CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Total revenues increased by 25 percent to $921 million in second quarter 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to revenues related to the September 2015 Par acquisition. GAAP net income from continuing operations in second quarter 2016 increased to $390 million compared to a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $(91) million during the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to a legal entity reorganization that resulted in the recognition of discrete net tax benefits of $448 million during the second quarter 2016. GAAP net income per share from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.75, compared to a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $(0.49) in second quarter 2015.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations for second quarter 2016 decreased by 6 percent to $192 million compared second quarter 2015, driven primarily by an increase in interest expense, partially offset by higher operating margin. Adjusted net income per share from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 20 percent to $0.86 compared to second quarter 2015. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in adjusted net income from continuing operations resulting from the items listed above in this paragraph and an increase in the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

U.S. BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS

During second quarter 2016, the U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals business unit continued to focus on the launch of the first and only buprenorphine buccal film approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), BELBUCA™, while also supporting demand growth for XIAFLEX^® in both the Dupuytren's contracture and Peyronie's disease indications.

Second quarter 2016 U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Revenues of $288 million, a 9 percent decrease compared to second quarter 2015; this decrease was primarily attributable to a generic entrant for Voltaren® Gel in March 2016.
• Net sales of XIAFLEX^® increased 6 percent compared to second quarter 2015; this increase reflects continued double-digit demand growth for the product, partially offset by customer de-stocking in the quarter.
• Net sales of Voltaren^® Gel decreased 46 percent compared to second quarter 2015; this decrease was attributable to a decrease in both volume and price as a result of the entrance of a generic competitor in March 2016.

U.S. GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS

During second quarter 2016, the U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals business unit substantially completed the Par integration, implemented the initial phase of the supply chain restructuring and product rationalization activities announced in May 2016, and continued to execute on its sales and marketing, research and development (R&D), and manufacturing plans for the year.

Second quarter 2016 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Revenues of $565 million, a 67 percent increase compared to second quarter 2015; this increase was primarily attributable to growth from the addition of sales by Par.
• Secured a patent (expiration January 2035) for Vasostrict^®, the only vasopressin injection currently approved by the FDA.
• As expected and previously communicated by the Company, the Generics Base business revenues declined approximately 5 percent sequentially compared to the first quarter 2016, due to consortium pricing pressures and additional competitive entrants.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS

During second quarter 2016, the International Pharmaceuticals business unit focused on expanding margins for its emerging markets businesses, while in-licensing new products and managing the expected loss of exclusivity for certain products at Paladin.

Second quarter 2016 International Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Revenues of $67 million, a 17 percent decrease compared to second quarter 2015.
• Paladin revenues of $26 million, a 14 percent decrease compared to second quarter 2015, due primarily to the previously expected loss of exclusivity for two products. During second quarter 2016, Paladin filed a submission for BELBUCA™ with Health Canada, acquired the Canadian rights to XIAFLEX® and launched Metadol D 1L.
• Emerging market revenues from Litha and Somar of $37 million, a 23 percent decrease compared to second quarter 2015, driven primarily by a decrease in Litha revenues as it manages its recent divestiture of non-core assets and integrates its new portfolio of products and pipeline programs acquired from Aspen.

2016 Financial Guidance

For the full twelve months ended December 31, 2016, at current exchange rates, Endo is affirming its full year revenue and adjusted diluted EPS financial guidance issued in May 2016. The Company estimates:

• Total revenues to be between $3.87 billion and $4.03 billion;
• Diluted GAAP EPS from continuing operations is now expected to be between $1.86 and $2.16; and
• Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to be between $4.50 and $4.80.

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

• Adjusted gross margin of approximately 59 percent to 60 percent;
• Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenues to be approximately 21.5 percent to 22 percent;
• Adjusted interest expense of approximately $455 million;
• Adjusted effective tax rate of approximately zero to 2 percent; and
• Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations assumes full year adjusted diluted shares outstanding of approximately 223 million shares.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Other Updates

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $667.8 million in unrestricted cash; net debt of approximately $7.6 billion and a net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.6.

