HALYARD HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.    Accounting Policies
Background and Basis of Presentation
Halyard Health, Inc. is a global business which seeks to advance health and healthcare by preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery. Our products and solutions are designed to address some of today’s most important healthcare needs, namely, preventing infections and reducing the use of narcotics while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We market and support the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of our products with a significant body of clinical evidence. We operate in two business segments: Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) and Medical Devices. References to “Halyard,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Halyard Health, Inc.
Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of the change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 to meet 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 impact of this ASU on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the equity investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, equity investments without readily determinable fair values may be measured at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments in the same issuer. In addition, this ASU provides for a qualitative impairment assessment for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. This ASU also clarifies that entities should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This ASU should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The provisions related to equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values should be applied prospectively to such equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted. The impact of this ASU on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Subsequently, the FASB provided additional guidance regarding revenue recognition through the issuance of ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations, and ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU 2016-08 requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to customers is to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by another party (as an agent). Notably, an entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service prior to delivery of the specified good or service to the customer. Indicators of control include whether the entity is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, whether the entity assumes inventory risk for the specified goods and whether the entity has discretion in establishing selling prices of the specified goods or services. ASU 2016-10 provides clarification on identifying performance obligations and the implementation of the licensing guidance. These ASUs are effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption prior to interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is not 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. The effects of this ASU on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.

Note 3.    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.
In the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no transfers among Level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations.
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts were $1 million and $2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2016 were $1 million. Derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts were not significant as of December 31, 2015. These derivatives are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of derivatives used to manage foreign currency risk is based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates.
The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required (in millions):

The senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) is under a credit agreement that includes a five-year 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.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus 3.25%, 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 2.25%. As of March 31, 2016, the interest rate in effect for the Term Loan Facility was 4.00%.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin ranging between 1.75% to 2.50% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee equal to (i) 0.25% per annum, when our consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00 or (ii) 0.40% per annum, otherwise. As of March 31, 2016, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $247 million available for borrowing.
On May 2, 2016, we borrowed $72 million under our Revolving Credit Facility to partially fund our acquisition of Medsystems Holdings, Inc., which owns CORPAK Medsystems. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for a description of this acquisition.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) will mature on October 15, 2022 and interest accrues at a rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

Note 6.     Stock-Based Compensation
Aggregate stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4 million and $5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted share units was $1 million and $3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Expense for options and restricted share units was $1 million and $4 million, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
In the three months ended March 31, 2016, we issued approximately 135,000 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 a defined group of peer companies. The expense recognition for TSR units differs from awards with service and 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 only service and performance conditions is recognized based on the number of awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted share units with a TSR vesting condition is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation which incorporates a volatility assumption based on the average stock price volatility for a peer group of companies over a period of three years, which matches the restricted period. For the awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2016, the assumed volatility was 25% and the fair value per TSR unit was determined to be $37.59. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, stock-based compensation expense related to TSR units was $1 million.
Note 7.    Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters, including the matters described below. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”) prior to our 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 three months ended March 31, 2016, we have incurred $4 million related to these matters. Amounts incurred related to these matters were not significant in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
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 Prime Healthcare Centinela, LLC, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, et al., (f/k/a Shahinian, et al. v. Kimberly-Clark Corporation, et al.) No. 2:14-cv-08390-DMG-SH (C.D. Cal.), filed on October 29, 2014. In that case, the plaintiff brings a putative nationwide class action asserting claims for common law fraud (affirmative misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment), negligent misrepresentation, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law in connection with our marketing and sale of MicroCool surgical gowns. On February 6, 2015, we moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple grounds. On July 10, 2015, the Court issued an order on the motion to dismiss, dismissing the negligent misrepresentation claim but permitting the remaining claims to stand and proceed to discovery. On December 11, 2015, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint that

