Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Baxalta Incorporated:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and combined balance sheets and the related consolidated and combined statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baxalta Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for the classification of deferred income tax balances in 2015.

Separation from Baxter
Baxalta was incorporated in Delaware on September 8, 2014. The company separated from Baxter International Inc. (Baxter) on July 1, 2015 (the separation), becoming an independent company as a result of a pro rata distribution by Baxter of 80.5% of Baxalta’s common stock to Baxter’s shareholders.

Baxter’s Board of Directors approved the distribution of its shares of Baxalta on June 5, 2015. Baxalta’s Registration Statement was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 9, 2015. On July 1, 2015, Baxter’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2015 received one share of Baxalta common stock for every one share of Baxter’s common stock held as of the record date. Baxalta common stock began trading “regular way” under the ticker symbol “BXLT” on the New York Stock Exchange on July 1, 2015.
In January 2016, Baxter exchanged a portion of its retained stake in Baxalta common stock for indebtedness of Baxter held by a third party. The shares of Baxalta common stock exchanged were then sold in a secondary public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed by Baxalta. Immediately following this transaction, Baxter held approximately 13.9% of Baxalta’s total shares outstanding.
Merger Agreement with Shire
In January 2016, the company announced that it had reached an agreement (merger agreement) with Shire plc (Shire) under which Shire would acquire Baxalta, forming a global leader in rare diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Baxalta shareholders will receive $18.00 in cash and 0.1482 Shire American Depository Shares (ADS) per each Baxalta share. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both Shire and Baxalta. Closing of the transaction is subject to approval by Baxalta and Shire shareholders, certain regulatory approvals, receipt of certain tax opinions and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2016.
The merger agreement provides for certain termination rights for both Shire and Baxalta. Upon termination of the merger agreement under certain specified circumstances, Baxalta may be required to disburse to Shire a termination fee of $369 million and Shire may be required to pay the company a termination fee of $369 million. In addition, if the merger agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances following the receipt of an acquisition proposal by Baxalta, Baxalta may be required to reimburse Shire for transaction expenses up to $110 million (which expenses would be credited against any termination fee subsequently disbursed by Baxalta), and if the merger agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances following the receipt of an acquisition proposal by Shire, Shire may be required to reimburse Baxalta for transaction expenses up to $65 million (which expenses would be credited against any termination fee subsequently payable by Shire).
Nature of Business
The principal business of the company is the development, manufacture and marketing of a diverse portfolio of treatments for hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, immune deficiencies, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, burns and shock, and other chronic and acute medical conditions, as well as

oncology treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The company is also investing in emerging technology platforms, including gene therapy and biosimilars.
The company’s business strategy is aimed at improving diagnosis, treatment and standards of care across a wide range of bleeding disorders and other rare chronic and acute medical conditions, capitalizing on the company’s differentiated portfolio, ensuring the sustainability of supply to meet growing demand for therapies across core disease areas, and accelerating innovation by developing and launching new treatments while leveraging its expertise into new emerging therapeutics through acquisitions of and collaborations with others.
The company’s primary manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore and Belgium. The company distributes its products through its own direct sales force, independent distributors and drug wholesalers, and sells to customers throughout the world.
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations of the company as an independent, publicly-traded company for periods after the July 1, 2015 separation. The consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the combined financial position and combined results of operations of the company as a combined reporting entity of Baxter for periods prior to the separation.
During 2015, the company recorded certain separation-related adjustments in its statement of changes in equity, resulting in a net $72 million decrease in equity. The adjustments primarily related to differences in the amount of assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) transferred to Baxalta (transferred items) and the amount of the transferred items reported in the company’s combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. In addition, the company reported separation-related adjustments for deferred hedging gains and pension losses reported in AOCI that were assumed during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Additional separation-related adjustments could be recorded in future periods.
Prior to the separation, the combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from Baxter’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records as if the former biopharmaceuticals business of Baxter had been part of Baxalta. The combined financial statements reflected the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as the business was operated as part of Baxter prior to the separation, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
Prior to the separation, the combined financial statements included the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that were historically held at the Baxter corporate level but which were specifically identifiable or attributable to the company. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the company were eliminated. All transactions between the company and Baxter were considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of the transactions with Baxter were reflected in the combined statements of cash flows in periods prior to the separation as a financing activity and in the combined balance sheet as net parent company investment.
Prior to the separation, the combined financial statements included an allocation of expenses related to certain Baxter corporate functions, including senior management, legal, human resources,
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
finance, treasury, information technology, and quality assurance. These expenses were allocated to the company based on direct usage or benefit where specifically identifiable, with the remainder allocated primarily on a pro rata basis of revenue, headcount, square footage, or other measures. The company considers the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods prior to the separation. However, the allocations may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the company operated as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods prior to the separation.
In periods prior to the separation, Baxalta’s employees participated in various benefit and share-based compensation plans maintained by Baxter. A portion of the cost of those plans was included in the company’s financial statements. However, the combined balance sheets in periods prior to the separation did not include any equity related to share-based compensation plans. As of and prior to December 31, 2014, the company’s combined balance sheets did not include net pension obligations, with the exception of those related to certain plans in Austria. Refer to Note 12 and Note 15 for further description of the accounting for retirement and other benefit programs and share-based compensation, respectively.
Prior to the separation, the company’s equity balance represented the excess of total assets over total liabilities, including the due to/from balances between the company and Baxter (net parent company investment) and AOCI. Net parent company investment was primarily impacted by distributions and contributions to or from Baxter, which were the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to Baxter, including a $4 billion cash distribution made by Baxalta to Baxter in June 2015. In connection with the separation, the company’s net parent company investment balance was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or shareholders’ equity.
Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenues from product sales when earned. Specifically, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For product sales, revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The shipping terms for the majority of the company’s revenue arrangements indicate title and risk of loss pass at delivery. Provisions for rebates, chargebacks to wholesalers and distributors, returns, and discounts are provided for at the time the related sales are recorded, and are reflected as a reduction of sales.

Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents include cash, time deposits, certificate of deposits and money market funds with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the company provides credit to its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. The company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $11 million, $20 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to reserves in countries with operations that have not yet transferred to Baxalta, which were reported in the company’s combined reserves as of December 31, 2014 but not in its consolidated reserves as of December 31, 2015. Refer to Note 17 for additional information regarding operations in countries that have not yet transferred from Baxter to Baxalta.

Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 20 to 50 years for buildings and improvements and from three to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related facility lease (including any renewal periods, if appropriate) or the asset, whichever is shorter. Machinery and equipment includes capitalized software costs, which are amortized on a straight-line
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
basis over the estimated useful lives of the software. The company’s policy is to place construction in process assets in service and begin depreciation when the asset is ready for its intended use.
Depreciation expense was $204 million in 2015, $189 million in 2014, and $168 million in 2013. The company’s accumulated depreciation balance did not significantly change from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. Increases resulting from depreciation expense were offset primarily by disposals of assets that had previously been fully depreciated or impaired and cumulative translation adjustments (CTA).
Gross assets recorded under capital leases and reported in buildings and leasehold improvements and construction in progress were $339 million and $283 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and associated accumulated depreciation was $7 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Acquisitions
Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price of each acquisition is allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of their fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any purchase price in excess of these net assets is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration is recognized at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent considerations are recognized in earnings.
Research and Development
Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. Pre-regulatory approval contingent milestone obligations to counterparties in collaborative arrangements are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Payments made to counterparties on or after regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. Amounts capitalized for such payments are included in other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization.
Acquired in-process R&D (IPR&D) is the value assigned to products under development acquired in a business combination which have not received regulatory approval and have no alternative future use. Acquired IPR&D is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Development costs incurred after the acquisition date are expensed as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval of the related product, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, subject to annual impairment reviews as discussed below. If the R&D project is abandoned, the indefinite-lived asset is charged to expense.
Collaborative Arrangements
The company enters into collaborative arrangements in the normal course of business. These collaborative arrangements take a number of forms and structures, and are designed to enhance and expedite long-term sales and profitability growth. These arrangements generally provide that the company obtain commercialization rights to a product under development. The agreements often
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
require the company make upfront payments and include additional contingent milestone payments relating to the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as royalty payments. The company may also be responsible for other on-going costs associated with the arrangements, including R&D cost reimbursements to the counterparty.
Royalty payments are expensed as cost of sales when they become due and payable. Any purchases of product from the partner during the development stage are expensed as R&D, while such purchases during the commercialization phase are capitalized as inventory and recognized as cost of sales when the related finished products are sold. The company presents upfront payments to collaboration partners as investing activities and milestone payments as operating activities in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows.
Business Optimization Charges
The company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. Employee termination costs are primarily recorded when actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment review annually and whenever indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill would be impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeded the fair value of that reporting unit. For the annual impairment review, the company may elect to complete a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and, if the company determines it is not, then it would not be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. If the company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the company would calculate the fair value of the reporting unit using the present value of estimated cash flows discounted using a risk-free market rate adjusted for a market participant’s view of similar companies and perceived risks in the cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the implied fair value of goodwill is determined by subtracting the fair value of all identifiable net assets other than goodwill from the fair value of the reporting unit, with an impairment charge recorded for the excess, if any, of carrying amount of goodwill over the implied fair value.
Intangible Assets Not Subject to Amortization
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as acquired IPR&D, are subject to an impairment review annually and whenever indicators of impairment exist. Indefinite-lived intangible assets would be impaired if the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset.
Other Long-Lived Assets
The company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating recoverability, the
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level such that the identifiable cash flows relating to the company are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The company then compares the carrying amounts of the assets or asset groups with the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In the event impairment exists, an impairment charge is recorded as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes are calculated on reported pre-tax earnings based on current tax laws. Deferred taxes are provided using enacted tax rates on the future tax consequences of temporary differences, which are the differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and the tax benefits of carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
With respect to uncertain tax positions, the company determines whether the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The liability relating to uncertain tax positions is classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets to the extent the company anticipates making a payment within one year. Interest and penalties associated with income taxes are classified in the income tax expense line in the consolidated statements of income.
In the company’s financial statements for periods prior to July 1, 2015, income tax expense and tax balances were calculated as if the company was a separate taxpayer, although the company’s operations were included in tax returns filed by Baxter. After separation on July 1, 2015, income tax expense and income tax balances represent the company’s federal, state and foreign income taxes as an independent company.
Prior to the separation, Baxalta maintained an income taxes payable to/from account with Baxter. Baxalta is deemed to have settled current tax balances with the Baxter taxpaying entities in the respective jurisdictions. These settlements were reflected as changes in net parent company investment.
As a standalone entity, the company will file tax returns on its own behalf and its deferred taxes and effective tax rate may not be comparable to those in historical periods.
New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the company beginning on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10)—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires that equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. In addition, the ASU requires a qualitative assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values when assessing impairment, the evaluation of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities and certain presentation and disclosures for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, which will be January 1, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, and the company has elected to early adopt on a retroactive basis, which resulted in certain reclassifications to the December 31, 2014 combined balance sheet as further described in Note 14.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which clarifies that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 will be effective for the company beginning on January 1, 2016, and prospective application is required. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about how to account for cloud computing arrangements when such arrangements include software licenses. ASU No. 2015-05 will be effective for the company beginning on January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The standard may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which 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 the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 will be effective for the company beginning on January 1, 2016, and retrospective application is required. Early adoption is permitted, and the company has adopted Accounting Standard Codifications ASC No. 2015-03 effective June 30, 2015. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
expects to be entitled to when products are transferred to customers. In July 2015, the FASB voted to approve a one-year deferral on the original effective date of January 1, 2017; therefore ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for the company beginning on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08), which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and provides additional requirements for the entities with its disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for all disposals beginning on or after December 15, 2014 (with early adoption permitted). The company did not early adopt the new guidance and it was effective for the company for periods beginning with its first interim period ending March 31, 2015. ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the consolidated and combined financial statements upon adoption.

Dividends and Share Repurchase Authorization
On February 23, 2016, Baxalta’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock. The quarterly dividend is payable on April 1, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close business on March 10, 2016. On November 17, 2015, Baxalta’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock. The quarterly dividend was paid on January 4, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 4, 2015. On July 28, 2015, Baxalta’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock. The quarterly dividend was paid on October 1, 2015, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 4, 2015. Pursuant to the merger agreement with Shire, the company is prohibited from declaring a quarterly cash dividend in excess of $0.07 per share.
On July 28, 2015, Baxalta’s Board of Directors also approved a share repurchase authorization which allows the company to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common stock. The company did not repurchase any of its common stock during 2015, and pursuant to the merger agreement with Shire, the company may not repurchase or otherwise acquire its own common stock.
NOTE 4 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The denominator for basic earnings per common share (EPS) is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) is reflected in the denominator for diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income, net income from continuing operations, or income from discontinued operations, net of tax.
On July 1, 2015, Baxter distributed approximately 544 million shares of Baxalta common stock to its shareholders and retained an additional 132 million shares. The computation of basic EPS for periods prior to the separation was calculated using the shares distributed and retained by Baxter on July 1, 2015 totaling 676 million. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted EPS for periods prior to the separation included 5 million of diluted common share equivalents for stock options, RSUs and PSUs as calculated using the treasury stock method as of July 1, 2015, as these share-based awards were previously issued by Baxter and outstanding at the time of separation and were assumed by Baxalta following the separation.
The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares.

The computation of diluted EPS excluded 16 million equity awards for 2015 and 19 million equity awards for each of 2014 and 2013 as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS.

While the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are substantially complete, measurement period adjustments for the acquisitions in 2015 may be recorded in the future as the company finalizes its fair value estimates. Pro forma financial information has not been included because the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, would not have had a material impact on the company’s consolidated and combined results of operations.
ONCASPAR Business Acquisition
In July 2015, the company acquired the ONCASPAR (pegaspargase) product portfolio from Sigma-Tau Finanziaria S.p.A (Sigma-Tau), a privately held biopharmaceutical company based in Italy, through the acquisition of 100% of the shares of a subsidiary of Sigma-Tau. Through the acquisition, the company gained the marketed biologic treatment ONCASPAR, the investigational biologic calaspargase pegol, and an established oncology infrastructure with clinical and sales resources. ONCASPAR is a first-line biologic used as part of a chemotherapy regimen to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As of the acquisition date, it was marketed in the United States, Germany, Poland and certain other countries, and recently received EU approval. The acquired net assets comprised a business based on the acquired inputs, processes and outputs. As a result, the transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The company allocated $794 million of the total consideration to developed technology, which reflected rights to the ONCASPAR product portfolio. The developed technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. Long-term liabilities acquired consist

