Non-GAAP Appendix Adjusted SG & A Adjusted SG&A expenses (non-GAAP) represents selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted to exclude separation-related costs, IPO-related costs and certain costs primarily related to legal and other professional fees relating to legal and governmental proceedings, investigations and information requests respecting certain of our distribution, marketing, pricing, disclosure and accounting practices, as well transformation costs. See the discussion under "Other Non-GAAP adjustments" and "restructuring, integration and transformation costs" above. Management uses Adjusted SG&A (non-GAAP), along with GAAP measures, as a supplemental measure for period-to-period comparison to understand and evaluate each segment's ability to control costs and direct additional cash investments in each business. The Company believes that Adjusted SG&A (non- GAAP) is useful to investors as it provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our SG&A expenses, and operations, as this measure eliminates the effects of separation-related costs, IPO-related costs and legal and other professional fees which given their nature and frequency, are outside the ordinary course and relate to unique circumstances. Adjusted Tax Rate Adjusted Tax Rate (the most directly comparable financial measure for which is our GAAP tax rate) includes the tax impact of the various non-GAAP adjustments used in calculating our non- GAAP measures. However, due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP earnings, our adjusted tax rate will differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities. Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) Adjusted earnings per share or Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is calculated as Diluted income per share attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation ("GAAP EPS") (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted for the per diluted share impact of each adjustment made to reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) as discussed above. Like Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance on a per share basis. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the Company's results and trends for the periods presented on a diluted share basis. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the Company's operating performance, the valuation of the Company and an investor's return on investment. It is also noted that, for the periods presented, our GAAP EPS was significantly lower than our Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP). As with Adjusted Net Income, prior to 2022, in calculating Adjusted EPS, the Company had excluded expenses associated with acquired IPR&D. However, for the same reasons indicated above, commencing in 2022, the Company no longer excludes acquired IPR&D in its calculation of Adjusted EPS. Reference is made to the description above for further details on this change. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operations Adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP) is Cash flow from operations (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for: (i) payments of legacy legal settlements, net of insurance proceeds, if any, and (ii) payments for separation costs, IPO costs, separation- related costs, and IPO-related costs. Management believes that Adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP), along with the GAAP and non-GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the Company measures the business internally. The Company uses adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP) both to assess the actual financial performance of the Company and to forecast future results as part of its guidance. Management believes adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP) is a useful measure to evaluate current performance amounts. As these payments arise from events outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations as discussed above, the Company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the Company's cash from operations, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors. 46
