Biggest changeActual results may vary from the guidance we provide investors from time to time, such that our stock price may decline following, among other things, any earnings release or guidance that does not meet market expectations. It has become increasingly commonplace for investors to file lawsuits against companies following a rapid decrease in market capitalization.
Biggest changeIt has become increasingly commonplace for investors to file lawsuits against companies following a rapid decrease in share price.
We have been in the past, are currently, and may be in the future, named in these types of lawsuits. These types of lawsuits can be costly and divert management attention and other resources away from our business, regardless of their merits, and could result in adverse settlements or judgments.
We have been in the past, are currently, and may be in the future, named in these types of lawsuits, which can be costly and divert management attention and other resources away from our business, regardless of their merits, and could result in adverse settlements or judgments, which could have a material impact on our reputation, business, and results of operation.
Removed
Business - Government Regulations and Pricing , for changes to tax and import/export laws and trade and customs policies (including the enactment of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including but not limited to, goods imported from China), problems related to markets with different cultural norms or political systems, possible difficulties in enforcing agreements, longer payment cycles and shipping lead-times, difficulties obtaining export or import licenses, and imposition of withholding or other taxes.
Added
Additionally, if we are unable to maintain adequately high levels of customer service over time, customers may choose to assess penalties (where such penalties are contractually permitted), obtain alternate sources for products, and/or end their relationships with us. 20 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors Our businesses could be adversely affected by deteriorating economic conditions in the countries in which we operate, shifts in the retail landscape, and changes in consumer behavior, and our results may be volatile due to these or other circumstances beyond our control.
Removed
Moreover, the trade policies of the new U.S. presidential administration could result in substantial changes to tax or fiscal policies that could impact our business.
Added
Our customers could be adversely impacted if economic conditions worsen in the U.S. or other countries in which we operate. In the U.S., our consumer self-care business does not advertise our store brand products like national brand companies and thus, is largely dependent on retailer promotional activities to drive sales volume and increase market share.
Removed
For example, the administration has imposed, or indicated a willingness to impose, significant tariffs on products imported from a number of countries, which could impact our API procurement, products and manufacturing, or give rise to retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods by those countries.
Added
If our customers do not have the ability to invest in store brand promotional activities, our sales may suffer. Additionally, while we actively review the credit worthiness of our customers and suppliers, we cannot fully predict to what extent they may be negatively impacted by slowing economic growth.
Removed
Additionally, we are subject to periodic reviews and audits by governmental authorities responsible for administering import and export regulations. To the extent that we are unable to successfully defend against an audit or review, we may be required to pay assessments, penalties, and increased duties. Certain of our facilities operate in a special purpose sub-zone established by the U.S.
Added
Our stock price has declined and may continue to decline due to any earnings release or guidance that does not meet market expectations or other circumstances, which may be beyond our control, such as the severity, length and timing of the cough/cold/flu and allergy seasons, the timing of new product approvals and introductions by us and our competitors, and the timing of retailer promotional programs.
Removed
Department of Commerce Foreign Trade Zone Board, which allows us certain tax advantages on products and raw materials shipped through these facilities. If the Foreign Trade Zone Board were to revoke the sub-zone designation or limit our use, we could be subject to increased duties.
Added
Changes in the retail landscape and consumer behavior may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Removed
Although we believe that we conduct our business in compliance with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery and economic sanctions laws, if we are found to not be in compliance with such laws or other anti-corruption laws, we could be subject to governmental investigations, legal or regulatory proceedings, substantial fines, and/or other legal or equitable penalties.
Added
The increasing prevalence of alternative sales channels, such as e‑commerce, direct‑to‑consumer online brands, subscription services, and buying clubs, together with evolving consumer preferences, demand patterns, shopping behaviors, and consumption levels, may result in pressure on pricing, and shift market share in ways that are difficult to predict. These dynamics could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Removed
This risk increases in locations outside of the U.S., particularly in locations that have not previously had to comply with the FCPA, U.K. Bribery Act 2010, Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offenses) Act 2018, and similar laws. We operate in jurisdictions that could be affected by economic and geopolitical instability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Added
Our performance is also dependent on discretionary consumer spending, which is influenced by factors beyond our control, including general economic and political conditions, consumer confidence, interest rates, inflation, tax rates, credit availability, employment levels, and housing and financial market conditions. Deterioration in any of these factors could reduce customer spending and adversely affect our net sales and profitability.
