LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS | LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS 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. 2024 Acquisitions During July 2024, Bausch + Lomb, through an affiliate, acquired TearLab Corporation, d/b/a Trukera Medical from its private equity owner, AccelMed Partners, and other shareholders. Trukera Medical, a U.S.-based privately held ophthalmic medical diagnostic company, commercializes ScoutPro®, a point-of-care portable device for precisely measuring osmolarity, the salt content of a person’s tears. This acquisition is expected to expand Bausch + Lomb’s presence in the dry eye market. The acquisition of Trukera Medical has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As of the acquisition date (July 19, 2024), Bausch + Lomb allocated the aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $24 million based on estimated fair values, which included recording $16 million of identifiable intangible assets, $6 million of other net assets and $2 million of goodwill. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included within Bausch + Lomb’s Surgical business. Revenues and operating results associated with Trukera Medical during the period from July 19, 2024 through September 30, 2024 were not material. Pro-forma revenues and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material. 2023 Acquisitions Acquisition of XIIDRA® On June 30, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch + Lomb, Bausch + Lomb Ireland Limited, entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Finance Corporation (together with Novartis Pharma AG, “Novartis”) and, solely for purposes of guaranteeing certain obligations of the acquiring entity under the Acquisition Agreement, Bausch + Lomb, to acquire XIIDRA® (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) and certain other ophthalmology assets (the “XIIDRA Acquisition”). On September 29, 2023, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Bausch + Lomb, through its affiliate, consummated the XIIDRA Acquisition for: (i) an upfront cash payment of $1,750 million, (ii) the assumption of certain pre-existing milestone payments and (iii) potential future milestone obligations. As of the acquisition date, Bausch + Lomb recognized contingent consideration liabilities of $34 million, in the aggregate, related to assumed pre-existing milestones and potential future milestones. The Company reassesses its acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities each quarter for changes in fair value. See Note 6, “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS” for additional information regarding the fair value assessment of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. The XIIDRA Acquisition complements Bausch + Lomb’s existing dry eye franchise that includes eye and contact lens drops from Bausch + Lomb’s consumer brand franchises and novel treatments within its pharmaceutical business such as MIEBO® (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution). The XIIDRA Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included within Bausch + Lomb’s Pharmaceuticals business. As of the acquisition date, Bausch + Lomb allocated the aggregate purchase consideration of $1,753 million based on estimated fair values, which included recording $1,600 million of identifiable intangible assets, $130 million of other net assets, and $23 million of goodwill. See Note 4, “LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS” in the Annual Report for additional information regarding the XIIDRA Acquisition, including further details regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Pro Forma Financial Information The following table presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of the Company and the acquired assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as if the XIIDRA Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions) | 2023 |  |  |  | 2023 |  |
Revenues | $ | 2,302 |  |  |  |  | $ | 6,598 |  |  |
Net loss | $ | (466) |  |  |  |  | $ | (783) |  |  |
Net loss attributable to Bausch Health Companies Inc. | $ | (448) |  |  |  |  | $ | (732) |  |  |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of the Company and the acquired assets. In order to reflect the occurrence of the acquisition on January 1, 2023 as required, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect amortization expense of the identifiable intangible assets acquired, the incremental cost of products sold related to the fair value adjustments associated with the terms of an interim contract to purchase inventory, as embedded within the agreements associated with the XIIDRA Acquisition, elimination of historical impairments and accretion expenses related to historical contingent considerations recorded by Novartis, the recording of new/assumed contingent consideration accretion expense, the additional interest expense associated with the issuance of debt to finance the acquisition and the tax impact of each of the aforementioned adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations would have been had the XIIDRA Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2023. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not a projection of future results of operations of the combined company nor does it reflect the expected realization of any synergies or cost savings associated with the acquisition. Acquisition of Blink® Product Line On July 6, 2023, Bausch + Lomb announced that it had consummated a transaction with Johnson & Johnson Vision, pursuant to which Bausch + Lomb, through an affiliate, acquired the Blink® product line of eye and contact lens drops, which consists of Blink® Tears Lubricating Eye Drops, Blink® Tears Preservative Free Lubricating Eye Drops, Blink GelTears® Lubricating Eye Drops, Blink® Triple Care Lubricating Eye Drops, Blink Contacts® Lubricating Eye Drops and Blink-N-Clean® Lens Drops.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Bausch + Lomb, through an affiliate, acquired the Blink® product line of eye and contact lens drops for an upfront cash payment of $107 million, which was paid on the closing of the transaction. Bausch + Lomb accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The acquired assets are included within Bausch + Lomb’s Vision Care business. See Note 4, “LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS” in the Annual Report for additional information regarding the acquisition of the Blink® product line.
