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, the status of Horizon's business fundamentals, expected financial performance in future periods, expected timing of clinical and regulatory events, 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 net sales from existing products; the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing from government and third-party payors and risks relating to the success of Horizon's patient support program; risks associated with clinical development and regulatory approvals; competition, including potential generic competition; the ability to protect intellectual property and defend patents; regulatory obligations and oversight, including any changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which Horizon Pharma operates; 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.

     NOTES FOR CERTAIN INCOME STATEMENT LINE ITEMS - NON-GAAP ADJUSTED
                               (in thousands)

(1)  Expenses, including legal and consulting fees, incurred in connection
     with the Company's acquisitions of Vidara Therapeutics International
     Public Limited Company ("Vidara") and Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc.
     ("Hyperion"), and its proposed acquisition of Depomed Inc. ("Depomed"),
     have been excluded as non-recurring items.

(2)  Intangible amortization expenses are associated with the Company's
     intellectual property rights, developed technology and customer
     relationships of VIMOVO, LODOTRA, RAYOS, ACTIMMUNE, RAVICTI and
     BUPHENYL.

(3)  Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs
     associated with the Company's debt.

(4)  Represents accretion expense associated with the ACTIMMUNE, VIMOVO,
     RAVICTI and BUPHENYL royalties for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 2015, and represents accretion expense associated with
     the ACTIMMUNE and VIMOVO royalties for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 2014.

(5)  In connection with the Hyperion acquisition, the RAVICTI and BUPHENYL
     inventory was stepped up in value to $8,682 and during the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized in cost of
     goods sold $4,140 and $7,481, respectively, of step-up inventory costs
     related to RAVICTI and BUPHENYL inventory sold. In connection with the
     Vidara acquisition, the ACTIMMUNE inventory was stepped up in value to
     $14,218 and during the third quarter of 2014, the Company recognized in
     cost of goods sold $1,540 of step-up inventory costs related to
     ACTIMMUNE. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized in
     cost of goods sold the remaining $3,154 of step-up inventory costs
     related to ACTIMMUNE.

(6)  Represents share-based compensation expense associated with the
     Company's stock option, restricted stock unit, and performance stock
     unit grants to its employees and non-employees, its cash-settled long-
     term incentive program, and its employee stock purchase plan.

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

(8)  Royalties of $8,854 and $20,890 were incurred during the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, based on each period's
     net sales for VIMOVO, ACTIMMUNE, RAVICTI and BUPHENYL. Royalties of
     $6,366 and $12,062 were incurred during the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 2014, respectively, based on each period's net sales for
     VIMOVO and ACTIMMUNE.

(9)  Represents adjustments to convert the income tax expense (benefit) to
     the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash.

(10) The bargain purchase gain of $22,171 was the result of the Vidara
     acquisition. Identifiable assets and liabilities of Vidara, including
     identifiable intangible assets, were recorded based on their estimated
     fair values as of the date of the closing of the acquisition. The
     excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the value of
     consideration was recorded as a bargain purchase gain.

(11) During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss
     on induced debt conversions of $77,624, which represented an early
     redemption payment of $45,366, the write-down of $21,581 in debt
     discount and deferred financing costs, $10,005 in additional exchange
     consideration to debt holders and $672 in expenses incurred in
     connection with the induced debt conversions. Following these induced
     debt conversions in the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no
     convertible senior notes remaining outstanding.

(12) 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.

(13) During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded non-
     cash charges of $214,995 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. On June 27, 2014, the
     derivative liability was re-measured to a final fair value and the
     entire fair value of the derivative liability of $324,405 was
     reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As such, there was no
     derivative revaluation subsequent to June 2014.
