statements, including the Company's full-year guidance, are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management and are provided
for the purpose of providing additional information about such expectations and beliefs, and readers are cautioned that these statements may
not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
the risks and uncertainties discussed in Bausch + Lomb's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Canadian
Securities Administrators (the "CSA") (including the Company's final prospectus as filed with the SEC on May 5, 2022 pursuant to Rule
424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 and the Company's supplemented
PREP prospectus as filed with the CSA on May 5, 2022), which factors are incorporated herein by reference. They also include, but are not
limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed plan to spin off or separate the Company from Bausch Health, including the expected
benefits and costs of the separation transaction, the expected timing of completion of the separation transaction and its terms, (including the
expectation that the separation transaction will be completed following the expiry of customary lock-ups related to the Bausch+Lomb IPO and
achievement of targeted net leverage ratios, subject to receipt of applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals), the ability to complete
the separation transaction considering the various conditions to the completion of the separation transaction (some of which are outside the
Company's and BHC's control, including conditions related to regulatory matters and applicable shareholder and other approvals), the impact of
any potential sales of the Company's common shares by BHC subject to expiry of lock-ups, that market or other conditions are no longer
favorable to completing the transaction, that applicable shareholder, stock exchange, regulatory or other approval is not obtained on the terms
or timelines anticipated or at all, business disruption during the pendency of or following the separation transaction, diversion of management
time on separation transaction-related issues, retention of existing management team members, the reaction of customers and other parties to
the separation transaction, the qualification of the separation transaction as a tax-free transaction for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax
purposes (including whether or not an advance ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency and/or the Internal Revenue Service will be sought or
BAUSCH + LOMB
obtained), the ability of the Company and BHC to satisfy the conditions required to maintain the tax-free status of the separation transaction
(some of which are beyond their control), other potential tax or other liabilities that may arise as a result of the separation transaction, the
potential dis-synergy costs resulting from the separation transaction, the impact of the separation transaction on relationships with customers,
suppliers, employees and other business counterparties, general economic conditions, conditions in the markets the Company is engaged in,
behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments and legal and regulatory rules affecting the Company's
business. In particular, the Company can offer no assurance that any separation transaction will occur at all, or that any separation transaction
will occur on the terms and timelines anticipated by the Company and BHC. They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties
caused by or relating to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of that pandemic, the emergence of variant and subvariant strains of
COVID-19 (including the Delta and Omicron variants), the availability and effectiveness of vaccines for COVID-19 (including current or future
variants and subvariants), COVID-19 vaccine immunization rates and the potential effects of that pandemic, the severity, duration and future
impact of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and which may have a material adverse impact on the Company, including but
not limited to its supply chain, third-party suppliers, project development timelines, employee base, liquidity, stock price, financial condition and
costs (which may increase) and revenue and margins (both of which may decrease). In addition, certain material factors and assumptions have
been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without itation, assumptions regarding our 2022 full-year guidance with
respect to expectations regarding base performance growth and organic growth, currency impact, run rate dis-synergies and inflation,
expectations regarding adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) and the Company's ability to continue to
manage such expense in the manner anticipated and the extent of the Company's R&D expense; and the assumption that the risks and
uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.
Management has also made certain assumptions in assessing the anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its
results of operations and financial conditions, including: that there will be no material restrictions on access to health care products and
services resulting from a possible resurgence of the virus and variant and subvariant strains thereof on a global basis in 2022; there will be
increased availability and use of effective vaccines; that the strict social restrictions in the first half of 2020 will not be materially re-enacted in
the event of a material resurgence of the virus and variant and subvariant strains thereof; that there will be an ongoing, gradual global recovery
as the macroeconomic and health care impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic diminish over time; that the largest impact to the Company's
businesses were seen in the second quarter of 2020; that, to the extent not already achieved, our revenues will likely return to pre-pandemic
levels during 2022, but that rates of recovery will vary by geography and business unit, with some regions and business units expected to lag in
recovery possibly beyond 2022; and no major interruptions in the Company's supply chain and distribution channels. If any of these
assumptions regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those described in
these forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date hereof. Bausch + Lomb undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law.
The guidance in this presentation is only effective as of the date given, June 8, 2022, and will not be updated or affirmed unless and until the
Company publicly announces updated or affirmed guidance.
Distribution or reference of this deck following June 8, 2022 does not constitute the Company re-affirming guidance.
