FORM 10-Q

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

Introductory Note

        On September 28, 2010, Biovail Corporation completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International through a wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail Corporation (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail Corporation was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc."

        Except where the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q") to the "Company", "we", "us", "our" or similar words or phrases are to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, taken together, after giving effect to completion of the Merger; references to "Biovail" are to Biovail Corporation prior to the completion of the Merger and "Valeant" are to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.

        All dollar amounts in this report are expressed in United States ("U.S.") dollars.

Forward-Looking Statements

        Caution regarding forward-looking information and statements and "Safe Harbor" statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

        To the extent any statements made in this Form 10-Q contain information that is not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and may be forward-looking information within the meaning defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements").

        These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: the expected benefits of the Merger and other acquisitions, such as cost savings, operating synergies and growth potential of the Company; business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products; the impact of healthcare reform; exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes and interest rate changes; the outcome of contingencies, such as certain litigation and regulatory proceedings; general market conditions; and our expectations regarding our financial performance, including revenues, expenses, gross margins, liquidity and income taxes.

        Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "continue", "will", "may", "could", "would", "target", "potential" and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although we have indicated above certain of these statements set out herein, all of the statements in this Form 10-Q that contain forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, factors and assumptions regarding the items outlined above. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following:

    our ability to compete against companies that are larger and have greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as other competitive factors, such as technological advances achieved, patents obtained and new products introduced by our competitors;

    factors relating to the integration of Valeant and Biovail, as well as other companies, businesses and products acquired by the Company, including the time and resources required to integrate such companies, businesses

ii


      and products, the difficulties associated with such integrations, and the achievement of the anticipated benefits from such integrations;

    the challenges and difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex, combined business;

    the challenges and difficulties associated with managing the rapid growth of our Company and business;

    our eligibility for benefits under tax treaties and the continued availability of low effective tax rates for the business profits of our significant operating subsidiary in Barbados, as well as the low tax rate for the profits of our PharmaSwiss S.A. subsidiary based in Switzerland;

    the introduction of products that compete against our products that do not have patent or data exclusivity rights, which products represent a significant portion of our revenues;

    our ability to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees;

    our future cash flow, our ability to service and repay our existing debt and our ability to raise additional funds, if needed, in light of our current and projected levels of operations, acquisition activity and general economic conditions;

    our ability to identify, acquire and integrate acquisition targets and to secure and maintain third-party research, development, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements;

    our ability to close transactions on a timely basis or at all;  

    the risks associated with the international scope of our operations;  

    the impacts of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the U.S. and other legislative and regulatory reforms in the countries in which we operate;

    the uncertainties associated with the acquisition and launch of new products, including, but not limited to, the acceptance and demand for new pharmaceutical products, and the impact of competitive products and pricing;

    the difficulty in predicting the expense, timing and outcome within our legal and regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Canadian Therapeutic Products Directorate and European and Australian regulatory approvals, legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements thereof, the protection afforded by our patents and other intellectual and proprietary property, successful challenges to our generic products and infringement or alleged infringement of the intellectual property of others;

    the success of preclinical and clinical trials for our drug development pipeline or delays in clinical trials that adversely impact the timely commercialization of our pipeline products;

    the results of continuing safety and efficacy studies by industry and government agencies;

    the risk that our products could cause, or be alleged to cause, personal injury, leading to withdrawals of products from the market;

    our ability to obtain components, raw materials or other products supplied by third parties;

    the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and regulatory proceedings;  

    economic factors over which the Company has no control, including changes in inflation, interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the potential effect of such factors on revenues, expenses and resulting margins;

    the disruption of delivery of our products and the routine flow of manufactured goods across the U.S. border; and  

    other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA"), as well as our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with the foregoing.

iii


        Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements may be found under Item 1A. of Part II of this Form 10-Q and under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and in the Company's other filings with the SEC and CSA. We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    On September 28, 2010 (the "Merger Date"), Biovail Corporation ("Biovail") completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ("Valeant") through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." (the "Company"). The Company is a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products primarily in the areas of neurology, dermatology and branded generics.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (the "unaudited consolidated financial statements") have been prepared by the Company in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the "2010 Form 10-K"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since December 31, 2010, except as described below under "Adoption of New Accounting Standards". The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted by the Company following the Merger. These reclassifications include the following:

    costs incurred by the Company's contract research division in connection with contract research services provided to external customers, prior to its disposal in July 2010, have been reclassified from research and development expenses to cost of alliance and service revenues; and

    amounts expensed as acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") have been reclassified from research and development expenses to a separate line item.

    As described in note 3, the Merger was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Valeant from the Merger Date.

    Use of Estimates

    In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

    On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company's results of operations and financial position could be materially impacted.

    Adoption of New Accounting Standards

    Effective January 1, 2011, the Company has adopted on a prospective basis the provisions of the following new accounting standards:

    Guidance on the recognition and classification of fees imposed on pharmaceutical manufacturers under the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

    Guidance recognizing the milestone method of revenue recognition as a valid application of the proportional performance model when applied to research and development arrangements.

    Amendments to the recognition and measurement guidance for multiple-element revenue arrangements.

    The adoption of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

    The Company will adopt the provisions of the following new accounting standards effective January 1, 2012:

    Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

    Guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the components of other comprehensive income or the calculation of earnings per share. As the guidance relates only to the presentation of other comprehensive income, the adoption of this accounting standard will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3.     BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

    Biovail Merger With Valeant

    Description of the Transaction

    On September 28, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail acquired all of the outstanding equity of Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. The fair value of the consideration transferred as of the Merger Date to effect the acquisition of Valeant amounted to $3.9 billion in the aggregate. As a result of the Merger, Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

3.     BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)

    Basis of Presentation

    The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the share consideration transferred be measured at the acquisition date based on the then-current market price and that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related transaction costs and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of the acquisition accounting, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

    Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

    The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger Date, as well as measurement period adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in 2010. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's previously reported results of operations or financial position in any period subsequent to the Merger Date and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements.

The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the Merger Date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the Merger Date.

    PharmaSwiss

    Description of the Transaction

    On March 10, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), a privately-owned branded generics and over-the-counter ("OTC") pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. The total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million (€353.1 million) and the rights to contingent payments of up to $41.7 million (€30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss are achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date.

    In connection with the transaction, in February 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy €130.0 million, which were settled on March 9, 2011. The Company recorded a $5.1 million gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million recognized on the remaining €220.0 million bought to finance the transaction. The net foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million was recognized in earnings in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.

    PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product

    Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

    The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following recognized amounts are provisional and subject to change:

    amounts and useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, pending the finalization of valuation efforts;

    amounts for income tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction, and the filing of PharmaSwiss's pre-acquisition tax returns; and

    amount of goodwill pending the completion of the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

    The Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in retrospective adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. These changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the provisional values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of PharmaSwiss with those of the Company;

the value of the going-concern element of PharmaSwiss's existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, PharmaSwiss's assembled workforce).

    The provisional amount of goodwill has been allocated to the Company's Branded Generics — Europe business segment as indicated in note 10.

    Acquisition-Related Costs

    As of June 30, 2011, the Company had incurred $1.4 million of transaction costs directly related to the PharmaSwiss acquisition, which includes expenditures for advisory, legal, valuation, accounting and other similar services. These costs have been expensed as acquisition-related costs.

    Revenue and Earnings of PharmaSwiss

    The revenues of PharmaSwiss for the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2011 were $81.6 million and earnings were $10.8 million, excluding the effects of the acquisition accounting adjustments.

    Elidel®/Xerese™

    On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL ("Meda") to acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel® Cream and Xerese™ Cream in the U.S., Canada

    and Mexico. In addition, the Company and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect of Elidel® and Xerese™ products. The Company made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million, and the Company will pay a series of potential milestones of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, the Company will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese™ and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® in the first quarter of 2011 (as described in note 4).

    The Elidel®/Xerese™ transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date. The total fair value of the consideration transferred has been provisionally assigned (pending the finalization of a definitive valuation) to product brands intangible assets ($406.4 million), acquired IPR&D assets ($33.5 million) and a net deferred income tax liability ($(2.2) million). The product brands intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately eight years. The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of a Xerese® life-cycle product. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had incurred $0.6 million of transaction costs directly related to the license agreement, which have been expensed as acquisition-related costs. In the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2011, the revenue and earnings from the sale of Elidel® and Xerese™ products under the license agreement were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma information does not include the license agreement to acquire the rights to Elidel® and Xerese™, as the impact is immaterial to these pro forma results and it was impracticable to obtain the necessary historical information as discrete financial statements for these product lines were not prepared.

    information does not reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with Valeant and PharmaSwiss.

    The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the PharmaSwiss acquisition and the Merger been completed on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2009, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to project the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited pro forma information reflects primarily adjustments consistent with the unaudited pro forma information related to the Merger as reported in the 2010 Form 10-K and the following unaudited pro forma adjustments related to PharmaSwiss:

    additional amortization expense related to the provisional fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired; and

    the exclusion from pro forma earnings in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 of the acquisition accounting adjustments on PharmaSwiss's inventory that was sold subsequent to the acquisition date of $15.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively, and the exclusion of acquisition-related costs of $1.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, and the inclusion of those amounts in pro forma earnings for the corresponding periods of 2010.

    In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

    Other

    In the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company acquired Ganehill Pty Limited ("Ganehill"), an Australian company engaged in the marketing and distribution of skin care products under the Invisible Zinc™ brand. The fair value of the total cash and contingent consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Ganehill was $19.4 million, which was allocated primarily to product brands intangible assets ($12.7 million) and goodwill ($5.4 million). In addition, the Company acquired certain other businesses, including the Canadian rights to ACZONE®, for $6.4 million in the aggregate, which was recorded to identifiable intangible assets. The Company does not consider these acquisitions to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to its consolidated results of operations and is therefore not presenting actual or pro forma financial information.

4.     ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION

    Zovirax®

    On February 22, 2011 and March 25, 2011, the Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"). Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, the Company paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. The Company had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the closing of the U.S. transaction. The Company has entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

4.     ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION (Continued)

    This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the purchase price (including costs of acquisition) was allocated to the product brand intangible asset, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of 11 years. In addition, the Company reclassified the $91.4 million unamortized carrying amount of the original exclusive distribution agreement from product rights to the product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over the same 11-year estimated useful life.

