Overview
Halyard Health, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding recovery and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients in more than
100
countries. Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, Halyard is committed to addressing some of today’s most important healthcare needs, such as reducing the use of opioids while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. The company’s Medical Devices and Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) business segments develop, manufacture and market clinically superior solutions around the globe.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Halyard,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Halyard Health, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Kimberly-Clark” mean Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
On
October 31, 2014
, Kimberly-Clark distributed all of our capital stock to its shareholders and completed a previously announced spin-off of its healthcare division (the “Spin-off”). Halyard was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in
February, 2014
in anticipation of that Spin-off and Kimberly-Clark transferred its Health Care business to us prior to the Spin-off.
On
May 2, 2016
, Halyard acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) a Delaware corporation. Medsystems owns and conducts its primary business through CORPAK Medsystems (“Corpak”). Corpak’s innovative enteral access feeding solutions and portfolio of nasogastric feeding tubes complement our existing enteral feeding products and create a complete offering of enteral feeding solutions within our Medical Devices segment. See “Business Acquisition” in
Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report.
The address of our principal executive offices is 5405 Windward Parkway, Suite 100 South, Alpharetta, Georgia 30004, and our telephone number is (678) 425-9273.
Business Segments
We are organized into two operating segments based on product groupings: Medical Devices and S&IP. These operating segments, which are also our reportable global business segments, were determined in accordance with how our executive managers develop and execute global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. Segment management is evaluated on several factors, including operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes general corporate costs and expenses not associated with the business units including charges related to business acquisition, integration and restructuring, pre-Spin-off transaction, post-Spin-off transition, certain litigation matters, manufacturing footprint changes in Thailand and goodwill impairment.
The principal sources of revenue in each global business segment are described below:
|
•
|
Medical Devices provides a portfolio of innovative product offerings focused on pain management, respiratory and digestive health to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. These products include post-operative pain management solutions, minimally invasive interventional (or chronic) pain therapies, closed airway suction systems and enteral feeding tubes. Products in this segment are sold under the ON-Q, COOLIEF, MICROCUFF, MIC-KEY, QUIKBLOC, HOMEPUMP, CORTRAK and other brand names.
|
|
•
|
S&IP provides healthcare supplies and solutions that target the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. This segment has recognized brands across its portfolio of product offerings, including sterilization wrap, surgical drapes and gowns, facial protection, protective apparel and medical exam gloves. This business is also a global leader in education to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Products in this segment are sold under the HALYARD ONE-STEP, QUICK CHECK, SMART-FOLD, POWERGUARD, MICROCOOL, AERO BLUE, AERO CHROME, FLUIDSHIELD, PURPLE NITRILE, LAVENDER, STERLING, BLACK-FIRE and other brand names.

Sales and Marketing
We direct our primary sales and marketing efforts toward hospitals and other healthcare providers to highlight the unique benefits and competitive differentiation of our branded products. We work directly with physicians, nurses, professional societies, hospital administrators and healthcare group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) to collaborate and educate on emerging practices and clinical techniques that prevent infection, eliminate pain and speed recovery. These marketing programs are delivered directly to healthcare providers. Additionally, we provide marketing programs to our strategic distribution partners throughout the world.
Distribution
While our products are generally marketed directly to hospitals and other healthcare providers, they are generally sold through third-party distribution channels.
Our products are sold principally through independent wholesale distributors, with some sales directly to healthcare facilities and other end-user customers. In
2016
, approximately
67%
of our net sales in North America were made through distributors. Globally, sales to Owens & Minor, Inc. (“Owens”), one of our distributors, accounted for approximately
11%
of our
2016
net sales. No other customer or distributor accounted for more than
10%
of our net sales in
2016
. Owens purchases both Medical Device and S&IP products from us under standard terms and conditions of sale. In certain cases, Owens also competes with us. See “Competition.”
Approximately
44%
of our
2016
global net sales, including sales to wholesale distributors, were contracted through
four
major national GPOs, principally relating to our S&IP business. Of these
2016
GPO-contracted sales,
21%
were represented by contracts that will expire by the end of
2017
,
50%
were represented by contracts that will expire between
2018
and
2019
and
29%
were represented by contracts that will expire between
2020
and
2021
.
Outside North America, sales are made either directly to end-user customers or through distributors, depending on the market served. In
2016
, approximately
71%
of our net sales outside North America were made through wholesalers or distributors.
We operate
six
major distribution centers located in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan that ship multiple finished products to multiple customers, as well as
eleven
other distribution sites that also have customer shipping capabilities, in order to optimize cost and customer service requirements.
No material portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the government.
Raw Materials
We use a wide variety of raw materials and other inputs in our production processes, with polypropylene polymers and nitrile constituting our most significant raw material purchases. We base our purchasing decisions on quality assurance, cost effectiveness and regulatory requirements, and we work closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. We primarily purchase these materials from external suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers.
Global commodity prices can affect pricing of certain raw materials on which we rely. In our S&IP business, polypropylene polymers, which are oil based, and nitrile represent a significant component of our manufacturing costs. In addition, the prices of other raw materials we use, such as resins and finishing supplies, often fluctuate in response to changes in oil prices. Prices of these commodities can be volatile and have varied significantly in recent years, contributing to fluctuations in our results of operations.
Competition
While no single company competes with us across the breadth of our offerings, we face significant competition in U.S. and international markets.
Medical Devices
There are a variety of treatment means and alternative clinical practices to address the management of surgical and chronic pain and respiratory and digestive health. We face competition from these alternative treatments, as well as improvements and innovations in products and technologies by our competitors.
|
2
|
||
Competitors for our Medical Device products are fragmented by particular product category, and the individual markets for these products are highly competitive. Major competitors of our Medical Devices business include, among others:
|
•
|
Pain Management:
B. Braun Medical Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, Abbott Laboratories (formerly St. Jude Medical), Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Stryker Corporation, Teleflex Incorporated, Ambu A/S and Baxter International, Inc.
|
|
•
|
Respiratory:
Becton, Dickinson and Company, Stryker Corporation (formerly Sage Products, LLC) and Smiths Medical
|
|
•
|
Digestive Health:
Boston Scientific Corporation, Cook Medical, and Applied Medical Technology, Inc.
|
In developing and emerging markets, alternative clinical practices and different standards of care are our primary competition.
While we believe that the number of procedures using our Medical Devices will grow due, in part, to increasing global access to healthcare, we expect that our ability to compete with other providers of similar devices will be impacted by rapid technological advances, pricing pressures and third-party reimbursement practices. We believe that our key product characteristics, such as proven efficacy, reliability and safety, coupled with our core competencies such as our efficient manufacturing processes, established distribution network, field sales organization and customer service, are important factors that distinguish us from our competitors.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
In developed markets, the major competitors of our S&IP business include Cardinal Health, Inc., Medline Industries, Inc., Hogy Medical, Multigate Medical Products, Mölnlycke Health Care and HARTMANN Group. In the United States several of our distribution partners and GPOs are also competitors or are increasingly seeking to compete with us by direct sourcing their own products. In developing and emerging markets, we compete against reusable products, or low usage of infection prevention products, due in large part to limited awareness and eduction on infection prevention practices and products.
The highly competitive environment of the S&IP business requires us to seek out technological innovations and to market our products effectively. Our products face competition from other brands that may be less expensive than our products and from other companies that may have more resources than we do. Competitive factors include price, alternative clinical practices, innovation, quality and reputation. To successfully compete, we must demonstrate that our products offer higher quality, more innovative features or better value versus other products.
Research and Development
We continuously engage in research and development to commercialize new products and enhance the effectiveness, reliability and safety of our existing products. We incurred
$41 million
in
2016
,
$32 million
in
2015
and
$34 million
in
2014
on research and development to develop new products and processes, and to improve existing products and processes. These expenses consisted primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, product trial costs, outside laboratory and license fees, the costs of laboratory equipment and facilities and asset write-offs for equipment that does not reach success in product manufacturing certifications. We intend to increase our research and development efforts as a key strategy for growth.
In our Medical Devices business, we collaborate with physicians to develop solutions that seek to accelerate the global adoption of our therapies and procedures. We are investing to expand the indications for use of our pain products with clinical research and studies and associated new product developments. We are expanding our portfolio with customer-preferred product enhancements, such as next generation cooled radiofrequency generators and a full line of needles, kits and accessories for continuous peripheral nerve block procedures.
In our S&IP business, we are focused on maintaining our market position by providing innovative customer-preferred product enhancements, with a particular focus on the operating room. Leveraging customer insights and our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, we seek to continuously improve our product designs, specifications and features to deliver cost efficiencies while improving healthcare worker and patient protection. We continuously refresh our surgical drape and gown portfolio to ensure that our products are aligned with the latest medical and procedural standards. Our research team works with healthcare providers to develop and design exam glove and apparel portfolios that optimize comfort and fit and provide cost-effective infection prevention solutions for use throughout the hospital.

|

We are also investing in new categories and solutions that complement our technical expertise and existing intellectual property. We are particularly focused on those new categories that we believe will leverage our existing scalable technology platforms as well as our sales and marketing expertise.
Intellectual Property
Patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights are very important to our business. We also rely upon trade secrets, manufacturing know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to maintain and improve our competitive position. We review third-party proprietary rights, including patents and patent applications, as available, in an effort to develop an effective intellectual property strategy, avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the intellectual property owned by others.
We hold numerous patents and have numerous patent applications pending in the United States and other countries that relate to the technology used in many of our products. In our Medical Devices segment, we utilize patents in our surgical pain management, chronic pain management, respiratory health and digestive health products. These patents generally expire between
2019
and
2034
. None of the patents we license from third parties are material to our Medical Devices segment. In our S&IP segment, we utilize patents in our sterilization wrap, surgical drapes and gowns, facial protection, protective apparel and medical exam gloves. These patents generally expire between
2017
and
2033
. None of the patents we license from third parties are material to our S&IP segment.
We may distribute products bearing the Kimberly-Clark brand through April of 2017 under a royalty agreement that we have with Kimberly-Clark. Efforts to ensure our customers’ transition from the Kimberly-Clark brand to our Halyard-branded products are substantially complete.
We consider the patents and trademarks which we own and the trademarks under which we sell certain of our products, as a whole, to be material to our business. However, we do not consider our business to be materially dependent upon any individual patent or trademark.
Regulatory Matters
The development, manufacture, marketing, sale, promotion and distribution of our products are subject to comprehensive government regulation. Government regulation by various national, regional, federal, state and local agencies, both in the United States and other countries, addresses (among other matters) inspection of, and controls over, research and laboratory procedures, clinical investigations, product approvals and manufacturing, labeling, packaging, marketing and promotion, pricing and reimbursement, sampling, distribution, quality control, post-market surveillance, record keeping, storage and disposal practices. Our operations are also affected by trade regulations in many countries that limit the import of raw materials and finished products and by laws and regulations that seek to prevent corruption and bribery in the marketplace (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the United Kingdom Bribery Act, which provide guidance on corporate interactions with government officials) and require safeguards for the protection of personal data. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including state and federal anti-kickback and false claims laws in the United States.
Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly and materially affects our business. Among other effects, healthcare regulations substantially increase the time, difficulty and costs incurred in obtaining and maintaining approval to market newly developed and existing products. For example, in the United States, before we can market a new medical product, or market a new use for, claim for or significant modification to an existing product, we generally must first receive clearance under Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“510(k) clearance”) from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). In order for us to obtain 510(k) clearance, the FDA must determine that our proposed product is substantially equivalent to a device legally on the market, known as a predicate device, with respect to intended use, technology, safety and effectiveness. Similarly, most major markets for medical devices outside the United States also require clearance, approval or compliance with certain standards before a product can be commercially marketed. For instance, the European Commission, or EC, has harmonized national regulations for the control of medical devices through European Medical Device Directives with which manufacturers must comply. Under these regulations, manufacturing plants must have received certification of conformity from a notified body in order to be able to sell products within the member states of the European Union. Certification allows manufacturers to stamp the products of certified plants with a “CE” mark. Products covered by the EC regulations that do not bear the CE mark may not be sold or distributed in the European Union.
|

