"In the first quarter, Allergan generated strong sales and earnings growth," said David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the rapid integration of SkinMedica, the completion of the MAP Pharmaceuticals acquisition and are committed to bringing LEVADEX® as an innovative therapy for migraine to market."

Product and Pipeline Update

During the first quarter of 2013:

  • On January 18, 2013, Allergan announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency in adults who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of an anticholinergic medication.
  • On January 22, 2013, Allergan and MAP Pharmaceuticals announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby Allergan would acquire 100% of the shares of MAP Pharmaceuticals for a price of $25.00 per share. On March 1, 2013, Allergan completed the acquisition of MAP Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing new therapies in Neurology, including LEVADEX® (dihydroergotamine) inhalation aerosol for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. LEVADEX® is currently under review with the FDA.
  • On January 29, 2013, Allergan restructured its collaboration agreement with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spectrum") pursuant to which Spectrum reacquired all rights from Allergan under the collaboration agreement in exchange for agreeing to pay Allergan a royalty on future net sales of specified products. Going forward, Allergan will have no further obligations under the agreement to share development costs or perform any development, regulatory or other activities.
  • On February 1, 2013, Allergan completed its previously announced review of strategic options for maximizing the value of its obesity intervention business, and has formally committed to pursue a sale of that business unit. Accordingly, Allergan has begun to consider offers for the sale of that business unit and currently expects to execute a signed agreement by the middle of 2013. As a result of Allergan's approved plan to sell its obesity intervention business unit, beginning in the first quarter of 2013, the financial results from that business unit are reported as discontinued operations in Allergan's statement of earnings and the related net assets are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale in Allergan's balance sheet. Prior period statements of earnings and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 have been retrospectively revised to reflect the financial results of the obesity intervention business unit as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities as held for sale. In the first quarter of 2013, Allergan also reported a separate non-cash pre-tax disposal loss of $346.2 million ($259.0 million after tax) from the write-down of the net assets held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. As previously stated, Allergan intends to offset any potential non-GAAP earnings dilution related to this transaction.
  • On February 20, 2013, Allergan announced that the FDA approved the NATRELLE® 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled Breast Implants for use in breast reconstruction, augmentation and revision surgery.

Following the end of the first quarter of 2013:

  • On April 16, 2013, Allergan announced that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) to its New Drug Application (NDA) for LEVADEX® (dihydroergotamine) inhalation aerosol for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. Allergan is pleased that, in addition to the response, the company has already received draft labeling from the FDA. Allergan anticipates minimal revisions to this labeling. The company is committed to bringing LEVADEX® to market as a potential new acute treatment to address a significant unmet need among the millions of people living with debilitating migraines. The main issues cited in the CRL were already identified by the FDA in prior discussions with Allergan. Allergan has already taken actions to address these concerns, including the April 12, 2013 acquisition of Exemplar Pharma, LLC, the canister filling unit manufacturer, for less than $20 million.
  • On the May 1, 2013 first quarter earnings call, Allergan will provide an update on both the DARPin® and Bimatoprost Scalp Phase II clinical programs.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the statements by Mr. Pyott and other statements regarding product development, external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions, the contemplated sale of the obesity intervention business, market potential, expected growth and regulatory approvals of LEVADEX® and other products as well as Allergan's earnings per share, product net sales, revenue forecasts and any other statements that refer to Allergan's expected, estimated or anticipated future results. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Allergan's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Allergan often does not know what the actual results will be until after the end of the applicable reporting period. Therefore, Allergan will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Allergan.

All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Allergan's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Allergan'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 Allergan's businesses, including, among other things, the following: changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; 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 Allergan'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, 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 Allergan's results. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Allergan expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required to do so by law.
