   Shire Delivers Product Sales Growth of 6% and Continues to Execute 
Against Key Priorities in Q3 2018 
 
 
 
   Delivered product sales of $3.8 billion; growth driven by Immunology, 
recently-launched products, and international expansion 
 
 
 
   Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada approval 
for TAKHZYRO (lanadelumab-flyo) and launched in the U.S. 
 
 
 
   Accelerated debt pay-down through proceeds from the $2.4 billion sale of 
the Oncology franchise and strong net operating cash flow 
 
 
 
   November 1, 2018 -- Shire plc (Shire) (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPG), the 
leading global biotech company focused on rare diseases, announces 
unaudited results for the three months ended September 30, 2018. 
 
 
 
   Flemming Ornskov, M.D., M.P.H., Shire Chief Executive Officer, 
commented: 
 
 
 
   "We continue to deliver solid growth and pay down our debt while 
advancing our late-stage pipeline. Our focus on commercial execution led 
to 6% growth in product sales to $3.8 billion in the third quarter 
overcoming foreign exchange headwinds. Our growth was once again driven 
by our Immunology franchise, recently-launched products, and expansion 
in international markets. Proceeds from the sale of our Oncology 
franchise coupled with strong free cash flow allowed us to reduce net 
debt by $3.9 billion year to date. 
 
 
 
   "We recently launched TAKHZYRO, the first monoclonal antibody to prevent 
hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, in the U.S. We also gained approval 
for this innovative treatment in Canada and received a positive opinion 
from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) 
recommending marketing authorization in Europe. 
 
 
 
   "Takeda's proposed acquisition of Shire remains on track to close in H1 
2019, subject to shareholder approval of both companies and additional 
regulatory approvals. While integration planning is ongoing, our solid 
performance through the third quarter of 2018 demonstrates our continued 
focus on delivering for patients and executing against our key 
priorities."

   Product sales growth 
 
 
   -- All franchises demonstrated product sales growth on a Non GAAP constant 
      exchange rate basis, excluding Oncology which was sold during the 
      quarter. 
 
   -- Encouraging early trajectory of TAKHZYRO since U.S. launch on August 23, 
      2018 with $51 million in initial launch stocking. 
 
   -- Growth of recently-launched products of 45%, primarily due to TAKHZYRO, 
      ADYNOVATE, CUVITRU, and XIIDRA. 
 
 
 
 
   Operating performance 
 
 
   -- Generated Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS of $3.64, a decrease of 4%, 
      as product sales growth and operating expense discipline were offset by 
      unfavorable foreign exchange, lower gross margins, and unrealized losses 
      on equity investments. 
 
   -- Reported Non GAAP EBITDA margin of 42%, a slight decline from Q3 2017, 
      primarily due to lower gross margins, as Q3 2017 reflected favorability 
      from the timing of changes in the costs to manufacture certain products, 
      partially offset by ongoing cost discipline and operating expense 
      synergies. 
 
 
 
 
   Cash flow 
 
 
   -- Proceeds from the sale of our Oncology franchise and strong free cash 
      flow during the year enabled a $3,915 million reduction in Non GAAP net 
      debt since December 31, 2017. 
 
 
 
   FINANCIAL SUMMARY - THIRD QUARTER 2018 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2017 
 
 
 
   Revenues 
 
 
   -- Delivered total revenues of $3,872 million representing growth of 5%. 
 
   -- Product sales increased 6% to $3,753 million (Q3 2017: $3,534 million), 
      driven by Immunology, up 12%, Neuroscience, up 6%, Genetic Diseases, up 
      6%, Internal Medicine, up 10%, and Ophthalmics, up 21%. 
 
   -- Royalties and other revenues decreased 27% to $119 million (Q3 2017: $164 
      million), primarily due to certain royalty expirations, the 
      reclassification of ADDERALL XR from royalty revenue to product sales, 
      and other changes as required under the new revenue accounting standard. 
 
 
 
 
   Operating results 
 
 
   -- Operating income increased 35% to $956 million (Q3 2017: $709 million), 
      due to the gain on the sale of Shire's Oncology franchise and lower 
      integration and acquisition costs, partially offset by increased 
      reorganization costs. 
 
   -- Non GAAP operating income decreased 2% to $1,475 million (Q3 2017: $1,498 
      million), primarily due to lower gross margins as Q3 2017 reflected 
      favorability from the timing of changes in the costs to manufacture 
      certain products. 
 
   -- Non GAAP EBITDA margin was slightly down to 42% (Q3 2017: 44%), primarily 
      due to lower gross margins partially offset by ongoing cost discipline 
      and operating expense synergies. 
 
 
 
 
   Earnings per share (EPS) 
 
 
   -- Diluted earnings per American Depository Share (ADS) decreased 3% to 
      $1.75 (Q3 2017: $1.81), primarily due to increased reorganization costs 
      and income taxes, offset by the gain on the sale of Shire's Oncology 
      franchise. 
 
   -- Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS decreased 4% to $3.64 (Q3 2017: $3.81) 
      as product sales growth and operating expense discipline were offset by 
      unfavorable foreign exchange, lower gross margins, and unrealized losses 
      on equity investments. 
 
 
   Cash flows 
 
 
   -- Net cash provided by operating activities decreased 19% to $858 million 
      (Q3 2017: $1,055 million), driven by a $251 million contingent 
      consideration payment to former shareholders of Dyax Corp. due to the 
      approval of TAKHZYRO. 
 
   -- Non GAAP free cash flow increased 8% to $971 million (Q3 2017: $901 
      million). Non GAAP free cash flow includes capital expenditures of $203 
      million (Q3 2017: $174 million) and excludes payments relating to 
      milestone and license arrangements of $316 million (Q3 2017: $20 
      million). 
 
 
 
 
   Debt 
 
 
   -- Non GAAP net debt as of September 30, 2018 decreased $3,915 million since 
      December 31, 2017, to $15,154 million (December 31, 2017: $19,069 
      million). A combination of proceeds from the sale of Shire's Oncology 
      franchise, Non GAAP free cash flow, and existing cash balances were 
      utilized to repay debt during the year. Non GAAP net debt represents 
      aggregate long and short term borrowings of $14,980 million, and capital 
      leases of $367 million, partially offset by cash and cash equivalents of 
      $193 million. 
 
 
 
   OUTLOOK 
 
 
 
   Our 2018 guidance, presented in the table below, has been updated to 
adjust for the sale of our Oncology franchise, which closed on August 
31, 2018. Similarly, our projected 2020 revenue target has been updated 
to $16.5 - $17.5 billion, reflecting the removal of $0.5 billion of 
Oncology sales in our original projection. We continue to expect to 
achieve mid-forties Non GAAP EBITDA margin by 2020, which remains 
unchanged after considering the impact of the sale of our Oncology 
franchise. 
 
 
 
   Our Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS outlook assumes a weighted average 
number of 917 million fully diluted ordinary shares outstanding for 
2018. 
 
 
 
   Our U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per ADS outlook reflects anticipated 
amortization, integration, acquisition, and reorganization costs, as 
well as the gain on sale of our Oncology franchise and the impact from 
debt repurchase. 
 
 
 
   Risks associated with this outlook include the potential uncertainty 
resulting from the announcement by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited 
(Takeda) on May 8, 2018 of a recommended offer for Shire under the U.K. 
Takeover Code.

   Immunology 
 
   Immunology product sales were $1,197 million in Q3 2018. Immunoglobulin 
therapies and bio therapeutics were each up 8% mainly due to increased 
demand. HAE product sales were up 23%, which included $51 million of 
TAKHZYRO product sales for initial launch stocking. HAE product sales 
also reflected higher CINRYZE product sales as Q3 2017 included the 
impact of supply constraints, offset by destocking of FIRAZYR. 
 