|

We expect compliance with these regulations to continue to require significant technical expertise and capital investment to ensure compliance. Failure to comply can delay the release of a new product or result in regulatory and enforcement actions, the seizure or recall of a product, the suspension or revocation of the authority necessary for a product’s production and sale, and other civil or criminal sanctions, including fines and penalties.
In addition to regulatory initiatives, our business can be affected by ongoing studies of the utilization, safety, efficacy, and outcomes of healthcare products and their components that are regularly conducted by industry participants, government agencies, and others. These studies can call into question the utilization, safety, and efficacy of previously marketed products. In some cases, these studies have resulted, and may in the future result, in the discontinuance of, or limitations on, marketing of such products domestically or worldwide, and may give rise to claims for damages from persons who believe they have been injured as a result of their use.
Access to healthcare products continues to be a subject of investigation and action by governmental agencies, legislative bodies, and private organizations in the United States and other countries. A major focus is cost containment. Efforts to reduce healthcare costs are also being made in the private sector, notably by healthcare payors and providers, which have instituted various cost reduction and containment measures. We expect insurers and providers to continue attempts to reduce the cost of healthcare products. Outside the United States, many countries control the price of healthcare products directly or indirectly, through reimbursement, payment, pricing, coverage limitations, or compulsory licensing. Budgetary pressures in the United States and in other countries may also heighten the scope and severity of pricing pressures on our products for the foreseeable future.
We expect debate to continue during the next several years at all government levels worldwide over the marketing, availability, method of delivery, and payment for healthcare products and services. We believe that future legislation and regulation in the markets we serve could affect access to healthcare products and services, increase rebates, reduce prices or the rate of price increases for healthcare products and services, change healthcare delivery systems, create new fees and obligations, or require additional reporting and disclosure. It is not possible to predict the extent to which we or the healthcare industry in general might be affected by the matters discussed above.
Since we market our products worldwide, certain products of a local nature and variations of product lines must also meet other local regulatory requirements. Certain additional risks are inherent in conducting business outside the United States, including price and currency exchange controls, changes in currency exchange rates, limitations on participation in local enterprises, expropriation, nationalization, and other governmental action.
Demand for many of our existing and new medical products is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs and private health insurers reimburse our customers for patients’ medical expenses in the countries where we do business. Statutory and regulatory requirements for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government healthcare programs govern provider reimbursement levels. From time to time, legislative changes are made to government healthcare programs that impact our business, and the federal and/or state governments may continue to enact measures in the future aimed at containing or reducing reimbursement levels for medical expenses paid for in whole or in part with government funds. We cannot predict the nature of such measures or their impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any reduction in the amount of reimbursements received by our customers could harm our business by reducing their selection of our products and the prices they are willing to pay.
Employee and Labor Relations
In our worldwide operations, we had approximately
12,000
employees as of
December 31, 2016
. We believe that we have good relations with our employees.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
Our operations are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to various environmental, health and safety matters. Our operations are in compliance with, or we are taking actions designed to ensure compliance with, these laws, regulations and ordinances. However, the nature of our operations exposes us to the risk of claims concerning non-compliance with environmental, health and safety laws or standards, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with those claims. We are not currently named as a party in any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to environmental, health and safety matters.
While we have incurred in the past several years, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures in order to comply with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances, we believe that our future cost of compliance
|
5
|
||
with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances, and our exposure to liability for environmental, health and safety claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations, or contamination of sites owned, operated or used for waste disposal by us (including currently unknown contamination and contamination caused by prior owners and operators of such sites or other waste generators) may give rise to additional costs which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Available Information
We make financial information, news releases and other information available on our corporate website at

. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge on our corporate website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file these reports and amendments with, or furnish them to, the SEC. The information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this or any other report filed with the SEC. Stockholders may also contact Stockholder Services, 5405 Windward Parkway, Suite 100 South, Alpharetta, Georgia 30004 or call (678) 425-9273 to obtain a hard copy of these reports without charge.
Our business faces many risks and uncertainties that we cannot control. Any of the risks discussed below, as well as factors described in other places in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in our other filings with the SEC, could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, these items could cause our future results to differ from those in any of our forward-looking statements. These risks are not the only ones we face. Other risks that we do not presently know about or that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
We face strong competition. Our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our industry is highly competitive. We compete with many domestic and foreign companies ranging from small start-up enterprises that might sell only a single or limited number of competitive products or compete only in a specific market segment, to companies that are larger and more established than us, have a broad range of competitive products, participate in numerous markets and have access to significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do. We also face competition from distributors who are expanding their private label portfolios and aggressively marketing their own product lines. For example, our products are distributed by Cardinal Health, Inc. and Medline Industries, Inc., each of which sells its own private label products and solutions that compete with some of our offerings. Competitive factors include price, alternative clinical practices, innovation, quality and reputation. Our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may not be successful in developing, acquiring or marketing competitive products and technologies.
Our industry is characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological advances. The future success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to design, acquire and manufacture new competitive products and enhance existing products. Accordingly, we commit substantial time, funds and other resources to new product development, including research and development, acquisitions, licenses, clinical trials and physician education. We make these substantial expenditures without any assurance that our products will obtain regulatory clearance or reimbursement approval, acquire adequate intellectual property protection or receive market acceptance. Development by our competitors of improved products, technologies or enhancements may make our products, or those we develop, license or acquire in the future, obsolete or less competitive which could negatively impact our net sales. Our failure to successfully develop, acquire or market competitive new products or enhance existing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are exposed to price fluctuations of key commodities, which may negatively impact our results of operations.
We rely on product inputs, such as polypropylene and nitrile, as well as other commodities, in the manufacture of our products. Prices of oil and gas affect our distribution and transportation costs. Prices of these commodities are volatile and have fluctuated significantly in recent years, which has contributed to, and in the future may continue to contribute to, fluctuations in our results of operations. Our ability to hedge commodity price volatility is limited. Furthermore, due to competitive dynamics,
|
6
|
||
the cost containment efforts of our customers and third-party payors, and contractual limitations, particularly with respect to products we sell under group purchasing agreements, which generally set pricing for a three-year term, we may be unable to pass along commodity-driven cost increases through higher prices. If we cannot fully offset cost increases through other cost reductions, or recover these costs through price increases or surcharges, we could experience lower margins and profitability which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
An inability to obtain key components, raw materials or manufactured products from third parties may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on the availability of various components, raw materials and manufactured products supplied by others for our operations. If the capabilities of our suppliers and third-party manufacturers are limited or stopped, due to quality, regulatory or other reasons, it could negatively impact our ability to manufacture or deliver our products and could expose us to regulatory actions. Further, for quality assurance or cost effectiveness, we purchase from sole suppliers certain components and raw materials such as polymers used in our S&IP products, latex bladders for our pain pumps, and nitrile for our medical exam gloves. Although there are other sources in the market place for these items, we may not be able to quickly establish additional or replacement sources for certain components or materials due to regulations and requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities regarding the manufacture of our products. The loss of any sole supplier or any sustained supply interruption that affects our ability to manufacture or deliver our products in a timely or cost effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
An interruption in our ability to manufacture products may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Many of our key products are manufactured at single locations, with limited alternate facilities, including in certain cases by third-party manufacturers. If one or more of these facilities experience damage, or if these manufacturing capabilities are otherwise limited or stopped due to quality, regulatory or other reasons, including natural disasters, prolonged power or equipment failures or labor dispute, it may not be possible to timely manufacture the relevant products at previous levels or at all. A reduction or interruption in any of these manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
An interruption in distribution or transportation may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely on various transportation channels for global distribution of our products through shipping ports located throughout the world. Labor unrest, political instability, the outbreak of pandemics, trade restrictions, transport capacity and costs, port security, weather conditions, natural disasters or other events could slow port activities and could adversely affect our business by interrupting product shipments and may increase our transportation costs if we are forced to use more expensive shipping alternatives.
We are subject to extensive government regulation, which may require us to incur significant expenses to ensure compliance.
Many of our products are subject to extensive regulation in the United States by the FDA and other regulatory authorities and by comparable government agencies in other countries concerning the development, design, approval, manufacture, labeling, importing and exporting and sale and marketing of many of our products. Furthermore, our facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA and other federal, state and foreign government authorities, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, which requires periodic audits, design controls, quality control testing and documentation procedures, as well as complaint evaluations and investigation. Regulations regarding the development, manufacture and sale of medical products are evolving and subject to future change. We cannot predict what impact those regulatory changes may have on our business. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could lead to manufacturing shutdowns, product shortages, delays in product manufacturing, product seizures, recalls, operating restrictions, withdrawal or suspension of required licenses, and prohibitions against exporting of products to, or importing products from, countries outside the United States and may require significant resources to resolve. Any one or more of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are subject to healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations that could result in significant liability, require us to change our business practices or restrict our operations in the future.
We are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local laws targeting fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry, including anti-kickback and false claims laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal or civil sanctions, including substantial fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. These laws and
|
7
|
||
regulations are wide ranging and subject to changing interpretation and application, which could restrict our sales or marketing practices. Furthermore, since many of our customers rely on reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental programs to cover a substantial portion of their expenditures, our exclusion from such programs as a result of a violation of these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We must obtain clearance or approval from the appropriate regulatory authorities prior to introducing a new product or a modification to an existing product. The regulatory clearance process may result in substantial costs, delays and limitations on the types and uses of products we can bring to market, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In the United States, before we can market a new product, or a new use of, or claim for, or significant modification to, an existing product, we generally must first receive clearance or approval from the FDA and certain other regulatory authorities. Most major markets for medical devices outside the United States also require clearance, approval or compliance with certain standards before a product can be commercially marketed. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals to market a medical device can be costly and time consuming, involve rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing, require changes in products or result in limitations on the indicated uses of products. There can be no assurance that these clearances and approvals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, once a medical device has been cleared or approved, a new clearance or approval may be required before the medical device may be modified, its labeling changed or marketed for a different use. Medical devices are cleared or approved for one or more specific intended uses and promoting a device for an off-label use could result in government enforcement action. Furthermore, a product approval or clearance can be withdrawn or limited due to unforeseen problems with the medical device or issues relating to its application. The regulatory clearance and approval process may result in, among other things, delayed, if at all, realization of product net sales, substantial additional costs and limitations on the types of products we may bring to market or their indicated uses, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may incur product liability losses, litigation liability, product recalls, safety alerts or regulatory action associated with our products which can be costly and disruptive to our business.
The risk of product liability claims is inherent in the design, manufacture and marketing of the medical products of the type we produce and sell. A number of factors could result in an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient with respect to the products that we manufacture or sell, including physician technique and experience in performing the relevant surgical procedure, component failures, manufacturing flaws, design defects or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or information.
In addition to product liability claims and litigation, an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient associated with our products could lead to a recall of, or issuance of a safety alert relating to, our products, or suspension or delay of regulatory product approvals or clearances, product seizures or detentions, governmental investigations, civil or criminal sanctions or injunctions to halt manufacturing and distribution of our products. Any one of these could result in significant costs and negative publicity resulting in reduced market acceptance and demand for our products and harm our reputation. In addition, a recall or injunction affecting our products could temporarily shut down production lines or place products on a shipping hold.
All of the foregoing types of legal proceedings and regulatory actions are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business, result in substantial costs or the diversion of management attention and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Disruptions in the financial markets and other macro-economic challenges affecting the economy and the economic outlook of the United States, Europe, Japan, China and other parts of the world may have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Economic conditions and depressed levels of consumer and commercial spending have caused and may continue to cause our customers to reduce, modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products, and we have observed certain hospitals delaying and prioritizing purchasing decisions, which has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In addition, as a result of economic conditions, our customers inside and outside the United States, including foreign governmental entities or other entities that rely on government healthcare systems or government funding, may be unable to pay their obligations on a timely basis or to make payment in full. If our customers’ cash flow or operating and financial performance deteriorate or fail to improve, or if our customers are unable to make scheduled payments or obtain credit, they
|
8
|
||
may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of accounts receivable owed to us. These conditions also may have an adverse effect on certain of our suppliers who may reduce output or change terms of sales, which could cause a disruption in our ability to produce our products. Any inability of current and/or potential customers to pay us for our products or any demands by our suppliers for different payment terms may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations
.
Due to our international operations, we transact business in many foreign currencies and are subject to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including the Thai baht, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso, Japanese yen, Australian dollar and the Euro. Our financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars with international transactions being translated into U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar strengthens in relation to the currencies of other countries where we sell our products, our U.S. dollar reported net sales and income will decrease. Additionally, we incur significant costs in foreign currencies and a fluctuation in those currencies’ value can negatively impact manufacturing and selling costs. While we have in the past engaged, and may in the future engage, in various hedging transactions in attempts to minimize the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that these hedging transactions will be effective. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur regularly and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cost-containment efforts of our customers, healthcare purchasing groups, third-party payors and governmental organizations could adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Many of our customers are members of GPOs, or integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”). GPOs and IDNs negotiate pricing arrangements with healthcare product manufacturers and distributors and offer the negotiated prices to affiliated hospitals and other members. Although we are the sole contracted supplier to certain GPOs for certain product categories, members of the GPO are generally free to purchase from other suppliers, and such contract positions can offer no assurance that sales volumes of those products will be maintained. In addition, initiatives sponsored by government agencies and other third-party payors to limit healthcare costs, including price regulation and competitive bidding for the sale of our products, are ongoing in markets where we sell our products. Pricing pressure has also increased in our markets due to consolidation among healthcare providers, trends toward managed care, governments becoming payors of healthcare expenses and regulation relating to reimbursements. The increasing leverage of organized buying groups and consolidated customers and pricing pressure from third-party payors may reduce market prices for our products, thereby reducing our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We face significant uncertainty in the healthcare industry due to government healthcare reform in the United States and elsewhere.
In
March 2010
, comprehensive healthcare reform legislation was signed into law in the United States through the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “PPACA”). Among other initiatives, the legislation implemented a
2.3%
excise tax on the sales of certain medical devices in the United States, effective January 2013. In 2015, the excise tax had an impact on us of approximately
$6 million
, but was suspended for 2016. As a result of the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act in
December 2016
, the medical device excise tax has been suspended for the
2017
and
2018
calendar years. In addition, the legislation implemented payment system reforms and significantly altered Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for medical services and medical devices, which could result in downward pricing pressure and decreased demand for our products.
As additional provisions of healthcare reform are implemented, we anticipate that the U.S. Congress, regulatory agencies and certain state legislatures, as well as international legislators and regulators, will continue to review and assess alternative healthcare delivery systems and payment methods with an objective of ultimately reducing healthcare costs and expanding access. We cannot predict with certainty what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented by states or foreign governments or what ultimate effect federal healthcare reform or any future legislation or regulation may have on our customers’ purchasing decisions regarding our products. However, the implementation of new legislation and regulation may lower reimbursements for our products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In addition, the United States Government is currently evaluating the potential repeal and potential replacement of all or parts of the PPACA. Any such repeal or replacement may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our customers depend on third-party coverage and reimbursements. The failure of healthcare programs to provide coverage and reimbursement, or reductions in levels of reimbursement, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The ability of our customers to obtain coverage and reimbursements for products they purchase from us is important to our business. Demand for many of our existing and new medical products is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs and private health insurers reimburse our customers for patients’ medical expenses in the countries where we do business. Any reduction in the amount of reimbursements received by our customers could harm our business by reducing their selection of our products and the prices they are willing to pay.
In addition, as a result of their purchasing power, third-party payors are implementing cost-cutting measures such as seeking discounts, price reductions or other incentives from medical products suppliers and imposing limitations on coverage and reimbursements for medical technologies and procedures. These trends could compel us to reduce prices for our existing products and potential new products and could cause a decrease in the size of the market or a potential increase in competition that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are subject to political, economic and regulatory risks associated with doing business outside of the United States.
Most of our manufacturing facilities are outside the United States in Honduras, Mexico, Thailand, France, Germany and Tunisia. We also use contract manufacturers to manufacture products on our behalf in China, Indonesia and Malaysia and source many of our raw materials and components from foreign suppliers. We distribute and sell our products in over
100
countries. In
2016
, approximately
25%
of our net sales were generated outside of North America and we expect this percentage will grow over time. Our operations outside of the United States are subject to risks that are inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with both United States and foreign laws and regulations that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include robust data privacy requirements, labor relations laws that may impede employer flexibility, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import, customs and trade restrictions, export requirements, economic sanction laws, environmental, health and safety laws, anti-bribery laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be violated inadvertently or through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees, our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements or otherwise. In addition, these laws are subject to changes, which may require additional resources or make it more difficult for us to comply with these laws. Violations of the laws and regulations governing our international operations could result in fines or criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to manufacture or distribute our products in one or more countries and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and prevent or mitigate these risks and manage difficulties as they arise.
We may be subject to trade protection measures that are being contemplated by the United States Government that may result in new or higher tariffs, import-export restrictions and taxes. Changes in, or revised interpretations of import-export laws or international trade agreements, along with new or increased tariffs, trade restrictions or taxation on income earned or goods manufactured outside the United States may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition to the foregoing, engaging in international business inherently involves a number of other difficulties and risks, including:
|
•
|
different local medical practices, product preferences and product requirements,
|
|
•
|
price and currency controls and exchange rate fluctuations,
|
|
•
|
cost and availability of international shipping channels,
|
|
•
|
longer payment cycles in certain countries other than the United States,
|
|
•
|
minimal or diminished protection of intellectual property in certain countries,
|
|
•
|
uncertainties regarding judicial systems, including difficulties in enforcing agreements through certain non-U.S. legal systems,
|
|
10
|
||
|
•
|
political instability and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts, expropriation of assets, economic instability and the impact on interest rates, inflation and the credit worthiness of our customers,
|
|
•
|
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing non-U.S. operations.
|
These risks and difficulties, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We cannot guarantee that any of our strategic acquisitions, investments or alliances will be successful.
We intend to supplement our growth through strategic acquisitions of, investments in and alliances with new medical technologies. The success of any acquisition, investment or alliance may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to identify and then properly assess and value the potential business opportunity or to successfully integrate any business we may acquire into our existing business. These types of transactions may require more resources and investments than originally anticipated, may divert management’s attention from our existing business, may result in exposure to unexpected liabilities of the acquired business, and may not result in the expected benefits, savings or synergies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and successfully make strategic acquisitions of, investments in and alliances with new medical technologies or that any past or future acquisition, investment or alliance will be cost-effective, profitable or successful.
We have a significant amount of debt that could adversely affect our business.
Our indebtedness includes
$250 million
of
6.25%
senior unsecured notes and
$339 million
owed on a term loan. This debt could have important consequences to us and our investors, including:
|
•
|
requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest payments on this debt,
|
|
•
|
reducing the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to grow our business,
|
|
•
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions,
|
|
•
|
increasing the risk of a future downgrade of our credit rating, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing,
|
|
•
|
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise, and
|
|
•
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry and placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that may not be as highly leveraged.
|
To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, the risks described above could increase. In addition, our actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay all of the outstanding debt as it becomes due, and we may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to refinance our debt.
We may need additional financing in the future to meet our capital needs or to make acquisitions and such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
We intend to increase our investment in research and development activities and make acquisitions. Accordingly, we may need to seek additional debt or equity financing. We may be unable to obtain any desired additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we lose a previously assigned credit rating or adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our expansion, successfully develop or enhance products or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could negatively affect our business.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights or may infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
We rely on patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property assets in the operation of our business. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient. We cannot be sure that pending patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or that patents issued or licensed to us will remain valid or prevent competitors from introducing similar competing technologies. Our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside of the United States in which we operate, which could make it easier for our competitors to develop or distribute similar competing technologies in those jurisdictions. In addition, our competitive position may be adversely affected by expirations of our significant patents, which would allow competitors to freely use our technology to compete with us.
|
11
|
||
We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation and competitors may claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is inherently unpredictable, typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. Any one of these could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. At any given time we are involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We can expect to face additional claims of patent infringement in the future.
We may be unable to attract and retain key employees necessary to be competitive.
Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to attract and retain executives and other key employees, including people in technical, marketing, sales, and research and development positions. Competition for experienced employees, particularly for persons with specialized skills, can be intense. Our ability to recruit such talent will depend on a number of factors, including compensation and benefits, work location and work environment. If we cannot effectively recruit and retain qualified executives and employees, our business could be materially adversely affected.
Breaches of our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely on information technology systems to process, transmit and store electronic information in our day-to-day operations. Our information technology systems may be subjected to computer viruses or other malicious codes, unauthorized access attempts and cyber- or phishing-attacks. We also store certain information with third parties that could be subject to these types of attacks. These attacks could result in our intellectual property and other confidential information, including personal health information, being lost or stolen, disruption of our operations, loss of reputation and other negative consequences, such as increased costs for security measures or remediation costs and diversion of management attention. While we will continue to implement additional protective measures to reduce the risk of and detect future cyber incidents, cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, and the techniques used in such attacks change rapidly. There can be no assurances that our protective measures will prevent future attacks that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Prior to the Spin-off, our historical and pro-forma financial data were not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as a stand-alone publicly-traded company and therefore may not be reliable as an indicator of our performance.
The historical combined and consolidated financial data included in this annual report on Form 10-K presents our results of operations, financial position and cash flows as a stand-alone public company in 2016, 2015 and for the period from November 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, but as Kimberly-Clark’s Health Care business through October 31, 2014 (the Spin-off date). Prior to the Spin-off date, the historical combined financial data presented the results and financial position of Kimberly-Clark’s Health Care business that was transferred to us at the Spin-off date as that business was operated by Kimberly-Clark. Our historical combined financial data included in this Form 10-K for the periods prior to the Spin-off are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Kimberly-Clark. Accordingly, this data may not be indicative of our future performance, or necessarily reflect what our financial position and results of operations or cash flows would have been, had we operated as a separate, stand-alone publicly-traded entity during all of the periods presented.
Risks Related to Ownership of Halyard Common Stock
We cannot guarantee that our stock price will not decline or fluctuate significantly.
The price at which Halyard common stock trades has and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The market price, or fluctuations in price, for Halyard common stock may be negatively influenced by many factors, including:
|
•
|
actual or unanticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results,
|
|
•
|
our failure to achieve the quarterly financial results forecast provided from time to time by the securities analysts who cover our stock,
|
|
•
|
the outcome of litigation and enforcement actions,
|
|
•
|
developments generally affecting the healthcare industry,
|
|
•
|
changes in market valuations of comparable companies,
|
|
12
|
||
|
•
|
the amount of our indebtedness,
|
|
•
|
general economic, industry and market conditions,
|
|
•
|
the depth and liquidity of the market for Halyard common stock,
|
|
•
|
price fluctuations in key commodities,
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates,
|
|
•
|
our dividend policy, and
|
|
•
|
perceptions of or speculations by the press or investment community.
|
These and other factors may lower the market price of Halyard common stock, regardless of our actual financial condition or operating performance.
We have no present intention to pay dividends on Halyard common stock.
We have no present intention to pay dividends on Halyard common stock. Any determination to pay dividends to holders of Halyard common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, projections, liquidity, earnings, legal requirements, restrictions in our debt agreements and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Your percentage of ownership in Halyard may be diluted in the future.
In the future, your percentage ownership in Halyard may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including equity awards that we may grant to our directors, officers and employees. We also anticipate that our compensation committee will grant stock options or other equity based awards to our employees in the future. These awards will have a dilutive effect on existing stockholders and on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of shares of Halyard common stock.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of Halyard stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including preferences over Halyard common stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as our Board of Directors generally may determine. If our Board of Directors were to approve the issuance of preferred stock in the future, the terms of one or more classes or series of such preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of Halyard common stock. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we could assign to Halyard preferred stock could affect the residual value of Halyard common stock.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and of Delaware law may make it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our Board of Directors and may discourage hostile takeover attempts which some of our stockholders may consider to be beneficial.
Certain provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and those contained in Delaware law may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our Board of Directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of us and our stockholders. These provisions include, among other things, the following:
|
•
|
the division of our Board of Directors into three classes, each with three-year staggered terms,
|
|
•
|
the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without stockholder approval,
|
|
•
|
the inability of our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders,
|
|
•
|
stockholder action may be taken only at a special or regular meeting of stockholders,
|
|
•
|
advance notice procedures for nominating candidates to our Board of Directors or presenting matters at stockholder meetings,
|
|
•
|
stockholder removal of directors only for cause and only by a supermajority vote,
|
|
•
|
the ability of our Board of Directors, and not our stockholders, to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors, and
|
|
13
|
||
|
•
|
supermajority voting requirements to amend our by-laws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and to engage in certain types of business combinations.
|
While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our Board of Directors, they could enable the Board of Directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors. We are also subject to Delaware laws that could have similar effects. One of these laws prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with a significant stockholder unless specific conditions are met.
None.
We own or lease operating facilities located throughout the world that handle manufacturing production, assembly, research, quality assurance testing, distribution and packaging of our products. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our present operations. We lease our principal executive offices that are located in Alpharetta, Georgia.

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters, including the matters described below. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark prior to the Spin-off, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters (“Indemnification Obligation”). For the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, we have incurred
$20 million
and
$17 million
, respectively, related to these matters.
The only exception to the Indemnification Obligation relates to the pain pump litigation referenced in this paragraph. We are one of several manufacturers of continuous infusion medical devices, such as our ON-Q PAINBUSTER pain pumps, that are involved in several different pending or threatened litigation matters from multiple plaintiffs alleging that use of the continuous infusion device to deliver anesthetics directly into a synovial joint after surgery resulted in postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis, or a disintegration of the cartilage covering the bones in the joint (typically, in the shoulder). Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. While Kimberly-Clark is retaining the liabilities related to these matters, the distribution agreement between us and Kimberly-Clark provides that we will indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any such claims or causes of actions arising after the Spin-off.