Second quarter 2016 reported cash provided by operating activities was $604.5 million, primarily attributable to the Company's receipt of a $707 million federal income tax refund during the quarter, partially offset by the timing of mesh-related payments, payments related to restructuring and other working capital increases.

During second quarter 2016, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.0 million related to certain market and regulatory conditions impacting the commercial potential of certain definite-lived intangible assets in the Company's U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals segment.

As part of the continued integration of the legacy Qualitest and Par businesses, Endo initiated a legal entity reorganization that moved the Generics business to a new U.S. holding company structure that is separate from the legacy Branded business structure. The reorganization provides operating flexibility and benefits and reduces the potential impact related to any future limits that could apply to the use of tax attributes by utilizing most of the Company's attributes to offset the gain that was created in the intercompany sale. This reorganization resulted in stepped-up tax basis of the U.S. Generics business assets to their fair value.

The reorganization also gave rise to a discrete net GAAP tax benefit of $448 million in the second quarter 2016 arising from outside basis differences. This benefit has been excluded from our adjusted effective tax rate, in accordance with our policy.

On an adjusted basis, the elimination of tax benefits from acquired attributes is offset by an improved mix of jurisdictional adjusted pre-tax income resulting primarily from the reorganization.

As a result of the SEC's recently issued Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP measures issued in May 2016, Endo is no longer excluding the non-cash deferred tax expense associated with acquired attributes in our adjusted effective tax rate.  This change has no impact on Endo's historic or forward looking GAAP tax or cash tax profile. Additionally, as Endo has utilized almost all of its acquired attributes through the legal entity reorganization, Endo's change in policy is also not expected to have a material impact on our 2016 and forward looking adjusted tax rate.

Management Team Updates

In a separate press release issued today, Endo announced the appointment of Joseph J. Ciaffoni to the position of President, U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals, effective August 15, 2016. Mr. Ciaffoni most recently served as Senior Vice President, Global Specialty Medicines at Biogen and brings to Endo extensive experience building commercial businesses, leading multi-function organizations and achieving successful results across the primary care, specialty and rare disease markets.

Supplemental Financial Information

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information on the Company's use of such non-GAAP financial measures, refer to Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes an explanation of the Company's reasons for using non-GAAP measures.

The table below provides reconciliations of our consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations (GAAP) to our adjusted income from continuing operations (non-GAAP) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Notes to the reconciliation of certain line items included in the GAAP Statements of Operations to the Non-GAAP line items are as follows:

(1)     Adjustments for amortization of commercial intangible assets included the following:

(2)     Adjustments for inventory step-up and other cost savings included the following:

(3)     Adjustments for upfront and milestone-related payments to partners included the following:

(4)     To exclude charges due to increased inventory reserves related to the 2016 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals restructuring initiative.

(5)   Adjustments for separation benefits and other restructuring included the following:

(6)   To exclude litigation settlement charges.

(7)   To exclude asset impairment charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.0 million and $70.2 million, respectively, resulting from certain market conditions impacting the commercial potential of certain intangible assets in our U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals segment.

(8)   Adjustments for acquisition and integration items primarily relate to various acquisitions, including Par Pharmaceuticals and Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, and included the following:

(9)   To exclude the impact of the change in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from certain market conditions impacting the commercial potential of the underlying products.

(10) To exclude penalty interest charges of $2,746 and additional non-cash interest expense related to our 1.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes of $253 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

(11) Adjustments to other included the following:

(12) Adjusted income taxes are calculated by tax effecting adjusted pre-tax income at the applicable effective tax rate that will be determined by reference to statutory tax rates in the relevant jurisdiction in which the Company operates and includes current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability.

