QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

 

Rajiv Malik - Mylan N.V. - President & Executive Director

The second, we are also taking this time, while I can — just give me one more minute on business transformation. So look into our SG&A investments. We have looked into SG&A investment from product-by-product basis, means which products respond to SG&A focus or which products are not responding to SG&A. And that also had helped us a little bit rationalize [investment] or increase of focus on certain products which are responding to. So that has seen a little bit of impact on lighter SG&A. And the third, we have also taken this opportunity to even rationalize our R&D pipeline. We didn’t see — I think that we have been now more prudent and diligent and not investing on the products if it doesn’t make sense from a return on investment point of view. So some of those rationalization has led to a lighter R&D spend.

 

 

Kenneth S. Parks - Mylan N.V. - CFO

So — can I add on to that? So just as you guys think about it, as you’re thinking about — as we’re going to come out with you — to you and talk to you about transformation and transformation-specific metrics that you think about building out as we move into 2020, then that will parlay into the Newco, Viatris. Just think about what Rajiv just said. So as you even saw the third results, one of the things that you saw was a little bit lighter SG&A than maybe everybody was anticipating. And gross margin is a little bit lighter than people were anticipating. But the bottom line being exactly where we thought it was going to be and maybe even a little bit better. Some of that, as Rajiv points out, is due to the fact that as we move from the beginning of the year through the end of the year, we’re actually starting to implement these initiatives, where we’re saying, okay, if the product isn’t responding to the sales and marketing investment or if we’ve now identified categories of product that are less responsive, we’re making adjustments in that investment level. So we’re confident in the bottom line. You may see a little bit of movement between lines on the SG&A and the gross margin. R&D we’ll continue to invest in at the, call it, 4.5%, 5.5% rate. But it may be prioritized a little bit differently.

Got it. So as we think about the GAAP numbers post 2020, should we expect to sustain fairly positive GAAP EPS? Because restructuring is coming down and clean energy is coming down. I realize there will be some restructuring for Upjohn, but how should we think about that?

 

 

Kenneth S. Parks - Mylan N.V. - CFO

Yes, if you’re talking about Mylan stand-alone, because clearly, we’d want to look at Viatris separately as that business comes together and what is going to happen. Certainly, we would anticipate that the difference, the gap between GAAP to non-GAAP continues to mitigate as things go away like legal settlements because that’s one of the things between the 2; as you look at restructuring, which is one of the things between the 2; other variable items that are between the 2. We still on a GAAP to non-GAAP basis — and you asked about on the last earnings call, the depreciation and amortization, that continues to decline as the passage of time from the acquisition occurs. So based upon all those dynamics, GAAP to non-GAAP should get closer. Therefore, GAAP should be more positive on a consistent basis.

Umer Raffat - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD & Senior Analyst of Equity Research

Got it. Ken, when should we expect — what should we expect on guidance now going forward? Is there something coming at JP Morgan or something [that will be in the 4Q]?

 

 

Kenneth S. Parks - Mylan N.V. - CFO

It’s a fair question, and I appreciate you asking it because it — to set expectations, it’s a bit of a, we need to see how the timeline of the transaction moves.

 

 

Umer Raffat - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD & Senior Analyst of Equity Research

Right.

 

 

Kenneth S. Parks - Mylan N.V. - CFO

So let’s say, right now, we’re anticipating the transaction to close sometime between the end of the first quarter of next year and the end of the second quarter of next year. There’s multiple moving pieces, including antitrust approval and all that process, which is in process, from our viewpoint, but it can take a certain amount of time, and it’s not all subject to our work, but it could be to the regulators. What all that means is that if we get to our typical timeline, call it, February, end of February 2020 when we would disclose our fourth quarter results and come out with our first look at 2020. If we, based upon that point in time, think that the deal is going to close on the later end of the timeframe I just gave you, we’ll probably give you some look on what Mylan stand-alone is at that point in time. We probably wouldn’t give you much on what Newco looks like. We may give you some additional pieces that we may have learned between now and then. So it’s going to be somewhat dependent upon — if we get February and the deal looks like it’s going to close relatively quickly, we’ll probably give you more guidance around Newco at that point in time.


 

Umer Raffat - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD & Senior Analyst of Equity Research

But we shouldn’t expect — so there’s been conversations. This question is not on the pro forma guidance, but there’s been a lot of questions on whether pro forma numbers are really $19 billion to $20 billion or is it closer to $18 billion top line. And there was a lot of comments where Mylan has sort of hinted at a lot of things on the earnings call. But my question is, should we expect a meaningful update on that at JP Morgan? Or should we really wait for the earnings call?

 

 

Kenneth S. Parks - Mylan N.V. - CFO

I think we’ve got a way — I think we — as you can imagine, while the deal was announced July 29, there is a lot of activity going on right now, including looking at the markets, bringing the commercial teams together to assess markets. I think we need to learn more to tell you how definitively we’ll tell you something at JP Morgan versus end of February versus closer to the deal closing. So we’ll learn more to be able to give you more as soon as we reasonably can.

Sounds great. So next time is all China when we meet. Thank you, guys for being here.