We have an Indemnification Obligation for, and have assumed the defense of, the matter styled
Bahamas Surgery Center, LLC v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc.,
No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.) (
“Bahamas”
), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment) and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns. On June 1, 2016, the plaintiff moved for class certification of a California-only damages class and a California-only injunctive relief class. Although the plaintiff did not also move for certification of a nationwide class to determine liability, damages, or injunctive relief, it did move for certification of a nationwide “issue” class purporting to resolve certain issues allegedly “common” to members of that class. On July 8, 2016, we moved for summary judgment. On November 8, 2016, the court granted in part and denied in part the plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The court certified a California-only class for damages and injunctive relief arising from
fraud by omission
, but it rejected certification of a California-only class arising from
affirmative fraud
, and it also rejected certification of a nationwide “issue” class. The court also rejected the plaintiff’s request for “full restitution” damages, meaning the full value of the gowns. Instead, the court found any damages would be based on the difference between the purchase price of the gowns and what the purchase price would have been for gowns with no AAMI rating. On November 15, 2016, the court denied our motion for summary judgment. The parties remain engaged in discovery. The trial is scheduled to begin on March 28, 2017. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of the matter.
In June 2015, we were served with a subpoena from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (“VA OIG”) seeking information related to the design, manufacture, testing, sale and promotion of MicroCool and other Company surgical gowns, and, in July 2015, we also became aware that the subpoena and an earlier VA OIG subpoena served on Kimberly-Clark requesting information about gown sales to the federal government are related to a United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation. In May 2016, we were also served with a subpoena from the Department of Justice seeking further information related to Company gowns. The Company is cooperating with the VA OIG’s request and the DOJ investigation.
On October 12, 2016, after the DOJ submitted filings on behalf of itself and various States declining to intervene in two qui tam matters, both matters were unsealed. One of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
No. 2:14-cv-08313-JAK-JPR (C. D. Cal.) (
“Shahinian”)
, filed on October 27, 2014. The other of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Edgett, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al,
No. 3:15-cv-00434-B (N.D. Tex.) (
“Edgett”
), filed on February 9, 2015. Both cases allege, among other things, violations of both the federal and state False Claims Acts in connection with the marketing and sale of certain surgical gowns. On November 7, 2016, Dr. Shahinian served his complaint on Kimberly-Clark, and on February 6, 2017, he served an amended complaint on Kimberly-Clark. On January 9, 2017, Mr. Edgett served his complaint on both Kimberly-Clark and Halyard Health. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for the two matters under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend the cases.
We were served with a complaint in a matter styled
Jackson v. Halyard Health, Inc., Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-05093-LTS (S.D.N.Y.), filed on June 28, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other defendants, asserting claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made misrepresentations and failed to disclose certain information about the safety and effectiveness of our MicroCool gowns and thereby artificially inflated the Company’s stock prices during the respective class periods. The alleged class period for purchasers of Kimberly-Clark securities who subsequently received Halyard Health securities is February 25, 2013 to October 21, 2014, and the alleged class period for purchasers of Halyard Health securities is October 21, 2014 to April 29, 2016. On February 16, 2017, we moved to dismiss the case. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of this matter.
We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Margaret C. Richardson Trustee of the Survivors Trust Dated 6/12/84 for the Benefit of the H&M Richardson Revocable Trust v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-06296 (S. D. N. Y.) (
“Richardson”
), filed on August 9, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty, were unjustly enriched, and violated Section 14(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act in connection with Halyard Health, Inc.’s marketing and sale of MicroCool gowns. We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Kai Chiu v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al
, No. 2:16-cv-08768 (C.D. Cal.), filed on November 23, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and makes allegations and brings causes of action similar to those in
Richardson
, but the plaintiff also adds causes of action for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. We intend to vigorously defend these matters.

||
We were also served with a complaint in the matter styled
Medline Industries, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al.
, No. 2:16-cv-08571 (C. D. Cal.). In that case, the plaintiff makes allegations similar to those in
Bahamas
,
Shahinian
, and
Edgett
, and brings causes of action under federal and state false advertising laws and state unfair competition laws. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend it.
We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation and competitors may claim that our products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. At any given time we may be involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time.
We maintain general and professional liability, product liability and other insurance in an amount that we believe is reasonably adequate to insulate us from material liability for claims. However, our insurance policies may not cover all of these matters and may not fully cover liabilities arising out of these matters. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify our directors and officers against these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However the above matters, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business and result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have an accrued liability which management believes is adequate for the matters described herein. The accrued liability is included in “Accrued Expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet in Item 8 of this report.
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Not applicable.

and
2015

Performance
The graph below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock from October 21, 2014, the first day of trading for our common stock on a when-issued basis, through
December 31, 2016
with the cumulative return of companies comprising the Standard and Poor’s S&P MidCap 400 Index and the S&P 500 Health Care Equipment and Services Index. The graph plots the change in value of an initial investment of $100 in each of our common stock, the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the S&P 500 Health Care Equipment and Services Index over the indicated time periods and assumes reinvestment of all dividends, if any, paid on the securities. We have not paid any cash dividends, and therefore, the cumulative total return calculation for us is based solely upon stock price appreciation and not upon reinvestment of cash dividends. The stock price performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
Introduction
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our recent performance, financial condition and prospects and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this annual report on Form 10-K. This MD&A represents the global operations of Halyard and its subsidiaries as an independent publicly-traded company following our spin-off from Kimberly-Clark (the “Spin-off”), and a combined reporting entity comprising the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Kimberly-Clark’s Health Care business prior to the Spin-off. The following will be discussed and analyzed:

|
Acquisition of Medsystems Holdings, Inc.
On
May 2, 2016
, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) a Delaware corporation, for a purchase price of
$175 million
, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded with a combination of cash on hand and our revolving credit facility (see “Debt” in
Note 6
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report). Medsystems owns and conducts its primary business through CORPAK Medsystems (Medsystems and CORPAK Medsystems hereinafter referred to as “Corpak”). Corpak’s innovative enteral access feeding solutions and portfolio of nasogastric feeding tubes complement our existing enteral feeding products and create a complete offering of enteral feeding solutions within our Medical Devices segment. Upon Acquisition, we initiated activities to integrate the operations of Corpak into our company. These activities include, but are not limited to, integration of corporate functions, information technology and alignment with our operations.
In June 2016, we initiated a restructuring plan to close the Corpak corporate headquarters and operating facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and consolidated operations into our existing corporate and operational facilities by the third quarter of 2017 (the “Plan”). For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have accrued
$4 million
for severance and benefits for employees impacted by the Plan. For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have paid
$1 million
to affected employees and the remaining accrual for severance and employee benefits was
$3 million
as of
December 31, 2016
.
For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have incurred
$18 million
for the acquisition, integration and restructuring activities described above, consisting primarily of severance and benefits, consulting, legal and other costs. These costs are included in “Cost of products sold” and “Selling and general expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statement.
Overview of Business
Halyard is a medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding recovery and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients. We are committed to addressing some of today’s most important healthcare needs, such as reducing the use of opioids while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. Our Medical Devices and Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) business segments develop, manufacture and market clinically superior solutions around the globe.
Consolidated net sales increased
$18 million
to
$1.6 billion
in the year ended
December 31, 2016
driven primarily by the acquisition of Corpak, which provided
$36 million
of incremental net sales, along with improved volume across all product categories in the Medical Devices segment. The incremental net sales from Corpak was partially offset by lower sales of rolled
|
21
|
||
non-woven materials to Kimberly-Clark, which is included in “Corporate and Other,” and price loss in the S&IP segment. The S&IP market remains challenging. However, we continue to defend our market positions and have introduced 11 new products, including five in the Medical Devices business and six in the S&IP business.
Consolidated operating profit was
$87 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to an operating loss of
$378 million
in the prior year. The primary driver of last year’s operating loss was a goodwill impairment charge of
$474 million
. Other items that impacted operating profit in
2016
and
2015
include the following:
Spin-related costs:
In the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we incurred
$21 million
of spin-related costs, primarily for rebranding activities. Efforts to transition all of our products to Halyard-branded products are substantially complete. However, we will continue to sell products bearing the Kimberly-Clark brand through
April of 2017
. In the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we incurred
$54 million
of costs for spin-related activities and recognized a
$12 million
gain on the sale of an exam glove manufacturing facility in Thailand.
Acquisition-related costs:
As mentioned earlier, we completed the acquisition of Corpak and incurred
$18 million
of costs incurred in connection with the Acquisition. These costs include
$13 million
related to acquisition and integration activities and
$5 million
related to restructuring activities as we consolidate Corpak’s headquarters and operating facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois into our existing corporate and operational facilities. See “Business Acquisition” in
Note 2

Legal matters:
In the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we incurred
$20 million
of expenses for certain litigation matters compared to
$17 million
in the prior year. See “Commitments and Contingencies” in
Note 11
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report.
Amortization expenses:

N.M. - Not meaningful
Net Sales by Segment -
2016
Compared to
2015
Net sales for the year ended
December 31, 2016
were
1%
higher than the prior year primarily due to incremental sales provided by Corpak and higher volume in the Medical Devices segment partially offset by lower sales of non-woven materials and price loss in the S&IP segment.
Medical Devices
Net sales in the Medical Devices segment increased
11%
to
$567 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$58 million
compared to last year. The acquisition of Corpak provided
$36 million
, or
7%
of the increase, and the remaining
4%
is the result of improved sales volume across all product categories within the segment.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP net sales decreased
2%
to
$1.0 billion
, a decrease of
$18 million
compared to last year. Volume gains from exam gloves were more than offset by volume losses in other product categories, particularly in surgical drapes and gowns, and price loss across all product categories, but particularly in exam gloves and sterilization.
Net Sales by Segment -
2015
Compared to
2014
Net sales declined
6%
to
$1.6 billion
compared to
$1.7 billion
in 2014 due to unfavorable currency exchange rates and lower pricing and volume resulting from an increasingly competitive environment in the S&IP segment. This decline was partially offset by higher volume in the Medical Devices segment.
Medical Devices
Medical Devices net sales increased
2%
to
$510 million
compared to
$502 million
in 2014 primarily due to higher volume in interventional pain due to healthy sales growth of COOLIEF, as well as growth in digestive health. The impacts were partially offset by lower volume in surgical pain and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP net sales declined
10%
to
$1.0 billion
compared to
$1.1 billion
in 2014. This decline was due to unfavorable currency exchange rates, lower pricing and volume particularly for exam gloves and sterilization wrap due to competitive pressure, and lower volume in facial protection and protective apparel primarily due to pandemic-related sales in 2014.

Net Sales by Geographic Region -
2016
Compared to
2015
North America net sales in
2016
were even compared to
2015
. Net sales from the Corpak acquisition and volume gains across all Medical Device categories and exam gloves were offset by lower sales of non-woven materials, price loss in the S&IP business, particularly in gloves, and lower S&IP volume, particularly in surgical drapes and gowns.
Net sales in EMEA increased by
2%
primarily due to incremental sales from the Corpak acquisition partially offset by unfavorable currency exchange rates and price loss in both the Medical Devices and S&IP segments.
In Asia Pacific and Latin America, sales increased by
9%
primarily due to volume gains, particularly in exam gloves, and across all product categories in the Medical Devices business, partially offset by price loss in exam gloves and surgical drapes and gowns.
Net Sales by Geographic Region -
2015
Compared to
2014
Net sales in North America decreased by
2%
compared to
2014
primarily due to lower S&IP volume in surgical drapes and gowns and apparel and unfavorable pricing in exam gloves, partially offset by higher Medical Devices volume in interventional pain and digestive health.
Net sales in EMEA decreased by
16%
compared to
2014
primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange rates and lower S&IP volume in surgical drapes and gowns partially offset by higher Medical Devices volume in digestive health.
In Asia Pacific and Latin America, net sales decreased by
16%
compared to
2014
driven by unfavorable currency exchange rates, lower S&IP volume in surgical drapes and gowns and sterilization, unfavorable pricing in surgical drapes and gowns and exam gloves partially offset by higher exam glove volume.

