Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon Pharma plc. “We exceeded all of our original financial goals while at the same time significantly expanding our patient access program, HorizonCares, to thousands of patients at a value of more than $1 billion in 2015. Our full-year 2015 net sales more than doubled and our adjusted EBITDA more than quadrupled from 2014. Our superior commercial execution and aggressive M&A activity have strategically strengthened and diversified the Company and positioned us well to deliver rapidly growing adjusted operating cash flows, sales and earnings.”

(1) | PENNSAID 2% was acquired on October 17, 2014. (2) ACTIMMUNE was acquired on September 19, 2014. (3) RAVICTI and BUPHENYL were acquired on May 7, 2015. |
• | | Fourth-quarter 2015 net sales of $244.5 million increased 135 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 driven by strong growth in each of Horizon’s business units: orphan, primary care and rheumatology, as well as the addition of new medicines. |
• | | Orphan Business Unit:ACTIMMUNE sales of $28.1 million increased 25 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. RAVICTI and BUPHENYL sales in the fourth quarter were $34.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. The orphan commercial organization continues to drive awareness of ACTIMMUNE and RAVICTI among both patients and physicians, leading to consistent patient additions throughout the quarter. The Company continued to make significant progress with clinical development programs for its orphan medicines: |
| • | | The STEADFAST phase 3 trial for ACTIMMUNE in Friedreich’s ataxia is 70 percent enrolled and is on track for enrollment completion in the second quarter of 2016. Initial trial results are expected by the end of 2016. |
| • | | The Company also initiated a phase 1 clinical study and began patient enrollment, in collaboration with Fox Chase Cancer Center, to evaluate ACTIMMUNE in combination with nivolumab (OPDIVO®, Bristol-Myers Squibb) in kidney and bladder cancers. |
| • | | In November, RAVICTI was approved in Europe for use as an adjunctive therapy for chronic management of adult and pediatric patients two months of age and older with six subtypes of Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs); commercial launch is expected in 2017. |
| • | | In the U.S., the Company is pursuing an expanded RAVICTI indication for children with UCDs who are two months to two years of age and expects to submit a supplemental new drug application to the FDA in the second quarter of 2016. Importantly, this expanded indication, if approved, would allow physicians to start patients in this age group on RAVICTI instead of starting them on BUPHENYL as they do today. |
| • | | On February 22, 2016, the Company announced RAVICTI is eligible for data protection in Canada. The regulatory review process will be reinitiated to obtain approval in Canada for the approximately 100 patients with UCDs. |

• | | Primary Care Business Unit:Horizon’s primary care medicines address important unmet needs for hundreds of thousands of patients in the United States, providing pain relief associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is estimated that NSAID-induced GI toxicity each year causes more than 16,500 deaths and 107,000 hospitalizations. DUEXIS and VIMOVO significantly reduce the risk of NSAID-induced ulcers and provide benefits through a fixed-dose combination therapy resulting in a reduction of the number of pills taken. In addition, PENNSAID 2% is indicated for osteoarthritis of the knee, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may develop in nearly one out of every two people by the age of 85. PENNSAID 2% is a topical NSAID that is applied directly to the knee and contains a powerful penetrating agent that helps ensure that diclofenac sodium is absorbed through the skin to the site of inflammation and pain. Prescription and sales growth of DUEXIS, VIMOVO and PENNSAID 2% were driven by their differentiated clinical benefits, strong commercial execution and focus on patient access through the Company’s HorizonCares program. DUEXIS sales of $60.4 million increased 110 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014; VIMOVO sales of $47.0 million increased 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014; PENNSAID 2% sales of $55.4 million increased 26 percent sequentially compared to third quarter 2015. The aggregate sales of DUEXIS, VIMOVO and PENNSAID 2% of $162.8 million in the fourth quarter were driven by an increase of 107 percent in total prescriptions versus the fourth quarter of 2014. In the fourth quarter, the Company began an expansion of its primary care sales force to add approximately 50 representatives, bringing the total sales force size to 375 representatives in the first quarter of 2016. |
• | | Rheumatology Business Unit:RAYOS sales of $11.1 million increased 82 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 and full-year RAYOS sales of $40.3 million more than doubled compared to full year 2014 as a result of continued strong commercial execution. In addition, on January 14, 2016, Horizon acquired Crealta Holdings LLC and the orphan biologic medicine KRYSTEXXA. KRYSTEXXA is the first and only FDA-approved medicine indicated to treat chronic refractory gout, which is a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid build up in the blood remains high and inflammation persists even after treatment with conventional therapies. Chronic refractory gout impacts 40,000 to 50,000 people in the United States. This acquisition leverages Horizon’s existing rheumatology expertise and infrastructure. In addition, the Company is now expanding the legacy KRYSTEXXA account manager team of 15 to approximately 40. This expansion is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2016 and will bring the total sales force size to approximately 85 representatives commercializing KRYSTEXXA. |

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA are used and provided by Horizon as non-GAAP financial measures. Horizon provides certain other financial measures such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted gross profit and gross profit ratio, adjusted operating and other expenses and adjusted cash from operations, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition-related expenses, loss on debt extinguishment and loss on sale of long-term investments, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, royalty accretion, non-cash interest expense, and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected 2016 financial results and trends. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Horizon has not provided reconciliation of its 2016 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected, due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon’s stock price on share-based compensation, the variability associated with acquisition-related expenses due to timing and other factors.

These forward-looking statements are based on Horizon Pharma’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties.
