ITEM 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 4, 2020, Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) released earnings for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020. The press release related to the Company’s earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

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, amortization expense, 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 intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures represents the entire amount recorded within the Company’s GAAP financial statements and is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. 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 gross margin and adjusted operating margin 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 growth excluding divested businesses, which includes the divested animal health business, the Canoderm prescription product, and the Rosemont Pharmaceuticals business as well as on a constant currency basis and on an organic basis, which excludes our oral self-care acquisitions, consisting of the 2019 acquisition of Ranir ("Ranir") and the 2020 acquisition of the oral self-care assets of High Ridge Brands, including Dr. Fresh®, REACH® and Firefly® brands ("Dr. Fresh"), as well as divested businesses and the impact of currency. These adjustments together help investors understand the business on both a continuing and going-forward basis without the exogenous impact of foreign exchange. The Company also provides adjusted net sales growth of the RX base business, which excludes discontinued products and the effects of the albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol recall. 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.

Investors should consider the non-GAAP measures provided in the attached earnings release in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company's reported financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

In deriving some or all of the non-GAAP measures provided, reported results for the periods below were adjusted for the following items:
