(3) RAVICTI and BUPHENYL were acquired on May 7, 2015.

Second-quarter 2015 net sales of $172.8 million increased 161 percent. This was driven by strong growth in each of Horizon's business units: primary care, orphan and specialty, as well as the addition of new medicines to the primary care and orphan business units.
Primary Care Business Unit: Second-quarter DUEXIS sales of $44.2 million increased 148 percent as compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by accelerating prescription growth. In the second quarter, VIMOVO sales were $39.8 million and PENNSAID 2% sales were $29.4 million. Total prescriptions accelerated across all three medicines in the primary care business unit driven by their differentiated clinical benefits, strong sales and marketing execution and increased access to Horizon's Prescriptions-Made-Easy™, or PME, program. Total prescriptions for DUEXIS, VIMOVO and PENNSAID 2% increased 68 percent, 52 percent and 142 percent, respectively, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.
Orphan Business Unit: ACTIMMUNE sales were $25.8 million in the quarter, representing a 4 percent sequential increase versus the first quarter of 2015. The commercial organization continues to drive awareness of ACTIMMUNE with both patients and physicians as new patients continue to be steadily added to the therapy each quarter. The Hyperion acquisition was completed on May 7, 2015, and approximately two months of sales were recorded for RAVICTI and BUPHENYL in the second quarter, which were $19.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
Specialty Business Unit: RAYOS/LODOTRA sales in the second quarter were $10.7 million, increasing 81 percent versus the second quarter of 2014. In April, a comprehensive effort was initiated to provide more patients access to RAYOS through the PME program, which resulted in total prescription growth versus the first quarter of 2015 of nearly 90 percent.

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 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted gross profit and gross profit ratio, adjusted operating and other expenses and adjusted cash from operations, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. Adjustments to Horizon's GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition transaction related expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, 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 believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon's financial 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 2015 financial results and trends. 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. Horizon has not provided reconciliation of an expected adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected, either due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon's stock price on share-based compensation, the variability associated with acquisition related expenses due to timing and other factors.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to Horizon's expected full-year 2015 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on Horizon'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 2015 financial and operating results may differ from its expectations; Horizon Pharma's ability to grow sales and revenues from existing products; the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing from government and third party payers and risks relating to the success of Horizon's Prescriptions-Made-Easy or PME specialty pharmacy program; competition, including potential generic competition; the ability to protect intellectual property and defend patents; regulatory obligations and oversight; and those risks detailed from time-to-time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Horizon's filings and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Horizon Pharma undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation as a result of new information.

(8)	At the time of the Company's acquisition of the rights to VIMOVO, ACTIMMUNE, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL, the Company estimated the fair value of contingent royalties payable to third parties using an income approach under the discounted cash flow method, which included revenue projections and other assumptions the Company made to determine the fair value. If the Company significantly over performs or underperforms against its original revenue projections or it becomes necessary to make changes to assumptions as a result of a triggering event, the Company is required to reassess the fair value of the contingent royalties payable. Any subsequent adjustments to fair value is recorded in the period such adjustment is made as either an increase or decrease to royalties payable, with a corresponding increase or decrease in cost of goods sold, in accordance with established accounting policies.

	During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a charge of $14,277 to cost of goods sold to increase the amount of the contingent royalty liabilities relating to VIMOVO and ACTIMMUNE. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $13,033 to cost of goods sold to increase the amount of the contingent royalty liability relating to VIMOVO.

(10)	Represents depreciation expense related to the Company's property, equipment and leasehold improvements.

(11)	Royalties of $6,840 and $12,036 were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, based on each period's net sales for VIMOVO, ACTIMMUNE, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL, as applicable. Royalties of $2,347 and $5,696 were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, based on each period's net sales for VIMOVO, ACTIMMUNE, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL, as applicable.

(13)	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded non-cash charges related to the increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative associated with its convertible senior notes. The loss on the derivative revaluation was primarily due to an increase in the market value of the Company's common stock. The loss on derivative revaluation was a permanent tax difference and was not deductible for income tax reporting purposes.
