HALYARD HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.    Accounting Policies
Background and Basis of Presentation
Halyard Health, Inc. is a global business which seeks to advance health and healthcare by preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery. Our products and solutions are designed to address some of today’s most important healthcare needs, namely, preventing infections and reducing the use of narcotics while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We market and support the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of our products with a significant body of clinical evidence. We operate in two business segments: Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) and Medical Devices.
References to “Halyard,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Halyard Health, Inc. References to “Kimberly-Clark” mean Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, other than Halyard, unless the context otherwise requires.
In November 2013, Kimberly-Clark announced its intention to evaluate a potential tax-free spin-off of its health care business (the “Spin-off”). Halyard Health, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in February 2014 for the purpose of holding the health care business following the separation. The Spin-off was completed on October 31, 2014 and Kimberly-Clark’s health care business became Halyard Health, Inc.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 represent our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as an independent publicly-traded company. The condensed combined financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 represent the results of operations and cash flows of Kimberly-Clark’s health care business.
Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to current presentation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of the change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
We completed the required annual testing of goodwill for impairment for our Medical Devices reporting unit using the beginning of the third quarter of 2015 as the measurement date and our analysis indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill for our Medical Devices reporting unit. However, in the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the net book value of our S&IP reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, we are in the process of completing the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the final impairment amount. See Note 2, “Annual Goodwill Impairment Test” for further details.
New Accounting Standards
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-011, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires that inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. This ASU will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The application of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7



In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This ASU provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and the appropriate accounting for such arrangements. Notably, the guidance in this ASU already exists in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 985-605, Software - Revenue Recognition, which is used by cloud service providers to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. This ASU will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted. The application of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU addresses the different balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums under the FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30, Interest - Imputation of Interest. Currently, GAAP recognizes debt issuance costs as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset), which conflicts with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, which says that debt issuance costs are similar to debt discounts and reduce the proceeds of borrowing, thereby increasing the effective interest rate. Accordingly, ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption will be permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Application of this ASU will result in the reclassification of our debt issuance costs of approximately $9 million as of each quarter ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 from other assets to long-term debt.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates ASC Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which, until now, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose transactions and events that were determined to be both unusual and infrequent as extraordinary items. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments (i) prospectively or (ii) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The application of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, that will require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management will assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date. Substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The new standard defines substantial doubt and provides example indicators. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. However, management will need to assess if its plans will alleviate substantial doubt to determine the specific disclosures. This ASU will become effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted. The application of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption prior to interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is not permitted. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new ASU with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new ASU with disclosure of results under old standards. The effects of this ASU on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.
Note 2.     Annual Goodwill Impairment Test
Surgical and Infection Prevention
We test goodwill for impairment annually (as of July 1) or more frequently whenever events or circumstances more likely than not indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. In 2014, upon completion of our goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair value for our S&IP reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 6%. During the course of 2015, the S&IP reporting unit experienced a gradually more challenging competitive landscape, which resulted in price erosion, particularly in the exam glove category, and lower volumes and some market share loss in other S&IP categories. Changes in commodities costs, the competitive landscape and the resulting price erosion have caused us to revise our expectation with regard to future performance for the S&IP reporting unit and have adversely impacted the fair value of our S&IP reporting unit. Consequently, we have concluded that the carrying value of the S&IP reporting unit’s net assets currently exceeds its fair value. Accordingly, we are required to perform, and have started the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the impairment amount.

8



The fair value of our S&IP reporting unit was estimated using a combination of income (discounted cash flow analysis) and market approaches. The income approach is dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods, including assumptions with respect to future sales growth, commodity costs and a terminal growth rate. In addition, a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was used to discount future estimated cash flows to their present values. The WACC was based on externally observable data considering market participants’ cost of equity and debt, optimal capital structure and risk factors specific to our company. The market approach estimated the fair value of our business based on comparable publicly-traded companies in our industry.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation to determine the implied fair value of our S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill (“Step 2”). This process is complex and requires judgment in the development of assumptions that affect the determination of the fair value of the S&IP reporting unit’s individual assets and liabilities, including previously unrecognized intangible assets. Upon completion of Step 2, the amount by which the carrying value of the S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value will be recognized as an impairment loss. Based on our preliminary analysis, the carrying amount of the S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value by approximately $476 million, which has been recorded as an impairment loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement as “Goodwill impairment.” This goodwill impairment does not impact our business operations, compliance with debt covenants or cash flows.
The completion of Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is subject to the finalization of fair values which we expect to complete prior to filing our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the preliminary estimate of the goodwill impairment is reasonable and represents our good faith estimate based on assumptions that are subject to inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that no material adjustments to the preliminary estimate will be required as Step 2 is finalized. Following the completion of Step 2, we will adjust our preliminary estimate if necessary, and record any required adjustment in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Medical Devices
We completed the annual goodwill impairment test for our Medical Devices reporting unit and determined that there was no impairment. The fair value of the Medical Devices reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value of its net assets.

