacks;  useful  lives  of  amortizable  intangible  assets;  expected  future  cash  flows
used  in  evaluating  intangible  assets  for  impairment;  reporting  unit  fair  values  in  testing  goodwill  for
impairment;  provisions  for  loss  contingencies;  provisions  for  income  taxes,  uncertain  tax  positions  and
realizability  of  deferred  tax  assets;  and  the  allocation  of  the  purchase  price  of  acquired  assets  and
businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration. Under certain product manufacturing and
supply  agreements,  management  relies  on  estimates  for  future  returns,  rebates  and  chargebacks  made  by
the Company’s commercialization counterparties. 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 consolidated financial statements could
be materially impacted.

Fair  Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities  approximate  their  carrying  values  due  to  their  short  maturity  periods.  The  fair  value  of
acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  is  based  on  estimated  discounted  future  cash  flows  and
assessment  of  the  probability  of  occurrence  of  potential  future  events.  The  fair  values  of  marketable
securities  and  long-term  debt  are  based  on  quoted  market  prices,  if  available,  or  estimated  discounted
future cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, treasury bills, certain money-market funds, term
deposits and investment-grade commercial paper with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

Marketable Securities

Marketable  debt  securities  are  classified  as  being  available-for-sale.  These  securities  are  reported  at  fair
value with all unrealized gains and temporary unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income.
Other-than-temporary credit losses that represent a decrease in the cash flows expected to be collected on
these securities are recognized in net income. Other-than-temporary non-credit losses related to all other
factors are recognized in other comprehensive income, if the Company does not intend to sell the security
and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized
cost basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in net income. The cost of
securities sold, and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings,
is calculated using the specific identification method, if determinable, otherwise the average cost method is
applied. The amortization of acquisition premiums or discounts is recorded as a deduction from or addition
to interest income earned on these securities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  significant  concentrations  of  credit  risk
consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,  marketable securities and accounts  receivable.

The  Company  invests  its  excess  cash  in  high-quality,  liquid  money  market  instruments  with  varying
maturities, but typically less than three months. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with
major  financial  institutions.  The  Company  has  not  experienced  any  significant  losses  on  its  cash  or  cash
equivalents.

In  2012,  the  Company’s  marketable  securities  portfolio  included  the  investment  in  auction  rate  floating
securities  (student  loans)  and  the  investment  in  equity  securities  acquired  in  connection  with  the  Medicis
acquisition. The investment in auction rate floating securities has a maximum term to maturity of 34 years.
In  2011,  the  Company’s  marketable  securities  portfolio  included  investment-grade  corporate  enterprise
fixed income debt securities that matured within one year.

The Company’s accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in the U.S. and Europe and primarily
represent  amounts  due  from  wholesale  distributors,  retail  pharmacies,  government  entities  and  group
purchasing  organizations.  Outside  of  the  U.S.,  concentrations  of  credit  risk  with  respect  to  trade
receivables, which are typically unsecured, are limited due to the number of customers using the Company’s
products,  as  well  as  their  dispersion  across  many  different  geographic  areas.  The  Company  performs
periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. The Company monitors economic
conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant
financial  markets  and  its  business,  especially  in  light  of  sovereign  credit  issues.  The  credit  and  economic
conditions  within  Italy,  Portugal,  Spain  and  Greece,  among  other  members  of  the  European  Union,  have
deteriorated.  These  conditions  have  increased,  and  may  continue  to  increase,  the  average  length  of  time
that it takes to collect on the Company’s accounts receivable outstanding in these countries. An allowance
for  doubtful  accounts  is  maintained  for  potential  credit  losses  based  on  the  aging  of  accounts  receivable,
historical bad debts experience, and changes in customer payment patterns. Accounts receivables balances
are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable  will not be collected.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s three largest U.S. wholesaler customers accounted for
42%  and  32%  of  net  trade  receivables,  respectively.  In  addition,  as  of  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  the
Company’s net trade receivable balance from Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal amounted to $5.6 million
and  $7.2  million,  respectively,  and  has  been  outstanding  for  less  than  one  year.  The  portion  of  the  Spain

receivables  past  due  more  than  60  days  is  negligible.  The  Company  has  not  experienced  any  significant
losses from uncollectible accounts in the three-year  period ended December 31, 2012.

Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of
cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes
materials, direct labor, and an allocation of overheads. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and
for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors
as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects
to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life
of goods on hand.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred on assets
under  construction  are  capitalized  as  construction  in  progress.  Depreciation  is  calculated  using  the
straight-line  method,  commencing  when  the  assets  become  available  for  productive  use,  based  on  the
following estimated useful lives:

Buildings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Up to 40 years

3  - 20 years
3 - 10 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with finite lives are
amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based
on the following estimated useful lives:

Product brands . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Corporate brands . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

IPR&D

The  fair  value  of  IPR&D  acquired  through  a  business  combination  is  capitalized  as  an  indefinite-lived
intangible  asset  until  the  completion  or  abandonment  of  the  related  research  and  development  activities.
When  the  related  research  and  development  is  completed,  the  asset  will  be  assigned  a  useful  life
and amortized.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts
with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The
net cash flows reflect the asset’s stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs
to  complete,  expected  market  competition,  and  an  assessment  of  the  asset’s  life-cycle.  The  net  cash  flows

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

are  then  adjusted  to  present  value  by  applying  an  appropriate  discount  rate  that  reflects  the  risk  factors
associated with the cash flow streams.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived  assets  with  finite  lives  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances
indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.  Indicators  of  potential  impairment
include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset;
an  adverse  change  in  the  extent  or  manner  in  which  the  asset  is  used  or  is  expected  to  be  used,  or  in  its
physical  condition;  and  current  or  forecasted  operating  or  cash  flow  losses  that  demonstrate  continuing
losses  associated  with  the  use  of  the  asset.  If  indicators  of  impairment  are  present,  the  asset  is  tested  for
recoverability  by  comparing  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  to  the  related  estimated  undiscounted  future
cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value
of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value,
based on the related estimated discounted  future cash flows.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually or more
frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  between  annual  tests  indicate  that  the  asset  may  be
impaired.  Impairment  losses  on  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  recognized  based  solely  on  a
comparison  of  the  fair  value  of  the  asset  to  its  carrying  value,  without  consideration  of  any
recoverability test.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of
the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually
at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same  as, or one level below, an operating segment.

The Company operates in the following business segments: U.S. Dermatology; U.S. Neurology and Other;
Canada  and  Australia;  and  Emerging  Markets.  U.S.  Dermatology  and  U.S.  Neurology  and  Other  each
consist  of  one  reporting  unit.  The  Canada  and  Australia  segment  consists  of  two  geographical  reporting
units. The Emerging Markets segment consists of four reporting units based on geography, namely Europe,
Mexico,  Brazil  and  Southeast  Asia/South  Africa.  The  Company  estimated  the  fair  values  of  its  reporting
units  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  approach.  These  calculations  contain  uncertainties  as  they
require  the  Company  to  make  assumptions  about  future  cash  flows  and  the  appropriate  discount  rate  to
reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could
produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012,  the  Company  performed  its  annual  goodwill  impairment  test  and
determined that none of the goodwill associated with its reporting  units was impaired.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred  financing  costs  are  reported  at  cost,  less  accumulated  amortization,  and  are  recorded  in  other
long-term assets. Amortization expense is included in interest  expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market
risks,  including  foreign  currency  and  interest  rate  exposures.  The  Company  does  not  utilize  derivative
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor does it enter into trades for which there is no

underlying exposure. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value.
The  Company  accounts  for  derivative  financial  instruments  based  on  whether  they  meet  the  criteria  for
designation as hedging transactions, either as cash flow, net investment, or fair value hedges. Depending on
the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of a hedged item are either offset against the change in
the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the
hedged  item  is  recognized  in  earnings.  The  Company  did  not  hold  any  derivative  financial  instruments  at
December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations having a functional currency other than the
U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and at
the  average  exchange  rate  for  the  reporting  period  for  revenue  and  expense  accounts.  The  cumulative
foreign  currency  translation  adjustment  is  recorded  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income in shareholders’ equity.

Foreign  currency  exchange  gains  and  losses  on  transactions  occurring  in  a  currency  other  than  an
operation’s functional currency are recognized  in  net income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has  occurred  or  services  have  been  rendered,  the  price  to  the  customer  is  fixed  or  determinable,  and
collectibility is reasonably assured.

Product Sales

Product  sales  revenue  is  recognized  when  title  has  transferred  to  the  customer  and  the  customer  has
assumed  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  Amounts  received  from  customers  as  prepayments  for
products to be shipped in the future are recorded in deferred revenue.

Revenue  from  product  sales  is  recognized  net  of  provisions  for  estimated  discounts,  allowances,  returns,
rebates  and  chargebacks.  The  Company  offers  discounts  for  prompt  payment  and  other  incentive
allowances to customers. Provisions for discounts and allowances are estimated based on contractual sales
terms with customers and historical payment experience. The Company allows customers to return product
within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. Provisions for returns are estimated
based  on  historical  return  levels,  taking  into  account  additional  available  information  on  competitive
products  and  contract  changes.  The  Company  has  data  sharing  agreements  with  the  three  largest
wholesalers in the U.S. Where the Company does not have data sharing agreements, it uses third-party data
to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The
Company reviews its methodology and adequacy of the provision for returns on a quarterly basis, adjusting
for changes in assumptions, historical results and business practices, as necessary. The Company is subject
to rebates on sales made under governmental and commercial rebate programs, and chargebacks on sales
made to government agencies, retail pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. Provisions for rebates
and  chargebacks  are  estimated  based  on  historical  experience,  relevant  statutes  with  respect  to
governmental pricing programs, and contractual sales  terms.
The  Company  recognizes  revenue  for  Dysport(cid:4),  Perlane(cid:4),  and  Restylane(cid:4)  upon  the  shipment  from
McKesson, the Company’s exclusive U.S. distributor of aesthetics products, to physicians.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

The  Company  is  party  to  manufacturing  and  supply  agreements  with  a  number  of  commercialization
counterparties  in  the  U.S.  Under  the  terms  of  these  agreements,  the  Company’s  supply  prices  for  its
products  are  determined  after  taking  into  consideration  estimates  for  future  returns,  rebates,  and
chargebacks  provided  by  each  counterparty.  The  Company  makes  adjustments  as  needed  to  state  these
estimates  on  a  basis  consistent  with  this  policy,  and  its  methodology  for  estimating  returns,  rebates  and
chargebacks related to its own direct product sales.

Alliance and Royalty

The Company earns royalties and profit share revenue as a result of the licensing of product rights to third
parties. Royalties and profit share revenue are earned at the time the related product is sold by the licensee
based  on  the  terms  of  the  specific  licensing  agreement  and  when  the  Company  has  no  future  obligations
with  respect  to  the  royalty  or  profit  share.  The  Company  relies  on  financial  information  provided  by
licensees to estimate the amounts due to it  under the related agreements.

The Company considers the sale or the out-license of non-core products to be part of its ongoing major and
central  operations.  Accordingly,  proceeds  on  the  sale  of  non-core  products  are  recognized  as  alliance
revenue,  with  the  associated  costs,  including  the  carrying  amount  of  related  assets,  recorded  as  cost  of
alliance revenue.

Service and Other

Contract  manufacturing  service  revenue  is  recognized  when  title  has  transferred  to  the  customer  and  the
customer has assumed the risks and rewards  of ownership.

Research  and  development  service  revenue  attributable  to  the  performance  of  contract  services  is
recognized  as  the  services  are  performed,  under  the  proportionate  performance  method  of  revenue
recognition.  Performance  is  measured  based  on  units-of-work  performed  relative  to  total  units-of-work
contracted. Units-of-work is generally measured based on  hours spent.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs  related  to  internal  research  and  development  programs,  including  costs  associated  with  the
development  of  acquired  IPR&D,  are  expensed  as  goods  are  delivered  or  services  are  performed.  Under
certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make
payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial
milestones.  Before  a  product  receives  regulatory  approval,  milestone  payments  made  to  third  parties  are
expensed  when  the  milestone  is  achieved.  Milestone  payments  made  to  third  parties  after  regulatory
approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.

Amounts  due  from  third  parties  as  reimbursement  of  development  activities  conducted  under  certain
research  and  development  arrangements  are  recognized  as  a  reduction  of  research  and  development
expenses.

Legal Costs

Legal  fees  and  other  costs  related  to  litigation  and  other  legal  proceedings  are  expensed  as  incurred  and
included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Legal costs expensed are reported net of expected
insurance  recoveries.  A  claim  for  insurance  recovery  is  recognized  when  the  claim  becomes  probable
of realization.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

Advertising Costs

Advertising  costs  comprise  product  samples,  print  media  and  promotional  materials.  Advertising  costs
related to new product launches are expensed on the first use of the advertisement. The Company deferred
advertising costs recorded as of December 31, 2012  or 2011 were not material.

Advertising  costs  expensed  in  2012,  2011  and  2010  were  $157.6  million,  $106.3  million  and  $29.9  million,
respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Share-Based Compensation

The  Company  recognizes  all  share-based  payments  to  employees,  including  grants  of  employee  stock
options and restricted share units (‘‘RSUs’’), at estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value
of  stock  option  or  RSU  grants  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  requisite  service  period  of  the  individual
stock option or RSU grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock option and RSU forfeitures are
estimated  at  the  time  of  grant  and  revised,  if  necessary,  in  subsequent  periods  if  actual  forfeitures  differ
from those estimates.

The  fair  value  of  deferred  share  units  (‘‘DSUs’’)  granted  to  non-management  directors  is  recognized  as
compensation expense at the grant date, and a DSU liability is recorded in accrued liabilities. The fair value
of the DSU liability is remeasured at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to compensation
expense in the reporting period.

Share-based  compensation  is  recorded  in  cost  of  goods  sold,  research  and  development  expenses,  selling,
general and administrative expenses  and restructuring and other  costs, as appropriate.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists primarily of potential milestone payments and
royalty  obligations,  is  recorded  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  at  its  acquisition  date  estimated  fair
value,  in  accordance  with  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  The  fair  value  of  the  acquisition-related
contingent  consideration  is  remeasured  each  reporting  period,  with  changes  in  fair  value  recorded  in  the
consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  acquisition-related  contingent
consideration  obligations  result  from  several  factors  including  changes  in  discount  periods  and  rates,
changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect
to  the  likelihood  of  achieving  specified  milestone  criteria.  The  fair  value  measurement  is  based  on
significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair
value measurement accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes standby fees and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs.
Interest  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred,  except  to  the  extent  such  interest  is  related  to  construction  in
progress,  in  which  case  interest  is  capitalized.  The  Company  did  not  capitalize  any  interest  costs  in  2012,
2011 or 2010 due to immateriality.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for  the  differences  between  the  financial  statement  and  income  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities,  and  for
operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates and laws.

The  tax  benefit  from  an  uncertain  tax  position  is  recognized  only  if  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  tax
position  will  be  sustained  upon  examination  by  the  appropriate  taxing  authority,  based  on  the  technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax
positions  are  classified  as  long-term  unless  expected  to  be  paid  within  one  year.  Interest  and  penalties
related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with
the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common
shares  outstanding  during  the  reporting  period.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after
giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options, RSUs and convertible debt, determined
using the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive  income  comprises  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income.  Other  comprehensive
income includes foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized temporary holding gains and losses on
available-for-sale investments, and the non-credit component of other-than-temporary losses on marketable
debt  securities.  Accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  is  recorded  as  a  component  of  shareholders’
equity.

Contingencies

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  is  subject  to  loss  contingencies,  such  as  claims  and
assessments  arising  from  litigation  and  other  legal  proceedings,  contractual  indemnities,  product  and
environmental liabilities, and tax matters. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company
determines  that  it  is  both  probable  that  a  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the  amount  of  loss  can  be
reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range
appears  to  be  a  better  estimate  than  any  other  amount  within  the  range,  that  amount  is  accrued  as  a
liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of
the range is accrued as a liability.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company  adopted the following accounting  standards:

(cid:127) Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement
of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards
(‘‘IFRS’’). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements
under  U.S.  GAAP.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s
financial position or results of operations.

(cid:127) Guidance  requiring  entities  to  present  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income  in  either  a  single
continuous  statement  or  in  two  separate,  but  consecutive,  statements  of  net  income  and  other

comprehensive income. This guidance does not change the components of other comprehensive income
or  the  calculation  of  earnings  per  share.  At  that  time,  the  effective  date  for  amendments  to  the
presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income has been deferred. As
this  guidance  relates  to  presentation  only,  the  adoption  of  this  guidance  did  not  impact  the  Company’s
financial position or results of operations.

(cid:127) Guidance intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing, by allowing an entity to first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
the  carrying  amount  as  a  basis  for  determining  whether  it  is  necessary  to  perform  a  two-step  goodwill
impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.

In  July  2012,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  issued  guidance  intended  to  simplify
indefinite-lived  intangible  impairment  testing,  by  allowing  an  entity  to  first  assess  qualitative  factors  to
determine whether it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying amount
as  a  basis  for  determining  whether  it  is  necessary  to  perform  a  quantitative  impairment  test.  The
more-likely-than-not  threshold  is  defined  as  having  a  likelihood  of  more  than  50%.  This  guidance  is
effective  for  annual  and  interim  tests  performed  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  September  15,  2012.  The
adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position
or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out
of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  by  requiring  an  entity  to  report  the  effect  of  significant
reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income
if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income.
For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income
in  the  same  reporting  period,  an  entity  is  required  to  cross-reference  other  disclosures  required  under
U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance is effective prospectively for
reporting periods beginning December 15, 2012. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption
of this guidance will not have impact  on the Company’s  financial  position  or results of  operations.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The  Company  focuses  its  business  on  core  geographies  and  therapeutic  classes  through  selective
acquisitions, dispositions and strategic  partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies.

(a) Business combinations in 2012 included  the following:

Medicis

Description of the Transaction

On  December  11,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  common  stock  of  Medicis
Pharmaceutical  Corporation  (‘‘Medicis’’)  for  $44.00  per  share  (‘‘Per  Share  Consideration’’)  for  cash.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 2, 2012, among the Company, Valeant,
Merlin Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant (‘‘Merger Sub’’),
and Medicis, on December 11, 2012, Merger Sub merged with and into Medicis, with Medicis continuing as
the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant. At the effective time of this merger, each share
of Medicis Class A common stock, par value $0.014 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)

such  effective  time  was  converted  into  the  right  to  receive  the  Per  Share  Merger  Consideration  in  cash,
without interest. Each Medicis stock option and stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested, that
was outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition was cancelled and converted into the right to receive
the  excess,  if  any,  of  the  Per  Share  Consideration  over  the  exercise  price  of  such  stock  option  or  stock
appreciation  right,  as  applicable.  Each  Medicis  restricted  share,  whether  vested  or  unvested,  that  was
outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the
Per Share Consideration.

Medicis is a specialty pharmaceutical company that focuses primarily on the development and marketing in
the  U.S.  and  Canada  of  products  for  the  treatment  of  dermatological  and  aesthetic  conditions.  Medicis
offers a broad range of products addressing various conditions or aesthetics improvements, including acne,
actinic keratosis, facial wrinkles, glabellar lines, fungal infections, hyperpigmentation, photoaging, psoriasis,
bronchospasms,  external  genital  and  perianal  warts/condyloma  acuminate,  seborrheic  dermatitis  and
cosmesis  (improvement  in  the  texture  and  appearance  of  skin).  Medicis’  primary  brands  are  Solodyn(cid:4),
Restylane(cid:4), Perlane(cid:4), Ziana(cid:4), Dysport(cid:4)  and Zyclara(cid:4).

options, restricted stock awards, and share appreciation rights for Medicis employees that was triggered by the change in control
was  recognized  as  a  post-combination  expense  within  Restructuring,  integration  and  other  costs  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The  transaction  has  been  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination  under  the  acquisition  method  of
accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as of the acquisition date. Due to the timing of this acquisition, these amounts are provisional and
subject  to  change.  The  Company  will  finalize  these  amounts  as  it  obtains  the  information  necessary  to
complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of
the  acquisition  date  may  result  in  retrospective  adjustments  to  the  provisional  amounts  recognized  at  the

a  topical  antibiotic  for  the  treatment  of  bacterial  vaginosis  ($130.9  million,  in  the  aggregate),  and  the  development  of  several
aesthetics  programs  ($22.9  million).  A  New  Drug  Application  (‘‘NDA’’)  for  Luliconazole  was  submitted  to  the  FDA  on
December 11, 2012. A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair
values of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful
development and commercialization of each project. Risk-adjusted discount rates of 10% – 11% were used to present value the
projected cash flows.