Removed
Our operations and supply partners could be affected by economic or political instability, embargoes, military hostilities, unstable governments and legal systems, inter-governmental disputes, travel restrictions, terrorist acts, and other armed conflicts. The global nature of our business involves the following risks, among others: • The U.S.
Added
Our performance is also influenced by consumer trends, habits, and preferences. A shift away from traditional medicine or changes in other preferences could diminish demand for our products and reduce sales.
Removed
Department of State and other governments have at times issued advisories regarding travel to certain countries in which we do business, causing regulatory agencies to curtail or prohibit their inspectors from traveling to inspect facilities.
Added
As a result of these and other risks and uncertainties, our future sales, earnings, and cash flows could be volatile and vary materially from our expectations, including our published guidance.
Removed
If these inspectors are unable to inspect our facilities, the regulatory agencies could withhold approval for new products intended to be produced at those facilities. • As a result of the exit of the U.K. from the E.U. (“Brexit”), which occurred in 2020, we continue to experience uncertainty surrounding certain of our businesses.
Added
Our ability to achieve operating results in line with published guidance is inherently subject to significant uncertainties, and related share-price volatility may heighten our susceptibility to investor lawsuits and activist shareholder activity.
Removed
While the E.U. and U.K. ratified a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (the “TCA”) that sets forth a framework for cooperation between the E.U. and U.K., including the mutual recognition of GMP inspections of manufacturing facilities for medicinal products, it does not contain wholesale mutual recognition of pharmaceutical regulations and product standards, and the E.U. and the U.K. continue to amend legislation and regulations post-Brexit.
Added
Our financial projections, including any sales, earnings guidance, or outlook we may provide to investors from time to time, are forward-looking statements based on estimates and assumptions that are uncertain and subject to risks, contingencies, and factors beyond our control.
Removed
We continue to monitor for divergence between E.U. and U.K. regulations that could negatively impact our supply chain operations or other product development or sales operations. Moreover, financial volatility and geopolitical instability outside the U.S. may impact our operations or affect global markets.
Added
These estimates and assumptions may be adversely affected by the risks described in this Report and by other uncertainties, and actual results may vary and differ materially from those expressed or implied by such projections or guidance. Any failure to meet market expectations, or change to, our projections or guidance may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
Removed
As noted above, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East continue to impact our operations and supply chain and any escalation of these conflicts could have a larger impact that expands into other markets where we do business, including our supply chain, business partners and customers in the broader region, which could result in lost sales, supply shortages, increase manufacturing costs and lost efficiencies.
Added
A decline in our share price may also increase our vulnerability to activist shareholder actions. Responding to activist campaigns or a potential proxy contest may require significant time, attention, and resources from management and our Board and may result in substantial legal, advisory, and administrative expenses.
Removed
Further, the conflict may adversely impact macroeconomic conditions and increase volatility in and affect our ability to access capital markets and external financing sources on acceptable terms or at all.
Added
Investor perception of activist activity may also increase share price volatility, and the associated distraction and resource demands could impede our ability to execute our business strategy and related strategic initiatives, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Removed
Given the international scope of our operations, such effects of ongoing wars and armed conflicts, and others we cannot anticipate, could adversely affect our business, business opportunities, operations, and financial results. 26 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors The international scope of our business exposes us to risks associated with foreign exchange rates.
Added
Our exposure to cybersecurity threats and third‑party information system vulnerabilities could result in a material adverse effect on our business. Our business operations are increasingly dependent upon information technology systems that are highly complex, interrelated with our external business partners, and may contain confidential information (including personal data, trade secrets or other intellectual property, or proprietary business information).
Removed
We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our revenues, expenses, assets, indebtedness and other liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies. These currencies include, among others, the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish Krona, Chinese Yuan, Danish Krone, and Polish Zloty.
Added
The nature of digital systems, both internally and externally, makes them potentially vulnerable to disruption or damage from human error and/or security breaches, which include, but are not limited to, ransomware, data theft, denial of service attacks, sabotage, 21 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors industrial espionage, interruptions or other system issues, unauthorized access and computer viruses.
Removed
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including as a result of inflation, central bank monetary policies, currency controls or other currency exchange restrictions have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our financial performance. We may seek to mitigate the risk of such impacts through hedging, but such hedging activities may be costly and may not be effective.
Added
Such events may be difficult to detect, and once detected, their impact may be difficult to assess and address. Cyber-attacks have become increasingly common. We have experienced immaterial business disruption, monetary loss and data loss as a result of phishing, business email compromise and other types of attacks.