Operating (Loss) Profit -
2016
Compared to
2015
In
2016
, our consolidated operating profit was
$87 million
compared to an operating loss of
$378 million
. The prior year’s operating loss was driven primarily by a goodwill impairment charge of
$474 million
. Our operating profit is impacted by a number of items, as described previously in this MD&A under “Overview of Business.”
Medical Devices
Operating profit in the Medical Devices segment was
15%
higher than last year. Operating profit benefited from the incremental net sales provided by the Corpak acquisition and volume gains across all product categories partially offset by increased research and development spending and higher selling expenses to drive future growth.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP operating profit decreased
8%
primarily due to the factors described previously in “Net Sales by Segment” partially offset by favorable currency exchange rates and lower costs for manufacturing and distribution.
Operating Profit -
2015
Compared to
2014
The operating loss in
2015
was driven by a
$474 million
goodwill impairment charge and continued net spin-related transition costs of
$42 million
. In
2014
, “Corporate and Other” included charges of
$60 million
related to the exit from our glove manufacturing facility in Thailand,
$89 million
of pre-spin transaction charges associated with the Spin-off and incremental transition expenses of
$12 million
following the Spin-off.
Medical Devices
Operating profit in the Medical Devices business was
3%
higher than
2014
primarily due to higher volume, manufacturing cost savings and lower general expenses related to lower intangible asset amortization expense partially offset by expenses related to operating as a stand-alone company.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
Operating profit in the S&IP business was
41%
lower than
2014
primarily due to pricing and volume challenges noted in the discussion of net sales along with unfavorable currency exchange rates and higher general expenses related to operating as a stand-alone company partially offset by favorable raw materials pricing, primarily for oil-based polymers.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income was not material in the years ended
December 31, 2016
or
2015
and was
$3 million
in
2014
.
Interest expense was
$33 million
in each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
and
$6 million
in
2014
. Interest expense consists primarily of interest and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs on our senior secured term loan and our senior unsecured notes. Interest expense in
2014
represents only two months of expense since our credit facilities were established late that year. See “Debt” in
Note 6
to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of our indebtedness.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was
$16 million
in each of the years ended December 31,
2016
and
2015
. Our effective tax rate was
28%
in
2016
. Our effective tax rate was
(4)%
in
2015
due primarily to goodwill impairment. Our effective tax rate was
70%
in
2014
due to spin-related foreign cash repatriation and non-deductible transaction costs. See “Income Taxes” in
Note 7
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand provided by operating activities and amounts available under our revolving credit facility. Cash provided by operations has been and is expected to remain a primary source of funds. Cash provided by operations has historically generated sufficient cash to fund our investments in working capital and capital expenditures. As of
December 31, 2016
,
$59 million
of our
$114 million
of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and currently do not have plans to repatriate such earnings. We do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future. We believe that our ability to generate cash from domestic and international operations and the borrowing capacity under our available credit facilities are adequate to fund our requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other investments necessary to grow our business for the foreseeable future for both our domestic and international operations.
Cash and equivalents decreased by
$16 million
to
$114 million
as of
December 31, 2016
compared to
$130 million
last year. The decrease was driven by
$175 million
used in our acquisition of Corpak and
$29 million
of capital expenditures partially offset by
$189 million
of cash provided by operating activities. The Corpak acquisition was initially funded with
$103 million
of available cash on hand and
$72 million
drawn from our revolving credit facility. The amount drawn from our revolving credit facility was repaid by the end of the year.
Cash and equivalents decreased by
$19 million
to
$130 million
as of
December 31, 2015
compared to
$149 million
as of
December 31, 2014
. The decrease was driven primarily by
$51 million
of debt repayments, which includes a
$50 million
prepayment on our senior secured term loan, and
$70 million
of capital expenditures partially offset by
$98 million
of cash provided by operating activities.
The
$105 million
increase in cash and equivalents in the year ended
December 31, 2014
reflects the cash flows of Kimberly-Clark’s healthcare business through
October 31, 2014
and the cash flows of Halyard Health as an independent stand-alone public company from
November 1, 2014
through
December 31, 2014
. The Spin-off payment to Kimberly-Clark, net of transfers from Kimberly-Clark of
$587 million
,
$79 million
of capital expenditures,
$14 million
of debt repayments and
$12 million
paid for debt issuance costs were more than offset by
$638 million
of proceeds from the issuance of debt,
$148 million
of cash provided by operating activities and
$8 million
of proceeds from the sale of property.
Operating Activities
Operating activities provided
$189 million
in the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$98 million
in the prior year and was favorably impacted by improvements in working capital, particularly inventories and accrued expenses, resulting in a
$92 million
benefit to our operating cash flow.

26
|
||
Operating activities provided
$98 million
in the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to
$148 million
in
2014
primarily due to lower net income, excluding goodwill and asset impairments, and net cash invested in working capital.
Investing Activities
For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, the
$201 million
used in investing activities included the acquisition of Corpak for
$175 million
, net of cash acquired (see “Business Acquisition” in
Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report). Capital expenditures were
$29 million
, using cash on hand. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had an additional
$6 million
of capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses that are expected to be paid using cash on hand.
Investing activities used
$63 million
and
$71 million
in the years ended
December 31, 2015
and
2014
, respectively, consisting primarily of capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
During
2016
, we borrowed and repaid
$72 million
on our revolving credit facility, and paid
$1 million
of debt issuance costs in conjunction with an amendment to our senior secured term loan facility (see discussion below and “Debt” in
Note 6
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report).
Financing activities used
$51 million
in
2015
, which consisted primarily of debt repayments. In
2014
, financing activities provided
$29 million
consisting primarily of debt proceeds and contributions from Kimberly-Clark partially offset by the spin-off cash distribution to Kimberly-Clark.
Long-Term Debt
As of
December 31, 2016
, total debt was
$579 million
, consisting of (i)
$332 million
, net of unamortized discount, on our senior secured term loan and (ii)
$247 million
, net of unamortized discount, on our senior unsecured notes.
Our senior secured term loan matures on
October 31, 2021
(the “Term Loan Facility”) and is under a credit agreement that also includes a senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on
October 31, 2019
which allows for borrowings up to
$250 million
, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an amount of
$75 million
and a swingline sub-facility in an amount of
$25 million
(the “Revolving Credit Facility” and along with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities allow for floating rate LIBOR or base rate loans. In
December 2016
, we executed an amendment to the Term Loan Facility (the “Amendment”), under which the margin, or “spread” that was charged over the available floating interest rates was reduced by
0.5%
.
Funds under our Revolving Credit Facility are available for acquisitions, working capital or other requirements. On
May 2, 2016

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. The critical accounting policies we used in the preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements are those that are important both to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require significant judgments by management with regard to estimates used. The critical judgments by management relate to distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies and deferred income taxes and potential tax assessments.
Recently Adopted and Issued Pronouncements
See “Accounting Policies” in
Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report for recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Use of Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of the change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Sales revenue is recognized at the time of product shipment or delivery, depending on when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the following have occurred: evidence of a sales arrangement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales are reported net of returns, rebates and freight allowed. Distributor rebates are estimated based on the historical cost difference between list prices and average end-user contract prices and the quantity of products expected to be sold to specific end users. We maintain liabilities at the end of each period for the estimated rebate costs incurred but unpaid for these programs. Differences between estimated and actual rebate costs are normally not material and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Rebate accruals were
$56 million
and
$74 million
as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenue-producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We completed the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of
July 1, 2016
, and the fair values for both our
|
28
|
||
Medical Devices and S&IP reporting units were substantially in excess of their respective net asset carrying values. See “Goodwill” in
Note 3
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.
The evaluation of goodwill involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We used a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the current fair value of our reporting units. The fair value determination utilized key assumptions regarding the growth of the business, each of which required management judgment, including estimated future sales volumes, selling prices and costs, changes in working capital and investments in property and equipment. These assumptions and estimates were based upon our historical experience and projections of future activity. In addition, the selection of the discount rate used to determine fair value was based upon a market participant’s view considering current market rates and our current cost of financing. There can be no assurance that the assumptions and estimates made for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate. Volatility in the equity and debt markets, or increases in interest rates, could result in a higher discount rate. Changes in sales volumes, selling prices and costs of goods sold, additional stand-alone public company costs, and increases in interest rates could cause changes in our forecasted cash flows. Unfavorable changes in any of the factors described above could result in a goodwill impairment charge in the future.
As of
December 31, 2016
we had
$6 million
of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we acquired in connection with our acquisition of Corpak and represents IPR&D projects that we expect to launch in
2017
.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we had intangible assets with finite useful lives with a gross carrying amount of
$433 million
and a net carrying amount of
$164 million
. These intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss would be indicated. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded would be based on the excess of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over its fair value (based on discounted future cash flows). Judgment is used in assessing whether the carrying amount of intangible assets is not expected to be recoverable over their estimated remaining useful lives. The factors considered are similar to those outlined in the goodwill impairment discussion above.
Loss Contingencies
The outcome of loss contingencies and legal proceedings and claims brought against us is subject to uncertainty. An estimated loss contingency is accrued by a charge to earnings if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Determination of whether to accrue a loss requires evaluation of the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate. Changes in these estimates could affect the timing and amount of accrual of loss contingencies.
Income Taxes
We recognize tax benefits in our financial statements when our uncertain tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit. The amount we recognize is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
We recognize deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards. We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses. This assessment, which is completed on a taxing jurisdiction basis, takes into account a number of types of evidence, including the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative financial reporting losses, sources of future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback year(s) and tax planning strategies.
If it is determined that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset would increase income in the period that such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset would decrease income in the period such determination was made. We regularly evaluate the need for valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets.

Prior to the Spin-off, for purposes of the consolidated financial statements, our operations were included in Kimberly-Clark’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns and some of its foreign income tax returns. The provision for income taxes and related deferred tax balances were estimated as if we filed income tax returns on a stand-alone basis separate from Kimberly-Clark.
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters, including the matters described below. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark prior to the Spin-off, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters (“Indemnification Obligation”). For the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, we have incurred
$20 million
and
$17 million
, respectively, related to these matters.
The only exception to the Indemnification Obligation relates to the pain pump litigation referenced in this paragraph. We are one of several manufacturers of continuous infusion medical devices, such as our ON-Q PAINBUSTER pain pumps, that are involved in several different pending or threatened litigation matters from multiple plaintiffs alleging that use of the continuous infusion device to deliver anesthetics directly into a synovial joint after surgery resulted in postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis, or a disintegration of the cartilage covering the bones in the joint (typically, in the shoulder). Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. While Kimberly-Clark is retaining the liabilities related to these matters, the distribution agreement between us and Kimberly-Clark provides that we will indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any such claims or causes of actions arising after the Spin-off.
We have an Indemnification Obligation for, and have assumed the defense of, the matter styled
Bahamas Surgery Center, LLC v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc.,
No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.) (
“Bahamas”
), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment) and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns. On June 1, 2016, the plaintiff moved for class certification of a California-only damages class and a California-only injunctive relief class. Although the plaintiff did not also move for certification of a nationwide class to determine liability, damages, or injunctive relief, it did move for certification of a nationwide “issue” class purporting to resolve certain issues allegedly “common” to members of that class. On July 8, 2016, we moved for summary judgment. On November 8, 2016, the court granted in part and denied in part the plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The court certified a California-only class for damages and injunctive relief arising from
fraud by omission
, but it rejected certification of a California-only class arising from
affirmative fraud
, and it also rejected certification of a nationwide “issue” class. The court also rejected the plaintiff’s request for “full restitution” damages, meaning the full value of the gowns. Instead, the court found any damages would be based on the difference between the purchase price of the gowns and what the purchase price would have been for gowns with no AAMI rating. On November 15, 2016, the court denied our motion for summary judgment. The parties remain engaged in discovery. The trial is scheduled to begin on March 28, 2017. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of the matter.
In June 2015, we were served with a subpoena from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (“VA OIG”) seeking information related to the design, manufacture, testing, sale and promotion of MicroCool and other Company surgical gowns, and, in July 2015, we also became aware that the subpoena and an earlier VA OIG subpoena served on Kimberly-Clark requesting information about gown sales to the federal government are related to a United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation. In May 2016, we were also served with a subpoena from the Department of Justice seeking further information related to Company gowns. The Company is cooperating with the VA OIG’s request and the DOJ investigation.
On October 12, 2016, after the DOJ submitted filings on behalf of itself and various States declining to intervene in two qui tam matters, both matters were unsealed. One of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
No. 2:14-cv-08313-JAK-JPR (C. D. Cal.) (
“Shahinian”
), filed on October 27, 2014. The other of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Edgett, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al,
No. 3:15-cv-00434-B (N.D. Tex.) (
“Edgett”
), filed on February 9, 2015. Both cases allege, among other things, violations of both the federal and state False Claims Acts in connection with the marketing and sale of certain surgical gowns. On November 7, 2016, Dr. Shahinian served his complaint on Kimberly-Clark, and on February 6, 2017, he served an amended complaint on Kimberly-Clark. On January 9, 2017, Mr. Edgett
|
30
|
||
served his complaint on both Kimberly-Clark and Halyard Health. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for the two matters under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend the cases.
We were served with a complaint in a matter styled
Jackson v. Halyard Health, Inc., Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-05093-LTS (S.D.N.Y.), filed on June 28, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other defendants, asserting claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made misrepresentations and failed to disclose certain information about the safety and effectiveness of our MicroCool gowns and thereby artificially inflated the Company’s stock prices during the respective class periods. The alleged class period for purchasers of Kimberly-Clark securities who subsequently received Halyard Health securities is February 25, 2013 to October 21, 2014, and the alleged class period for purchasers of Halyard Health securities is October 21, 2014 to April 29, 2016. On February 16, 2017, we moved to dismiss the case. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of this matter.
We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Margaret C. Richardson Trustee of the Survivors Trust Dated 6/12/84 for the Benefit of the H&M Richardson Revocable Trust v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-06296 (S. D. N. Y.) (
“Richardson”
), filed on August 9, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty, were unjustly enriched, and violated Section 14(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act in connection with Halyard Health, Inc.’s marketing and sale of MicroCool gowns. We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Kai Chiu v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al
, No. 2:16-cv-08768 (C.D. Cal.), filed on November 23, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and makes allegations and brings causes of action similar to those in
Richardson
, but the plaintiff also adds causes of action for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. We intend to vigorously defend these matters.
We were also served with a complaint in the matter styled
Medline Industries, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al.
, No. 2:16-cv-08571 (C. D. Cal.). In that case, the plaintiff makes allegations similar to those in
Bahamas
,
Shahinian
, and
Edgett
, and brings causes of action under federal and state false advertising laws and state unfair competition laws. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend it.
We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation and competitors may claim that our products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. At any given time we may be involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time.
We maintain general and professional liability, product liability and other insurance in an amount that we believe is reasonably adequate to insulate us from material liability for claims. However, our insurance policies may not cover all of these matters and may not fully cover liabilities arising out of these matters. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify our directors and officers against these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However the above matters, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business and result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have an accrued liability which management believes is adequate for the matters described herein. The accrued liability is included in “Accrued Expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet in Item 8 of this report.
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report on Form 10-K and other materials we have filed or furnished or will file or furnish with the SEC (as well as information included in our oral or other written statements) contain, or will contain, certain “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters.