Includes accounts payable, a liability for a supplemental executive retirement program, a liability for stock appreciation rights,

(1) During  the  period  from  the  acquisition  date  to  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  redeemed  a  portion  of  the  1.375%
Convertible Senior Notes, 2.50% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes and 1.50% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes.
For further details, see note 14 titled ‘‘SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT’’.

(i) Goodwill  is  calculated  as  the  difference  between  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred  and  the
provisional 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:

(cid:127) cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Medicis with those of

the Company;

(cid:127) the value of the continuing operations of Medicis’ 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

(cid:127) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Medicis’ assembled workforce).

The provisional amount of goodwill has been allocated  to  the Company’s U.S. Dermatology segment.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The  Company  has  incurred  to  date  $55.4  million  of  transaction  costs  directly  related  to  the  Medicis
acquisition, which includes $39.2 million of expenses incurred with respect to an agreement with Galderma
S.A  (‘‘Galderma’’)  which,  among  other  things,  includes  an  upfront  payment  and  royalties  to  be  paid  to
Galderma  on  sales  of  Sculptra(cid:4).  The  agreement  also  resolved  all  claims  asserted  in  Galderma’s  pending
litigation  related  to  the  Company’s  acquisition  of  Medicis.  Acquisition-related  costs  also  include
expenditures  for  advisory,  legal,  valuation,  accounting  and  other  similar  services.  These  costs  have  been
expensed as acquisition-related costs.

Revenue and Net Loss of Medicis

The revenues of Medicis for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2012 were $51.2 million,
and the net loss, net of tax, was $135.6 million. The net loss, net of tax, includes the effects of the acquisition
accounting adjustments and acquisition-related costs.

OraPharma

Description of the Transaction

On June 18, 2012, the Company acquired OraPharma Topco Holdings, Inc. (‘‘OraPharma’’), a specialty oral
health company located in the U.S. that develops and commercializes products that improve and maintain
oral health. The Company made an up-front payment of $289.3 million, and the Company may pay a series
of contingent consideration payments of up to $114.0 million based on certain milestones, including certain
revenue targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $99.2 million as of the
acquisition  date,  for  a  total  fair  value  of  consideration  transferred  of  $388.5  million.  As  of  December  31,
2012,  the  assumptions  used  for  determining  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  have  not  changed
significantly from those used at the acquisition date. The Company also repaid at the closing $37.9 million
of assumed debt.
OraPharma’s lead product is Arestin(cid:4), a locally administered antibiotic for the treatment of periodontitis
that  utilizes  an  advanced  controlled-release  delivery  system  and  is  indicated  for  use  in  conjunction  with
scaling and root planing for the treatment of adult  periodontitis.

(b) The  measurement  period  adjustments  primarily  reflect:  (i)  changes  in  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  Arestin(cid:4)  product  brand;
(ii) the reclassification of intangible assets from product brands to IPR&D; (iii) a decrease in the total fair value of consideration
transferred  due  to  a  working  capital  adjustment;  and  (iv)  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.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The  Company  has  incurred  to  date  $3.5  million  of  transaction  costs  directly  related  to  the  OraPharma
acquisition, 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 of OraPharma

The  revenues  of  OraPharma  for  the  period  from  the  acquisition  date  to  December  31,  2012  were
$53.9 million, and the net loss, net of tax, was $3.7 million. The net loss, net of tax, includes the effects of
the acquisition accounting adjustments and acquisition-related costs.

Other Business Combinations

Description of the Transactions

In  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  completed  other  business  combinations,  which
included the following businesses, as well as other smaller acquisitions, for an aggregate purchase price of
$809.2  million.  The  aggregate  purchase  price  included  contingent  consideration  obligations  with  an
aggregate acquisition date fair value of $44.2 million.

(cid:127) On  October  2,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  from  Johnson  &  Johnson  Consumer
Companies,  Inc.  (‘‘J&J  ROW’’)  for  a  purchase  price  of  $41.9  million,  relating  to  the  rights  in  various
ex-North American territories to the over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) consumer brands Caladryl(cid:4) and Shower
to Shower(cid:4).

(cid:127) On  September  28,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  from  Johnson  &  Johnson  Consumer
Companies, Inc. (‘‘J&J North America’’) for a purchase price of $107.3 million, relating to the U.S. and
Canadian  rights  to  the  OTC  consumer  brands  Ambi(cid:4),  Caladryl(cid:4),  Corn  Huskers(cid:4),  Cortaid(cid:4),  Purpose(cid:4)
and Shower to Shower(cid:4).

(cid:127) On September 24, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from QLT Inc. and QLT Ophthalmics, Inc.
(collectively, ‘‘QLT’’) relating to Visudyne(cid:4), which is used to treat abnormal growth of leaky blood vessels
in  the  eye  caused  by  wet  age-related  macular  degeneration.  The  consideration  paid  included  up-front
payments of $62.5 million for the assets related to the rights to the product in the U.S. and $50.0 million
for  the  assets  related  to  the  rights  to  the  product  outside  the  U.S.  The  Company  may  pay  a  series  of
contingent payments of up to $20.0 million relating to non-U.S. royalties and development milestones for
QLT’s  laser  program  in  the  U.S.  In  addition,  the  Company  will  pay  royalties  on  sales  of  potential  new
indications for Visudyne(cid:4) in the U.S. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be
$7.9 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2012, the assumptions used for determining
fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  have  not  changed  significantly  from  those  used  at  the
acquisition date.

(cid:127) On May 23, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from University Medical Pharmaceuticals Corp.
(‘‘University  Medical’’),  a  specialty  pharmaceutical  company  located  in  the  U.S.  focused  on  skincare
products,  including  the  rights  to  University  Medical’s  main  brand  AcneFree(cid:5),  a  retail  OTC  acne
treatment. The consideration includes up-front payments of $65.0 million, and the Company may pay a
series  of  contingent  consideration  payments  of  up  to  $40.0  million  if  certain  net  sales  milestones  are
achieved.  The  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  was  determined  to  be  $1.5  million  as  of  the
acquisition  date.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  assumptions  used  for  determining  fair  value  of  the
contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those  used  at the acquisition date.

(cid:127) On  May  2,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  from  Atlantis  Pharma  (‘‘Atlantis’’),  a  branded
generics  pharmaceutical  company 
located  in  Mexico,  for  up-front  payments  of  $65.5  million
(MXN$847.3 million), and the Company placed an additional $8.9 million (MXN$114.7 million) into an
escrow account. The amounts in escrow will be paid to the sellers only if certain regulatory milestones are
achieved  and  therefore  such  amounts  were  treated  as  contingent  consideration.  The  fair  value  of  the
contingent  consideration  was  determined  to  be  $7.6  million  as  of  the  acquisition  date.  As  of
December 31, 2012, the assumptions used for determining fair value of the contingent consideration have
not  changed  significantly  from  those  used  at  the  acquisition  date.  Since  the  acquisition  date,  certain
amounts have been released from escrow to the sellers, reducing the escrow balance to $8.2 million as of
December 31, 2012. The escrow balance is treated as restricted cash and is included in Prepaid expenses

and other current assets and Other long-term assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Atlantis  has  a  broad  product  portfolio,  including  products  in  gastro,  analgesics  and  anti-inflammatory
therapeutic categories.

(cid:127) On  March  13,  2012,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  from  Gerot  Lannach,  a  branded  generics
pharmaceutical  company  based  in  Austria.  The  Company  made  an  up-front  payment  of  $164.0  million
(A125.0  million),  and  the  Company  may  pay  a  series  of  contingent  consideration  payments  of  up  to
$19.7 million (A15.0 million) if certain net sales milestones are achieved. The fair value of the contingent
consideration was determined to be $16.8 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2012, the
assumptions  used  for  determining  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  have  not  changed
significantly from those used at the acquisition date. As part of the transaction, the Company also entered
into a ten-year exclusive supply agreement with Gerot Lannach for the acquired products. Approximately
90% of sales relating to the acquired assets are in Russia, with sales also made in certain Commonwealth
of  Independent  States  (CIS)  countries  including  Kazakhstan  and  Uzbekistan.  Gerot  Lannach’s  largest
product  is acetylsalicylic acid, a low dose aspirin.

(cid:127) On February 1, 2012, the Company acquired Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. (‘‘Probiotica’’), which markets
OTC sports nutrition products and other food supplements in Brazil, for a purchase price of $90.5 million
(R$158.0 million).

(a) The measurement period adjustments primarily relate to the Probiotica acquisition and primarily reflect: (i) the elimination of
the liability for uncertain tax positions; (ii) the changes in the estimated fair value of the corporate brand intangible asset; and
(iii) a decrease in the total fair value of consideration transferred due to a working capital 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 $29.8 million, with the gross contractual amount being $31.1 million, of

which the Company expects that $1.3 million will  be  uncollectible.

(c) Assets held for sale relate to a product brand acquired in the Atlantis acquisition. Subsequent to that acquisition, the plan of sale
changed, and the Company no longer intends to sell the asset. Consequently, the product brand is not classified as an asset held
for sale as of December 31, 2012.

(e) Other non-current liabilities, and the corresponding indemnification assets, primarily relate to certain asserted and unasserted
claims  against  Probiotica,  which  include  potential  tax-related  obligations  that  existed  at  the  acquisition  date.  The  Company  is
indemnified  by  the  sellers  in  accordance  with  indemnification  provisions  under  its  contractual  arrangements.  Indemnification
assets  and  contingent  liabilities  were  recorded  at  the  same  amount  and  classified  in  the  same  manner,  as  components  of  the
purchase  price,  representing  our  best  estimates  of  these  amounts  at  the  acquisition  date,  in  accordance  with  guidance  for  loss
contingencies and uncertain tax positions. Under the Company’s contractual arrangement with Probiotica, there is no limitation
on the amount or value of indemnity claims that can be made by the Company; however there is a time restriction of either two
or five years, depending on the nature of the claim. Approximately $12.9 million (R$22.5 million) of the purchase price for the
Probiotica transaction from the date of acquisition has been placed in escrow in accordance with the indemnification provisions.
The  escrow  account  will  be  maintained  for  two  years,  with  50%  being  released  to  the  sellers  after  the  first  year,  and  the
remaining balance released after the second year. The Company expects the total amount of such indemnification assets to be
collectible from the sellers.

(f)

The goodwill relates primarily to the Probiotica acquisition. 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. The Company
expects that the Probiotica’s goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded from the J&J ROW, J&J North
America,  QLT,  University  Medical,  Atlantis  and  Gerot  Lannach  acquisitions  represents  primarily  the  cost  savings,  operating
synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations with those of the Company. Probiotica’s goodwill
recorded represents the following:

(cid:127) the Company’s expectation to develop and market new product brands and product lines in the future;

(cid:127) the value associated with the Company’s ability to develop relationships with new customers;

(cid:127) the value of the continuing operations of Probiotica’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

(cid:127) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Probiotica’s assembled workforce).

The amount of the goodwill from the J&J North America, QLT and University Medical acquisitions has been allocated to the
Company’s  U.S.  Dermatology  segment.  The  amount  of  goodwill  from  the  J&J  ROW,  Probiotica,  Atlantis  and  Gerot  Lannach
acquisitions, has been allocated to the Company’s Emerging Markets segment.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The Company has incurred to date $9.4 million, in the aggregate, of transaction costs directly related to the
other  business  combinations,  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 of Other Business Combinations

The  revenues  of  the  other  business  combinations  for  the  period  from  the  respective  acquisition  dates  to
December 31, 2012 were $178.8 million, in the aggregate, and the net loss, net of tax, was $14.3 million, in
the  aggregate.  The  net  loss,  net  of  tax,  includes  the  effects  of  the  acquisition  accounting  adjustments  and
acquisition-related costs.

(b) Business combinations in 2011 included  the following:

iNova

Description of the Transaction

On  December  21,  2011,  the  Company  acquired  iNova  from  Archer  Capital,  Ironbridge  Capital  and  other
minority  management  shareholders.  The  Company  made  upfront  payments  of  $656.7  million
(AUD$657.9  million)  and  the  Company  may  pay  a  series  of  potential  milestones  of  up  to  $59.9  million
(AUD$60.0  million)  based  on  the  success  of  pipeline  activities,  product  registrations  and  overall  revenue.
The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $44.5 million as of the acquisition date,
for a total fair value of consideration transferred of $701.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012,
the Company recognized a net gain of $10.3 million primarily due to changes in the estimated probability of
achieving  the  milestones.  The  net  gain  was  recognized  as  Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  in
the consolidated statement of (loss) income.

In  connection  with  the  transaction,  in  November  and  December  2011,  the  Company  entered  into  foreign
currency forward-exchange contracts to buy AUD$625.0 million, which were settled on December 20, 2011.
The Company recorded a $16.4 million foreign exchange gain on the settlement of these contracts, which
was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for the year
ended December 31, 2011.

iNova sells and distributes a range of prescription and OTC products in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and
South Africa, including leading therapeutic weight management brands such as Duromine(cid:4)/Metermine(cid:4), as
well as leading OTC brands in the cold  and cough  area, such as Difflam(cid:4), Duro-Tuss(cid:4) and Rikodeine(cid:4).

of  pre-tax  measurement  period  adjustments;  (ii)  changes  in  the  estimated  fair  value  of  an  intangible  asset  and  the  related
inventory;  (iii)  additional  information  obtained  with  respect  to  the  fair  value  of  an  acquired  manufacturing  facility;  and
(iv) additional information obtained with respect to the valuation of compensation-related liabilities. 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

(f) 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:

(cid:127) cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of iNova with those of

the Company;

(cid:127) the  value  of  the  continuing  operations  of  iNova’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

(cid:127) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, iNova’s assembled workforce).

The goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Canada and Australia segment ($119.5 million) and the Company’s Emerging
Markets segment ($82.4 million).

Dermik

Description of the Transaction

On  December  16,  2011,  the  Company  acquired  Dermik,  a  dermatological  unit  of  Sanofi  in  the  U.S.  and
Canada, as well as the worldwide rights to Sculptra(cid:4) and Sculptra(cid:4) Aesthetic, for a total cash purchase price
of  approximately  $421.6  million.  The  acquisition  includes  Dermik’s  inventories  and  manufacturing  facility

Sanitas

Description of the Transaction

On  August  19,  2011  (the  ‘‘Sanitas  Acquisition  Date’’),  the  Company  acquired  87.2%  of  the  outstanding
shares of AB Sanitas (‘‘Sanitas’’) for cash consideration of $392.3 million. Prior to the Sanitas Acquisition
Date,  the  Company  acquired  1,502,432  shares  of  Sanitas,  which  represented  approximately  4.8%  of  the
outstanding shares. As a result, as of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company held a controlling financial
interest in Sanitas of 92%, or 28,625,025 shares. The acquisition date fair value of the 8% noncontrolling
interest  in  Sanitas  of  $34.8  million,  and  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  the  previously-held  4.8%  equity
interest of $21.1 million, were estimated using quoted market prices  on  such date.

As of the Sanitas Acquisition Date, the Company reclassified the unrealized loss of $0.2 million related to
the  previously-held  equity  interest  from  other  comprehensive  income  to  earnings,  which  was  included  in
Gain (loss) on investments, net in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

On  September  2,  2011,  the  Company  announced  a  mandatory  non-competitive  tender  offer  (the  ‘‘Tender
Offer’’)  to  purchase  the  remaining  outstanding  ordinary  shares  of  Sanitas  from  all  public  shareholders  at
A10.06 per share. The Tender Offer closed on September 15, 2011, on which date the Company purchased
an additional 1,968,631 shares (6.4% of the outstanding shares of Sanitas) for approximately $27.4 million.
As a result of this purchase, the Company owned 30,593,656 shares or approximately 98.4% of Sanitas as of
September 15, 2011.

On September 22, 2011, the Company received approval from the Securities Commission of the Republic of
Lithuania to conduct the mandatory tender offer through squeeze out procedures (the ‘‘Squeeze Out’’) at a
price per one ordinary share of Sanitas equal to A10.06, which requested that all minority shareholders sell
to  the  Company  the  ordinary  shares  of  Sanitas  owned  by  them  (512,264  ordinary  shares,  or  1.6%
of Sanitas).

As  the  Company  maintained  a  controlling  financial  interest  in  Sanitas  during  the  Tender  Offer,  the
additional  ownership  interest  of  6.4%  acquired  in  Sanitas  was  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction

between owners. The noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of approximately 1.6% to be acquired through the
Squeeze Out procedures was classified as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as it was
mandatorily redeemable. As of December 31, 2012, the amount due to Sanitas shareholders of $2.4 million
was included in Accrued liabilities and other current liabilities.

Sanitas  has  a  broad  branded  generics  product  portfolio  consisting  of  390  products  in  nine  countries
throughout  Central  and  Eastern  Europe,  primarily  Poland,  Russia  and  Lithuania.  Sanitas  has  in-house
development  capabilities  in  dermatology,  hospital  injectables  and  ophthalmology,  and  a  pipeline  of
internally developed and acquired dossiers.

(e) 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:

(cid:127) cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Sanitas with those of

the Company;

(cid:127) the value of the continuing operations of Sanitas’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

(cid:127) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Sanitas’s assembled workforce).

The goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Emerging Markets  segment.

Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)

On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL (‘‘Meda’’) to
acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel(cid:4) Cream and Xerese(cid:4) Cream in the U.S., Canada
and Mexico. In addition, the Company and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect
of Elidel(cid:4) and Xerese(cid:4) products. The Company made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million with an
obligation to pay a series of potential milestone payments of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties
totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, the Company will pay a double-
digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel(cid:4), Xerese(cid:4) and Zovirax(cid:4), including additional minimum royalties
of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights
to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax(cid:4) from GSK in the first quarter of 2011 (as described in
note 4).
The  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)  transaction  has  been  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination  under  the  acquisition
method  of  accounting.  The  fair  value  of  the  upfront  and  contingent  consideration,  inclusive  of  minimum
and  variable  royalty  payments,  was  determined  to  be  $437.7  million  as  of  the  acquisition  date.  As  the
majority  of  the  contingent  consideration  relates  to  future  royalty  payments,  the  amount  ultimately  to  be
paid under this arrangement will be dependent on the future sales levels of Elidel(cid:4), Xerese(cid:4), and Zovirax(cid:4).
In  accordance  with  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting,  the  royalty  payments  associated  with  this
transaction are treated as part of the consideration paid for the business, and therefore the Company will
not  recognize  royalty  expense  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income  for  these  products.  The
royalty  payments  are  being  recorded  as  a  reduction  to  the  acquisition-related  contingent  consideration
liability.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  made  $88.0  million  and

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)

$28.5 million, respectively, of acquisition-related contingent consideration payments, including royalties and
milestones,  related  to  this  transaction.  In  January  2013,  the  Company  made  additional  royalty  payments
totaling  $14.5  million.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  recognized  a  net  loss  of
$6.5  million  primarily  driven  by  fair  value  adjustments  to  reflect  accretion  for  the  time  value  of  money,
partially  offset  by  changes  in  the  projected  revenue  forecast.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  the
Company recognized a loss of $11.2 million due to changes in fair value of acquisition-related contingent
consideration primarily due to accretion to reflect the time value of money. The net loss for the year ended
December  31,  2012  and  2011  was  recognized  as  Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  in  the
consolidated statements of (loss) income.

The total fair value of the consideration transferred has been assigned to product brands intangible assets
($406.4  million),  acquired  IPR&D  assets  ($33.5  million)  and  a  net  deferred  income  tax  liability
($(2.2)  million).  The  product  brands  intangible  assets  have  an  estimated  weighted-average  useful  life  of
approximately  eight  years.  The  acquired  IPR&D  asset  relates  to  the  development  of  a  Xerese(cid:4)  life-cycle
product.  The  projected  cash  flows  from  the  acquired  IPR&D  asset  were  adjusted  for  the  probability  of
successful development and commercialization of the product. In determining the fair value of this asset, we
used a risk-adjusted discount rate of 13% to present value the projected cash flows. In the fourth quarter of
2012, the Company recognized an IPR&D impairment charge of $24.7 million related to this asset due to
higher  projected  development  spend  and  revised  timelines  for  potential  commercialization.  See  note  12
titled  ‘‘INTANGIBLE  ASSETS  AND  GOODWILL’’  for  further  information  regarding  IPR&D  asset
impairments recognized in 2012.

PharmaSwiss

Description of the Transaction

On  March  10,  2011,  the  Company  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  stock  of  PharmaSwiss  S.A.
(‘‘PharmaSwiss’’),  a  privately-owned  branded  generics  and  OTC  pharmaceutical  company  based  in  Zug,
Switzerland.  As  of  the  acquisition  date,  the  total  consideration  transferred  to  effect  the  acquisition  of
PharmaSwiss  comprised  cash  paid  of  $491.2  million  (A353.1  million)  and  the  rights  to  contingent
consideration payments of up to $41.7 million (A30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss
were achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be
$27.5 million as of the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a
gain of $13.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The
gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of (loss)
income.  In  May  2012,  the  Company  made  a  contingent  consideration  payment  of  $12.4  million
(A10.0 million) based on the net sales results for the 2011 calendar year. There are no remaining contingent
consideration payments under this arrangement.