 
 
   Hematology 
 
   Hematology product sales were $905 million in Q3 2018. Sales of 
inhibitor therapies declined 11% due to new competition, while sales of 
hemophilia therapies increased by 1% with continued growth of our 
extended half-life product, ADYNOVATE. 
 
 
 
   Neuroscience 
 
   Neuroscience product sales were $732 million in Q3 2018. VYVANSE product 
sales increased 11% due to a U.S. price increase and continued growth in 
our international markets. 
 
 
 
   Genetic Diseases 
 
   Genetic Diseases product sales increased 6% to $381 million, driven by 
increased sales for ELAPRASE and REPLAGAL primarily in our international 
markets. 
 
 
 
   Established Brands 
 
   Established Brands products sales increased 14% to $217 million, with 
the impact of generic competition offset by favorable sales deductions 
and some stocking for LIALDA in Q3 2018 compared to Q3 2017. 
 
 
 
   Internal Medicine 
 
   Internal Medicine product sales increased 10% to $177 million, driven by 
demand growth for GATTEX/REVESTIVE and NATPARA/NATPAR. 
 
 
 
   Ophthalmics 
 
   Ophthalmics product sales increased 21% to $93 million due to XIIDRA 
demand growth. 
 
 
 
   Oncology 
 
   As a result of the sale of Shire's Oncology franchise, completed on 
August 31, 2018, Oncology product sales decreased to $51 million from 
$69 million in Q3 2017.

   Royalties and other revenues decreased 27%, primarily due to certain 
royalty expirations, the reclassification of ADDERALL XR from royalty 
revenue to product sales, and other changes as required under the new 
revenue accounting standard.

   Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues increased by 3 
percentage points to 30%, primarily due to lower gross margins as Q3 
2017 reflected favorability from the timing of changes in the costs to 
manufacture certain products.

   R&D increased $4 million, or 1%, primarily due to continued investment 
in late stage and launch programs offset by savings on discontinued 
programs. R&D as a percentage of total revenues remained consistent with 
Q3 2017. 
 
 
 
   Non GAAP R&D was flat. Non GAAP R&D as a percentage of total revenues

   SG&A decreased $23 million, or 3%, primarily due to the benefits of 
on-going cost discipline and operating synergies partially offset by 
increased depreciation. 
 
 
 
   Non GAAP SG&A decreased by $40 million, or 5%, due to the benefits of 
on-going cost discipline and operating synergies. 
 
 
 
   Amortization of acquired intangible assets 
 
 
 
   In Q3 2018, Shire recorded amortization of acquired intangible assets of 
$434 million (Q3 2017: $482 million). The decrease was primarily related 
to amortization for CINRYZE and the sale of Oncology assets, including 
ONCASPAR and ONIVYDE, partially offset by amortization for TAKHZYRO, 
which was approved in Q3 2018. 
 
 
 
   Integration and acquisition costs 
 
 
 
   In Q3 2018, Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $93 
million, primarily related to changes in fair value of contingent 
consideration and costs related to the proposed Takeda transaction. 
 
 
 
   In Q3 2017, Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $237 
million, primarily related to the Baxalta transaction. Costs included 
asset impairment charges, employee severance, the acceleration of stock 
compensation, third-party professional fees, and expenses associated 
with facility consolidations. 
 
 
 
   Reorganization costs 
 
 
 
   In Q3 2018, Shire recorded reorganization costs of $255 million, 
primarily related to expenses associated with office facility closures. 
In Q3 2017, Shire recorded reorganization costs of $5 million. 
 
 
 
   Gain/loss on sale of Oncology and product rights 
 
 
 
   In Q3 2018, Shire recorded a gain from the sale of its Oncology 
franchise of $267 million. In Q3 2017, Shire recorded a loss on sale of 
product rights of less than $1 million.

   The effective tax rate on U.S. GAAP income in Q3 2018 was 28% (Q3 2017: 
2%) and on a Non GAAP basis was 15% (Q3 2017: 15%). 
 
 
 
   The effective rate in Q3 2018 on U.S. GAAP income from continuing 
operations has been affected by certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts 
and Jobs Act (Tax Act) passed in December 2017. 
 
