Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITION | LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITION Licensing Agreements In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into select licensing and collaborative agreements for the commercialization and/or development of unique products. These products are sometimes investigational treatments in early stage development that target unique conditions. The ultimate outcome, including whether the product will be: (i) fully developed, (ii) approved by regulatory agencies, (iii) covered by third-party payors or (iv) profitable for distribution, is highly uncertain. The commitment periods under these agreements vary and include customary termination provisions. Expenses arising from commitments, if any, to fund the development and testing of these products and their promotion are recognized as incurred. Royalties due are recognized when earned and milestone payments are accrued when each milestone has been achieved and payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Acquisition On January 17, 2023, Bausch + Lomb acquired AcuFocus, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company, for an up-front payment of $35 million, $31 million of which was paid in January 2023, with the remaining purchase price to be paid within 18 months following the transaction, less any amounts that are the subject of any indemnification claims. The acquisition was made to acquire certain small aperture intraocular technology for the treatment of certain cataract conditions. Additional contingent payments may be payable upon achievement of future sales milestones. Bausch + Lomb recorded an initial acquisition-related contingent consideration liability of $5 million. As a result of this transaction, recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are Intangibles, net of $28 million, Goodwill of $2 million, other assets of $11 million and liabilities of $2 million.
