Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with management changes, the Company realigned the reporting structure of its skin health business effective July 1, 2024. Accordingly, commencing with the Company’s financial reporting for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the results of the skin health business previously reported within the Europe reportable operating segment are reported with the other skin health businesses in the North America reportable operating segment, with no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
For information purposes and to provide investors with historical information on a basis consistent with its new reporting structure, the Company has recast its historical geographic segment information to conform to the new reporting structure.
Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01 are schedules containing segment information by operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the three months ended December 31, 2023.
As noted above, the segment change and supplemental disclosures discussed above have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The recast financial information contained in Exhibit 99.2 does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The information in this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.2, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.