    Cloderm®

    On March 31, 2011, the Company out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million upfront payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. The Cloderm® product rights intangible asset was recorded at a fair value of $31.8 million as of the Merger Date, and had a remaining unamortized carrying value of $30.7 million at March 31, 2011. Cloderm® was considered a non-core asset with respect to the Company's business strategy, which contemplates, on an ongoing basis, the selective purchase and sale of products and assets with a focus on core geographies and therapeutic classes. The Company, therefore, considers the out-license or sale of non-core assets to be part of its ongoing major and central operations. Accordingly, proceeds on the out-license or sale of non-core assets are recognized as alliance revenue, with the associated costs, including the carrying amount of related intangible assets, recorded as cost of alliance revenue. In connection with the sale of Cloderm®, the Company recognized the upfront payment as alliance revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, and expensed the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets as cost of alliance revenue. The Company will recognize the future royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

    Other

    On February 9, 2011, the Company acquired the Canadian rights to Cholestagel® from Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") for a $2.0 million upfront payment and potential future milestone payments. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use and, accordingly, the upfront payment was charged to acquired IPR&D expense as of the acquisition date. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company made a first milestone payment of $2.0 million to Genzyme, which was charged to acquired IPR&D expense in the period.

5.     COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

    In October 2008, Valeant closed the License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") to develop ezogabine/retigabine in collaboration with GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK. In consideration, the Company will receive future cash flows from worldwide sales of ezogabine/retigabine products. In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. In June 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved the New Drug Application ("NDA") for Potiga™ (ezogabine) tablets as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older; however, the FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act prior to the marketing or launch of Potiga™. As of June 30, 2011, final classification was still under review by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Potiga™ will not be available for sale until this process is complete.

5.     COLLABORATION AGREEMENT (Continued)

    In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in May 2011), GSK paid the Company a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. Upon the first sale of Potiga™ in the U.S., GSK will pay the Company a $45.0 million milestone payment, and the Company will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga™. As substantive uncertainty existed at the inception of the Collaboration Agreement as to whether the milestones would be achieved because of the uncertainty involved with obtaining regulatory approval, no amounts were previously recognized for these potential milestone payments. The milestone payments (1) relate solely to past performance of the Company, (2) are reasonable relative to the other deliverables and payment terms within the Collaboration Agreement, and (3) are commensurate with the Company's efforts in collaboration with GSK to achieve the milestone events and the increase in value of ezogabine/retigabine. Accordingly, the milestones are considered substantive, and the milestone payments are being recognized by the Company as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™.

    The Company's rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an asset purchase agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG ("Meda Pharma") and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the "Meda Pharma Agreement"). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, the Company is required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any royalty payments to Meda Pharma will be shared by the Company and GSK. In the rest of the world, the Company will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma from the royalty payments it receives from GSK. In connection with the approval of the NDA for Potiga™, the Company made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Meda Pharma in June 2011. As this potential milestone payment had been included in the estimated net future cash flows used to determine the fair value of the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets as of the Merger Date, the payment of this milestone to Meda Pharma was recorded as an addition to the value of those assets. Amortization of the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets will commence with the launch of Potiga™ in the U.S.

6.     MERGER-RELATED RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION COSTS

    In connection with the Merger, the Company initiated measures to integrate the operations of Biovail and Valeant, capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. Costs associated with these initiatives include: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments) payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been, or will be, terminated as a result of the Merger; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer of product-development programs that did not align with the Company's research and development model to other parties; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; asset impairment charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs.

    Facility closure costs incurred in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 included a $9.0 million charge for the remaining operating lease obligation (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained) related to the Company's Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility, which was vacated as of June 30, 2011, and a charge of $1.3 million related to a lease termination payment on the Company's Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility. The Company is transitioning a number of its corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility has been reoccupied, resulting in a $1.1 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

    In addition to costs identified with the Company's restructuring initiatives, the Company incurred $7.1 million of integration-related costs in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, of which $3.5 million had been paid as of June 30, 2011. These costs were primarily related to the alignment of manufacturing operations in Brazil and the integration of PharmaSwiss into the Company's European operations.

7.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

    Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

    Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical securities in active markets.

    Level 2 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical securities in markets that are not active.

    Level 3 — Discounted cash flow method (income approach) using significant inputs not observable in the market.

    The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs include (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based; and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

    In the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, cost of goods sold included $16.3 million and $46.2 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition accounting adjustments on the acquired Valeant and PharmaSwiss inventories that were sold in those respective periods. As of June 30, 2011, substantially all of the acquisition accounting adjustments related to the Valeant and PharmaSwiss inventories had been recognized in cost of goods sold.

    The decline in the allowance for obsolescence in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 primarily reflected the write off of obsolete inventory against the allowance.

    The increase in intangible assets primarily reflects the acquisition of the PharmaSwiss, Elidel® and Xerese™ identifiable intangible assets (as described in note 3) and the rights to Zovirax® (as described in note 4), partially offset by the impact of the measurement period adjustments in connection with the Merger (as described in note 3) and the carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets expensed on the out-license of the product rights (as described in note 4).

    Revolving Credit Facility

    On June 29, 2011, Valeant entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), consisting of a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the one-and-one-half-year anniversary of the closing date and will not amortize. As of June 30, 2011, Valeant had borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

    Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Valeant's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, and (3) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period adjusted for certain additional costs plus 1%, or (b) a LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, plus an applicable margin in each case of (a) or (b). The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be 2.0% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.0% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2011, the effective rate of interest on the Company's borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.22%.

    Under certain circumstances, Valeant will be required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, on a pro rata basis, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Valeant will be permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBO rate loans.

    Valeant's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and the same guarantors under the Company's senior notes indentures. Valeant's obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Valeant and the guarantors, including 100% of the capital stock of Valeant and each domestic subsidiary of Valeant, 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of Valeant that is directly owned by Valeant or a guarantor, and 100% of the capital stock of Valeant and each other subsidiary of the Company (other than Valeant's subsidiaries) that is owned by a guarantor, in each case subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Revolving Credit Facility.

11.   LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

    The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict Valeant's ability and the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by subsidiaries; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of the subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into new lines of business; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness, organizational documents and certain other material agreements.

    The Credit Agreement requires that Valeant maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 4.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, Valeant may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, Valeant was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.

    Term Loan A Facility

    On September 27, 2010, Valeant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lending institutions, consisting of (1) a four-and-one-half-year non-amortizing $125.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a five-year amortizing $1.0 billion term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), and (3) a six-year amortizing $1.625 billion term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"). Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was prepaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Old Credit Agreement, using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering (as described below) to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and cancel the undrawn revolving credit facility.

    2016 Notes and 2022 Notes

    On March 8, 2011, Valeant issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") in a private placement. The 2016 Notes will mature on July 15, 2016 and the 2022 Notes will mature on July 15, 2022. The 2016 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6.50% per year and the 2022 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2011. The 2016 Notes were issued at par and the 2022 Notes were issued at 98.125% of par for an effective annual yield of 7.50%. The 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes.

    Net proceeds of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering of $975.0 million were used to prepay the amount outstanding under Valeant's Term Loan A Facility, as described above. In addition, net proceeds of $274.8 million were used to fund the repurchase of common shares of the Company from ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. ("ValueAct") in March 2011 (as described in note 12).

11.   LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

    Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2013, and the 2022 Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2016, in each case, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium. On or after July 15, 2013, Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Notes and, on or after July 15, 2016, Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes, in each case at the redemption prices applicable to the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, as set forth in the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, as applicable. In addition, prior to July 15, 2013 for the 2016 Notes and July 15, 2014 for the 2022 Notes, Valeant may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of either the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, at redemption prices of 106.500% and 107.250%, respectively, of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, in each case with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

    If Valeant or the Company experiences a change in control, Valeant may be required to repurchase the 2016 Notes or 2022 Notes, as applicable, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date of the 2016 Notes or the 2022 Notes, as applicable.

    The 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional debt; make certain investments and other restricted payments; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; repurchase capital stock, repurchase subordinated debt and make certain investments; and transfer and sell assets. If an event of default, as specified in the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture, shall occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of a specified percentage of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes may accelerate the maturity of all the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes.

    2021 Notes

    On February 8, 2011, Valeant issued at par $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") in a private placement. Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.75% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2011. The 2021 Notes will mature on August 15, 2021. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the 2021 Notes.

    The net proceeds of the 2021 Notes offering were used principally to finance the acquisitions of PharmaSwiss (as described in note 3) and Zovirax® (as described in note 4).

    Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a "make-whole" premium. On or after February 15, 2016, Valeant may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at the redemption prices applicable to the 2021 Notes as set forth in the 2021 Notes indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of the 2021 Notes. In addition, prior to February 15, 2014, Valeant may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021

    Notes at a redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.

    If Valeant or the Company experiences a change in control, Valeant may be required to repurchase the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date of the 2021 Notes.

    The 2021 Notes indenture contains covenants substantially consistent with those contained in the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes indenture (as described above).

    4.0% Convertible Notes

    On April 20, 2011, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of Valeant's 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (the "4.0% Convertible Notes"), pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes would be redeemed on May 20, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The 4.0% Convertible Notes called for redemption could be converted at the election of the holders at any time before the close of business on May 19, 2011. Consequently, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share.

    Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was $221.4 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $226.0 million. The difference of $4.6 million between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The difference of $666.0 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $226.0 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of $892.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $226.0 million and $440.0 million, respectively.

    With respect to Valeant's call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which mature on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options are to be settled in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, 11,479,365 common shares were received on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled.

12.   SECURITIES REPURCHASE PROGRAM

    On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a securities repurchase program (the "securities repurchase program"), pursuant to which the Company may make purchases of its common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in the Company's financing agreements and applicable law.

    In the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% senior convertible notes due 2014 (the "5.375% Convertible Notes") for an aggregate purchase price of $344.0 million. The carrying amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes

    purchased was $93.3 million (net of $3.1 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the estimated fair value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes exclusive of the conversion feature was $111.6 million. The difference of $18.3 million between the net carrying amount and the estimated fair value was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt. The difference of $232.4 million between the estimated fair value of $111.6 million and the purchase price of $344.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $17.6 million and $214.8 million, respectively. The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt discount amounted to $5.0 million, and is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as payment of accreted interest in cash flows from operating activities. The remaining portion of the payment of $339.0 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows as an outflow from financing activities, which includes a payment to the note holders of a $15.2 million premium above the carrying value.

