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 medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding recovery and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients. We are committed to addressing some of today’s most important healthcare needs, such as reducing the use of opioids while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We operate in two reportable business segments: Medical Devices and Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”). References to “Halyard,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Halyard Health, Inc.
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 and 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, 2016. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
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.
Annual Goodwill Impairment Test
We test goodwill for impairment annually 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. The fair value of our reporting units were estimated using a combination of income (discounted cash flow analysis) and market approaches. Both approaches are dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods, including assumptions with respect to future sales growth, commodity costs and a terminal growth rate. 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. In addition, the market approach estimated the fair value of our business based, in part, on comparable publicly-traded companies in our industry.
We have completed the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of July 1, 2017, and the fair values for both our Medical Devices and S&IP reporting units were substantially in excess of their respective net carrying values.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective July 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, that replaces the existing two-step goodwill impairment test with a simplified one-step process. This ASU provides that goodwill impairment will be measured as the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value and abandons the second step that requires the measurement of goodwill impairment by comparing the implied value of a reporting unit’s goodwill to the goodwill’s carrying amount. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU is intended to improve the financial reporting and presentation of hedging relationships and the economic results of risk management activities in financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 better align risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through

7


changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. In addition, the amendments permit hedge accounting for risk components involving non-financial and interest rate risks and contains other targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted in any interim period following the issuance of this ASU. The provisions of this ASU should be applied to existing hedging relationships as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other presentation and disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU is intended to provide clarity and reduce both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the modification accounting guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Specifically, modification accounting is applied to any changes in stock-based awards unless (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before modification, (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the original award before modification and (iii) the equity or liability classification of the modified award is the same as the original award. This ASU is to be prospectively applied for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. As this ASU is intended to bring consistency in practice but does not change any fair value measurement methodologies, it is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post Retirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires that current service cost be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are to be presented separately in the income statement and below operating income, if operating income is presented. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with retrospective application required. Earlier adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides guidance in evaluating whether transactions involve the acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. A business has been defined as having three elements: inputs, processes and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (a “set”) that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. Additionally, the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. It is expected that this ASU will reduce the number of transactions that are treated as business combinations. This ASU is to be adopted prospectively for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides guidance on the presentation and classification of certain specific cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and is intended to reduce diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but earlier adoption is permitted. This ASU is to be adopted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or an operating lease, with the classification criteria for distinguishing between the two being similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital and operating leases under current GAAP. However, unlike current GAAP, recognition of finance and operating leases on the balance sheet is required, and additional disclosures are required to help financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU requires modified retrospective application for existing leases. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, however, earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will require us to recognize assets and liabilities for operating leases we have entered into for our principal executive offices as well as certain warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities globally. We have not yet determined the impact recognition of such assets and liabilities will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

8


In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the equity investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, equity investments without readily determinable fair values may be measured at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments in the same issuer. In addition, this ASU provides for a qualitative impairment assessment for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. This ASU also clarifies that entities should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This ASU should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The provisions related to equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values should be applied prospectively to such equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which, along with subsequent amendments, 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. ASU 2014-09 provides for a principles-based, five-step approach to measure and recognize revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption for periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application with disclosure of results under old standards. Based on the results of our review to date, we do not expect a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We will continue to evaluate the accounting and disclosure requirements along with any changes, modifications or interpretations that may affect our current conclusion. We expect to apply this ASU using the modified retrospective method.
Note 2.     Subsequent Event - Agreement to Divest the S&IP Business
On October 31, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) by and among us and certain of our affiliates and Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Buyer”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale to Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, of substantially all of our S&IP business, as well as our name “Halyard Health” (and all variations of our name and related intellectual property rights) and our IT system (the “Divestiture”). The total price payable by the Buyer for the Divestiture is $710 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement based on the cash, indebtedness and net working capital transferred to the Buyer and its affiliates at the closing. We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2018.
On or about the closing date, we will enter into certain commercial agreements, including a transition services agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which we and the Buyer, and each company’s respective affiliates will provide to each other various transitional services. The services will generally commence on the closing date of the Divestiture and terminate no later than two years thereafter.
As of September 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities associated with the S&IP business did not qualify for held-for-sale classification and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets held and used. Accordingly, S&IP’s results of operations and cash flows are included in our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

As of each period ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $6 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets that we acquired in connection with an acquisition (See Note 4 - “Business Acquisition”) related to in-process research and development projects. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $5 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $6 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 4.     Business Acquisition
In May 2016, Halyard acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) a Delaware corporation, for a purchase price of $175 million, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”). Medsystems owns and

11


conducts its primary business through CORPAK Medsystems (Medsystems and CORPAK Medsystems hereinafter referred to as “Corpak”).