12


added additional plaintiffs in California, Texas and Rhode Island, named Halyard Health, Inc. as an additional defendant, and extended the timeframe for the lawsuit to include products sold after the Spin-off through December 2015. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. 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, 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. We could be subject to litigation relating to this investigation, by either governmental agencies or private parties. If a claim is asserted against Kimberly-Clark relating to MicroCool gowns or other Company surgical gowns, we expect that such a claim would give rise to an Indemnification Obligation under the distribution agreement with Kimberly-Clark. The Company is cooperating with the VA OIG’s request and the DOJ investigation.
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.
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 business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
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 8.    Derivative Financial Instruments
The derivative liabilities for foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accrued expenses. The derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2016 were $1 million. Derivative assets for foreign exchange contracts were not significant as of December 31, 2015.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, gains or losses recognized to earnings were not significant in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016, the aggregate notional values of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $36 million. Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 March 31, 2016, amounts to be reclassified from AOCI during the next twelve months are not expected to be significant. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at March 31, 2016 is March 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 the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2016, the notional amount of these undesignated derivative instruments was $10 million.
Note 9.    Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period, as determined using the treasury stock method.

13


The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is set forth in the following table (in millions, except per share amounts):

Corporate and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes $9 million of general expenses and $11 million of post spin-related transition expenses partially offset by $5 million of profit on corporate sales.
Note 11.    Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The Notes (described in Note 4, “Debt”) are guaranteed, jointly and severally by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions as defined in the Indenture dated October 17, 2014. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is directly or indirectly 100%-owned by Halyard Health, Inc. Each of the guarantees of the Notes is a general unsecured obligation of each Guarantor Subsidiary and ranks equally in right of payment

14


with all existing and future indebtedness and all other obligations (except subordinated indebtedness) of each Guarantor Subsidiary.
The following condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 provide condensed consolidating financial information for Halyard Health, Inc. (“Parent”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis and the Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
The Parent and the Guarantor Subsidiaries use the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 12.     Subsequent Events
On April 5, 2016, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) by and among Halyard, Medsystems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Medsystems”), and Medsystems Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”), providing for the acquisition by Halyard of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Shares”) of Medsystems (the “Acquisition”). Medsystems owns and conducts its primary business through CORPAK Medsystems. The Acquisition closed on May 2, 2016 (the “Closing Date”) and the initial purchase price was $174 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis, funded with a combination of cash on hand and our Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 4, “Debt”). The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments based on the working capital of Medsystems following the finalization of the closing balance sheet, which is to be completed within 60 days of the Closing Date.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
Halyard is a global company which seeks to advance health and healthcare by preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery. Our products and solutions are designed to address some of today’s most important healthcare needs, namely, preventing infection and reducing the use of narcotics while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We market and support the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of our products with a significant body of clinical evidence. We have two business segments: Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) and Medical Devices.
This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our recent performance, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1, “Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The following will be discussed and analyzed:

Acquisition of Medsystems Holdings, Inc.
On April 5, 2016, we entered into an agreement to acquire Medsystems Holdings, Inc., (the “Acquisition”) which owns CORPAK Medsystems (“Corpak”). The Acquisition was an all-cash transaction for total consideration of $174 million, funded with a combination of cash on hand and our revolving credit facility. The Acquisition closed on May 2, 2016. Corpak develops, manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of high-quality, branded enteral feeding access devices. Corpak’s portfolio of nasogastric tubes complements our existing enteral feeding products and creates a complete offering of enteral feeding solutions for patients and caregivers. Corpak’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $54 million.
Overview of Business
Our S&IP market environment remains challenging, yet we continue to defend our leading market positions and plan to introduce innovation in the S&IP business during the year. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, S&IP sales volume increased by 4% compared to the same period last year, in which our customers and distributors heavily reduced their inventories. Sales volume was driven by demand for exam gloves primarily in North America and surgical drapes and gowns. Our Medical Devices results were driven by continued demand for COOLIEF, our interventional pain solution.
Results of Operations and Related Information
This section presents a discussion and analysis of our net sales, operating profit and other information relevant to an understanding of our results of operations. This discussion and analysis compares the results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to the same period in 2015.

