(1) On Sept. 26, 2016, Horizon Pharma agreed to pay Express Scripts $65 million as part of a litigation settlement, which was recorded as a one-time reduction to  the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  The exclusion of the $65 million settlement from GAAP net sales for  GAAP net sales is the only adjustment reflected in 2016 third-quarter and year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted net sales.

Company Highlights

• Third-quarter net sales were $271.6 million, driven by continued strong growth from the Company’s orphan and rheumatology business units.
   
• Third-quarter net sales of Horizon Pharma’s medicines for rare diseases, which include KRYSTEXXA®, RAVICTI®, PROCYSBI®, ACTIMMUNE®, BUPHENYL® and QUINSAIR™, increased 65 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016.  Net sales of the Company’s rare disease medicines represented 59 percent of total net sales compared to 35 percent of non-GAAP adjusted net sales in the third quarter of 2016.
   
• On Oct. 25, 2017, the Company announced that the first patient was enrolled in the Phase 3 confirmatory clinical trial for teprotumumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody biologic medicine candidate.  Teprotumumab, an IGF-1R inhibitor, is in development for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active thyroid eye disease (TED), a rare, painful and debilitating autoimmune condition that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the eye, causing inflammation in the eye muscles and fatty tissue behind the eye.  This can also cause the eyes to protrude from their sockets, a condition known as proptosis.  There are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapies that exist for TED. 
   
• The Company is presenting data on KRYSTEXXA at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) meeting Nov. 3 to 8, 2017, where it is expanding awareness of KRYSTEXXA as an important option for the treatment of chronic gout in adult patients refractory to conventional therapy, or uncontrolled gout. 
   
• The Company presented data on PROCYSBI at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) meeting Oct. 31 to Nov. 5, 2017, that demonstrated the beneficial impact one year of PROCYSBI therapy can have on previously untreated children six years of age and younger with nephropathic cystinosis.
   
• On Oct. 26, 2017, the Company launched PROCYSBI in Canada following approval in June.  PROCYSBI is the only cystine-depleting agent approved in Canada for treatment of nephropathic cystinosis.

(1) PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR were acquired on Oct. 25, 2016.  Q3 16 pre-acquisition net sales of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR were $35.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  Pre-acquisition net sales for the first nine months of 2016 of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR were $94.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
(2) On June 23, 2017, Horizon Pharma completed the divestiture of a European subsidiary that owned the marketing rights to PROCSYBI and QUINSAIR in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.  Horizon Pharma retains marketing rights for the two medicines in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Asia.
(3) On Sept. 26, 2016, Horizon Pharma agreed to pay Express Scripts $65 million as part of a litigation settlement, which was recorded as a one-time reduction to GAAP net sales for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The exclusion of the $65 million settlement from GAAP net sales is the only adjustment reflected in third quarter and year-to-date 2016 non-GAAP adjusted net sales.

• Orphan Business Unit:  Third-quarter net sales for the orphan business unit were $117.4 million, an increase of 64 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016.
  
  RAVICTI net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $50.9 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016, driven by continued conversion from older-generation nitrogen-scavenger therapies, as well as the addition of treatment-naïve patients, in part due to the recently updated RAVICTI label expanding the use of the medicine to patients older than two months of age.  The Company expects RAVICTI to be available in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2017 in partnership with Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (SOBI). 
  
  PROCYSBI net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $33.5 million and no longer include net sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions following the sale of those geographic rights to Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. on June 23, 2017.  ACTIMMUNE net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $29.2 million, an increase of 17 percent versus the third quarter of 2016, driven by the Company’s continued efforts to establish the role of ACTIMMUNE in a broader range of chronic granulomatous disease patients. 
  
  
• Rheumatology Business Unit:  Third-quarter net sales for the rheumatology business unit were $58.1 million, an increase of 44 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016. 
  
  KRYSTEXXA net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $42.8 million, an increase of 67 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016, driven by continued strong year-over-year vial demand.
  
  During the third quarter, the Company remained on track to complete the further expansion of its rheumatology business unit by year-end to nearly 200 employees from more than 100 to increase awareness of uncontrolled gout among physicians and patients, given the clear unmet need that exists for thousands of people with uncontrolled gout.  The objective of the initiative is to reach more physicians – both rheumatologists and now nephrologists, kidney specialists who also treat gout.
  

• Primary Care Business Unit:  Third-quarter net sales for the primary care business unit were $96.1 million, a decrease of 41 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016, due to the implementation of the new contracting model with pharmacy benefit managers.  As expected, third-quarter 2017 net sales declined sequentially over second-quarter 2017 net sales, primarily as a result of lower average net realized price (ANRP).

Clinical Development Update

• Teprotumumab:  On Oct. 25, 2017, the Company announced that the first patient was enrolled in the teprotumumab Phase 3 clinical trial, ahead of schedule.  Titled OPTIC (Treatment of Graves’ Orbitopathy (Thyroid Eye Disease) to Reduce Proptosis with Teprotumumab Infusions in a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Study), the pivotal confirmatory study will evaluate teprotumumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active TED.  The study is expected to enroll 76 patients across 11 centers in the United States, Germany and Italy. 
  