    In March 2011, the Company repurchased 7,366,419 of its common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $274.8 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had recorded an estimated $24.2 million receivable from ValueAct in relation to withholding taxes on the March 2011 repurchase. In May 2011, a subsidiary of the Company purchased 4,498,180 of the Company's common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $224.8 million. In June 2011, the Company purchased these common shares from its subsidiary and the common shares were subsequently cancelled. G. Mason Morfit is a partner and a member of the Management Committee of ValueAct Capital. Mr. Morfit joined the Company's board of directors on September 28, 2010, effective with the Merger, and prior thereto served as a member of Valeant's board of directors since 2007. ValueAct Capital is the general partner and the manager of ValueAct.

    In connection with the securities repurchase program, through June 30, 2011, the Company had repurchased a total of $235.2 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for consideration of $603.3 million and 14,169,599 of its common shares for consideration of $559.7 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased an additional $11.4 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $41.7 million.

(a)
On March 9, 2011, the Company's compensation committee of the board of directors approved an equitable adjustment to all stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company's stock option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million, of which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ($0.2 million), selling, general and administrative expenses ($8.8 million) and research and development expenses ($0.2 million). The remaining $6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the unvested options.

    The Company recognized $7.5 million and $31.6 million of tax benefits from stock options exercised in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits from stock options exercised during the corresponding periods of 2010.

13.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

    Deferred Share Units

    Prior to May 2011, non-management directors received non-cash compensation in the form of deferred share units ("DSUs"), which entitled such directors to receive a lump-sum cash payment in respect of their DSUs either following the date upon which they ceased to be a director of the Company or, with respect to DSUs granted after the Merger Date as part of the annual retainer, one year after such date. Effective May 16, 2011 (the "Modification Date"), the board of directors of the Company modified the existing DSUs held by current directors from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which changed these DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. Accordingly, as of the Modification Date, the Company reclassified the $9.3 million aggregate fair value of the 182,053 DSUs held by current directors from accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In the period from January 1, 2011 to the Modification Date, the Company recorded $3.6 million of compensation expense related to the change in the fair value of the DSUs held by current directors. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional compensation expense will be recognized after the Modification Date. The DSUs held by former directors of Biovail were not affected by the modification and will continue to be cash settled. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $3.6 million of compensation expense in restructuring and integration costs related to the change in the fair value of DSUs still held by former directors. As of June 30, 2011, there were 64,294 DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail.

    The following table summarizes DSU activity during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011:

    Effective May 16, 2011, in lieu of grants of DSUs, unless the Company determines otherwise, non-management directors will receive their annual equity compensation retainer in the form of RSUs, which will vest immediately upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company on the first anniversary of the date upon which the director ceases to be a director of the Company. In addition, a non-management director may elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainers in RSUs, which will be vested upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company when the director ceases to be a director of the Company (unless a different payment is elected in accordance with the procedures established by the Company).

15.   GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS, NET

    In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, Inc. ("Cephalon"), the Company had invested $60.0 million to acquire 1,034,908 shares of common stock of Cephalon, which represented 1.366% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cephalon as of March 14, 2011. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, the Company disposed of its entire equity investment in Cephalon for net proceeds of $81.3 million, which resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million recognized in earnings in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011.

16.   INCOME TAXES

    In the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a recovery of income taxes of $12.6 million, which comprised $16.6 million related to the expected tax benefit in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada offset with tax expense of $4.0 million related to Canadian income taxes and, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a recovery of income taxes of $16.0 million, which comprised $19.8 million related to the expected tax benefit in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada offset with tax expense of $3.8 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company's effective tax rate was primarily impacted by (i) tax benefit of current U.S. losses, (ii) the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to the settlement of various tax examinations in the U.S., and (iii) a partial increase of the valuation allowance specific to the Canadian net deferred tax assets.

    The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $187.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and $186.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company does not record a valuation allowance against its U.S. foreign tax credits as it has determined it is more likely than not the Company will realize these deferred tax assets in the future. However, the Company continues to monitor its U.S. foreign source income and losses in the future and assess the need for a valuation allowance.

    The Company is currently assessing the impact of changes in tax law for various U.S. state jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2011, the Company does not believe these enacted changes will have an impact on the measurement of the Company's ending deferred tax balances; however, the Company will continue to monitor the impact of these changes in future periods.

    As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $112.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which included $22.2 million relating to interest and penalties. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits, $73.8 million would reduce the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized. It is anticipated that up to $1.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved within the next 12 months.

    The Company's continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had accrued $20.7 million for interest and $1.5 million for penalties. The Company accrued additional interest and penalties of $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

    Valeant is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2009 tax year, as well as various state tax audits for years 2002 to 2009. The Company is currently under examination for years 2003 to 2006 and remains open to examination for years 2007 and later.

17.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were calculated as follows:

   
  Three Months Ended

Diluted earnings per share

  $ 0.17   $ 0.21   $ 0.19   $ 0.19  
                     

    In both of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, stock options to purchase approximately 178,000 common shares of the Company had exercise prices greater than the average trading price of the Company's common shares, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, compared with approximately 2,165,000 and 2,183,000 stock options in the corresponding periods of 2010.

18.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    From time to time, the Company becomes involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, which include product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, governmental and regulatory investigations, and related private litigation. There are also ordinary course employment-related issues and other types of claims in which the Company routinely becomes involved, but which individually and collectively are not material.

    Unless otherwise indicated, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from these proceedings. An adverse outcome in certain of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause the market value of its common shares to decline.

18.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

    From time to time, the Company also initiates actions or files counterclaims. The Company could be subject to counterclaims or other suits in response to actions it may initiate. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings, some of which may involve significant legal fees. The Company believes that the prosecution of these actions and counterclaims is important to preserve and protect the Company, its reputation and its assets.

    Governmental and Regulatory Inquiries

    On May 16, 2008, Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company's former subsidiary, entered into a written plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office ("USAO") for the District of Massachusetts whereby it agreed to plead guilty to violating the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute and pay a fine of $22.2 million.

    In addition, on May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the USAO whereby the USAO agreed to decline prosecution of Biovail in exchange for continuing cooperation and a civil settlement agreement and payment of a civil penalty of $2.4 million. A hearing before the U.S. District Court in Boston took place on September 14, 2009 and the plea was approved.

    In addition, as part of the overall settlement, Biovail entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA") with the Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services on September 11, 2009. The CIA requires Biovail to have a compliance program in place and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for a five-year term. The CIA also includes requirements for an independent review of these obligations. The first of such reviews was completed in January, 2011. Failure to comply with the obligations under the CIA could result in financial penalties.

    Antitrust

    On April 4, 2008, a direct purchaser plaintiff filed a class action antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Biovail, GlaxoSmithKline plc, and SmithKline Beecham Inc. (the latter two of which are referred to here as "GSK") seeking damages and alleging that Biovail and GSK took actions to improperly delay FDA approval for generic forms of Wellbutrin XL®. The direct purchaser plaintiff in the Massachusetts federal court lawsuit voluntarily dismissed its complaint on May 27, 2008, and shortly thereafter re-filed a virtually identical complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In late May and early June 2008, additional direct and indirect purchaser class actions were also filed against Biovail and GSK in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, all making similar allegations. These complaints have now been consolidated, resulting in a lead direct purchaser and a lead indirect purchaser action.

    On September 10, 2008, Biovail and GSK filed motions to dismiss both the direct and indirect purchaser actions. Those motions were heard on February 26, 2009. In the direct purchaser case, on March 13, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions, dismissing the Sherman Act Section 2 monopolization claim that had been made by the direct purchasers against Biovail. Biovail and GSK answered the remaining claims in the direct purchaser case on April 16, 2009. On March 26, 2009, before an order issued on the motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The pending motions were therefore denied as moot, and new motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' claims were filed on April 30, 2009. On July 30, 2009, the Court dismissed all indirect purchaser claims except the antitrust claims (limited as to Biovail's

    concerted actions) in California, Nevada, Tennessee and Wisconsin and the consumer protection claims of California and Florida.

    On May 13, 2010, Aetna, Inc. ("Aetna") filed a motion to intervene as an indirect purchaser. The Court denied Aetna's motion to intervene on July 21, 2010. Subsequently, the direct purchaser plaintiffs and Aetna Health of California Inc. filed a motion to substitute Aetna Health of California Inc. as the representative of the pending California claims on August 13, 2010. The Court granted this motion on September 22, 2010.

    Additionally, on September 14, 2010, the indirect purchaser plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint to add claims under Illinois's Antitrust Act and New York's Donnelly Act. The Company and GSK opposed the indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion. On December 21, 2010, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion for leave to amend, permitting indirect purchasers leave to amend their complaint to assert claims under New York's Donnelly Act but not under Illinois's Antitrust Act.

    Plaintiffs have filed motions for class certification. The Company and GSK opposed the motions. A hearing on direct purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion was heard by the Court on April 5, 2011. A hearing on indirect purchaser plaintiffs' class certification motion took place on April 29, 2011. The Court has not indicated a timetable for rulings on these motions.

    Fact discovery ended on June 30, 2011. Expert discovery is scheduled to end November 17, 2011. A summary judgment hearing is scheduled for February 22, 2012.

    The Company believes that each of these complaints lacks merit and that the Company's challenged actions complied with all applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state antitrust laws, FDA regulations, U.S. patent law and the Hatch Waxman Act.

