Ann: J&J/Ethicon Mesh Class Actions Update, page-62

i get this, but over time we should see some taxable profit. And if there is some taxable profit, there should be some periodic franking.!!!
I will go through last years annual report to dig deeper.

The 'good' news from my point of view is the court ruling will start forcing SHJ to be more accountable in how it creates balance sheet and P&L items.

In any such case, correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they just win a major class action of $300m. They get a % of the winnings.
This will translate from a WIP into cash. Sure they might have a 'WIP' over capitalised interest. This will be a P&L effect. But cash flow...

There is going to be money in the bank!!!