In connection with the transaction, in February 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-
exchange contracts to buy A130.0 million, which were settled on March 9, 2011. The Company recorded a
$5.1 million gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was partially offset by a foreign exchange loss
of  $2.4  million  recognized  on  the  remaining  A220.0  million  bought  to  finance  the  transaction.  The  net
foreign  exchange  gain  of  $2.7  million  was  recognized  in  Foreign  exchange  and  other  in  the  consolidated
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional
expertise  in  such  functions  as  regulatory,  compliance,  sales,  marketing  and  distribution,  in  addition  to
developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product

Biovail Merger with Valeant

Description of the Transaction

On  September  28,  2010,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Biovail  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  equity  of
Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted
into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. The share consideration was valued at $26.35 per
share  based  on  the  market  price  of  Biovail’s  common  shares  as  of  the  Merger  Date.  In  addition,
immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger, Valeant paid its stockholders a special dividend of
$16.77 per share (the ‘‘pre-Merger special dividend’’) of Valeant common stock. As a result of the Merger,
Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary  of  Biovail.

On  December  22,  2010,  the  Company  paid  a  post-Merger  special  dividend  of  $1.00  per  common  share
(the ‘‘post-Merger special dividend’’). The post-Merger special dividend comprised aggregate cash paid of
$297.6  million  and  72,283  shares  issued  to  shareholders  that  elected  to  reinvest  in  additional  common
shares of the Company through a special dividend reinvestment plan, which plan was terminated following
payment of the post-Merger special dividend.

Basis of Presentation

The  transaction  has  been  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination  under  the  acquisition  method  of
accounting,  which  requires,  among  other  things,  the  share  consideration  transferred  be  measured  at  the
acquisition  date  based  on  the  then-current  market  price  and  that  most  assets  acquired  and  liabilities
assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related transaction costs

and  certain  acquisition-related  restructuring  charges  are  not  included  as  a  component  of  the  acquisition
accounting, but are accounted for as  expenses  in the  periods in which the  costs are  incurred.

(a) As the Merger was effective at 12:01 a.m. on September 28, 2010, the conversion calculation reflects the closing price of Biovail’s

common shares on the New York Stock  Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’) at September 27, 2010.

(b) The  fair  value  of  the  vested  and  partially  vested  portions  of  Valeant  stock  options  that  were  converted  into  stock  options  of
Biovail was recognized as a component of the consideration transferred, based on a weighted-average fair value of $17.63 per
stock option, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This calculation considered the closing price of
Biovail’s common shares of $26.35 per share as of  the Merger Date and the following assumptions:

Expected volatility . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

32.9%
3.4 years
1.1%
1.5%

The expected life of the options was determined by taking into account the contractual life of the options and estimated exercise
pattern  of  the  option  holders.  The  expected  volatility  and  risk-free  interest  rate  were  determined  based  on  current  market
information,  and  the  dividend  yield  was  derived  based  on  the  expectation  of  the  post-Merger  special  dividend  of  $1.00  per
common share of the Company and no dividends thereafter.

The fair values of the exchanged Biovail stock options exceeded the fair values of the vested and partially vested Valeant stock
options as of the Merger Date in an amount of $17.2 million, which was recognized immediately as post-Merger compensation
expense.

(c) The  fair  value  of  the  vested  portion  of  Valeant  time-based  and  performance-based  RSUs  converted  into  RSUs  of  Biovail  was
recognized  as  a  component  of  the  purchase  price.  The  fair  value  of  the  vested  portion  of  the  Valeant  time-based  RSUs  was
determined based on the closing price of Biovail’s common shares of $26.35 per share as of the Merger Date. The fair value of
Valeant performance-based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables
to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved.

The  fair  value  of  the  exchanged  Biovail  time-based  RSUs  exceeded  the  fair  value  of  the  vested  and  partially  vested  Valeant
time-based  RSUs  as  of  the  Merger  Date  in  an  amount  of  $3.8  million,  which  was  recognized  immediately  as  post-Merger
compensation expense.

(d) Cash consideration includes $39.7 million of income tax withholdings paid by the Company on behalf of employees of Valeant, in
connection with the net share settlement of certain vested Valeant RSUs as of the Merger Date. In addition, under the terms of
the Company’s employment agreement with J. Michael Pearson, Chief Executive Officer, cash equal to the pre-Merger special
dividend payment was paid to Mr. Pearson in respect of any of his 2008 performance awards that vested in February 2011 at the
time  of  such  vesting.  As  of  the  Merger  Date,  the  aggregate  amount  of  this  cash  payment  in  respect  of  the  pre-Merger  special
dividend was estimated to be $13.7 million, based on the assumption that Mr. Pearson’s 2008 performance awards will vest at the
maximum performance target. Of that amount, the portion attributable to Mr. Pearson’s pre-Merger service ($12.1 million) was
recognized  in  the  fair  value  of  consideration  transferred,  while  the  portion  attributable  to  Mr.  Pearson’s  post-Merger  service
($1.6 million) was recognized as share-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period from the Merger Date to
February 2011.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the Merger Date, as well as measurement period adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in 2010.
The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s previously reported
results of operations or financial position in any period subsequent to the Merger Date and, therefore, the
Company has not retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements.

(g) Acquired  IPR&D  assets  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value  and  are  classified  as  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  until  the
successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. The significant components of the
acquired  IPR&D  assets  relate  to  the  development  of  ezogabine/retigabine  in  collaboration  with  Glaxo  Group  Limited,  a
subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline plc (the entities within The Glaxo Group of Companies are referred throughout as ‘‘GSK’’), as an
adjunctive treatment for refractory partial-onset seizures in adult patients with epilepsy (as described in note 5), and a number of
dermatology  products  in  development  for  the  treatment  of  severe  acne  and  fungal  infections,  among  other  indications.  The

A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired
IPR&D  assets.  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 9% was used to present value the projected cash flows. See
note  12  titled  ‘‘INTANGIBLE  ASSETS  AND  GOODWILL’’  for  further  information  regarding  IPR&D  asset  impairments
recognized in 2012 and 2011.

Includes accounts payable, accrued liabilities  and  income  taxes payable.

(i) As described in note 14, concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Valeant issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of
6.75% senior notes due 2017 (the ‘‘2017 Notes’’) and $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2020
(the  ‘‘2020  Notes’’).  A  portion  of  the  proceeds  of  the  2017  Notes  and  2020  Notes  offering  was  used  to  pay  down  $1.0  billion
outstanding under previous term loan B facility.

(2)

4% Convertible Notes were redeemed in the second quarter of 2011.For further details regarding the settlement of the 4%
Convertible Notes, see note 14 titled ‘‘SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT’’.

Comprises  current  deferred  tax  assets  ($68.5  million),  non-current  deferred  tax  assets  ($4.3  million),  current  deferred  tax
liabilities ($6.5 million) and non-current deferred tax liabilities ($1,376.3 million).

Includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to Valeant’s acquisition of Princeton Pharma Holdings LLC, and its
wholly-owned  operating  subsidiary,  Aton  Pharma,  Inc.  (‘‘Aton’’),  on  May  26,  2010.  The  aggregate  fair  value  of  the  contingent
consideration  was  determined  to  be  $21.6  million  as  of  the  Merger  Date.  The  contingent  consideration  consists  of  future
milestones predominantly based upon the achievement of approval and commercial targets for certain pipeline products (which
are included in the fair value ascribed to the IPR&D assets acquired, as described above under (g)). As a result of an agreement
entered  in  the  third  quarter  of  2012,  the  future  milestones  that  the  Company  may  be  required  to  pay  with  respect  to  the
acquisition of Aton, have been reduced by $190.0 million, from  up to $390.0 million to up to $200.0 million.

The  Company  assumed  Valeant’s  existing  call  option  agreements  in  respect  of  the  shares  underlying  the  conversion  of
$200.0  million  principal  amount  of  the  4.0%  Convertible  Notes.  These  agreements  consisted  of  purchased  call  options  on
15,813,338 common shares of the Company, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of
shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. For further details regarding the settlement of these call options, see note 14 titled
‘‘SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND  LONG-TERM DEBT’’.

In  addition,  the  Company  assumed  written  call  option  agreements  in  respect  of  3,863,670  common  shares  of  the  Company
underlying  Valeant’s  3.0%  convertible  subordinated  notes  that  matured  in  August  2010.  The  written  call  options  on  shares
underlying  the  3.0%  convertible  subordinated  notes  expired  on  November  15,  2010,  and  were  settled  over  the  following
30 business days. On November 19, 2010, the call option agreements were amended to require cash settlement, resulting in the
reclassification of the $32.8 million fair value of the written call options as a liability as of that date. The Company recognized a
loss  of  $10.1  million  on  the  written  call  options  settled  for  cash,  which  has  been  included  in  loss  on  extinguishment  of  debt
(as  described in note 19).

(m) Goodwill  is  calculated  as  the  difference  between  the  Merger  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:

(cid:127) cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of Valeant with those

of Biovail;

(cid:127) the value of the going-concern element of Valeant’s existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net

assets versus if Biovail had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

(cid:127) intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Valeant’ assembled workforce), as well as future, as

yet unidentified research and development projects.

Pro Forma Impact of Business Combinations

The  following  table  presents  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  results  of  operations  for  the  years  ended
December  31,  2012  and  2011,  as  if  the  Medicis,  J&J  ROW,  J&J  North  America,  QLT,  OraPharma,

and  the  PharmaSwiss,  Sanitas,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  iNova  and  Afexa  acquisitions  had  occurred  as  of
January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma information does not include the license agreement entered into
in June 2011 to acquire the rights to Elidel(cid:4) and Xerese(cid:4), as the impact is immaterial to these pro forma
results  and  it  was  impracticable  to  obtain  the  necessary  historical  information  as  discrete  financial
statements  for  these  product  lines  were  not  prepared.  In  addition,  the  unaudited  pro  forma  information
does  not  include  the  Dermik  acquisition,  as  it  was  impracticable  to  obtain  the  necessary  historical
information as discrete financial statements were  not prepared.

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, Medicis, J&J ROW, J&J
North America, QLT, OraPharma, University Medical, Atlantis, Gerot Lannach, Probiotica, PharmaSwiss,
Sanitas,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  iNova  and  Afexa.  Except  to  the  extent  realized  in  the  year  ended
December  31,  2012,  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  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  the  unaudited  pro  forma  information  does  not
reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with those of Medicis, J&J ROW, J&J North
America, QLT, OraPharma, University Medical, Atlantis, Gerot Lannach, Probiotica, PharmaSwiss, Sanitas,
Ortho Dermatologics, iNova and Afexa.

The  unaudited  pro  forma  information  is  not  necessarily  indicative  of  what  the  Company’s  consolidated
results  of  operations  actually  would  have  been  had  the  Medicis,  J&J  ROW,  J&J  North  America,  QLT,
OraPharma, University Medical, Atlantis, Gerot Lannach and Probiotica acquisitions and the PharmaSwiss,
Sanitas,  Ortho  Dermatologics,  iNova  and  Afexa  acquisitions  been  completed  on  January  1,  2011  and
January 1, 2010, 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
adjustments  consistent  with  the  unaudited  pro  forma  information  related  to  the  following  unaudited
pro forma adjustments related to these acquisitions:

(cid:127) elimination of Medicis’, J&J ROW’s, J&J North America’s, QLT’s, OraPharma’s, University Medical’s,
Atlantis’,  Gerot  Lannach’s,  Probiotica’s,  PharmaSwiss’,  Sanitas’,  Ortho  Dermatologics’,  iNova’s  and

(cid:127) additional  depreciation  expense  related  to  fair  value  adjustment  to  property,  plant  and  equipment

acquired;

(cid:127) additional interest expense associated with the financing obtained by the Company in connection with the

various acquisitions;

(cid:127) the exclusion from pro forma earnings in the year ended December 31, 2012 of the acquisition accounting
adjustments  on  Medicis’,  J&J  ROW’s,  J&J  North  America’s,  QLT’s,  iNova’s,  Ortho  Dermatologics’,
Afexa’s,  Probiotica’s,  OraPharma’s,  University  Medical’s,  and  Atlantis’  inventories  that  were  sold
subsequent to the acquisition date of $58.1 million, in the aggregate, and the exclusion of $72.1 million of
acquisition-related  costs,  in  the  aggregate,  incurred  primarily  for  the  Medicis,  J&J  ROW,  J&J  North
America, QLT, OraPharma, University Medical, Atlantis, Gerot Lannach, and Probiotica acquisitions in
the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  and  the  inclusion  of  those  amounts  in  pro  forma  earnings  for  the
corresponding comparative periods.

The  pro  forma  revenue  and  earnings  include  the  historical  financial  information  of  the  significant
acquisition  completed  by  Medicis  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  as  if  such  acquisition  was
consummated as of January 1, 2011.

The pro forma earnings also exclude amortization of inventory step-up that arose from the Merger that was
recognized  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011.  Such  amounts  were  included  in  the  applicable
comparative period for purposes of pro forma financial information.

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

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Dermik,  the  Company  was  required  by  the  FTC  to  divest  1%
clindamycin  and  5%  benzoyl  peroxide  gel  (‘‘IDP-111’’),  a  generic  version  of  BenzaClin(cid:4),  and  5%
fluorouracil cream (‘‘5-FU’’), an authorized generic of Efudex(cid:4).

On February 3, 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the
Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the
carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less
costs  to  sell.  The  adjusted  carrying  values  of  $54.4  million  and  $14.8  million  for  IDP-111  and  5-FU,
respectively, were classified as Assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2011  and  were  included  within  the  U.S.  Dermatology  reporting  segment.  IDP-111  and  5-FU  were
considered non-core products with respect to the Company’s business strategy, which contemplates, on an
ongoing basis, the selective purchase and sale of products and assets with a focus on core geographies and
therapeutic classes. The Company, therefore, considers the sale or the out-license of non-core products to
be part of its ongoing major and central operations. Accordingly, proceeds on the sale of non-core products
are  recognized  as  alliance  revenue,  with  the  associated  costs,  including  the  carrying  amount  of  related
assets,  recorded  as  cost  of  alliance  revenue.  In  connection  with  the  sale  of  the  IDP-111  and  5-FU,  the
Company  recognized  $66.3  million  of  cash  proceeds  as  alliance  revenue  in  the  first  quarter  of  2012  and
expensed the carrying amounts of the IDP-111 and 5-FU assets of $69.2 million, in the aggregate, as cost of
alliance  revenue.  The  cash  proceeds  from  this  transaction  are  classified  within  investing  activities  in  the
consolidated statements of cash flows.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (Continued)

Cloderm(cid:4)
On March 31, 2011, the Company out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm(cid:4) Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to
Promius  Pharma  LLC,  an  affiliate  of  Dr.  Reddy’s  Laboratories,  in  exchange  for  a  $36.0  million  up-front
payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. The Cloderm(cid:4) product rights
intangible asset was recorded at a fair value of $31.8 million as of the Merger Date, and had a remaining
unamortized  carrying  value  of  $30.7  million  at  March  31,  2011.  Cloderm(cid:4)  was  considered  a  non-core
product  with  respect  to  the  Company’s  business  strategy.  Accordingly,  the  Company  recognized  the
up-front payment as alliance revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and expensed the carrying amount of the
Cloderm(cid:4)  intangible  assets  as  cost  of  alliance  revenue.  The  cash  proceeds  from  this  transaction  are
classified within investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company recognizes
the royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

Zovirax(cid:4)

On  February  22,  2011  and  March  25,  2011,  the  Company  acquired  the  U.S.  and  Canadian  rights,
respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax(cid:4) from GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the
asset purchase agreements, the Company paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both
the  U.S.  and  Canadian  rights.  The  Company  had  been  marketing  Zovirax(cid:4)  in  the  U.S.  since  January  1,
2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated
following  the  closing  of  the  U.S.  transaction.  The  Company  has  entered  into  new  supply  agreements  and
new trademark license agreements with GSK with  respect to  the U.S.  and  Canadian  territories.

This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the purchase
price (including costs of acquisition) was allocated to the product brand intangible asset, with an estimated
weighted-average  useful  life  of  11  years.  In  addition,  the  Company  reclassified  the  $91.4  million
unamortized  carrying  amount  of  the  original  exclusive  distribution  agreement  from  product  rights  to  the
product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over the  same  11-year  estimated  useful life.

Lodalis(cid:5)
On February 9, 2011, the Company acquired the Canadian rights to Lodalis(cid:5) (colesevelam hydrochloride)
from  Genzyme  Corporation  (‘‘Genzyme’’)  for  a  $2.0  million  upfront  payment  and  potential  future
milestone payments. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative
future  use  and,  accordingly,  the  upfront  payment  was  charged  to  in-process  research  and  development
impairments and other charges as of the acquisition date. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company made
a  first  milestone  payment  of  $2.0  million  to  Genzyme,  which  was  charged  to  in-process  research  and
development impairments and other charges in the period. In September 2011, colesevelam hydrochloride
received  regulatory  approval  from  Health  Canada,  in  the  form  of  a  Notice  of  Compliance  (‘‘NOC’’),  for
commercialization in Canada, which triggered an additional milestone payment of $5.0 million, which the
Company  paid  in  October  2011.  The  Company  recognized  this  milestone  as  an  intangible  asset  in  its
consolidated  balance  sheet.  Subsequently,  the  Company  filed  for  a  product  name  change  and  a
manufacturer  name  change,  and  the  NOC  for  Lodalis(cid:5)  was  received  from  Health  Canada  on
December 28, 2011.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (Continued)

Istradefylline

On  June  2,  2010,  the  Company  entered  into  a  license  agreement  with  Kyowa  Hakko  Kirin  Co.,  Ltd.
(‘‘Kyowa  Hakko  Kirin’’)  to  acquire  the  U.S.  and  Canadian  rights  to  develop  and  commercialize  products
containing istradefylline — a new chemical entity targeted  for the treatment  of Parkinson’s disease.

Under  the  terms  of  the  license  agreement,  the  Company  paid  an  upfront  fee  of  $10.0  million.  This
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly,
the $10.0 million upfront payment, together with $0.2 million of acquisition costs, was charged to in-process
research and development impairments  and other charges in the second  quarter of 2010.

In April 2007, Kyowa Hakko Kirin filed an NDA for istradefylline, which received a Not Approvable letter
from the FDA in February 2008. The FDA requested a Complete Response to the Not Approvable letter
before considering to meeting with us and discussing the regulatory approval process for istradefylline. The
Company determined the available data, including additional studies conducted in Japan, did not support
FDA  approval  of  istradefylline.  As  a  result,  the  agreement  with  Kyowa  Hakko  Kirin  was  terminated  on
June 2, 2011. No termination fees or penalties were paid in connection with the termination.

Ampakine(cid:4)
On  March  25,  2010,  the  Company  acquired  certain  Ampakine(cid:4)  compounds,  including  associated
intellectual  property,  from  Cortex  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (‘‘Cortex’’)  for  use  in  the  field  of  respiratory
depression, a brain-mediated breathing disorder. The acquired compounds include the Phase 2 compound
CX717 in an oral formulation, the pre-clinical compounds CX1763 and CX1942, and the injectable dosage
form  of  CX1739.  This  acquisition  was  accounted  for  as  a  purchase  of  IPR&D  assets  with  no  alternative
future use. Accordingly, upfront payments totaling $10.0 million made by the Company to Cortex, together
with  $0.7  million  of  acquisition  costs,  were  charged  to  in-process  research  and  development  impairments
and other charges in the first quarter of 2010.
As described in note 6, the Company suspended development of the Ampakine(cid:4) compounds. The program
was sold back to Cortex on March 15, 2011 for an upfront  fee of  $0.2 million.

Staccato(cid:4) Loxapine

On  February  9,  2010,  the  Company  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement  with  Alexza
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (‘‘Alexza’’)  to  acquire  the  U.S.  and  Canadian  development  and  commercialization
rights  to  AZ-004  for  the  treatment  of  psychiatric  and/or  neurological  indications  and  the  symptoms
associated with these indications, including the initial indication of treating agitation in schizophrenia and
bipolar  patients.  AZ-004  combines  Alexza’s  proprietary  Staccato(cid:4)  drug-delivery  system  with  the
antipsychotic  drug  loxapine.  This  acquisition  was  accounted  for  as  a  purchase  of  IPR&D  assets  with  no
alternative  future  use.  Accordingly,  the  $40.0  million  upfront  payment  made  by  the  Company  to  Alexza,
together  with  $0.3  million  of  acquisition  costs,  was  charged  to  in-process  research  and  development
impairments and other charges in the  first quarter  of 2010.

