“2006 was a year of progress for Endo, in which we launched three new pain management products, expanded our commercial capabilities, continued to advance our pipeline, and acquired a supportive care oncology platform,” said Peter A. Lankau, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In 2007, we will make substantial investments in support of our on-market products, our development portfolio and additional infrastructure to support our growth in the years ahead. With our substantial cash position and debt-free balance sheet, we are well positioned to pursue complementary acquisitions and licensing opportunities that will further expand our product portfolio and sustain our long-term growth.”
Use of Non-GAAP Measures—Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share:
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Endo refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because it believes they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the company’s operational performance. For instance, Endo believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate its internal comparisons to its historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ results. The company includes these non-GAAP financial measures in its earnings announcements because it believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to supplemental information used by Endo in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Endo has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting at this time. Further, Endo believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors as it is aware that certain of its significant stockholders utilize these measures to evaluate its financial performance. Finally, these measures are considered by the Compensation Committee of Endo’s Board of Directors in assessing the performance and compensation of substantially all of its employees, including its executive officers. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings announcement to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements included in this press release.

Selected Product Review
Lidoderm®. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, net sales of Lidoderm® were $173.5 million compared with $130.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the 12 months of 2006, net sales of Lidoderm® were $566.8 million, up from $419.4 million in the same period a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2006, prescription growth for Lidoderm® was up 19% and dispensed unit growth was up 22% from the comparable 2005 period. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, prescription growth for Lidoderm® was up 21% and dispensed unit growth was up 24% from the comparable 2005 period. Endo estimates that prescription demand for Lidoderm®was approximately $170 million and $589 million in the fourth quarter and full-year of 2006, respectively.
Percocet®. Net sales of Percocet® were $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared with $29.7 million in the same period in 2005. Net sales of Percocet® were $102.7 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006 compared with $110.7 million in the same period in 2005. The company estimates that prescription demand for Percocet®was approximately $28 million and $105 million in the fourth quarter and full-year of 2006, respectively. Net sales of Percocet continue to be adversely affected by generic competition.
Frova®.Net sales of Frova® were $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared with $13.0 million in the same period in 2005. Net sales of Frova® were $40.6 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 compared with $38.1 million in 2005. The company estimates that prescription demand for Frova® was approximately $13 million and $46 million in the fourth quarter and full-year 2006, respectively.
Opana® ER and Opana®.Combined net sales for these two products, representing end-user demand, were $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Although commercial shipments totaling $20.6 million of Opana® ER and Opana®to customers were made in 2006, it was determined that it was not appropriate to recognize revenue for these shipments at this time under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The approximately $13.8 million balance of the deferred revenue is expected to be recorded as net sales in future periods.
Other branded products.Combined sales of all other branded products were $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared with $3.9 million in the same period in 2005. Combined sales of all other branded products were $14.0 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006 versus $15.0 million in the comparable period in 2005.
Oxycodone extended-release. In June 2005, the company began commercial sale of all four strengths of its extended-release oxycodone tablets, the generic equivalent of Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin®. Net sales of extended-release oxycodone tablets were $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $57.1 million for the full-year ended December 31, 2006 compared with $35.5 million and $114.0 million for the comparable periods of 2005, when Endo benefited from six months of marketing semi-exclusivity.
As announced on August 28, 2006, Endo reached an agreement with The Purdue Frederick Company to settle the long-running litigation in which Purdue claimed that Endo’s oxycodone extended-release tablets, 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg, a bioequivalent version of Purdue Frederick’s OxyContin®, infringe Purdue’s U.S. Patent Nos. 5,549,912, 5,508,042 and 5,656,295. Pursuant to the settlement, Endo continued selling to its customers its oxycodone extended-release products through December 31, 2006. As part of the settlement, Endo, as well as its manufacturers, distributors, purchasers, and patients, were released from all liability for infringement of Purdue’s patents in connection with Endo’s sales of these products.

Other generic products. For the fourth quarter, net sales of other generic products were $22.9 million in 2006 compared with $28.1 million in 2005. For the full year, net sales of other generic products were $121.7 million in 2006 versus $123.0 million in 2005. The quarterly and year-to-date decrease in 2006 is due to increased generic competition with the company’s morphine sulfate extended-release tablets. Endo expects this additional competition to continue to adversely affect its market share and the price of both Endocet® and its morphine sulfate extended-release tablets.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, net cash used in financing activities includes a $195.8 million and a $42.8 million payment, respectively to Endo Pharma LLC, a limited liability company that previously held a significant portion of Endo common stock, in which affiliates of Kelso & Company and certain current and former members of management have an interest. This payment was made pursuant to the tax-sharing agreement between the company and Endo Pharma LLC, which requires the company, under certain circumstances, to pay Endo Pharma LLC the amount of the tax benefits that are usable by the company as a result of the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Endo Pharma LLC Stock Option Plans, which stock options are exercisable only into shares of Endo common stock held by Endo Pharma LLC and, accordingly, do not dilute the ownership of the company’s public stockholders. The company has recorded a liability of $38.7 million as of December 31, 2006 related to compensation deductions expected to be taken in 2006, which if used to reduce our 2006 income taxes will be paid to Endo Pharma LLC in 2007.