Removed
In addition, emerging market economies in which we operate may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, weaker oil and other commodity prices, and large external deficits. Risks in one country can limit our opportunities for portfolio growth and negatively affect our operations in another country or countries.
Added
In addition, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, may intensify our cybersecurity risks.
Removed
Such conditions or developments could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, we may be exposed to credit risks in some of those markets. Litigation and Insurance Risks We are or may become involved in lawsuits and may experience unfavorable outcomes of such proceedings.
Added
While we continue to employ resources to monitor our systems and protect our infrastructure, these measures may prove insufficient, and that could subject us to significant risks, including, without limitation: • Ransomware attacks, other cyber breaches or disruptions that impair our ability to develop products, meet regulatory approval requirements or deadlines, produce or ship products, take or fulfill orders, and/or collect or make payments on a timely basis; • System issues, whether as a result of an intentional breach, a natural disaster or human error that damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, experience lower sales volume, and/or incur significant liabilities; • Significant expense to remediate the results of any attack or breach and to ensure compliance with any required disclosures mandated by the numerous global privacy and security laws and regulations; and • Interruptions, security breaches, loss, misappropriation, or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of confidential information, which, individually or collectively, could result in financial, legal, business or reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Removed
We may become involved in lawsuits arising from a wide variety of commercial, manufacturing, development, marketing, sales and other business-related matters, including, but not limited to, competitive issues, pricing, contract issues, intellectual property matters, false advertising, antitrust or unfair competition, taxation matters, workers' compensation, product quality/recall, environmental remediation, securities law, disclosure, product liability and regulatory issues.
Added
Our inability to timely and responsibly leverage emerging technologies, including generative artificial intelligence, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, and the use of emerging technologies generally could result in regulatory action, legal liability, operational challenges or reputational harm.
Removed
Litigation is unpredictable and could result in potentially significant monetary damages, and we could incur substantial legal expenses, even if a claim against us is unsuccessful. We intend to vigorously defend against any lawsuits, however, we cannot predict how the cases will be resolved. Adverse results in, or settlements of, such cases could result in substantial monetary judgments.
Added
Our ability to identify, adopt, and effectively integrate emerging technologies, including generative artificial intelligence (“AI”), into our product development, services, and operations is an important factor in maintaining our competitiveness. If we are unable to timely and responsibly leverage such technologies, our operating results, and growth prospects could be adversely affected.
Removed
No assurance can be made that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial position or results of operations in the future. Refer to Item 8. Note 19 .
Added
Increased use of AI introduces certain risks, including heightened exposure to cybersecurity threats, data privacy and intellectual property concerns, algorithmic errors or bias leading to flawed outputs or poor decision-making, and increased third-party dependency risks. Additionally, the legal and regulatory landscape governing AI is rapidly evolving in the United States and globally.
Removed
The actual or alleged presence of certain hazardous substances or petroleum products on, under or in our currently or formerly owned property, or from a third-party disposal facility that we may have used, or the failure to remediate them, could have adverse effects, including, for example, substantial investigative or remedial obligations and limitations on our ability to sell or rent affected property or to borrow funds using affected property as collateral.
Added
Changes in, or noncompliance with, applicable laws, regulations, standards, and industry guidance could result in increased compliance costs, operational constraints, liability, or reputational harm.
Removed
There can be no assurance that environmental liabilities and costs will not have a material adverse effect on us. Refer to Item 1. Business - Environmental for more information related to environmental remediation matters.
Added
While we have implemented, and expect to continue enhancing, governance, security, and quality control measures related to the use of AI and other emerging technologies, these measures may not be effective in all cases, and we may incur significant costs or face unanticipated consequences as these technologies and their regulatory frameworks continue to develop.
Removed
Increased scrutiny on pricing practices and competition, including antitrust enforcement activity by government agencies and class action litigation, may have an adverse impact on our business and operating results, which could be material.
Added
We are subject to data privacy laws and regulations and our failure in compliance could result in a material adverse effect on our business.
Removed
There has been increased scrutiny regarding sales, marketing, and pricing practices, including criminal antitrust investigations regarding drug pricing, civil False Claims Act investigations relating to drug pricing and marketing, multiple civil antitrust litigation initiated by governmental and private plaintiffs against pharmaceutical manufacturers and individuals, and related media reports.