 
 
   Income tax expense was increased by $60 million during the three months 
ended September 30, 2018 due to continued refinement of Shire's 
provisional computations under the Tax Act. The increase in the tax 
expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 
due to 1) an adjustment to U.S. deferred tax balances recorded as of 
December 31, 2017 related to the corporate income tax rate reduction of 
$15 million; and 2) an increase of $45 million related to the 
repatriation toll charge. The change in the toll charge was partially 
driven by an adjustment of $31 million related to the tax rates applied 
to certain drivers of the provisional repatriation toll charge in 2017, 
as well as the finalization of inputs to the calculation of the 
repatriation toll charge and the refinement of Shire's computation for 
the various guidance and regulations issued during 2018. 
 
 
 
   Shire will continue to assess the financial statement impact of the 
applicable provisions of the Tax Act upon enactment. It is expected that 
additional interpretive guidance will be issued during the measurement 
period that may change how Shire has computed the provisional amounts 
for the year ended December 31, 2017. Consequently, Shire continues to 
assert that all amounts recorded and disclosed to date remain 
provisional.

   THE "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION 
REFORM ACT OF 1995 
 
 
 
   Statements included herein that are not historical facts, including 
without limitation statements concerning future strategy, plans, 
objectives, expectations and intentions, projected revenues, the 
anticipated timing of clinical trials and approvals for, and the 
commercial potential of, inline or pipeline products, 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, the following: 
 
 
 
   --  Shire's products may not be a commercial success; 
 
   --  increased pricing pressures and limits on patient access as a result 
of governmental regulations and market developments may affect Shire's 
future revenues, financial condition and results of operations; 
 
   --  Shire depends on third parties to supply certain inputs and services 
critical to its operations including certain inputs, services and 
ingredients critical to its manufacturing processes. Any disruption to 
the supply chain for any of Shire's products may result in Shire being 
unable to continue marketing or developing a product or may result in 
Shire being unable to do so on a commercially viable basis for some 
period of time; 
 
   --  the manufacture of Shire's products is subject to extensive 
oversight by various regulatory agencies. Regulatory approvals or 
interventions associated with changes to manufacturing sites, 
ingredients or manufacturing processes could lead to, among other things, 
significant delays, an increase in operating costs, lost product sales, 
an interruption of research activities or the delay of new product 
launches; 
 
   --  the nature of producing plasma-based therapies may prevent Shire 
from timely responding to market forces and effectively managing its 
production capacity; 
 
   --  Shire has a portfolio of products in various stages of research and 
development. The successful development of these products is highly 
uncertain and requires significant expenditures and time, and there is 
no guarantee that these products will receive regulatory approval; 
 
   --  the actions of certain customers could affect Shire's ability to 
sell or market products profitably. Fluctuations in buying or 
distribution patterns by such customers can adversely affect Shire's 
revenues, financial conditions or results of operations; 
 
   --   failure to comply with laws and regulations governing the sales and 
marketing of its products could materially impact Shire's revenues and 
profitability; 
 
   --  Shire's products and product candidates face substantial competition 
in the product markets in which it operates, including competition from 
generics; 
 
   --   Shire's patented products are subject to significant competition 
from generics; 
 
   --  adverse outcomes in legal matters, tax audits and other disputes, 
including Shire's ability to enforce and defend patents and other 
intellectual property rights required for its business, could have a 
material adverse effect on Shire's revenues, financial condition or 
results of operations; 
 
   --   Shire may fail to obtain, maintain, enforce or defend the 
intellectual property rights required to conduct its business; 
 
   --  Shire faces intense competition for highly qualified personnel from 
other companies and organizations; 
 
   --  failure to successfully execute or attain strategic objectives from 
Shire's acquisitions and growth strategy may adversely affect Shire's 
financial condition and results of operations; 
 
   --  Shire's growth strategy depends in part upon its ability to expand 
its product portfolio through external collaborations, which, if 
unsuccessful, may adversely affect the development and sale of its 
products; 
 