    Intellectual Property

    On January 18, 2010, a Canadian Federal Court judge presiding over Biovail and Depomed, Inc. ("Depomed") v. Apotex Inc. ("Apotex") et al. issued a decision in a proceeding pursuant to the PMNOC Regulations in Canada to determine whether Apotex's allegations that a Depomed patent was invalid and/or not infringed was justified. This proceeding related to a Canadian application filed by Apotex to market a generic version of the 500mg formulation of Glumetza® (extended release metformin hydrochloride tablets) licensed in Canada by Depomed to Biovail Laboratories International SRL, now known as Valeant International (Barbados) SRL ("VIB"). Pursuant to the decision issued by the Court, Health Canada can authorize Apotex to market in Canada its generic version of the 500mg formulation of Glumetza®. The decision, which was amended on January 20, 2010, found under Canadian law that Apotex's allegation was justified that the Depomed Canadian patent at issue in the matter (No. 2,290,624) (the "'624 Patent") is obvious. The judge found that the evidence presented by the parties was "evenly balanced" as to obviousness. The judge found in favour of Biovail and Depomed as to all other issues related to the '624 Patent under Canadian law. Apotex was authorized by Health Canada on February 4, 2010 to market its generic version of 500 mg Glumetza® in Canada. This decision, however, did not find the patent invalid and does not preclude the filing of a subsequent patent infringement suit against Apotex. Biovail and Depomed commenced action for patent infringement against Apotex in Canadian Federal Court on February 8, 2010. Pleadings have now closed, but no further steps have been taken.

18.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

    On or about June 24, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Allegation from Mylan Pharmaceuticals ULC ("Mylan") with respect to Bupropion Hydrochloride 150 mg and 300 mg tablets, marketed in Canada by Biovail as Wellbutrin® XL. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent Nos. 2,142,320, 2,168,364 and 2,524,300. Mylan alleges that its generic form of Wellbutrin® XL does not infringe the patents and, alternatively, that the patents are invalid. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application for an order prohibiting the Minister from issuing a Notice of Compliance to Mylan was issued in the Federal Court on August 6, 2010, relating to Canadian Patent Nos. 2,524,300 and 2,168,324. Mylan has now withdrawn its allegations of invalidity. The matter is proceeding in the ordinary course. The parties have exchanged evidence. The hearing of the application, which will proceed with respect to Canadian Patent No. 2,168,324, is scheduled for March 26, 2012.

    In May 2011, Mylan filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada against the Company, VIB and Valeant Canada seeking to impeach Canadian Patent No. 2,524,300. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss this proceeding on the basis that Mylan has no standing to bring the action.

    On or about December 1, 2008, the FDA accepted an ANDA filed by VIB seeking approval to market generic formulations of the 200 mg, 300 mg and 400 mg strengths of quetiapine fumarate extended release tablets (sold under the brand name Seroquel XR by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP ("AstraZeneca")). On January 9, 2009, AstraZeneca and AstraZeneca UK Limited filed a complaint against Biovail, VIB and BTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BTA") in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,879,288 (the "'288 Patent") and 5,948,437 (the "'437 Patent") by the filing of that ANDA, thereby triggering a 30-month stay of the FDA's approval of that application. Answers and Counterclaims have been filed. A Markman hearing was held on November 22, 2010, in Trenton New Jersey. The Court's claim construction ruling was entered on November 30, 2010, and was generally favorable to the Company. The Court's ruling provides the Company with grounds for motions for summary judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of certain claims. Fact discovery and related proceedings were commenced and have now been completed by the parties. The case is presently in the expert discovery phase. On March 28, 2011, Biovail amended its ANDA application, converting the patent certification for the '437 Patent from a Paragraph IV certification to a Paragraph III certification. Biovail has informed the Court, the Plaintiff and the co-Defendants in the litigation of the change in certification. With this certification change, Biovail believes that no further case or controversy exists with respect to the patent-in-suit. On May 2, 2011, the case was dismissed by the Court.

    On or about January 5, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated January 4, 2010 from Watson Laboratories, Inc. — Florida ("Watson"), related to Watson's ANDA filing for Bupropion Hydrobromide Extended-release Tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 348 mg products. Watson asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 7,241,805, 7,569,610, 7,572,935 and 7,585,897 which are listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid or not infringed. VIB subsequently received from Watson a second Notice of Paragraph IV Certification for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,802 and 7,649,019, which were listed in the FDA's Orange Book after Watson's initial certification. Watson has alleged these patents are not infringed or invalid. VIB filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Watson on February 18, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and on February 19, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, thereby triggering a 30-month stay of the approval of Watson's ANDA. The Delaware action has been dismissed without prejudice and the litigation is proceeding in the Florida Court. VIB received a third Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson dated March 5, 2010, seeking to market its products

    prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,662,407 and 7,671,094. VIB received a fourth Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson on April 9, 2010. VIB filed a second Complaint against Watson in Florida Court on the third and fourth Notices on April 16, 2010. The two actions have been consolidated into the first-filed case before the same judge. In the course of discovery the issues have been narrowed and only five of the patents remain in the litigation. Mandatory mediation was completed unsuccessfully on December 17, 2010. The trial in this matter was held in June 2011. A schedule has been set for post-trial matters, including the submission of witness summaries and post-trial briefs in July and August 2011, and closing arguments by the parties are scheduled to be made in September 2011. A judgment in this matter is anticipated by the end of 2011 or early 2012.

    On or about January 27, 2010, VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Paddock dated January 22, 2010, relating to Paddock's ANDA filing for Bupropion Hydrobromide Extended-release Tablets, 174 mg and 522 mg, which correspond to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 522 mg products. Paddock has certified that the six patents currently listed in the FDA's Orange Book for Aplenzin®, plus an additional unlisted VIB patent relating to bupropion hydrobromide, are not infringed and/or invalid. A Complaint was filed on March 9, 2010 against Paddock in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. A parallel suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware has been dismissed without prejudice. A second suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota on April 15, 2010 following a second Paragraph IV certification received from Paddock. Both cases, which are now consolidated before the same judge, are proceeding in the ordinary course.

    On or about August 20, 2010, Biovail and VIB received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. dated August 18, 2010, related to Par's ANDA filing for Bupropion Hydrobromide Extended Release Tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which corresponds to the Company's Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg products. Par has certified that eight patents currently listed in the Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid, unenforceable and or not infringed. A Complaint was filed against Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. on September 22, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is proceeding in the ordinary course.

    General Civil Actions

    Complaints have been filed by the City of New York, the State of Alabama, the State of Mississippi, the State of Louisiana and a number of counties within the State of New York, claiming that Biovail, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, made fraudulent misstatements concerning the "average wholesale price" ("AWP") of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the plaintiffs for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies.

    The City of New York and plaintiffs for all the counties in New York (other than Erie, Oswego and Schenectady) voluntarily dismissed Biovail and certain others of the named defendants on a without prejudice basis. Similarly, the State of Mississippi voluntarily dismissed its claim against Biovail and a number of defendants on a without prejudice basis.

    In the case brought by the State of Alabama, the Company has answered the State's Amended Complaint and discovery is ongoing. On October 16, 2009, the Supreme Court of Alabama issued an opinion reversing judgments in favour of the State in the first three cases that were tried against co-defendant companies. The Alabama Supreme Court also rendered judgment in favour of those defendants, finding that the State's fraud-based theories failed as a matter of law. A trial date has not been set.

18.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

    The cases brought by the New York State counties of Oswego, Schenectady and Erie, each of which was originally brought in New York State court, were removed by defendants to Federal Court on October 11, 2006. Biovail answered the complaint in each case after the removal to Federal Court. The cases were subsequently remanded and, following the remand, the New York State Litigation Coordinating Panel granted the defendants' application to coordinate the three actions for pretrial purposes in Erie County. The Company settled these cases, which have been dismissed with prejudice. The settlement amount payable was not material.

    A Third Amending Petition for Damages and Jury Demand was filed on November 10, 2010 in Louisiana State Court by the State of Louisiana claiming that a former subsidiary of the Company, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, knowingly inflated the AWP and "wholesale acquisition cost" of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the State for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies. The State has subsequently filed additional amendments to its Petition, none of which materially affect the claims against the Company. The matter is in preliminary stages and the Company intends to defend against this action.

    On December 15, 2009, Biovail was served with a Seventh Amended Complaint under the False Claims Act in an action captioned United States of America, ex rel. Constance A. Conrad v. Actavis Mid-Atlantic, LLC, et al., United States District Court, District of Massachusetts. This case was originally filed in 2002 and maintained under seal until shortly before Biovail was served. Twenty other companies are named as defendants. In the Seventh Amended Complaint, Conrad alleges that various formulations of Rondec, a product formerly owned by Biovail, were not properly approved by the FDA and therefore not a "Covered Outpatient Drug" within the meaning of the Medicaid Rebate Statute. As such, Conrad alleges that Rondec was not eligible for reimbursement by federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid. Conrad seeks treble damages and civil penalties under the False Claims Act. A briefing schedule for motions to dismiss has been set with a hearing to take place in mid-December 2011. The Company intends to file a motion to dismiss.

    Legacy Valeant Litigation

    Valeant is the subject of a Formal Order of Investigation with respect to events and circumstances surrounding trading in its common stock, the public release of data from its first pivotal Phase III trial for taribavirin in March 2006, statements made in connection with the public release of data and matters regarding its stock option grants since January 1, 2000 and its restatement of certain historical financial statements announced in March 2008. In September 2006, Valeant's board of directors established a Special Committee to review its historical stock option practices and related accounting, and informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of these efforts. Valeant has cooperated fully and will continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.

    On August 27, 2008, Valeant was served product liability complaints related to the pharmaceutical Permax in six separate cases by plaintiffs Prentiss and Carol Harvey; Robert and Barbara Branson; Dan and Mary Ellen Leach; Eugene and Bertha Nelson; Beverly Polin; and Ira and Michael Price against Eli Lilly and Company and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International in Superior Court, Orange County, California (the "California Permax Actions"). The California Permax Actions were consolidated under the heading of Branson v. Eli Lilly and Company, et al. On May 5, 2010, Valeant reached an agreement in principle with

    plaintiffs to settle the California Permax Actions, and has recently finalized all settlement documentation and payments for those matters. Five of the six California Permax cases were dismissed on March 29, 2011, and the last case was dismissed on June 2, 2011. The portion of these settlements for which Valeant is responsible did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results. In addition to the lawsuits described above, Valeant has received, and from time to time receives, communications from third parties relating to potential claims that may be asserted with respect to Permax.