Added
We are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect personal data, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and other similar state laws in the U.S., the U.K.'s Data Protection Act of 2018 and the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
Removed
Perrigo has been named as a co-defendant with certain other generic manufacturers in a number of class action, individual plaintiff direct action, State Attorney General, and county lawsuits alleging that we engaged in anti-competitive behavior to fix or raise the prices of certain drugs starting, in some instances, as early as calendar year 2010. Refer to Item 8.
Added
These data protection laws introduced more stringent data protection requirements and significant potential fines, as well as increased our responsibility and potential liability in relation to personal data that we process and possess.
Removed
Note 19 . While we intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously, any adverse decision could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and reputation.
Added
Compliance with such laws requires significant time and resources and may impose significant challenges that are likely to continue to increase over time, particularly as additional regulatory agencies adopt similar or new requirements. We have put mechanisms in place to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws, but there can be no guarantee of their effectiveness.
Removed
In addition, in May 2018, Perrigo was also served with and responded to a civil investigative demand in connection with a related civil False Claims Act investigation by the Civil Division of the Department of Justice.
Added
For more information regarding our cybersecurity activities, please refer to
Removed
Although no charges or other related civil claims have been brought to date against Perrigo or any of our current employees (or, to the best of our knowledge, former employees), by the Department of Justice, we take the investigation very seriously. 27 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors Third-party patents and other intellectual property rights may limit our ability to bring new products to market and may subject us to potential legal liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Removed
The manufacture, use and sale of new products that are the subject of conflicting patent rights have been the subject of substantial litigation in the self-care and pharmaceutical industries. • As a manufacturer of generic products, the ability of our CSCA and CSCI segments to bring new products to market is often limited by third-party patents or proprietary rights and regulatory exclusivity periods awarded on products.
Removed
Launching new products prior to resolution of intellectual property issues may result in us incurring legal liability if the related litigation is later resolved against us. The cost and time for us to develop Rx-to-OTC switch products is significantly greater than the rest of the new products that we introduce.
Removed
Any failure to bring new products to market in a timely manner could cause us to lose market share, and our operating results could suffer. • We may have to defend against charges that we infringed patents or violated proprietary rights of third parties.
Removed
This could require us to incur substantial expense and could divert significant effort of our technical and management personnel. If we are found to have infringed rights of others, we could lose our right to develop or manufacture some products or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties.
Removed
Additionally, if we choose to settle a dispute through licensing or similar arrangements, the costs associated with these arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing royalties.
Removed
An adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling a number of our products. • At times, our CSCA segment may seek approval to market drug products before the expiration of a third party's patents for therapeutically equivalent products, based upon our belief that such patents are invalid, unenforceable or would not be infringed by our products.
Removed
In these cases, we may face significant patent litigation.
Removed
Depending upon a complex analysis of a variety of legal and commercial factors, we may, in certain circumstances, elect to market a store brand or generic product while litigation is pending, before any court decision, or while an appeal of a lower court decision is pending, known as an "at risk" launch.
Removed
The risk involved in an "at risk" launch can be substantial because, if a patent holder ultimately prevails, the remedies available to the patent holder may include, among other things, damages measured by the profits lost by the holder, which are often significantly higher than the profits we make from selling the generic version of the product.
Removed
By electing to proceed in this manner, we could face substantial damages if we receive an adverse final court decision.
Removed
In the case where a patent holder is able to prove that our infringement was "willful" or "exceptional," under applicable law, the patent holder may be awarded up to three times the amount of its actual damages or we may be required to pay attorneys’ fees.
Removed
The success of certain of our products depends on the effectiveness of measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights and patents.
Removed
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may manufacture and market similar products. • We have been issued patents covering certain of our products, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file, patent applications seeking to protect newly developed technologies and products in various countries.
Removed
Any existing or future patents issued to or licensed by us may not provide us with any significant competitive advantages for our products or may even be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented by competitors.
Removed
In addition, patent rights may not prevent our competitors from developing, using, or commercializing non-infringing products that are similar or functionally equivalent to our products. • We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how, and continuing technological innovation that we seek to protect, in part by confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees, and consultants.
Removed
If these agreements are breached, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements.
Removed
Furthermore, trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors or, if patents are not issued with respect to products arising from research, we may not be able to maintain the value of such intellectual property rights. 28 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors Our ability to achieve operating results in line with published guidance is inherently subject to numerous risks and other factors beyond our control.
