Angus Russell, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Shire's business is progressing well. This quarter we grew Non GAAP earnings per ADS by 6% after increasing our investment in R&D by over 20% to fund our increasingly late stage pipeline. We continue to generate strong cash flows (up 20% to over $350 million in the quarter), which will support our future growth.

"The ADHD market is one of the fastest-growing major therapeutic categories in the US and our lead product VYVANSE continues to gain share and generated strong prescription growth in the US despite the entry of additional generics in the ADHD market. We are advancing our preparations for the potential approval and launch of VYVANSE in Europe, where it will be called ELVANSE. Our rare disease business also continues to grow, with FIRAZYR performing strongly following its US launch. DERMAGRAFT product sales were impacted by the re-engineering of key areas of the Regenerative Medicine business, including an ongoing restructuring of the sales and marketing organization and the implementation of a new commercial model, all of which is expected to position the product for future sales growth. We anticipate that the run rate for DERMAGRAFT revenues will recover during 2013.

"In our advancing pipeline we have late stage studies for Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate ("LDX" - the active ingredient in VYVANSE) in major depressive disorder ongoing, we are planning to initiate our Phase 3 program for binge eating disorder around the turn of the year and following discussions with the FDA, we plan to initiate Phase 3 studies in negative symptoms of schizophrenia in the near future. We've also identified potential new indications for FIRAZYR and DERMAGRAFT. Our intrathecal trials for Hunter CNS, SanFilippo A and Metachromatic Leukodystrophy are also progressing well.

"Shire remains on track to deliver double digit full year earnings growth in 2012. We are increasingly confident in our ability to meet our target of delivering sound earnings growth in 2013 and deliver increased growth beyond that."

  • Product sales were up 4% to $1,055 million (Q3 2011: $1,018 million). On a CER basis product sales were up 6%. This quarter, sales were affected by $28 million of unfavorable foreign exchange, primarily in our Human Genetic Therapies ("HGT") business (up 9% on a reported basis, up 16% on a CER basis), particularly due to weaker European currencies.

Product sales excluding ADDERALL XR® were up 10% (13% on a CER basis), as we saw strong growth from VYVANSE® (up 24% to $247 million), VPRIV® (up 16% to $75 million), INTUNIV® (up 23% to $69 million) and FIRAZYR® (up to $30 million from $7 million in Q3 2011). Product sales growth was held back by DERMAGRAFT® (down 33% to $34 million), due to the ongoing restructuring of the Regenerative Medicine sales and marketing organization.

ADDERALL XR product sales were down 32% to $102 million due to lower prescription volumes and higher sales deductions (Q3 2011 benefited from significantly lower sales deductions following a lowering of the estimate of inventory in the US retail pipeline). A generic version of ADDERALL XR was approved late in Q2 2012.

  • Total revenues were up 1% (up 4% on a CER basis) as the growth in product sales was offset, as expected, by lower royalties, particularly ADDERALL XR royalties received from Impax Laboratories Inc. ("Impax") following the launch of Actavis Inc.'s ("Actavis") generic product.
  • On a Non GAAP basis:

Operating income was down 5% to $325 million (Q3 2011: $341 million), as combined total operating costs increased at a slightly higher rate (4%) than total revenues. Research and development ("R&D") expenditure was up 22% due to our investment in new uses for LDX[(1)] and other early and late stage pipeline programs. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenditure decreased 5% in Q3 2012, reflecting our continuing focus on effective cost management and some favorable foreign exchange impact.

On a US GAAP basis:

Operating income was up 7% to $273 million (Q3 2011: $255 million), as Q3 2011 included certain in-process R&D ("IPR&D") impairment charges and higher costs related to acquisition and integration activities.

  • Non GAAP diluted earnings per American Depository Share ("ADS") increased 6% to $1.36 (Q3 2011: $1.28), as a lower Non GAAP effective tax rate of 18% (Q3 2011: 25%) more than offset lower Non GAAP operating income.

On a US GAAP basis diluted earnings per ADS increased 17% to $1.19 (Q3 2011: $1.02), due to higher operating income and a lower US GAAP effective tax rate of 15% (Q3 2011: 27%).

  • Cash generation, a Non GAAP measure, grew strongly by 20% to $355 million (Q3 2011: $296 million).

Free cash flow, also a Non GAAP measure, was up 90% to $261 million (Q3 2011: $138 million) due to higher cash generation, lower cash tax payments and lower capital expenditure in Q3 2012 compared to Q3 2011.