    On January 12, 2009, Valeant was served a complaint in an action captioned Eli Lilly and Company v. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Case No. 1:08-cv-1720-SEB-TAB in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division (the "Lilly Action"). In the Lilly Action, Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") brought a claim against Valeant for breach of contract and seeks a declaratory judgment arising out of a February 25, 2004 letter agreement between and among Lilly, Valeant and Amarin Corporation, plc related to cost-sharing for Permax product liability claims. On February 2, 2009, Valeant filed counterclaims against Lilly seeking a declaratory judgment and indemnification under the letter agreement. Valeant has responded to two motions for partial summary judgment brought by Lilly, and is in the process of defending the Lilly Action. Non-expert discovery closed on July 1, 2010, and expert discovery closed on September 15, 2010. On February 14, 2011, the court granted Lilly's first motion for partial summary judgment declaring that cost-sharing obligations under the contract are based exclusively upon the date on which either party first receives written notice of such claim, regardless of Valeant's dismissal or prevailing on the merits of a product liability claim, and that the costs of product liability claims to be shared by the parties include settlement costs, judgments, and the costs of defense incurred by Lilly and/or Valeant, including attorneys' fees, expert fees, and expenses. The court's order reserved ruling on whether the contract lacked consideration, government of the contract by the Uniform Commercial Code, reasonableness of non-joint representation counsel fees, and Valeant's equitable defenses. On February 15, 2011, the court denied Lilly's second motion for partial summary judgment holding that Valeant did not waive its right to recoup its own costs of defense, and is not barred from attempting to assert and set-off its defense costs. On March 23, 2011, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter and subsequently entered into a formal written agreement reflecting the settlement terms. The terms of the settlement are not material to Valeant. This matter was dismissed by the Court on June 11, 2011.

    On or around January 19, 2009, Tolmar, Inc. ("Tolmar") notified Galderma Laboratories, L.P. and Dow Pharmaceutical Sciences, Inc. ("Dow") that it had submitted an ANDA, No. 090-903, with the FDA seeking approval for the commercial manufacture, use and sale of its Metronidazole Topical Gel, 1% (the "Tolmar Product") prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,881,726 (the "'726 patent") and 7,348,317 (the "'317 patent"). The '726 and '317 patents are owned by Dow, and licensed to Galderma. The ANDA contains a Paragraph IV certification alleging that the claims of the '726 and '317 patents will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, importation, sale or offer for sale of the Tolmar Product. On March 3, 2009, Galderma Laboratories, L.P., Galderma S.A., and Dow filed a complaint against Tolmar for the patent infringement of the '726 and '317 patents, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. A Court-ordered preliminary mediation in the matter was conducted on October 13, 2010 and the parties were unable to reach any settlement. A trial date has not been assigned by the Court. This lawsuit was filed within forty-five days of Tolmar's Paragraph IV certification. As a result, The Hatch-Waxman Act provides an automatic stay on the FDA's final approval of Tolmar's ANDA for thirty months, which expired in July 2011.

19.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

    Business Segments

    Effective with the Merger, the Company operates in the following business segments, based on differences in products and services and geographical areas of operations:

    U.S. Neurology and Other consists of sales of pharmaceutical and OTC products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products the Company developed or acquired. In addition, this segment includes revenue from contract research services provided by the Company's contract research division prior to its disposal in July 2010.

    U.S. Dermatology consists of pharmaceutical and OTC product sales, and alliance and contract service revenues in the areas of dermatology and topical medication.

    Canada and Australia consists of pharmaceutical and OTC products sold in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

    Branded Generics — Europe consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

    Branded Generics — Latin America consists of branded generic pharmaceutical and OTC products sold primarily in Mexico, Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets.

    Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and acquired IPR&D charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance.

    Corporate includes the finance, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company's businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company, which are not allocated to the other business segments. In addition, share-based compensation is considered a corporate cost, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

INTRODUCTION

        The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the interim period ended June 30, 2011 (the "unaudited consolidated financial statements"). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the annual MD&A and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the "2010 Form 10-K").

        Additional information relating to the Company, including the 2010 Form 10-K, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov.

        Unless otherwise indicated herein, the discussion and analysis contained in this MD&A is as of August 5, 2011.

        All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

COMPANY PROFILE

        On September 28, 2010 (the "Merger Date"), Biovail Corporation ("Biovail") completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ("Valeant") through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company"). We are a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products primarily in the areas of neurology, dermatology and branded generics.

BIOVAIL MERGER WITH VALEANT

        On September 28, 2010, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail acquired all of the outstanding equity of Valeant in a share transaction, in which each share of Valeant common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.7809 Biovail common shares. The fair value of the consideration transferred as of the Merger Date to effect the acquisition of Valeant amounted to $3.9 billion in the aggregate. As a result of the Merger, Valeant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

        The Merger has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Biovail was both the legal and accounting acquirer in the Merger. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Valeant from the Merger Date. Acquisition-related transaction costs and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of the acquisition accounting, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

        Since the Merger, our strategy has been to focus the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes through selective acquisitions, dispositions and strategic partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies. As described below, we have completed a number of transactions in the first half of 2011 to expand our North American dermatology and European branded generic product portfolios.

    On March 10, 2011, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. ("PharmaSwiss"), a privately-owned branded generics and over-the-counter ("OTC") pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. The total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of

42


      PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million (€353.1 million) and the rights to contingent payments of up to $41.7 million (€30.0 million) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss are achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date. The total fair value of consideration transferred of $518.7 million has been provisionally assigned primarily to inventories ($70.7 million), identifiable intangible assets ($209.2 million) and goodwill ($172.2 million). PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in Greece and Israel.

    On February 22, 2011 and March 25, 2011, we acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"). Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, we paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. We had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20-year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the closing of the U.S. transaction. We have entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

    On March 31, 2011, we out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million upfront payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. In connection with the sale of Cloderm®, we recognized the upfront payment as alliance revenue in the first quarter of 2011, and expensed the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets as cost of alliance revenue. We will recognize the future royalty payments as alliance revenue as they are earned.

    On June 29, 2011, we entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL ("Meda") to acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel® Cream and Xerese™ Cream in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, we and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect of Elidel® and Xerese™ products. We made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million, and we will pay a series of potential milestones of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, we will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese™ and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date, which has been provisionally assigned primarily to product brands intangible assets ($406.4 million) and acquired IPR&D assets ($33.5 million). The acquired IPR&D assets relate to the development of a Xerese™ life-cycle product. The projected cash flows from the acquired IPR&D assets were adjusted for the probability of successful development and commercialization of the product. A risk-adjusted discount rate of 13% was used to present value the projected cash flows. Material cash inflows are expected to commence in 2014. Solely for purposes of estimating the fair value of these assets, we have estimated that we will incur costs of approximately $14.0 million to complete the project.

        In addition, we have entered into the following business transactions, which are expected to be completed prior to year-end:

    On May 23, 2011, we agreed to acquire AB Sanitas ("Sanitas"), a publicly-traded specialty pharmaceuticals company based in Kaunas, Lithuania. The major shareholders of Sanitas have agreed to sell us 87.2% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Sanitas. After the acquisition of this controlling block of shares, we plan to commence a mandatory tender offer to acquire the remaining minority interest. The total purchase price is expected to be approximately €314.0 million (approximately $455.3 million as of June 30, 2011) in cash, in addition to the assumption of approximately €50.0 million (approximately $72.5 million as of June 30, 2011) in debt. Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland,

43


      Russia and Lithuania. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, ophthalmology and hospital injectables, and a pipeline of internally developed and acquired dossiers. As of August 2, 2011, we had invested $21.1 million to acquire 1,502,432 shares of Sanitas, which represented approximately 4.8% of the outstanding shares. The purchase of the controlling interest, which is subject to certain closing conditions, including certain merger clearances and there being no material adverse change, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2011 and the mandatory tender offer is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011.

    Effective July 8, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire Dermik, a dermatological unit of Sanofi in the U.S. and Canada, as well as the worldwide (excluding France) rights to Sculptra® Aesthetic, for a total purchase price of approximately $425.0 million. The acquisition includes Dermik's available inventories and manufacturing facility located in Laval, Quebec. Dermik's total 2010 revenues including contract manufacturing revenues were approximately $240 million. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close prior to year-end.

    On July 15, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the assets of the Ortho Dermatologics division of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., for a total purchase price of approximately $345.0 million. The assets to be acquired include prescription brands RETIN-A MICRO®, ERTACZO® and RENOVA®. Total revenue for this product portfolio was approximately $150 million in 2010. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close prior to year-end.

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

        In October 2008, Valeant closed the License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") to develop ezogabine/retigabine in collaboration with GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK. In consideration, we will receive future cash flows from worldwide sales of ezogabine/retigabine products by GSK. In March 2011, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Trobalt™ (retigabine) as an adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization in adults aged 18 years and above with epilepsy. In June 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved the New Drug Application ("NDA") for Potiga™ (ezogabine) tablets as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older; however, the FDA recommended that ezogabine be scheduled as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act prior to the marketing or launch of Potiga™. As of June 30, 2011, final classification was still under review by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Potiga™ will not be available for sale until this process is complete.

        In connection with the first sale of Trobalt™ by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in early May 2011), GSK paid us a $40.0 million milestone payment and will pay up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. Upon the first sale of Potiga™ in the U.S. (which is anticipated to occur no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2011), GSK will pay us a $45.0 million milestone payment, and we will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga™. We are recognizing the milestone payments as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement. Amortization of the ezogabine/retigabine IPR&D assets will commence with the launch of Potiga™ in the U.S. In addition, we anticipate an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second half of 2011, in connection with pre-launch activities associated with Potiga™.

        We are also proceeding with the development of a modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine and will share development expenses with GSK.

MERGER-RELATED COST-RATIONALIZATION AND INTEGRATION INITIATIVES

        We believe the complementary nature of the Biovail and Valeant businesses presents an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies and cost savings. The Merger has provided, and should continue to provide, opportunities to realize cost savings from, among other things, reductions in research and development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing. In total, we have identified approximately

44



$350 million of annual cost synergies that we expect to realize by the end of 2012, over $300 million of which is expected to be realized in 2011. Approximately $82.0 million and $158.0 million of cost synergies were realized in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively. This amount does not include potential revenue synergies or the potential benefits of expanding the Biovail corporate structure to Valeant's operations. Further, we currently expect our combined cash tax rate to be less than 10% for 2011.