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 5 ACQUISITIONS AND COLLABORATIONS (Continued)
primarily of deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, includes the value of potential future technologies as well as the overall strategic benefits of the acquisition to the company and its oncology pipeline.
The purchase price allocations described above reflect measurement period adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 as the company substantially completed its estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period adjustments included increases of $13 million, $5 million and $3 million to intangible assets, inventory and long-term liabilities, respectively. The adjustments resulted in a corresponding decrease in goodwill of $15 million. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations.
Historical annual sales for ONCASPAR were approximately $100 million, and the company has recorded ONCASPAR net sales of $87 million from the acquisition date through December 31, 2015. The company incurred acquisition-related costs of $17 million during 2015, which were primarily recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
SuppreMol Acquisition
In March 2015, the company acquired all of the outstanding shares of SuppreMol GmbH (SuppreMol), a privately held biopharmaceutical company based in Germany. Through the acquisition, the company acquired SuppreMol’s early-stage pipeline of treatment options for autoimmune and allergic diseases, as well as its operations in Munich, Germany. The acquired investigational treatments will complement and build upon the company’s immunology portfolio and offer an opportunity to expand into new areas with significant market potential and unmet medical needs in autoimmune diseases. The acquired net assets comprised a business based on the acquired inputs, processes and outputs. As a result, the transaction has been accounted for as a business combination.
The company allocated $179 million of the total consideration to IPR&D, which is being accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The acquired IPR&D primarily relates to SuppreMol’s lead candidate SM-101, an investigational immunoregulatory treatment, which had completed Phase IIa studies at the time of the acquisition. This project was expected to be completed in approximately 5 years as of the acquisition date. The value of the IPR&D was calculated using cash flow projections adjusted for the inherent technical, regulatory, commercial and obsolescence risks in such activities, discounted at a rate of 20%. Additional R&D will be required prior to regulatory approval, and as of the acquisition date, incremental R&D costs were projected to be in excess of $400 million. Other assets acquired included deferred tax assets of $17 million and long-term liabilities acquired included $52 million of deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, includes the value of potential future technologies as well as the overall strategic benefits of the acquisition to the company.
AesRx, LLC Acquisition
In June 2014, the company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in AesRx, LLC (AesRx), obtaining AesRx’s program related to the development and commercialization of treatments for sickle cell disease.
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 5 ACQUISITIONS AND COLLABORATIONS (Continued)
The company made an initial payment of $15 million, and as of the acquisition date may make additional payments of up to $278 million related to the achievement of development and regulatory milestones, in addition to sales milestones of up to $550 million. The estimated fair value of the contingent payment liabilities at the acquisition date was $65 million, which was recorded in long-term liabilities, and was calculated based on the probability of achieving the specified milestones and the discounting of expected future cash flows.
The company allocated $78 million of the total consideration to acquired IPR&D, which was accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, with the residual consideration of $2 million recorded as goodwill. The acquired IPR&D related to AesRx’s sickle cell disease program, which was in Phase II clinical trials at the time of the acquisition, and was expected to be completed in approximately five years. The value of IPR&D was calculated using cash flow projections adjusted for the inherent technical, regulatory, commercial and obsolescence risks in such activities, discounted at a rate of 15.5%. Additional R&D was required prior to obtaining regulatory approval and, as of the acquisition date, incremental R&D costs were projected to be in excess of $40 million.
During 2015, the company decided not to pursue further development activities related to the acquired project. The company recorded a charge of $81 million in R&D expenses to fully impair the acquired IPR&D and a gain of $66 million resulting primarily from the reduction of the fair value of contingent payment liabilities to zero as of December 31, 2015.
Chatham Therapeutics, LLC Acquisition
In April 2014, the company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Chatham Therapeutics, LLC (Chatham), obtaining potential treatments for hemophilia B utilizing Chatham’s gene therapy technology.
The company made an initial payment of $70 million, and as of the acquisition date may make additional payments of up to $560 million related to the achievement of development, regulatory and first commercial sale milestones, in addition to other sales milestones of up to $780 million. The estimated fair value of the contingent payment liabilities at the acquisition date was $77 million, which was recorded in long-term liabilities, and was calculated based on the probability of achieving the specified milestones and the discounting of expected future cash flows. As of December 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of the contingent payments was $74 million, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized in other (income) expense, net within the consolidated and combined statements of income. Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the contingent payment liability.
The company allocated $74 million of the total consideration to acquired IPR&D, which is being accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, with the residual consideration of $73 million recorded as goodwill. The acquired IPR&D primarily relates to Chatham’s hemophilia A (factor VIII) program, which was in preclinical stage at the time of the acquisition and was expected to be completed in approximately 10 years as of the acquisition date. The value of the IPR&D was calculated using cash flow projections adjusted for the inherent technical, regulatory, commercial and obsolescence risks in such activities, discounted at a rate of 12%. Additional R&D will be required prior to obtaining regulatory approval and, as of the acquisition date, incremental R&D costs were projected to be in excess of $130 million. The goodwill, which may be deductible for tax purposes depending on the ultimate resolution of the contingent payment liabilities, includes the value of potential future

technologies as well as the overall strategic benefits of the acquisition to the company in the hemophilia market.
Inspiration / Ipsen Acquisition
In March 2013, the investigational hemophilia compound OBIZUR and related assets were acquired from Inspiration BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. (Inspiration), and certain other OBIZUR related assets, including manufacturing operations, were acquired from Ipsen Pharma S.A.S. (Ipsen) in conjunction with Inspiration’s bankruptcy proceedings. Ipsen was Inspiration’s senior secured creditor and had been providing Inspiration with debtor-in-possession financing to fund Inspiration’s operations and the sales process. Additionally, Ipsen was the owner of certain assets acquired in the transaction.
OBIZUR is a recombinant porcine factor VIII that was approved in the United States in 2014 and in Canada and Europe in 2015 for the treatment of patients with acquired hemophilia A, and is being investigated for the treatment of congenital hemophilia A patients with inhibitors.
The estimated fair value of contingent payment liabilities at the acquisition date was $269 million, based on the probability of achieving the specified milestones, of up to $135 million, and sales-based payments, and the discounting of expected future cash flows. The estimated fair value of contingent payment liabilities was recorded in other long-term liabilities as part of the consideration transferred. As of December 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of the contingent payments was $360 million, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized in other (income) expense, net within the consolidated and combined statements of income. Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the contingent payment liability.
Goodwill of $7 million principally included the value associated with the assembled workforce at the acquired manufacturing facility. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Other intangible assets of $288 million related to acquired IPR&D activities, and the total was accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date. The value of the IPR&D was calculated using cash flow projections adjusted for the inherent technical, regulatory, commercial and obsolescence risk associated with such activities, discounted at a rate of 13%. In 2014, the acquired IPR&D was reclassified as a definite-lived intangible asset following regulatory approval. It is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 15 years.
Collaborations
Precision BioSciences
In February 2016, Baxalta entered into a strategic immuno-oncology collaboration with Precision BioSciences (Precision), a private biopharmaceutical company based in the United States, specializing in genome editing technology. Together, Baxalta and Precision will develop chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies for up to six unique targets, with the first program expected to enter clinical studies in late 2017. On a product-by-product basis, following successful completion of early-stage research activities up to Phase 2, Baxalta will have exclusive option rights to complete late-stage development and worldwide commercialization. Precision is responsible for development costs for each target prior to option exercise. The company will make an upfront payment of $105 million to Precision, which will be recorded as R&D expense in the first quarter of 2016. The company may make additional payments related to option fees and development, regulatory, and commercial milestones totaling up to $1.6 billion, in addition to future royalty payments on worldwide sales. Precision also has the right to participate in the development and commercialization of any licensed products resulting from the collaboration through a 50/50 co-development and co-promotion option in the United States.

