Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $2.85 billion, compared to $2.81 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $43.2 million, or 2%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales for the current quarter were $2.82 billion, compared to $2.76 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $62.7 million, or 2%. Other revenues for the current quarter were $33.3 million, compared to $52.8 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $19.5 million.

The increase in net sales included an increase in the North America segment of 2% and in the Rest of World segment of 5%. Net sales in the Europe segment were essentially flat when compared to the prior year period. Mylan's net sales were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of Mylan's subsidiaries in India, the European Union and Australia. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on current period net sales was approximately $93.6 million, or 3%. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by approximately $156.3 million, or 6%. This increase was primarily driven by new product sales, partially offset by a decrease in net sales from existing products as a result of lower volumes and, to a lesser extent, pricing. Below is a summary of net sales in each of our segments for the three months ended June 30, 2019:

• Net sales from North America segment totaled $1.02 billion in the current quarter, an increase of $22.6 million or 2% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by new product sales partially offset by lower volumes of existing products and, to a lesser extent, pricing. New product sales were primarily driven by sales of Fulphila™ (biosimilar to Neulasta®) and the Wixela™ Inhub™. The volume decline from existing products was due to changes in the competitive environment. The impact of foreign currency translation on current period net sales was insignificant within North America.
  
  
• Net sales from Europe segment totaled $989.6 million in the current quarter, a decrease of $1.0 million, when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily the result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $59.5 million or 6%, and to a lesser extent, pricing on existing products. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation was offset by new product sales, including Hulio™ and the TOBI Podhaler®, and higher volumes of existing products. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $58.5 million, or 6%, when compared to the prior year period.
  
  
• Net sales from Rest of World segment totaled $805.2 million in the current quarter, an increase of $41.1 million or 5% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher volumes of existing products primarily driven by products sold in China and new product sales in Australia and emerging markets. These increases were partially offset primarily by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and, to a lesser extent, by lower pricing on existing products. Overall, net sales from Rest of World were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation by approximately $31.9 million, or 4%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $73.0 million, or 10% when compared to the prior year period.

U.S. GAAP gross profit was $932.6 million and $962.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were 33% and 34% in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were negatively impacted by the incremental amortization from product acquisitions and by expenses related to the recall of Valsartan products, each of which decreased gross margins by approximately 50 basis points. Gross margins were also negatively impacted as a result of lower gross profit for sales of existing products partially offset by the impact from new product sales. In addition, gross margins were negatively affected by approximately 25 basis points as a result of incremental manufacturing expenses, site remediation expenses and incremental restructuring charges incurred during the current period principally as a result of the activities at the Company's Morgantown plant. Adjusted gross profit was $1.53 billion and adjusted gross margins were 54% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to adjusted gross profit of $1.50 billion and adjusted gross margins of 53% in the prior year period.

R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $147.6 million, compared to $206.7 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $59.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures related to the reprioritization of global programs, and higher payments in the prior year period related to licensing arrangements for products in development.

SG&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $668.6 million, compared to $623.3 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $45.3 million. The increase was primarily due to continued investments in selling and marketing activities. Also impacting the quarter was higher share-based compensation expense due to a reduction of approximately $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 related to certain performance-based awards and a decrease in bad debt expense of approximately $28.5 million related to a special business interruption event for one customer in the prior year period.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a net charge of $20.9 million in Litigation settlements and other contingencies, net compared to a net gain of $46.4 million in the comparable prior year period. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized expense of approximately $18.0 million for a settlement in principle related to the modafinil antitrust matter, approximately $30.0 million for a settlement in principle with the SEC in connection with the SEC staff's investigation of the Company's public disclosures regarding its 2016 settlement with the Department of Justice concerning the EpiPen Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, which remains subject to SEC approval, and a gain of $24.8 million for fair value adjustments related to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize a generic equivalent to GlaxoSmithKline's Advair Diskus® and Seretide® Diskus incorporating Pfizer Inc.'s proprietary dry powder inhaler delivery platform (the "respiratory delivery platform"). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $32.7 million for a fair value adjustment related to the respiratory delivery platform contingent consideration. The fair value adjustment was the result of changes to assumptions relating to the timing of product launch along with other competitive and market factors. In addition, the Company recognized a net gain for litigation settlements primarily related to the favorable resolution of certain patent infringement matters.