(a) Volume excludes changes in sales volume to Kimberly-Clark.
(b) Other includes changes in sales volume to Kimberly-Clark and rounding.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $385 million were 2% lower compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower Corporate and Other net sales that includes sales of rolled non-woven materials to Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”). In our S&IP business, higher volume was offset by lower pricing and unfavorable currency exchange rates. Our Medical Devices business experienced continued higher volume growth.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP net sales were even at $255 million. Volume gains, primarily in exam gloves, were offset by unfavorable pricing in exam gloves and sterilization along with unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Medical Devices
Medical Devices net sales increased 4% to $127 million, compared to net sales of $122 million in the prior year driven by higher volume in interventional pain due to continued sales growth of COOLIEF and higher volume in respiratory health. Higher volume was partially offset by unfavorable pricing.

Net sales in North America decreased by 2% driven primarily by lower sales of rolled non-woven materials to Kimberly-Clark. In our S&IP business, higher exam glove sales volume was partially offset by unfavorable pricing for exam gloves and sterilization. In our Medical Devices business, higher sales volume occurred in interventional pain and respiratory health.
Net sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa decreased by 6% primarily due to unfavorable currency exchange rates. Lower S&IP volume and unfavorable pricing also contributed to lower sales but were partially offset by higher Medical Devices volume.
In Asia Pacific and Latin America, net sales increased by 1% driven primarily by higher sales volume, primarily in exam gloves partially offset by unfavorable pricing, primarily in surgical drapes and gowns and unfavorable currency exchange rates.

______________________________
(a)
Corporate and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes $15 million of general expenses, $2 million of post spin-related transition expenses, $1 million of acquisition-related expenses (See Note 12, “Subsequent Events”) and $1 million of costs related to corporate sales. Corporate and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes $9 million of general expenses and $11 million of post spin-related transition expenses partially offset by $5 million of profit on corporate sales.
Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $33 million compared to $41 million in the same period last year primarily due to a $12 million gain that was realized on the sale of an exam glove manufacturing facility in Thailand in the prior year partially offset by lower selling and general expenses. Selling and general expenses were lower in the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to lower incremental spin-related transition expenses.
Surgical and Infection Prevention
S&IP operating profit increased 26% to $25 million, compared to operating profit of $20 million in the prior year driven primarily by lower raw material costs and favorable currency exchange rates.
Medical Devices
Medical Devices operating profit increased 20% to $30 million, compared to operating profit of $25 million in the prior year driven by higher sales volume and favorable currency exchange rates partially offset by increased research and development spending.
Interest Income and Expense
In each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 we incurred interest expense of $8 million on our senior secured term loan and senior unsecured notes.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $11 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 44% compared to 34% in the prior year primarily due to the downward remeasurement of deferred tax assets following a change in statutory tax rates in Thailand during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand provided from operating activities and amounts available under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2016, $67 million of our $165 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested overseas and currently have no plans to repatriate such earnings. We believe that our ability to generate cash from domestic and international operations and our existing available credit facilities are adequate to fund our requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for the foreseeable future for both our domestic and international operations. Furthermore, we do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material effect overall on our overall liquidity, financial condition or result of operations for the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $43 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $40 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

23


Investing Activities
Investing activities used $8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $20 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Capital expenditures decreased to $8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $28 million in the same period last year. Prior year capital expenditures were higher as they were primarily related to modifying facilities as necessary for us to operate as a stand-alone company following our spin-off in late 2014.
Financing Activities
There were no cash flows from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Financing activities used $1 million in the prior year, consisting of a long-term debt repayment.
As of March 31, 2016, debt was $579 million and consisted of (i) $332 million, net of unamortized discount, on our Senior Secured Term Loan and (ii) $246 million, net of unamortized discount, on our Senior Unsecured Notes.
Funds under the revolving credit facility are available for our working capital and other liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2016, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $3 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $247 million available for borrowing. See Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, “Debt” for further details regarding our debt agreements.
We will incur significant interest expense and financial obligations related to our senior notes, secured term loan and revolving credit facility. We will continue to make capital expenditures to introduce new products, enhance the efficacy, reliability and safety of our existing products and to maximize cost savings.
Legal Matters
See Item 1, Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of current legal matters.
New Accounting Standards
See Item 1, Note 1, “Accounting Policies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
The preceding discussion and analysis summarizes the factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and our financial position as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those historical condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

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

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
With the participation of management, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2016.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during three months ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
