(7) Salix presents LQA Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of its performance. Salix defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (i) net interest expense, (ii) provision for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance because they are either non-recurring or non-cash items. These further adjustments are itemized below. Salix defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus its estimated operational cost savings resulting from its pending acquisition of Santarus. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons Salix considers them appropriate for supplemental (1)
(6) analysis. Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future Salix may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this offering memorandum. The Company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
(8) Represents the combined non-cash share-based compensation expense incurred by Salix and Santarus for the three months period ended September 30, 2013, on a combined basis and on an LQA basis.
(9) Represents non-cash charges that relate to the change in fair value of contingent milestone and royalty obligations recorded by Salix and Santarus. These contingent obligations are recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet and are reassessed at each period with changes recognized as non-cash charges in the statement of operations.

The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability during the three-month ended September 30, 2013 was mainly as a result of the reduction of the discount period due to the passage of time.
(10) Salix expects the pending acquisition of Santarus to provide the opportunity to realize approximately $40 million of operational cost savings which represents among other things, (a) direct and indirect research and development costs (approximately $20 million in cost savings), stemming from, among other things, the absorption of Santarus’ pipeline into Salix’s current unallocated research and development budget without significant incremental cost and the elimination of redundancies related to research and development program employees and overhead, (b) general and administrative expenses (approximately $15 million in cost savings), stemming primarily from the consolidation of general and administrative cost centers, and (c) direct marketing expenses (approximately $5 million in cost savings), stemming from the elimination of redundancies and overhead.
