Long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment charges associated with these assets are included in Asset impairments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company continues to monitor the recoverability of its finite-lived intangible assets and tests the intangible assets for impairment if indicators of impairment are present.

Asset impairments, including loss on assets held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $148 million and include: (i) an impairment of $71 million due to decreases in forecasted sales of a certain product line in the Ortho Dermatologics business, (ii) an adjustment of $68 million to the loss on assets held for sale in connection with the Amoun Sale and (iii) impairments of $9 million, in aggregate, related to the discontinuance of certain product lines.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually on October 1st at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. The Company performs its annual impairment test by first assessing qualitative factors. Where the qualitative assessment suggests that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed for that reporting unit (Step 1).

The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model which utilizes Level 3 unobservable inputs. The discounted cash flow model relies on assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, gross profit, projected working capital needs, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, income tax rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates. To estimate fair value, the Company discounts the forecasted cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate the Company uses represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in its reporting unit operations and the rate of return a market participant would expect to earn. The quantitative fair value test is performed utilizing long-term growth rates and discount rates applied to the estimated cash flows in estimation of fair value. To estimate cash flows beyond the final year of its model, the Company estimates a terminal value by applying an in-perpetuity growth assumption and discount factor to determine the reporting unit's terminal value.

To forecast a reporting unit's cash flows the Company takes into consideration economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, management's and a market participant's view of growth rates and product lives, and anticipates future economic conditions. Revenue growth rates inherent in these forecasts are based on input from internal and external market research that compare factors such as growth in global economies, recent industry trends and product life-cycles. Macroeconomic factors such as changes in economies, changes in the competitive landscape including the unexpected loss of exclusivity to the Company's product portfolio, changes in government legislation, product life-cycles, industry consolidations and other changes beyond the Company’s control could have a positive or negative impact on achieving its targets. Accordingly, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute its strategies, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future and such change could be material.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken actions to protect its employees, customers and other stakeholders and mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations and operating results. These and additional actions can increase the costs of doing business during the pandemic and, in the periods that follow, may include the costs of idling and reopening certain facilities in affected areas. Further, social restrictions and other precautionary measures taken by customers, health care patients and consumers in response to the pandemic are expected to impact the timing and amount of revenues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy have led to significant volatility in the global equity markets. The Company has been able to continue its operations with limited disruptions and has assessed the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have on its forecasted cash flows. In performing its assessment, the Company considered the possible effects and outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic on, among other things, its supply chain, customers and distributors, employee base, product sustainability, research and development activities, product pipeline and consumer demand and related rebates and discounts and has made adjustments, although not considered to be material to its long-term

forecasts used in its previous goodwill impairment assessments, for these and other matters. After completing this assessment, although not completely insulated from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes that its long-term forecasted cash flows, as adjusted for the possible outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic and other matters, do not indicate that the fair value of any reporting unit may be below its carrying value.

During the pandemic, the public has been advised to engage in certain "social restrictions" such as: (i) remaining at home or shelter-in-place, (ii) limiting social interaction, (iii) closing non-essential businesses and (iv) postponing certain surgical and elective medical procedures in order to prioritize/conserve available health care resources. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, these factors negatively impacted, most notably, the revenues of the Company's Vision Care and Surgical businesses in Asia where the COVID-19 pandemic originated. Beginning in March 2020, and throughout most of the second quarter of 2020, the Company experienced steeper declines in these revenues and the revenues of other businesses as social restrictions expanded worldwide, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. Social restrictions negatively impacted the Company's revenues for contact lenses, intraocular lenses, medical devices, surgical systems and certain pre- and post-operative eye-medications of its Ophtho Rx business, medical aesthetics and therapeutic products of its Global Solta business, and certain branded pharmaceutical products of its Salix, Ortho Dermatologics and Dentistry businesses, as the offices of many health care providers were closed and certain surgeries and elective medical procedures were deferred.

The Company’s 2020 revenues were most negatively impacted during its second quarter by the social restrictions and other precautionary measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as governments began lifting social restrictions, allowing offices of certain health care providers to reopen and certain surgeries and elective medical procedures to proceed, the negative trend in the revenues of certain businesses began to level off and stabilize prior to the third quarter of 2020. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,027 million and $2,012 million, respectively. This increase of $15 million in revenue represents a continuously improving trend over the decreases in year-over-year revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 of 23%, 3% and less than 1%, respectively. Presuming there continues to be increased availability of effective vaccines and any further resurgence of the COVID-19 virus and variant strains thereof do not have a material adverse impact on efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus, the Company anticipates an ongoing, gradual global recovery from the macroeconomic and health care impacts of the pandemic that occurred during the first half of 2020 and anticipates that its revenues will likely return to pre-pandemic levels in 2021. However, the rates of recovery for each business will vary by geography and will be dependent upon, among other things, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines for the COVID-19 virus, government responses, rates of economic recovery, precautionary measures taken by patients and customers, the rate at which remaining social restrictions are lifted and once lifted, the presumption that social restrictions will not be materially reenacted in the event of a resurgence of the virus and other actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the interim periods of 2020, after giving consideration to the nature and timing of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's forecasted cash flows, with the exception of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit, no events occurred, or circumstances changed that would indicate that the fair value of any other reporting unit might be below its carrying value and therefore, no impairments were recorded.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 the operating results for the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit were less than forecasted primarily due to certain products experiencing longer launch cycles than originally anticipated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company revised its long-term forecasts as of March 31, 2020 and as of June 30, 2020 for these matters. Management believed that these events were indicators that there was less headroom as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 as compared to the headroom calculated on the date Ortho Dermatologics goodwill was previously tested for impairment. Therefore, a quantitative fair value test for impairment to the goodwill of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit was performed at March 31, 2020 and at June 30, 2020. Based on the quantitative fair value tests, the fair value of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit continued to be greater than its carrying value and as a result there was no impairment to the goodwill of the reporting unit at March 31, 2020 and at June 30, 2020.