On October 8, 2010, Alexza received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding the NDA for
AZ-004, in which the FDA indicated that the NDA was not ready for approval.

As described in note 6, the Company has terminated the collaboration and license agreement with Alexza.

5. COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS

GSK  Collaboration Agreement

In October 2008, Valeant closed the worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement (the ‘‘Collaboration
Agreement’’)  with  GSK  to  develop  and  commercialize  a  first-in-class  neuronal  potassium  channel  opener
for  treatment  of  adult  epilepsy  patients  with  refractory  partial  onset  seizures  and  its  backup  compounds,
whose  generic  name  will  be  ezogabine  in  the  U.S.  and  retigabine  in  all  other  countries.  Pursuant  to  the
terms  of  the  Collaboration  Agreement,  Valeant  granted  co-development  rights  and  worldwide
commercialization rights to GSK.

Valeant  agreed  to  share  equally  with  GSK  the  development  and  pre-commercialization  expenses  of
ezogabine/retigabine  in  the  U.S.,  Australia,  New  Zealand,  Canada  and  Puerto  Rico  (the  ‘‘Collaboration
Territory’’). Following the launch of an ezogabine/retigabine product, the Company will share equally in the
profits  of  ezogabine/retigabine  in  the  Collaboration  Territory.  In  addition,  Valeant  granted  GSK  an
exclusive  license  to  develop  and  commercialize  retigabine  in  countries  outside  of  the  Collaboration
Territory  and  certain  backup  compounds  to  ezogabine/retigabine  worldwide.  GSK  is  responsible  for  all
expenses  outside  of  the  Collaboration  Territory  and  will  solely  fund  the  development  of  any  backup
compound.  The  Company  will  receive  up  to  a  20%  royalty  on  net  sales  of  retigabine  outside  of  the
Collaboration  Territory.  In  addition,  if  backup  compounds  are  developed  and  commercialized  by  GSK,
GSK  will  pay  the  Company  royalties  of  up  to  20%  of  net  sales  of  products  based  upon  such  backup
compounds.

indications 

the  development  of  additional 

Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, GSK will pay the Company up to $545.0 million, of which
$45.0 million and $40.0 million was received and recognized by the Company in the second quarter of 2012
and  2011,  respectively,  as  described  below,  based  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  regulatory,
commercialization  and  sales  milestones,  and 
for
ezogabine/retigabine.  GSK  will  also  pay  the  Company  up  to  an  additional  $150.0  million  if  certain
regulatory and commercialization milestones are achieved for backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine.
In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt(cid:4) (retigabine) as an
adjunctive  treatment  of  partial  onset  seizures,  with  or  without  secondary  generalization  in  adults  aged
18  years  and  above  with  epilepsy.  In  June  2011,  the  FDA  approved  the  NDA  for  Potiga(cid:5)  (ezogabine)
tablets  as  adjunctive  treatment  of  partial-onset  seizures  in  patients  aged  18  years  and  older;  however,  the
FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances
Act  prior  to  the  marketing  or  launch  of  Potiga(cid:5).  In  December  2011,  ezogabine/retigabine  received
scheduling as a controlled substance,  which triggered  the commencement of amortization.
In  connection  with  the  first  sale  of  Potiga(cid:5)  in  the  U.S.  (which  occurred  in  April  2012),  GSK  paid  the
Company a $45.0 million milestone payment, and the Company will share up to 50% of the net profits from
the sale of Potiga(cid:5). In addition, in connection with the first sale of Trobalt(cid:4) by GSK in the European Union
(which occurred in May 2011), GSK paid the Company a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up
to  a  20%  royalty  on  net  sales  of  the  product.  As  substantive  uncertainty  existed  at  the  inception  of  the
Collaboration  Agreement  as  to  whether  the  milestones  would  be  achieved  because  of  the  uncertainty
involved  with  obtaining  regulatory  approval,  no  amounts  were  previously  recognized  for  these  potential
milestone payments. The milestone payments (1) relate solely to past performance of the Company, (2) are
reasonable relative to the other deliverables and payment terms within the Collaboration Agreement, and
(3)  are  commensurate  with  the  Company’s  efforts  in  collaboration  with  GSK  to  achieve  the  milestone
events  and  the  increase  in  value  of  ezogabine/retigabine.  Accordingly,  the  milestones  are  considered
substantive,  and  the  milestone  payments  are  being  recognized  by  the  Company  as  alliance  and  royalty
revenue upon achievement.

5. COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS (Continued)

The  Company’s  rights  to  ezogabine/retigabine  are  subject  to  an  asset  purchase  agreement  between  Meda
Pharma  GmbH  &  Co.  KG  (‘‘Meda  Pharma’’)  and  Xcel  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  which  was  acquired  by
Valeant in 2005 (the ‘‘Meda Pharma Agreement’’). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, the Company is
required  to  make  certain  milestone  and  royalty  payments  to  Meda  Pharma.  Within  the  U.S.,  Canada,
Australia  and  New  Zealand,  any  royalty  payments  to  Meda  Pharma  will  be  shared  by  the  Company  and
GSK. In the rest of the world, the Company will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda
Pharma from the royalty payments it receives from GSK. In connection with the approval of the NDA for
Potiga(cid:5), the Company made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Meda Pharma in the second quarter of
2011. As this potential milestone payment had been included in the estimated net future cash flows used to
determine the fair value for the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets as of the Merger Date, the payment of
this  milestone to Meda Pharma was  recorded as an addition to the  value of  those assets.

Joint Ventures with Meda AB

In 2008 and 2009, the Company entered into arrangements with Meda AB (‘‘Meda’’) for the creation of a
joint venture company (each, a ‘‘Valeant-Meda JV’’) in each of Canada, Australia and Mexico. Currently,
the Canadian and Australian Valeant-Meda JVs are involved in the commercialization of certain products
in Canada and Australia, respectively.

Bristol-Myers Collaboration and Option Agreements

On  October  1,  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  collaboration  and  option  agreements  with  Bristol-Myers
Squibb  Company  (‘‘Bristol-Myers’’)  whereby  Bristol-Myers  granted  the  Company  additional  rights  for
approximately two years in several European countries to promote, market and sell a variety of products,
including Monopril(cid:4), Cefzil(cid:4), Duracef(cid:4) and Megace(cid:4). Prior to these agreements, the Company was selling
many of these products in other territories. The collaboration agreement expires January 1, 2015, at which
time the Company may exercise an option to acquire all rights, and associated intellectual property, to the
products in both the previous and new territories. As consideration for the rights under the collaboration
and  option  agreements,  including  a  reduced  supply  price  on  the  products  sold  by  the  Company  prior  to
these agreements and the purchase of inventory on hand, the Company made payments to Bristol-Myers in
the fourth quarter of 2012 totaling $83.3 million. If the Company elects to exercise the option to acquire the
incremental rights described above, the Company will make an additional payment to Bristol-Myers in an
amount to be determined based on net sales performance of the products. The majority of the $83.3 million
in  payments  was  allocated,  based  on  relative  fair  values,  to  the  value  of  the  option,  which  is  included  in
other  long-term  assets  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  The  remaining  portion  was  allocated  to
intangible assets, other current assets,  and  inventory.

Collaboration Agreements Assumed in Connection with the  Medicis Acquisition

In  connection  with  the  Medicis  acquisition,  the  Company  assumed  several  research  and  development
collaboration  agreements,  including  the  arrangements  described  below.  As  part  of  the  Company’s
integration efforts, these collaboration arrangements will be evaluated which could result in future contract
termination costs incurred by the Company.

Development and License Agreement with a  specialty pharmaceutical company

On  March  30,  2012,  Medicis  entered  into  a  Development  and  License  Agreement  with  a  specialty
pharmaceutical  company  pursuant  to  which  Medicis  obtained  exclusive  worldwide  rights  for  the
development and commercialization of an investigational drug targeted at certain topical skin applications.

Under  the  terms  of  the  agreement,  the  Company  may  pay  up  to  $80.0  million  upon  the  achievement  of
certain research, development and regulatory milestones and up to $120.0 million upon the achievement of
certain  commercial milestones, as well as royalties on future  sales.

Research and Development Agreement  with Anacor

On  February  9,  2011,  Medicis  entered  into  a  research  and  development  agreement  with  Anacor
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (‘‘Anacor’’)  for  the  discovery  and  development  of  boron-based  small  molecule
compounds directed against a target for the potential treatment of acne. Under the terms of the agreement,
the  Company  may  pay  up  to  $153.0  million  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  research,  development,
regulatory  and  commercial  milestones,  as  well  as  royalties  on  sales  by  the  Company.  Anacor  will  be
responsible  for  discovering  and  conducting  the  early  development  of  product  candidates  which  utilize
Anacor’s  proprietary  boron  chemistry  platform,  while  the  Company  will  have  an  option  to  obtain  an
exclusive license for products covered  by the  agreement.

Collaboration with  a privately-held U.S.  biotechnology company

On September 10, 2010, Medicis and a privately-held U.S. biotechnology company entered into a sublicense
and development agreement to develop an agent for specific dermatological conditions in the Americas and
Europe and a purchase option to acquire the privately-held U.S.  biotechnology company.

Under  the  terms  of  the  agreements,  the  Company  may  make  payments  to  the  privately-held
U.S. biotechnology company of up to $75.0 million upon successful completion of certain clinical, regulatory
and commercial milestones.

Joint  Development Agreement with Lupin

On July 21, 2011, Medicis entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the ‘‘Original Lupin Agreement’’)
with  Lupin  Limited,  on  behalf  of  itself  and  its  affiliates  (hereinafter  collectively  referred  to  as  ‘‘Lupin’’),
whereby  Medicis  and  Lupin  will  collaborate  to  develop  multiple  novel  proprietary  therapeutic  products.
Pursuant to the Original Lupin Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Medicis
was  to  make  payments  to  Lupin  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  research,  development,  regulatory  and
other  milestones,  as  well  as  royalty  payments  on  sales  of  the  products  covered  under  the  Original  Lupin
Agreement. In addition, Medicis was to receive an exclusive, worldwide (excluding India) license on the sale
of the products covered under the Original Lupin Agreement.

On March 30, 2012, Medicis entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Development Agreement, with
Lupin (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Joint Development Agreement’’), which modified the list of products
being developed. The Company may make payments to Lupin of up to $35.5 million upon the achievement
of certain research, development, regulatory and other milestones, as well as royalty payments on sales of
the products covered under the Amended and Restated Joint Development Agreement, which supersedes
the payments that Medicis would have made under the Original Lupin Agreement. In addition, Medicis will
receive  an  exclusive,  worldwide  (excluding  India)  license  on  the  sale  of  the  products  covered  under  the
Amended and Restated Joint Development  Agreement.

6. RESTRUCTURING, INTEGRATION AND OTHER CHARGES

Medicis Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The  Company  has  implemented  cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives  to  capture  operating
synergies and generate cost savings across  the Company. These measures included:

(cid:127) workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

(cid:127) closing  of  duplicative  facilities  and  other  site  rationalization  actions  company-wide,  including  research

and development facilities, sales offices  and corporate facilities;

(cid:127) leveraging research and development  spend; and

(cid:127) procurement savings.

The Company estimated that it will incur total costs in the range of up to $275 million in connection with
these  cost-rationalization  and  integration  initiatives,  which  are  expected  to  be  substantially  completed  by
the end of 2013. $85.6 million has been incurred as of December 31, 2012. These costs include: employee
termination costs payable to approximately 750 employees of the Company and Medicis who have been or
will be 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  development
model;  costs  to  consolidate  or  close  facilities  and  relocate  employees;  and  contract  termination  and  lease
cancellation  costs.  These  estimates  do  not  include  a  charge  of  $77.3  million  recognized  and  paid  in  the
fourth  quarter  of  2012  related  to  the  acceleration  of  unvested  stock  options,  restricted  stock  awards,  and
share appreciation rights for Medicis employees that  was triggered by the change in  control.

The Company recognized employee termination costs of $1.7 million, $14.5 million and $58.7 million in the
years  ended  December  31,  2012,  December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010,  respectively,  for  severance
and  related  benefits  payable  to  approximately  500  employees  of  Biovail  and  Valeant  who  have  been
terminated as a result of the Merger. These reductions primarily reflect the elimination of redundancies and
consolidation of staff in the research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing
functions. As of December 31, 2012, $76.0 million of the termination costs had  been paid.

The Company recognized an additional $3.5 million in share-based compensation expense in the year ended
December  31,  2011,  related  to  stock  options  and  RSUs  held  by  terminated  employees  of  Biovail
and Valeant.

Research and Development Pipeline Rationalization

Prior to the Merger, the Company’s product development and business development efforts were focused
on unmet medical needs in specialty CNS disorders. Since the Merger, the Company has been employing a
leveraged  research  and  development  model  that  allows  it  to  progress  development  programs,  while
minimizing research and development expense, through partnerships and other means. In consideration of
this  model,  following  the  Merger,  the  Company  conducted  a  strategic  and  financial  review  of  its  product
development pipeline and identified the programs that did not align with the Company’s new research and
development model. These programs are outlined in the table below. In respect of the Staccato(cid:4) loxapine,
GDNF,  tetrabenazine,  fipamezole  and  pimavanserin  programs,  the  Company  provided  notices  of
termination  to,  or  entered  into  termination  agreements  with,  the  counterparties  to  the  agreements.
Regarding  the  Ampakine(cid:4)  program,  the  Company  suspended  development  of  these  compounds  and  the
program was sold back to Cortex on  March 15, 2011 for  an upfront fee  of  $0.2 million.

6. RESTRUCTURING, INTEGRATION AND OTHER CHARGES (Continued)

In  addition  to  the  settlement  payments  identified  in  the  table  above,  the  Company  incurred  internal  and
external costs of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 that were directly associated with the fulfillment
of  its  remaining  contractual  obligations  under  these  terminated  arrangements,  which  costs  have  been
recognized as restructuring costs.

Contract Termination, Facility Closure and Other  Costs

Facility closure costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2012 included an incremental $10.2 million
charge for the remaining operating lease obligations related to the Company’s vacated Mississauga, Ontario
corporate office facility.

Facility closure costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2011 included a $9.8 million charge for the
remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained)
related to the Company’s vacated Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility and a charge of $1.4 million
related to a lease termination payment on the Company’s Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility.
The Company has transitioned a number of its corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a
result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility have been reoccupied, resulting
in a $2.0 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

In  addition  to  costs  associated  with  the  Company’s  Medicis  acquisition-related  and  Merger-related
initiatives  shown  in  the  tables  above,  the  Company  incurred  an  additional  $167.0  million  of  other
restructuring,  integration-related  and  other  costs  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  including
(i) $73.5 million of integration consulting, duplicate labor, transition service, and other, (ii) $57.6 million of
severance  costs,  (iii)  $17.6  million  of  facility  closure  costs  and  (iv)  $18.3  million  of  other  costs,  including
non-personnel manufacturing integration costs. The Company also made payments of $147.5 million during
the  year  ended  December  31,  2012.  In  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  incurred
$50.9  million  of  integration-related  costs,  of  which  $37.5  million  had  been  paid  as  of  December  31,  2011.
The costs in 2012 and 2011 were primarily related to the acquisitions of Medicis, Dermik, iNova, Sanitas,
OraPharma, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa, PharmaSwiss, and a U.S. restructuring in 2012 focused primarily
on  a  reduction  in  the  prescription  dermatology  field  force,  the  global  consolidation  of  the  Company’s
manufacturing facilities, and systems integration initiatives.

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

(cid:127) Level 1 — Quoted prices in active  markets for  identical  assets or liabilities;

(cid:127) 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

(cid:127) 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.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and level  2 during the year  ended December  31, 2012.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on  a Recurring Basis Using Significant  Unobservable
Inputs (Level 3)

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  years  ended  December  31,  2012
and 2011:

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2012, a net gain of $5.3 million was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration
in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The Acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain was primarily driven
by  (i)  a  net  gain  of  $10.3  million  related  to  the  iNova  acquisition,  primarily  due  to  changes  in  the  estimated  probability  of
achieving  the  milestones,  partially  offset  by  (ii)  a  net  loss  of  $6.5  million  related  to  the  Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)  license  agreement,
primarily  driven  by  fair  value  adjustments  to  reflect  accretion  for  the  time  value  of  money,  partially  offset  by  changes  in  the
projected revenue forecast resulting from the FDA’s denial of the Company’s Citizen’s Petition regarding Zovirax(cid:4) ointment, as
described in note 3.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  $11.0  million  was  recognized  as  Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  in  the
consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income.  The  Acquisition-related  contingent  consideration  gain  was  primarily  driven  by  a
$13.2 million gain related to assessment of the net sales milestones for the 2011 calendar year with respect to the PharmaSwiss
acquisition  and  a  $9.4  million  gain  related  to  assessment  of  the  milestones  with  respect  to  the  A002  program,  which  was
suspended in 2011. These gains were partially offset by fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money
related to the Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4)  license agreement.

(2) Relates primarily to the OraPharma, Gerot Lannach, QLT, Atlantis and University Medical acquisitions as described in note 3.

(3) Relates primarily to payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the Elidel(cid:4)/Xerese(cid:4) license agreement

and the PharmaSwiss acquisition.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company also held investments in auction rate floating securities assumed in
connection with the Medicis acquisition, which are classified as available-for-sale securities and reflected at
fair value (level 3).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

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

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent
to  initial  recognition  included  an  (i)  IPR&D  asset  related  to  a  Xerese(cid:4)  life-cycle  product.  The  Company
recognized  an  impairment  charge  in  2012  of  $24.7  million  in  In-process  research  and  development
impairments and other charges related to this asset due to higher projected development spend and revised
timelines for potential commercialization. The adjusted carrying amount of $8.8 million as of December 31,
2012 for this asset was equal to its estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows
and  represents  Level  3  inputs;  (ii)  intangible  assets  related  to  certain  suncare  and  skincare  brands  sold
primarily in Australia, which are classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company
recognized  impairment  charges  in  2012  of  $31.3  million  for  these  brands  in  Amortization  of  intangible
assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. These charges included an allocation of goodwill of
$12.8  million  based  on  the  relative  fair  value  of  these  brands  as  compared  to  the  total  fair  value  of  the
Australia reporting unit. The adjusted carrying amount of $60.5 million for these assets, in the aggregate, is
equal to their estimated fair values less costs to sell, which was determined using discounted cash flows and
represents Level 3 inputs; and (iii) intangible asset related to the Dermaglow(cid:4) product classified as held for
sale  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  Company  recognized  impairment  charges  in  2012  of
$18.7  million  for  the  Dermaglow(cid:4)  product  in  Amortization  of  intangible  assets  in  the  consolidated
statements  of  (loss)  income.  The  adjusted  carrying  amount  of  $2.2  million  for  this  asset  is  equal  to  its
estimated  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell,  which  was  determined  using  discounted  cash  flows  and  represents
Level 3 inputs.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent
to initial recognition included intangible assets related to the IDP-111 and 5-FU products classified as held
for  sale  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.  Refer  to  note  4  for  additional  information.  The  Company
recognized  impairment  charges  in  2011  of  $7.9  million  and  $19.8  million  for  IDP-111  and  5-FU,
respectively,  in  Amortization  of  intangible  assets  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income.  The
adjusted carrying amounts of $54.4 million and $14.8 million for IDP-111 and 5-FU, respectively, are equal
to  estimated  fair  value,  less  costs  to  sell,  which  was  based  on  observable  market  prices  and  represents
Level 2 inputs. On February 3, 2012,  the Company sold the  IDP-111 and 5-FU products.

Also, the Company recognized impairment charges on IPR&D assets of $105.2 million in the fourth quarter
of 2011 in In-process research and development impairments and other charges, relating to the A002, A004,
and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010 described above under note 3, as well
as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs. The adjusted carrying amounts of $12.6 million as of
December  31,  2011,  in  the  aggregate,  for  these  assets  were  equal  to  their  estimated  fair  value,  which  was
determined using discounted cash flows and  represents Level 3 inputs.