The pro forma financial information has been adjusted to include the effects of the Acquisition, including acquisition-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, incremental interest expense and related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition taken place as of the indicated date.
Upon Acquisition, we initiated activities to integrate the operations of Corpak into our company. These activities include, but are not limited to, integration of corporate functions, information technology and alignment with our operations. We have incurred costs related to the Acquisition and integration activities, consisting primarily of severance and benefits, consulting, legal and other costs of $1 million and $4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $3 million and $10 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. These costs are included in “Cost of products sold” and “Selling and general expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statements.
Restructuring
In June 2016, we initiated a restructuring plan to close the Corpak corporate headquarters and operating facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and consolidate operations into our existing corporate and operational facilities (the “Plan”). We expect the Plan to be substantially complete when production in Buffalo Grove shuts down by the end of the year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the costs we have incurred related to the Plan were $1 million and $1 million, respectively, compared to $1 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. We have accrued severance and benefits for affected employees and early lease termination costs in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The accrual activity through September 30, 2017 is presented in the table below (in millions):

Note 5.    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.

12


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.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no transfers among Level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations.
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts were not material as of September 30, 2017 and $1 million as of December 31, 2016 and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts as of September 30, 2017 were $1 million. Derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts were not material as of December 31, 2016. 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 financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required (in millions):

Senior Secured Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
The senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) is under a credit agreement that also includes a senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on October 31, 2019 which allows for borrowings 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 together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets located in the United States and a certain percentage of our foreign subsidiaries’ capital stock. Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan Facility using the interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 4.42% as of September 30, 2017.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus 2.75%, 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 1.75%. As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate in effect for the Term Loan Facility was 3.99%.

13


Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin ranging between 1.75% to 2.50% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee equal to (i) 0.25% per annum, when our consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00 or (ii) 0.40% per annum, otherwise.
To the extent we remain in compliance with certain financial covenants in our credit agreement, we have the ability to access our Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The senior unsecured 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. Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the Notes using the interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 6.53% as of September 30, 2017.

Note 8.     Stock-Based Compensation
Aggregate stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2 million and $12 million, respectively, compared to $3 million and $12 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not material in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Expense related to time-based restricted share units was not material in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based restricted share units, for which vesting is conditioned on meeting a defined measure of total shareholder return, was $2 million and $5 million, respectively, for the three and nine

14


months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $2 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Note 9.    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 Corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”) on October 31, 2014, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are generally our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters, as defined by the distribution agreement and to the extent permitted by law and public policy (“Indemnification Obligation”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we have incurred $4 million and $17 million, respectively, related to these matters compared to $5 million and $15 million, respectively, incurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Chondrolysis Litigation
An exception to our 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). Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. Although Kimberly-Clark generally retained 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 action arising after the Spin-off.
Surgical Gown Litigation and Related Matters
Bahamas Surgery Center
We have an Indemnification Obligation for, and have assumed the defense of, the matter styled Bahamas Surgery Center, LLC v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc., No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.) (“Bahamas”), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brought a putative class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment) and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”) in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns.
On April 7, 2017, after a two-week trial, a jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, finding that Kimberly-Clark was liable for $4 million in compensatory damages (not including prejudgment interest) and $350 million in punitive damages, and that Halyard was liable for $0.3 million in compensatory damages (not including prejudgment interest) and $100 million in punitive damages. Subsequently, the court also ruled on the plaintiff’s UCL claim and request for injunctive relief. The court found in favor of the plaintiff on the UCL claim but denied the plaintiff’s request for restitution. The court also denied the plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief.
On May 25, 2017, we filed three post-trial motions: a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law; a motion to decertify the class; and a motion for new trial, remittitur, or amendment of the judgment. The renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law seeks to have the court reverse the jury’s verdict in whole or in part because it was based on insufficient facts and/or did not correctly apply the law. The motion to decertify the class seeks to have the court decertify the class on the basis that the evidence at trial did not support the Court’s initial class certification order and therefore the case should not have proceeded as a class action. The motion for new trial, remittitur or amendment of the judgment seeks, among other relief, to have the court reduce the jury’s punitive damages award because it was not supported by the facts and was excessive in violation of due process under the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has stated that the Constitutional outer limit for the ratio between punitive damages and compensatory damages in cases such as ours is approximately 9 to 1 or lower, and we believe that in a case such as ours that, if there is any award of punitive damages (a premise we dispute), the ratio should be 1 to 1. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of the Bahamas matter.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
We have notified Kimberly-Clark that we have reserved our rights to challenge any purported obligation to indemnify Kimberly-Clark for the punitive damages awarded against them. In connection with our reservation of rights, on May 1, 2017, we filed a complaint in the matter styled Halyard Health, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Case No. BC659662 (County of Los Angeles, Superior Court of California). In that case, we seek a declaratory judgment that we have no obligation, under the Distribution Agreement or otherwise, to indemnify, pay, reimburse, assume, or otherwise cover punitive damages assessed against Kimberly-Clark in Bahamas Surgery Center, LLC, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc., No. 14-CV-08390 (C.D. Cal., originally filed on October 29, 2014), or any Expenses or Losses (as defined in the distribution