        We estimate that we will incur costs of up to $180 million (of which the non-cash component, including share-based compensation, is expected to be approximately $55 million) in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives. These costs include: employee termination costs (including related share-based payments) payable to approximately 500 employees of Biovail and Valeant who have been, or will be, terminated as a result of the Merger; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer of product-development programs that did not align with the Company's research and development model to other parties; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; asset impairment charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. The following table summarizes the major components of costs incurred in connection with these initiatives and a reconciliation of the liability balance:

        Facility closure costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011 included a $9.0 million charge for the remaining operating lease obligation (net of estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained) related to the Company's Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility, which was vacated as of June 30, 2011, and a charge of $1.3 million related to a lease termination payment on the Company's Aliso Viejo, California corporate office facility. We are transitioning a number of our corporate office functions to Bridgewater, New Jersey. As a result, a portion of the previously vacated space in the Bridgewater facility has been reoccupied, resulting in a $1.1 million reversal of a previously recognized restructuring accrual related to that space.

        In addition to costs identified with our restructuring initiatives, we incurred $7.1 million of integration-related costs in the second quarter of 2011, of which $3.5 million had been paid as of June 30, 2011. These costs were primarily related to the alignment of manufacturing operations in Brazil and the integration of PharmaSwiss into our European operations.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        As described above under "Biovail Merger with Valeant", our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows reflect Biovail's stand-alone operations as they existed prior to the completion of the Merger. The results of Valeant's business have been included in our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows only for the periods subsequent to the completion of the Merger. Therefore, our financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2010 do not reflect Valeant's operations.

Financial Performance

Changes in Revenues

        Total revenues increased $370.6 million, or 155%, to $609.4 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $716.0 million, or 156%, to $1,174.4 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $458.4 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to:

    incremental revenues from Valeant products and services of $286.3 million and $567.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively;

    the inclusion of PharmaSwiss revenues from the acquisition date of $65.4 million and $81.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively;

    alliance revenue of $40.0 million recognized in the second quarter of 2011, related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™; and

    alliance revenue of $36.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 on the out-license of the Cloderm® product rights in March 2011.

Changes in Earnings

        Net income increased $22.4 million, or 66%, to $56.4 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.17) in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $34.0 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.21) in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $32.0 million, or 104%, to $62.8 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.19) in the first

46



half of 2011, compared with $30.8 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.19) in the first half of 2010, reflecting the following factors:

    an increased contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization of intangible assets) from product sales of $192.7 million and $370.8 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, mainly related to the addition of Valeant and PharmaSwiss product sales (net of incremental charges in those respective periods of $16.3 million and $46.2 million, in the aggregate, to cost of goods sold from the sale of acquired inventories that were written up to fair value), as well as higher volumes and pricing for Xenazine® products and a lower supply price for Zovirax® inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. rights;

    a $21.3 million net realized gain on the disposal of our equity investment in Cephalon, Inc. ("Cephalon"), which was realized in the second quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net); and

    decreases of $8.2 million and $57.2 million in acquired IPR&D expense in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, as described below under "Results of Operations — Operating Expenses — Acquired IPR&D".

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    the inclusion of Valeant operating costs in the second quarter and first half of 2011, net of realized synergies from the Merger;

    increases of $81.6 million and $160.4 million in amortization expense in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, primarily related to the identifiable intangible assets of Valeant and PharmaSwiss;

    increases of $73.1 million and $132.0 million in interest expense in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, reflecting legacy Valeant debt assumed as of the Merger Date, and the post-Merger issuances of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    the inclusion of $27.6 million and $45.2 million of primarily Merger-related restructuring charges and other integration costs in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively;

    increases in non-restructuring-related share-based compensation of $23.7 million and $51.8 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, including approximately $16.1 million and $30.2 million, in those respective periods, related to the amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into Company awards as of the Merger Date, and $9.2 million related to an equitable adjustment to certain vested stock options awards outstanding as of March 9, 2011, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared and paid in the fourth quarter of 2010; and

    charges of $14.7 million and $23.0 million on the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, mainly in connection with the repurchase of a portion of our 5.375% senior convertible notes due 2014 (the "5.375% Convertible Notes"), as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program", and the share settlement of the 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 of Valeant (the "4.0% Convertible Notes"), as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)".

Changes in Financial Condition

        As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $238.9 million and long-term debt, including the current portion, of $4,546.8 million. In the first quarter of 2011, we issued $2,150.0 million aggregate principal

47



amount of senior notes, and used a portion of the net proceeds to prepay the $975.0 million outstanding under our senior secured term loan A facility (the "Term Loan A Facility"), as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)". In addition, operating cash flows of $226.7 million and $313.0 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, were a significant source of liquidity. In the second quarter of 2011, we also borrowed $100.0 million under our new one-and-one-half-year, non-amortizing $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that we entered into in June 2011.

        In the first half of 2011, we paid $871.2 million, in the aggregate, in connection with the purchases of businesses and intangible assets, mainly in respect of the PharmaSwiss, Zovirax® and Elidel®/Xerese™ acquisitions. In addition, we purchased 11,864,599 of our common shares from ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. ("ValueAct") for an aggregate purchase price $499.6 million, and we repurchased $109.0 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for total consideration of $344.0 million. In May 2011, we issued 17,782,764 of our common shares in connection with the settlement of all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes.

Cash Dividends

        No dividends were declared or paid in the first half of 2011. While our board of directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility include restrictions on the payment of dividends. Under our former dividend policy, we declared cash dividends per share of $0.095 and $0.185 in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Segments

        Effective with the Merger, we operate in the following business segments, based on differences in products and services and geographical areas of operations:

    U.S. Neurology and Other consists of sales of pharmaceutical and OTC products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired. In addition, this segment includes revenue from contract research services provided by the Company's contract research division prior to its disposal in July 2010.

    U.S. Dermatology consists of pharmaceutical and OTC product sales, and alliance and contract service revenues in the areas of dermatology and topical medication.

    Canada and Australia consists of pharmaceutical and OTC products sold in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

    Branded Generics — Europe consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products sold primarily in Poland, Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

    Branded Generics — Latin America consists of branded generic pharmaceutical and OTC products sold primarily in Mexico, Brazil and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets.

NM — Not meaningful

(a)
Revenues by segment in the second quarter of 2011 reflect the addition of revenues from Valeant products and services as follows: U.S. Neurology and Other — $54.4 million; U.S. Dermatology — $75.6 million; Canada and Australia — $48.2 million; Branded Generics — Europe — $43.4 million; and Branded Generics — Latin America — $64.7 million.

(b)
Revenues by segment in the first half of 2011 reflect the addition of revenues from Valeant products and services as follows: U.S. Neurology and Other — $122.2 million; U.S. Dermatology — $137.3 million; Canada and Australia — $91.4 million; Branded Generics — Europe — $95.6 million; and Branded Generics — Latin America — $121.1 million.

(c)
Branded Generics — Europe segment revenues reflect incremental revenues from PharmaSwiss products and services of $65.4 million and $81.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.

        Total revenues increased $370.6 million, or 155%, to $609.4 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $716.0 million, or 156%, to $1,174.4 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $458.4 million in the first half of 2010. A substantial portion of these increases was due to the incremental revenues of Valeant and PharmaSwiss of $286.3 million and $65.4 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011, and $567.6 million and $81.6 million, respectively, in the first half of 2011, while the remaining increase was mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

    in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

    alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to the milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™; and

    increases in Xenazine® product sales of $10.0 million, or 62%, to $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, and $18.2 million, or 63%, to $47.1 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $28.9 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting year-over-year increases in patient enrollment and the positive effect of price increases and lower gross-to-net sales provisions.

      Those factors were partially offset by:

      decreases in Wellbutrin XL® product sales of $8.8 million, or 18%, to $39.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $48.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, and $7.7 million, or 8%, to $86.2 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $93.9 million in the first half of 2010, mainly due to the introduction of an additional generic competitor in the fourth quarter of 2010. We anticipate a continuing decline in Wellbutrin XL® product sales due to generic erosion, although we have implemented a number of new initiatives to support the brand. In addition, Wellbutrin XL® product sales, which represented approximately 7% of our total revenues in each of the second quarter and first half of 2011, are expected to represent a declining percentage of total revenues due to anticipated growth in other parts of our business and recent acquisitions.

49


    in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

    alliance revenue of $36.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 related to the out-license of the Cloderm® product rights; and

    an increase in Zovirax® product sales of $7.6 million, or 9%, to $88.0 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $80.4 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting the shipment of launch quantities of a new 30g presentation of the ointment form of the product in the first quarter of 2011. As anticipated, we experienced a decline in Zovirax® product sales of $20.0 million to $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $54.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, as we introduced physicians and patients to the new 30g presentation and remaining wholesale inventories of the original 15g ointment tubes were sold through.

        In the third quarter of 2011, we intend to reduce our overall wholesaler inventory levels from approximately one month to two-to-three weeks of supply. This is expected to have a one-time negative impact on our product sales revenue in the third quarter of 2011 of approximately $15.0 million to $30.0 million.

Segment Profit

        Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and legal settlement and acquired IPR&D charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance. In addition, share-based compensation is not allocated to segments, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

        The following table displays profit (loss) by segment for the second quarters and first halves of 2011 and 2010, the percentage of each segment's profit (loss) compared with corresponding segment revenues in the respective period, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment's profit (loss).

Segment profit (loss) in the second quarter of 2011 reflects the addition of Valeant's operations, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets as follows: U.S. Neurology and Other — $2.0 million; U.S. Dermatology — $14.6 million; Canada and Australia — $8.8 million; Branded Generics — Europe — $7.3 million; and Branded Generics — Latin America — $11.9 million.

(b)
Segment profit (loss) in the first half of 2011 reflects the addition of Valeant's operations, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets as follows: U.S. Neurology and Other — $19.0 million; U.S. Dermatology — $36.4 million; Canada and Australia — $18.4 million; Branded Generics — Europe — $17.0 million; and Branded Generics — Latin America — $27.9 million.

(c)
Branded Generics — Europe segment profit reflects the addition of PharmaSwiss operations commencing on the acquisition date, including the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory and identifiable intangible assets of $23.6 million and $28.7 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.

