Allergan continues its baseless attacks • Allergan has once again provided false and misleading statements about Valeant’s business – In addition to not adjusting for Fx, divestitures, or discontinuations, it is not clear which numbers Allergan is using for organic growth calculations • Allergan’s September 29 th presentation is an attempt to distance itself from repeated negative statements about their expectation for Valeant’s Q3 business performance. As was stated in the September 24 th letter to Mr. Pyott and Mr. Gallagher from J. Michael Pearson: – On multiple occasions, you have said that “Valeant’s growth is unsustainable�� and that “Valeant's 3Q14 results will reveal further weakness of true ‘organic growth.’” You have also questioned whether Bausch + Lomb growth rates would continue in the third quarter. • We welcome the opportunity to sit down with Allergan management to review our financial results and future outlook Allergan is once again attempting to “move the goal posts” now that Valeant has disclosed Q3 expectations that disprove Allergan’s previous statements 4 |
Overview of Q3 disclosure • On September 24 th Valeant provided an update on expected Q3 results: – Expected same store organic growth of GREATER THAN 15% (unadjusted for generics) – Bausch + Lomb expected to deliver GREATER THAN 10% organic growth (unadjusted for generics or discontinuations) – Valeant Q3 results expected to beat consensus on revenue and be better than guidance on cash EPS, organic growth, restructuring charges and adjusted cash flow from operations – EXPECT CONTINUED STRONG DOUBLE-DIGIT SAME STORE ORGANIC GROWTH IN THE FOURTH QUARTER • These expected results are based on an early read of the quarter which we expect to exceed and in some cases significantly exceed when we report results on October 20 th 5 |
Explanation of organic growth • Organic growth is based on product sales: – Same Store Sales – This measure provides growth rates for businesses that have been owned for one year or more • Calculation: ((Current Year Total product sales – acquisitions within the last year + YoY FX impact)- (Prior Year Total product sales – divestitures & discontinuations))/( Prior Year Total product sales – divestitures & discontinuations) – Pro Forma – This measure provides year over year growth rates for the entire business, including those that have been acquired within the last year • Calculation: ((Current Year Total product sales + YoY FX impact + divestitures or discontinuations) – (Prior Year Total product sales + Pro Forma impact of acquisitions within the last year))/(Prior Year Total product sales + Pro Forma impact of acquisitions within the last year) • B+L Q3 2014 growth rate of 10%+ is Pro Forma based on full quarter Q3 2013 and 2014 sales • Same store Q3 2014 includes B&L revenues for August 6 th 2014 through September 30 th 2014 to make the calculation “apples to apples” based on transaction close date 6 |