For  further  information  regarding  asset  impairment  charges,  see  note  12  titled  ‘‘INTANGIBLE  ASSETS

In the year ended December 31, 2012, the increase in raw materials and the allowance for obsolescence is
primarily driven by (i) the 2012 acquisitions of businesses, including the QLT transaction where a significant
amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient was acquired, and the Medicis acquisition, and (ii) investments
in inventory to support growth of the business and manufacturing integration initiatives. For further details

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012,  the  Company  recognized  an  IPR&D  impairment  charge  of  $24.7  million  related  to  a  Xerese(cid:4)
life-cycle product (U.S. Dermatology segment) due to higher projected development spend and revised timelines for potential
commercialization.  In  the  third  quarter  of  2012,  the  Company  wrote  off  an  IPR&D  asset  of  $133.4  million,  relating  to  the
IDP-107 program (U.S. Dermatology segment), which was acquired in September 2010 as part of the Merger described in note 3.
Through discussion with various internal and external Key Opinion Leaders, the Company completed its analysis of the Phase 2
study  results  for  IDP-107  during  the  third  quarter  of  2012.  This  led  to  the  Company’s  decision  in  the  third  quarter  of  2012  to
terminate  the  program  and  fully  impair  the  asset.  As  attempts  to  identify  a  partner  for  the  program  were  not  successful,  the
Company  does  not  believe  the  program  has  value  to  a  market  participant.  In  addition,  in  the  second  quarter  of  2012,  the
Company wrote off $4.3 million relating to the termination of the MC5 program (U.S. Dermatology segment) acquired as part of
the Ortho Dermatologics acquisition in 2011 described in note 3. 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  (loss)  income  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2012.

In addition, a $12.0 million payment in the third quarter of 2012 to terminate a research and development commitment with a
third party was included in In-process research and development impairments and other charges in the consolidated statements
of  (loss) income.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Company  recognized  impairment  charges  on  IPR&D  assets  of  $105.2  million  in  the  fourth
quarter of 2011, relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs (U.S. Neurology and Other segment) acquired as part of the
Aton acquisition in 2010 described above in note 3, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 programs (U.S. Dermatology segment).
The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from
the  FDA  which  would  result  in  the  incurrence  of  higher  costs  to  perform  additional  studies,  reassessment  of  risk  and  the
probability  of  success,  and/or  pipeline  prioritization  decisions  resulting  in  the  re-allocation  of  Company  resources  to  other
research  and  development  programs.  The  impairment  charges  on  IPR&D  assets  were  recorded  in  In-process  research  and
development  impairments  and  other  charges  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  (loss)  income  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2011.

Brazil Uncommitted Line of Credit

On September 25, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary in Brazil entered into an uncommitted unsecured line of
credit  with  a  financial  institution  for  total  availability  of  R$21.9  million  ($10.7  million  at  December  31,
2012). This uncommitted line of credit bears an interest rate of the Interbank Deposit Certificate Rate plus
0.23%  per  month  and  was  renewed  on  February  26,  2013.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had
$10.5  million  of  borrowings  under  this  line  of  credit.  The  effective  interest  rate  on  the  drawn  borrowings
was approximately 0.8% per month.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On  February  13,  2012,  the  Company  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  as  guarantors  entered  into  the  Third
Amended  and  Restated  Credit  and  Guaranty  Agreement  (the  ‘‘Credit  Agreement’’)  with  a  syndicate  of
financial  institutions  and  investors.  As  of  that  date,  the  Credit  Agreement  provided  for  a  $275.0  million
revolving credit facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and
a sublimit for swing line loans (the ‘‘Revolving Credit Facility’’), a $2.225 billion senior secured term loan A
facility  (the  ‘‘Term  Loan  A  Facility’’)  and  a  $600.0  million  senior  secured  term  loan  B  facility  (the  ‘‘Term
Loan  B  Facility’’).  The  Revolving  Credit  Facility  matures  on  April  20,  2016  and  does  not  amortize.  The
Term Loan A Facility matures on April 20, 2016 and began amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2012 at an
initial  annual  rate  of  5.0%.  The  amortization  schedule  under  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility  will  increase  to
10.0% annually commencing March 31, 2013 and 20.0% annually commencing March 31, 2014, payable in
quarterly  installments.  The  Term  Loan  B  Facility  matures  on  February  13,  2019  and  began  amortizing
quarterly on June  30, 2012 at an annual rate  of  1.0%.

On  June  14,  2012,  the  Company  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  as  guarantors  entered  into  a  joinder
agreement to increase the Term Loan B Facility by $600.0 million of incremental term loans to $1.2 billion.
In addition, on July 9, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder
agreement to increase the Term Loan B Facility by an additional $100.0 million of incremental term loans to
$1.3  billion  (the  Term  Loan  B  Facility  as  so  amended,  the  ‘‘Amended  Term  Loan  B  Facility’’).  The
incremental term loans mature on February 13, 2019, began amortizing quarterly on September 30, 2012 at
an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms that are  consistent  with the  Company’s Term Loan B Facility.

agreement to increase the amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by $175.0 million to
an  aggregate  of  $450.0  million  (the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  as  so  amended,  the  ‘‘New  Revolving  Credit
Facility’’).

On  October  2,  2012,  the  Company  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  as  guarantors  entered  into  a  joinder
agreement  to  reprice  and  refinance  the  Amended  Term  Loan  B  Facility  (the  ‘‘Repricing  Transaction’’)  by
the  issuance  of  $1.3  billion  in  new  incremental  term  loans  (the  ‘‘New  Term  Loan  B  Facility’’).  The
incremental term loans under the New Term Loan B Facility mature on February 13, 2019, begin amortizing
quarterly on March 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms consistent with the Amended Term
Loan B Facility. In connection with the refinancing of the Amended Term Loan B Facility pursuant to the
Repricing Transaction, the Company paid a prepayment premium of approximately $13.0 million, equal to
1.0%  of  the  refinanced  term  loans  under  the  Amended  Term  Loan  B  Facility.  In  addition,  repayments  of
outstanding loans under the New Term Loan B Facility in connection with certain refinancings on or prior
to October 2, 2013 require a prepayment premium of  1.0% of such loans prepaid.

In  connection  with  the  Medicis  acquisition,  on  December  11,  2012,  the  Company  issued  $1.0  billion  in
incremental term B loans (the ‘‘Incremental Term Loan B Facility’’ and together with the New Revolving
Credit  Facility,  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  and  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility,  the  ‘‘Senior  Secured  Credit
Facilities’’).  The  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  matures  on  December  11,  2019,  begins  amortizing
quarterly on March 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 1.0% and has terms consistent with the New Term Loan
B Facility.

As of December 31, 2012, $2,083.5 million in term loans was outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility,
$1,275.2 million in term loans was outstanding under the New Term Loan B Facility, $974.0 million in term
loans was outstanding under the Incremental Term Loan B Facility and the Company had no outstanding
borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

The loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be made to, and the letters of credit under the
New Revolving Credit Facility may be issued on behalf of, the Company. All borrowings under the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a
default or an event of default and the accuracy in all material respects of representations and warranties.

Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher
of (1) the rate of interest quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as
the Prime Rate (currently defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation’s
30 largest banks) and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus  1⁄2 of 1% or (b) a LIBO rate determined by
reference  to  the  costs  of  funds  for  U.S.  dollar  deposits  for  the  interest  period  relevant  to  such  borrowing
adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin
for  borrowings  under  the  New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility  was  1.75%  with
respect  to  base  rate  borrowings  and  2.75%  with  respect  to  LIBO  rate  borrowings.  Interest  rates  for  the
New Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility are subject to increase or decrease quarterly
based  on  leverage  ratios.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  effective  rate  of  interest  on  the  Company’s
borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility was 3.52% and 3.27%
per  annum, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the applicable margin for borrowings under both the New Term Loan B Facility
and the Incremental Term Loan B Facility was 2.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.25% with
respect to LIBO rate borrowings, subject to a 1.0% LIBO rate floor. As of December 31, 2012, the effective

required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding
letters  of  credit  in  an  amount  equal  to  the  applicable  margin  on  LIBO  rate  borrowings  under  the
New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  on  a  per  annum  basis,  payable  quarterly  in  arrears,  as  well  as  customary
fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit  and agency fees.

Subject  to  certain  exceptions  and  customary  baskets  set  forth  in  the  Credit  Agreement,  the  Company  is
required  to  make  mandatory  prepayments  of  the  loans  under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  under
certain circumstances, including from (a) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales outside the ordinary
course  of  business  (subject  to  reinvestment  rights),  (b)  100%  of  the  net  cash  proceeds  of  insurance  and

threshold), (c) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity securities subject to decrease based
on  leverage  ratios,  (d)  100%  of  the  net  cash  proceeds  from  the  incurrence  of  debt  (other  than  permitted
debt as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (e) 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the
Credit  Agreement) subject to decrease based on leverage ratios.

The  Company  is  permitted  to  voluntarily  reduce  the  unutilized  portion  of  the  revolving  commitment
amount and repay outstanding loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium
or penalty, other than customary ‘‘breakage’’ costs with respect to LIBO rate loans. Except for repayments
of  outstanding  loans  under  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  and  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  in
connection  with  certain  refinancings  on  or  prior  to  October  2,  2013,  the  Company  is  permitted  to
voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan A Facility, the New Term Loan B Facility and the
Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  at  any  time  without  premium  or  penalty,  other  than  customary
‘‘breakage’’ costs with respect to LIBO rate loans. Repayments of outstanding loans under the New Term
Loan  B  Facility  and  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  in  connection  with  certain  refinancings  on  or
prior to October 2, 2013 require a prepayment premium of 1.0% of such loans prepaid.

The Company’s obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities
and certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  (or  affiliates  thereof)  are  secured  by  first-priority  security  interests  in

Company  and  each  of  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  (other  than  Valeant)  that  is  a  guarantor  of  the  Senior

5.375% Convertible Notes

On June 10, 2009, the Company issued $350.0 million principal amount of 5.375% senior convertible notes
due August 1, 2014 (the ‘‘5.375% Convertible Notes’’). The 5.375% Convertible Notes mature on August 1,
2014. The 5.375% Convertible Notes were issued at par and pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year. The 5.375% Convertible Notes may be converted based on a current conversion rate
of  69.6943  common  shares  of  the  Company  per  $1,000  principal  amount  of  notes,  which  represents  a
conversion  price  of  approximately  $14.35  per  share.  The  conversion  rate  was  adjusted  on  the  Company
specified types of distributions or enters into certain other transactions in respect of its common shares. In
addition,  following  certain  corporate  transactions  that  occurred  prior  to  maturity,  the  conversion  rate
increased for holders who elected to convert their holdings in connection with such corporate transactions.

The 5.375% Convertible Notes were convertible at any time prior to the maturity date under the following
circumstances:

(cid:127) during any calendar quarter if the closing price of the Company’s common shares exceeds 130% of the

conversion price then in effect during  a defined period  at the end of the previous quarter;

14. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS  AND LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

(cid:127) during  a  defined  period  if  the  trading  price  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  falls  below  specified

thresholds for a defined trading period;

(cid:127) if  the 5.375% Convertible Notes have been called for  redemption;

(cid:127) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions;  or

(cid:127) 25 trading days prior to the maturity  date.

Upon conversion, the 5.375% Convertible Notes would be settled in cash, common shares, or a combination
of cash and common shares, at the Company’s  option.

The Company could redeem for cash all or a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes at any time on or
after August 2, 2012, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes to
be  redeemed,  plus  any  accrued  and  unpaid  interest,  if  during  a  defined  period  the  closing  price  of  the
Company’s common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect. The Company could not
otherwise  redeem  any  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  at  its  option  prior  to  maturity,  except  upon  the
occurrence of certain changes to the laws  governing Canadian withholding taxes.

At the date of issuance, the principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was allocated into a liability
component and an equity component. The liability component was fair valued at $293.3 million, based on a
9.5% market rate of interest for similar debt with no conversion rights. The value allocated to the liability
component  is  being  accreted  to  the  face  value  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  over  the  five-year  period
prior  to  maturity,  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  accretion  of  the  liability  component  was  being
recognized  as  additional  non-cash  interest  expense.  The  difference  between  the  principal  amount  of  the
5.375% Convertible Notes and the value allocated to the liability component of $56.7 million was recorded
in additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity, as the  carrying amount of the equity component.

In connection with the issuance of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, the Company incurred financing costs of
$16.5  million,  which  were  allocated  to  the  liability  and  equity  components  in  proportion  to  the  preceding
allocation of the principal amount of the  5.375% Convertible Notes.

On  June  29,  2012,  the  Company  distributed  a  notice  of  redemption  to  holders  of  the  Company’s  5.375%
Convertible  Notes  to  redeem  all  of  the  outstanding  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  on  August  2,  2012
(the ‘‘Redemption Date’’), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount,
plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  to,  but  excluding,  the  Redemption  Date.  On  August  1,  2012,  all  of  the
outstanding  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  were  converted  by  holders,  and  on  September  5,  2012,  they  were
settled 100% in cash in the aggregate amount of $62.1 million.

Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 5.375% Convertible
Notes  was  $16.0  million  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability  component  was  $18.3  million.  The
difference  of  $2.3  million  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability
component  was  recognized  as  a  loss  on  extinguishment  of  debt  in  the  three-month  period  ended
September  30,  2012.  The  difference  of  $43.8  million  between  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability
component  of  $18.3  million  and  the  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $62.1  million  resulted  in  charges  to
additional paid-in capital and accumulated  deficit  of $0.2  million and  $43.6 million, respectively.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011  and  2010,  the  Company  repurchased  $1.1  million,
$205.0  million  and  $126.3  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes,
respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million, $623.3 million and $259.2 million, respectively.

4.0% Convertible Notes

As  described  in  note  3,  in  connection  with  the  Merger,  the  Company  assumed  $225.0  million  aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Valeant’s 4.0% Convertible Notes. Interest on the 4.0% Convertible Notes
was  payable  semi-annually  on  May  15  and  November  15  of  each  year.  The  4.0%  Convertible  Notes  were
scheduled to mature on November 15, 2013. Valeant had the right to redeem the 4.0% Convertible Notes,
in whole or in part, at their principal amount on or after May 20, 2011. The 4.0% Convertible Notes were
convertible into common shares of the Company at a current conversion rate of 79.0667 shares per $1,000
principal  amount  of  notes  (which  represents  a  conversion  price  of  approximately  $12.65  per  share),
reflecting an adjustment to account for the pre-Merger special dividend, the exchange ratio for the Merger
and the post-Merger special dividend.

The fair value of $220.5 million allocated to the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, as of
the  Merger  Date,  was  being  accreted  to  the  face  value  of  the  4.0%  Convertible  Notes  through  the  debt
maturity date of November 15, 2013, using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate on
the liability component of the 4% Convertible Notes was 4.62%. The accretion of the liability component
was recognized as an additional non-cash  interest expense.

On  April  20,  2011,  the  Company  distributed  a  notice  of  redemption  to  holders  of  Valeant’s  4.0%
Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on
May  20,  2011  (the  ‘‘Redemption  Date’’),  at  a  redemption  price  of  100%  of  the  outstanding  aggregate
principal  amount,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  to,  but  excluding,  the  Redemption  Date.  The  4.0%
Convertible  Notes  called  for  redemption  could  be  converted  at  the  election  of  the  holders  at  any  time
before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes
were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common
shares  per  $1,000  principal  amount  of  notes,  which  represented  a  conversion  price  of  approximately
$12.65 per share.

Immediately  prior  to  settlement,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  liability  component  of  the  4.0%  Convertible
Notes  was  $221.3  million  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability  component  was  $226.0  million.  The
difference  of  $4.7  million  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability
component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended June 30,
2011.  The  difference  of  $666.0  million  between  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  liability  component  of
$226.0  million  and  the  aggregate  fair  value  of  the  common  shares  issued  to  effect  the  settlement  of
$892.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $226.0 million and
$440.0 million, respectively.

With  respect  to  Valeant’s  call  option  agreements  in  respect  of  the  shares  underlying  the  conversion  of
$200.0  million  principal  amount  of  the  4.0%  Convertible  Notes,  these  agreements  consisted  of  purchased
call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the
identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options
were  to  be  settled  in  common  shares  of  the  Company.  In  June  2011,  11,479,365  common  shares  were
received on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently
cancelled.

In  September  2011,  Valeant  amended  the  written  call  option  agreements  so  that  Valeant  could  elect  to
settle all or some of the written call options in cash. In the third quarter of 2011, Valeant paid $66.9 million
in cash and issued 7,518,595 of its common shares on a net-share basis to settle the written call options. In
October 2011, 961,461 common shares were issued on a net-share basis to complete the settlement of the
written call options.

Commitment Letter

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Medicis,  the  Company  and  its  subsidiary,  Valeant,  entered  into  a
commitment  letter,  dated  as  of  September  2,  2012,  with  JPMorgan  Chase  Bank,  N.A.  and  J.P.  Morgan
Securities  LLC  to  provide  up  to  $2.75  billion  through  a  bridge  loan  facility.  On  September  11,  2012,  the
Company  and  Valeant  entered  into  an  amended  and  restated  commitment  letter  with  JPMorgan  Chase
Bank,  N.A.,  J.P.  Morgan  Securities  LLC  and  other  financial  institutions.  Subsequently,  the  Company
obtained  $2.75  billion  in  financing  through  a  syndication  of  $1.0  billion  in  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B
Facility under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes in
the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  $1.75  billion.  Consequently,  the  commitment  under  the  commitment
letter  to  provide  the  bridge  loan  facility  was  not  utilized  and  terminated  on  December  11,  2012,
concurrently with the closing of the Medicis acquisition. As a result, the Company wrote off of $8.0 million
of deferred financing costs.

the  Company  matches  a  portion  of  the  employee  contributions.  The  Company  contributed  $2.8  million,
$2.1  million  and  $2.9  million  to  these  plans  in  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011  and  2010,
respectively.

Outside of the U.S., a limited group of Valeant employees are covered by defined benefit retirement and
post-employment plans. The Company assumed all of Valeant’s defined benefit obligations and related plan
assets in connection with the Merger. The Company contributed $1.8 million and $1.0 million to these plans
in  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  projected
benefit  obligation  of  these  plans  totaled  $7.0  million,  which  exceeded  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  of
$1.3  million  by  $5.7  million.  The  Company  has  recognized  the  under-funded  financial  position  of  these
plans  in  accrued  liabilities  ($0.4  million)  and  other  long-term  liabilities  ($5.3  million)  as  of  December  31,
2012.  The  net  periodic  benefit  cost  of  these  plans  amounted  to  $1.5  million  and  $2.1  million  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the net periodic
cost of was not material to the Company’s results of operations.

16. SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On  November  4,  2010,  the  Company  announced  that  its  board  of  directors  had  approved  a  securities
repurchase  program,  pursuant  to  which  the  Company  could  make  purchases  of  our  common  shares,
convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion,
subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. On August 29, 2011,
the  Company  announced  that  its  board  of  directors  had  approved  an  increase  of  $300.0  million  under  its
securities  repurchase  program  (the  ‘‘2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program’’).  As  a  result,  under  the  2010
Securities  Repurchase  Program,  the  Company  was  able  to  repurchase  up  to  $1.8  billion  of  its  convertible
notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that were issued prior to the completion of
the program. The 2010 Securities Repurchase  Program  terminated on November 7,  2011.

On November 3, 2011, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a new securities
repurchase  program  (the  ‘‘2011  Securities  Repurchase  Program’’).  Under  the  2011  Securities  Repurchase
Program, which commenced on November 8, 2011, the Company could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion
of  its  convertible  notes,  senior  notes,  common  shares  and/or  other  future  debt  or  shares.  The  2011
Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 7, 2012.

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 may 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  will
terminate on November 14, 2013 or at such time as the Company completes its purchases. The amount of
securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the 2012 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.

The  board  of  directors  also  approved  a  sub-limit  under  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program  for  the
repurchase of an amount of common shares equal to the greater of 10% of the Company’s public float or
5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, in each case calculated as of the date of the
commencement of the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program. The Company is permitted to make purchases
of  up  to  15,172,149  common  shares  on  the  open  market  through  the  facilities  of  the  NYSE,  representing
approximately  5%  of  the  Company’s  issued  and  outstanding  common  shares  on  the  date  of  the
commencement  of  the  2012  Securities  Repurchase  Program.  Subject  to  completion  of  appropriate  filings
with  and  approval  by  the  TSX,  the  Company  may  also  make  purchases  of  its  common  shares  over  the
facilities of the TSX. Purchases of common shares will be made at prevailing market prices of such shares
on the NYSE or the TSX, as the case may be, at the time of the acquisition and shall be made in accordance
with the respective rules and guidelines of the NYSE and the TSX. All common shares purchased under the
2012 Securities Repurchase Program will  be  cancelled.