Removed
Publishing earnings guidance subjects us to risks, including increased stock volatility, that could lead to potential lawsuits by investors. Because we publish earnings guidance, we are subject to several risks. Earnings guidance is inherently uncertain and subject to factors beyond our control.
Removed
The inherent uncertainty of earnings guidance and related lawsuits could have a material impact on us. Significant increases in the cost or decreases in the availability of the insurance we maintain could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition. Disputes with insurers on the scope of existing policies may limit the coverage available under such policies.

Risk Factors — what could go wrong, per management

58 edited+60 added52 removed46 unchanged
Biggest changeRISK FACTORS SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS Operational Risks We face competition from other consumer packaged goods and pharmaceutical companies, which may threaten the demand for and pricing of our products. If we do not continue to develop, manufacture, and market innovative products, introduce new line extensions, and expand into adjacent categories that meet customer demands, our net sales may be negatively impacted and we may lose market share. We operate in highly regulated industries, and any inability to timely meet current or future regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Limitations on reimbursement, continuing healthcare reforms, and changes to reimbursement methods in the United States and other countries may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of the safety, quality, and efficacy of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business. Lack of availability, or significant increases in the cost, of raw materials used in manufacturing our products could have a material adverse effect on our profit margins and operating results. The effects of public health outbreaks, including pandemics and epidemics, and related public and governmental actions could have a material adverse impact on our operations and our business and financial condition in the future. Disruption of our supply chain, including as a result of pandemics, global health crises, or wars or other civil unrest, including war in Ukraine, or in the Middle East, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. A disruption at any of our main manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations. Our business could be negatively affected by the performance of our collaboration partners and suppliers, and any such adverse impact could be material. Our business depends upon certain customers for a significant portion of our sales, therefore our business would be adversely affected by a disruption of our relationship with these customers or any material adverse change in these customers' businesses. Our businesses could be adversely affected by deteriorating economic conditions in the countries in which we operate, and our results may be volatile due to these or other circumstances beyond our control. A cybersecurity breach, disruption or misuse of our information systems, or our external business partners’ information systems could have a material adverse effect on our business. Management transition creates uncertainties, and any difficulties we experience in managing such transitions may negatively impact our business.

Changes to tax laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the ability to utilize cash in a tax efficient manner. Our effective tax rate or cash tax payment requirements may change in the future, which could adversely impact our future results of operations.

Added

Additionally, David Ball was appointed as Chief Brand and Digital Officer.
Added
Loss of key personnel, vacancies in critical roles, or organizational changes, including leadership transitions and succession planning, creates uncertainty and could disrupt operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. 22 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors During 2025, the Company undertook organizational changes to streamline its leadership structure and align the organization around global categories.
Removed

Added
In connection with these changes, the Company discontinued the roles of Executive Vice President and President for each of the CSCI and CSCA segments. The Company appointed Roberto Khoury as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, with responsibility for operating results for the CSCI and CSCA segments.
Removed
Our success is dependent in large part on our ability to implement our One Perrigo strategy and business model successfully. To drive our business model and improve financial performance, we are engaged in certain ongoing restructuring programs.
Added
Evolving labor market conditions including wage inflation, labor shortages, changes in immigration laws and policies, and preferences for remote or flexible work, may increase costs, constrain staffing, and reduce the effectiveness of our talent programs.
Removed
In late 2022, we initiated our Supply Chain Reinvention Program, designed to increase operational efficiency and improve our return on invested capital by, among other goals, reducing portfolio complexity, investing in advanced planning capabilities, diversifying sourcing, and optimizing our manufacturing assets and distribution models.
Added
During fiscal year 2025, we commenced a strategic review of our oral care business and infant formula business and began exploring a range of strategic alternatives for those businesses. There can be no assurance that these strategic reviews will result in any particular outcome or transaction, or as to the timing thereof.
Removed
Any increase in such costs or delay or failure to achieve the anticipated benefits could have a material adverse effect on our projected results. Various factors may impact our ability to implement our strategies and realize their anticipated benefits.
Added
In the past three years, we have recognized a total of $1,542.0 million in asset impairments, across all segments and asset categories. Indicators of impairment are difficult to predict, particularly in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
Removed
These factors include circumstances outside of our control such as increased competition, legal developments, government regulation, general economic conditions, increased operating costs or expenses and changes in industry trends or consumer preferences.
Added
Because goodwill and intangible assets represent a significant portion of our total assets, any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the period recognized, and could adversely affect the market value of our common stock and/or our outstanding debt securities. Refer to Item 8.
