(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 GAAP net sales for 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 is the only adjustment reflected in third-quarter and year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted net sales.

Company Highlights

Third-quarter 2016 GAAP net sales, including the previously announced $65 million litigation settlement with Express Scripts as a one-time reduction, were $208.7 million, a decrease of 8 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015, primarily attributable to the settlement. Non-GAAP adjusted net sales excluding the $65 million settlement were $273.7 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven by growth across each of the Company's business units: Orphan, Rheumatology and Primary Care.
Medicines for rare diseases, which include RAVICTI®, ACTIMMUNE®, KRYSTEXXA® and BUPHENYL®, represented 35 percent of total non-GAAP adjusted net sales in the third quarter of 2016, an increase from 29 percent of total net sales in the third quarter of 2015.
Third-quarter 2016 GAAP net loss was $5.9 million or a diluted loss per share of $0.04; and non-GAAP net income was $115.5 million or non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.70.
On October 25, 2016, Horizon Pharma completed the acquisition of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp., which was a significant step in advancing the Company's strategy to expand its rare disease business with the addition of two orphan medicines, PROCYSBI® (cysteamine bitartrate) delayed-release capsules and QUINSAIR™ (aerosolized form of levofloxacin). More than half of the Company's medicines now treat patients with rare diseases.
To provide long-term durability for its primary care medicines, the Company has secured formulary status with two leading Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) that represent approximately 35 percent of covered lives in the United States. The Company remains in active discussions and negotiations with other PBMs and payers with the goal of further increasing access to its medicines. The Company is investing in the expansion of its managed care organization to support its broader contracting strategy with PBMs and payers.
The Company will present data on both KRYSTEXXA and RAYOS at the upcoming American College of Rheumatology meeting November 11-16, 2016, in Washington D.C. This is the first medical meeting in three years where KRYSTEXXA will have a significant clinical and commercial presence, which will continue to expand the awareness of KRYSTEXXA as an important treatment option for refractory chronic gout patients.

Horizon Pharma Confirms 2016 Full-Year Guidance

Confirmed full-year 2016 net sales guidance on a GAAP basis of approximately $980 to $985 million, which includes the previously announced $65 million settlement with Express Scripts as a one-time reduction and includes the acquisition of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. Confirmed net sales guidance on a non-GAAP adjusted basis of approximately $1.045 to $1.050 billion, which excludes the $65 million settlement with Express Scripts.
Confirmed full-year 2016 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $450 to $460 million, which includes the acquisition of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp.

(1) RAVICTI and BUPHENYL were acquired on May 7, 2015.
(2) KRYSTEXXA and MIGERGOT were acquired on January 13, 2016.
(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 non-GAAP adjusted net sales.

Orphan Business Unit: RAVICTI sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $42.2 million, an increase of 26 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015. RAVICTI was launched in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2016. ACTIMMUNE sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $24.9 million. Following the acquisition of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. on October 25, 2016, the Company added to its Orphan Business Unit PROCYSBI for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis, a rare metabolic disorder, and QUINSAIR for the management of chronic pulmonary infections for patients with cystic fibrosis. QUINSAIR is not approved in the United States.

ACTIMMUNE Phase 3 Trial in Friedreich's ataxia and Phase 1 Trial in Oncology
In its pipeline, the Company continues to expect topline data in late December from the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of ACTIMMUNE Dose Escalation in FA (STEADFAST) Phase 3 clinical trial. There are an estimated 3,700 diagnosed patients in the United States with Friedreich's ataxia (FA) and the Company believes an indication for ACTIMMUNE in FA, if approved, could represent a $500 million to $1 billion peak annual net sales opportunity. In the Phase 1 dosing trial evaluating ACTIMMUNE as a combination therapy for certain cancers, the first six-patient cohort was completed in May, the second six-patient cohort was completed in September, and the third six-patient cohort is now enrolling.

Rheumatology Business Unit: KRYSTEXXA sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $25.6 million, an increase of 29 percent sequentially compared to the second quarter of 2016. KRYSTEXXA patient infusions and benefit investigations, which are the leading indicator of new patient starts, continue to increase and the Company is investing in additional commercial support, education and outreach efforts to accelerate growth. RAYOS sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $13.4 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015.
Primary Care Business Unit: Total sales growth for the primary care business unit increased approximately 10 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven by strong performance of PENNSAID 2%. Sales of PENNSAID 2% in the third quarter of 2016 were $80.2 million, an increase of 83 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015. DUEXIS and VIMOVO sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $47.6 million and $32.8 million, respectively.

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 non-GAAP adjusted net sales, non-GAAP, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, 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's performance, operations, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon's GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition-related expenses, an upfront fee for a license of a patent, a litigation settlement, 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 maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon'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 2016 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's management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance. For example, adjusted EBITDA is used by Horizon 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 has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2016 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'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's actual net income (loss).

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to Horizon Pharma's expected full-year 2016 net sales, non-GAAP adjusted net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance, expected financial performance in future periods, expected timing of clinical, regulatory and commercial events, expected benefits of agreements with PBMs, potential market opportunity for Horizon Pharma's medicines in approved and potential additional indications, potential growth of Horizon Pharma's business, expected benefits from the acquisition of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on Horizon Pharma's current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks that Horizon's actual full-year 2016 financial and operating results may differ from its expectations; Horizon Pharma's ability to grow net sales from existing products; the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing from government and third-party payers and risks relating to the success and costs of Horizon's patient support programs; whether Horizon Pharma is unable to enter into additional business arrangements with pharmacy benefit managers and payers on favorable terms or at all; risks related to acquisition integration and achieving projected cost savings and benefits; risks associated with clinical development and regulatory approvals; risks in the ability to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel; competition, including potential generic competition; the ability to protect intellectual property and defend patents; regulatory obligations and oversight, including any changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which Horizon Pharma operates and those risks detailed from time-to-time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Horizon Pharma's filings and reports with the SEC. Horizon Pharma undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation as a result of new information.
