In our Developed Markets segment, we focus most of our efforts in the eye health, dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. In the Emerging Market segment, we focus primarily on branded generics, OTC products and medical devices. We are diverse not only in our sources of revenue from our drug and medical devices portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and areas we serve. Valeant’s strategy is to focus our business on core geographies and therapeutic classes that offer attractive growth opportunities while maintaining our lower selling, general and administrative cost model and decentralized operating structure. We have an established portfolio of durable products with a focus on eye health and dermatology. Another critical element of our strategy is business development. We have completed numerous transactions over the past few years to expand our portfolio offering and geographic footprint including, among others, the acquisition of Bausch + Lomb. We will continue to pursue value-added business development opportunities as they arise. The growth of our business is further augmented through our lower risk, output-focused research and development model, which allows us to advance promising developmental programs to drive future commercial growth. Valeant’s strategic markets are primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Russia, Africa and Asia Pacific. Headquartered in Laval, Quebec, Valeant has approximately 17,000 employees worldwide.

THE RIGHT PRODUCTS. THE RIGHT PHILOSOPHY. RECORD ORGANIC GROWTH. 1 VALEANT LATE-STAGE PIPELINE Valeant runs a lean R&D model focused on productivity – outputs measured against inputs – and spend based on the promise of a program for the short- and long-term. Leveraging industry overcapacity, outsourcing commodity services and focusing on the critical skills and capabilities needed to bring new technologies to market, the results of this approach are a rich pipeline of products for the future sourced from inside, acquisitions and in-licensing.

Each has demonstrated positive clinical results and is scheduled to meet regulatory milestones in 2015, with commercial launches expected in 2016. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of preventable blindness in the world and clinical data has shown that VESNEO™ can effectively lower intraocular pressure (IOP) which is critical in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Reducing IOP may prevent the progression of glaucoma in early and late stages of the disease. VESNEO™ is expected to have peak sales potential of approximately $500 million in the U.S. and $1 billion globally. A New Drug Application will be filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2015. Valeant expects to file a New Drug Application with the FDA sometime in the second half of 2015 for Lotemax® Gel Next Generation 0.38% (sub-micron gel formulation of loteprednol etabonate) which, if approved, would be the first twice-daily ophthalmic steroid available for eliminating inflammation and post-operative pain following ophthalmic surgeries. Lotemax® Gel Next Generation is a new formulation – a lower concentration – of Valeant’s currently marketed ophthalmic products Lotemax® and Lotemax® Gel. It will also require less dosing than the current formulation. The third compound, low-dose Brimonidine, is an over-the-counter eye-whitening product for relieving ocular redness or hyperemia, which can be triggered by a variety of factors, including contact lens wear, dry eye or ocular allergies, among others.
