Perrigo Company plc (NYSE; TASE: PRGO) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Additional GAAP reported results: Reported net sales were lower in the Consumer Healthcare Americas ("CHCA") and Consumer Healthcare International ("CHCI") segments by 2% and 3%, respectively, due primarily to actions taken last year to sell non-profitable businesses. Reported net sales were relatively in-line compared to last year in the Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") segment.

Perrigo CEO John T. Hendrickson commented, "We are very pleased with the continued performance across all segments for the first nine months of this year driven by positive execution of the team. In the quarter, our CHCA segment adjusted net sales grew more than 1% with record third quarter adjusted operating margin of 23.2%. Our CHCI segment delivered an impressive 5% net sales growth in the quarter, on a constant currency basis and excluding the exited distribution businesses, with an adjusted operating margin of 16.4%. RX net sales grew 4% excluding a $10 million year-over-year Entocort(®) impact as new product launches more than offset expected price erosion. Adjusted operating margin in this business remains over 40% driven by new product launches and solid execution by the RX team on the base business. Finally, our durable business model and efficient supply chain delivered excellent cash flow conversion to adjusted net income for the third quarter.

These results were driven by actions established to focus and simplify our businesses as illustrated by the strong, durable margins across all segments. Our cost optimization program remains on track, and we again utilized our balance sheet flexibility to repurchase $133 million of shares in the quarter. Importantly, actions we have taken are enabling our businesses to grow in challenging end markets and are working to enhance our portfolio and product offerings to customers with targeted business development. We remain well positioned to deliver on our commitment of providing Quality Affordable Healthcare Products(®) to customers, patients and families around the globe."

    (1)              Third quarter 2017 net sales have
                     been adjusted to exclude
                     approximately $17 million of sales
                     attributable to the Israel API
                     held-for-sale business. Third
                     quarter 2016 net sales have been
                     adjusted to exclude approximately
                     $22 million of sales attributable
                     to divested businesses, primarily
                     the U.S. Vitamins, Minerals, and
                     Supplements ("VMS") business.

Reported net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $1.2 billion, which included new product sales of $55 million and discontinued products of $6 million. Adjusted net sales grew 3% compared to the prior year excluding: 1) net sales from the U.S. VMS business of $21 million, which was sold in the third quarter of 2016, 2) net sales from the exited European distribution businesses of $42 million, 3) lower year-over-year net sales of $10 million from Entocort(® )and, 4) favorable foreign currency movements of $13 million.

Reported net income was $45 million, or $0.31 per share versus a net loss of $1,590 million, or $11.10 per diluted share, in the prior year. Excluding charges as outlined in Table I at the end of this release, third quarter 2017 adjusted net income was $197 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, versus adjusted net income of $176 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

    (1)              Third quarter 2016 net sales have
                     been adjusted to exclude
                     approximately $21 million of sales
                     attributable to the U.S. VMS
                     business, which was sold in the
                     third quarter 2016.

    (2)              Third quarter 2016 adjusted gross
                     margin and operating margin use
                     adjusted net sales as the
                     denominator.

CHCA third quarter reported net sales were $599 million compared to $611 million last year. Excluding $21 million from U.S. VMS in the prior year, adjusted net sales grew more than 1% on a constant currency basis. This increase was driven by higher net sales in the gastrointestinal category along with higher net sales in the animal health and Mexico businesses compared to the prior year. New product sales of $13 million were led by the store brand version of Nexium(®), which launched late in the third quarter. These positive drivers were partially offset by lower sales primarily in the smoking cessation and contract categories and pricing pressure in certain OTC categories, along with discontinued products of $3 million.

The CHCA segment achieved third quarter reported gross profit margin of 34.4% and adjusted gross profit margin of 36.4%, primarily due to increased net sales in relatively higher margin categories, such as animal health and dermatology, and positive contributions from supply chain efficiencies. These positive contributions were partially offset by price erosion in certain OTC categories versus the prior year.

Reported operating margin was 20.8%. Adjusted operating margin was 23.2%, which was higher compared to the prior year due to gross margin flow through, lower selling and administrative costs due to restructuring actions and timing of R&D investments.

Reported net sales decreased 3% compared to the third quarter of 2016. Net sales grew approximately 5% excluding $42 million from the exited unprofitable European distribution businesses and favorable foreign currency movements of $12 million. This increase was driven primarily by higher net sales in the cough, cold and allergy, analgesics, and lifestyle categories, in addition to new product sales of $11 million dollars. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales in the personal care and anti-parasite categories in addition to discontinued products of $3 million.

Third quarter reported gross margin was 45.4%, an increase of 430 bps over the previous year. Adjusted gross margin was 51.4%, an increase of approximately 570 bps over the previous year as the Company exited the unprofitable distribution businesses.

Reported operating margin was 1.2%. Adjusted operating margin was 16.4%, which included advertising and promotional investments in-line with spending levels in the prior year.

Reported net sales in the third quarter were $251 million, relatively in-line compared to last year. Excluding the $10 million year-over-year impact of Entocort(®), net sales grew 4% led by new product sales of $31 million. Sales of existing products were lower by $22 million, due primarily to price erosion.

Reported gross margin was 46.6% and adjusted gross margin was 54.9%, which were lower compared to the prior year, primarily due to price erosion and Entocort(®) competition.

Reported operating margin was 32.8%. Adjusted operating margin was 42.4%, in-line with last year primarily driven by lower selling expenses due to restructuring actions and the timing of R&D investments.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements." These statements relate to future events or the Company's future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company or its industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While the Company believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, including: the timing, amount and cost of any share repurchases; future impairment charges; the success of management transition; customer acceptance of new products; competition from other industry participants, some of whom have greater marketing resources or larger market shares in certain product categories than the Company does; pricing pressures from customers and consumers; potential third-party claims and litigation, including litigation relating to the Company's restatement of previously-filed financial information; potential impacts of ongoing or future government investigations and regulatory initiatives; resolution of uncertain tax positions; the impact of U.S. tax reform legislation; general economic conditions; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates; the consummation of announced acquisitions or dispositions, and the Company's ability to realize the desired benefits thereof; the Company's ability to achieve its guidance; and the Company's ability to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced cost-reduction efforts and other initiatives. In addition, the Company may identify and be unable to remediate one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may incur additional tax liabilities in respect of 2016 and prior years as a result of any restatement or may be found to have breached certain provisions of Irish company legislation in respect of prior financial statements and if so may incur additional expenses and penalties. These and other important factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as the Company's subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has provided reconciliations for net sales on a constant currency basis, net sales excluding sales attributable to held-for-sale businesses, the European distribution businesses and Entocort(®), as well as adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted EPS guidance and adjusted diluted shares within this press release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for these non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures as additional information that it believes is useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the performance of the Company's ongoing operating trends, facilitating comparability between periods and companies in similar industries and assessing the Company's prospects for future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items, such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, and acquisition and integration-related charges, that by their nature affect comparability of operational performance or that we believe obscure underlying business operational trends. The non-GAAP measures the Company provides are consistent with how management analyzes and assesses the operating performance of the Company, and disclosing them provides investor insight into management's view of the business. Management uses these adjusted financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods, and evaluating segment and overall operating performance. In addition, management uses certain of the profit measures as factors in determining compensation.

Non-GAAP measures related to profit measurements, which include adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating cash flows, and adjusted diluted shares are useful to investors as they provide them with supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's underlying business performance and trends, and enhance the ability of investors and analysts to compare the Company's period-to-period financial results. Management believes that adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors, in addition to the reasons discussed above, by allowing them to more easily compare and analyze trends in the Company's peer business group and assisting them in comparing the Company's overall performance to that of its competitors. The Company discloses adjusted net sales, which excludes operating results attributable to held-for-sale businesses, the European distribution businesses and Entocort(® )in order to provide information about sales of the Company's continuing business. In addition, the Company discloses net sales growth and adjusted net sales growth on a constant currency basis to provide information about sales of the Company's continuing business excluding the exogenous impact of foreign exchange. The Company believes these supplemental financial measures provide investors with consistency in financial reporting, enabling meaningful comparisons of past, present and future underlying operating results, and also facilitate comparison of the Company's operating performance to the operating performance of its competitors.