Symphogen
In December 2015, the company entered into a research, option and commercial agreement with Symphogen, a private biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Denmark that is developing recombinant antibodies and antibody mixtures. Under the terms of the agreement, the company has options to obtain exclusive licensing rights for three specified proteins in development for the treatment of immune-oncology diseases as well as three additional proteins that may be selected at a later date. Each option is exercisable for a period of 90 days when each protein is ready for Phase II clinical trials. Symphogen is responsible for development costs for each protein until option exercise, at which point Baxalta would be responsible for development costs.
The company made an upfront payment of $175 million in January 2016, which was recognized as R&D expense in 2015 upon entering into the agreement. Each option exercise fee is variable depending on when it is exercised, with a maximum exercise price of up to €20 million for each protein. The company may make additional payments of up to approximately €1.2 billion related to development, regulatory and commercial milestones achieved after option exercise for all six proteins, in addition to future royalty payments.
SFJ Pharmaceuticals Group
In June 2015, the company entered into an agreement with SFJ Pharmaceuticals Group (SFJ) relating to adalimumab (BAX 923), whereby SFJ will fund up to $200 million of specified development costs related to the company’s BAX 923 program, in exchange for payments in the event the product obtains regulatory approval in the United States or Europe. The terms of the agreement include funding limitations of up to $50 million for incurred costs through Phase I development and cumulative spending caps in six month intervals through December 31, 2017. The contingent success payments total approximately 5.5 times the incurred development costs and are payable in annual installments over an approximate eight-year period following the dates of regulatory approval. The development funding from SFJ is being recognized as an offset to R&D expenses as incurred because there is substantive and genuine transfer of risk to SFJ. The R&D expense offset for 2015 totaled $58 million. BAX923 is one of the biosimilars in which the company is collaborating with Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as further described below.
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In September 2014, the company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Merrimack) relating to the development and commercialization of MM-398 (nanoliposomal irinotecan injection), also known as “nal-IRI”. The arrangement includes all potential indications for MM-398 across all markets with the exception of the United States and Taiwan. The first indication being pursued is for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who were previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy. In 2014, the company recognized an R&D charge of $100 million related to the upfront payment. Upon entering into the agreement, the company had the potential to make future payments of up to $870 million related to the achievement of development, regulatory, and commercial milestones, in addition to royalty payments.

CTI BioPharma Corp.
In November 2013, the company acquired approximately 16 million shares of CTI BioPharma Corp. (CTI BioPharma), which was formerly named Cell Therapeutics, Inc., common stock for $27 million. The company also entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with CTI BioPharma to develop and commercialize pacritinib, a novel investigational JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor with activity against genetic mutations linked to myelofibrosis, leukemia and certain solid tumors. At the time the company entered into the agreement, pacritinib was in Phase III development for patients with myelofibrosis, a chronic malignant bone marrow disorder. Under the terms of the agreement, the company gained commercialization rights for all indications of pacritinib outside the United States, while the company and CTI BioPharma will jointly commercialize pacritinib in the United States. Under the terms of the initial agreement, CTI BioPharma is responsible for the funding of the majority of development activities as well as the manufacture of the product. In 2013, the company recognized an R&D charge of $33 million related to an upfront payment. Upon entering into the agreement, the company had the potential to make future payments of up to $302 million related to the achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, in addition to future royalty payments.
In June 2015, the company entered into an amendment with CTI BioPharma Corp (CTI BioPharma). Pursuant to the amendment, the company paid $32 million to CTI BioPharma relating to two contingent milestone payments included in the original agreement. The company obtained certain additional rights relating to manufacturing and supply, and CTI BioPharma committed to spend a specified amount on the development of pacritinib through February 2016, with failure to do so resulting in payments to the company equal to the deficiency.
Coherus Biosciences, Inc.
In August 2013, the company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Coherus Biosciences, Inc. (Coherus) to develop and commercialize a biosimilar to ENBREL® (etanercept) for Europe, Canada, Brazil and certain other markets. The company also has the right of first refusal to certain other biosimilars in the collaboration. Under the terms of the agreement, Coherus is responsible for the development plan, preparation of regulatory filings, and manufacture of the product, subject to certain cost reimbursement by the company. The company can terminate the agreement if certain costs exceed a specific cap. In 2013, the company recognized an R&D charge of $30 million related to its decision to pursue the development of etanercept. Upon entering into the agreement, the company had the potential to make future payments of up to $169 million relating to the achievement of development and regulatory milestones, in addition to future royalty payments.
Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In February 2012, the company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Momenta to develop and commercialize biosimilars. The arrangement includes specified funding by the company, as well as other responsibilities, relating to development and commercialization activities. In 2012, the company recognized an R&D charge of $33 million related to an upfront payment. Upon entering into the agreement, the company had the potential to make future payments of up to approximately $202 million related to the exercise of options to develop additional products and the achievement of technical, development and regulatory milestones for these products, in addition to future royalty payments and potential profit-sharing payments.

Payments to Collaboration Partners
R&D expenses related to payments to collaboration partners were $430 million, $242 million and $80 million during 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Expenses related to upfront payments were $175 million, $100 million and $63 million during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and expenses related to milestone payments were $215 million, $117 million and $15 million during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The remainder primarily related to R&D cost reimbursements. Payments to collaboration partners classified in cost of sales were not significant in 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Unfunded Contingent Payments
At December 31, 2015, the company’s unfunded contingent milestone payments associated with all of its collaborative arrangements totaled $2.1 billion. This total includes contingent payments associated with the SFJ agreement related to development costs funded through December 31, 2015. This total excludes contingent royalty and profit-sharing payments, contingent payment liabilities arising from business combinations, which are further discussed in Note 11, and potential milestone payments and option exercise fees associated with the Symphogen arrangement because they would be payable only if the company chooses to exercise one or more of its options. Based on the company’s projections, any contingent payments made in the future will be more than offset by the estimated net future cash flows relating to the rights acquired for those payments.

The increase in other intangible assets, net during the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to IPR&D acquired in the acquisition of SuppreMol and developed technology acquired in the acquisition of the ONCASPAR business, partially offset by an impairment charge on IPR&D from the AesRx acquisition, as further described in Note 5, amortization expense and CTA.
Intangible asset amortization expense was $53 million and $16 million in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The following table presents anticipated annual amortization expense for 2016 through 2020 for definite-lived intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2015:

NOTE 7 BUSINESS OPTIMIZATION ITEMS (Continued)
During 2015, the company adjusted certain previously estimated business optimization charges resulting in a $17 million benefit. The adjustments were primarily due to lower severance payments than previously estimated from business optimization programs in prior years. The 2015 period also included charges of $5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relating to re-alignment of certain functions. During 2014, the company recorded charges of $2 million in cost of sales, $1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $22 million in R&D expenses (with an additional $8 million recorded in discontinued operations). The charges during 2014 primarily related to re-alignment of certain R&D activities and rationalization of manufacturing facilities. During 2013, the company recorded charges of $5 million in cost of sales, $3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $24 million in R&D expenses (with an additional $101 million recorded in discontinued operations). The charges during 2013 included severance and other non-cash impairment losses associated with the discontinuation of certain R&D programs associated with the vaccines business.

