Item 8.01 Other Events.
Except where the context otherwise requires, all references in this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) and the related exhibits attached hereto to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar words or phrases are to Bausch Health Companies Inc. and its subsidiaries, taken together.
On August 3, 2021, the Company announced its intentions to conduct an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its aesthetic medical device business, Global Solta (“Solta”) (the “Solta IPO”). In connection with the planned separation of its Solta business into an independent publicly traded entity from the remainder of Bausch Health Companies Inc., the Company has begun managing its operations in a manner which is consistent with the organizational structure of the two separate entities as proposed by the Solta IPO. As a result, during the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, commenced managing the business differently through changes in its operating and reportable segments, which necessitated a realignment of the Company’s historical segment structure. This realignment is consistent with how the Company’s CEO currently: (i) assesses operating performance on a regular basis, (ii) makes resource allocation decisions and (iii) designates responsibilities of his direct reports. Pursuant to these changes, effective in the first quarter of 2022, the Company operates in the following reportable segments: (i) Bausch + Lomb, (ii) Salix, (iii) International (formerly International Rx), (iv) Solta Medical and (v) Diversified Products. The new segment structure does not impact the Company’s reporting units but realigns the two reporting units of the former Ortho Dermatologics segment whereby its medical dermatology reporting unit (Ortho Dermatologics) is now part of the current Diversified Products segment and the Solta reporting unit is now the sole reporting unit of the new Solta Medical segment. All segment revenues and segment profits for the periods presented have been recast to conform to the 2022 reportable segment structure.
We began to report under our new structure effective with the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and with the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on May 10, 2022. This Form 8-K updates and supersedes the information in Items 7 and 15(a)(1) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K") to reflect retrospective application of the new segments and reclassified historical results to conform to the new segment presentation. These adjustments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results, cash flows or equity. Except as specifically provided, the information in this Form 8-K does not reflect any event or development occurring after February 23, 2022, the date we filed the 2021 Form 10-K. For a discussion of events and developments subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, please refer to our filings with the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR since that date. In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, we adjusted the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 to reflect the retrospective application of our new segments. Accordingly, we are filing this Form 8-K so that our annual financial statement information for the three (3) years prior to January 1, 2022 incorporated by reference in any document that we have filed or may file from time to time with the SEC or with the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR would reflect our current segment presentation.
