U.S. BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS

During fourth quarter 2015, the U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals business unit continued to support growth for prioritized products including XIAFLEX®, extended the exclusive licensing agreement for Voltaren® Gel through 2023 and secured regulatory approval and prepared for the commercial launch of BELBUCA™.

Fourth quarter 2015 U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals results include:

  • Revenues of $379 million, a 54 percent increase compared to fourth quarter 2014; this increase was primarily attributable to the strategic addition of Auxilium Pharmaceuticals.
  • Net sales of Voltaren® Gel increased 24 percent compared to fourth quarter 2014; this increase was attributable to higher volumes resulting from increased sales and marketing efforts.
  • Net sales of LIDODERM® increased 1 percent compared to fourth quarter 2014; this increase was primarily attributable to net price gains in the quarter and lower return reserves.

U.S. GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS

During the fourth quarter 2015, the U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals business unit focused on the integration of Par Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. and continued to advance key manufacturing, quality, commercial and R&D initiatives to support its organic growth objectives.

Fourth quarter 2015 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals results include:

  • Revenues of $609 million, an 81 percent increase compared to fourth quarter 2014; this increase was primarily attributable to growth from the addition of sales from the Company's September 2015 acquisition of Par, as well as underlying growth of certain products.
  • Compared to previous 2015 expectations, fourth quarter revenues in U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals were unfavorably impacted by increased pricing pressure due to increased competition across pain and commoditized products within legacy Qualitest and certain non-recurring charges.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS

As part of Endo's planned expansion of its International Pharmaceuticals business unit and to further diversify the Company's financial profile, the Company recently closed two strategic transactions designed to increase focus on core pharmaceuticals within its Litha Group. This included the acquisition of a broad product and R&D portfolio from the Aspen Group, which closed in October 2015, and the strategic divestiture of a portfolio of non-core products, which closed in February 2016.

Fourth quarter 2015 International Pharmaceuticals results include:

  • Revenues of $85 million, a 7 percent increase over fourth quarter 2014 or a 24 percent increase excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $14 million; this increase was primarily attributable to sales growth in Mexico.

2016 Financial Guidance

For the full twelve months ended December 31, 2016, at current exchange rates, Endo is providing revenue guidance and updating its adjusted diluted EPS guidance from continuing operations. The Company estimates:

  • Total revenues to be between $4.32 billion and $4.52 billion;
  • Reported (GAAP) EPS from continuing operations to be between $2.25 and $2.60;
  • Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to be between $5.85 and $6.20; and
  • Cash flow from operations is expected to support the Company's stated goal of de-levering to 3 to 4 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2016.

The Company's 2016 financial guidance is based on the following assumptions:

  • Adjusted gross margin of approximately 63% to 65%;
  • Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenues to be approximately 19.5% to 20.5%;
  • Adjusted interest expense of approximately $455 million;
  • Adjusted effective tax rate of approximately  9% to 11%; and
  • Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations assume full year adjusted diluted shares outstanding of approximately 224 million shares.

Other Updates

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $272.3 million in unrestricted cash; net debt of $8.3 billion and a net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.37.

During the fourth quarter 2015, the Company recorded the following non-cash impairment charges:

  • $85.8 million related to Paladin goodwill driven by the loss of exclusivity of certain products;
  • $38.4 million related to legacy Qualitest products as part of the continued portfolio optimization process with the integration of Par Pharmaceutical; and
  • $12.5 million, net primarily related to the abandonment of STENDRA®.

During the fourth quarter 2015, the Company recorded an $834.0 million aggregate pre-tax charge to increase its estimated product liability accrual for vaginal mesh cases. This product liability accrual increase includes $401 million attributable to removing the reduction factor assumption previously included in the Company's estimates based on the actual number of claims processed and the lack of any meaningful reduction factor observed to date. The accrual increase also includes $433 million primarily related to the execution of additional Master Settlement Agreements in 2016. During the fourth quarter 2015, the Company recorded a $997 million tax benefit predominantly relating to a worthless stock deduction directly attributable to product liability losses.  This tax benefit includes $297 million recorded in discontinued operations and $700 million in continuing operations. The Company anticipates that it will receive a federal income tax refund in 2016 from carrying back losses incurred in 2015 and expects additional benefits from reduced federal income taxes in 2016 and future years.