Separation-related adjustments and other included a reduction in the company’s business optimization reserves related to certain liabilities that were not transferred to Baxalta as part of the separation and the impact of CTA.
The reserves are expected to be substantially utilized by the end of 2016. Management believes that these reserves are adequate. However, adjustments may be recorded in the future as the programs are completed.
NOTE 8 DEBT, CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
As of December 31, 2014 and through the date of the senior notes issuance described below, Baxter’s third-party debt and the related interest expense were not allocated to the company as the company was not the legal obligor of the debt and Baxter borrowings were not directly attributable to the company’s business.
Significant Debt Issuances
On June 23, 2015, the company issued senior notes with a total aggregate principal amount of $5 billion. The company used the net proceeds to make a cash distribution of $4 billion to Baxter as partial consideration for the contribution of net assets to the company in connection with the separation, and the remainder was or is intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions. The $4 billion cash distribution to Baxter was made on June 23, 2015.

In connection with this issuance, the company recognized a debt discount of $51 million and deferred issuance costs totaling $8 million, which were recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt. Refer to Note 9 for information regarding interest rate derivative contracts the company has entered into related to the senior notes.
Credit Facilities
In July 2015, the company entered into a credit agreement providing for a senior revolving credit facility that provides the company with access to an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.2 billion maturing in 2020, of which no amounts are currently outstanding. Effective November 12, the company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the credit agreement. The amendment narrows the definition of “Change of Control.” The other material terms of the credit agreement, including covenants, remain unchanged. The facility enables the company to borrow funds on an unsecured basis at variable interest rates, and contains various financial and other covenants, including a net leverage ratio covenant and an interest coverage ratio covenant, as well as events of default with respect to the company. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduces the maximum capacity of this facility. At December 31, 2015, the amount of letters of credit issued was insignificant.
The company also entered into a Euro-denominated senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to €200 million maturing in 2020, with similar terms as the above credit facility, of which no amounts are currently outstanding. Effective November 12, 2015, the company entered into an amendment to this credit facility. Similar to the amendment discussed above, this amendment narrows the definition of “Change of Control.” The non-performance of any financial institution

NOTE 8 DEBT, CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (Continued)
supporting either of the credit facilities would reduce the maximum capacity of these facilities by each institution’s respective commitment.
The company also maintains other credit arrangements, which totaled $80 million at December 31, 2015. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2015.
Capital Lease Obligations
The company leases certain facilities under capital leases. During 2014, the company entered into a leasing arrangement for a new global innovation center in Cambridge, Massachusetts and recorded a capital lease obligation of $263 million. During 2015, the company entered into a leasing arrangement for its corporate headquarters in Bannockburn, Illinois and recorded a capital lease obligation of $41 million. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the company’s total capital lease obligations, including current maturities, were $319 million and $275 million, respectively.

NOTE 9 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
The company does not hold any instruments for trading purposes and none of the company’s outstanding derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The company is exposed to the risk that its earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates relating to its existing debt obligations or anticipated issuances of debt. The company’s policy is to manage this risk to an acceptable level.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The company is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to recognized assets and liabilities, forecasted transactions and net assets denominated in the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Turkish Lira, Russian Ruble, Chinese Renminbi, Colombian Peso and Argentine Peso.
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 9 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY (Continued)
In periods prior to the separation, the company participated in Baxter’s foreign currency risk management program through a central shared entity, which entered into derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency risk associated with forecasted transactions for the entire company, including for Baxalta’s operations. Gains and losses on derivative contracts entered into by Baxter were allocated to Baxalta and partially offset gains and losses on underlying foreign currency exposures. The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments were not allocated to Baxalta’s combined balance sheets. In connection with the separation, the company began entering into foreign currency derivative contracts on its own behalf and has recorded the related fair value on its consolidated and combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The contracts are classified as either short-term or long-term based on the scheduled maturity of the instrument.
Cash Flow Hedges
The company may use options, including collars and purchased options, and forwards to hedge the foreign exchange risk to earnings relating to forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. In December 2014 and during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the company entered into $1.8 billion of forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the risk to earnings associated with movements in benchmark interest rates relating to an anticipated issuance of debt. The total notional amount of the forward-starting interest rate swaps was $550 million as of December 31, 2014. During 2015, in conjunction with the debt issuance described in Note 8, the company terminated the swaps, which resulted in a $37 million net gain that was deferred in AOCI and is being amortized as a decrease to net interest expense over the terms of the underlying debt.
For each derivative instrument that is designated and effective as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and then recognized in earnings consistent with the underlying hedged item. Option premiums or net premiums paid are initially recorded as assets and reclassified to other comprehensive income (OCI) over the life of the option, and then recognized in earnings consistent with the underlying hedged item. Cash flow hedges are classified in net sales, cost of sales, and net interest expense, and primarily relate to forecasted third-party sales denominated in foreign currencies, forecasted intercompany sales denominated in foreign currencies, and anticipated issuances of debt, respectively. The maximum term over which the company has cash flow hedge contracts in place related to forecasted transactions as of December 31, 2015 was 12 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts were $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2015.
In certain instances, the company may discontinue cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions are no longer probable of occurring. As of December 31, 2015, all forecasted transactions were probable of occurring and no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings.
Fair Value Hedges
The company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. These instruments hedge the company’s earnings from changes in the fair value of debt due to fluctuations in the designated benchmark interest rate. For each derivative instrument that is designated and effective as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized immediately to earnings, and offsets the loss or gain on the underlying hedged item. Fair value hedges are classified in net interest expense, as they hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain of the company’s fixed-rate debt.
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 9 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY (Continued)
The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2015. There were no interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges as of December 31, 2014.
Undesignated Derivative Instruments
The company uses forward contracts to hedge earnings from the effects of foreign exchange relating to certain of the company’s intercompany and third-party receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. These derivative instruments generally are not formally designated as hedges, the terms of these instruments generally do not exceed one month, and the change in fair value of these derivatives are reported in earnings.
The total notional amount of undesignated derivative instruments was $209 million as of December 31, 2015.

During 2015, the company assumed pre-tax deferred gains of $43 million related to certain foreign exchange contracts from Baxter, which were recorded in AOCI.
For the company’s fair value hedges, a loss of $4 million was recognized in net interest expense during 2015, as adjustments to the underlying hedged item, fixed-rate debt. Ineffectiveness related to the company’s cash flow and fair value hedges for 2015 was not material.
As of December 31, 2015, $11 million of deferred, net after-tax gains on derivative instruments included in AOCI are expected to be recognized in earnings during the next 12 months, coinciding with

While the company’s derivatives are all subject to master netting arrangements, the company presents its assets and liabilities related to derivative instruments on a gross basis within the consolidated and combined balance sheets. Additionally, the company is not required to post collateral for any of its outstanding derivatives. If the company’s derivatives were presented on a net basis, an asset of $25 million and liability of $1 million would be reported at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
NOTE 10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Securitization arrangement
In April 2015, the company entered into agreements related to its trade receivables originating in Japan with a financial institution in which the entire interest in and ownership of the receivables are sold. While the company services the receivables in its Japanese securitization arrangement, no servicing asset or liability is recognized because the company receives adequate compensation to service the sold receivables.
BAXALTA INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
During 2015, sold receivables were $165 million and cash collections remitted to the owners of the receivables were $98 million. The effect of currency exchange rate changes and net losses relating to the sales of receivables were immaterial.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard for fair value measurements consists of the following three levels:
· Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets that the company has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities;
· Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and
· Level 3—Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the company’s management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following tables summarize the bases used to measure financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated and combined balance sheets:

As of December 31, 2015, cash and equivalents of $1.0 billion included money market funds of approximately $100 million. Money market funds would be considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held, without consideration of transaction costs. The fair values of foreign government debt securities are obtained from pricing services or broker/dealers who either use quoted prices in an active market or proprietary pricing applications, which include observable market information for like or same securities.
Contingent payments related to acquisitions consist of development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. The fair value of development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments reflects management’s expectations of probability of payment, and increases or decreases as the probability of payment or expectation of timing of payments changes. As of December 31, 2015, management’s expected weighted-average probability of payment for development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments was approximately 21%, with individual probabilities ranging from 10%-80%. As of December 31, 2015 the weighted average discount rate used in the fair value estimates was 8.1%.
The fair value of sales-based payments is based upon probability-weighted future revenue estimates, and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectations of timing of payments change.