  Teprotumumab Phase 2 results were clinically meaningful and highly statistically significant and were published in The New England Journal of Medicine on May 4, 2017.  This randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of teprotumumab in patients with recent onset, moderate-to-severe TED.  In the study, 88 patients were assigned to receive eight infusions of teprotumumab or placebo once every three weeks for 21 weeks.  The primary endpoint was response in the study eye, defined as a reduction in the Clinical Activity Score of ≥2 points and a reduction of proptosis of ≥2 mm at week 24.
  
  In the intent-to-treat population, 29 of 42 (69 percent) patients receiving teprotumumab and 9 of 45 (20 percent) patients receiving placebo were responders at week 24 (p˂0.001).  Therapeutic effects were rapid, with responder rates of 43 percent for patients treated with teprotumumab and 4 percent for patients treated with placebo at week six (p<0.001).  Treatment with teprotumumab was well tolerated, with the majority of adverse events being mild.  The only clearly treatment-related adverse event was hyperglycemia in diabetic patients, which was controlled by adjusting diabetes medication.
  

• KRYSTEXXA:  The Company is presenting data on KRYSTEXXA at the ACR meeting Nov. 3 to 8, 2017, where it is expanding awareness of KRYSTEXXA as an important treatment option for uncontrolled gout.  Data from a post-hoc analysis of two pivotal, six-month, randomized KRYSTEXXA clinical trials showed that responders to KRYSTEXXA experienced meaningful reductions in blood pressure that were independent of changes in renal (kidney) function.  Blood pressure reduction is an important insight relevant to rheumatologists and nephrologists.  Emerging data is being presented from the open-label investigator-initiated TRIPLE (Tolerization Reduces Intolerance to Pegloticase and Prolongs the Urate Lowering Effect) trial that is evaluating ways to improve the KRYSTEXXA response rate and reduce the rate of infusion reactions.  This study is the first to show prospectively that when treatment “stopping rules” are used, which is occurring more frequently in real-world practice, the rate of infusion reactions can be meaningfully reduced.  The rate was less than one percent to date in the ongoing TRIPLE trial. 
  
  The Company has submitted to the U.S. FDA a proposed label update in the Prescribing Information for KRYSTEXXA based on additional analysis of the Phase 3 clinical trials that demonstrated a very low infusion reaction rate if stopping rules were used.  The rate from this post-hoc analysis of the clinical trials was similar to the rate seen to date in the ongoing TRIPLE study, which was also provided as supplemental supportive data.   
  
  The Company has a complementary multi-pronged strategy in place to evaluate new approaches to the clinical use of KRYSTEXXA, including improving response rates.  To that end, the investigator-initiated RECIPE (REduCing Immunogenicity to PegloticasE) trial is expected to begin enrolling patients by the end of the year.  This trial will evaluate the impact of adding CellCept®, a commonly used immunomodulator, on the KRYSTEXXA response rate.
  
  KRYSTEXXA ACR Investor Webcast:  The Company will hold an investor webcast on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017, at 9 a.m. EST to provide an overview of the gout market, KRYSTEXXA and the Company’s clinical strategy for KRYSTEXXA, including data presented at ACR.  The live webcast and a replay may be accessed at http://ir.horizon-pharma.com.
  

• RAVICTI:  The Company remains on track to submit a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in the first quarter of 2018 to expand the age range for chronic management of urea cycle disorders (UCDs) to birth and older.  This follows the April 28, 2017, sNDA approval to expand the age range to patients to two months of age and older from two years of age and older.  
   
• PROCYSBI:  The Company presented data on PROCYSBI at the American Society of Nephrology meeting Oct. 31 to Nov. 5, 2017, that demonstrated the impact one year of PROCYSBI therapy can have on children six years of age and younger with nephropathic cystinosis.  In the study, children never before treated with cysteamine therapy were able to maintain their white blood cell cystine levels – a biomarker for disease control – and reach several development milestones similar to what are expected for an average child of the same age, such as height, weight and body surface area.  
  

• ACTIMMUNE:  Three investigator-initiated cancer-combination trials with ACTIMMUNE continue to advance.  These studies are evaluating cancer treatment therapies for advanced breast cancer patients, Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma and certain cancerous solid tumors.

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 Pharma as non-GAAP financial measures.  Horizon Pharma provides certain other financial measures such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP tax rate and non-GAAP operating cash flow, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures.  These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon Pharma’s performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows.  Adjustments to Horizon Pharma's GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, charges related to the discontinuation of ACTIMMUNE development for Friedreich’s ataxia, gain from divestiture, an upfront fee for a license of a patent, a litigation settlement, loss on debt extinguishment, costs of debt refinancing, drug manufacturing harmonization costs, Primary Care business unit realignment costs, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, royalty accretion, non-cash interest expense, intangible and other non-current asset impairment charges, 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 maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures.  Horizon Pharma believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon Pharma's financial and operating 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 2017 financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information.  In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon Pharma's management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance.  For example, adjusted EBITDA is used by Horizon Pharma as one measure of management performance under certain incentive compensation arrangements.  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 Pharma has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2017 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items such as acquisition-related expenses and share-based compensation that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon Pharma's stock price, the variability associated with the size or timing of acquisitions and other factors.  These components of net income (loss) could significantly impact Horizon Pharma’s actual net income (loss).