On a US GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was up 61% to $288 million (Q3 2011: $179 million).

  • Reflecting our strong cash generation, net cash at September 30, 2012 was $213 million (December 31, 2011: net debt of $488 million).
  1. LDX, currently marketed as VYVANSE in the US for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ("ADHD").

  • Shire has a strong balance sheet and continued robust cash generation, and considers the efficient use of capital on behalf of shareholders as an important objective.
  • We are initiating a share buy-back program of up to $500 million. This buy-back program will not constrain the Company's ability to execute its strategy of generating shareholder value through organic growth and acquisitions which further enhance the quality and growth potential of the business.

    This buy-back program is within the terms of the authority granted by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. The market will be notified in accordance with the listing rules if and when purchases are effected.

OUTLOOK


Shire has performed well in the year so far and is on track to deliver double-digit full-year earnings growth in 2012. We now expect product sales growth to be around 12% for the full year. This reflects our expectation of continued lower sales in the fourth quarter for DERMAGRAFT while we restructure our Regenerative Medicine commercial operations, and also the foreign exchange impact we have absorbed on some of our products this quarter.

We now expect an improved contribution from royalties and other revenues, of approximately 15% to 20% lower than last year, a change from our previous guidance of 25% to 35% lower. This reflects the recent settlement reached with GSK which will result in Shire recording additional, one-time royalty income of $38 million in Q4 2012.

We continue to anticipate some marginal dilution of Non GAAP gross margins in the full year.

We are continuing our investment in the long term prospects of the business and now expect year on year growth of combined Non GAAP R&D and SG&A expenditure to trend towards the lower end of our previous guidance of 10-12%.

We expect our full year Non GAAP effective tax rate to be in the range of 18%-20%, as previously guided.

Overall, we remain on track to deliver double digit full year earnings growth in 2012.

In 2013, we expect revenues from ADDERALL XR (including its associated royalty) to reduce as we absorb the full year impact of the recent launch of a generic competitor. We will be investing in several late stage clinical trials and with careful management of our cost base and prioritization of other investments, we are increasingly confident in our ability to meet our target of delivering sound earnings growth in 2013 and deliver increased growth beyond that.

THIRD QUARTER 2012 AND RECENT PRODUCT AND PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTS


Products


VPRIV - for the treatment of Type 1 Gaucher disease

  • In October 2012 Shire submitted its response to the matters raised by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in respect of production of VPRIV drug substance at Lexington, and continues to work closely with the FDA towards a satisfactory resolution.

Notwithstanding the ongoing discussions with the FDA, Shire continues to supply VPRIV to US patients through its existing approved US manufacturing facilities and has the capacity to meet the anticipated demand for VPRIV from current and new patients both in the US and globally.

DERMAGRAFT - for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers ("DFU") in Canada

  • On September 5, 2012 Shire announced that DERMAGRAFT had received regulatory approval from Health Canada as a class IV medical device for the treatment of DFU. Shire intends to make DERMAGRAFT available in Canada in Q1 2013. This approval is an important first step for Shire Regenerative Medicine as it continues to develop its international expansion strategy.

VYVANSE - for the treatment of ADHD

  • On September 12, 2012 Shire announced that the FDA has accepted the filing for review of a supplemental New Drug Application for VYVANSE. Shire is seeking approval of VYVANSE as a maintenance treatment in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with ADHD. There are currently no stimulants approved for maintenance treatment in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with ADHD. The FDA has issued a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date of April 29, 2013.

Pipeline


LDX - for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder ("MDD")

  • The Phase 3 program is ongoing with headline data expected in the second half of 2013.

SPD602 - for the treatment of chronic iron overload requiring chelation therapy

  • A Phase 2 trial has been initiated to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SPD602 in patients with tranfusional iron overload and whose primary diagnosis is hereditary or congenital anemia.

HGT1110 for the treatment of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy ("MLD")

  • In Q3 2012, Shire initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for the treatment of MLD with HGT1110, an enzyme replacement therapy which is delivered intrathecally. This product has been granted orphan designation in the US and the EU. There is no currently available therapy for MLD.

FIRAZYR - for the treatment of ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema

  • An investigator sponsored trial into the use of FIRAZYR for the treatment of ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema was recently completed in the EU. The results of the investigator sponsored trial were positive and the investigator is preparing an article for publication. ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema is a rare and potentially life-threatening side effect of ACE inhibitor therapy, with approximately 130,000 cases per year in the US and 160,000 in the EU and no currently approved therapy. Shire is reviewing the necessary steps likely to be required to extend FIRAZYR's label to include this indication in each of the US and EU.

