FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable.


Level 1:	Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


Level 2:	Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.


Level 3:	Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments carried at fair value and measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by the above pricing categories (in millions):

⁽²⁾	As of April 1, 2017, indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying amount of $26.0 million were written down to a fair value of $13.8 million, resulting in a total impairment charge of $12.2 million. As of December 31, 2016, indefinite-lived intangible assets with a carrying amount of $0.7 million were written down to a fair value of $0.3 million.

⁽³⁾

As of July 1, 2017, definite-lived intangible assets with a carrying amount of $31.1 million were written down to a fair value of $11.5 million, resulting in a total impairment charge of $19.6 million. As of December 31, 2016, definite-lived intangible assets with a carrying amount of $2.3 billion were written down to a fair value of $758.0 million, resulting in a total impairment charge of $1.5 billion. Included in this balance are indefinite-lived intangible assets with a fair value of $364.5 million and $674.2 million that were reclassified to definite-lived assets at April 3, 2016 and October 2, 2016, respectively.

There were no transfers among Level 1, 2, and 3 during the three and six months ended July 1, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. Our policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period. See Note 7 for information on our investment securities. See Note 8 for a discussion of derivatives.

Foreign currency forward contracts

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using a market approach, which utilizes values for comparable derivative instruments.

Funds Associated with Israel Severance Liability

Israeli labor laws and agreements require us to pay benefits to employees dismissed or retiring under certain circumstances. Severance pay is calculated on the basis of the most recent employee salary levels and the length of employee service. Our Israeli subsidiaries also provide retirement bonuses to certain managerial employees. We make regular deposits to retirement funds and purchase insurance policies to partially fund these liabilities. The funds are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms, as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Tysabri^® Royalty Stream

On December 18, 2013, we acquired Elan, which had a royalty agreement with Biogen Idec Inc. ("Biogen"), whereby Biogen conveyed the right to receive royalties that are typically payable on sales revenue generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the drug Tysabri^®. Pursuant to the royalty agreement, we were entitled to royalty payments from Biogen based on its Tysabri^® sales in all indications and geographies. We received royalties of 12% on worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri^®from December 18, 2013 through April 30, 2014. From May 1, 2014, we received royalties of 18% on annual worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri^®up to $2.0 billion and 25% on annual sales above $2.0 billion.

We accounted for the Tysabri^® royalty stream as a financial asset and elected to use the fair value option model. We made the election to account for the Tysabri^® financial asset using the fair value option as we believed this method was most appropriate for an asset that did not have a par value, a stated interest stream, or a termination date. The financial asset acquired represented a single unit of accounting. The fair value of the financial asset acquired was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis related to the expected probability weighted future cash flows to be generated by the royalty stream. The financial asset was classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as our valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs, including industry analyst estimates for global Tysabri^® sales, probability weighted as to the timing and amount of future cash flows along with certain discount rate assumptions. Cash flow forecasts included the estimated effect and timing of future competition, considering patents in effect for Tysabri^® through 2024 and contractual rights to receive cash flows into perpetuity. The discounted cash flows were based upon the expected royalty stream forecasted into perpetuity using a 20-year discrete period with a declining rate terminal value.

In the first quarter of 2016, a competitor's pipeline product, Ocrevus^®, received breakthrough therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Breakthrough therapy designation is granted when a drug is intended alone or in combination with one or more other drugs to treat a serious or life threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. In June 2016, the FDA granted priority review with a target action date in December 2016. A priority review is a designation when the FDA will direct overall attention and resources to the evaluation of applications for drugs that, if approved, would be significant improvements in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions when compared to standard applications. The product was approved late in the first quarter of 2017. The product is expected to compete with Tysabri^®, and we expected it to have a significant negative impact on the Tysabri^®royalty stream. Industry analysts believe that, based on released clinical study information, Ocrevus^® will compete favorably against Tysabri^® in the relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis market segment due to its high efficacy and convenient dosage form.

Given the new market information for Ocrevus^®, we used industry analyst estimates to reduce our first ten year growth forecasts from an average of growth of approximately 3.4% in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 to an average decline of approximately minus 2.0% in the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2016. In November 2016, we announced we were evaluating strategic alternatives for the Tysabri^® asset. As of December 31, 2016, the financial asset was adjusted based on the strategic review and sale process. These effects, combined with the change in discount rate each quarter, led to a reduction in fair value of $204.4 million, $910.8 million, $377.4 million and $1.1 billion in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively.

