Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 5, 2014, Actavis plc (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. A copy of the press release reporting the financial results of the Company is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In its press release, the Company discloses items not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), or non-GAAP financial measures (as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) that exclude certain significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company believes that its inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and trends. The determination of significant charges or credits may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may vary from period to period. The Company uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin as a percentage of adjusted net revenues, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of adjusted net revenues, and adjusted R&D expense are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define non-GAAP net income as consolidated net income / (loss) for such period adjusted for the following net of tax: (i) amortization expenses, (ii) asset impairment charges and losses / (gains) and expenses associated with the sale of assets, (iii) business restructuring charges associated with Actavis’s Global Supply Chain and Operational Excellence Initiatives or other restructurings of a similar nature, (iv) costs and charges associated with the acquisition of businesses and assets including, but not limited to, milestone payments, integration charges, other charges associated with the revaluation of assets or liabilities and charges associated with the revaluation of acquisition related contingent liabilities that are based in whole or in part on future estimated cash flows (v) litigation charges and settlements and (vi) other unusual charges or expenses. We define adjusted EBITDA as an amount equal to consolidated net income / (loss) for such period adjusted for the following (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expenses, (v) losses attributable to non-controlling interest, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) asset impairment charges and losses / (gains) and expenses associated with the sale of assets, (viii) business restructuring charges associated with Actavis’s Global Supply Chain and Operational Excellence Initiatives or other restructurings of a similar nature, (ix) costs and charges associated with the acquisition of businesses and assets including, but not limited to, milestone payments, integration charges, other charges associated with the revaluation of assets or liabilities and charges associated with the revaluation of acquisition related contingent liabilities that are based in whole or in part on future estimated cash flows (x) litigation charges and settlements and (xi) other unusual charges or expenses.

The information in this report (including the exhibits) is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
