SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or treat conditions that can be self-managed.

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, 2020. 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.

On March 1, 2021, we announced a definitive agreement to sell our generic RX Pharmaceuticals business ("RX business") to Altaris Capital Partners, LLC ("Altaris"). On July 6, 2021, we completed the sale of the RX business. The financial results of our RX business, which were previously reported in our Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of our RX business are reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented prior to the sale. Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout the Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations.

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 self-care categories, and contract manufacturing) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

•Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI") comprises our consumer self-care business primarily branded in Europe and Australia, our store brand business in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe and Asia, and our liquid licensed products business in the United Kingdom until it was disposed on June 19, 2020.

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):
