General Information

The Company

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013 and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation, on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and its subsidiaries.

Our vision is to make lives better by bringing Quality, Affordable Self-Care Products that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that are designed to enhance individual well-being.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included and include our accounts and the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting

Our reporting and operating segments are as follows:

Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA") comprises our consumer self-care business (OTC, infant formula, and oral care categories, and contract manufacturing) in the U.S. and Canada, including the HRA Pharma self-care business (Women's Health and Skin-Care categories) in the U.S. and Canada since it was acquired on April 29, 2022. CSCA previously included our Mexico and Brazil-based OTC businesses ("Latin American businesses") until they were disposed on March 9, 2022.

Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI") comprises our consumer self-care business in Europe and Australia, which are primarily branded, our store brand business in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe and Asia, and includes the HRA Pharma self-care business (Women's Health, Skin-Care and Rare-Disease categories) in Europe since it was acquired on April 29, 2022.

We previously had an RX segment, which was comprised of our prescription pharmaceuticals business in
the U.S. and other pharmaceuticals and diagnostic business in Israel, which businesses have been divested. Following the divestiture, there were no substantial assets or operations left in this segment. The RX segment was reported as Discontinued Operations in 2021, and is presented as such for all periods in this report (refer to Note 8).

Non-U.S. Operations

We translate our non-U.S. dollar-denominated operations’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the
reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in the cumulative
translation account, a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Gains or losses
from foreign currency transactions are included in Other (income) expense, net.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets are measured collectively by geographic location. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the primary basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information may be made for significant changes in a geographic location’s economic conditions. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. These receivables are not included in the collective evaluation.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the instruments’ cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Trade receivables and contract assets are charged off against the allowance when the balance is no longer deemed collectible.
The following table presents the allowance for credit losses activity (in millions):