Note 3.    Spin-Off Transition Costs
Completion of the Sale of Disposable Glove Facility
In June 2014, Kimberly-Clark initiated a plan to exit one of the disposable glove facilities in Thailand and outsource the related production to improve the competitive position of the S&IP business. In December 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the disposable glove facility to a third party and received advance cash payments of $8 million before the end of 2014, which were included in “Accrued Expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The net book value of the disposable glove facility was $3 million and was classified as “Assets Held for Sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. We received the remaining $8 million of the sale price when the sale closed in January 2015. The sale resulted in a net gain of $12 million, which was recorded in “Other income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were no remaining accrued expenses related to this plan as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $6 million of costs related to this plan, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $55 million of costs related to this plan consisting of an asset impairment charge of $42 million, accelerated depreciation cost of $7 million and workforce reduction costs of $6 million.
Manufacturing Alignment, Marketing and Rebranding and Incremental Transition Services from Kimberly-Clark
As a result of the Spin-off, we are making changes to our plant and equipment, primarily in North America to align with our manufacturing requirements. These changes will include modifications to certain equipment and the movement of health care equipment from Kimberly-Clark locations to Halyard facilities.

9



We are undertaking efforts to ensure our customers’ transition from the Kimberly-Clark brand to our Halyard-branded products. We have entered into a royalty agreement under which we have access to use the Kimberly-Clark brand for up to 24 months as we manage the packaging changes with global regulatory bodies. Royalties are required to be paid for products sold bearing the Kimberly-Clark brand only. In addition to royalty expense, we expect to incur costs for packaging, marketing and regulatory approval in order to complete this transition.
While building our own capabilities as a stand-alone company, we have entered into transition service agreements with Kimberly-Clark to provide temporary supporting services until we have the necessary resources and infrastructure in place.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 we have incurred $16 million and $46 million, respectively, for the above programs. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 we incurred $35 million and $61 million, respectively, for Spin-off related transaction costs.

Senior Secured Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
The senior secured term loan is under a credit agreement that established credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $640 million, including a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility allowing borrowings of up to $250 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an amount of $75 million and a swingline sub-facility in an amount of $25 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a seven-year senior secured term loan of $390 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets located in the United States and a certain percentage of our foreign subsidiaries’ capital stock.
On April 30, 2015, we made a $50 million principal payment on our senior secured term loan without prepayment penalties pursuant to the terms of the governing loan agreement. We recognized a charge of $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to the write-off of related debt issuance costs and original issue discount. Following this principal payment, quarterly amortization payments are no longer required for the senior secured term loan, resulting in the balance of the loan to be classified as long-term debt.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at Halyard’s option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus 3.25%, or (ii) a base rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, (calculated as the greatest of (1) the prime rate, (2) the U.S. federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (3) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%) plus 2.25%. As of September 30, 2015, the interest rate in effect for the Term Loan Facility was 4.00%.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at Halyard’s option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin initially equal to 2.25% and then, following Halyard’s delivery under the credit agreement of Halyard’s financial statements for Halyard’s fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2015, ranging between 1.75% to 2.50% per annum, depending on Halyard’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin initially equal to 1.25% and then, following Halyard’s delivery of those financial statements, ranging between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, depending on Halyard’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of Halyard’s Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee equal to (i) 0.25% per annum, when Halyard’s consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00 and (ii) 0.40% per annum, otherwise. As of September 30, 2015, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $247 million available for borrowing.
Senior Unsecured Notes
During the third quarter of 2015, we completed an exchange of our senior unsecured notes (“Old Notes”) for senior unsecured notes (“New Notes” and collectively with the Old Notes, the “Notes”) that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The terms of the New Notes are substantially identical to the Old Notes, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act and are not subject to the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Old Notes. The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2022 and interest accrues at a rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
Note 6.    Derivative Financial Instruments
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts as of each September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $3 million and $1 million, respectively and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were not significant.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, gains or losses recognized to earnings were not significant in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the aggregate notional values of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $39 million. Cash flow