15


agreement) associated with an award of punitive damages. On May 2, 2017, Kimberly-Clark filed a complaint in the matter styled Kimberly-Clark Corporation v. Halyard Health, Inc., Case No. 2017-0332-AGB (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware). In that case, Kimberly-Clark seeks a declaratory judgment that (1) we must indemnify them for all damages, including punitive damages, assessed against them in the Bahamas matter, (2) we have anticipatorily and materially breached the Distribution Agreement by our failure to indemnify them, and (3) we are estopped from asserting, or have otherwise waived, any claim that we are not required to indemnify them for all damages, including punitive damages, that may be awarded in the Bahamas matter. On May 26, 2017, we moved to dismiss or stay Kimberly-Clark’s Delaware complaint, and on June 16, 2017, Kimberly-Clark moved for summary judgment. On September 12, 2017, the Delaware court granted our motion to stay Kimberly-Clark’s complaint and therefore did not take any action on Kimberly-Clark’s motion for summary judgment. We intend to vigorously pursue our case against Kimberly-Clark in California and to vigorously defend against their case against us.
Government Investigation
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 2015, we 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. In May 2016 and April 2017, we received additional subpoenas from the DOJ seeking further information related to Company gowns. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ investigation.
Shahinian and Edgett
On October 12, 2016, after the DOJ and various States declined to intervene in two qui tam matters, both matters were unsealed and the complaints were subsequently served on Kimberly-Clark and Halyard, as applicable. One of those matters is U.S. ex rel. Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, No. 2:14-cv-08313-JAK-JPR (C. D. Cal.) (“Shahinian”), filed on October 27, 2014. The other matter is U.S. ex rel. Edgett, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al, No. 3:15-cv-00434-B (N.D. Tex.) (“Edgett”), filed on February 9, 2015. Both cases allege, among other things, violations of the federal and various state False Claims Acts in connection with the marketing and sale of certain surgical gowns. On March 8, 2017, Kimberly-Clark moved to dismiss the Shahinian complaint, and on July 14, 2017, the California court granted Kimberly-Clark’s motion while also granting the plaintiff leave to amend his complaint on or before July 28, 2017. The plaintiff then filed an amended complaint on July 28, 2017. On August 11, 2017, Kimberly-Clark again moved to dismiss the Shahinian complaint. On May 17, 2017, Kimberly-Clark and Halyard moved to dismiss the Edgett complaint. On September 22, 2017, the Texas court granted Kimberly-Clark’s and Halyard’s motions to dismiss. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for the two matters under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark and have notified Kimberly-Clark that we reserve our rights to challenge the obligation to indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any damages or penalties which are not indemnifiable under applicable law or public policy. We intend to vigorously defend these claims.
Kromenaker
On March 17, 2017, the DOJ submitted a filing declining to intervene in another qui tam matter, and the complaint was unsealed and subsequently served on Kimberly-Clark and Halyard. That matter is styled U.S. ex rel. Kromenaker v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc., No. 1:15-cv-04413-SCJ (N. D. Ga.) (“Kromenaker”), filed on December 21, 2015. In that case, the plaintiff alleges, among other things, violations of the federal False Claims Act in connection with the marketing and sale of certain products, including feminine hygiene products, surgical gowns and endotracheal tubes. On June 12, Kimberly-Clark and Halyard moved to dismiss the Kromenaker complaint. On August 21, 2017, Kromenaker filed an amended complaint, and Kimberly-Clark and Halyard filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on September 20, 2017. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for certain parts of this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark and have notified Kimberly-Clark that we reserve our rights to challenge the obligation to indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any damages or penalties which are not indemnifiable under applicable law or public policy. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.
Jackson
We were served with a complaint in a matter styled Jackson v. Halyard Health, Inc., Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al., No. 1:16-cv-05093-LTS (S.D.N.Y.), filed on June 28, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other defendants, asserting claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made misrepresentations and failed to disclose certain information about the safety and effectiveness of our MicroCool gowns and thereby artificially inflated the Company’s stock prices during the respective class periods. The alleged class period for purchasers of Kimberly-Clark securities who subsequently received Halyard Health securities is February 25, 2013 to October 21, 2014, and the alleged class period for purchasers of Halyard Health securities is October 21, 2014 to April 29, 2016. On February 16, 2017, we moved to dismiss the case. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of this matter.