        Total segment profit increased $104.0 million, or 106%, to $201.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $97.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $151.5 million, or 74%, to $356.5 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $205.1 million in the first half of 2010. A substantial portion of these increases was due to the inclusion of operations of Valeant, net of realized synergies from the Merger, and PharmaSwiss, while the remaining increase was mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

    in the U.S. Neurology and Other segment:

    alliance revenue of $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to the Trobalt™ milestone payment from GSK; and

    increased contribution from Xenazine® product sales of $11.6 million and $18.0 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, reflecting higher volumes and the positive effect of price increases and lower gross-to-net adjustments.

    in the U.S. Dermatology segment:

    an increased contribution from Zovirax® product sales of $6.2 million and $19.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, reflecting the supply of the new 30g presentation of the ointment form of the product in the first quarter of 2011, and a lower supply price for inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. rights, such that we retain a greater share of the economic interest in the brand; and

    a net contribution of $5.3 million from the out-license of Cloderm® in the first quarter of 2011, taking into account the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets that was expensed as cost of alliance revenue.

Cost of Goods Sold

        Cost of goods sold, which excludes the amortization of intangible assets described separately below under "— Amortization of Intangible Assets", increased $106.1 million, or 166%, to $169.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $63.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $216.4 million, or 176%, to $339.2 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $122.8 million in the first half of 2010. The percentage increases in cost of goods sold were higher than the corresponding 155% and 156% increases in total product sales in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, primarily due to:

    the impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments of $16.3 million and $46.2 million related to acquired inventories that were subsequently sold in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively. Substantially all of the acquisition accounting adjustments on Valeant and PharmaSwiss inventories has been recognized in cost of goods sold as of June 30, 2011.

        That factor was partially offset by:

    the effect of the lower supply price for Zovirax® inventory purchased from GSK, as a result of the new supply agreement that became effective with the acquisition of the U.S. rights, which favourably impacted cost of goods sold by $5.4 million and $12.0 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.

Cost of Alliance and Service Revenues

        Cost of alliance and service revenues was $3.4 million in each of the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, and increased $30.7 million, or 459%, to $37.3 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $6.7 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to the inclusion of the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible asset, which was expensed on the out-license of the product rights in the first quarter of 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $104.6 million, or 232%, to $149.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $200.6 million, or 226%, to $289.2 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $88.6 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to:

    the addition of Valeant's operating costs; and

    increases of $23.5 million and $51.1 million in share-based compensation expense charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, including approximately $16.4 million and $38.8 million, in those respective periods, related to the amortization of the fair value increment on Valeant stock options and RSUs converted into Company awards and the equitable adjustment to certain vested stock option awards, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared and paid in the fourth quarter of 2010.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    decreases in compensation expense of $3.1 million and $0.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, related to existing deferred share units ("DSUs") held by current directors. In May 2011, those DSUs were modified from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which converted the DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional compensation expense will be recognized after the date of modification.

Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development expenses declined $5.9 million, or 25%, to $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, and declined $4.8 million, or 13%, to

52



$31.4 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $36.2 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting the impact of the termination of certain of our specialty central nervous system ("CNS") drug development programs in the fourth quarter of 2010, which more than offset the addition of Valeant's research and development expenses.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization expense increased $81.6 million, or 245%, to $114.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $160.4 million, or 241%, to $227.0 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $66.6 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to the amortization of the Valeant and PharmaSwiss identifiable intangible assets of $75.4 million and $151.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

        As described above under "Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives", we recognized primarily Merger-related restructuring charges and other integration costs of $27.6 million and $45.2 million in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively.

Acquired IPR&D

        In the second quarter and first half of 2011, we recorded acquired IPR&D charges of $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of the Canadian rights to Cholestagel®, which was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D assets with no alternative future use. In the corresponding periods of 2010, we paid $10.2 million and $61.2 million to acquire certain specialty CNS drug development programs, which programs were terminated following the Merger.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense increased $73.1 million, or 735%, to $83.1 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, and increased $132.0 million, or 668%, to $151.8 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $19.8 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting primarily the legacy Valeant debt assumed as of the Merger Date (partially reduced by the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011), and the post-Merger issuances of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)").

53


Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

        In the second quarter and first half of 2011, we recognized losses of $14.7 million and $23.0 million, respectively, mainly on the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program") and the share settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)").

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net

        In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, we had invested $60.0 million to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, we disposed of our entire equity investment in Cephalon for net proceeds of $81.3 million, which resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million that was recognized in earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

NM — Not meaningful

        In the second quarter of 2011, we recognized a recovery of income taxes of $12.6 million, which comprised $16.6 million related to the expected tax benefit in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada offset with tax expense of $4.0 million related to Canadian income taxes and, in the first half of 2011, we recognized a recovery of income taxes of $16.0 million, which comprised $19.8 million related to the expected tax benefit in tax jurisdictions outside of Canada offset with tax expense of $3.8 million related to Canadian income taxes. In the second quarter and first half of 2011, our effective tax rate was primarily impacted by (i) tax benefit of current U.S. losses, (ii) the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to the settlement of various tax examinations in the U.S., and (iii) a partial increase of the valuation allowance specific to the Canadian net deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents declined $155.3 million, or 39%, to $238.9 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with $394.3 million at December 31, 2010, which primarily reflected the following uses of cash:

    $975.0 million repayment of the Term Loan A Facility (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    $871.2 million paid, in the aggregate, in connection with the purchases of businesses and intangible assets, mainly in respect of the PharmaSwiss, Zovirax® and Elidel®/Xerese™ acquisitions;

    $499.6 million related to the purchase of common shares from ValueAct and $344.0 million paid to repurchase a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, which included the payment of accreted interest of $5.0 million (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program");

    $60.0 million paid to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon;

    $54.7 million of employee withholding taxes paid in connection with the exercise of share-based awards; and

    purchases of property, plant and equipment of $34.0 million.

        Partially offset by the following sources of cash:

    $2,139.7 million of net proceeds on the issuance of senior notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    $313.0 million in operating cash flows;

    $100.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility;

    $81.3 million of net proceeds on the disposal of the Cephalon common stock; and

    $61.0 million in proceeds from stock option exercises, including tax benefits.

Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets increased $981.8 million, or 10%, to $10,637.7 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with $9,655.9 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

    $439.9 million assigned to the Elidel® and Xerese™ identifiable intangible assets;

    the inclusion of the identifiable intangible assets and goodwill of PharmaSwiss, which amounted to $381.4 million in the aggregate;

55


    the $300.0 million paid to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to Zovirax®; and

    purchases of property, plant and equipment of $34.0 million.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    the depreciation of plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets of $249.3 million in the aggregate; and

    the $30.7 million carrying amount of the Cloderm® intangible assets expensed in connection with the out-license of the product rights.

Long-term Debt

        Long-term debt (including the current portion) increased $951.5 million, or 26%, to $4,546.8 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with $3,595.3 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

    the issuance of $2,150.0 million principal amount of senior notes in the first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

    the $100.0 million borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        That factor was partially offset by:

    the $975.0 million repayment of the Term Loan A Facility;

    the share settlement of the $221.4 million carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)"); and

    the repurchase of $96.4 million carrying amount of the liability component of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, exclusive of related deferred financing costs (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program").

Shareholders' Equity

        Shareholders' equity declined $245.7 million, or 5%, to $4,665.4 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with $4,911.1 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to:

    a charge for the excess of $666.0 million of the fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes over the estimated fair value of the liability component (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    a decrease of $499.6 million related to the purchase of common shares from ValueAct; and

    a charge for the excess of $232.4 million of the purchase price of the 5.375% Convertible Notes over the estimated fair value of the liability component (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Securities Repurchase Program").

        That factor was partially offset by:

    the $892.0 million fair value of the common shares issued upon settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    a positive foreign currency translation adjustment of $183.4 million to other comprehensive income, mainly due to the impact of a weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to a number of other currencies, including the Polish zloty, Mexican peso, euro, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar, which increased the reported value of our net assets denominated in those currencies;

56


    net income of $62.8 million, including $55.5 million of share-based compensation recorded in additional paid-in capital; and

    proceeds of $29.4 million from the issuance of common shares on the exercise of stock options.

Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased $117.7 million, or 108%, to $226.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $108.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to:

    the inclusion of cash flows from the operations of Valeant and PharmaSwiss in the second quarter of 2011;

    the receipt of the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™ in the second quarter of 2011;

    the receipt in the second quarter of 2011 of the $36.0 million upfront payment related to the sale of Cloderm®; and

    the increased contribution from Xenazine® and Zovirax® product sales of $11.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2011.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    payments related to the Merger-related restructuring charges ($17.4 million) and legacy Valeant pre-Merger restructuring cost obligations assumed as of the Merger Date ($6.5 million).

        Net cash provided by operating activities increased $159.3 million, or 104%, to $313.0 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $153.7 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to:

    the inclusion of cash flows from the operations of Valeant and PharmaSwiss in the first half of 2011;

    the receipt of the $40.0 million milestone payment from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt™;

    the receipt of the $36.0 million upfront payment related to the sale of Cloderm®; and

    the increased contribution from Xenazine® and Zovirax® product sales of $18.0 million and $19.6 million, respectively, in the first half of 2011.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    payments related to the Merger-related restructuring charges ($40.5 million) and legacy Valeant pre-Merger restructuring cost obligations assumed as of the Merger Date ($22.4 million) in the first half of 2011; and

57


    legal settlement payments of $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 related to Biovail legacy litigation matters.

Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities increased $53.1 million to $62.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to:

    an increase of $104.6 million, in the aggregate, related to the purchases of businesses and intangible assets, mainly in respect of the Elidel®/Xerese™ acquisition in the second quarter of 2011; and

    the $20.0 million paid in April 2011 to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    a decrease of $81.3 million related to the net proceeds on the disposal of the Cephalon common stock; and

    a decrease of $10.2 million related to the acquisition of certain specialty CNS drug development programs in the second quarter of 2010 that did not similarly occur in the second quarter of 2011.