12



hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At September 30, 2015, amounts to be reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income during the next twelve months are not expected to be significant. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at September 30, 2015 is September 2016.
Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange hedging instruments are immediately recognized in other income and expense, net. These gains or losses have not been significant for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2015, the notional amount of these undesignated derivative instruments was $59 million.
Note 7.    Fair Value Information
The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts were $3 million and $1 million, respectively as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. These derivatives are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of derivatives used to manage foreign currency risk is based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates.
The following table includes the fair value of our cash, cash equivalents and financial instruments for which fair value disclosure is required (in millions):

Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of our senior unsecured notes is determined using observable market prices based on trading activity on a primary exchange. The senior unsecured notes transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy following registration of the notes under the Securities Act during the third quarter of 2015. In the prior year, there were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2015, debt includes the carrying amount of our senior secured term loan. As of December 31, 2014, debt included the carrying amount of our senior secured term loan and our senior unsecured notes (see Note 5, “Long-Term Debt”). Fair value for the debt was based on observed trading prices in a secondary market.

Prior Year Expense under Kimberly-Clark Equity Incentive Plans
Kimberly-Clark maintains several equity incentive plans in which our executives and employees participated prior to the Spin-off. All awards granted under Kimberly-Clark’s plans were based on common shares of Kimberly-Clark stock and, as such, were reflected in Kimberly-Clark’s consolidated statements of equity and not in our combined statement of invested equity. Prior to the Spin-off, Kimberly-Clark allocated stock-based compensation expense to Halyard for employees of Kimberly-Clark’s health care business that became Halyard employees upon the Spin-off. Stock-based compensation expense charged to us by Kimberly-Clark under their incentive plans was $3 million and $5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Note 10.    Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters, including the matters described below. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark prior to the Spin-off, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters (“Indemnification Obligation”).
The only exception to the Indemnification Obligation relates to the pain pump litigation referenced in this paragraph. We are one of several manufacturers of continuous infusion medical devices, such as our ON-Q PAINBUSTER pain pumps, that are involved in several different pending or threatened litigation matters from multiple plaintiffs alleging that use of the continuous infusion device to deliver anesthetics directly into a synovial joint after surgery resulted in postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis, or a disintegration of the cartilage covering the bones in the joint (typically, in the shoulder) (“Chondrolysis Cases”). Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. While Kimberly-Clark is retaining the liabilities related to these matters, the distribution agreement between us and Kimberly-Clark provides that we will indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any such claims or causes of actions arising after the Spin-off.
As of September 30, 2015, there were two Chondrolysis Cases for which we have an Indemnification Obligation. In Greenway v. I-Flow LLC, No. 1:15-cv-1720 (D. Ohio), filed on August 27, 2015, the plaintiff alleges that he developed chondrolysis from a surgery in November 2007. In Reed, et al. v. I-Flow LLC, et al., 2:15-cv-04454 (E. D. La.), filed on September 16, 2015, the plaintiff alleges that he developed chondrolysis from a surgery in March 2007. We intend to vigorously defend against these matters.
We also have an Indemnification Obligation for, and have assumed the defense of, the matter styled Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative nationwide class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment), negligent misrepresentation, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns. On February 6, 2015, we moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple grounds. On July 10, 2015, the Court issued an order on the motion to dismiss, dismissing the negligent misrepresentation claim but permitting the remaining claims to stand and proceed to discovery. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of the matter.
In June 2015, we were served with a subpoena from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (“VA OIG”) seeking information related to the design, manufacture, testing, sale and promotion of MicroCool and other Company surgical gowns, and, in July, also became aware that the subpoena and an earlier VA OIG subpoena served on Kimberly-Clark requesting information about gown sales to the federal government are related to a United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation. The Company could be subject to litigation relating to this investigation, by either governmental agencies or private parties. If a claim is asserted against Kimberly-Clark relating to MicroCool gowns or other Company surgical gowns, we expect that such a claim would give rise to an Indemnification Obligation under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. The Company is cooperating with the VA OIG’s request and the DOJ investigation.