16


Richardson and Chiu
We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled Margaret C. Richardson Trustee of the Survivors Trust Dated 6/12/84 for the Benefit of the H&M Richardson Revocable Trust v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al., No. 1:16-cv-06296 (S. D. N. Y.) (“Richardson”), filed on August 9, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty, were unjustly enriched, and violated Section 14(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act in connection with Halyard Health, Inc.’s marketing and sale of MicroCool gowns. We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled Kai Chiu v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al, No. 2:16-cv-08768 (C.D. Cal.), filed on November 23, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and makes allegations and brings causes of action similar to those in Richardson, but the plaintiff also adds causes of action for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. We intend to vigorously defend these matters.

We were also served with a complaint in the matter styled Medline Industries, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al., No. 2:16-cv-08571 (C. D. Cal.), filed on November 17, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff makes allegations similar to those in Bahamas, Shahinian, and Edgett, and brings causes of action under federal and state false advertising laws and state unfair competition laws. On March 31, 2017 we moved to dismiss certain of Medline’s claims and to transfer any surviving claims from California to Georgia. On June 2, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to Georgia and denied without prejudice our motion to dismiss. On June 30, now before the court in Georgia and with the case re-styled as Medline Industries, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al., No. 1:17-cv-02032 (N. D. Ga.), Kimberly-Clark and Halyard filed renewed motions to dismiss certain of Medline’s claims. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark and have notified Kimberly-Clark that we reserve our rights to challenge the obligation to indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any damages or penalties which are not indemnifiable under applicable law or public policy. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.
Naeyaert
On April 13, 2017, Kimberly-Clark was served with a complaint in the matter styled Christopher Naeyaert v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, et al., No. PSC 1603503 (County of Riverside, Superior Court of California), filed on July 21, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff makes allegations similar to those in Bahamas and brings causes of action similar to those in Bahamas, except the allegations and causes of action relate to the Ultra surgical gown. On June 5, 2017, Kimberly-Clark moved to dismiss the complaint. On August 21, 2017, Naeyaert filed an amended complaint and on September 18, 2017, Kimberly-Clark filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark and have notified Kimberly-Clark that we reserve our rights to challenge the obligation to indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any damages or penalties which are not indemnifiable under applicable law or public policy. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.
Patent Litigation
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 may be 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.
General
While we maintain general and professional liability, product liability and other insurance, our insurance policies may not cover all of these matters and may not fully cover liabilities arising out of these matters. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify our directors and officers against these matters.
Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact our liquidity, access to capital markets or ability to conduct our daily operations.
As of September 30, 2017, we have an accrued liability for the matters described herein. The accrued liability is included in “Accrued Expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our estimate of these liabilities is based on facts and circumstances existing at this time, along with other variables. Factors that may affect our estimate include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in the number of lawsuits filed against us, including the potential for similar, duplicate or “copycat” lawsuits filed in multiple jurisdictions, including lawsuits that bring causes or action or allege violations of law with regard to additional products; (ii) changes in the legal costs of defending such claims; (iii) changes in the nature of the lawsuits filed against us, (iv) changes in the applicable law governing any legal claims against us; (v) a determination that our assumptions used in estimating the liability are no longer reasonable; and (vi) the uncertainties associated with the judicial process,

