Financial Instruments and Risk Management

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.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period incurred in the 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 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.

Interest Rate Risk Management

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 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 or hedge part of the Company’s interest rate exposure associated with the variability in the future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. In conjunction with the senior notes offering during the second quarter of 2013 and the related repayment of the Company’s variable-rate U.S. Term Loans (the “U.S. Term Loans”) (see Note 7), the Company terminated all existing interest rate swaps that had previously fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate U.S. Term Loans. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $0.8 million that had previously been classified in AOCE was recognized into other (expense) income, net, as the forecasted transaction was no longer probable of occurring. In addition, $750 million of floating-rate debt interest rate swaps that were extended through forward-starting swaps were terminated during the year ended December 31, 2013 in the transaction described above. The total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps on floating-rate debt was $850 million as of December 31, 2012. There were no interest rate swaps on floating-rate debt as of December 31, 2013.

In anticipation of issuing fixed-rate debt, the Company may use treasury rate locks or forward starting interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. During the first and third quarters 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 financing of the acquisition of Agila. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of expected future interest payments. In February 2013, the Company executed interest rate swaps with a notional value of $1.07 billion. In September 2013, the terms of these swaps were extended to an effective date in November 2013 and the Company executed an additional $930 million of notional value of interest rate swaps with an effective date in November 2013. In November 2013 all of the swaps were terminated in conjunction with the completion of the financing of the Agila acquisition. A gain of $41.2 million is recorded in AOCE, which will be amortized over the term of the related financing transactions. In addition, $0.8 million of hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in other (expense) income, net.

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 interest payments related to these issuances. 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 senior notes to a variable rate. These interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges are measured at fair value and reported as assets or current liabilities in the 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. In June 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $500 million that were designated as hedges of the Company’s 1.800% Senior Notes due 2016. The variable rate was 1.41% at December 31, 2013. In December 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $750 million that were designated as hedges of the Company’s 3.125% Senior Notes due 2023. The variable rate was 0.57% at December 31, 2013. The total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps on fixed-rate debt was $1.8 billion and $500 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

In November 2011, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps that had previously fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s term loans. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2011, charges of approximately $13.9 million that had previously been classified in AOCE were recognized into other (expense) income, net.

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 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 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, the instruments are exempt from the scope of GAAP guidance regarding accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and are not subject to the fair value provisions set forth therein.

At December 31, 2013, the convertible note hedge had a total fair value of $1.30 billion, 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 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 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. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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.


•	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.


•	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.

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, the Agila acquisition and certain other acquisitions. The measurement is calculated using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. For the respiratory platform and certain other acquisitions, 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 December 31, 2013 and 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 0.8% to 11.3% were utilized in the valuation. For the Agila acquisition, significant unobservable inputs in the valuation include the probability of future payments to the seller of amounts withheld at the closing date. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liability. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, accretion of $32.3 million and $30.7 million, respectively, was recorded in interest expense. A fair value adjustment to increase the liability of approximately $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.

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.