During 2015, the company recorded $14 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges based on the duration of losses related to three of the company’s investments. During 2014, the company recorded a $45 million other-than-temporary impairment charge to write-down the investment in Onconova common stock to its fair value based on the duration and severity of the loss. The other-than-temporary impairment charges recorded during 2015 and 2014 were reported in other (income) expense, net.
During 2013, the company acquired approximately 16 million shares of CTI BioPharma common stock, which are classified as available-for-sale equity securities, for $27 million. Refer to Note 5 for additional information regarding the CTI BioPharma arrangement.
The company had cumulative unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities of less than $1 million as of both December 31, 2015 and 2014.

related adjustment of $37 million in 2015 for contingent payment liabilities related to foreign exchange losses that were not previously allocated to Baxalta in periods prior to the separation.
In 2014, the company’s additions related to the contingent payment liabilities associated with the acquisitions of Chatham and AesRx. The net loss recognized in earnings and reported in other (income) expense, net primarily related to an increase in the estimated fair value of contingent payment liabilities associated with the 2013 acquisition of OBIZUR and related assets from Inspiration / Ipsen.
Book Values and Fair Values of Financial Instruments
In addition to the financial instruments that the company is required to recognize at fair value on the consolidated and combined balance sheets, the company has certain financial instruments that are recognized at historical cost or some basis other than fair value. For these financial instruments, the following table provides the values recognized on the consolidated or combined balance sheets and the approximate fair values:

Investments include certain cost method investments whose fair value is based on Level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value of capital lease obligations is based on Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair values of long-term debt were computed by multiplying price by the notional amount of the respective debt instrument. Price is calculated using the stated terms of the respective debt instrument and yield curves commensurate with the company’s credit risk. The discount factors used in the calculations reflect the non-performance risk of the company. The carrying values of the other financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of most of these assets and liabilities.
During 2015 and 2014, the company recorded $31 million and $64 million of income in other (income) expense, net related to equity method investments, which primarily represented realized gains from funds that sold portfolio companies in both periods, as well as gains from the sale of certain investments in 2015 and 2014.

Limited Partnership Commitments
The company has unfunded commitments of $79 million as a limited partner in various equity investments as of December 31, 2015.
Indemnifications
During the normal course of business, the company enters into indemnities, commitments and guarantees pursuant to which the company may be required to make payments related to specific transactions. In addition, the company indemnifies its directors and officers for certain losses and expenses upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential for future payments that the company could be obligated to make. To help address some of these risks, the company maintains various insurance coverages. Based on experience and evaluation of the agreements, the company does not believe that any significant payments related to its indemnities will occur, and therefore the company has not recorded any associated liabilities, other than for certain tax-related indemnifications described in Note 14.
Other Contingencies
The company has other contingencies associated with its collaborative arrangements, as further discussed in Note 5, and legal contingencies, as further discussed in Note 16.
NOTE 12 RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS
Shared Baxter Plans Prior to the Separation
Prior to the transfer of net pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plan obligations discussed below and with the exception of certain Austrian defined benefit pension plans, of which Baxalta was the sole sponsor prior to any transfers, the company’s employees participated in certain U.S. and international defined benefit pension and OPEB plans sponsored by Baxter. These plans included participants of Baxter’s other businesses and were accounted for as multiemployer plans in the company’s combined financial statements prior to the transfer into newly-created plans sponsored by Baxalta. As a result, no asset or liability was recorded by the company in its combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 to recognize the funded status of these plans. The costs of these plans were allocated to the company and recorded in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses in the combined statements of income. For the Baxter sponsored defined benefit pension and OPEB plans, Baxalta recorded expense of $16 million, $37 million and $45 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, relating to Baxalta employees’ participation in Baxter sponsored plans.
The company has been the sole sponsor for certain Austrian defined benefit plans prior to the separation and has accounted for the Austrian defined benefit plans as single employer plans for the periods presented below.

NOTE 12 RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS (Continued)
Impact of Separation
During the second quarter of 2015, Baxalta assumed certain pension and OPEB obligations and plan assets related to newly-created single employer plans for Baxalta employees, as well as pension obligations and plan assets associated with its employees who participated in certain plans that split following the separation. The company accounted for certain plans with delayed split dates as multiple-employer plans beginning in the second quarter of 2015 because the company was responsible for its employees retiring during the interim period.
The assumed pension obligations related to plans in the United States generally related to only active employees who transferred to Baxalta in connection with the separation. The company generally did not assume obligations associated with retired or otherwise inactive employees in the United States.
Reconciliation of Pension and OPEB Plan Obligations, Assets and Funded Status

NOTE 12 RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS (Continued)
Foreign exchange and other during 2015 includes approximately $9 million of benefit obligations associated with the Austrian plans that were transferred from the company to Baxter. The assumption of benefit obligations and plan assets from Baxter include adjustments recorded during the second half of 2015.
Accumulated Benefit Obligation Information
The pension obligation information in the table above represents the projected benefit obligation (PBO). The PBO incorporates assumptions relating to future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is the same as the PBO except that it includes no assumptions relating to future compensation levels. The ABO for all of the company’s U.S. pension plans was $315 million at the December 31, 2015 measurement date. The ABO for all of the company’s International pension plans was $343 million and $133 million at the December 31, 2015 and 2014 measurement dates, respectively.
The information in the funded status table above represents the totals for all of the company’s pension plans. The following is information relating to the individual plans in the funded status table above that have an ABO in excess of plan assets.

The company establishes the expected return on plan assets assumption primarily based on a review of historical compound average asset returns, both company-specific and relating to the broad market (based on the company’s asset allocation), as well as an analysis of current market and economic information and future expectations. The company plans to use a 7.00% assumption for its funded U.S. plan for 2016.

Pension Plan Assets
A benefits committee of members of senior management is responsible for supervising, monitoring and evaluating the invested assets of the company’s funded pension plans. The benefits committee, which meets at least quarterly, abides by documented policies and procedures relating to investment goals, targeted asset allocations, risk management practices, allowable and prohibited investment