U.S. GAAP (loss) net earnings decreased by $206.0 million to a loss of $168.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to earnings of $37.5 million for the prior year period and U.S. GAAP EPS decreased from $0.07 in the prior year period to $(0.33) in the current quarter. The Company recognized a U.S. GAAPincome tax provision of $116.4 million in the current year period, compared to a U.S. GAAP income tax benefit of $18.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase primarily relates to tax expense of approximately $129.9 million for a settlement in principle with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to resolve federal tax matters related to the 2015 EPD Business Acquisition (as defined below), including adjusting the interest rates used for intercompany loans and confirming our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are currently in the process of memorializing our closing agreement with the IRS, which we expect to enter into in the third quarter. Adjusted net earnings decreased to $532.8 million compared to $551.5 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EPS decreased to $1.03 from $1.07 in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $596.7 million for the current quarter and $682.7 million for the comparable prior year period. After adjusting for certain items as further detailed in the reconciliation below, adjusted EBITDA was $847.4 million for the current quarter and $866.6 million for the comparable prior year period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Financial Results

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $5.35 billion, compared to $5.49 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $145.8 million, or 3%.

Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $68.2 million, compared to $86.9 million for the comparable prior year period.

The decrease in net sales included a decrease in the Europe segment of 7% and in the North America segment of 2%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Rest of World segment of 4%. Mylan's net sales were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of Mylan's subsidiaries in India, Australia, and the European Union. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on current year net sales was approximately $225.6 million, or 4%. On a constant currency basis, the increase in net sales was approximately $98.5 million, or 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily driven by new product sales, partially offset by a decrease in net sales from existing products as a result of lower volumes and, to a lesser extent, pricing. Below is a summary of net sales in each of our segments for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

• Net sales from North America segment totaled $1.95 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $39.8 million or 2% when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due primarily to lower volumes of existing products, driven by changes in the competitive environment and the impact of the Morgantown plant remediation activities, and to a lesser extent pricing. These decreases were partially offset by new product sales, including Wixela™ Inhub™ and Fulphila™ (biosimilar to Neulasta®). The impact of foreign currency translation on current period net sales was insignificant within North America.
  
  
• Net sales from Europe segment totaled $1.88 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $144.1 million or 7% when compared to the prior year period.

Constant currency net sales decreased by approximately $7.1 million when compared to the prior year period.
  
  
• Net sales from Rest of World segment totaled $1.45 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $56.8 million or 4% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of new product sales, primarily in Australia and emerging markets, and higher volumes of existing products. Increased volumes of existing products was primarily driven by the Company's anti-retroviral therapy franchise. This increase was partially offset primarily by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and, to a lesser extent, by lower pricing on existing products. Overall, net sales from Rest of World were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation of approximately $83.7 million, or 6%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $140.5 million or 10% when compared to the prior year period.

U.S. GAAP gross profit was $1.74 billion and $1.95 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margins, adjusted net earnings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted R&D and as a % of total revenues, adjusted SG&A and as a % of total revenues, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted interest expense, adjusted other income, adjusted effective tax rate, notional debt to Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, long term average debt to Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio target, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency total revenues and constant currency net sales are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Mylan N.V. ("Mylan" or the "Company"). Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. Primarily due to acquisitions and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using adjusted metrics included herein, along with other performance metrics. Management's annual incentive compensation is derived, in part, based on the adjusted EPS metric and the adjusted free cash flow metric. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) pursuant to our Credit Agreements is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company's ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. We also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of "constant currency" total revenues and net sales. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues and net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our net sales and total revenues performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 as well as for total revenues. Also, set forth below, Mylan has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For additional information regarding the components and uses of Non-GAAP financial measures refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of Mylan's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2019 (the "Form 10-Q").

Mylan is not providing forward looking guidance for U.S. GAAP reported financial measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, including changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