17


including adverse judgments rendered by courts or juries. Thus, the actual amount of these liabilities for existing and future claims could be different than the accrued amount. Additionally, the above matters, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business and result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention.
Environmental Compliance
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 have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 10.    Derivative Financial Instruments
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts were not significant as of September 30, 2017 and were $1 million as of December 31, 2016, and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts as of September 30, 2017 were $1 million. Derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts were not significant as of December 31, 2016.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, gains or losses recognized in earnings were not significant in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate notional values of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $34 million. Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017, amounts to be reclassified from AOCI during the next twelve months are not expected to be significant. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at September 30, 2017 is September 2018.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. 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, 2017, the notional amount of these undesignated derivative instruments was $35 million.
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 calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is set forth in the following table (in millions, except per share amounts):

Restricted share units (“RSUs”) contain provisions allowing for the equivalent of any dividends paid on common stock during the restricted period to be reinvested into additional RSUs at the then fair market value of the common stock on the date the

18


dividends are paid. Such awards are to be included in the EPS calculation under the two-class method. Currently, we do not anticipate any cash dividends for the foreseeable future and our outstanding RSU awards are not material in comparison to our weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, all EPS amounts reflect shares as if they were fully vested and the disclosures associated with the two-class method are not presented herein.
For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, one million of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted share unit awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 13.    Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
In October 2014, Halyard Health, Inc. (referred to below as “Parent”) issued the Notes (described in Note 6, “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 general unsecured obligation of each Guarantor Subsidiary and ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future indebtedness and all other obligations (except subordinated indebtedness) of each Guarantor Subsidiary.
The following condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the condensed consolidating statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 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 consolidated basis.
The Parent and the Guarantor Subsidiaries use the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation. Eliminating entries in the following condensed consolidating financial information

19


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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“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 and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The following will be discussed and analyzed:
Sale of the S&IP Business
Overview of Business
Results of Operations and Related Information
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Legal Matters
New Accounting Standards
Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Sale of the S&IP Business
On October 31, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) by and among us and certain of our affiliates and Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Buyer”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale to Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, of substantially all of our S&IP business, as well as our name “Halyard Health” (and all variations of our name and related intellectual property rights) and our IT system (the “Divestiture”). The total price payable by the Buyer for the Divestiture is $710 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement based on the cash, indebtedness and net working capital transferred to the Buyer and its affiliates at the closing. We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2018.
The divestiture of the S&IP business accelerates our transformation into a pure-play medical devices business. Our remaining business is expected to undergo a multi-year phased restructuring to address dis-synergies to be eliminated.
On or about the closing date, we will enter into certain commercial agreements, including a transition services agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which we and the Buyer, and each company’s respective affiliates will provide to each other various transitional services. The services will generally commence on the closing date of the Divestiture and terminate no later than two years thereafter.
Overview of Business
Higher sales volume in the Medical Devices business and in exam gloves was partially offset by unfavorable pricing in S&IP, leading to a 1% increase in consolidated net sales for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods last year.
Consolidated operating profit was $29 million and $84 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $21 million and $72 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Items that impacted operating profit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include the following:
Divestiture-related costs: In connection with the Purchase Agreement to sell our S&IP business, we have incurred $8 million of costs, which were primarily consulting and professional services that are included in “Selling and general” expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Costs related to the Divestiture were specifically identified beginning in the third quarter of this year.
Spin-related costs: Spin-related activities had no impact in the three months ended September 30, 2017. However, sales of products bearing the Kimberly-Clark brand exceeded expectations, resulting in a $1 million net benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In comparison, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $7 million and $11 million, respectively, of spin-related transition expenses. Efforts to transition all of our products to Halyard-branded products are substantially complete. Remaining spin-related activities are not expected to have a material financial effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
Acquisition-related costs: In 2016, we completed the acquisition of Corpak and continue to incur costs in connection with the acquisition. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $2 million and $5 million, respectively, of costs for integration activities and restructuring costs as we consolidate Corpak’s headquarters and operating facility in Buffalo Grove,