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 12 RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS (Continued)
holdings, diversification, use of derivatives, the relationship between plan assets and benefit obligations, and other relevant factors and considerations. In the United States, the benefits committee has hired an outsourced chief investment officer (oCIO) provider, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, to perform the day-to-day management of pension assets.
The benefits committee’s documented policies and procedures include the following:
· Ability to pay all benefits when due;
· Targeted long-term performance expectations relative to applicable market indices, such as Standard & Poor’s, Russell, MSCI EAFE, and other indices;
· Targeted asset allocation percentage ranges (summarized below), and periodic reviews of these allocations;
· Specified investment holding and transaction prohibitions (for example, private placements or other restricted securities, securities that are not traded in a sufficiently active market, short sales, certain derivatives, commodities and margin transactions);
· Specified portfolio percentage limits on holdings in a single corporate or other entity (generally 5%, except for holdings in U.S. government or agency securities);
· Specified average credit quality for the fixed-income securities portfolio (at least A- by Standard & Poor’s or A3 by Moody’s);
· Specified portfolio percentage limits on foreign holdings; and
· Periodic monitoring of oCIO performance and adherence to the benefits committee’s policies.
Plan assets are invested using a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity securities, debt securities and other investments are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and exceed the planned benchmark investment return. Investment strategies and asset allocations are based on consideration of plan liabilities, the plans’ funded status and other factors, such as the plans’ demographics and liability durations. Investment performance is reviewed by the benefits committee on a quarterly basis and asset allocations are reviewed at least annually.
Plan assets are managed in a balanced equity and fixed income portfolio. The target allocations for plan assets are 75 percent in an equity portfolio and 25 percent in a fixed income portfolio. The documented policy includes an allocation range based on each individual investment type within the major portfolios that allows for a variance from the target allocations of approximately five percentage points. The equity portfolio may include common stock of U.S. and international companies, common/collective trust funds, mutual funds, hedge funds and real asset investments. The fixed income portfolio may include cash, money market funds with an original maturity of three months or less, U.S. and foreign government and governmental agency issues, common/collective trust funds, corporate bonds, municipal securities, derivative contracts and asset-backed securities.
While the benefits committee provides oversight over plan assets for U.S. and international plans, the summary above is specific to the plans in the United States. The plan assets for international plans are managed and allocated by the entities in each country, with input and oversight provided by the benefits committee.

Expected Pension and OPEB Plan Funding
The company’s funding policy for its pension plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet legal funding requirements, plus any additional amounts that the company may determine to be appropriate considering the funded status of the plans, tax deductibility, the cash flows generated by the company, and other factors. Volatility in the global financial markets could have an unfavorable impact on future funding requirements. The company has no obligation to fund its principal plans in the United States in 2016. The company continually reassesses the amount and timing of any discretionary contributions. The company expects to make cash contributions to its pension plans of at

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 22.5% in 2015, 22.6% in 2014, and 20.1% in 2013. As detailed in the income tax expense reconciliation table above, the company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, and foreign taxes that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In addition, the effective tax rate can be impacted each period by discrete factors and events.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 14 INCOME TAXES (Continued)
The benefit from foreign operations reflects the impact of lower income tax rates in locations outside the United States, as well as tax exemptions and incentives in Switzerland, Singapore, and other foreign tax jurisdictions. Earnings outside the United States of $77 million incurred prior to the separation are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested and have an associated income tax of $9 million. Management intends to continue to reinvest all other historical and future earnings in several jurisdictions outside of the United States indefinitely, and therefore has not recognized U.S. income tax expense on these earnings.
The company has received tax incentives in certain taxing jurisdictions outside the United States. The financial impact of the reductions as compared to the statutory tax rates is indicated in the income tax expense reconciliation table above. The tax reductions as compared to the local statutory rate favorably impacted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share by $0.17 in 2015, $0.16 in 2014 and $0.21 in 2013.

In 2015, certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, primarily in connection with the classification of prepaid taxes associated with deferred intercompany profit in inventory from the deferred taxes rollforward. The company has elected to adopt ASU No. 2015-17, as further discussed in Note 2, starting with the period ending December 31, 2015 and retroactively applying to the balances as of December 31, 2014. The company has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new guidance requiring that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Additional reclassifications were made with respect to prior period deferred items to better identify the true nature of these items and to conform with the current period presentation. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 has the effect of reducing short-term deferred income taxes by $215 million, increasing other long-term assets by $14 million, reducing short-term liabilities by

As of December 31, 2015, the company has no material loss or credit carryforwards for U.S. or state tax purposes. As of December 31, 2015, the company had foreign operation loss carryforwards of $50 million and no foreign tax credit carryforwards. The company maintains no material valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets because the company believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be fully realized. The company evaluates the need for valuation allowances on a continuous basis, and as circumstances change, the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets may arise.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $6.4 billion of the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these earnings have been indefinitely reinvested for continued use in foreign operations. If these undistributed earnings are repatriated to the U.S. in the foreseeable future, the company would incur an income tax expense of approximately $2.2 billion, excluding any potential foreign tax credits or future changes in tax law.

Baxalta and Baxter entered into a tax sharing agreement, effective on the date of separation, which employs a tracing approach to determine which company is liable for certain pre-separation income tax items. If a liability arises and is attributable to the Bioscience business, the liability would be allocated to Baxalta. If a liability arises and is attributable to the Medical Device, Renal or Biosurgery businesses, it would be allocated to Baxter.
The table above reflects a reduction of $60 million related to tax periods prior to the separation for which Baxter is the primary obligor. However, under U.S. Treasury Regulations, each member of a consolidated group is jointly and severally liability for the U.S. federal income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated group. Accordingly, with respect to periods in which Baxalta was included in the Baxter consolidated group, Baxalta could be liable to the U.S. government for any U.S. federal income tax liability tax incurred by the consolidated group, to the extent not discharged by any other member.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 14 INCOME TAXES (Continued)
Baxalta will be directly responsible for tax contingencies and related interest and penalties for its newly formed legal entities for periods after separation or in instances where an existing entity was transferred to Baxalta upon separation. As a result, Baxalta has continued to account for these tax contingencies.
If recognized, the net amount of contingent tax liabilities that would impact the company’s effective tax rate is $17 million. The company does not expect that it is reasonably possible that any of its uncertain tax liability positions will be settled in the next twelve months. The company believes adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. Baxalta recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The amounts expensed and the liabilities accrued are immaterial as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. Uncertain tax positions are included as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheets.
In the normal course of business, the company may be audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, and may be periodically challenged regarding the amount of taxes due. As of December 31, 2015, Baxalta entities were not subject to any ongoing income tax audits.
NOTE 15 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
2015 Baxalta Incentive Plan
In connection with the separation, the company adopted the 2015 Baxalta Incorporated Incentive Plan which provides for the assumption of certain awards granted under the Baxter incentive stock programs and provides for additional shares of common stock available for issuance with respect to awards for participants. The 2015 Baxalta Incorporated Incentive Plan initially provided for 91 million shares of common stock for issuance with respect to awards for participants. At December 31, 2015, approximately 39 million shares were available for future awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Nearly all employees are eligible to participate in the company’s employee stock purchase plan. The employee purchase price is 85% of the closing market price on the purchase date. The plan is considered compensatory and related expense recorded by the company was immaterial. The employee stock purchase plan provided for 3 million shares of common stock available for issuance to eligible participants, of which approximately 2.6 million shares were available for future awards as of December 31, 2015.
During 2015, the company issued approximately 0.4 million shares under the current employee stock purchase plan. The number of shares under subscription at December 31, 2015 totaled approximately 1 million.
Impact of Separation from Baxter
Prior to the separation, Baxalta employees participated in Baxter’s incentive stock program and Baxalta recorded costs in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses for its employees’ participation in the program. In connection with the separation, outstanding Baxter equity awards granted prior to January 1, 2015 and held by Baxter or Baxalta employees were adjusted into both Baxter and Baxalta equity awards. Awards granted after January 1, 2015 and certain awards granted during 2014 were adjusted entirely into corresponding awards of either Baxter or Baxalta,

The value of the combined Baxter and Baxalta stock-based awards after the separation was designed to generally preserve the intrinsic value and the fair value of the award immediately prior to separation. In periods following the separation, Baxalta records share-based compensation costs relating to its employees’ Baxalta and Baxter equity awards.

