Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Risks

Mylan is exposed to certain financial risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary financial risks that are managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity risk.

In order to manage foreign currency risk, Mylan enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risk associated with changes in spot exchange rates of mainly non-functional currency denominated assets or liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has also entered into forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated sales from certain international subsidiaries. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges to manage foreign currency transaction risk and are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any changes in fair value are included in earnings or deferred through accumulated other comprehensive earnings (“AOCE”), depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate debt. These derivative instruments are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt. Any changes in fair value are included in earnings or deferred through AOCE, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset. Any ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedging relationship is recognized immediately in earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps on floating-rate debt was $850 million. A total of $750 million of the Company’s floating rate debt interest rate swaps have been extended through additional forward-starting swaps.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a series of forward starting swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact the Company’s expected future financing of the acquisition of Agila Specialties. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of expected future issuances of long-term bonds. The Company executed $1.07 billion of notional value swaps with an effective date in September 2013. The swaps have maturities ranging from five years to 30 years.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a series of forward starting swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact future debt issuances. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of expected future issuances of long-term bonds. The Company executed $1.80 billion of notional value swaps with effective dates ranging from December 2014 to August 2015. These swaps have maturities of ten years.

The Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges convert the fixed rate on a portion of the Company’s fixed rate 6.0% Senior Notes due 2018 to a variable rate. These interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting change in fair value of the portion of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, is included in interest expense. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps on fixed-rate debt was $500 million.

Certain derivative instrument contracts entered into by the Company are governed by Master Agreements, which contain credit-risk-related contingent features that would allow the counterparties to terminate the contracts early and request immediate payment should the Company trigger an event of default on other specified borrowings. The aggregate fair value of all such contracts, which are in a net asset position at March 31, 2013, is $26.8 million. The Company is not subject to any obligations to post collateral under derivative instrument contracts.

The Company maintains significant credit exposure arising from the convertible note hedge on its Cash Convertible Notes. Holders may convert their Cash Convertible Notes subject to certain conversion provisions determined by a) the market price of the Company’s common stock, b) specified distributions to common shareholders, c) a fundamental change, as defined in the purchase agreement, or d) certain time periods specified in the purchase agreement. The conversion feature can only be settled in cash and, therefore, it is bifurcated from the Cash Convertible Notes and treated as a separate derivative instrument. In order to offset the cash flow risk associated with the cash conversion feature, the Company entered into a convertible note hedge with certain counterparties. Both the cash conversion feature and the purchased convertible note hedge are measured at fair value with gains and losses recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also, in conjunction with the issuance of the Cash Convertible Notes, the Company entered into several warrant transactions with certain counterparties. The warrants meet the definition of derivatives; however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock, and have been recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the instruments are exempt from the scope of the FASB’s guidance regarding accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and are not subject to the fair value provisions set forth therein.

At March 31, 2013, the convertible note hedge had a total fair value of $691.6 million, which reflects the maximum loss that would be incurred should the parties fail to perform according to the terms of the contract. The counterparties are highly rated diversified financial institutions with both commercial and investment banking operations. The counterparties are required to post collateral against this obligation should they be downgraded below thresholds specified in the contract. Eligible collateral is comprised of a wide range of financial securities with a valuation discount percentage reflecting the associated risk.

The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its financial counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under any agreements.

The Company records all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities. The asset and liability balances presented in the tables below reflect the gross amounts of derivatives recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an identical asset or paid to transfer an identical liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.


•	Level 2: Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:

For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including the LIBOR yield curve, foreign exchange forward prices, and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities:


•	Cash equivalents — valued at observable net asset value prices.


•	Trading securities — valued at the active quoted market price from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date.


•	Available-for-sale fixed income investments — valued at the quoted market price from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date.


•	Available-for-sale equity securities — valued using quoted stock prices from the London Exchange at the reporting date and translated to U.S. Dollars at prevailing spot exchange rates.


•	Interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities — valued using the LIBOR/EURIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that would reduce the receivable amount owed, if any, to the Company.


•	Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities — valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that would reduce the receivable amount owed, if any, to the Company.

•

Cash conversion feature of cash convertible notes and purchased convertible note hedge — valued using quoted prices for the Company’s cash convertible notes, its implied volatility and the quoted yield on the Company’s other long-term debt at the reporting date. Counterparties to the purchased convertible note hedge are highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that would reduce the receivable amount owed, if any, to the Company.

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s contingent consideration represents a component of the total purchase consideration for the respiratory delivery platform and certain other acquisitions. The measurement is calculated using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. Significant unobservable inputs in the valuation include the probability and timing of future development and commercial milestones and future profit sharing payments. A discounted cash flow method was used to value contingent consideration at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate of return. Discount rates ranging from 2.2% to 10.3% were utilized in the valuation. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, accretion of $7.7 million was recorded in interest expense, and the Company also recorded a fair value adjustment to decrease the liability of approximately $1.9 million.

Although the Company has not elected the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities, any future transacted financial asset or liability will be evaluated for the fair value election.