28


Illinois into our existing corporate and operational facilities. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $4 million and $15 million, respectively, of costs related to the acquisition of Corpak. See “Business Acquisition” in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this report.
Legal matters: We incurred $4 million and $17 million, respectively, of expenses related to certain legal matters in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5 million and $15 million, respectively in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. See “Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this report.
Amortization expenses: In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized amortization expense of $5 million and $16 million, respectively, compared to $6 million and $16 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Results of Operations and Related Information
This section presents a discussion and analysis of our net sales, operating profit and other information relevant to an understanding of our results of operations. This discussion and analysis compares the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the same periods in 2016.

Third Quarter 2017 Compared to Third Quarter 2016
Net sales of $401 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were 1% higher compared to the same period last year. Higher sales volume in Medical Devices was partially offset by unfavorable pricing in the S&IP business.
Medical Devices
Net sales increased 4% over the prior year due to primarily continued volume strength in interventional and surgical pain, and in respiratory health due to a new supply contract for oral care kits with a major group purchasing organization.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
Net sales decreased 1% over the prior year due to price loss partially offset by volume gains, each coming primarily from exam gloves.
First Nine Months of 2017 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2016
Net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 1% higher than last year primarily due to higher volume in Medical Devices and exam gloves partially offset by unfavorable pricing in the S&IP business.
Medical Devices
Net sales increased 8% primarily due to nine months of Corpak product sales in 2017 compared to five months of sales last year and volume in interventional and surgical pain and in respiratory health due to a new supply contract for oral care kits with a major group purchasing organization.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
Net sales decreased by 3% primarily due to unfavorable pricing, particularly in exam gloves, partially offset by higher volume primarily in exam gloves.

______________________________
(a)
Corporate and Other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $14 million and $54 million, respectively, of general expenses, $8 million and $8 million, respectively, of Divestiture-related costs, which were specifically identified beginning in the third quarter of this year (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, “Subsequent Event - Agreement to Divest the S&IP Business”), $2 million and $5 million, respectively, of acquisition-related expenses (See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, “Business Acquisition”) and $0.5 million of income and $0.3 million of costs, respectively, related to Corporate Sales. Corporate and Other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes $16 million and $48 million, respectively, of general expenses, $4 million and $15 million, respectively, of acquisition-related expenses, $7 million and $11 million, respectively, of post spin-related transition expenses and $0.4 million and $4 million, respectively, of costs related to Corporate Sales.
(b)
Other expense includes amounts incurred related to litigation matters. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Third Quarter 2017 compared to Third Quarter 2016
Operating profit increased to $29 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to volume growth in Medical Devices, lower selling and general expenses partially offset by price loss in the S&IP business.
Medical Devices

31


Operating profit in the Medical Devices business increased by 18% due to favorable volume and lower selling and general expenses due to the timing of investment.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP operating profit declined by 21% primarily due to price loss, particularly in exam gloves, partially offset by sales volume in exam gloves and favorable currency exchange rates.
First Nine Months of 2017 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2016
Operating profit increased to $84 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to higher sales volume in Medical Devices and exam gloves, manufacturing savings and favorable currency exchange rates partially offset by unfavorable pricing and higher commodity costs in the S&IP business.
Medical Devices
Operating profit increased 28% primarily due to nine months of Corpak product sales in 2017 compared to five months in 2016, higher sales volume and manufacturing savings.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
Operating profit declined 29% primarily due to unfavorable pricing and higher commodity costs partially offset by manufacturing cost savings and favorable currency exchange rates.
Interest Income and Expense
In each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we incurred $8 million of interest expense on our senior secured term loan and senior unsecured notes. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense was $24 million compared to $25 million in the prior year. In each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense was lower than the prior year primarily due to an amendment in December 2016 to the credit agreement governing the senior secured term loan under which the spread that was charged over the available floating interest rates was reduced by 0.5%, resulting in a weighted average interest rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of 3.76% vs. 4.00% last year on our $339 million senior secured term loan.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $5 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $4 million and $18 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 22% and 25% compared to 28% and 37% in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand provided by operating activities and amounts available under our revolving credit facility. Cash provided by operating activities has been and is expected to remain a primary source of funds. Cash provided by operations has historically generated sufficient cash to fund our investments in working capital and capital expenditures.
As described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and Contingencies,” a jury returned an unfavorable verdict finding Kimberly-Clark liable for $4 million of compensatory damages and $350 million in punitive damages, and that we are liable for $0.3 million of compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. As described in Note 9, we believe the jury verdict will be reduced by the trial court or on appeal to amounts permitted by the U.S. Constitution. Accordingly, we do not believe that the verdict will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. However, if a final, non-appealable judgment were entered that exceeded our current expectations, that may impact our liquidity, require us to pay down a portion of our existing debt, limit our access to our existing revolving credit agreement, or limit our ability to execute merger and acquisition transactions.
As of September 30, 2017, $81 million of our $166 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested overseas and currently have no plans to repatriate such earnings. We do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or result of operations for the foreseeable future. We believe that our ability to generate cash from domestic and international operations and the borrowing capacity under our available credit facilities are adequate to fund our requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other investments necessary to grow our business for the foreseeable future for both our domestic and international operations.

