STAINES-UPON-THAMES, United Kingdom, Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK), a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company, today reported results for the three months ended September 28, 2018. Unless otherwise noted, the quarter comparisons are to the prior year comparable three months ended September 29, 2017. Net sales were $640.0 million in the quarter as compared to $600.6 million, up 6.6%, or 6.7% on a constant-currency basis. GAAP gross profit was $313.8 million with gross profit as a percentage of net sales of 49.0%, compared with 55.4%, primarily due to recent acquisitions. Adjusted gross profit was $530.4 million, compared with $502.4 million. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 82.9% versus 83.6%. "Mallinckrodt performed well in the third quarter driven by strong customer demand for our hospital products and effective expense management. This tight expense control also helped us support increased R&D investments in our innovative pipeline. Based on this performance we are raising adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for the fiscal year," said Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mallinckrodt. "We continue to be pleased with the performance trajectory of H.P. Acthar® Gel and we also look forward to a number of important clinical data and regulatory updates across the portfolio in coming quarters. Finally, we continue to make strong progress against our objective of reducing debt." GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $164.0 million or 25.6% of net sales, as compared to $186.3 million, or 31.0%, while adjusted SG&A expenses were $175.8 million or 27.5% of net sales, compared with $178.3 million or 29.7%. Both measures benefited from the company's focus on SG&A reduction including benefits from restructuring and acquisition synergies. Research and development expenses were $78.5 million or 12.3% of net sales, as compared to $46.9 million or 7.8%, resulting from increased pipeline investment and in-line portfolio data generation. Income tax benefit was $125.2 million, for an effective tax rate of 564.0%. The adjusted effective tax rate was 10.0%. GAAP diluted income per share from continuing operations was $1.21 compared with $0.55. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.10 versus $1.82. Nine-Month Fiscal 2018 Results On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $31.9 million, compared with $26.6 million. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.37 compared with loss per share of $0.27. Adjusted net income was $439.6 million, compared with $418.0 million.

ABOUT MALLINCKRODT Mallinckrodt uses its website as a channel of distribution of important company information, such as press releases, investor presentations and other financial information. It also uses its website to expedite public access to time-critical information regarding the company in advance of or in lieu of distributing a press release or a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing the same information.

Visitors to the website can also register to receive automatic e-mail and other notifications alerting them when new information is made available on the Investor Relations page of the website. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A represent amounts prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. The adjustments for these items are on a pre-tax basis for adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A and on an after-tax basis for adjusted net income. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, amortization; restructuring and related charges, net; inventory step-up expenses; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; acquisition-related expenses; significant legal and environmental charges; pension settlement charges; losses/gains on divestiture; tax effects of aforementioned adjustments as well as impacts from certain transactions, such as acquisitions or reorganizations; and other items identified by the company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share represent adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares. The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as the income tax effects on continuing and discontinued operations plus the income tax impact included in Mallinckrodt's reconciliation of net income, divided by income from continuing and discontinued operations plus the pre-tax, non-income, tax-related adjustments included in its reconciliation of adjusted net income (excluding dilutive share impact). The income tax adjustment included in the reconciliation of adjusted net income primarily represents the tax impact of adjustments between net income and adjusted net income as well as tax impacts from certain transactions, such as acquisitions or reorganizations. Net debt for the third quarter represents the total principal debt outstanding of $6,260.1 million less unrestricted cash of $290.7 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net sales growth on a constant-currency basis measures the change in net sales between current- and prior-year periods using a constant currency, the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior-year period. Free cash flow for the third quarter represents net cash provided by operating activities of $219.3 million less capital expenditures of $26.2 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow for the nine-month period represents net cash provided by operating activities of $481.1 million less capital expenditures of $93.3 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company has provided these adjusted financial measures because they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company's operating performance. In addition, the company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt's operating results. Management believes that presenting these adjusted measures provides useful information about the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. These adjusted measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company's definition of these adjusted measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because adjusted financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release. Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found on the Investor Relations page of the company's website.