DERMAGRAFT - for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa ("EB")

  • Shire expects Phase 3 clinical trials to commence towards the end of 2012. EB is a rare genetic disorder for which there is no approved therapy.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine ("TIGEM") collaboration

  • On October 24, 2012 Shire announced that it had entered into a long-term, broad based, multi-indication research collaboration in rare diseases with Fondazione Telethon, a major Italian biomedical charitable foundation, for several research projects carried out at TIGEM that collectively research 13 undisclosed rare disease indications that have the potential to add multiple novel therapeutic candidates to the early stage pipeline.

License agreement with IGAN Biosciences, Inc. ("IGAN")

  • On October 24, 2012 Shire acquired a worldwide exclusive license from IGAN to develop and commercialize protease-based therapeutics for the treatment of IgA nephropathy, a rare kidney disease. This pre-clinical opportunity is an appealing strategic fit for Shire's rare disease portfolio.

Legal Proceedings

INTUNIV patent litigation

  • On September 6, 2012 Shire announced that it had settled all pending litigation with Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Anchen") and TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("TWi") in connection with TWi's Abbreviated New Drug Application for a generic version of INTUNIV. As part of the settlement, Anchen was given a license to make and sell its generic version of INTUNIV from July 1, 2016, or earlier in certain circumstances. Also, Shire may authorize Anchen to sell authorized generic versions of INTUNIV supplied by Shire. This settlement had no effect on the ongoing lawsuit against Actavis and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. ("Teva"), in connection with their attempts to market generic versions of Shire's INTUNIV. A bench trial against Actavis and Teva was held in the US District Court for the District of Delaware from September 17 to September 20, 2012. The post trial briefing of the parties to the judge is scheduled to conclude by November 1, 2012 and no decision has yet been given.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE CHANGES

  • The Board of Directors announces today the retirement in 2013 of Chief Executive Angus Russell after 13 years with the Company and 32 years in the pharmaceutical industry.  Flemming Ornskov MD, MBA, MPH has been appointed to succeed Angus and will join the Shire Board as Chief Executive Designate on January 2, 2013, from Bayer.  A handover period of several months after Flemming joins the Board will see Angus and Flemming working together to ensure a smooth transition before Flemming becomes CEO on April 30, 2013, the date of the Shire Annual General Meeting (see separate press release for more detail).
  • Dr. Steven Gillis, Ph.D. has joined the Board of Directors on October 1, 2012. Dr. Gillis has also been appointed as a member of the Science & Technology Committee and Remuneration Committee with effect from October 1, 2012.

VYVANSE - ADHD

VYVANSE product sales showed strong growth in Q3 2012, up 24% compared to Q3 2011, as a result of higher prescription demand (up 16% compared to Q3 2011) and the effect of a price increase taken since Q3 2011. These positive factors were partially offset by destocking in Q3 2012.

REPLAGAL - Fabry disease

Reported REPLAGAL sales were impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange (amounting to approximately $10 million), primarily due to weaker European currencies in Q3 2012 compared to Q3 2011 and Q2 2012. On a CER basis, sales continued to grow through the treatment of both naïve patients and those switching from FABRAZYME.

ELAPRASE- Hunter syndrome

Reported ELAPRASE sales in Q3 2012 were affected by weaker European currencies (affecting reported product sales by approximately $8 million) and the timing of shipments to markets with large, infrequent orders. This includes Brazil where a large shipment was delayed in Q3 and will now occur in Q4. On a CER basis, ELAPRASE product sales increased and patients on therapy continue to grow across all regions in which ELAPRASE is sold.

LIALDA/MEZAVANT - Ulcerative colitis

Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT increased in Q3 2012 as a result of higher US prescription demand and the effect of a price increase taken since Q3 2011. These positive factors were partially offset by the effect of higher US sales deductions and the effect of lower priced imports into certain European markets.

VPRIV - Gaucher disease

VPRIV product sales growth was driven by the treatment of new patients, being both naïve patients and switches from CEREZYME. Reported VPRIV sales were also impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange (approximately $3 million).