|
31
|
||
“project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan” or “continue” and similar expressions, among others. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
|
•
|
general economic conditions particularly in the United States,
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in global equity and fixed-income markets,
|
|
•
|
the competitive environment,
|
|
•
|
the loss of current customers or the inability to obtain new customers,
|
|
•
|
litigation and enforcement actions,
|
|
•
|
price fluctuations in key commodities,
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates,

|
Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
|
ITEM 7A.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
We are exposed to risks such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. A variety of practices are employed to manage these risks, including derivative instruments where deemed appropriate. Derivative instruments are used only for risk management purposes and not for speculation. All foreign currency derivative instruments are entered into with major financial institutions. Our credit exposure under these arrangements is limited to agreements with a positive fair value at the reporting date. Credit risk with respect to the counterparties is actively monitored but is not considered significant.
Presented below is a description of our risk together with a sensitivity analysis, performed annually, based on selected changes in market rates and prices. These analyses reflect management’s view of changes which are reasonably possible to occur over a one-year period. Also included is a description of our commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is managed by the systematic use of foreign currency forward and swap contracts for a limited portion of our exposure. The use of these instruments allows the management of transactional exposures to exchange rate fluctuations because the gains or losses incurred on the derivative instruments will offset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency exposure.
Foreign currency contracts and transactional exposures are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. An annual test is performed to quantify the effects that possible changes in foreign currency exchange rates would have on annual operating profit based on our foreign currency contracts and transactional exposures at the current year-end. The balance sheet effect is calculated by multiplying each affiliate’s net monetary asset or liability position by a
10%
change in the foreign currency exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar. The results of these sensitivity tests are presented in the following paragraph.
As of
December 31, 2016
, a
10%
unfavorable change in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the prevailing market rates of foreign currencies involving balance sheet transactional exposures would have an effect of
$2 million
to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These hypothetical losses on transactional exposures are based on the difference between the
December 31, 2016
rates and the assumed rates.
|
32
|
||
The translation of the balance sheets of non-U.S. operations from local currencies into U.S. dollars is also sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, an annual test is performed to determine if changes in currency exchange rates would have a significant effect on the translation of the balance sheets of non-U.S. operations into U.S. dollars. These translation gains or losses are recorded as unrealized translation adjustments (“UTA”) within stockholders’ equity. The hypothetical change in UTA is calculated by multiplying the net assets of these non-U.S. operations by a 10% change in the currency exchange rates.
As of
December 31, 2016
, a
10%
unfavorable change in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the prevailing market rates of our foreign currency translation exposures would have reduced stockholders’ equity by approximately
$21 million
. These hypothetical adjustments in UTA are based on the difference between the
December 31, 2016
exchange rates and the assumed rates. In the view of management, the above UTA adjustments resulting from these assumed changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not material to our consolidated financial position because they would not affect our cash flow.
Commodity Price Risk
We are subject to commodity price risk, the most significant of which relates to the price of polypropylene and nitrile. As previously discussed under “Risk Factors,” increases in commodities prices could adversely affect our earnings if selling prices are not adjusted or if such adjustments significantly trail the increases in commodities prices.
Our energy, manufacturing and transportation costs are affected by various market factors including the availability of supplies of particular forms of energy, energy prices and local and national regulatory decisions. As previously discussed in “Risk Factors,” there can be no assurance we will be fully protected against substantial changes in the price or availability of energy sources. In addition, we are subject to price risk for utilities and manufacturing inputs, which are used in our manufacturing operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our Senior Secured Term Loan with a remaining face value of
$339 million
is subject to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR, subject to a floor of
0.75%
. As of
December 31, 2016
, a
one percentage point
increase in LIBOR would result in
$3 million
of incremental interest expense.

HALYARD HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
. Accounting Policies
Background and Basis of Presentation
Halyard Health, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding recovery and preventing infection for healthcare providers and patients. We are committed to addressing some of today’s most important healthcare needs, such as reducing the use of opioids while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We operate in
two
business segments: Medical Devices and Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”).
References to “Halyard,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Halyard Health, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to “Kimberly-Clark” mean Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
On
October 31, 2014
, Kimberly-Clark distributed all of our capital stock to its shareholders and completed a previously announced spin-off of its healthcare division (the “Spin-off”). Halyard was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in
February, 2014
in anticipation of that Spin-off and Kimberly-Clark transferred its Health Care business to us prior to the Spin-off.
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
represent our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as an independent publicly-traded company. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2014
represent our results of operations and cash flows as an independent publicly-traded company beginning on
November 1, 2014
, and a combined reporting entity comprising the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Kimberly-Clark’s healthcare business prior to
November 1, 2014
. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
For periods prior to the Spin-off, cash transferred to and from Kimberly-Clark is presented as net transfers to or from Kimberly-Clark in the accompanying consolidated cash flow statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our net assets and results of our operations and cash flows as described above. All intercompany transactions and accounts within our consolidated businesses have been eliminated.
Prior to
November 1, 2014
, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows were prepared on a combined stand-alone basis derived from Kimberly-Clark’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. All transactions between Kimberly-Clark and us were included in the combined financial statements and are reflected in the cash flow statement for the year ended
December 31, 2014
as net transfers to or from Kimberly-Clark within financing activities.
Use of Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of the change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less. We maintain cash balances and short-term investments in excess of insurable limits in a diversified group of major banks that are selected and monitored based on ratings by the major rating agencies in accordance with our treasury policy.

Inventories and Distribution Costs
Most U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method, or market. The balance of the U.S. and non-U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) or weighted-average cost methods) or market. Distribution costs are classified as cost of products sold.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily
40 years
. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily ranging from
16
to
20 years
. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives, or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Purchases of computer software, including external costs and certain internal costs (including payroll and payroll-related costs of employees) directly associated with developing significant computer software applications for internal use, are capitalized. Computer software costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally
three
to
five years
. Depreciation expense is recorded in cost of products sold, research and development and selling and general expenses.
Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and when warranted, changes are made to them. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset group, which are identifiable and largely independent of the cash flows of other asset groups, are less than the carrying amount of the asset group. Measurement of an impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. Fair value is measured using discounted cash flows or independent appraisals, as appropriate. When property is sold or retired, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss on the transaction is included in income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The evaluation of goodwill involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We used a combination of income and market approaches to estimate the current fair value of our reporting units. The fair value determination utilized key assumptions regarding the growth of the business, each of which required management judgment, including estimated future sales volumes, selling prices and costs, changes in working capital and investments in property and equipment. These assumptions and estimates were based upon our historical experience and projections of future activity. In addition, the selection of the discount rate used to determine fair value was based upon a market participant’s view considering current market rates and our current cost of financing. There can be no assurance that the assumptions and estimates made for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate. Volatility in the equity and debt markets, or increases in interest rates, could result in a higher discount rate. Changes in sales volumes, selling prices and costs of goods sold and increases in interest rates could cause changes in our forecasted cash flows. Unfavorable changes in any of the factors described above could result in a goodwill impairment charge in the future. We completed the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of
July 1, 2016
, and the fair values for both our Medical Devices and S&IP reporting units were substantially in excess of their respective net asset carrying values.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated useful lives range from
7
to
30 years
for trademarks,
7
to
17 years
for patents and acquired technologies, and
2
to
16 years
for other intangible assets. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be measured as the difference between the fair value (based on discounted future cash flows) and the carrying amount of the asset.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Sales revenue is recognized at the time of product shipment or delivery, depending on when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the following have occurred: evidence of a sales arrangement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales are reported net of returns, rebates and freight allowed. Distributor rebates are estimated based on the historical cost difference between list prices and average end user contract prices and the quantity of products expected to be sold to specific end users. We maintain liabilities at the end of each period for the estimated rebate costs incurred but unpaid for these programs. Differences between estimated and actual rebate costs are normally not
|