On March 27, 2017, we announced the completed divestment of our Tysabri^® royalty stream to Royalty Pharma for up to $2.85 billion, which consists of $2.2 billion in cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in milestone payments if the royalties on global net sales of Tysabri^® that are received by Royalty Pharma meet specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this transaction, we transferred the entire financial asset to Royalty Pharma and recorded a $17.1 million gain during the three months ended July 1, 2017. We elected to account for the contingent milestone payments using the fair value option method, and these were recorded at an estimated fair value of $145.8 million as of July 1, 2017. We chose the fair value option as we believe it will help investors understand the potential future cash flows we may receive associated with the two contingent milestones.

We valued the contingent milestone payments using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri^® that are received by Royalty Pharma over time until payment of the contingent milestone payments is completed. Volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones have a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. We assumed volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.05% in the valuation of contingent milestone payments performed as of July 1, 2017. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties. During the three months ended July 1, 2017, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments decreased $39.2 million as a result of a decrease in the estimated projected Tysabri^® revenues due to the launch of Ocrevus^® late in the first quarter of 2017.

Our accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2016 included $84.4 million related to the Tysabri^® royalty stream.

The table below presents a reconciliation for Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions). Realized losses in the table were recorded in the line item "Change in financial assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration represents milestone payment obligations obtained through product acquisitions, which are valued using estimates based on probability-weighted outcomes, sensitivity analysis, and discount rates reflective of the risk involved. The estimates are updated quarterly and the liabilities are adjusted to fair value depending on a number of assumptions, including the competitive landscape and regulatory approvals that may impact the future sales of a product. We reduced a contingent consideration liability associated with certain IPR&D assets and recorded a corresponding gain of $15.6 million during the six months ended July 1, 2017. The liability decrease relates to a reduction of the probability of achievement assumptions and anticipated cash flows. Purchases or additions for the six months ended July 2, 2016 included contingent consideration associated with two transactions. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We have seven reporting units for which we assess goodwill for impairment. We utilize a comparable company market approach, weighted equally with a discounted cash flow analysis, to determine the fair value of the reporting units. We utilize either a relief from royalty method or a multi-period excess earnings method ("MPEEM") to value our indefinite-lived intangible assets, and use a consistent set of projected financial information for the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment tests. The discounted cash flow analysis that we prepared for goodwill impairment testing purposes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included long-term growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 3.0%. We also utilized discount rates ranging from 7.0% to 14.5%, which were deemed to be commensurate with the required investment return and risk involved in realizing the projected free cash flows of each reporting unit. In addition, we burdened projected free cash flows with the capital spending deemed necessary to support the cash flows of each reporting unit, and applied the tax rates that were applicable to the jurisdictions represented within each reporting unit. We recorded Impairment charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $130.5 million and $273.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended April 2, 2016. See Note 3 for additional detail on impaired goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

When assessing our definite-lived assets for impairment, we utilize either a MPEEM or a relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the asset and use the forecasts that are consistent with those used in the reporting unit analysis.

Assets Held for sale

When a group of assets is classified as held-for-sale, the book value is evaluated and adjusted to the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. See Note 9 for additional information on the impaired assets held for sale, net.

Fixed Rate Long-term Debt

As of July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our fixed rate long-term debt consisted of public bonds, private placement notes, and retail bonds. As of July 1, 2017, the public bonds had a carrying value of $2.6 billion and a fair value of $2.7 billion. As of December 31, 2016, the public bonds had a carrying value and fair value of $4.6 billion. The fair values of our public bonds for both periods were based on quoted market prices (Level 1).

As of July 1, 2017, our retail bonds and private placement notes had a carrying value of $634.3 million (excluding a premium of $40.2 million) and a fair value of $682.7 million. As of December 31, 2016, our retail bonds and private placement notes had a carrying value of $773.1 million (excluding a premium of $49.8 million) and a fair value of $825.0 million. The fair values of our retail bonds and private placement notes for both periods were based on interest rates offered for borrowings of a similar nature and remaining maturities (Level 2).

The carrying amounts of our other financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and variable rate long-term debt, approximate their fair value.