   --  a slowdown of global economic growth, or economic instability of 
countries in which Shire does business, could have negative consequences 
for Shire's business and increase the risk of non-payment by Shire's 
customers; 
 
   --   changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates could 
have a material adverse effect on Shire's operating results and 
liquidity; 
 
   --  Shire is subject to evolving and complex tax laws, which may result 
in additional liabilities that may adversely affect Shire's financial 
condition or results of operations; 
 
   --  if a marketed product fails to work effectively or causes adverse 
side effects, this could result in damage to Shire's reputation, the 
withdrawal of the product and legal action against Shire; 
 
   --  Shire is dependent on information technology and its systems and 
infrastructure face certain risks, including from service disruptions, 
the loss of sensitive or confidential information, cyber-attacks and 
other security breaches or data leakages that could have a material 
adverse effect on Shire's revenues, financial condition or results of 
operations; 
 
   --   Shire faces risks relating to the expected exit of the United 
Kingdom from the European Union; 
 
   --  Shire incurred substantial additional indebtedness to finance the 
Baxalta acquisition, which has increased its borrowing costs and may 
decrease its business flexibility; 
 
   --  the potential uncertainty among our employees, customers, suppliers, 
and other business partners resulting from the announcement by Takeda 
Pharmaceutical Company Limited on May 8, 2018 of a recommended offer for 
Shire under the U.K. Takeover Code; and 
 
 
 
   a further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters 
can be found in Shire's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in 
Shire's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in each case 
including those risks outlined in "ITEM 1A: Risk Factors", and in 
subsequent reports on Form 8-K and other Securities and Exchange 
Commission filings, all of which are available on Shire's website. 
 
 
 
   All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting 
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this 
cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance 
on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date 
hereof. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, we do 
not undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking 
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or 
otherwise. 
 
 
 
   PROFIT FORECASTS 
 
 
 
   On February 14, 2018, Shire published its full year 2018 outlook for 
total revenue of $15.4 -- $15.9 billion, GAAP diluted EPS of $7.30 -- 
$7.90, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $14.90 -- $15.50 (the "Full Year 2018 
Outlook"). Shire also announced "We are committed to achieving our 
projected revenue target of $17 -- $18 billion in 2020" and "With the 
already disclosed manufacturing and SG&A cost reduction initiatives, we 
are on track to achieve mid-forties Non-GAAP EBITDA margin by 2020" (the 
"Mid-Term Outlook"). 
 
 
 
   Both the Full Year 2018 Outlook and the Mid-Term Outlook comprised all 
Shire franchises, including Oncology. Earlier in the year, Shire 
announced that it had entered into an agreement with Servier for the 
sale of its Oncology franchise for $2.4 billion as part of its strategy 
to unlock value and sharpen its focus on rare disease leadership. The 
transaction closed on August 31, 2018. The U.S. GAAP Full Year 2018 
Outlook has also been updated for the gain from the sale of the Oncology 
franchise, bond retirement with the proceeds of the sale and resulting 
interest reduction, and reorganization costs. Accordingly, the Full Year 
2018 Outlook and the Mid-Term Outlook are no longer valid and Shire has 
updated the Full Year 2018 Outlook and the Mid-Term Outlook to adjust 
for the sale of the Oncology franchise as follows: 
 
 
 
   Full Year 2018 Outlook 
 
 
 
   Full year 2018 U.S. GAAP outlook for total revenue is expected to be 
$15.3 -- $15.8 billion and diluted earnings per ADS is expected to be 
$7.17 -- $7.77. 
 
 
 
   Full year 2018 Non GAAP outlook for total revenue is expected to be 
$15.3 -- $15.8 billion and diluted earnings per ADS is expected to be 
$14.77 -- $15.37. 
 
 
 
   Mid-Term Outlook 
 
 
 
   "Our projected 2020 revenue target has been updated to $16.5 -- $17.5 
billion." 
 
 
 
   "We continue to expect to achieve mid-forties Non GAAP EBITDA margin by 
2020." 
 