The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2020 by first assessing qualitative factors. Based on its qualitative assessment as of October 1, 2020, management believed that, with the exception of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit, it was more likely than not that the carrying amounts of its reporting units were less than their respective fair values and therefore concluded a quantitative fair value test for those reporting units was not required.

The Company performed a quantitative fair value test for the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit as of October 1, 2020, utilizing a long-term growth rate of 2.0% and a range of discount rates between 9.50% and 9.75%, in estimation of the fair value of this reporting unit. Based on the quantitative fair value test, the fair value of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit was approximately 10% greater than its carrying value and as a result there was no impairment to the goodwill of the reporting unit.

Commencing in 2021, the Company began operating in the following reportable segments: (i) Bausch + Lomb, (ii) Salix, (iii) International Rx, (iv) Ortho Dermatologics and (v) Diversified Products. The Bausch + Lomb segment consists of the: (i) U.S. Bausch + Lomb and (ii) International Bausch + Lomb reporting units. The Salix segment consists of the Salix reporting unit. The International Rx segment consists of the International Rx reporting unit. The Ortho Dermatologics segment consists of the: (i) Ortho Dermatologics and (ii) Global Solta reporting units. The Diversified Products segment consists of the: (i) Neurology and Other, (ii) Generics and (iii) Dentistry reporting units. This realignment in segment structure resulted in a change in the Company's former International reporting unit, which is now divided between the International Bausch + Lomb reporting unit and International Rx reporting unit. In addition, as part of this realignment of segment structure, certain products historically included in the Generics reporting unit are now included in the U.S. Bausch + Lomb reporting unit. See Note 19, "SEGMENT INFORMATION" for additional information.

As a result of this realignment, goodwill was reassigned to each of the aforementioned reporting units using a relative fair value approach. Goodwill previously reported in the former International reporting unit was reassigned to the International Bausch + Lomb and International Rx reporting units, and a portion of goodwill previously reported in the former Generics reporting unit was reassigned to the U.S. Bausch + Lomb reporting unit.

Immediately prior to the change in reporting units, the Company performed a qualitative fair value assessment for its former: (i) International and (ii) Generics reporting units. Based on the qualitative fair value assessment performed, Management believed that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of its former: (i) International and (ii) Generics reporting units were less than their respective fair values and therefore, concluded a quantitative assessment was not required.

Immediately following the change in reporting units, as a result of the change in composition of the net assets for its current: (i) International Bausch + Lomb, (ii) International Rx and (iii) Generics reporting units, the Company performed a quantitative fair value test. The quantitative fair value test utilized a range of long-term growth rates of 1.0% to 3.0% and a range of discount rates between 11.0% and 12.25%, in estimation of the fair value of the reporting units. After completing the testing, the fair value of each of these reporting units exceeded its carrying value by more than 40%, and, therefore, there was no impairment to goodwill. In addition, as the U.S. Bausch + Lomb reporting unit had a change in composition of its net assets related to certain products historically included in the Generics reporting unit now being included in the U.S. Bausch + Lomb reporting unit, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of this reporting unit. Based on the qualitative fair value assessment performed, Management believed that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of its current U.S. Bausch + Lomb reporting unit was less than its fair value and therefore, concluded a quantitative assessment was not required.

The Company's latest forecasts of cash flows gives consideration to the nature and timing of the expected revenue losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic as disclosed above. The changes in the amounts and timing of these revenues as presented in the latest forecasts include a range of potential outcomes and, with the exception of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit as discussed below, are not substantial enough to materially adversely affect the recoverability of any of the associated reporting units’ assets and are not material enough to indicate that the fair values of those reporting units are more likely than not below their respective carrying values.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, it became apparent that recent Ortho Dermatologics product launches were not going to achieve their forecasted trajectories that were expected once the offices of health care professionals could reopen as social restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic began to ease in the U.S. In addition, insurance coverage pressures within the U.S. continued to persist limiting patient access to topical acne and psoriasis products. In light of these developments, during the first quarter of 2021 the Company began taking steps to: (i) redirect its R&D spend to eliminate projects it has identified as high cost and high risk, (ii) redirect a portion of its marketing and product development outside the U.S. to geographies where there is better patient access and (iii) reduce its cost structure to be more competitive. As result, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company revised its long-term forecasts for the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit. Management believes that these events are indicators that there is less headroom as of March 31, 2021 as compared to the headroom calculated on the date goodwill was last tested for impairment (October 1, 2020).

Therefore, a quantitative fair value test for the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit was performed. The quantitative fair value test utilized the Company's most recent cash flow projections as revised in the first quarter of 2021 to reflect the business changes previously discussed, including a range of potential outcomes, along with a long-term growth rate of 1.0% and a range of discount rates between 9.0% and 10.0%. Based on the quantitative fair value test, the carrying value of the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit exceeded its fair value at March 31, 2021, and the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $469 million.

The Company continues to monitor the market conditions impacting the Ortho Dermatologics reporting unit including: (i) the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations, (ii) the impact of the loss of exclusivity of certain products, (iii) the impact of longer launch cycles for new products, (iv) progress of its product pipeline and (v) ongoing pricing pressures, which could negatively impact the reporting units' results over the long term.