Removed
In addition, implementing these changes will require a significant amount of management time and effort, which may disrupt our business or otherwise divert management’s attention from other aspects of our business, including our other strategic initiatives, possible organic or inorganic growth opportunities, and customer and vendor relationships.
Added
For example, the Company previously disclosed that it initiated a strategic review of its infant formula and oral care businesses to assess a full range of alternatives, and there are no assurances that any such alternatives may achieve its intended objective.
Removed
Any of the foregoing risks could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition. The synergies and benefits expected from acquiring HRA Pharma and Gateway may not be realized in the amounts anticipated or at all and integrating HRA Pharma and Gateway's business may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected.
Added
During the first quarter of 2026, we have begun transitioning from a geographic segment reporting structure to a category-based segment view, enabling us to better align our financial disclosures and operational analysis with our product offerings and strategic priorities.
Removed
We may experience challenges integrating the Gateway business and managing our expanded operations, including the acquisition of HRA Pharma. Our ability to realize the benefits expected from the HRA Pharma and Gateway acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate the business, control costs and maintain growth.
Added
The change is being made to stay in alignment with the way our chief operating decision maker intends to make future operating decisions, allocate resources and manage the growth and profitability of the Company. The anticipated change is not expected to have any impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Removed
Integrations can be complex and time consuming, and the integration may result in temporarily depressed sales while integration of supply chain and distribution channels take place. Any delays, additional unexpected costs, or other difficulties encountered in the integration process could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, operating results and/or financial condition.
Added
Failure to effectively monitor our strategies, initiatives, and risks related to environmental, social, sustainability and governance matters, as well as any actual or perceived inability to satisfy the evolving and diverging requirements and expectations of our investors, customers, regulators, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders with respect to such matters, may negatively affect our business and operations.
Removed
While the integration of HRA Pharma was completed during 2023, activities related to the integration of Gateway continued into 2024. Even if integration occurs successfully, we may not achieve projected synergies or level of anticipated sales growth in new products, brands, or geographic markets within the anticipated timeframe, or at all.
Added
Regulatory developments and stakeholder expectations relating to environmental, social, sustainability and governance matters are rapidly changing.
Removed
There are inherent uncertainties involved in identifying and assessing the profit potential, value, strengths, weaknesses, risks, and contingent and other liabilities of acquisitions, such as HRA Pharma and Gateway, some of which can be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to government regulations and oversight as well as changes in the business, the industry, competition, consumer trends or general economic conditions.
Added
For example, the European Union has adopted mandatory sustainability report and due diligence requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive ("CSDDD"). While certain jurisdictions in which we operate have adopted or proposed similar laws, regulations or policies, other jurisdictions have adopted or proposed diverging or conflicting laws, regulations or policies.
Removed
For instance, in response to the FDA's evolving regulatory expectations on infant formula, we have shortened our production campaigns to perform more frequent major cleanings and implemented enhanced product testing and quality procedures, resulting in additional costs and lower production volumes of infant formula. 24 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors Failure to effectively monitor and respond to ESG matters, including our ability to set and meet reasonable goals related to climate change and sustainability efforts, may negatively affect our business and operations.
Added
Our actual or perceived inability to comply with all applicable law, regulation or policies, including on environmental, social, sustainability and governance matters, could increase our exposure to legal and reputational risks and have a material adverse effect on our business.
Removed
For example, The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) significantly expands mandatory sustainability reporting in accordance with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”). While CSRD rules are prescriptive for the types of data to be reported, the standards to quantify and qualify such data are still evolving and uncertain.
Added
In addition, there are many factors, including factors outside of our control, that impact our ability to achieve any goals or commitments we set with respect to these matters.
Removed
However, it is likely to impose significant increased costs on us related to complying with our reporting obligations and increase risks of noncompliance with ESRS and the CSRD. We are monitoring the rules and regulations related to CSRD and anticipate to be included in the CSRD’s scope beginning in 2025, with the initial reporting expected in 2026.
Added
In 2025, the U.S government imposed new and additional tariffs on a significant number of countries and threatened to further increase the scope and amount of tariffs in the event of retaliatory countermeasures. The future of these current tariffs, and the possibility for new tariffs which could include ones specifically targeting pharmaceuticals, under which many of our U.S.