The related tax benefit recognized was $18 million in 2015, $10 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2013.
Stock Options
Stock options have been granted to employees and non-employee directors with exercise prices at least equal to 100% of the company’s share price on the date of grant. Stock options typically have a contractual term of 10 years. The grant-date fair value, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the substantive vesting period.
Stock options granted to employees prior to the separation generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period. In July 2015, the company made a one-time grant totaling 1.6 million stock options to 5 senior executives that cliff-vest 5 years from the grant date. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally cliff-vest one year from the grant date (collectively, stock options with service conditions).
In December 2015, the company granted 2.6 million stock options with both a market based and service condition to certain employees (stock options with service and market conditions). These options vest in 2 years if the company’s share price remains at or above a specified price target for 20 consecutive days during a 2 year performance period.

As of December 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested Baxalta or Baxter RSUs held by Baxalta’s employees of $54 million is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
PSUs
Prior to the separation, Baxter granted certain company employees PSUs that vest based on return on invested capital (ROIC) performance or market conditions. The vesting condition for ROIC PSUs is set at the beginning of each year for each tranche of the award during the three-year service period. Compensation cost for the ROIC PSUs was measured based on the fair value of the awards on the date the vesting terms for each tranche of the award are established and the quoted price of Baxter common on the grant date for each tranche of the award. The compensation cost for these PSUs is adjusted at each reporting date to reflect the estimated probability of achieving the vesting condition.
The fair value of PSUs based on market conditions was determined using a Monte Carlo model. A Monte Carlo model uses stock price volatility and other variables to estimate the probability of satisfying the market conditions and the resulting fair value of the award. The compensation cost is not adjusted for changes in estimated probability of achieving the vesting condition. The following table presents the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the market-condition PSUs, along with their grant-date fair values, during 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 16 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The company is involved in product liability, patent, commercial, and other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the company’s business. The company records a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded. As of December 31, 2015, the company’s total recorded reserves with respect to legal matters were $23 million and were primarily reported in other long-term liabilities.
Management is not able to estimate the amount or range of any loss for certain contingencies for which there is no reserve or additional loss for matters already reserved. While the liability of the company in connection with the claims cannot be estimated and although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a significant impact on the company’s results of operations and cash flows for that period, the outcome of these legal proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s combined financial position. While the company believes that it has valid defenses in these matters, litigation is inherently uncertain, excessive verdicts do occur, and the company may incur material judgments or enter into material settlements of claims.
The company remains subject to the risk of future administrative and legal actions. With respect to governmental and regulatory matters, these actions may lead to product recalls, injunctions, and other restrictions on the company’s operations and monetary sanctions, including significant civil or criminal penalties. With respect to intellectual property, the company may become exposed to significant litigation concerning the scope of the company’s and others’ rights. Such litigation could result in a loss of patent protection or the ability to market products, which could lead to a significant loss of sales, or otherwise materially affect future results of operations.

NOTE 17 AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH BAXTER
Separation-Related Agreements with Baxter
In connection with the separation, the company entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement, transition services agreement and international commercial operations agreement with Baxter.
Under the terms of the manufacturing and supply agreement, Baxalta manufactures certain products and materials and sells them to Baxter at an agreed-upon price reflecting Baxalta’s cost plus a mark-up for certain products and materials. As a result, the company began recording revenues associated with the manufacturing and supply agreement during 2015 that were not recorded during periods prior to the separation. Revenues associated with the manufacturing and supply agreement with Baxter were $71 million during 2015. The company also began purchasing products and materials from Baxter at cost plus a mark-up beginning during 2015. The costs associated with the manufacture of these products were included at cost without a mark-up in the company’s results of operations in periods prior to the separation. The manufacturing and supply agreement did not contribute a significant amount of gross margin or net income to the company’s results of operations during 2015.
Under the terms of the transition services agreement, Baxalta and Baxter provide various services to each other on an interim, transitional basis. The services provided by Baxter to Baxalta include certain finance, information technology, human resources, quality, supply chain and other administrative services and functions, and are generally provided on a cost-plus basis. The services generally extend for approximately 2 years following the separation except for certain information technology services that may extend for 3 years following the separation. During 2015, the company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $65 million associated with the transition services agreement with Baxter.
For a certain portion of the company’s operations, the legal transfer of Baxalta’s net assets did not occur by the separation date of July 1, 2015 due to the time required to transfer marketing authorizations and other regulatory requirements in each of these countries. Under the terms of the international commercial operations agreement with Baxter, the company is responsible for the business activities conducted by Baxter on its behalf, and is subject to the risks and entitled to the benefits generated by these operations and assets. As a result, the related assets and liabilities and results of operations have been reported in the company’s consolidated financial statements. Net sales related to these operations totaled approximately $414 million for the last six months of 2015 following the separation. At December 31, 2015, the assets and liabilities consisted of inventories, which are reported in inventories on the consolidated balance sheet, and other assets and liabilities, which are reported in due to or from Baxter International Inc., net, on the consolidated balance sheet. The majority of these operations are expected to be transferred to the company by the end of 2016.
The company and Baxter also entered into a separation and distribution agreement, tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement and a long-term services agreement in connection with the separation.

Corporate Overhead and Other Allocations from Baxter Prior to Separation
Prior to the separation, the company did not operate as a standalone business and had various relationships with Baxter whereby Baxter provided services to the company. In the financial statements prior to the separation, Baxter provided the company certain services, which included, but were not limited to, executive oversight, treasury, finance, legal, human resources, tax planning, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. The financial information in the combined financial statements in periods prior to the separation did not necessarily include all the expenses that would have been incurred had the company been a separate, standalone entity. Baxter charged the company for these services based on direct and indirect costs. When specific identification was not practicable, a proportional cost method was used, primarily based on sales, headcount, or square footage. These allocations were reflected as follows in financial statements for periods prior to the separation:

Centralized Cash Management Prior to Separation
Prior to the separation, Baxter used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. The majority of the company’s subsidiaries were party to Baxter’s cash pooling arrangements with several financial institutions to maximize the availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes. Under these cash pooling arrangements, cash balances were swept regularly from the company’s accounts. Cash transfers to and from Baxter’s cash concentration accounts and the resulting balances at the end of each reporting period were reflected in net parent company investment in the combined balance sheets. At December 31, 2014, cash and equivalents were not allocated to the company due to Baxter’s centralized approach to cash management.
NOTE 18 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2014, the company entered into an agreement with Pfizer, Inc. to sell its commercial vaccines business and committed to a plan to divest the remainder of its vaccines business, which included certain R&D programs. In December 2014, the company completed the divestiture of the commercial vaccines business and recorded an after-tax gain of $417 million. During 2015, the company recorded a net after-tax gain of $3 million as a result of purchase price adjustments.
In December 2014, the company entered into a separate agreement with Nanotherapeutics, Inc. for the sale of certain vaccines-related R&D programs. The company completed the divestiture in August 2015 and received cash proceeds of approximately $34 million and recorded an after-tax gain of $28 million.
As a result of the divestitures, the operations and cash flows of the vaccines business have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company.
Following is a summary of the operating results of the vaccines business, which have been reflected as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

Concentration of Credit Risk
The company engages in business with foreign governments in certain countries that have experienced deterioration in credit and economic conditions, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Brazil. As of December 31, 2015, the company’s net accounts receivable from the public sector in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy totaled $80 million, of which Greece receivables represented an immaterial balance. The company also has significant accounts receivable related to its Hemobrás partnership in Brazil totaling $207 million at December 31, 2015.
Global economic conditions and liquidity issues in certain countries have resulted, and may continue to result, in delays in the collection of receivables and credit losses. While the company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2015 is adequate, future governmental actions and customer-specific factors may require the company to re-evaluate the collectability of its receivables and the company could potentially incur additional credit losses that materially impact its results of operations.
