These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for Alcon Inc. ("the Company") and the subsidiaries it controls (collectively, "Alcon") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and with the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to the December 31, 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2023 Form 20-F ("Form 20-F").
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") financial statements. The financial information consolidates the Company and the subsidiaries it controls, and includes selected notes to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in Alcon's financial position and performance since the prior annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASb ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and can be found in the Form 20-F.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Alcon's principal accounting policies are set out in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 20-F.

4. Dividends and earnings per share
股息。
On February 27, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") proposed a dividend of CHF 0.24 per share, which was subsequently approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2024 and paid in May 2024 for an amount of $13000萬.
A number of Alcon companies are, and will likely continue to be, subject to various legal proceedings and investigations that arise from time to time, including proceedings regarding product liability, sales and marketing practices, commercial disputes, employment, wrongful discharge, antitrust, securities, health and safety, environmental, tax, international trade, privacy, intellectual property, including under the Hatch-Waxman Act, and anti-bribery matters such as those under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 ("FCPA"), as amended.
As a result, Alcon may become subject to substantial liabilities that may not be covered by insurance and could affect Alcon's business, financial position and reputation. While Alcon does not believe that any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable and large judgments sometimes occur. As a consequence, Alcon may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or cash flow. Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 20-F contains a summary of significant legal proceedings to which Alcon or any of its subsidiaries was a party as of the date of the Form 20-F.
During the second quarter of 2024, Alcon fully and finally resolved the patent infringement claims it brought against the remaining defendants in the Hatch-Waxman litigation concerning Rocklatan 及 Rhopressa. In July 2024, Alcon received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US Department of Justice (“DoJ”) in connection with a civil investigation under the False Claims Act relating to discounts on surgical equipment servicing contracts. Alcon is cooperating with the DoJ. In August 2024, the court in the Hatch-Waxman litigation concerning Simbrinza granted in part the generic drug company defendants’ motion for summary judgment of non-infringement of the asserted patents. A trial on the remaining patent claims was held on October 21, 2024 through October 23, 2024. The Court’s ruling is expected in early 2025. As of November 12, 2024, there have been no other significant developments in the proceedings described in the Form 20-F nor any other new significant proceedings commenced since the date of the Form 20-F.
Alcon believes that its total provisions for litigation and other legal matters are adequate based upon currently available information. However, given the inherent difficulties in estimating liabilities, additional liabilities and costs may be incurred beyond the amounts provided.
Additional factors are discussed in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 20-F. Should one or more of these uncertainties or risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this document speak only as of the date of its filing, and we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