We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation and competitors may claim that our products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. At any given time we are involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time.
Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously accrued, will not be material, individually or in the aggregate, on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 11.    Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period, as determined using the treasury stock method. The contribution of Kimberly-Clark’s Health Care business to us was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control under Kimberly-Clark. Consequently, we are retrospectively reporting EPS for the prior year using the 46.5 million weighted average shares outstanding as of the Spin-off date for both basic and diluted EPS as no Halyard common stock or dilutive stock-based compensation awards were authorized or outstanding prior to the Spin-off.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 is set forth in the following table (in millions, except per share amounts):

Corporate and Other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $35 million and $61 million, respectively, of spin-off related transaction costs and $6 million and $55 million of costs related to the exit from one of our disposable glove facilities in Thailand.
(c)
Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $9 million of costs related to legal expenses and litigation and a $12 million net gain on the disposal of one of our disposable glove facilities in Thailand.
Note 13.    Related Party Transactions
In the prior year, we utilized manufacturing facilities and resources managed by affiliates of Kimberly-Clark to conduct our business. The expenses associated with these transactions, which primarily relate to production of semi-finished goods for our S&IP business, are included in cost of products sold in our combined income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Following the Spin-off, Kimberly-Clark is not considered a related party.
In the prior year, our combined financial statements include certain expenses of Kimberly-Clark which were allocated to us for certain functions, including general expenses related to supply chain, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the relative percentage of net sales or headcount. The total amount of these allocations from Kimberly-Clark was approximately as follows (in millions):

Note 14.     Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
In October 2014, Halyard Health, Inc. (referred to below as “Parent”) issued the Notes (described in Note 5, “Long-Term Debt”). The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions as defined in the Indenture dated October 17, 2014. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is directly or indirectly 100%-owned by Halyard Health, Inc. Each of the guarantees of the Notes is a

17



general unsecured obligation of each Guarantor and ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future indebtedness and all other obligations (except subordinated indebtedness) of each Guarantor.
The following condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidating statements of income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 provide condensed consolidating financial information for Halyard Health, Inc. (“Parent”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis, the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis and the Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidating basis.
The Parent and the Guarantor Subsidiaries use the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Eliminating entries in the following condensed consolidating financial information represent adjustments to (i) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries and (ii) eliminate the investments in subsidiaries.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our recent performance, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1, “Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A represents the global operations of Halyard and its subsidiaries as an independent publicly-traded company in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and as a combined reporting entity comprising the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s (“Kimberly-Clark”) Health Care business in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The results of operations of our business after our separation from Kimberly-Clark are significantly different than the results of operations of our business prior to the separation. This is due to, among other things, the impact of debt incurred, the impact of our operating as a separate, stand-alone public company and the impact of the various agreements between us and Kimberly-Clark.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The following will be discussed and analyzed:

Overview of Business
Halyard is a global company which seeks to advance health and healthcare by preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery. Our products and solutions are designed to address some of today’s most important healthcare needs, namely, preventing infection and reducing the use of narcotics while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We market and support the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of our products with a significant body of clinical evidence. We have two business segments: Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) and Medical Devices.
Goodwill Impairment
In 2014, upon completion of our goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair value for our S&IP reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 6%. During the course of 2015, the S&IP reporting unit experienced a gradually more challenging competitive landscape, which resulted in price erosion, particularly in the exam glove category, and lower volumes and some market share loss in other S&IP categories. Changes in commodities costs, the competitive landscape and the resulting price erosion have caused us to revise our expectation with regard to future performance for the S&IP reporting unit and have adversely impacted the fair value of our S&IP reporting unit. Consequently, we have concluded that the carrying value of the S&IP reporting unit’s net assets currently exceeds its fair value. Accordingly, we are required to perform, and have started the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the impairment amount.
The fair value of our S&IP reporting unit was estimated using a combination of income (discounted cash flow analysis) and market approaches. The income approach is dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods, including assumptions with respect to future sales growth, commodity costs and a terminal growth rate. In addition, a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was used to discount future estimated cash flows to their present values. The WACC was based on externally observable data considering market participants’ cost of equity and debt, optimal capital structure and risk factors specific to our company. The market approach estimated the fair value of our business based on comparable publicly-traded companies in our industry.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation to determine the implied fair value of our S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill (“Step 2”). This process is complex and requires judgment in the development of assumptions that affect the determination of the fair value of the S&IP reporting unit’s individual assets and liabilities, including previously unrecognized intangible assets. Upon completion of Step 2, the amount by which the carrying value of the S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value will be recognized as an impairment loss. Accounting guidance states that when impairment is probable, but the determination of an impairment loss has not been finalized, an estimate should be recognized as an impairment loss prior to final measurement. Accordingly, based on our preliminary analysis, the carrying amount of the S&IP reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value by approximately $476 million, which has been recorded as an impairment loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 in the accompanying condensed