 
 
   Assumptions and basis of preparation 
 
 
 
   The Full Year 2018 Outlook and the Mid-Term Outlook (as updated) (the 
"Profit Forecasts") include "profit forecasts" for the purposes of Rule 
28 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"). 
 
 
 
   In accordance with Rule 28.1(c) of the Code, the directors of Shire 
confirm that: (i) the basis of accounting used to prepare the Profit 
Forecasts is consistent with the accounting policies of Shire (or in the 
case of the Non GAAP Profit Forecasts, or in the case of the Non GAAP 
guidance, as adjusted in accordance with Shire's established Non GAAP 
policy, which excludes the items set out on pages 27 -- 28 in the 
section "Non GAAP measures", including their tax effect); and (ii) each 
of the Profit Forecasts has been properly compiled on the basis of the 
following assumptions: 
 
 
 
 
 
   Assumptions outside the Directors' control 
 
 
 
 
   -- the Profit Forecasts exclude any future effect resulting from the 
      announcement by Takeda on May 8, 2018 of a recommended offer for Shire 
      under the Code; 
 
   -- there will be no material change to existing global macroeconomic and 
      political conditions during the year ending December 31, 2018; 
 
   -- there will be no material changes in market conditions within the 
      pharmaceutical industry over the forecast period to December 31, 2018, in 
      relation to either customer demand or the competitive environment which 
      could impact Shire's products; 
 
   -- there will be no product shortages caused by unanticipated production 
      issues, such as contamination, which could result in prolonged supply 
      shortages; 
 
   -- there will be no material changes to Shire's obligations to customers or 
      governments, its ability to negotiate new business, resolve contract 
      disputes, or the retention of key management; 
 
   -- the Euro, British Pound, and Swiss Franc and other exchange rates against 
      the U.S. dollar, together with inflation, tax, and interest rates in 
      Shire's principal markets, will remain relatively unchanged from the 
      rates underpinning the Profit Forecasts; 
 
   -- there will be no material adverse events that will have a significant 
      impact on Shire's financial position or performance; 
 
   -- there will be no material change in legislation, regulatory requirements, 
      or the position of any regulatory bodies impacting Shire's operations or 
      its accounting and tax conclusions, policies, and procedures; 
 
   -- there will be no significant increases or decreases in the value of 
      publicly-held investments resulting in recognition of material gains or 
      losses; and 
 
   -- there will be no material change in tax law and practice, including 
      interpretive guidance issued by the IRS with respect to U.S. tax reform, 
      impacting Shire's operations and the jurisdictions in which it earns 
      significant amounts of income, whether earned from third parties or from 
      intercompany transactions. 
 
 
 
 
   Assumptions within the Directors' control 
 
 
   -- there will be no material change in the present management of Shire or 
      its existing operational strategy prior to the closing of the recommended 
      offer by Takeda announced on May 8, 2018; 
 
   -- there will be no material future acquisitions, disposals, or licensing 
      arrangements; 
 
   -- there will be no material change in the debt structure of the Shire Group, 
      other than planned repayments of existing borrowings; 
 
   -- there will be no material change to the number of diluted shares in 
      issue; and 
 
   -- Shire's accounting and tax policies, including those related to 
      determining Shire's effective tax rate, will be consistently applied in 
      the financial year to December 31, 2018. 
 
 
 
 
   NON GAAP MEASURES 
 
 
 
   This press release contains financial measures not prepared in 
accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are referred to as "Non GAAP" 
measures and include: Non GAAP total revenues; Non GAAP operating 
income; Non GAAP income tax expense; Non GAAP net income; Non GAAP 
diluted earnings per ADS; Non GAAP effective tax rate; Non GAAP CER; Non 
GAAP cost of sales; Non GAAP gross margin; Non GAAP R&D; Non GAAP SG&A; 
Non GAAP other expense, net; Non GAAP tax adjustments; Non GAAP free 
cash flow; Non GAAP net debt; Non GAAP EBITDA; and Non GAAP EBITDA 
margin. 
 