Removed
In March 2024, the SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures, which would have required the disclosure of certain climate-related risks and financial impacts, as well as GHG emissions. Following a number of legal challenges, the implementation of these rules has been stayed pending review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit.
Added
OTC self-care products may be classified, remains uncertain. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs previously imposed by the U.S. government, but the U.S. government has expressed an intention to reinstate and in certain cases increase tariffs in response.
Removed
In light of such pending litigation and the change in presidential administration, it is uncertain if and when such rules would take effect or in what form. Moreover, the standards by which ESG matters are measured are rapidly evolving, and certain areas are subject to assumptions that could change over time.
Added
The timing, scope, duration, and potential exemptions associated with these new tariffs remain subject to further administrative action and clarification. The U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, to determine the effects of importing pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients on national security.
Removed
Stakeholder expectations are not uniform, and both opponents and proponents of various ESG-related matters have increasingly resulted in a range of activism and action to advocate for their positions.
Added
While no specific action has been taken to date, this investigation may lead to the imposition of tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, consistent with the current U.S. administration's stated policy objective of reshoring pharmaceutical manufacturing to the United States.
Removed
As a global organization, we have set goals to address the impact of our operations on climate change and related environmental and social issues. These targets include reducing carbon emissions and water usage as well as becoming fully reliant on renewable energy sources. Refer to Item 1. Business - Environmental .
Added
Through fiscal year 2025, these new tariffs and trade policies have had a significant impact on our results of operations and the impact of these tariffs has materially increased the cost of goods for our products and materials sourced from other countries, particularly China.
Added
Given the recent invalidation of prior tariffs and the imposition of new temporary tariffs, our cost structure remains subject to rapid and unpredictable change, and we expect continued material impacts on our U.S. business.
Added
The Supreme Court did not determine whether duties paid under the invalidated tariff regime must be refunded, further contributing to uncertainty regarding historical and future cost of goods sold.
Added
As a result of these dynamic conditions and uncertainties, we have modified, and may further modify, our operations and strategic initiatives, including by adjusting our investment priorities, reallocating resources, or delaying specific initiatives, such as deferring capital expenditures on the Nutrition Network Optimization project, initiating an enterprise-wide operational enhancement program, and seeking further working capital improvements.
Added
If we are unable to mitigate these increased costs through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies or other measures, these costs, as well as the costs incurred in implementing these measures, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows from operations.
Added
We cannot predict the extent to which other countries will impose duties, tariffs, taxes or other similar restrictions upon the import or export of goods and materials in the future, nor can we predict future U.S. trade policy, including the potential continued regulatory forbearance allowing imported infant formulas in the United States, or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on our business. 25 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors Similarly, we cannot predict which of our products will be impacted by tariffs or eligible for exceptions under existing or future trade agreements.
Added
In addition, in response to tariffs announced by the United States, other countries have implemented, and may implement additional, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technology exchanges, and other economic activities between major international economies.
Added
In addition, elevated tariffs or trade restrictions, or the expectation of such changes, could increase inflation or unemployment and reduce consumers' disposable income and spending.
Added
The occurrence of any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. Additionally, we are subject to periodic reviews and audits by governmental authorities responsible for administering import and export regulations.
Added
To the extent that we are unable to successfully defend against an audit or review, we may be required to pay assessments, penalties, and increased duties. Certain of our facilities operate in a special purpose sub-zone established by the U.S.
Added
Department of Commerce Foreign Trade Zone Board, which allows us certain tax advantages on products and raw materials shipped through these facilities. If the Foreign Trade Zone Board were to revoke the sub-zone designation or limit our use, we could be subject to increased duties.
Added
Although we believe that we conduct our business in compliance with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery and economic sanctions laws, if we are found to not be in compliance with such laws or other anti-corruption laws, we could be subject to governmental investigations, legal or regulatory proceedings, substantial fines, and/or other legal or equitable penalties.
Added
This risk increases in locations outside of the U.S., particularly in locations that have not previously had to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), U.K. Bribery Act 2010, Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offenses) Act 2018, and similar laws.
Added
We operate in jurisdictions that could be affected by economic and geopolitical instability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our operations and supply partners could be affected by economic or political instability, embargoes, military hostilities, unstable governments and legal systems, inter-governmental disputes, travel restrictions, terrorist acts, and other armed conflicts.
Added
The global nature of our business involves the following risks, among others: • The U.S. Department of State and other governments have at times issued advisories regarding travel to certain countries in which we do business, causing regulatory agencies to curtail or prohibit their inspectors from traveling to inspect facilities.