27



consolidated income statement as “Goodwill impairment.” This goodwill impairment does not impact our business operations, compliance with debt covenants or cash flows.
The completion of Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is subject to the finalization of fair values which we expect to complete prior to filing our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the preliminary estimate of the goodwill impairment is reasonable and represents our good faith estimate based on assumptions that are subject to inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that no material adjustments to the preliminary estimate will be required as Step 2 is finalized. Following the completion of Step 2, we will adjust our preliminary estimate if necessary, and record any required adjustment in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Spin-off Transition Costs
As a result of the Spin-off, we are making changes to our plant and equipment, primarily in North America to align with our manufacturing requirements. These changes will include modifications to certain equipment and the movement of health care equipment from Kimberly-Clark locations to Halyard facilities.
We are undertaking efforts to ensure our customers transition from the Kimberly-Clark brand to our Halyard-branded products. We have entered into a royalty agreement under which we have access to use the Kimberly-Clark brand for up to 24 months as we manage the packaging changes with global regulatory bodies. Royalties are required to be paid for products sold bearing the Kimberly-Clark brand only. In addition to royalty expense, we expect to incur costs for packaging, marketing and regulatory approval in order to complete this transition.
While building our own capabilities as a stand-alone company, we have entered into transition service agreements with Kimberly-Clark to provide temporary supporting services until we have the necessary resources and infrastructure in place.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 we have incurred $16 million and $46 million, respectively, for the above programs.

_________________________________________________
(a)
Corporate and Other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $16 million and $46 million, respectively, of post-spin related transition expenses. Corporate and Other for three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $35 million and $61 million, respectively, of spin-off related transaction costs and $55 million of costs related to the exit from one of our disposable glove facilities in Thailand.
(b)
Other (expense) income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $9 million of costs related to legal expenses and litigation and a $12 million gain on the disposal of one of our disposable glove facilities in Thailand.
Operating Profit - Third Quarter 2015 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2014
Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $461 million compared to operating income of $13 million in the same period last year. The operating loss was driven primarily by the goodwill impairment, which is described under “Goodwill Impairment” above and in Note 2, “Annual Impairment Test” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining decrease is primarily the result of lower sales volume and unfavorable pricing in S&IP, unfavorable currency exchange rates across both segments, stand-alone costs and disynergies from operating as a stand-alone company and higher costs relating to legal expenses and litigation. In the prior year, “Corporate and Other” included $6 million of costs, primarily accelerated depreciation, associated with the exit from one of our disposable exam glove manufacturing facilities that was initiated in the second quarter of last year and $35 million of spin-related costs.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP operating profit decreased 29% to $26 million, compared to operating profit of $37 million in the prior year driven by lower sales volume, unfavorable pricing, unfavorable currency exchange rates, lower fixed cost absorption and higher general expenses primarily related to stand-alone costs.
Medical Devices
Medical Devices operating profit increased 40% to $29 million, compared to operating profit of $20 million in the prior year driven by higher sales volume, manufacturing cost savings and lower general expenses related to reduced intangible asset amortization expense partially offset by higher research and development expenses.
Operating Profit - First Nine Months of 2015 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2014
Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $398 million compared to operating income of $70 million in the prior year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred a $476 million goodwill impairment charge, $46 million of spin-related transition costs partially offset by a $12 million gain realized on the sale of our exam glove manufacturing facility in Thailand compared to $61 million of pre-spin related transaction costs and $55 million of costs related to the exit from our exam glove manufacturing facility in Thailand that were incurred in the prior year.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP operating profit decreased 40% to $71 million, compared to operating profit of $118 million in the prior year driven by lower sales volume, higher distribution costs, unfavorable currency exchange rates and higher general expenses related to stand-alone costs.
Medical Devices
Medical Devices operating profit increased 13% to $87 million, compared to $77 million in the prior year primarily due to higher volume, manufacturing costs savings and lower general expenses related to lower intangible asset amortization expense.

