2020</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, Perrigo Company plc (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) released earnings for the </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">first</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> quarter ended </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">March&#160;28, 2020</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">. The press release related to the Company&#8217;s earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.1.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures as additional information that it believes is useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the performance of the Company's ongoing operating trends, facilitating comparability between periods and companies in similar industries and assessing the Company's prospects for future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items, such as impairment charges, amortization expense, restructuring charges, and acquisition and integration-related charges, that by their nature affect comparability of operational performance or that we believe obscure underlying business operational trends. The intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within the Company&#8217;s GAAP financial statements and is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP measures the Company provides are consistent with how management analyzes and assesses the operating performance of the Company, and disclosing them provides investor insight into management&#8217;s view of the business. Management uses these adjusted financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods, and evaluating segment and overall operating performance. In addition, management uses certain of the profit measures as factors in determining compensation.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Non-GAAP measures related to profit measurements, which include adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors as they provide them with supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company&#8217;s underlying business performance and trends, and enhance the ability of investors and analysts to compare the Company&#8217;s period-to-period financial results. Management believes that adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors, in addition to the reasons discussed above, by allowing them to more easily compare and analyze trends in the Company&#8217;s peer business group and assisting them in comparing the Company&#8217;s overall performance to that of its competitors. The Company discloses adjusted net sales growth excluding exited businesses, which includes the divested animal health business and the Canoderm prescription product, as well as on a constant currency basis and on an organic basis, which excludes the 2019 acquisition of Ranir, exited businesses and the impact of currency. These adjustments together help investors understand the business on both a continuing and going-forward basis without the exogenous impact of foreign exchange. The Company believes these supplemental financial measures provide investors with consistency in financial reporting, enabling meaningful comparisons of past, present and future underlying operating results, and also facilitate comparison of the Company&#8217;s operating performance to the operating performance of its competitors.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Reported results for the periods below were adjusted for the following items:</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Three Months Ended March 28, 2020</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"> Results</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;

ITEM 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On
April 30, 2020
, Perrigo Company plc (the "Company") released earnings for the
first
quarter ended
March 28, 2020
. The press release related to the Company's earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures as additional information that it believes is useful to investors and analysts in evaluating the performance of the Company's ongoing operating trends, facilitating comparability between periods and companies in similar industries and assessing the Company's prospects for future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items, such as impairment charges, amortization expense, restructuring charges, and acquisition and integration-related charges, that by their nature affect comparability of operational performance or that we believe obscure underlying business operational trends. The intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within the Company's GAAP financial statements and is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP measures the Company provides are consistent with how management analyzes and assesses the operating performance of the Company, and disclosing them provides investor insight into management's view of the business. Management uses these adjusted financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods, and evaluating segment and overall operating performance. In addition, management uses certain of the profit measures as factors in determining compensation.
Non-GAAP measures related to profit measurements, which include adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors as they provide them with supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Company's underlying business performance and trends, and enhance the ability of investors and analysts to compare the Company's period-to-period financial results. Management believes that adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors, in addition to the reasons discussed above, by allowing them to more easily compare and analyze trends in the Company's peer business group and assisting them in comparing the Company's overall performance to that of its competitors. The Company discloses adjusted net sales growth excluding exited businesses, which includes the divested animal health business and the Canoderm prescription product, as well as on a constant currency basis and on an organic basis, which excludes the 2019 acquisition of Ranir, exited businesses and the impact of currency. These adjustments together help investors understand the business on both a continuing and going-forward basis without the exogenous impact of foreign exchange. The Company believes these supplemental financial measures provide investors with consistency in financial reporting, enabling meaningful comparisons of past, present and future underlying operating results, and also facilitate comparison of the Company's operating performance to the operating performance of its competitors.