|
||
material and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenue-producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
Net sales to
one
customer accounted for
11%
,
18%
and
19%
, respectively, of net sales in
2016
,
2015
and
2014
. No other customer accounted for more than
10%
of net sales in any of the periods presented herein. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had
one
customer who individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated accounts receivable balance. There were
no
customers that individually accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated accounts receivable balance in
2015
.
The allowances for doubtful accounts, sales discounts and returns were
$2 million
as of each year ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts was not material for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
Foreign Currency Translation
The income statements of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect each month. The balance sheets of these operations are translated at period-end exchange rates, and the differences from historical exchange rates are reflected as unrealized translation adjustments in other comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
All derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are either recorded in the income statement or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is included in other comprehensive income in the period that changes in fair value occur, and is reclassified to income in the same period that the hedged item affects income. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in income. Certain foreign-currency derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments have been entered into to manage a portion of our foreign currency transactional exposures. The gain or loss on these derivatives is included in income in the period that changes in their fair values occur. Our policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation. Our policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument. Consistent with our policies, foreign currency derivative instruments are entered into with major financial institutions. At inception we formally designate certain derivatives as cash flow hedges and establish how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured. This process links the derivatives to the transactions they are hedging. See
Note 12
, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, product trial costs, outside laboratory and license fees, the costs of laboratory equipment and facilities and asset write-offs for equipment that does not reach success in product manufacturing certifications.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based Equity Participation Plan and an Outside Directors’ Compensation Plan that provide for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (and in certain limited cases, unrestricted stock), restricted stock units, performance units and cash awards to eligible employees (including officers who are employees), directors, advisors and consultants. Stock-based compensation is initially measured at the fair value of the awards on the grant date and is recognized in the financial statements over the period the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the awards. The fair value of option awards is measured on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of time-based and some performance-based restricted share awards is based on the Halyard stock price at the grant date and the assessed probability of meeting future performance targets. For performance-based restricted share units for which vesting is conditioned upon achieving a measure of total shareholder return, fair value is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. Generally, new shares are issued to satisfy vested restricted stock units and exercises of stock options. See
Note 10
, “Stock-Based Compensation.”
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in income in the period such
|
41
|
||
changes are enacted. The provision for federal, state, and foreign income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Recording the provision for income taxes requires management to make significant judgments and estimates for matters whose ultimate resolution may not become known until the final resolution of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state and foreign agencies. If it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Recording liabilities for uncertain tax positions involves judgment in evaluating our tax positions and developing the best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. We include any related tax penalties and interest in income tax expense.
Prior to the Spin-off, our income taxes were calculated on a separate tax return basis, although operations have been included in Kimberly-Clark’s U.S. federal, state and foreign tax returns. Our income tax results as presented were not necessarily indicative of future performance and did not necessarily reflect the results that we would have generated as an independent publicly-traded company for the periods presented.
Employee Defined Benefit Plans
We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit as an asset or a liability on our balance sheet. Actuarial gains or losses are a component of our other comprehensive income, which is then included in our accumulated other comprehensive income. Pension expenses are recognized over the period in which the employee renders service and becomes eligible to receive benefits. We make assumptions (including the discount rate and expected rate of return on plan assets) in computing the pension expense and obligations.
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In
April 2015
, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05,
Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.
This ASU provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and the appropriate accounting for such arrangements. Notably, the guidance in this ASU already exists in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 985-605,
Software - Revenue Recognition,
which is used by cloud service providers to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. We adopted this ASU as of
January 1, 2016
. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2015
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01,
Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.
ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates ASC Subtopic 225-20,
Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items
, which required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose transactions and events that were determined to be both unusual and infrequent as extraordinary items. We adopted this ASU as of
January 1, 2016
. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
August 2014
, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,
that will require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management will assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date. Substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The new standard defines substantial doubt and provides example indicators. Disclosure is required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. However, management needs to assess if its plans will alleviate substantial doubt to determine the specific disclosures. We adopted this ASU as of
December 31, 2016
. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In
January 2017
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,
that replaces the existing two-step goodwill impairment test with a simplified one-step process. This ASU provides that goodwill impairment will be measured as the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value and abandons the second step that requires the measurement of goodwill impairment by comparing the implied value of a reporting unit’s goodwill to the goodwill’s carrying amount. This ASU is to be adopted prospectively for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019
, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after
January 1, 2017
. We plan to
|
42
|
||
adopt this ASU beginning with our next annual goodwill impairment test as of
July 1, 2017
. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2017
, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,
Clarifying the Definition of a Business,
which provides guidance in evaluating whether transactions involve the acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. A business has been defined as having three elements: inputs, processes and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (a “set”) that is a business
usually
has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. Additionally, the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. It is expected that this ASU will reduce the number of transactions that are treated as business combinations. This ASU is to be adopted prospectively for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2017
. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
August 2016
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
This ASU provides guidance on the presentation and classification of certain specific cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and is intended to reduce diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2017
, but earlier adoption is permitted. This ASU is to be adopted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
March 2016
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
This ASU simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, all excess tax benefits or deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the pool of windfall tax benefits as a component of additional paid-in capital is eliminated. In regards to forfeitures, companies may make a one-time policy election to use an estimated forfeiture rate or account for forfeitures as they occur. The policy election regarding forfeitures applies only to instruments with service conditions; the requirement to estimate the probability of achieving performance conditions remains. For statutory tax withholding requirements, this ASU allows for net settlement up to the employer’s maximum statutory tax withholding requirement. Formerly, only the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement was allowed to be met through net settlement while retaining equity classification. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016
. Earlier adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The application of this ASU in regards to the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements should be applied using a modified retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment to additional paid-in capital as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
February 2016
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases.
This ASU requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than
twelve months
. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or an operating lease, with the classification criteria for distinguishing between the two being similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital and operating leases under current GAAP. However, unlike current GAAP, recognition of finance and operating leases on the balance sheet is required, and additional disclosures are required to help financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU requires modified retrospective application for existing leases. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2018
, however, earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will require us to recognize assets and liabilities for operating leases we have entered into for our principal executive offices as well as certain warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities globally. We have not yet determined the impact recognition of such assets and liabilities will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2016
, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.
This ASU requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the equity investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, equity investments without readily determinable fair values may be measured at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments in the same issuer. In
|
43
|
||
addition, this ASU provides for a qualitative impairment assessment for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. This ASU also clarifies that entities should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This ASU should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The provisions related to equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values should be applied prospectively to such equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017
. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
May 2014
, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which, along with subsequent amendments, provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides for a principles-based, five-step approach to measure and recognize revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2017
. Early adoption for periods beginning after
December 15, 2016
is permitted. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new ASU with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new ASU with disclosure of results under old standards. While our review of the effect of this ASU is not yet complete, based on the results of our review to date, we do not expect a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We will continue our evaluation to include the disclosure requirements along with any changes, modifications or interpretations that may affect our current conclusion. We have not selected a transition method, but expect to do so in
2017
upon completion of further analysis.
Note 2
. Business Acquisition
On
May 2, 2016
, Halyard acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) a Delaware corporation, for a purchase price of
$175 million
, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded with a combination of cash on hand and our Revolving Credit Facility (See
Note 6
, “Debt”). Medsystems owns and conducts its primary business through CORPAK Medsystems (Medsystems and CORPAK Medsystems hereinafter referred to as “Corpak”). Corpak’s innovative enteral access feeding solutions and portfolio of nasogastric feeding tubes complement our existing enteral feeding products and create a complete offering of enteral feeding solutions with our Medical Devices segment.
In conjunction with the Acquisition, we identified intangible assets related to currently marketed products and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) that we expect will yield economic benefits in the future. The identified intangible assets include technology, trademarks and customer relationships that were combined into composite intangible assets by product line in consideration of the following:
|
•
|
Our intent was to acquire the product portfolio and the related technology.
|
|
•
|
The trademarks will only be used to market the products associated with the existing technologies. Accordingly their remaining economic lives are similar.
|
|
•
|
The customer base was considered, but was not identified as a separate intangible asset because the cash flows are not separable from the related technology.
|
|
•
|
Low historical customer turnover rates supports longer lives for customer relationships which is consistent with the estimated remaining useful lives for the acquired technologies and trademarks.

Corpak’s results have been included in the accompanying consolidated income statement following the Acquisition on
May 2, 2016
. Corpak’s revenue of
$36 million
for the period from
May 2, 2016
to
December 31, 2016
is included in “Net Sales” in the accompanying consolidated income statements. Net income directly attributable to Corpak was approximately
$1 million
for the period from
May 2, 2016
to
December 31, 2016
. Due to the integration of Corpak’s portfolio of products into our existing digestive health products in the Medical Devices segment, net income is not necessarily indicative of Corpak’s net income as a separate, stand-alone entity.

The pro forma financial information has been adjusted to include the effects of the Acquisition, including acquisition-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, incremental interest expense and related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition taken place as of
January 1, 2015
.
Upon Acquisition, we initiated activities to integrate the operations of Corpak into our company. These activities include, but are not limited to, integration of corporate functions, information technology and alignment with our operations.
For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have incurred
$13 million
for the acquisition and integration activities described above, consisting primarily of severance and benefits, consulting, legal and other costs. These costs are included in “Cost of products sold” and “Selling and general expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statements.
Restructuring
In
June 2016
, we initiated a restructuring plan to close the Corpak corporate headquarters and operating facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and consolidate operations into our existing corporate and operational facilities by the third quarter of
2017
(the “Plan”). We expect to incur costs of
$7 million
related to this Plan, consisting primarily of severance and benefits, accelerated depreciation and lease termination costs. For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have incurred
$5 million
of costs that are included in “Cost of products sold” and “Selling and general expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statements. These costs include
$4 million
of severance and benefits accrued for employees impacted by the Plan. In the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we have paid
$1 million
to affected employees and the remaining accrual for severance and employee benefits was
$3 million
as of
December 31, 2016
.

Note 3
. Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually (as of July 1) or more frequently whenever events or circumstances more likely than not indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. The fair value of our reporting units were estimated using a combination of income (discounted cash flow analysis) and market approaches. Both approaches are dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods, including assumptions with respect to future sales growth, commodity costs and a terminal growth rate. A weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was used to discount future estimated cash flows to their present values. The WACC was based on externally observable data considering market participants’ cost of equity and debt, optimal capital structure and risk factors specific to our company. The market approach estimated the fair value of our business based on comparable publicly-traded companies in our industry.
We completed the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of
July 1, 2016
, and the fair values for both our Medical Devices and S&IP reporting units were substantially in excess of their respective net asset carrying values.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by business segment are as follows (in millions):

Note 5
. Fair Value Information
The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
were
$1 million
and
$2 million
, respectively, and are included in the consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. These derivatives are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of derivatives used to manage foreign currency risk is based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Additional information on our use of derivative instruments is contained in
Note 12
, “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required (in millions):

Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of our senior unsecured notes is determined using observable market prices based on trading activity on a primary exchange. For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, there were no transfers among Level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations. In the prior year, the senior unsecured notes transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy following registration of the notes. Transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs. Changes between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the year.

Senior Secured Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
The senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) is under a credit agreement that also includes a senior secured revolving credit facility allowing borrowings of up to
$250 million
, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an amount of
$75 million
and a swingline sub-facility in an amount of
$25 million
(the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets located in the United States and a certain percentage of our foreign subsidiaries’ capital stock. Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan Facility using the interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of
3.94%
as of
December 31, 2016
.
In
December 2016
, we executed an amendment to the Term Loan Facility (the “Amendment”), under which the margin, or “spread” that was charged over the available floating interest rates, as described below, was reduced by
0.5%
. In conjunction with the amendment we paid fees of
$1 million
which are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Term Loan Facility using the interest method.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, as amended, bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of
0.75%
, plus
2.75%
(formerly
3.25%
prior to the Amendment), or (ii) a base rate, subject to a floor of
0.75%
, (calculated as the greatest of (1) the prime rate, (2) the U.S. federal funds effective rate plus
0.50%
or (3) the one month LIBOR Rate plus
1.00%
) plus
1.75%
(formerly
2.25%
prior to the Amendment). As of
December 31, 2016
, the interest rate in effect for the Term Loan Facility was
3.50%
.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin ranging between
1.75%
to
2.50%
per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging between
0.75%
to
1.50%
per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of our Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee equal to (i)
0.25%
per annum, when our consolidated total leverage ratio is less than
2.25
to 1.00 and (ii)
0.40%
per annum, otherwise. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had
no
borrowings and letters of credit of
$4 million
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving
$246 million
available for borrowing. The maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility is
October 31, 2019
.
On
May 2, 2016
, we borrowed
$72 million
under our Revolving Credit Facility to partially fund our acquisition of Medsystems. See Note 2, “Business Acquisition” for a description of this acquisition. By
December 31, 2016
, we had repaid all of the borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”) will mature on
October 15, 2022
and interest accrues at a rate of
6.25%
per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on
April 15
and
October 15
of each year. The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities. Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the credit agreement using the interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of
6.54%
as of
December 31, 2016
.
|
50
|
||
Debt Covenants
The senior secured term loan and the Notes are subject to similar covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to:
|
•
|
incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, preferred stock;
|
|
•
|
pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock;
|
|
•
|
make certain investments or acquisitions;
|
|
•
|
sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets;
|
|
•
|
create liens;
|
|
•
|
enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers;
|
|
•
|
consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets;
|
|
•
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
|
|
•
|
prepay certain kinds of indebtedness.
|
Pursuant to the restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends, we have the ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and make investments up to an “Available Amount,” as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities, provided that we are in compliance with all required covenants, there are no events of default and upon meeting certain financial ratios.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. The
$339 million
owed under our Term Loan Facility will be due on
October 31, 2021
, which is the Term Loan Facility’s maturity date. As of
December 31, 2016
, there are no other scheduled principal payments due on our long-term debt in the next
five years
.
Note 7
. Income Taxes
Our income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Prior to the Spin-off, our income taxes were calculated on a separate tax return basis, although operations have been included in Kimberly-Clark’s U.S. federal, state and foreign tax returns.
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign taxes currently payable and those deferred because of net operating losses and temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Valuation allowances remained the same during the year ended
December 31, 2016
with no impact to earnings. Valuation allowances at the end of
2016
and
2015
primarily relate to tax credits and income tax loss carryforwards.
Realization of income tax loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of these carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced or increased due to changes in the tax environment or if estimates of future taxable income change during the carryforward period.
At
December 31, 2016
, we have credit carryforwards for state income tax purposes of
$3 million
, all of which will expire in
2025
. At
December 31, 2016
, certain foreign subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of
$11 million
, of which
$7 million
will expire in
2020
. The remaining net operating losses are available for carryforward indefinitely.
At
December 31, 2016
, U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on
$113 million
of current and prior year undistributed earnings of subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. These earnings, which are considered to be invested indefinitely, would become subject to income tax if they were remitted as dividends, were lent to one of our U.S. entities or if we were to sell our stock in the subsidiaries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practical because of the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation. We do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material adverse effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

The amount, if recognized, that would affect our effective tax rate as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
is
$2 million
and
$1 million
, respectively.
We classify interest and penalties on uncertain tax benefits as income tax expense. At
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, before any tax benefits, we had
$1 million
and
$0.4 million
, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.
During the next
twelve months
, we do not expect the resolution of any tax audits which could potentially reduce unrecognized tax benefits by a material amount. In addition, no expiration of the statute of limitations for a tax year in which we have recorded uncertain tax benefits will occur in the next
twelve months
.
Federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of
three
to
five years
after filing of the respective returns. The state effect of any changes to filed federal positions remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to two years after formal notification to the states. We have various federal and state income tax return positions in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation.
Note 8
. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plans
Eligible employees participate in our defined contribution plans. Our 401(k) plan and supplemental plan provide for a matching contribution of a U.S. employee’s contributions and accruals, subject to predetermined limits. Halyard also has defined contribution pension plans for certain employees outside the U.S. in which eligible employees may participate. We recognized
$9 million
of expense for our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, and
$1 million
of expense was recognized in the post Spin-off period from
November 1, 2014
to
December 31, 2014
. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan are recognized in cost of products sold, research and development and selling and general expenses in our consolidated income statements.
Defined Benefit Plans
Certain plans in our international operations are our direct obligation, and therefore, the related funded status has been recorded within our consolidated balance sheet. These plans are primarily unfunded and the aggregated projected benefit obligation was
$8 million
as of each year ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Net periodic pension cost for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
was
$1 million
,
$3 million
and
$3 million
, respectively. Over the next ten years, we expect gross benefit payments to be
$2 million
in total for the years
2017
through
2021
, and
$4 million
in total for the years
2022
through
2026
.
Participation in Kimberly-Clark’s Benefit Plans
Prior to the Spin-off, eligible employees participated in benefit plans sponsored by Kimberly-Clark including defined benefit pension plans, postretirement healthcare plans and defined contribution plans. During
2014
, prior to the Spin-off, expenses of
$13 million
for these plans were allocated to us.