30



Interest Income and Expense
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred interest expense of $8 million and $25 million, respectively, on our senior secured term loan and senior unsecured notes. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we earned $1 million and $3 million, respectively, of interest income.
Provision for Income Taxes
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the provision for income taxes was $2 million and $18 million, respectively, compared to $21 million and $44 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was (0.3)% and (4.2)%, respectively, compared to 152.9% and 59.6%, respectively, in the prior year.

31



Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
In the prior year, Kimberly-Clark provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to us. In North America, our cash balances were swept daily by Kimberly-Clark and we received funding from Kimberly-Clark for most of our operating and investing cash needs. Cash transferred to and from Kimberly-Clark was recorded as intercompany receivables and payables. Upon our separation from Kimberly-Clark, we maintain our own cash management and financing functions for our operations. Following our separation from Kimberly-Clark, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and amounts available under our revolving credit facility, as described below.
Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $75 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $107 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the effects of non-cash impairment charges in both years, net income was lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year, and was partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $57 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $60 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Capital expenditures were $64 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and were primarily associated with our separation from Kimberly-Clark and modifying facilities necessary to operate as a stand-alone company. Capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were partially offset by remaining proceeds from the sale of our exam glove manufacturing facility in Thailand of $8 million.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used $51 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included a $1 million scheduled principal payment, a $50 million prepayment of principal on our senior secured term loan and $1 million to purchase treasury stock partially offset by $1 million of proceeds from stock option exercises. Financing activities used $32 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and was primarily net transfers to Kimberly-Clark.
As of September 30, 2015, debt, including debt payable within one year, was $586 million and consisted of (i) $336 million, net of unamortized discount, on our senior secured term loan and $250 million of senior unsecured notes.
Funds under the revolving credit facility are available for our working capital and other liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2015, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $247 million available for borrowing. See Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, “Long-Term Debt” for further details regarding our debt agreements.
On April 30, 2015, we made a $50 million principal payment on our senior secured term loan without prepayment penalties pursuant to the terms of the governing loan agreement. We recognized a charge of $1 million in the second quarter of 2015 related to the write-off of related debt issuance costs and original issue discount. Following this principal payment, quarterly amortization payments are no longer required for the senior secured term loan, resulting in the balance of the loan to be classified as long-term debt.
During the third quarter of 2015, we completed an exchange of our senior unsecured notes (“Old Notes”) for senior unsecured notes (“New Notes” and collectively with the Old Notes, the “Notes”) that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The terms of the New Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act and are not subject to the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Old Notes. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2022 and interest accrues at a rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
We will incur significant interest expense and financial obligations related to our senior notes, secured term loan and revolving credit facility. We will continue to make capital expenditures to introduce new products, enhance the efficacy, reliability and safety of our existing products and to maximize cost savings.
We believe that our ability to generate cash from operations and our existing available credit facilities are adequate to fund our requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for the foreseeable future.

Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
The preceding discussion and analysis summarizes the factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and our financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those historical condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” or “continue” and similar expressions, among others. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
general economic conditions particularly in the United States,
fluctuations in global equity and fixed-income markets,
the competitive environment,
the loss of current customers or the inability to obtain new customers,

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
With the participation of management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of September 30, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Historically, we have relied on Kimberly-Clark’s financial controls and resources to manage certain aspects of our business and report our results. As a result of the Spin-off, we are in the process of reviewing, revising and adopting policies, as needed, to meet all regulatory requirements applicable to us as an independent, publicly-traded company. While many of these changes in staffing, policies and systems were accomplished prior to September 30, 2015, we continue to review and document our internal controls over financial reporting and may, from time to time, make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness. These efforts may lead to changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than those noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
