Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented are referred to as “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, and have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete Consolidated Financial Statements are not included herein. Accordingly, these notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) on February 18, 2026. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Following the B+L IPO, certain functions that BHC provided to Bausch + Lomb prior to the B+L IPO were provided and, in some limited cases, continue to be provided to Bausch + Lomb by BHC under a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) or are performed using Bausch + Lomb’s own resources or third-party service providers. See Note 4, “RELATED PARTIES” for further information regarding agreements between Bausch + Lomb and BHC. Use of Estimates In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. All estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be materially impacted. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides guidance for estimating credit losses under the current expected credit losses (CECL) model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606. The Company has adopted this ASU on a prospective-basis, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of March 31, 2026 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU amends the existing standard to remove all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented are referred to as “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, and have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete Consolidated Financial Statements are not included herein. Accordingly, these notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) on February 18, 2026. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Following the B+L IPO, certain functions that BHC provided to Bausch + Lomb prior to the B+L IPO were provided and, in some limited cases, continue to be provided to Bausch + Lomb by BHC under a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) or are performed using Bausch + Lomb’s own resources or third-party service providers. See Note 4, “RELATED PARTIES” for further information regarding agreements between Bausch + Lomb and BHC.

In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

All estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be materially impacted.