In November 2015, Endo entered into a program to repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock under a previously authorized $2.5 billion repurchase plan. The purchase of $250 million of common stock was completed by December 31, 2015. In December 2015, the Company redeemed all $400 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding 7.00% Senior Notes due 2020.

In 2015, the Company divested its AMS Men's Health business and launched a strategic process for AMS Women's Health - now ASTORA Women's Health. While that process resulted in formal bids for ASTORA, Endo determined in the first quarter 2016 that it will wind down ASTORA business operations in order to reduce the potential for product liability related to future mesh implants. Endo will conduct a wind down process and work efficiently to support physicians in transitioning to alternative products. The Company will cease business operations for ASTORA by March 31, 2016.

Notes to reconciliation of our GAAP statements of operations to our adjusted statements of operations:


(1) To exclude amortization of commercial intangible assets related to developed technology of $218,712, a fair value step-up in inventory of $65,582 and accruals for milestone payments to partners of $13,905.

(2) To exclude certain separation benefits and other costs incurred in connection with continued efforts to enhance the Company's operations of $26,205, a charge for an additional year of the branded prescription drug fee in accordance with IRS regulations issued in the third quarter of 2014 of $24,972, accruals for excise tax payments of $54,300 and a charge of $10,000 related to the non-recoverability of certain non-trade receivables that did not relate to our core operating activities.

(3) To exclude milestone payments to partners of $37,869 and adjustments to accruals for other costs incurred in connection with continued efforts to enhance the Company's operations of $(445).

(4) To exclude the impact of certain net litigation charges.

(5) To exclude asset impairment charges.

(6) To exclude acquisition and integration costs of associated with the Paladin, Boca, Somar, DAVA, Auxilium and other acquisitions.

(7) To exclude additional non-cash interest expense.

(8) To exclude a loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with debt refinancing activity.

(9) To exclude the net gain on sale of certain early-stage drug discovery and development assets of $5,200, foreign currency impact related to the remeasurement of intercompany debt instruments of $13,153 and other miscellaneous expense of ($161).

(10) Primarily to reflect the cash tax savings from acquired tax attributes and the tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments above at applicable tax rates.

(11) To exclude certain items related to the AMS and Healthtronics businesses, including litigation charges related to vaginal mesh cases, reported as Discontinued operations, net of tax.

(12) To exclude the impact of the portion of certain of the above adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components and Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share amounts are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted earnings per share amounts. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that these are Non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components (unlike U.S. GAAP net income and its components) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. See Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of Endo's reasons for using non-GAAP measures.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the statements by Mr. De Silva and other statements regarding product development, market potential, expected growth and regulatory approvals, as well as Endo's earnings per share amounts, product net sales, revenue forecasts and any other statements that refer to Endo's expected, estimated or anticipated future results. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Endo's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Endo often does not know what the actual results will be until after the end of the applicable reporting period. Therefore, Endo will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Endo.

All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Endo's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Endo's judgment only as of the date of this press release. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Endo's businesses, including, among other things, the following: changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; Endo's ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection for its intellectual property rights; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing, tax and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of strategic initiatives; the results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; and Endo's ability to obtain and successfully maintain a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including higher unemployment, political instability, financial hardship, consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, fluctuations or devaluations in the value of sovereign government debt, as well as the general impact of continued economic volatility, can materially affect Endo's results. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Endo expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required to do so by law.

Additional information concerning the above-referenced risk factors and other risk factors can be found in press releases issued by Endo, as well as Endo's public periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and with securities regulators in Canada, including the discussion under the heading "Risk Factors" in Endo's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