Note 10
. Stock-Based Compensation
The Halyard Health, Inc. Equity Participation Plan and the Halyard Health, Inc. Outside Directors’ Compensation Plan (together, the “Plans”) provide for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (and in certain limited cases, unrestricted stock), restricted stock units, performance units and cash awards to eligible employees (including officers who are employees), directors, advisors and consultants of Halyard or its subsidiaries. A maximum of
4.9 million
shares of Halyard common stock may be issued under the Plans, and there are
2.4 million
shares remaining available for issuance as of
December 31, 2016
.
Aggregate stock-based compensation expense under the Plans was
$15 million
and
$14 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, and
$3 million
for the post Spin-off period from
November 1, 2014
through
December 31, 2014
. Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of sales, research and development expenses and selling and general expenses.
|
55
|
||
Stock Options
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Halyard’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options are generally subject to graded vesting whereby options vest
30%
at the end of each of the first two
12-month
periods following the grant and
40%
at the end of the third
12-month
period and have a term of
10 years
.
The fair value of stock option awards was determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing a range of assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term and dividend yield. Expected volatility was based on historical weekly closing stock price volatility for a peer group of companies. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term was based on historical observed settlement behavior. The dividend yield was based on the expectation that no dividends are expected to be paid on our common stock.
The weighted-average fair value of options granted in the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
and the period from the Spin-off date to
December 31, 2014
was
$7.70
,
$15.15
and
$10.01
, respectively, based on the following assumptions:

In the year ended
December 31, 2016
, the intrinsic value of exercised options and the resulting excess tax benefit was not material. In the year ended
December 31, 2015
, options with an aggregate intrinsic value of
$0.4 million
were exercised resulting in an excess tax benefit of
$0.2 million
which was recognized as a component of additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2015
. There was
no
exercise activity for the period from the Spin-off date through
December 31, 2014
. For stock options outstanding at
December 31, 2016
, we expect to recognize an additional
$6 million
of expense over the remaining average service period of
one year
.
Restricted Share Units
Restricted shares, time-vested restricted share units and performance-based restricted share units granted to employees and directors are valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date with vesting conditions determined upon approval of the award.
Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was
$6 million
and
$8 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, and
$2 million

For restricted share units outstanding at
December 31, 2016
, we expect to recognize an additional
$5 million
of expense over the remaining average service period of
one year
.
We also issue restricted share units for which vesting is conditioned on meeting a defined measure of total shareholder return (“TSR units”) over a restricted period of
three
years. Total shareholder return is measured as our stock price performance over the restricted period compared to defined group of peer companies. The expense recognition for TSR units differs from awards with service or performance conditions in that the expense is recognized over the restricted period regardless of whether the total shareholder return target is met or not, while expense for awards with service and performance conditions is recognized based on the number of awards expected to vest. The fair value of TSR units is determined using a Monte Carlo using a volatility assumption based on the average stock-price volatility for a peer group of companies over the restricted period. For awards granted in the year ended
December 31, 2016
, the assumed volatility was
25%
and the weighted average fair value per TSR unit was
$38.64
. For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, stock-based compensation expense related to TSR units was
$5 million
.

Note 11
. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters, including the matters described below. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark prior to the Spin-off, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters (“Indemnification Obligation”). For the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, we have incurred
$20 million
and
$17 million
, respectively, related to these matters.
The only exception to the Indemnification Obligation relates to the pain pump litigation referenced in this paragraph. We are one of several manufacturers of continuous infusion medical devices, such as our ON-Q PAINBUSTER pain pumps, that are involved in several different pending or threatened litigation matters from multiple plaintiffs alleging that use of the continuous infusion device to deliver anesthetics directly into a synovial joint after surgery resulted in postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis, or a disintegration of the cartilage covering the bones in the joint (typically, in the shoulder). Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. While Kimberly-Clark is retaining the liabilities related to these matters, the distribution agreement between us and Kimberly-Clark provides that we will indemnify Kimberly-Clark for any such claims or causes of actions arising after the spin-off.
We have an Indemnification Obligation for, and have assumed the defense of, the matter styled
Bahamas Surgery Center, LLC v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Halyard Health, Inc.,
No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.) (
“Bahamas”
), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment) and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns. On June 1, 2016, the plaintiff moved for class certification of a California-only damages class and a California-only injunctive relief class. Although the plaintiff did not also move for certification of a nationwide class to determine liability, damages, or injunctive relief, it did move for certification of a nationwide “issue” class purporting to resolve certain issues allegedly “common” to members of that class. On July 8, 2016, we moved for summary judgment. On November 8, 2016, the court granted in part and denied in part the plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The court certified a California-only class for damages and injunctive relief arising from
fraud by omission
, but it rejected certification of a California-only class arising from
affirmative fraud
, and it also rejected certification of a nationwide “issue” class. The court also rejected the plaintiff’s request for “full restitution” damages, meaning the full value of the gowns. Instead, the court found any damages would be based on the difference between the purchase price of the gowns and what the purchase price would have been for gowns with no AAMI rating. On November 15, 2016, the court denied our motion for summary judgment. The parties remain engaged in discovery. The trial is scheduled to begin on March 28, 2017. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of the matter.
In June 2015, we were served with a subpoena from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (“VA OIG”) seeking information related to the design, manufacture, testing, sale and promotion of MicroCool and other Company surgical gowns, and, in July 2015, we also became aware that the subpoena and an earlier VA OIG subpoena served on Kimberly-Clark requesting information about gown sales to the federal government are related to a United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation. In May 2016, we were also served with a subpoena from the Department of Justice seeking further information related to Company gowns. The Company is cooperating with the VA OIG’s request and the DOJ investigation.
On October 12, 2016, after the DOJ submitted filings on behalf of itself and various States declining to intervene in
two
qui tam matters, both matters were unsealed. One of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
No. 2:14-cv-08313-JAK-JPR (C. D. Cal.) (“
Shahinian”
), filed on October 27, 2014. The other of those matters is
U.S. ex rel. Edgett, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al,
No. 3:15-cv-00434-B (N.D. Tex.) (
“Edgett”
), filed on February 9, 2015. Both cases allege, among other things, violations of both the federal and state False Claims Acts in connection with the marketing and sale of certain surgical gowns. On November 7, 2016, Dr. Shahinian served his complaint on Kimberly-Clark, and on February 6, 2017, he served an amended complaint on Kimberly-Clark. On January 9, 2017, Mr. Edgett served his complaint on both Kimberly-Clark and Halyard Health. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for the
two
matters under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend the cases.

We were served with a complaint in a matter styled
Jackson v. Halyard Health, Inc., Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-05093-LTS (S.D.N.Y.), filed on June 28, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative class action against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other defendants, asserting claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made misrepresentations and failed to disclose certain information about the safety and effectiveness of our MicroCool gowns and thereby artificially inflated the Company’s stock prices during the respective class periods. The alleged class period for purchasers of Kimberly-Clark securities who subsequently received Halyard Health securities is February 25, 2013 to October 21, 2014, and the alleged class period for purchasers of Halyard Health securities is October 21, 2014 to April 29, 2016. On February 16, 2017, we moved to dismiss the case. We intend to continue our vigorous defense of this matter.
We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Margaret C. Richardson Trustee of the Survivors Trust Dated 6/12/84 for the Benefit of the H&M Richardson Revocable Trust v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al.,
No. 1:16-cv-06296 (S. D. N. Y.) (
“Richardson”
), filed on August 9, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty, were unjustly enriched, and violated Section 14(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act in connection with Halyard Health, Inc.’s marketing and sale of MicroCool gowns. We were also served with a complaint in a matter styled
Kai Chiu v. Robert E. Abernathy, Steven E. Voskuil, et al
, No. 2:16-cv-08768 (C.D. Cal.), filed on November 23, 2016. In that case, the plaintiff sues derivatively on behalf of Halyard Health, Inc., and makes allegations and brings causes of action similar to those in
Richardson
, but the plaintiff also adds causes of action for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. We intend to vigorously defend these matters.
We were also served with a complaint in the matter styled
Medline Industries, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Halyard Health, Inc., et al.
, No. 2:16-cv-08571 (C. D. Cal.). In that case, the plaintiff makes allegations similar to those in
Bahamas
,
Shahinian
, and
Edgett
, and brings causes of action under federal and state false advertising laws and state unfair competition laws. We may have an Indemnification Obligation for this matter under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. We intend to vigorously defend it.
We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation and competitors may claim that our products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products. At any given time we may be involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have an accrued liability which management believes is adequate for the matters described herein. The accrued liability is included in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
We maintain general and professional liability, product liability and other insurance in an amount that we believe is reasonably adequate to insulate us from material liability for claims. However, our insurance policies may not cover all of these matters and may not fully cover liabilities arising out of these matters. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify our directors and officers against these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However the above matters, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business and result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention.
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 12
. Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We manage these risks, where appropriate, with the use of derivative instruments. We enter into derivative instruments to hedge a portion of forecasted cash flows denominated in Thai baht. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The foreign currency exposure on certain monetary assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany loans and accounts payable, is hedged with undesignated derivative instruments.
Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities’ financial statements into U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. The risk to any particular entity’s net assets is reduced to the extent that the entity is financed with local currency borrowing. Translation exposure, which results from changes in translation rates between functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, is not hedged.
The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts were not material as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
were
$1 million
and
$2 million
, respectively, and are included in the consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in AOCI, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same period that the hedged exposure affects earnings. These gains or losses recognized to earnings were not significant in each of the three years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
. As of
December 31, 2016
, the aggregate notional value of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges was approximately
$33 million
. Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in each of the three years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
. For each of the three years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
, no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At
December 31, 2016
, amounts to be reclassified from AOCI during the next year are not expected to be significant. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at
December 31, 2016
is
December 2017
.
Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange hedging instruments are immediately recognized in other (income) and expense, net. These gains or losses have not been significant for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. At
December 31, 2016
, the notional amount of these undesignated derivative instruments was approximately
$2 million
.
Note 13
. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period, as determined using the treasury stock method.

Restricted share units (“RSUs”) contain provisions allowing for the equivalent of any dividends paid on common stock during the restricted period to be reinvested into additional RSUs at the then fair market value of the common stock on the date dividends are paid. Such awards are to be included in the EPS calculation under the two-class method. Currently we do not anticipate any cash dividends for the foreseeable future and our outstanding RSU awards are not material in comparison to our weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, all EPS amounts reflect shares as if they were fully vested and the disclosures associated with the two-class method are not presented herein.
For the year ended
December 31, 2016
,
1.6 million
of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted share unit awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 14
. Business Segment Information
We are organized into
two
operating segments based on product groupings: Medical Devices and S&IP. These operating segments, which are also our reportable global business segments, were determined in accordance with how our executive managers develop and execute global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses.
The principal sources of revenue in each global business segment are described below:
|
•
|
Medical Devices provides a portfolio of innovative product offerings focused on pain management and respiratory and digestive health to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. These products include post-operative pain management solutions, minimally invasive interventional (or chronic) pain therapies, closed airway suction systems and enteral feeding tubes.
|
|
•
|
S&IP provides healthcare supplies and solutions that target the prevention and management of healthcare-associated infections. This segment has recognized brands across its portfolio of product offerings, including sterilization wrap, surgical drapes and gowns, facial protection, protective apparel and medical exam gloves.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Halyard Health, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Halyard Health, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Halyard Health, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2016
. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that, as of
December 31, 2016
, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
. The scope of management’s evaluation included all of our businesses except for the businesses acquired with Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) which was acquired in
May 2016
and whose financial statements constitute 10% of our consolidated assets, 2% of our consolidated net sales and 4% of our consolidated net income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, see “Business Acquisition” in
Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this report. Management’s evaluation was based on the criteria related to internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2016
.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K, has issued a report, included herein, on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Halyard Health, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Halyard Health, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Medsystems Holdings, Inc. (“Medsystems”) which was acquired in May 2016 and whose financial statements constitute 10% of consolidated assets, 2% of consolidated net sales and 4% of consolidated net income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Medsystems. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 of the Company and our report dated February 27, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