Repurchase of 5.375% Convertible Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2012, under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company
repurchased  $1.1  million  principal  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  for  a  purchase  price  of
$4.0  million.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  purchased  was  $1.0  million  (net  of
related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the estimated fair value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes
exclusive of the conversion feature was $1.1 million. The difference of $0.1 million between the net carrying
amount  and  the  estimated  fair  value  was  recognized  as  a  loss  on  extinguishment  of  debt  (as  described  in

note 19). The difference of $2.9 million between the estimated fair value of $1.1 million and the purchase
price of $4.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $0.2 million
and $2.7 million, respectively. The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt
discount amounted to $0.1 million, and is included as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of
cash flows. The remaining portion of the payment of $3.9 million is presented in the consolidated statement
of cash flows as an outflow from financing  activities.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  under  the  2010  Securities  Repurchase  Program  and  the  2011
Securities  Repurchase  Program,  the  Company  repurchased  $203.8  million  and  $1.2  million  aggregate
principal  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes,  respectively,  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of
$619.4  million  and  $3.9  million,  respectively.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes
purchased was $177.6 million (net of $5.6 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the
estimated fair value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes exclusive of the conversion feature was $209.2 million.
The  difference  of  $31.6  million  between  the  net  carrying  amount  and  the  estimated  fair  value  was
recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19). The difference of $414.1 million
between  the  estimated  fair  value  of  $209.2  million  and  the  purchase  price  of  $623.3  million  resulted  in
charges  to  additional  paid-in  capital  and  accumulated  deficit  of  $33.2  million  and  $380.9  million,
respectively.  The  portion  of  the  purchase  price  attributable  to  accreted  interest  on  the  debt  discount
amounted  to  $9.8  million,  and  is  included  as  an  operating  activity  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  cash
flows. The remaining portion of the payment of $613.5 million is presented in the consolidated statements

purchase  price  of  $259.2  million.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  purchased  was
$106.9 million (net of $3.9 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the estimated fair
value  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  exclusive  of  the  conversion  feature  was  $127.5  million.  The
difference of $20.7 million between the net carrying amount and the estimated fair value was recognized as
a  loss  on  extinguishment  of  debt  (as  described  in  note  19).  The  difference  of  $131.7  million  between  the
estimated fair value of $127.5 million and the purchase price of $259.2 million was charged to shareholders’
equity, as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and a charge to accumulated deficit of $20.4 million and
$111.3 million, respectively. The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt
discount amounted to $4.9 million, and is included as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of
cash  flows.  The  remaining  portion  of  the  payment  of  $254.3  million  is  presented  in  the  consolidated
statements of cash flows as an outflow  from financing activities.

(1) On March 9, 2011, the Company’s compensation committee of the board of directors approved an equitable adjustment to all
stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special
dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company’s stock
option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and
conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million, of
which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.2 million),
selling, general and administrative expenses ($8.8 million) and research and development expenses ($0.2 million). The remaining
$6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite  service period of the unvested options.

(2)

Includes the excess of the fair value of Biovail stock options and time-based RSUs over the fair value of the vested and partially
vested Valeant stock options and time-based RSUs of $20.9 million (as described in note 3), which was recognized immediately
as  post-Merger  compensation  expense  and  allocated  as  follows:  cost  of  goods  sold  ($0.4  million),  research  and  development
expenses ($0.4 million), and selling, general and  administrative expenses ($20.1 million).

(3) During  the  third  quarter  of  2012,  the  Company  recorded  an  incremental  charge  of  $4.8  million  to  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  as  some  of  the  Company’s  performance-based  RSU  grants  triggered  a  partial  payout  as  a  result  of
achieving certain share price appreciation conditions.

The Company recognized $12.5 million and $26.5 million of tax benefits from stock options exercised in the
year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits for
the share-based compensation expense for  the year ended December 31, 2010.

Treatment of Biovail Stock Options and RSUs Following the Merger

In accordance with the Merger agreement, each unvested stock option and time-based RSU award held by
Biovail  employees  with  employment  agreements  accelerated  and  became  100%  vested  upon  involuntary
termination  following  the  Merger.  As  of  the  Merger  Date,  the  Company  calculated  incremental
compensation  expense  of  $9.6  million  to  reflect  an  increase  in  the  fair  value  of  the  stock  options  and
time-based  RSUs  held  by  Biovail  employees  with  employment  agreements  due  to  the  acceleration  of  the
vesting  condition.  This  amount  was  recognized  over  the  requisite  service  period  of  the  terminated
employees, which ended prior to December 31,  2010.

Unvested stock option awards held by Biovail employees without employment agreements are forfeited if
the  employee  is  involuntarily  terminated  following  the  Merger.  As  of  the  Merger  Date,  the  Company
reversed $0.5 million of previously recognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options held
by terminated employees without employment agreements. Unvested time-based RSU awards held by such

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

17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

Biovail employees vest on a pro-rata basis if the employee is involuntarily terminated following the Merger.
Accordingly, no additional compensation expense related to the pro-rata vesting of time-based RSUs was
required to be recognized by  the Company post-Merger.

Prior  to  the  completion  of  the  Merger,  the  board  of  directors  of  Biovail  resolved  that  each  performance-
based RSU award held by Biovail executive officers and selected employees would immediately accelerate
and become 100% vested on the Merger Date. The number of such performance-based RSUs to be settled
would  be  determined  based  on  Biovail’s  performance  through  the  Merger  Date.  Based  on  such
performance, each performance-based RSU vested upon the closing of the Merger at 200% of target. As of
the Merger Date, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $20.3 million to reflect an
increase in the fair value of the performance-based RSUs due to the acceleration of the vesting condition.
The  common  shares  of  the  Company  underlying  the  performance-based  RSUs  were  delivered,  net  of
income tax withholdings, to the applicable employees  within 60 days of the Merger Date.

Treatment of Valeant Continuing Stock  Options and  RSUs Following the Merger

As  of  the  Merger  Date,  the  Company  recorded  compensation  expense  of  $20.1  million  to  reflect  the
acceleration  of  the  vesting  term  related  to  stock  options  and  RSUs  held  by  former  executive  officers
of Valeant.

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding Valeant stock option and RSU that did not provide for
vesting was converted into an option or RSU to acquire or receive common shares of the Company, after
taking  account  of  the  pre-Merger  special  dividend  and  the  exchange  ratio  for  the  Merger,  on  the  same
terms  and  conditions  as  were  applicable  to  the  stock  option  or  RSU  prior  to  the  Merger.  Valeant  stock
option  grants  generally  vested  ratably  over  a  four-year  period  from  the  date  of  grant  and  had  a  term  not
exceeding  10  years.  Valeant  RSU  grants  vested  based  on  the  satisfaction  of  service  conditions  or  on  both
service  conditions  and  either  the  achievement  of  certain  stock  price  appreciation  conditions  or  the
achievement of certain strategic initiatives.

In  total,  12,464,417  Biovail  stock  options  were  issued  to  replace  Valeant  stock  options,  and  respectively
2,217,003 and 1,211,833 time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs of Biovail were issued to replace
equivalent awards of Valeant. As described in note 3, the fair values of the vested portions of the Valeant
stock options and Valeant RSUs were recognized as components of the purchase price or immediately as
compensation expense as of the Merger Date. The following table summarizes, as of the Merger Date, the
compensation  cost  and  weighted-average  service  periods  related  to  the  unvested  portions  of  the  Valeant
stock options and RSUs:

fifth  anniversary  of  the  grant  date.  The  exercise  price  of  any  stock  option  granted  under  its  2007  Equity
Compensation  Plan  is  not  to  be  less  than  the  volume-weighted  average  trading  price  of  the  Company’s
common  shares  for  the  five  trading  days  immediately  preceding  the  date  of  grant  (or,  for  participants
subject  to  U.S.  taxation,  on  the  single  trading  day  immediately  preceding  the  date  of  grant,  whichever  is
greater). All stock options granted by the Company under the 2011 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of
the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2011 Plan will not be less than the
closing  price  per  common  share  on  the  national  securities  exchange  on  which  the  common  shares  are
principally  traded  (currently,  the  NYSE)  for  the  last  preceding  date  on  which  there  was  a  sale  of  such
common shares on such exchange. Prior to the Merger, stock option grants typically vested ratably on the
first, second and third anniversaries of the stock option grant. Following the Merger, stock options granted
will vest 25% on each of the first, second,  third and fourth anniversaries from the date of grant.

The fair values of all stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were
estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-
average assumptions:

Company’s  common  stock.  Prior  to  2012,  expected  volatility  was  determined  based  on  historical  volatility  of  the  Company’s
common shares over the expected life of the stock option.

(3) Determined  based  on  the  rate  at  the  time  of  grant  for  zero-coupon  U.S.  or  Canadian  government  bonds  with  maturity  dates

equal to the expected life of the stock option.

(4) Determined based on the stock option’s  exercise price  and  expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.

The  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  used  by  the  Company  to  calculate  stock  option  values  was
developed  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  freely  tradeable,  fully  transferable  stock  options  without  vesting
restrictions,  which  significantly  differ  from  the  Company’s  stock  option  awards.  This  model  also  requires
highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which
greatly affect the calculated values.

RSUs

With the exception of Biovail RSUs issued to replace Valeant RSUs in connection with the Merger, RSUs
vest on the third anniversary date from the date of grant, unless provided otherwise in the applicable unit
agreement,  subject  to  the  attainment  of  any  applicable  performance  goals  specified  by  the  board  of
directors.  If  the  vesting  of  the  RSUs  is  conditional  upon  the  attainment  of  performance  goals,  any  RSUs
that  do  not  vest  as  a  result  of  a  determination  that  a  holder  of  RSUs  has  failed  to  attain  the  prescribed

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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

17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

performance goals will be forfeited immediately upon such determination. RSUs are credited with dividend
equivalents,  in  the  form  of  additional  RSUs,  when  dividends  are  paid  on  the  Company’s  common  shares.
Such additional RSUs will have the same vesting dates and will vest under the same terms as the RSUs in
respect of which such additional RSUs  are credited.

To  the  extent  provided  for  in  an  RSU  agreement,  the  Company  may,  in  lieu  of  all  or  a  portion  of  the
common shares which would otherwise be provided to a holder, elect to pay a cash amount equivalent to
the market price of the Company’s common shares on the vesting date for each vested RSU. The amount of
cash payment will be determined based on the average market price of the Company’s common shares on
the  vesting  date.  The  Company’s  current  intent  is  to  settle  vested  RSUs  through  the  issuance  of
common shares.

Time-Based RSUs

Each  vested  RSU  without  performance  goals  (‘‘time-based  RSU’’)  represents  the  right  of  a  holder  to
receive one of the Company’s common shares. The fair value of each RSU granted is estimated based on
the trading price of the Company’s common shares on  the date of grant.

As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  total  remaining  unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  non-vested
time-based RSUs amounted to $15.6 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining
requisite service period of approximately 1.7 years. The total fair value of time-based RSUs vested in 2012
was $18.0 million (2011 — $16.2 million; 2010 — $11.6 million).

Performance-Based RSUs

Each vested RSU with performance goals (‘‘performance-based RSU’’) represents the right of a holder to
receive  a  number  of  the  Company’s  common  shares  up  to  a  specified  maximum.  For  performance-based
RSUs  issued  prior  to  the  Merger,  performance  was  measured  based  on  shareholder  return  relative  to  an
industry comparator group. For performance-based RSUs issued subsequent to the Merger, performance is
determined  based  on  the  achievement  of  certain  share  price  appreciation  conditions.  If  the  Company’s
performance is below a specified performance level,  no common  shares will be paid.

The fair value of each performance-based RSU granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011
and  2010  was  estimated  using  a  Monte  Carlo  simulation  model,  which  utilizes  multiple  input  variables  to

17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

DSUs

Prior to May 2011, non-management directors received non-cash compensation in the form of DSUs, which
entitled  non-management  directors  to  receive  a  lump-sum  cash  payment  in  respect  of  their  DSUs  either
following the date upon which they cease to be a director of the Company or, with respect to DSUs granted
after the Merger Date as part of the annual retainer, one year after such date. The amount of compensation
deferred was converted into DSUs based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s
common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (for directors subject to
U.S.  taxation,  the  calculation  may  be  based  on  the  greater  of  the  five-day  or  one-day  volume-weighted
trading price). The Company recognizes compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent
that  the  trading  price  of  its  common  shares  increases,  and  reduces  compensation  expense  throughout  the
deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares decreases.

Following the Merger, the DSUs previously granted to non-management directors who did not remain on
the board of directors of the Company will be redeemed, entitling each departing director to a payment of
the cash value of his DSUs. Prior to December 31, 2010, cash payments of $2.3 million were made to settle
84,888 of such DSUs, with another 218,123 of such DSUs valued at $6.2 million remaining to be settled as
of December 31, 2010.

Effective  May  16,  2011  (the  ‘‘Modification  Date’’),  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Company  modified  the
existing DSUs held by current directors from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which
changed these DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. Accordingly, as of the Modification Date,
the  Company  reclassified  the  $9.3  million  aggregate  fair  value  of  the  182,053  DSUs  held  by  current
directors  from  accrued  liabilities  to  additional  paid-in  capital.  In  the  period  from  January  1,  2011  to  the
Modification Date, the Company recorded $3.6 million of compensation expense related to the change in
the fair value of the DSUs held by current directors. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional
compensation expense will be recognized after the Modification Date. The DSUs held by former directors
of Biovail were not affected by the modification and will continue to be cash settled. During the year ended
December  31,  2011,  the  Company  recognized  $0.8  million  of  compensation  expense  in  restructuring  and
integration costs related to the change in the fair value of DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail. As
of  December  31,  2012,  there  were  17,219  DSUs  still  held  by  former  directors  of  Biovail.  The  Company
recorded compensation expense related to DSUs of $8.5 million in 2010. The remaining 17,219 DSUs were
redeemed for cash in February 2013.

17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

Effective  May  16,  2011,  in  lieu  of  grants  of  DSUs,  unless  the  Company  determines  otherwise,
non-management directors will receive their annual equity compensation retainer in the form of stock units,
which will vest immediately upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company on the first
anniversary  of  the  date  upon  which  the  director  ceases  to  be  a  director  of  the  Company.  In  addition,  a
non-management director may elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainers in additional units,
which  will  be  vested  upon  grant  and  will  be  settled  in  common  shares  of  the  Company  when  the  director
ceases  to  be  a  director  of  the  Company  (unless  a  different  payment  is  elected  in  accordance  with  the
procedures established by the Company).

Effective May 30, 2012, the Company changed the vesting and settlement features of stock units granted to
non-management  directors,  such  that,  for  all  new  stock  units  granted  to  non-management  directors  after
such date, such stock units will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and will be settled in
common  shares  of  the  Company  upon  vesting.  In  addition,  for  stock  units  awarded  to  non-management
directors  prior  to  May  30,  2012  in  connection  with  such  directors’  annual  equity  compensation,  the
settlement date was changed and such stock units will now be settled in common shares of the Company on
May 30, 2013.

In  March  2011,  in  connection  with  an  offer  to  acquire  Cephalon,  Inc.  (‘‘Cephalon’’),  the  Company  had
invested $60.0 million to acquire 1,034,908 shares of common stock of Cephalon, which represented 1.366%
of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cephalon as of March 14, 2011. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon
announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, the
Company  disposed  of  its  entire  equity  investment  in  Cephalon  for  net  proceeds  of  $81.3  million,  which
resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million  recognized in earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

(1)

In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  5.375%  Convertible  Notes  in  June  2009  (as  described  in  note  14),  the  Company
recognized a deferred tax liability of $14.6 million for the original basis difference between the principal amount of the 5.375%
Convertible  Notes  and  the  value  allocated  to  the  liability  component,  which  resulted  in  a  corresponding  reduction  to  the
valuation  allowance  recorded  against  deferred  tax  assets.  The  recognition  of  the  deferred  tax  liability  and  the  corresponding
reduction  in  the  valuation  allowance  were  recorded  as  offsetting  adjustments  to  additional  paid-in  capital.  In  the  years  ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the deferred tax benefit recognized in earnings as the debt discount was amortized or extinguished
was offset by the deferred tax expense related to the corresponding realization of the deferred tax assets.

In 2012 and 2011, the repurchase of $18.7 million and $205.0 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar-
denominated  5.375%  Convertible  Notes,  respectively,  resulted  in  a  foreign  exchange  gain  for  Canadian
income tax purposes of approximately $1.1 million and $24.0  million, respectively.

The  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  on  the  Company  generating  sufficient  domestic  and
foreign  taxable  income  in  the  years  that  the  temporary  differences  become  deductible.  A  valuation
allowance  has  been  provided  for  the  portion  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  that  the  Company  determined  is
more  likely  than  not  to  remain  unrealized  based  on  estimated  future  taxable  income  and  tax  planning
strategies.  In  2012,  the  valuation  allowance  decreased  by  $4.2  million.  The  net  decrease  in  valuation
allowance  resulted  from  an  increase  in  deferred  tax  liabilities  arising  from  acquisitions  and  unrealized
foreign  exchange  gains  on  intercompany  loans,  offset  by  an  increase  in  the  valuation  allowance  for
Canadian tax loss carryforwards for the year ended December 31, 2012. The net decrease of $57.7 million in
valuation allowance for 2011 resulted from the Company’s decision to write off U.S. federal and state net
operating  losses  which  were  limited  as  a  result  of  the  Merger  ($64.1  million  decrease  in  the  valuation
allowance),  offset  by  an  increase  in  the  valuation  allowance  for  Canadian  tax  loss  carryforwards  of

21. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

$6.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011.  Given  the  Company’s  history  of  pre-tax  losses  and
expected  future  losses  in  Canada,  the  Company  determined  there  was  insufficient  objective  evidence  to
release  the  remaining  valuation  allowance  against  Canadian  tax 
loss  carryforwards,  ITCs  and
pooled SR&ED expenditures.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $397.5 million (2011 —
$318.1 million) available for federal and provincial tax purposes in Canada. As of December 31, 2012, the
Company  had  approximately  $44.9  million  (2011 — $43.6  million)  of  unclaimed  Canadian  ITCs,  which
expire  from  2020  to  2030.  These  losses  and  ITCs  can  be  used  to  offset  future  years’  taxable  income  and
federal  tax,  respectively.  In  addition,  as  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  pooled  SR&ED
expenditures amounting to approximately $255.6 million (2011 — $248.3 million) available to offset against
future years’ taxable income from its Canadian operations, which may be carried forward indefinitely. The
valuation allowance against the Canadian deferred tax assets is $122.0 million (2011 — $124.6 million).

As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  has  accumulated  tax  losses  of  approximately  $430.6  million
(2011 — $512.1 million) for federal purposes in the U.S., including pre-acquisition losses arising from the
Merger of $332.2 million, which expire from 2021 to 2028 of which $185.9 million of the NOLs are subject
to  annual  loss  limitation  restrictions.  As  of  December  31,  2012  the  Company  had  approximately
$22.8 million (2011 — $19.2 million) of U.S. research and development credits, which expire from 2021 to
2031. In 2011 management determined the losses subject to limitation restrictions should be written off and
the  corresponding  valuation  allowance  reversed  as  of  December  31,  2011.  The  Company’s  accumulated
losses  are  subject  to  annual  limitations  as  a  result  of  previous  ownership  changes  that  have  occurred.
Included in the $430.6 million of tax losses is approximately $13.5 million of losses related to the exercise of
non-qualified stock options and restricted  stock awards.

The Company accrues for U.S. tax on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that are owned by
the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. Prior to the Merger, the Company asserted that the unremitted earnings
of  its  Barbados  subsidiaries  would  be  permanently  reinvested.  The  Company  discontinued  making  this
assertion  as  of  December  31,  2010,  but  such  change  did  not  affect  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  liabilities
since the Barbados earnings can be repatriated to Canada without incurring additional tax. The Company
continues to assert that the unremitted earnings of its U.S. subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested and
not repatriated to Canada. As of December 31, 2012 the Company estimates there would be no Canadian
tax liability attributable to the permanently  reinvested  U.S. earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties)
was $128.0 million (2011 — $102.3 million), of which $88.8 million (2011 — $67.3 million) would affect the
effective tax rate. In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a $27.8 million (2011 —
$2.7 million) increase and a $3.4 million (2011 — $11.3 million) net decrease in the amount of unrecognized
tax benefits related to tax positions taken in the current and prior years, respectively, which have resulted in
a corresponding decrease to current tax expense.

The  Company  recognizes  interest  accrued  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  and  penalties  in  the
provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2012, approximately $24.3 million (2011 — $23.0 million)
was accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company
recognized approximately $1.3 million (2011 — $2.5  million) in interest and penalties.

The  Company  and  one  or  more  of  its  subsidiaries  file  federal  income  tax  returns  in  Canada,  the  U.S.,
Barbados,  and  other  foreign  jurisdictions,  as  well  as  various  provinces  and  states  in  Canada  and  the
U.S.  The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  have  open  tax  years  primarily  from  2000  to  2012  with  significant
taxing jurisdictions including Barbados, Canada, and the U.S. These open years contain certain matters that
could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, and tax treaties, as they

relate  to  the  amount,  timing,  or  inclusion  of  revenues  and  expenses,  or  the  sustainability  of  income  tax
positions  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries.  Certain  of  these  tax  years  are  expected  to  remain  open
indefinitely.