32


Cash and equivalents increased by $52 million to $166 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $114 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase was driven by $80 million of cash provided by operating activities and $3 million of favorable currency effects partially offset by capital expenditures of $31 million.
In the prior year, cash and equivalents decreased by $43 million to $87 million as of September 30, 2016 due to $175 million used to acquire Corpak and $22 million of capital expenditures partially offset by $144 million of cash provided by operating activities and $9 million provided by financing activities which was primarily proceeds from our line of credit facility net of subsequent repayments.
Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $80 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $144 million in the same period last year primarily due to changes in working capital, particularly in inventories and accrued liabilities.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $31 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $22 million in the same period last year. In each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, capital expenditures were made using cash on hand. In the prior year, investing activities also included $175 million used in the acquisition of Corpak. As of September 30, 2017, we had an additional $3 million of capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses that are expected to be paid using cash on hand.
Financing Activities
Financing activities included $2 million paid to purchase treasury stock partially offset by $2 million received from the exercise of stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In the prior year financing activities were composed of $72 million of borrowings from our revolving credit facility to partially fund our acquisition of Corpak and subsequent repayments on the revolving credit facility of $62 million.
As of September 30, 2017, debt was $580 million and consisted of (i) $333 million, net of unamortized discount, on our Senior Secured Term Loan and (ii) $247 million, net of unamortized discount, on our Senior Unsecured Notes. To the extent we remain in compliance with certain financial covenants in our credit agreement, funds under the revolving credit facility are available for our working capital and other liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2017, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, “Debt,” for further details regarding our debt agreements.

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, 2017 and 2016 and our financial position as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 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,

