Perrigo Company plc - Form 8-K/A Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is an Amendment No. 1 (Form 8-K/A) to a Current Report filed on May 12, 2016, by Perrigo Company plc. The report addresses the Company's results of operations for the first quarter ended April 2, 2016. The amendment was issued to correct a misstatement in interim income taxes related to the recording of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and estimated goodwill impairment.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It explicitly states that the correction impacts the reported GAAP net loss and GAAP diluted loss per share. However, the filing notes that these corrections do not affect the Company's adjusted results or adjusted guidance as originally reported.
Material Changes and Corrections
The primary material change is the restatement of GAAP financial figures due to an accounting error regarding income taxes associated with impairment charges. The Company is reissuing its Earnings Release in its entirety to avoid confusion. The filing details the specific non-GAAP adjustments used to evaluate core business performance for the three months ended April 2, 2016, and March 28, 2015, including:
- Amortization of acquired assets.
- Operating results from held-for-sale businesses.
- Acquisition and integration-related charges.
- Goodwill and intangible impairment charges.
- Restructuring charges.
- Extinguishment of debt costs.
- Equity method investment losses.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management confirmed that the 2016 full-year guidance remains unchanged by this correction. The guidance continues to exclude items such as amortization of acquired assets, integration charges, held-for-sale results, impairment charges, and equity method investment losses. The filing includes standard disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP measures and notes that the information in this report is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