In 2012, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International and its subsidiaries closed the IRS audits through the 2009
tax  year.  Additionally,  Valeant  closed  the  examination  by  the  Australian  Tax  Office  for  the  2010  tax  year.
Valeant remains under exam for various state tax audits in the U.S. for years 2002 to 2010. The Company is
currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for years 2005 to 2006 and remains open to
examination  for  years  2004  and  later.  In  February  2013,  the  Company  has  received  a  proposed  audit
adjustment for the years 2005 through 2007. The Company disagrees with the adjustments and is evaluating
its options and its response to Canada Revenue Agency. The total proposed adjustment will result in a loss
of tax attributes which are subject to a full valuation allowance and will not result in material change to the
provision  for income taxes.

The  following  table  presents  a  reconciliation  of  the  beginning  and  ending  amounts  of  unrecognized
tax benefits:

The Company estimates approximately $14.4 million of the above unrecognized tax benefits will be realized
during the next 12 months.

Certain unrecognized tax benefits have been  recorded as a reduction of  deferred tax  assets.

The  Company  effected  an  internal  reorganization  in  July  2012  to  streamline  certain  aspects  of  its
operations. As part of this internal reorganization, the Company migrated certain of its intellectual property
from Barbados to Bermuda and moved certain of its operational and managerial functions from Barbados
to certain European jurisdictions (including Ireland). This is consistent with the evolution of the Company’s
business  and  the  Company  expects  that  this  internal  reorganization  will  enable  the  Company  to  better
leverage  its  existing  and  future  resources  on  a  worldwide  basis  and  support  the  Company’s  international
expansion.

In  2012  and  2010,  all  stock  options,  RSUs  and  Convertible  Notes  were  excluded  from  the  calculation  of
diluted  loss  per  share,  as  the  effect  of  including  them  would  have  been  anti-dilutive,  as  it  would  have
reduced the loss per share. The potential dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and Convertible Notes on
the weighted-average number of common shares  outstanding was as follows:

average common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because  the  exercise  prices  of  the  options  were  greater  than  the  average  market  price  of  the  Company’s

24. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company becomes involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, which
include  product  liability,  intellectual  property,  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.

24. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

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.,  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 Biovail 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.  Failure  to  comply  with  the  obligations  under  the  CIA
could result in financial penalties.

Securities

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,  Inc.  (the  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Valeant  formed  in  connection  with  the  Medicis
acquisition).  The  Delaware  actions  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
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,  Inc.  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. In connection
with the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs intend to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an
amount to be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The settlement is subject to court approval
and further definitive documentation. 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

Antitrust

On  April  4,  2008,  a  direct  purchaser  plaintiff  filed  a  class  action  antitrust  complaint  in  the  U.S.  District
Court for the District of Massachusetts against Biovail, GlaxoSmithKline plc, and SmithKline Beecham Inc.
(the latter two of which are referred to here as ‘‘GSK’’) seeking damages and alleging that Biovail and GSK
took actions to improperly delay FDA approval for generic forms of Wellbutrin XL(cid:4). In late May and early
June 2008, additional direct and indirect purchaser class actions were also filed against Biovail and GSK in
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, all making similar allegations. After motion practice, the complaints
were consolidated, resulting in a lead direct purchaser and a lead indirect purchaser action, and the Court
ultimately denied defendants’ motion  to  dismiss the consolidated complaints.

The  Court  granted  direct  purchasers’  motion  for  class  certification,  and  certified  a  class  consisting  of  all
persons or entities in the United States and its territories who purchased Wellbutrin XL(cid:4) directly from any
of the defendants at any time during the period of November 14, 2005 through August 31, 2009. Excluded
from  the  class  are  defendants  and  their  officers,  directors,  management,  employees,  parents,  subsidiaries,
and affiliates, and federal government entities. Further excluded from the class are persons or entities who
have  not  purchased  generic  versions  of  Wellbutrin  XL(cid:4)  during  the  class  period  after  the  introduction  of
generic versions of Wellbutrin XL (cid:4). The Court granted in part and denied in part the indirect purchaser
plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.

After  extensive  discovery,  briefing  and  oral  argument,  the  Court  granted  the  defendants’  motion  for
summary  judgment  on  all  but  one  of  the  plaintiffs’  claims,  and  deferred  ruling  on  the  remaining  claim.
Following  the  summary  judgment  decision,  the  Company  entered  into  binding  settlement  arrangements
with both plaintiffs’ classes to resolve all existing claims against the Company. The total settlement amount
payable is $49.25 million. In addition, the Company will pay up to $500,000 toward settlement notice costs.
These charges were recognized in the second quarter of 2012, within Legal settlements in the consolidated
statements  of  (loss)  income.  The  settlements  require  Court  approval.  The  direct  purchaser  class  filed  its
motion  for  preliminary  approval  of  its  settlement  on  July  23,  2012.  The  hearing  on  final  approval  of  that
settlement took place on November 7, 2012, with the court granting final approval to the settlement. The
indirect purchaser class is expected to file its motion for preliminary approval in the first quarter of 2013,
with a hearing on final approval of that settlement likely to be held in the third quarter of 2013.

Intellectual Property
Apotex GLUMETZA(cid:4) Litigation

On  January  18,  2010,  a  Canadian  Federal  Court  judge  presiding  over  Biovail  and  Depomed,  Inc.
(‘‘Depomed’’) v. Apotex Inc. (‘‘Apotex’’) et al. issued a decision in a proceeding pursuant to the Patented
Medicines  (Notice  of  Compliance)  (‘‘PMNOC’’)  Regulations  in  Canada  to  determine  whether  Apotex’s
allegations that a Depomed patent was invalid and/or not infringed was justified. This proceeding related to
a Canadian application filed by Apotex to market a generic version of the 500 mg formulation of Glumetza(cid:4)
(extended  release  metformin  hydrochloride  tablets)  licensed  in  Canada  by  Depomed  to  Biovail
Laboratories  International  SRL,  now  Valeant  International  Bermuda  (‘‘VIB’’).  Pursuant  to  the  decision
issued by the Court, Health Canada can authorize Apotex to market in Canada its generic version of the
500  mg  formulation  of  Glumetza(cid:4).  The  decision,  which  was  amended  on  January  20,  2010,  found  under
Canadian  law  that  Apotex’s  allegation  was  justified  that  the  Depomed  Canadian  patent  at  issue  in  the
matter (No. 2,290,624) (the ‘‘624 Patent’’) is obvious. The judge found that the evidence presented by the

parties was ‘‘evenly balanced’’ as to obviousness. The judge found in favor of Biovail and Depomed as to all
other issues related to the ‘624 Patent under  Canadian law. Apotex was  authorized by Health  Canada  on
February 4, 2010 to market its generic version of 500 mg Glumetza(cid:4) in Canada. This decision, however, did
not find the patent invalid and did not preclude the filing of a subsequent patent infringement suit against
Apotex.  Biovail  Corporation  and  Depomed  commenced  action  for  patent  infringement  against  Apotex  in
Canadian Federal Court on February 8, 2010. Pleadings were closed in this matter. On December 7, 2012, a
Notice  of  Discontinuance  was  filed  with  the  Court,  thereby  discontinuing  the  patent  infringement  action
against  Apotex.

Pharmascience WELLBUTRIN(cid:4)  XL Litigation

On  or  about  November  8,  2012,  VIB  and  Valeant  Canada  received  a  Notice  of  Allegation  from
Pharmascience Inc. (‘‘Pharmascience’’) with respect to bupropion hydrochloride 150 mg and 300 mg tablets,
marketed in Canada by Valeant Canada as WELLBUTRIN(cid:4) XL. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent
Nos. 2,142,320 and 2,168,364. Pharmascience alleged that its generic form of WELLBUTRIN(cid:4) XL does not
infringe the patents. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application
for  an  order  prohibiting  the  Minister  from  issuing  a  Notice  of  Compliance  to  Cobalt  was  issued  in  the
Federal Court on December 27, 2012. In January 2013, Pharmascience withdrew its Notice of Allegation.
As a result, this proceeding will be discontinued.

Watson APLENZIN(cid:4)  Litigation

On or about January 5, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated January 4, 2010
from  Watson  Laboratories,  Inc. — Florida  (‘‘Watson’’),  related  to  Watson’s  ANDA  filing  for  bupropion
hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which correspond to the Company’s Aplenzin(cid:4)
Extended-release  Tablets  174  mg  and  348  mg  products.  Watson  asserted  that  U.S.  Patent  Nos.  7,241,805,
7,569,610, 7,572,935 and 7,585,897 which are listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for Aplenzin(cid:4) are invalid or
not infringed. VIB subsequently received from Watson a second Notice of Paragraph IV Certification for
U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,802 and 7,649,019, which were listed in the FDA’s Orange Book after Watson’s initial
certification. Watson alleged these patents are invalid or not infringed. VIB filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-
Waxman Act against Watson on February 18, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware
and on February 19, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, thereby triggering
a 30-month stay of the approval of Watson’s ANDA. The Delaware action dismissed without prejudice and
the  litigation  proceeded  in  the  Florida  Court.  VIB  received  a  third  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Certification
from  Watson  dated  March  5,  2010,  seeking  to  market  its  products  prior  to  the  expiration  of  U.S.  Patent
Nos. 7,662,407 and 7,671,094. VIB received a fourth Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson on
April  9,  2010.  VIB  filed  a  second  Complaint  against  Watson  in  Florida  Court  on  the  third  and  fourth
Notices on April 16, 2010. The two actions were consolidated into the first-filed case before the same judge.
In the course of discovery, the issues were narrowed and only five of the patents remained in the litigation.
Mandatory mediation was completed unsuccessfully on December 17, 2010. The trial in this matter was held
in June 2011 and closing arguments were heard in September 2011. A judgment in this matter was issued on
November 8, 2011. The Court found that Watson had failed to prove that VIB’s patents at suit were invalid
and  granted  judgment  in  favor  of  VIB.  On  February  23,  2012,  the  Court  granted  VIB’s  request  for
declaratory injunctive relief under 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(4)(A). On July 9, 2012, the Court denied VIB’s request
for  further  injunctive  relief  under  35  U.S.C.  271(e)(4)(B)  and/or  35  U.S.C.  283.  Watson  is  appealing  the
judgment  and  VIB  is  cross-appealing  the  denial  of  further  injunctive  relief  under  35  U.S.C.  271(e)(4)(B)
and/or 35 U.S.C. 283. The appeal is proceeding in  the ordinary course.

Spear CARAC(cid:4) Litigation

On  or  after  December  12,  2011,  a  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Certification,  dated  December  7,  2011,  was
received  from  Spear  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (‘‘Spear’’),  related  to  Spear’s  ANDA  filing  for  fluorouracil
topical  cream,  0.5%,  which  corresponds  to  the  Company’s  Carac(cid:4)  product.  Spear  has  asserted  that
U.S. Patent No. 6,670,335 (the ‘‘335 Patent’’), which is listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for Carac(cid:4), is not
infringed  by  the  filing  of  Spear’s  ANDA  or  the  manufacture,  use,  offer  for  sale,  sale  or  importation  of
Spear’s product in the U.S. VIB (as exclusive licensee of the ‘335 Patent) and AP Pharma, Inc. (as owner of
the  ‘335  Patent)  filed  suit  pursuant  to  the  Hatch-Waxman  Act  against  Spear  on  January  25,  2012,  in  the
U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, thereby triggering a stay of the approval of Spear’s
ANDA  of  up  to  30  months  during  the  pendency  of  the  litigation.  After  reaching  a  settlement  agreement
resolving all issues in the litigation, the parties filed a stipulation for dismissal of the lawsuit on October 5,
2012. An order of dismissal was entered on  October 30, 2012.

Cobalt TIAZAC(cid:4) XC Litigation

On  or  about  August  17,  2012,  VIB  and  Valeant  Canada  LP/Valeant  Canada  S.E.C.  (‘‘Valeant  Canada’’)
received a Notice of Allegation from Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Company (‘‘Cobalt’’) with respect to diltiazem
hydrochloride  180  mg,  240  mg,  300  mg  and  360  mg  tablets,  marketed  in  Canada  by  Valeant  Canada  as
TIAZAC(cid:4) XC. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent Nos. 2,242,224, and 2,307,547. Cobalt alleged that
its  generic  form  of  TIAZAC(cid:4)  XC  does  not  infringe  the  patents  and,  alternatively,  that  the  patents  are
invalid. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application for an order
prohibiting the Minister from issuing a Notice of Compliance to Cobalt was issued in the Federal Court on
September 28, 2012. A motion to declare Cobalt’s Notice of Allegation to be null and void due to a conflict
of interest on the part of Cobalt’s legal counsel was heard by a judge of the Federal Court on December 17,
2012. The parties are awaiting the Court’s decision, which could require Cobalt to re-commence with a new
Notice of Allegation. Otherwise, the application is proceeding in the ordinary course.

General Civil Actions

Complaints  have  been  filed  by  the  City  of  New  York,  the  State  of  Alabama,  the  State  of  Mississippi,  the
State  of  Louisiana  and  a  number  of  counties  within  the  State  of  New  York,  claiming  that  Biovail,  and
numerous  other  pharmaceutical  companies,  made  fraudulent  misstatements  concerning  the  ‘‘average
wholesale price’’ (‘‘AWP’’) of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the plaintiffs for
pharmaceutical products sold  by the  companies.

The  City  of  New  York  and  plaintiffs  for  all  the  counties  in  New  York  (other  than  Erie,  Oswego  and
Schenectady)  voluntarily  dismissed  Biovail  and  certain  others  of  the  named  defendants  on  a  without
prejudice  basis.  Similarly,  the  State  of  Mississippi  voluntarily  dismissed  its  claim  against  Biovail  and  a
number of defendants on a without prejudice  basis.

In the case brought by the State of Alabama, the Company answered the State’s Amended Complaint. On
October  16,  2009,  the  Supreme  Court  of  Alabama  issued  an  opinion  reversing  judgments  in  favor  of  the
State in the first three cases that were tried against co-defendant companies. The Alabama Supreme Court
also rendered judgment in favor of those defendants, finding that the State’s fraud-based theories failed as a
matter of law. The court ordered all parties to this proceeding to attend mediation in December 2011. The
matter has settled for an all-inclusive  payment in the amount of less  than $0.1  million.

A Third Amending Petition for Damages and Jury Demand was filed on November 10, 2010 in Louisiana
State  Court  by  the  State  of  Louisiana  claiming  that  a  former  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  and  numerous
other  pharmaceutical  companies,  knowingly  inflated  the  AWP  and  ‘‘wholesale  acquisition  cost’’  of  their

prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the State for pharmaceutical products sold by the
companies.  The  State  has  subsequently  filed  additional  amendments  to  its  Petition,  none  of  which
materially  affect  the  claims  against  the  Company.  The  matter  is  in  preliminary  stages  and  the  Company
intends to defend against this action.

On December 15, 2009, Biovail was served with a Seventh Amended Complaint under the False Claims Act
in an action captioned United States of America, ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Actavis Mid-Atlantic, LLC,
et  al.,  United  States  District  Court,  District  of  Massachusetts.  This  case  was  originally  filed  in  2002  and
maintained  under  seal  until  shortly  before  Biovail  was  served.  Twenty  other  companies  are  named  as
defendants.  In  the  Seventh  Amended  Complaint,  Conrad  alleges  that  various  formulations  of  Rondec,  a
product formerly owned by Biovail, were not properly approved by the FDA and therefore not a ‘‘Covered
Outpatient Drug’’ within the meaning of the Medicaid Rebate Statute. As such, Conrad alleges that Rondec
was  not  eligible  for  reimbursement  by  federal  healthcare  programs,  including  Medicaid.  Conrad  seeks
treble damages and civil penalties under the False Claims Act. Motions to dismiss have been brought by the
defendants.  Briefing  on  these  motions  concluded  on  March  30,  2012  and  the  hearing  took  place  on
November  8,  2012.  In  February  2013,  the  Court  allowed  the  defendants’  motions  and  dismissed
the complaint.

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.  The
proposed  claim  asserts  that  Afexa  and  the  Company  made  false  representations  respecting  Cold-FX(cid:4)  to
residents of British Columbia who purchased the product during the applicable period and that the class has
suffered  damages  as  a  result.  The  Company  filed  its  certification  materials  on  February  6,  2013  and  a
hearing  on  certification  is  scheduled  for  September  3,  2013.  The  Company  denies  the  allegations  being
made and is defending this matter.

Anacor Breach of Contract Proceeding

On  or  about  October  29,  2012,  the  Company  received  notice  from  Anacor  Pharmaceuticals  (‘‘Anacor’’)
seeking to commence arbitration of a breach of contract dispute under a master services agreement dated
March  26,  2004  between  Anacor  and  Dow  Pharmaceuticals  (‘‘Dow’’)  related  to  certain  development
services provided by Dow in connection with Anacor’s efforts to develop its onychomycosis nail-penetrating
anti-fungal product (IDP-108). Anacor has asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty,
intentional  interference  with  prospective  business  advantage  and  unfair  competition.  Anacor  is  seeking
injunctive relief and damages of at least $215.0 million. The hearing for the preliminary injunction has been
set for  May 6, 7 and 8, 2013. The Company  intends to vigorously contest these  claims.

Legacy Valeant Litigation

Valeant  is  the  subject  of  a  Formal  Order  of  Investigation  with  respect  to  events  and  circumstances
surrounding trading in its common stock, the public release of data from its first pivotal Phase III trial for
taribavirin  in  March  2006,  statements  made  in  connection  with  the  public  release  of  data  and  matters
regarding  its  stock  option  grants  since  January  1,  2000  and  its  restatement  of  certain  historical  financial
statements announced in March 2008. In September 2006, Valeant’s board of directors established a Special
Committee  to  review  its  historical  stock  option  practices  and  related  accounting,  and  informed  the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) of these efforts. Valeant has cooperated fully and will
continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the
investigation.

Citizen’s Petition

In  July  2012,  the  Company  filed  a  Citizen’s  Petition  with  the  FDA  regarding  its  recent  draft  guidance  on
acyclovir ointment, in which the FDA commented on the supporting evidence required for approval of an
ANDA for acyclovir ointment. In the Citizen’s Petition, the Company requested that the FDA refrain from
approving  an  ANDA  referencing  Zovirax(cid:4)  ointment  that  does  not  include  data  from  an  in  vivo  clinical
endpoint  study  showing  bioequivalence.  In  December  2012,  the  FDA  notified  the  Company  that  it  had

RESTYLANE(cid:4),  RESTYLANE-L(cid:4),  PERLANE(cid:4),  PERLANE-L(cid:4)  and  RESTYLANE  FINE  LINES(cid:5),
through certain license and supply agreements with Q-Med (the ‘‘Agreements’’). The Complaint alleges that
Q-Med  has  the  right  under  the  Agreements  to  withhold  consent  to  a  change  of  control  of  Medicis  that
would  result  in  a  transfer  to  the  Company  of  the  exclusive  rights  to  market  and  sell  the  dermal  filler
products under the Agreements, and that Medicis had breached or anticipatorily breached the Agreements.
The Complaint sought, among other things, (1) a declaration that Q-Med has the right to withhold consent
in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Agreements;  (2)  a  finding  that  Medicis  had  materially  breached  its
obligations  under  the  Agreements,  entitling  Q-Med  to  contractual  remedies,  including  termination  or
rescission  of  the  Agreements;  and  (3)  a  preliminary  injunction  prohibiting  Medicis  from  transferring  its
rights  under  the  Agreements  to  the  Company  during  the  pendency  of  the  arbitration  proceedings  that
Q-Med will bring. On December 5, 2012, Q-Med and the Company reached an agreement in principle to
resolve the lawsuit, subject to entering into definitive agreements. As a result of the agreement in principle,
on  December  5,  2012,  Q-Med  requested  an  adjournment  of  the  hearing  scheduled  for  that  day  on  its
application for injunctive relief. The Court approved the adjournment and entered an order dismissing the
lawsuit with prejudice. Q-Med and the Company subsequently entered into the definitive agreements with
respect to this matter.

Anacor Arbitration and Litigation

On November 28, 2012, Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (‘‘Anacor’’) filed a claim for arbitration, alleging that
Medicis  had  breached  the  research  and  development  agreement  between  the  parties  relating  to  the
discovery  and  development  of  boron-based  small  molecule  compounds  directed  against  a  target  for  the
potential treatment of acne (the ‘‘Agreement’’). Under the terms of the Agreement, Anacor is responsible
for  discovering  and  conducting  the  early  development  of  product  candidates  which  utilize  Anacor’s
proprietary  boron  chemistry  platform,  and  Medicis  will  have  an  option  to  obtain  an  exclusive  license  for
products covered by the Agreement. Anacor alleges in its claim that it is entitled to a milestone payment
from  Medicis  due  to  its  identification  and  development  of  a  suitable  compound  to  be  advanced  in  the
research collaboration. Medicis believes Anacor failed to meet the milestone requirements and, on May 18,
2012, provided notice to Anacor that Anacor has breached the Agreement. On December 11, 2012, Medicis
filed  a  suit  against  Anacor  in  the  Delaware  Chancery  Court  seeking  declaratory  and  equitable  relief,

including specific performance under the Agreement, as well as a motion for preliminary injunction of the
arbitration  proceedings.  Anacor  has  filed  a  motion  to  dismiss  this  matter.  A  hearing  is  expected  in
March 2013.