        Net cash used in investing activities increased $834.6 million to $887.8 million in the first half of 2011, compared with $53.2 million in the first half of 2010, primarily due to:

    an increase of $871.2 million, in the aggregate, related to the purchases of businesses (net of cash acquired) and intangible assets, mainly in respect of the PharmaSwiss, Zovirax® and Elidel®/Xerese™ acquisitions in the first half of 2011;

    the $60.0 million paid to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon; and

    an increase of $27.5 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    a decrease of $81.3 million related to the net proceeds on the disposal of the Cephalon common stock; and

    a decrease of $60.2 million related to the acquisition of certain specialty CNS drug development programs in the first half of 2010 that did not similarly occur in the first half of 2011.

Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities increased $304.7 million to $330.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $25.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to:

    an increase of $224.8 million related to the purchase of common shares from ValueAct in the second quarter of 2011;

    an increase of $199.8 million related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes (exclusive of the payment of accreted interest reflected as an operating activity) in the second quarter of 2011; and

    an increase of $15.2 million related to employee withholding taxes paid on the exercise of employee share-based awards.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    a decrease of $100.0 million in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility; and

    a decrease of $12.4 million in proceeds from stock option exercises, including tax benefits.

58


        Net cash provided by financing activities was $412.6 million in the first half of 2011, compared with cash used of $38.2 million in the first half of 2010, reflecting an increase of $450.8 million, primarily due to:

    an increase related to net proceeds of $2,139.7 million from the issuance of senior notes in the first quarter of 2011 (as described below under "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)");

    an increase related to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $100.0 million; and

    an increase of $58.2 million in proceeds from stock option exercises, including tax benefits.

        Those factors were partially offset by:

    a decrease of $975.0 million related to the repayment of the Term Loan A Facility in the first quarter of 2011;

    a decrease of $499.6 million related to the purchase of common shares from ValueAct in the first half of 2011;

    a decrease of $339.0 million related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes (exclusive of the payment of accreted interest reflected as an operating activity) in the first half of 2011; and

    a decrease of $54.7 million related to employee withholding taxes paid on the exercise of employee share-based awards.

        Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and issuances of long-term debt securities. We believe that existing cash and cash generated from operations, funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility, supplemented with additional debt issuances as needed, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, based on our current expectations. We have no material commitments for expenditures related to property, plant and equipment. Part of our business strategy is to expand through strategic acquisitions, which requires us to seek additional debt financing, issue additional equity securities or sell assets, as necessary, to finance future acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes. We currently intend to raise approximately $1.0 billion in debt in order to finance the acquisitions of Sanitas, Dermik and Ortho Dermatologics in the second half of 2011. We have already negotiated for a bridge loan until this longer-term financing is in place.

        On September 27, 2010, Valeant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lending institutions, consisting of (1) a four-and-one-half-year non-amortizing $125.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a five-year amortizing $1.0 billion Term Loan A Facility, and (3) a six-year amortizing $1.625 billion term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility"). Effective November 29, 2010, the Term Loan B Facility was repaid in full. Effective March 8, 2011, Valeant terminated the Old Credit Agreement, using a portion of the net proceeds from the combined offering of 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") and 6.75% senior notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") (as described below) to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility.

        On June 29, 2011, Valeant entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), consisting of a one-and-one-half-year, non-amortizing $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, we had borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants. In July 2011, we borrowed an additional $12.0 million under this facility.

        On February 8, 2011, Valeant issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.75% per year. The net proceeds of the 2021 Notes offering were principally used to finance the PharmaSwiss and Zovirax® acquisitions.

        On March 8, 2011, Valeant issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2022 Notes. The 2016 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6.50% per year, and the 2022 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% per year. The 2016 Notes were issued at par and the 2022 Notes were issued at 98.125% of par for an effective annual yield of 7.50%. Net proceeds of the 2016 Notes and 2022 Notes offering were principally used to prepay the amounts outstanding under Valeant's Term Loan A Facility, as described above, and to fund the repurchase of our common shares from ValueAct in March 2011 (as described below under "— Securities Repurchase Program").

        The senior notes issued by Valeant are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under its other senior notes. Certain of the future subsidiaries of Valeant and the Company may be required to guarantee the senior notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $3,859.3 million and total liabilities of $1,423.8 million as of June 30, 2011, and net revenues of $362.8 million and a loss from operations of $24.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

        On April 20, 2011, we distributed a notice of redemption to holders of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, pursuant to which all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes on May 20, 2011 would be redeemed. Prior to that date, at the election of the holders, all of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. The carrying amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes prior to settlement was $221.4 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement was $892.0 million. The difference of $670.6 million between the carrying amount and the fair value of the common shares issued upon settlement was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt ($4.6 million) and a charge to shareholders' equity ($666.0 million).

        With respect to Valeant's call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which mature on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options are to be settled

60



in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, we received 11,479,365 common shares of the Company on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled.

Securities Repurchase Program

        On November 4, 2010, we announced that the board of directors approved a securities repurchase program (the "securities repurchase program"), pursuant to which we may make purchases of our common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in the Company's financing agreements and applicable law. Our board of directors also approved a sub-limit of up to 16.0 million common shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's public float (as estimated at the commencement of the securities repurchase program), to be purchased for cancellation under a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). We may initially make purchases under the securities repurchase program of up to 15.0 million common shares through the facilities of the NYSE, in accordance with applicable rules and guidelines. This represented approximately 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of November 4, 2010. Following additional filings and related approvals, we may also purchase common shares over the TSX. The program does not require us to repurchase a minimum number of securities, and the program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The securities repurchase program will terminate on November 7, 2011 or at such earlier time as we complete our purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the securities repurchase program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements. The securities to be repurchased will be funded using our cash resources.

        In the first half of 2011, we repurchased $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $344.0 million. The carrying amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes purchased was $93.3 million (net of $3.1 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs). The difference of $250.7 million between the net carrying amount and the purchase price was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt ($18.3 million) and a charge to shareholders' equity ($232.4 million). The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt discount amounted to $5.0 million in the first half of 2011, and is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as payment of accreted interest in cash flows from operating activities. The remaining portion of the payment of $339.0 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows as an outflow from financing activities, which includes a payment to the note holders of a $15.2 million premium above the carrying value. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, we repurchased an additional $11.4 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for cash consideration of $41.7 million.

        In March 2011, we repurchased 7,366,419 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $274.8 million. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As of June 30, 2011, we had recorded an estimated $24.2 million receivable from ValueAct in relation to withholding taxes on the March 2011 repurchase. In May 2011, a subsidiary of the Company purchased 4,498,180 of our common shares from ValueAct for an aggregate purchase price of $224.8 million. In June 2011, the Company purchased these common shares from its subsidiary and the common shares were subsequently cancelled. G. Mason Morfit is a partner and a member of the Management Committee of ValueAct Capital. Mr. Morfit joined the Company's board of directors on September 28, 2010, effective with the Merger, and prior thereto served as a member of Valeant's board of directors since 2007. ValueAct Capital is the general partner and the manager of ValueAct.

        Since the commencement of the securities repurchase program, we have repurchased a total of $246.6 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for total consideration of $645.0 million and 14,169,599 of our common shares for total consideration of $559.7 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity, or capital resources.

        There have been no other material changes outside the normal course of business to the items specified in the contractual obligations table and related disclosures under the heading "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2010 Form 10-K.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

        Our common shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE under the ticker symbol "VRX".

        As of August 2, 2011, we had 300,237,443 issued and outstanding common shares and 1,597,887 common shares issuable in connection with the Merger. In addition, we had 10,774,325 stock options and 2,076,507 time-based RSUs that each represent the right of a holder to receive one of the Company's common shares, and 1,255,930 performance-based RSUs that represent the right of a holder to receive up to 300% of the RSUs granted. A maximum of 2,761,794 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding.

        Assuming full share settlement, 7,204,927 common shares are issuable upon the conversion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes (based on a current conversion rate of 69.6943 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment). Under the written call option agreement on our common shares in respect of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, the counterparties have the right but not the obligation to buy from us 15,813,338 of our common shares.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and which require management's most subjective and complex judgment due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available and make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2010 Form 10-K.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

        Information regarding the adoption of new accounting standards is contained in note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of June 30, 2011

        We will adopt the provisions of the following new accounting standards effective January 1, 2012:

    Guidance that results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards

62


      ("IFRS"). The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

    Guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the components of other comprehensive income or the calculation of earnings per share. As the guidance relates only to the presentation of other comprehensive income, the adoption of this accounting standard will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our exposures to market risks as disclosed under the heading "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2010 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk

        As of June 30, 2011, we had $4,464.8 million principal amount of fixed rate debt that requires U.S. dollar repayment. The estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2011 was $4,649.4 million. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 100 basis-points the fair value of our long-term debt would increase or decrease by approximately $252.0 million. We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt as changes in interest rates could adversely affect earnings and cash flows. A 100 basis-points change in interest rates would have an annualized pre-tax effect of approximately $1.0 million in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, based on current outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. While our variable-rate debt may impact earnings and cash flows as interest rates change, it is not subject to changes in fair value.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

65



PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        For information concerning legal proceedings, reference is made to note 18 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        The following should be read in conjunction with and supplements and amends the risk factors that may affect the Company's business or operations in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

        We have grown at a very rapid pace. Our inability to properly manage or support this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common shares to decline.

        We have grown very rapidly over the past few years as a result of our acquisitions. This growth has put significant demands on our processes, systems and people. We have made and expect to make further investments in additional personnel, systems and internal control processes to help manage our growth. If we do not manage and support our rapid growth appropriately, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common shares could decline.

Failure to close transactions could damage our business.

        There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to our closing transactions, including our proposed transactions to acquire Sanitas and certain assets and rights relating to Dermik and Ortho Dermatologics. There is no assurance as to when or if such transactions will close. There is no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the termination of the related agreements. If such transactions are not completed for any reason, we will be subject to several risks, including the following: (i) the market price of our common shares may reflect a market assumption that such transactions will occur, and a failure to complete such transactions could result in a negative perception by the market of us generally and a decline in the market price of our common shares; and (ii) many costs relating to the such transactions may be payable by us whether or not such transactions are completed. If such transactions are not completed, the risks described above may materialize and cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common shares to decline.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

        On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that the board of directors approved a securities repurchase program (the "securities repurchase program"), pursuant to which the Company may make purchases of its common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion, subject to any restrictions in the Company's financing agreements and applicable law. The securities repurchase program expires on November 7, 2011.
