Pharmaceuticals in this press release have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided because Jazz Pharmaceuticals cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to unavailability of information needed to calculate the reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the reconciling items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. In particular, a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA, which is used to calculate the forward-looking non-GAAP measure, to projected GAAP net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) is not provided. Investors should note that the amounts of reconciling items between actual adjusted EBITDA and actual GAAP net income in future periods could be significant such that actual GAAP net income would vary significantly from the projected adjusted EBITDA used to calculate the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. This press release contains long-term and other financial targets of the Company, including with respect to long-term total revenue and adjusted operating margin improvement targets, each of which are forward-looking statements. While these financial targets were prepared in good faith, no assurance can be made regarding future results or events. These financial targets are based on historical performance trends and management outlook that is dependent in principal part on successfully achieving deleveraging and diversification targets for 2022 that were set and communicated in 2021; management assumptions and estimates regarding Xywav adoption in narcolepsy and IH, the timing of launch of Xyrem authorized generic products (AG Products) and generic versions of sodium oxybate and the level of AG Product royalties to the Company, the safety and efficacy profiles of competitive product launch(es) in narcolepsy and IH, and estimates of the size of the eligible IH patient population for Xywav; estimates of the size of the eligible patient populations that may ultimately be served by Epidiolex/Epidyolex, new patient market share, duration of therapy, and the safety and efficacy profiles of therapies competing with Epidiolex/Epidyolex; patient market share, duration of therapy, and the safety and efficacy profiles of therapies competing with our oncology products; and the successful outcomes of ongoing and planned clinical trials. In addition, the Company’s long-term total revenue target assumes revenue contribution from growth opportunities related to pipeline development and potential corporate development opportunities that may not be realized in a timely manner, or at all. The estimates and assumptions underlying these financial targets involve significant judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as future clinical and regulatory outcomes and future business decisions and corporate development opportunities that may not be realized, and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described above and business and economic conditions affecting the biotechnology industry generally, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are outside the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions and estimates will prove to be accurate or that these financial targets will be realized and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those reflected in these financial targets. In addition, these financial targets are Company goals that should not be construed or relied upon as financial guidance, and should not otherwise be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and investors are otherwise cautioned not to place undue reliance on these financial targets. In preparing this press release, the Company has relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of industry and market information from public sources or provided to the Company by third parties, which information involves assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information.