Stiefel VELTIN(cid:5) Litigation

On  July  28,  2010,  Medicis  filed  suit  against  Stiefel  Laboratories,  Inc.  (‘‘Stiefel’’),  a  subsidiary  of
GlaxoSmithKline  plc  (‘‘GSK’’),  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Texas-San  Antonio
Division seeking a declaratory judgment that the manufacture and sale of Stiefel’s acne product VELTIN(cid:5)
Gel will infringe one or more claims of its U.S. Patent No. RE41,134 (the ‘‘‘134 Patent’’) covering Medicis’
product ZIANA(cid:4) Gel. Medicis has rights to the ‘134 Patent pursuant to an exclusive license agreement with
the  owner  of  the  patent.  The  relief  requested  included  a  request  for  a  permanent  injunction  preventing
Stiefel from infringing the ‘134 Patent by engaging in the commercial manufacture, use, importation, offer
to sell, or sale of any therapeutic composition or method of use covered by the ‘134 Patent, including such
activities relating to VELTIN(cid:5) Gel, and from inducing or contributing to any such activities. On October 8,
2010, Medicis and the owner of the ‘134 Patent filed a motion for a Preliminary Injunction seeking to enjoin
sales of VELTIN(cid:5) Gel. Medicis also requested a temporary restraining order, which application was heard
and denied by the Court on October 15,  2010.

On May 15, 2012, Medicis filed an amended complaint converting the prior claim of declaratory relief into a
claim of patent infringement. On June 15, 2012, Stiefel responded to the amended complaint and alleged a
new declaratory relief counterclaim relating to U.S. Patent No. 6,387,383 (the ‘‘‘383 Patent’’), which patent
also  covers  the  ZIANA(cid:4)  Gel  product.  Stiefel  alleged  that  the  counterclaim  would  obviate  the  need  to
proceed in the New Jersey case described below. The  case has been  stayed.

On March 20, 2012, Medicis filed another suit against Stiefel, including naming Stiefel’s parent company,
GSK. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for patent infringement,
and more specifically that Stiefel and GSK’s manufacture and sale of VELTIN(cid:5) Gel infringes one or more
claims of the ‘383 Patent covering the ZIANA(cid:4) Gel product. Medicis has rights to the ‘383 Patent pursuant
to  an  exclusive  license  agreement  with  the  owner  of  the  patent.  In  this  action,  Medicis  sought  both
monetary damages and a permanent injunction preventing Stiefel and/or GSK from engaging in infringing
activities  relating  to  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  VELTIN(cid:5)  Gel.  On  June  18,  2012,  Stiefel  and  GSK
responded to the complaint and asserted declaratory relief counterclaims of non-infringement and patent
invalidity. Medicis subsequently determined to file a motion to dismiss the case in New Jersey and continue
to  pursue  the  case  filed  against  Stiefel  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Texas-San
Antonio Division described above. On October  26, 2012, the case in New  Jersey  was  dismissed.

Actavis ZIANA(cid:4) Litigation

On  March  30,  2011,  Medicis  received  a  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Patent  Certification  Notice  from  Actavis
Mid  Atlantic  LLC  (‘‘Actavis’’)  advising  that  Actavis  has  filed  an  ANDA  with  the  FDA  for  approval  to
market  a  generic  version  of  ZIANA(cid:4)  (clindamycin  phosphate  1.2%  and  tretinoin  0.025%)  Gel.  Actavis’
Paragraph IV Patent Certification alleges that Medicis’ ‘134 Patent and ‘383 Patent will not be infringed by
Actavis’  manufacture,  use  and/or  sale  of  the  product  for  which  the  ANDA  was  submitted,  and  that  the
‘134 Patent and the ‘383 Patent are otherwise invalid. On May 11, 2011, Medicis filed suit against Actavis in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Originally, the suit sought an adjudication that Actavis’
ANDA infringes one or more claims of the ‘134 Patent and the ‘383 Patent, and that if approved, Actavis’
product will infringe those patents. In February 2012, Medicis withdrew the ‘134 Patent from the litigation
and  all  claims  concerning  that  patent  were  dismissed  without  prejudice.  The  relief  requested  includes  a
request for a permanent injunction preventing the FDA from approving Actavis’ ANDA. As a result of the

24. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

filing of the suit, the 30-month stay period was triggered. Fact discovery concluded on October 19, 2012. A
mediation  was  held  on  November  13,  2012,  but  did  not  result  in  settlement.  The  bench  trial  is  set  to
commence on July 8, 2013.

In  addition  to  seeking  injunctive  relief  on  the  basis  of  patent  infringement  in  the  federal  case  described
above, Medicis is also seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages in a lawsuit filed against Actavis in
the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa. In the lawsuit, filed on March 21, 2011,
Medicis  alleges  that  Actavis  has  breached  a  distribution  and  supply  agreement  with  Medicis  by  filing  and
pursuing  its  ZIANA(cid:4)  ANDA  with  the  FDA  without  following  certain  requirements  set  forth  in  such
agreement,  including  a  requirement  to  provide  advance  notice  to  Medicis.  Medicis  sought  both  money
damages and injunctive relief as remedies in the action. The injunctive relief sought in the lawsuit includes a
request  to  enjoin  Actavis  from  pursuing  its  generic  version  of  ZIANA(cid:4)  for  a  period  of  time  that  could
extend  beyond  the  30-month  stay  applicable  in  the  federal  case.  Medicis  has  filed  a  motion  for  summary
judgment in this matter. Discovery is ongoing.

Actavis ZYCLARA(cid:4) Litigation

On August 8, 2012, Medicis received a Notice of Paragraph IV Patent Certification from Actavis advising
that  Actavis  has  filed  an  ANDA  with  the  FDA  for  a  generic  version  of  Medicis’  product  ZYCLARA(cid:4)
(Imiquimod)  Cream,  3.75%.  Actavis’  Paragraph  IV  Certification  alleges  that  Medicis’  U.S.  Patent
No.  8,236,816  (the  ‘‘‘816  Patent’’)  is  invalid,  unenforceable  and/or  will  not  be  infringed  by  Actavis’
manufacture, use or sale of the product for which the ANDA was submitted. On August 31, 2012, Medicis
filed  suit  against  Actavis  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  District  of  Delaware  alleging  infringement  by
Actavis of one or more claims of the ‘816 Patent. Medicis received an Issue Notification for a second patent
covering ZYCLARA(cid:4) Cream, 3.75%, which patent was expected to issue on August 14, 2012 pursuant to
U.S.  Patent  Application  No.  13/182,433  (the  ‘‘‘433  Application’’).  Medicis  subsequently  received  from
Actavis a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification with respect to the ‘433 Application. On October 30, 2012,
the  USPTO  issued  U.S.  Patent  No.  8,299,109  under  the  ‘433  Application  (the  ‘‘‘109  Patent’’).  On
November  2,  2012,  Medicis  received  a  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Patent  Certification  from  Actavis  alleging
that the ‘109 Patent is invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Actavis’ manufacture, use or
sale of the product for which the ANDA was submitted. The Paragraph IV Certification is in substance the
same  as  the  previously  received  Paragraph  IV  Certifications.  On  November  21,  2012  the  Court  entered  a
scheduling  order  in  the  case  setting  a  Markman  hearing  date  of  June  21,  2013  and  a  trial  beginning  on
January 21, 2014. The matter is proceeding  in the ordinary course.

Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. SOLODYN(cid:4) Litigation

On  June  4,  2012,  Medicis  filed  suit  against  Zydus  Pharmaceuticals  USA,  Inc.  and  Cadila  Healthcare  Ltd.
d/b/a/ Zydus Cadila (together, ‘‘Zydus’’) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On June 5,
2012,  Medicis  filed  suit  against  Zydus  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  District  of  New  Jersey.  The  suits
seek an adjudication that Zydus has infringed one or more claims of Medicis’ U.S. Patent Nos. 5,908,838,
7,790,705  and  7,919,483  (the  ‘‘Patents’’)  by  submitting  to  the  FDA  an  ANDA  for  generic  versions  of
SOLODYN(cid:4) (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets in 45mg, 55mg, 65mg, 80mg, 90mg, 105mg
and 135mg strengths. The relief requested includes a request for a permanent injunction preventing Zydus
from  infringing  the  asserted  claims  of  the  Patents  by  engaging  in  the  manufacture,  use,  offer  to  sell,  sale,
importation or distribution of generic versions of SOLODYN(cid:4) before the expiration of the Patents. Medicis
and Zydus entered into a settlement agreement on December 20, 2012 and the litigation was dismissed on
December 28, 2012.

Alkem Laboratories Limited Paragraph  IV Patent Certification for Generic Versions of SOLODYN(cid:4)

On  October  29,  2012,  Medicis  received  a  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Patent  Certification  from  Alkem
Laboratories Limited (‘‘Alkem’’) advising that Alkem has filed an ANDA with the FDA for generic versions
of  SOLODYN(cid:4)  (minocycline  HCl,  USP)  Extended  Release  Tablets  in  45mg,  65mg,  90mg,  115mg  and
135mg  strengths.  Alkem’s  Paragraph  IV  Patent  Certification  alleges  that  Medicis’  U.S.  Patent
Nos.  5,908,838,  7,541,347,  7,544,373,  7,790,705,  7,919,483,  8,252,776  and  8,268,804  are 
invalid,
unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Alkem’s manufacture, use or sale of the products for which
the  ANDA  was  submitted.  On  December  5,  2012,  Medicis  filed  suit  against  Alkem  in  the  United  States
District Court for the District of Delaware. On December 7, 2012, Medicis filed suit against Alkem in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suits seek an adjudication that Alkem has
infringed  one  or  more  claims  of  Medicis’  U.S.  Patent  Nos.  5,908,838,  7,790,705  and  8,268,804
(the  ‘‘Patents’’)  by  submitting  to  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  an  Abbreviated  New  Drug
Application  for  generic  versions  of  SOLODYN(cid:4)  (minocycline  HCl,  USP)  Extended  Release  Tablets  in
45mg,  65mg,  90mg,  115mg  and  135mg  strengths.  The  relief  requested  includes  requests  for  a  permanent
injunction  preventing  Alkem  from  infringing  the  asserted  claims  of  the  Patents  by  engaging  in  the
manufacture,  use,  offer  to  sell,  sale,  importation  or  distribution  of  generic  versions  of  SOLODYN  before
the expiration of the Patents. The matters are proceeding in the ordinary  course.

Sidmak  Laboratories (India) Pvt., Ltd. Paragraph IV  Patent Certification for Generic Versions
of SOLODYN(cid:4)

On  November  2,  2012,  Medicis  received  a  Notice  of  Paragraph  IV  Patent  Certification  from  Sidmak
Laboratories  (India)  Pvt.,  Ltd.  (‘‘Sidmak’’)  advising  that  Sidmak  has  filed  an  ANDA  with  the  FDA  for
generic versions of SOLODYN(cid:4) (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets in 45mg, 55mg, 65mg,
80mg, 110mg, 115mg and 135mg strengths. Sidmak’s Paragraph IV Patent Certification alleges that Medicis’
U.S.  Patent  Nos.  5,908,838,  7,790,705,  7,919,483,  8,252,776  and  8,268,804  are  invalid  and/or  will  not  be
infringed  by  Sidmak’s  manufacture,  use  or  sale  of  the  products  for  which  the  ANDA  was  submitted.  On
December 5, 2012, Medicis filed suit against Sidmak in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware.  The  suit  seeks  an  adjudication  that  Sidmak  has  infringed  one  or  more  claims  of  Medicis’
U.S. Patent Nos. 5,908,838, 7,790,705 and 8,268,804 (the ‘‘Patents’’) by submitting to the FDA an ANDA for
generic versions of SOLODYN(cid:4) (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets in 45mg, 65mg, 90mg,
115mg and 135mg strengths. The relief requested includes requests for a permanent injunction preventing
Sidmak from infringing the asserted claims of the Patents by engaging in the manufacture, use, offer to sell,
sale, importation or distribution of generic versions of SOLODYN before the expiration of the Patents. The
matter is proceeding in the ordinary  course.

Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Federal  Trade  Commission
Medicis  entered  into  various  settlement  and  other  agreements  with  makers  of  generic  SOLODYN(cid:4)
products  following  patent  infringement  claims  and  litigation.  On  May  2,  2012,  Medicis  received  a  civil
investigative demand from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the ‘‘FTC’’) requiring that Medicis provide
to the FTC information and documents relating to such agreements, 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(cid:4). 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.

24. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

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.  The  Company  believes  that  the  EEOC  charges  and  threatened  class  action
lack merit.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The  Company  leases  certain  facilities,  vehicles  and  equipment  principally  under  operating  leases.  Rental
expense related to operating lease agreements amounted to $22.9 million, $18.1 million and $12.2 million in
2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Minimum  future  rental  payments  under  non-cancelable  operating  leases  for  each  of  the  five  succeeding

Other Commitments

The Company had no material commitments related  to  capital expenditures as  of December 31, 2012.

Under  certain  research  and  development  agreements,  the  Company  may  be  required  to  make  payments
contingent  upon  the  achievement  of  specific  developmental,  regulatory,  or  commercial  milestones.  The
Company  may  make  contingent  consideration  payments  of  up  to  $200.0  million  related  to  Valeant’s
acquisition  of  Aton.  The  Company  could  also  pay  contingent  consideration  of  up  to  $114.0  million,
$59.9  million  and  $40.0  million  related  to  acquisitions  of  OraPharma,  iNova  and  University  Medical,
respectively. Each of these arrangements is further described in note 3. In addition, the Company may pay
potential  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $659.3  million,  in  the  aggregate,  to  third-parties  as  part  of  certain
product  development and license agreements assumed in  connection with the  Medicis acquisition.

Indemnification Provisions

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  enters  into  agreements  that  include  indemnification
provisions  for  product  liability  and  other  matters.  These  provisions  are  generally  subject  to  maximum
amounts,  specified  claim  periods,  and  other  conditions  and  limits.  As  of  December  31,  2012  or  2011,  no
material  amounts  were  accrued  for  the  Company’s  obligations  under  these  indemnification  provisions.  In
addition, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors in respect of any legal claims or
actions initiated against them in their capacity as officers and directors of the Company in accordance with
applicable  law.  Pursuant  to  such  indemnities,  the  Company  is  indemnifying  certain  former  officers  and
directors in respect of certain litigation and  regulatory matters.

26. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable Segments

As  a  result  of  the  acquisition  of  iNova  in  December  2011,  the  Company  operates  in  five  new  territories:
Malaysia,  Philippines,  Singapore,  Hong  Kong  and  South  Africa,  with  a  distribution  business  in  Thailand,
Taiwan and some sub-Saharan Africa markets. iNova also distributes through partners in China, Korea and
Japan.  Consequently,  the  Company’s  Chief  Executive  Officer,  who  is  the  Company’s  Chief  Operating
Decision Maker (‘‘CODM’’), began to manage the business differently, which necessitated a realignment of
the segment structure, effective in the first quarter of 2012. Pursuant to this change, the Company now has
four reportable segments: (i) U.S. Dermatology, (ii) U.S. Neurology and Other, (iii) Canada and Australia
and  (iv)  Emerging  Markets.  Accordingly,  the  Company  has  restated  prior  period  segment  information  to
conform to the current period presentation. The following is a brief description of the Company’s segments:

(cid:127) U.S.  Dermatology  consists  of  pharmaceutical  and  OTC  product  sales,  and  alliance  and  contract  service
revenues,  in  the  areas  of  dermatology  and  topical  medication,  aesthetics  (including  medical  devices),
dentistry, ophthalmology and podiatry.

(cid:127) U.S.  Neurology  and  Other  consists  of  sales  of  pharmaceutical  products  indicated  for  the  treatment  of
neurological  and  other  diseases,  as  well  as  alliance  revenue  from  the  licensing  of  various  products  the
Company developed or acquired.

(cid:127) Canada  and  Australia  consists  of  pharmaceutical  and  OTC  products  sold  in  Canada,  Australia  and

New Zealand.

(cid:127) Emerging  Markets  consists  of  branded  generic  pharmaceutical  products,  as  well  as  OTC  products  and
agency/in-licensing  arrangements  with  other  research-based  pharmaceutical  companies  (where  the
Company  distributes  and  markets  branded,  patented  products  under  long-term,  renewable  contracts).
Products are sold primarily in Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Serbia, and Russia), Latin America
(Mexico,  Brazil  and  exports  out  of  Mexico  to  other  Latin  American  markets),  Southeast  Asia  and
South Africa.

Segment  profit  is  based  on  operating  income  after  the  elimination  of  intercompany  transactions.  Certain
costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and in-process research and
development  impairments  and  other  charges,  are  not  included  in  the  measure  of  segment  profit,  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, 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.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Amendments to the Credit Agreement

On January 24, 2013, the Company and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into Amendment
No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to reprice the Term Loan A Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility.
As  amended,  the  applicable  margins  for  the  Term  Loan  A  Facility  and  the  New  Revolving  Credit  Facility
each  were reduced by 0.75%.

On  February  21,  2013,  the  Company  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries,  as  guarantors,  entered  into  an
amendment  to  the  Credit  Agreement  to  effectuate  a  repricing  of  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  and  the
Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility  (the  ‘‘Term  Loan  B  Repricing  Transaction’’)  by  the  issuance  of
$1.3 billion and $1.0 billion in new incremental term loans (the ‘‘Repriced Term Loan B Facilities’’). Term
loans  under  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  ($1.3  billion)  and  the  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility
($1.0  billion)  were  either  exchanged  for,  or  repaid  with  the  proceeds  of,  the  Repriced  Term  Loan  B
Facilities. The applicable margins for borrowings under the Repriced Term Loan B Facilities are 1.75% with
respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings, subject to a 0.75% LIBO
rate floor. The incremental term loans under the Repriced Term Loan B Facilities mature on February 13,
2019 ($1.3 billion) and December 11, 2019 ($1.0 billion), begin amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2013 at
an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms consistent with the New Term Loan B Facility and the Incremental
Term Loan B Facility, respectively. In connection with the refinancing of the New Term Loan B Facility and
the Incremental Term Loan B Facility pursuant to the Term Loan B Repricing Transaction, the Company
paid  a  prepayment  premium  of  approximately  $23.0  million,  equal  to  1.0%  of  the  refinanced  term  loans
under  the  New  Term  Loan  B  Facility  and  Incremental  Term  Loan  B  Facility.  In  addition,  repayments  of
outstanding loans under the Repriced Term Loan B Facilities in connection with certain refinancings on or
prior to August 21, 2013 require a prepayment premium of 1.0% of such loans prepaid.

Eisai

On  February  20,  2013,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  from  Eisai  Inc.  (‘‘Eisai’’)  for  approximately
$65.0  million.  In  addition,  the  Company  may  pay  up  to  an  additional  $60.0  million  of  contingent
consideration based on certain milestones. The assets acquired include the U.S. rights to Targretin(cid:4), which
is indicated for the treatment of Cutaneous  T-Cell Lymphoma.

Natur Produkt International, JSC

On  February  1,  2013,  the  Company  acquired  Natur  Produkt  International,  JSC  (‘‘Natur  Produkt’’),  a
specialty pharmaceutical company in Russia, for approximately $163.0 million, plus adjustments for net debt
and working capital. Natur Produkt’s key brand products include AntiGrippin(cid:5), Anti-Angin(cid:4), Sage(cid:5) and
Eucalyptus MA(cid:5).

The Eisai and Natur Produkt transactions described above will be accounted for as business combinations
under  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  The  Company  will  record  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities
assumed at their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. Due to the limited time since the closing
of  the  acquisitions,  the  valuation  efforts  and  related  acquisition  accounting  are  incomplete  at  the  time  of
filing  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  As  a  result,  the  Company  is  unable  to  provide  amounts
recognized as of the acquisition dates for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill.
In  addition,  because  the  acquisition  accounting  is  incomplete,  the  Company  is  unable  to  provide  the
supplemental  pro  forma  revenue  and  earnings  for  the  combined  entity,  as  the  pro  forma  adjustments  are
expected to primarily consist of estimates for the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired and
related income tax effects, which will result from the purchase price allocation and determination of the fair
values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