33


litigation and enforcement actions,
price fluctuations in key commodities,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
disruption in supply of raw materials or the distribution of finished goods,
changes in governmental regulations that are applicable to our business,
changes in asset valuations including write-downs of assets such as inventory, accounts receivable or other assets for impairment or other reasons, and
any other matters described elsewhere in this MD&A or in the Risk Factors section of this Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, when evaluating the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result, or be achieved or accomplished.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
With the participation of management, our 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 “Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our 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, 2017.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to sell our Surgical and Infection Prevention business and certain other assets (the “Divestiture”), we face the following risks in addition to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and under “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Item II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and could cause our future results to differ from those in any of our forward-looking statements. Other risks that we do not presently know about or that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us.
Risks Related to the Divestiture of our S&IP Business
We may not realize potential benefits from the Divestiture of the S&IP Business.
There is no assurance that we will realize the potential benefits that we expect from the Divestiture. The Divestiture is expected to provide the following benefits, among others: (i) giving Halyard the ability to focus on strategic and operational plans as a medical devices-only company; (ii) accelerating Halyard’s growth as a medical device company through the resources provided by the Divestiture; and (iii) allowing investors to evaluate the merits, performance and future prospects of Halyard as a growing medical device company.
Following the Divestiture, we may not achieve these and other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others:
the separation of the S&IP business may require significant amounts of management’s time and effort, which may divert management’s attention away from Halyard’s Device business,
the replacement of our information technology infrastructure may result in substantial additional costs and business interruptions,
our business will be significantly less diversified than prior to the Divestiture.
If we fail to achieve some or all the benefits expected to result from the Divestiture, or if such benefits are delayed, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected and the value of Halyard common stock could be adversely impacted.
As we build our information technology infrastructure and transition our data to our own systems, we could incur substantial additional costs and experience temporary business interruption.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we are transferring ownership of our existing information technology infrastructure to the Buyer and replacing such information technology infrastructure to support our critical business functions, including systems relating to accounting and reporting, manufacturing process control, customer service, inventory control and distribution. The replacement process involves technical risks and business uncertainties, including whether we have the technological capacity to replace the system in full and the financial and operational capacity to continue our business during the replacement process. Although we have conducted discreet tests of our ability to conduct the process, such risks remain and there can be no assurance that the replacement process will occur within the anticipated timing, or at all. We may incur temporary interruptions in business operations if we cannot effectively replace our existing transactional and operational systems and data centers and the transition services that support these functions provided to us by the Buyer as we replace these systems. We may not be successful in effectively and efficiently implementing our replacement systems and transitioning our data, and we may incur substantially higher costs for replacement than currently anticipated. In addition, the replacement process may result in (i) disruption to unrelated parts of our business, (ii) loss of employees or customers, (iii) exposure to unanticipated liabilities or (iv) assumption of ongoing obligations and liabilities following the completion of the process. Our failure to avoid operational interruptions, losses of employees or customers, or unanticipated liabilities as we replace our information technology infrastructure effectively and efficiently could disrupt our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Following the Divestiture, we will be required to rebrand the Company and many of our products which will likely involve substantial costs and may not be favorably received by our customers.
Following the Divestiture, we will no longer own the “Halyard Health” brand name, or any variation of the name, logos and related intellectual property rights. We will likely incur substantial costs to rebrand the Company and many of our products worldwide, which also requires regulatory product registration costs. We cannot assure you that our customers will be receptive to our proposed rebranding. A failure in our rebranding efforts may affect our ability to attract and retain customers following the Divestiture, resulting in reduced revenues.

The transition services to be provided to us by the Buyer for a limited time may be difficult for us to replace without operational problems or additional cost.
The Purchase Agreement provides for provision of transition services to us by the Buyer throughout a transition period. After the expiration of the transition services agreement, we may experience operational difficulties and increased costs if we are unable to perform those services or obtain them from a third party on reasonable terms and conditions.
The transition services to be provided by us to the Buyer for a limited time may draw attention and resources away from our ongoing business.
The Purchase Agreement requires our provision of transition services to the Buyer throughout a transition period, which will require significant time, attention and resources of our senior management and other employees within Halyard, potentially diverting their attention from other aspects of our business. We will be bound to comply with the terms of the transition services agreement, and at times compliance with this agreement will consume Halyard’s focus and resources that would otherwise be invested into maintaining and growing our business.
Some of the shared employees who are important to the Device Business will be transferred to the Buyer, which may require us to replace employees and incur consequent additional costs or experience operational difficulties.
We are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of our officers and employees to execute our business plans. The Divestiture will require that we share certain employees with the Buyer during the term of the transition services agreement and the replacement of our information technology infrastructure and that we transfer certain employees to the Buyer both at the closing of the Divestiture and at the conclusion of the information technology process. There may be uncertainty around the duties of our shared employees, which may cause operational difficulties or may cause some of such shared employees to leave Halyard. Transfer of employees to the Buyer may cause loss of institutional knowledge and we may have difficulties finding employees to replace such transferred employees. Current and prospective employees of Halyard may experience uncertainty about their future roles as shared employees or transferred employees, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain talent going forward. Our success during and after the Divestiture will depend in part on our ability to effectively share certain employees, retain key management personnel and integrate future employees. The operational difficulties surrounding our use of shared employees and the loss of knowledge and employees and difficulties in hiring new employees could disrupt our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Following the Divestiture, we may experience increased costs resulting from decreased purchasing power, which could decrease our overall profitability and cash flow.
Prior to the Divestiture, we are able to take advantage of our size and purchasing power in procuring goods, services and technology, such as management information services, health insurance, employee benefits, payroll administration, risk management, tax and other services. Following the Divestiture, we may have to pay higher costs for certain materials used in our products due to a decline in purchasing scale if we are unable to obtain other similar goods, services and technology at prices or on terms as favorable as those obtained prior to the Divestiture.
