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. (formerly Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.) and its subsidiaries, taken together.
During 2017, the Company divested certain businesses. In 2018, the Company began reallocating capital and resources to other businesses. As a result, during the second quarter of 2018, the Company’s 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 second quarter of 2018, the Company operates in the following reportable segments: (i) Bausch + Lomb/International segment, (ii) Salix segment, (iii) Ortho Dermatologics segment and (iv) Diversified Products segment.
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 June 30, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and with the Canadian Securities Administration on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on August 7, 2018. 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, 2017 ("2017 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 28, 2018, the date we filed the 2017 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 Administration on SEDAR since that date. In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018, we adjusted the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 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 years prior to April 1, 2018 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 Administration on SEDAR would reflect our current segment presentation.
