ITEM 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 12, 2016, Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the first quarter ended April 2, 2016 (the “Earnings Release”), which was furnished as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 12, 2016. Subsequent to the issuance of the Earnings Release, management determined that there was a misstatement in interim income taxes in connection with the recording of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and estimated goodwill impairment, which was included in the financial information in the Earnings Release. As a result of this misstatement, the Company is reissuing the Earnings Release to correct this information, including the reported GAAP net loss and GAAP diluted loss per share. Although these corrections do not affect the Company’s adjusted results or adjusted guidance as reported in the Earnings Release, the Company is reissuing the Earnings Release in its entirety to avoid any confusion. A corrected copy of the Earnings Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and incorporated herein by reference.

The earnings release contains certain non-GAAP measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation for net sales on a constant currency basis, net sales excluding sales attributable to held for sale businesses, cost of sales, gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, interest expense, net, other expense, net, Loss on extinguishment of debt, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income, diluted weighted average shares outstanding, diluted earnings per share, gross margin, operating margin and operating expenses as a percent of sales within its earnings release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for these non-GAAP measures.

The Company excludes the items listed below in the applicable period when monitoring and evaluating the on-going financial results and trends of its business, and believes that presenting operating results excluding these items is also useful for investors, since it provides important insight into the Company's on-going core business operations on a normalized basis. Management uses adjusted financial data for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of the Company’s business from period to period without the effect of the non-core business items indicated. Management also uses adjusted financial data to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to measure the Company’s performance against those budgets and forecasts on a corporate and segment level.

Reported results were adjusted for the following items:
