Perrigo Announces Agreement to Divest Infant Formula Business to MeridianMade

$PRGOPress releaseOct 29, 2026, 9:00 AM ETRead the release

Perrigo has agreed to divest its Infant Formula business to MeridianMade for total consideration of up to $175 million — $40 million cash at closing plus up to $135 million contingent on milestones through 2030. The sale advances the Streamline pillar of Perrigo's Three-S plan and is expected to enhance margins and materially reduce future capital expenditures. The divested business generated $380 million in trailing-four-quarter net sales but only $8 million in segment adjusted operating income. Perrigo expects to record a non-cash impairment of $275-$375 million in Q4 2026, with Infant Formula moving to discontinued operations from that quarter.