As part of the continued integration of our Qualitest and Par businesses, Endo initiated a legal entity reorganization that moved the Generics business to a new U.S. holding company structure that is separate from the legacy Branded business structure. The reorganization also provides operating flexibility and benefits and reduces the potential impact related to any future limits that could apply to the use of tax attributes by utilizing most of the Company's attributes to offset the gain in the intercompany sale that stepped-up the tax basis of the U.S. Generics business assets. The utilization of acquired attributes in the reorganization would have had an unfavorable impact of $157 million on our full-year 2016 adjusted tax expense under Endo's non-GAAP policy prior to the adoption of the SEC's updated guidance on Non-GAAP measures (see below). The elimination of this acquired attribute benefit was largely offset by an improved mix of jurisdictional adjusted pre-tax income resulting primarily from the reorganization. The reorganization also gave rise to a discrete GAAP tax benefit of $448 million, net of a valuation allowance, in the second quarter 2016 arising from outside basis differences. This benefit has been excluded from our adjusted effective tax rate in accordance with our policy.

Separately, as a result of the SEC's recently updated guidance on Non-GAAP measures issued in May 2016, Endo is no longer excluding the non-cash deferred tax expense associated with acquired attributes in our adjusted income tax expense. This change has no impact on Endo's historic or forward looking GAAP tax or cash tax profile. Additionally, as we have utilized almost all of our acquired attributes through the recent legal entity reorganization, our change in policy is not expected to have a material impact on our 2016 and forward looking adjusted tax rate. The following table presents the impact of our change in policy on Adjusted Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations for each relevant period of 2015 and 2016:

(13) To exclude the results of the Astora business reported as discontinued operations, net of tax.

(14) This amount includes non-controlling interest of $18 and $(107) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(15) Calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations divided by the applicable weighted average share number. The applicable weighted average share number for the three months ended June 30, 2016 is 222,863 for both the GAAP and non-GAAP EPS calculations. The applicable weighted average share number for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is 185,328 for the GAAP EPS calculation and 188,819 for the non-GAAP EPS calculations.

Notes to the reconciliation of certain line items included in the GAAP Statements of Operations to the Non-GAAP line items are as follows:

(1)     Adjustments for amortization of commercial intangible assets included the following:

(2)     Adjustments for inventory step-up and other cost savings included the following:

(3)   Adjustments for upfront and milestone-related payments to partners included the following:

(4)   To exclude charges due to increased inventory reserves related to the 2016 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals restructuring initiative.

(5)   To adjust for the reversal of the remaining Voltaren® Gel minimum royalty obligations as a result of a generic entrant.

(6)   Adjustments for separation benefits and other restructuring included the following:

(7)   To exclude the acceleration of Auxilium employee equity awards at closing of acquisition.

(8)   To exclude litigation settlement charges.

(9)   To exclude asset impairment charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $169.6 million and $77.2 million, respectively. The charges for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were primarily driven by our 2016 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals restructuring initiative, which resulted in the discontinuation of certain commercial products and the abandonment of certain IPR&D projects. The charges for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted from certain market conditions impacting the commercial potential of certain intangible assets in our U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals segment.

(10) Adjustments for acquisition and integration items primarily relate to various acquisitions, including Par Pharmaceuticals and Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, and included the following:

(11) To exclude the impact of the change in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from certain market conditions impacting the commercial potential of the underlying products.

(12) Adjustments to interest charges included the following:

(13) Adjustments to other included the following:

(14) Refer to Footnote 12 included within the tables for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 for a discussion of our Non-GAAP tax adjustments and changes to our policy for calculating adjusted income taxes. The following table presents the impact of this change on Adjusted Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

(15) To exclude the results of the Astora business reported as discontinued operations, net of tax.

(16) This amount includes noncontrolling interests of $16 and $(107) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(17) Calculated as income from continuing operations divided by the applicable weighted average share number. The applicable weighted average share number for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is 223,021 and 182,822, respectively, for both the GAAP and non-GAAP EPS calculations.

Reconciliation of Projected GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Guidance for 2016

The Company's guidance is being issued based on certain assumptions including:

• Certain of the above amounts are based on estimates and there can be no assurance that Endo will achieve these results.
• Includes all completed business development transactions as of August 8, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not prescribed by or prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures 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 EBITDA and 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 non-GAAP financial measures.