 
 
   The Non GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain specified items that 
are highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that may 
substantially impact Shire's operations. Upfront and milestone payments 
related to in-licensing and acquired products that have been expensed as 
R&D are also excluded as specified items as they are generally uncertain 
and often result in a different payment and expense recognition pattern 
than ongoing internal R&D activities. Intangible asset amortization has 
been excluded from certain measures to facilitate an evaluation of 
current and past operating performance, particularly in terms of cash 
returns, and is similar to how management internally assesses 
performance. The Non GAAP financial measures are presented in this press 
release as Shire's management believes that they will provide investors 
with an additional analysis of Shire's results of operations, 
particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. 
 
 
 
   Shire's management uses Non GAAP financial measures to make operating 
decisions as they facilitate additional internal comparisons of Shire's 
performance to historical results and to competitors' results, and 
provides them to investors as a supplement to Shire's reported results 
to provide additional insight into Shire's operating performance. 
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 financial measures used by Shire may be calculated 
differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly 
titled measures used by other companies - refer to the section "Non GAAP 
Financial Measure Descriptions" below for additional information. In 
addition, these Non GAAP financial measures should not be considered in 
isolation as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial measures 
calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and Shire's financial results 
calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations to those 
financial statements should be carefully evaluated. 
 
 
 
   Non GAAP Financial Measure Descriptions 
 
 
 
   Where applicable, the following items, including their tax effect, have 
been excluded when calculating Non GAAP earnings and from our Non GAAP 
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 
 
   -- Non-controlling interests in consolidated variable interest entities. 
 
 
 
 
   Out-license, divestments, reorganizations, and discontinued operations: 
 
 
   -- Revenue from up-front and milestone receipts from out-license 
      arrangements; 
 
   -- Gains and losses on the sale of non-core assets; 
 
   -- Costs associated with restructuring and reorganization activities; 
 
   -- Termination costs; and 
 
   -- Gains and losses from divestitures and 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). 
 
 
 
 
   Additionally, in any given period Shire may have significant, unusual, 
or non-recurring gains or losses, which it may exclude from its Non GAAP 
earnings for that period. When applicable, these items would be fully 
disclosed and incorporated into the required reconciliations from U.S. 
GAAP to Non GAAP measures. 
 
 
 
   Depreciation, which is included in Cost of sales, R&D, and SG&A costs in 
our U.S. GAAP results, has been separately disclosed for presentational 
purposes. 
 
 
 
   Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, 
excluding up-front and milestone payments, or receipts, for in-licensed 
and acquired products, but including capital expenditure in the ordinary 
course of business. 
 
 
 
   Non GAAP net debt represents cash and cash equivalents less short and 
long term borrowings, capital leases, and other debt. 
 
 
 
   A reconciliation of Non GAAP financial measures to the most directly 
comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is presented on pages 19 to 22. 
 
 
 
   Non GAAP CER growth is computed by restating 2018 results using average 
2017 foreign exchange rates for the relevant period. 
 
 
 
   Average exchange rates used by Shire for the three months ended 
September 30, 2018 were $1.31:GBP1.00 and $1.17:EUR1.00 (2017: 
$1.31:GBP1.00 and $1.17:EUR1.00). 
 
 
 
   A reconciliation of 2020 Non GAAP EBITDA margin to U.S. GAAP net income 
margin cannot be provided because we are unable to forecast with 
reasonable certainty many of the items necessary to calculate such 
comparable GAAP measures, including asset impairments, acquisitions and 
integration related expenses, divestments, reorganizations and 
discontinued operations related expenses, legal settlement costs, as 
well as other unusual or non-recurring gains or losses. These items are 
uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our 
results computed in accordance with GAAP. We believe the inherent 
uncertainties in reconciling Non GAAP measures for periods after 2018 to 
the most comparable GAAP measures would make the forecasted comparable 
GAAP measures nearly impossible to predict with reasonable certainty and 
therefore inherently unreliable.