INTUNIV - ADHD

INTUNIV product sales were up 23% in Q3 2012, primarily driven by strong growth in US prescription demand (up 27% compared to Q3 2011), and the effect of price increases taken since Q3 2011. These positive factors were partially offset by higher sales deductions in Q3 2012 compared to Q3 2011.

PENTASA - Ulcerative colitis

PENTASA product sales benefited from price increases taken since Q3 2011 and the effect of destocking in Q3 2011 which was not repeated in Q3 2012. These positive factors were partially offset by higher sales deductions in Q3 2012 as compared to Q3 2011.

FOSRENOL - Hyperphosphatemia

Product sales for FOSRENOL decreased by 6% as lower US prescription demand and higher sales deductions in Q3 2012 offset the effect of a price increase taken since Q3 2011. Product sales of FOSRENOL outside the US were lower than Q3 2011 primarily due to the effect of unfavorable foreign exchange.

DERMAGRAFT - DFU

DERMAGRAFT product sales were down 33% compared to Q3 2011, reflecting the impact of an expected re-engineering of key areas of the Regenerative Medicine business including an ongoing restructuring of the sales and marketing organization and the implementation of a new commercial model, all of which is expected to position DERMAGRAFT for future sales growth.

FIRAZYR - Hereditary Angioedema ("HAE")

FIRAZYR sales continue to grow worldwide primarily driven by the strong launch in the US market. We continue to see new patients starting treatment and high levels of repeat usage by existing patients. The number of new patients and the irregular nature of HAE attacks affects the rate of reorder and explains the variability in results quarter over quarter as seen between Q3 and Q2 2012.

ADDERALL XR - ADHD

ADDERALL XR product sales decreased in Q3 2012 as a result of lower US prescription demand following the introduction of a new generic competitor, higher sales deductions and the effect of higher destocking in Q3 2012 compared to Q3 2011. These negative factors were partially offset by the benefit of a price increase taken since Q3 2011.

Sales deductions in Q3 2012 (63% of gross product sales) were significantly higher than Q3 2011 (47% of gross product sales) as Q3 2011 benefited from a lowering of the estimate of inventory in the US retail pipeline and the related sales deduction reserve.

Royalties from ADDERALL XR in Q3 2012 were significantly impacted by a lower royalty rate payable on sales of authorized generic ADDERALL XR by Impax, following the launch of Actavis' generic version.

Royalty income from 3TC and ZEFFIX continues to be adversely impacted by increased competition from other products and the expiry of patents in certain territories. Also, since Q2 2011 Shire has not recognised royalty income for 3TC and ZEFFIX for certain territories due to a disagreement between GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"), ViiV Healthcare ("ViiV") and Shire about how the relevant royalty rate should be applied given the expiry dates of certain patents. In October 2012 Shire, GSK and ViiV settled this disagreement and in Q4 2012 Shire will recognise one-time royalty income in respect of prior periods of $38 million as a result.

Non GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales increased slightly in Q3 2012 due to lower gross margins from DERMAGRAFT and ADDERALL XR compared with the same period in 2011.

US GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales remained constant as the impact of lower Non GAAP gross margins in Q3 2012 was offset by the fair value adjustment for DERMAGRAFT inventories and costs incurred on the transfer of manufacturing from Owings Mills in Q3 2011 which were not repeated in Q3 2012.

Non GAAP R&D increased by $39.3 million, or 22%, due to our continuing investment in a number of targeted R&D programs including new uses for LDX and our SPD602 program (acquired with FerroKin Biosciences, Inc. ("FerroKin")). On a CER basis Non GAAP R&D increased by approximately 25%, a higher rate of increase than on a reported basis as Q3 2012 benefited from favorable foreign exchange.

US GAAP R&D increased by $23.2 million, or 12%, a lower rate of increase than on a Non GAAP basis as Q3 2011 included certain IPR&D impairment charges not repeated in Q3 2012.

  1. During 2012 Shire amended its Non GAAP policy to exclude costs related to the settlement of litigation, government investigations and other disputes, together with related external legal costs. Non GAAP SG&A in Q3 2011 has not been restated as the amounts incurred in that period were not significant.

Non GAAP SG&A decreased by $20.3 million, or 5%, reflecting our continuing focus on effective cost management. Reported costs also benefited (by 3 percentage points) from the stronger dollar in the quarter.

US GAAP SG&A decreased by $14.7 million, or 3%, a lower rate of decrease than on a Non GAAP basis as a result of higher intangible asset amortization and legal and litigation costs excluded from Non GAAP SG&A.