Added
If these inspectors are unable to inspect our facilities, the regulatory agencies could withhold approval for new products intended to be produced at those facilities. • As a result of the exit of the U.K. from the E.U. (“Brexit”), which occurred in 2020, we continue to experience uncertainty surrounding certain of our businesses.
Added
While the E.U. and U.K. ratified a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (the “TCA”) that sets forth a framework for cooperation between the E.U. and U.K., including the mutual recognition of GMP inspections of manufacturing facilities for medicinal products, it does not contain wholesale mutual recognition of pharmaceutical regulations and product standards, and the E.U. and the U.K. continue to amend legislation and regulations post-Brexit.
Added
We continue to monitor for divergence between E.U. and U.K. regulations that could negatively impact our supply chain operations or other product development or sales operations. • Moreover, financial volatility and geopolitical instability outside the U.S. may impact our operations or affect global markets.
Added
Refer to “ Risk Factors—Operational Risks —Disruption of our supply chain, including as a result of pandemics, global health crises, or wars or other civil unrest, including war in Ukraine, or in the Middle East, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.” The international scope of our business exposes us to risks associated with foreign exchange rates.
Added
We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our revenues, expenses, assets, indebtedness and other liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies. These currencies include, among others, the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish Krona, Chinese Yuan, Danish Krone, and Polish Zloty.
Added
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including as a result of inflation, central bank monetary policies, currency controls or other currency exchange restrictions have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our financial performance. We may seek to mitigate the risk of such impacts through hedging, but such hedging activities may be costly and may not be effective.
Added
In addition, emerging market economies in which we operate may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, weaker oil and other commodity prices, and large external deficits.
Added
Risks in one country can limit our opportunities for portfolio growth and negatively affect our operations in another country or 26 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A Risk Factors countries. Such conditions or developments could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, we may be exposed to credit risks in some of those markets.
Added
Litigation and Insurance Risks We are and may become involved in lawsuits and may experience unfavorable outcomes of such proceedings.

CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGY Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management program and an area of increasing focus for our Board of Directors and management. We use a risk-based approach to identify, assess, protect, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats.
Added
While management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management, the Board of Directors, is responsible for the Company's overall risk oversight function, including cybersecurity risks. The Nominating & Governance Committee ("NGC") supports the Board of Directors by overseeing cybersecurity risks, policies and objectives.
Added
The Audit Committee supports the Board of Directors in overseeing the framework for risk assessments and enterprise risk management ("ERM") process. The Company’s cybersecurity policies, standards and processes are designed and implemented in light of the requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") frameworks for cybersecurity and privacy.
Added
Recognizing that no single technology, process or business control can effectively prevent or mitigate all risks, we employ multiple technologies, processes and controls, all working as part of a cohesive strategy to minimize risk including the following: • We emphasize security and resiliency through business assurance capabilities and incident response plans designed to identify, evaluate, and remediate incidents when they occur.
Added
We regularly review and update our plans, policies and technologies and conduct regular training exercises and crisis management preparedness activities to test their effectiveness. • Perrigo leverages the NIST cybersecurity framework to measure the capability of its cybersecurity program and we conduct third party assessments to measure the NIST ratings. • We maintain a cybersecurity risk register which is reviewed periodically with relevant stakeholders.
Added
Risks that are higher in impact are included within our Enterprise Risk Register which is reviewed with Executive Leadership and the Board of Directors. • Our processes used to identify, assess, protect, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats are regularly tested by external parties through penetration testing, and other exercises designed to assess and test our cybersecurity health, resiliency and the effectiveness of our program. 32 Perrigo Company plc - Item 1C Cybersecurity • Management invests in organization capability and technology to manage and identify cybersecurity and information security risks.
Added

Added
We have processes in place designed to allow us to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers and suppliers through our Supplier Cyber Risk Assessment process, which assesses third-party cybersecurity controls through a combination of risk assessment questionnaires, commercially available risk data and security rating platforms.
Added
We also include cybersecurity and information security language in our contracts where applicable. We require our suppliers and partners to report cybersecurity incidents to us so that we can assess the impact of such an incident on us and have dedicated processes to respond to cybersecurity incidents at third parties.
Added
We have established processes to contain the impact of potential security incidents on Perrigo's third-party service providers. As of December 31, 2025 , we are unaware of any risks from cybersecurity threats (including previous cybersecurity incidents) that may have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
