Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Horizon provides certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax benefit (expense) and tax rate, non-GAAP operating cash flow and certain other non-GAAP income statement line items, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon’s performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures exclude, as applicable, acquisition and/or divestiture-related costs, costs associated with our pending transaction with Amgen Inc. as well as the process leading to the transaction, manufacturing facility start-up costs, restructuring and realignment costs, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, inventory step-up expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment charges, gain (loss) on equity security investments and sales of assets 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 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. 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.

NOTES FOR CERTAIN INCOME STATEMENT LINE ITEMS - NON-GAAP

1.		Primarily represents transaction and integration costs, including, advisory, legal, consulting and certain employee-related costs, incurred in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures.

2.		Primarily represents transaction-related costs, including, advisory, legal and consulting costs, incurred in connection with the transaction with Amgen, as well as the process leading to the transaction.

3.		We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $7.0 million and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized net unrealized losses of $6.2 million due to the change in fair value of these securities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized net unrealized gains of $1.3 million due to the change in fair value of these securities.

4.		Primarily represents severance and consulting costs related to the wind down of our former inflammation business during 2022 and rent and maintenance charges as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we ended TEPEZZA drug substance manufacturing development activities in the Seattle facility of a contract manufacturer and recorded a charge of $16.6 million to R&D expense related to manufacturing development activities in this facility.

5.		During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $5.6 million of manufacturing facility start-up costs related to our drug product biologics manufacturing facility in Waterford, Ireland. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $3.6 million of manufacturing facility start-up costs related to the purchase of our drug product biologics manufacturing facility in Waterford, Ireland from EirGen in July 2021.

6.		Intangible amortization expenses are primarily associated with our developed technology related to TEPEZZA, KRYSTEXXA, RAVICTI, PROCYSBI, UPLIZNA, ACTIMMUNE, BUPHENYL and RAYOS.

7.		During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized in cost of goods sold $91.7 million and $27.6 million, respectively, for inventory step-up expense related to UPLIZNA inventory revalued in connection with the Viela acquisition. Because inventory step-up expense is related to an acquisition, will not continue indefinitely and has a significant effect on our gross profit, gross margin percentage and net income for all affected periods, we exclude inventory step-up expense from our non-GAAP financial measures.

8.		Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with our debt.

9.		Represents share-based compensation expense associated with our restricted stock unit and performance stock unit grants to our employees and non-employee directors, and our employee share purchase plan.

10.		Represents depreciation expense related to our property, plant, equipment, software and leasehold improvements.

11.		Income tax adjustments on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments represent the estimated income tax impact of each pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment based on the statutory income tax rate of the applicable jurisdictions for each non-GAAP adjustment.

12.		During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized tax expense attributable to state tax legislation enacted during the period, resulting in a non-GAAP tax adjustment of $3.4 million.

		During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized a U.S. federal and state tax liability on U.S. taxable income generated from an intercompany transfer and license of intellectual property from a U.S. subsidiary to an Irish subsidiary which was partially offset by the recognition of a deferred tax asset in the Irish subsidiary, resulting in a non-GAAP tax adjustment of $28.3 million. We also recognized a reduction in the state tax rate expected to apply to the reversal of temporary differences between the book values and tax bases of certain assets acquired through the Viela acquisition. The reduction in state tax rate resulted in a reduction in the deferred tax liability relating to these assets and a non-GAAP tax adjustment of $49.1 million.

13.		Our interim goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of 2022 indicated an impairment which represented the difference between the estimated fair value of our former inflammation business segment and its carrying value. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of $56.2 million in June 2022 representing the full amount of goodwill for the former business segment.

14.		During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a right-of-use asset impairment charge of $12.4 million as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office.

15.		We recorded $5.0 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 for litigation settlements.

16.		Gain on sale of asset during the year ended December 31, 2021, represents a $2.0 million contingent consideration payment related to the sale of MIGERGOT in 2019.

17.		Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, the Company is separately presenting upfront, milestone and similar payments pursuant to collaborations, licenses of third-party technologies, and asset acquisitions as “Acquired in-process research and development and milestones” (“IPR&D”) expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Amounts recorded in this line item for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, would have historically been recorded to R&D expenses. The Company believes the new classification assists users of the financial statements in better understanding the payments incurred to IPR&D. Prior period condensed consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform with the new classification. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to IPR&D and milestones expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
