FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
($ in thousands, except per share amounts)

U.S. BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS

During the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals business unit focused on growth for recently launched products XIAFLEX^® for Peyronie's disease and AVEED^®.

Third quarter 2015 U.S. Branded Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Revenues of $305 million, a 27 percent increase compared to third quarter 2014; this increase was primarily attributable to the strategic addition of Auxilium Pharmaceuticals.
• Net sales of Lidoderm^® decreased 29 percent compared to third quarter 2014; this decrease was attributable to lower brand demand due to generic competition and a new generic entrant in August 2015.
• Net sales of Voltaren^® Gel increased 5 percent compared to third quarter 2014; this increase was primarily attributable to increased volumes resulting from an increased sales and marketing emphasis on the product.

U.S. GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS

During the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals business unit continued to advance key manufacturing, quality, commercial and R&D initiatives to support its organic growth objectives and began the full-scale integration of Par following the closing of the acquisition at the end of September 2015. The U.S. Generics business is now named Par Pharmaceutical, an Endo International Company and is led by Paul Campanelli, Group President and a member of the Executive Leadership Team. 

Third quarter 2015 U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Net sales of $368 million, a 15 percent increase compared to third quarter 2014; this increase was attributable to underlying organic growth of the business, including new product launches, as well as growth from the addition of sales from our September 2015 acquisition of Par and our August 2014 acquisition of DAVA Pharmaceuticals.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS

As part of Endo's planned expansion of its International Pharmaceuticals business unit and to further diversify the Company's financial profile, it recently announced multiple strategic transactions designed to increase focus on the core pharmaceuticals business line within its Litha Group. This included the acquisition of a broad product and R&D portfolio from the Aspen Group, which closed in October 2015, and the strategic divestiture of a portfolio of non-core products, which is expected to close by early 2016.

Third quarter 2015 International Pharmaceuticals results include:

• Net sales of $73 million, primarily attributable to Paladin Labs and the Litha Group, which were acquired in February 2014, as well as sales from Grupo Farmaceutico Somar, acquired in July 2014.

2015 Financial Guidance

For the full twelve months ended December 31, 2015, at current exchange rates, Endo affirms revenue and adjusted diluted EPS guidance from continuing operations. The Company estimates:

• Total revenue to be between $3.22 billion and $3.27 billion;
• Reported (GAAP) diluted earnings per share (loss per share) from continuing operations to be between $(3.70) and $(3.60); and
• Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to be between $4.50 and $4.60.

The Company's 2015 financial guidance is based on the following assumptions:

• Adjusted gross margin of approximately 64 percent;
• Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenues to be approximately 21.5 percent;
• Adjusted interest expense of approximately $375 million;
• Adjusted effective tax rate of between 9 percent and 10 percent; and
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations assume full year adjusted diluted shares outstanding of approximately 201 million.

Asset Impairments
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $240 million of pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges related to intangible assets. This included a $150 million charge that was triggered by underperformance of STENDRA^®, NATESTO^™, and Testim^® and the expectation of lower future cash flows for these products as Endo prioritizes future investments across other products. In addition, the Company identified impairment indicators on certain other indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets based on third quarter decisions to reprioritize certain product portfolios and in-process research and development programs primarily across the Company's legacy Qualitest business assets. This assessment resulted in a combined additional pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of approximately $90 million.

As a result of the sustained downturn in the TRT market and the underperformance of STENDRA^®, the Company initiated an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our Urology, Endocrinology and Oncology (UEO) reporting unit as of September 30, 2015 and recorded an estimated pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $680 million representing the difference between the estimated implied fair value of the UEO reporting unit's goodwill and its respective net book value.

The pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges are partially offset by $80.3 million of income recognized during the third quarter related to a reduction in the fair value of contingent cash consideration liabilities.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components and Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share amounts are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted earnings per share amounts. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that these are Non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components (unlike U.S. GAAP net income 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. See Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of Endo's reasons for using non-GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Projected GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share Guidance for 2015

The Company's guidance is being issued based on certain assumptions including:

• Certain of the above amounts are based on estimates and there can be no assurance that Endo will achieve these results.
• Includes all completed business development transactions as of November 5, 2015.

Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Endo.

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 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; 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; 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 strategic initiatives; the results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims; 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 maintain a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including higher unemployment, political instability, financial hardship, consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, fluctuations or devaluations in the value of sovereign government debt, as well as the general impact of continued economic volatility, can materially affect Endo's results.
