__________
(1)	Certain prior period adjusted amounts have been revised as a result of a change in the Company's definition of its adjusted financial metrics. Refer to the "Supplemental Financial Information" section below for additional discussion.
(2)	Reported Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share from Continuing Operations is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and, if there is income from continuing operations during the period, the dilutive impact of ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. In the case of Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares, Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is used in determining whether to include such dilutive impact.
(3)	The information presented in the table above includes non-GAAP financial measures such as "Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations," "Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares," "Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share from Continuing Operations" and "Adjusted EBITDA." Refer to the "Supplemental Financial Information" section below for reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Total revenues were $760 million in fourth-quarter 2020, a decrease of 1% compared to $765 million during the same period in 2019. This result was primarily attributable to decreased Generic Pharmaceuticals segment revenues which were largely offset by increased Sterile Injectables segment revenues.

Reported income from continuing operations in fourth-quarter 2020 was $141 million compared to a reported loss from continuing operations of $208 million during the same period in 2019. This result was primarily attributable to decreased asset impairment charges and a non-cash income tax benefit resulting from a change in deferred tax liabilities following the BioSpecifics Technologies Corp. (BioSpecifics) acquisition in fourth-quarter 2020. Reported diluted net income per share from continuing operations in fourth-quarter 2020 was $0.60 compared to reported diluted net loss per share from continuing operations in fourth-quarter 2019 of $0.92.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in fourth-quarter 2020 was $176 million compared to $185 million in fourth-quarter 2019. Adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations in fourth-quarter 2020 was $0.75 compared to $0.80 in fourth-quarter 2019. These decreases were primarily attributable to higher adjusted operating expenses.

BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Fourth-quarter 2020 Branded Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $225 million and were comparable to revenues of $226 million during fourth-quarter 2019.

Specialty Products revenues increased 4% to $154 million in fourth-quarter 2020 compared to $149 million in fourth-quarter 2019, with sales of XIAFLEX^® increasing 4% to $105 million compared to sales of $102 million in fourth-quarter 2019. Established Products revenues decreased 8% to $71 million in fourth-quarter 2020 compared to $77 million in fourth-quarter 2019, driven primarily by TESTOPEL^® supply normalization.

STERILE INJECTABLES SEGMENT

Fourth-quarter 2020 Sterile Injectables segment revenues were $332 million, an increase of 16% compared to $285 million during fourth-quarter 2019. This increase was primarily driven by higher VASOSTRICT^® revenues.

GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Fourth-quarter 2020 Generic Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $180 million, a decrease of 20% compared to $226 million during fourth-quarter 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on certain key products.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Fourth-quarter 2020 International Pharmaceuticals segment revenues decreased 18% to $23 million compared to $29 million during fourth-quarter 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on certain key products.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information on the Company's use of such non-GAAP financial measures, refer to Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes an explanation of the Company's reasons for using non-GAAP measures.

The tables below provide reconciliations of certain of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP amounts. Refer to the "Notes to the Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for additional details regarding the adjustments to the non-GAAP financial measures detailed throughout this Supplemental Financial Information section.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company revised its definition of its adjusted financial metrics to exclude certain legal costs. The Company believes that such costs are not indicative of business performance and that excluding them more accurately reflects the Company's results and better enables management to compare financial results between periods. As a result of this change, the Company's adjusted financial metrics now exclude opioid-related legal expenses. Prior period adjusted results throughout this document have also been adjusted to reflect this change. The impact of excluding these costs during the three months and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is reflected in the Certain legal costs lines of each of the following reconciliation tables.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not prescribed by or prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP net income and its components and diluted net income per share amounts. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, the company stresses that these are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations and its components (unlike GAAP net income from continuing operations and its components) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. However, the Company does not provide reconciliations of projected non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures, nor does it provide comparable projected GAAP financial measures for such projected non-GAAP financial measures. The Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for asset impairments, contingent consideration adjustments, legal settlements, gain / loss on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to inventory and other charges reflected in the reconciliation of historic numbers, the amounts of which could be significant.

See Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of Endo's non-GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the statements by Mr. Coleman, as well as other statements regarding product development, market potential, corporate strategy and optimization efforts, together with Endo's net income per share from continuing operations amounts, product net sales, revenue forecasts and other financial guidance for the first-quarter and full-year 2021, the impact of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic and any other statements that refer to Endo's expected, estimated or anticipated future results. Statements including words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plan," "will," "may," "look forward," "intend," "guidance," "future" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Endo's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Endo often does not know what the actual results will be until after the end of the applicable reporting period. Therefore, Endo will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement.

All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Endo's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Endo's judgment only as of the date of this press release. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Endo's businesses, including, among other things, the following: changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; changes in legislation and regulatory developments; Endo's ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection for its intellectual property rights; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes, including regulatory decisions, product recalls, withdrawals and other unusual items; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing, tax and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of any strategic and/or optimization initiatives; the timing or results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims or actual or contingent liabilities, settlement discussions, negotiations or other adverse proceedings, including pending and future opioid-related matters, pending tax matters with the IRS and proceedings that involve or may involve key products such as VASOSTRICT®; unfavorable publicity regarding the misuse of opioids; the timing and uncertainty of any acquisition, including the possibility that various closing conditions may not be satisfied or waived, uncertainty surrounding the successful integration of any acquired business (such as our recently completed acquisition of BioSpecifics) and failure to achieve the expected financial and commercial results from such acquisition; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; and Endo's ability to obtain and successfully manufacture, maintain and distribute a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner.