Interest expense

For the three months to September 30, 2012 Shire incurred interest expense of $9.2 million (Q3 2011: $9.7 million). Interest expense in Q3 2012 principally relates to the coupon on Shire's $1,100 million 2.75% convertible bonds due 2014.

Other income/(expense), net in Q3 2012 included foreign exchange gains, compared to foreign exchange losses in Q3 2011, reflecting volatility in a number of currencies to which Shire has exposure.

Taxation


The effective rate of tax on Non GAAP income in Q3 2012 was 18% (Q3 2011: 25%), and on a US GAAP basis the effective rate of tax was 15% (Q3 2011: 27%). The effective rate of tax in Q3 2012 on both a Non GAAP and US GAAP basis is lower than the same period in 2011 due primarily to favorable changes in profit mix.

THE "SAFEHARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements included herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event such risks or uncertainties materialize, Shire's results could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with: the inherent uncertainty of research, development, approval, reimbursement, manufacturing and commercialization of Shire's Specialty Pharmaceuticals, Human Genetic Therapies and Regenerative Medicine products, as well as the ability to secure new products for commercialization and/or development; government regulation of Shire's products; Shire's ability to manufacture its products in sufficient quantities to meet demand; the impact of competitive therapies on Shire's products; Shire's ability to register, maintain and enforce patents and other intellectual property rights relating to its products; Shire's ability to obtain and maintain government and other third-party reimbursement for its products; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Shire's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non GAAP Measures

This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These measures are referred to as "Non GAAP" measures and include: Non GAAP operating income; Non GAAP net income; Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS; effectivetax rate on Non GAAP income before income taxes and earnings of equity method investees ("Effective tax rate on Non GAAP income"); Non GAAP cost of product sales; Non GAAP research and development; Non GAAP selling, general and administrative; Non GAAP other income/expense; Non GAAP cash generation; Non GAAP free cash flow and Non GAAP net cash/(debt). These Non GAAP measures exclude the effect of certain cash and non-cash items, that Shire's management believes are not related to the core performance of Shire's business.

These Non GAAP financial measures are used by Shire's management to make operating decisions because they facilitate internal comparisons of Shire's performance to historical results and to competitors' results. Shire's Remuneration Committee uses certain key Non GAAP measures when assessing the performance and compensation of employees, including Shire's executive directors.

The Non GAAP measures are presented in this press release as Shire's management believe that they will provide investors with a means of evaluating, and an understanding of how Shire's management evaluates, Shire's performance and results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise apparent on a US GAAP basis, since many non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that Shire's management believe are not indicative of the core performance of the business may not be excluded when preparing financial measures under US GAAP.

These Non GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Where applicable the following items, including their tax effect, have been excluded when calculating Non GAAP earnings for both 2012 and 2011, and from our Outlook:

Amortization and asset impairments:

  • Intangible asset amortization and impairment charges; and
  • Other than temporary impairment of investments.

Acquisitions and integration activities:

  • Up-front payments and milestones in respect of in-licensed and acquired products;
  • Costs associated with acquisitions, including transaction costs, fair value adjustments on contingent consideration and acquired inventory;
  • Costs associated with the integration of companies; and
  • Noncontrolling interests in consolidated variable interest entities.

Divestments, re-organizations and discontinued operations:

  • Gains and losses on the sale of non-core assets;
  • Costs associated with restructuring and re-organization activities;
  • Termination costs; and
  • Income/(losses) from discontinued operations.

Legal and litigation costs:

  • Net legal costs related to the settlement of litigation, government investigations and other disputes (excluding internal legal team costs).

Depreciation, which is included in Cost of product sales, R&D and SG&A costs in our US GAAP results, has been separately disclosed for the presentation of 2011 and 2012 Non GAAP earnings.

Cash generation represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, tax and interest payments.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, but including capital expenditure in the ordinary course of business.

A reconciliation of Non GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure under US GAAP is presented on pages 20 to 24.

Sales growth at CER, which is a Non GAAP measure, is computed by restating 2012 results using average 2011 foreign exchange rates for the relevant period.

Average exchange rates for the nine months to September 30, 2012 were $1.58:£1.00 and $1.29:€1.00 (2011: $1.61:£1.00 and $1.41:€1.00). Average exchange rates for Q3 2012 were $1.58:£1.00 and $1.25:€1.00 (2011: $1.61:£1.00 and $1.41:€1.00).
