Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Valeant Inc Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Valeant Gathering Momentum Company Overview Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE/TSX:VRX) is a multinational specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and markets prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products that make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. Valeant’s primary focus is principally in the areas of dermatology and neurology. The Company’s growth strategy is to acquire, develop and commercialize new products through strategic partnerships, and build on the company’s strength in dermatology and neurology. Valeant plans to strategically expand its pipeline by adding new compounds or products through product or company acquisitions and will maximize its pipeline through strategic partnering to optimize its research and development assets and strengthen ongoing internal development capabilities. Valeant’s strategic markets are primarily in the United States, Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Australia and South East Asia. Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Valeant has approximately 7,000 employees worldwide. FORWARD-LOOKING Statements In addition to current and historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our strategy, expected future revenue, the prospects for approval of product candidates and the timing of regulatory approvals, and the growth and future development of the company, its business units and its products. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue” or similar language identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties discussed in our most recent annual or quarterly report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators, which factors are incorporated herein by reference. You should consider these in evaluating our prospects and future financial performance. The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after this report or to reflect actual outcomes. NON-GAAP Information To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items, such as amor- tization of inventory step-up, stock-based compensation step-up, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), legal settlements, amortization and other non-cash charges, amortization of deferred financing costs, debt discounts and ASC 470-20 (FSP APB 14-1) interest, loss on extinguishment of debt, and (gain) loss on investments, net, and adjusts tax expense to cash taxes. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the company’s core operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in our quarterly financial press tables and can be found under the Investor Relations section at www.valeant.com. Gathering Momentum As each year passes we gain momentum. Valeant continues to leverage its core strengths with creativity, speed, resourcefulness and entrepreneurship in order to deliver high value to our shareholders. 1 Valeant has gathered a diverse portfolio of over a thousand products. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Gathering Momentum Over the Counter 13% Branded Generics 22% Prescription Brands 65% Revenue Diversity At Valeant, we strive to achieve a balanced and diversified portfolio of prescription brands, branded generics and over-the-counter (OTC) products in niche categories and making them available to patients across an array of geographies including the U.S., Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, South East Asia and South Africa. We continue to seek high-growth opportunities where we believe we will have a competitive advantage, while avoiding markets where growth and profitability is limited. Our success is measured through the returns on investments we deliver to our shareholders. 3 Gathering Momentum South East Asia / South Africa 9% Latin America 31% Central and Eastern Europe 60% Emerging Markets Although our operating philosophy is purposefully international, it is not global. Our Emerging Markets segment includes our historical businesses in Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America, primarily in Mexico and Brazil, with new marketing opportunities recently acquired in South East Asia, South Africa and Russia. Traditionally, most of the larger pharmaceutical companies do not focus on these regions, but at Valeant we believe our investments in these territories will continue to yield high growth through the application of our successful business model. 4 Our progress takes us into select emerging markets throughout the world. Our momentum continues as we look to build out new growth platforms. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Gathering Momentum Oral Health Podiatry Aesthetics Ophthalmology South East Asia South Africa Russia New Growth Platforms At Valeant, we are constantly seeking out new and unique opportunities in a variety of therapeutic classes and geographic locations in order to deliver much-needed therapies designed to help improve the lives of our patients while consistently delivering high rewards to our investors. In 2012 we established new geographic growth platforms in South East Asia, South Africa and Russia, and pursued new therapeutic platforms in oral health, podiatry, and aesthetics. We believe our approach will help us succeed quickly in these areas and will lead to greater growth for Valeant in the years to come. 7 Letter To Shareholders Dear Shareholder; Thank you for your investment in Valeant Pharmaceuticals We continue to build on these aspirations and expect to continue International, Inc.

  • Combination Medications
    Combination Medications WHAT ARE COMBINATION MEDICATIONS? Combination medications are pills, tablets, or injections that contain more than one medication to treat HIV. They are listed in the tables below. Pharmaceutical companies have been working hard to make their medications easier to take. Part of this effort has been to combine more than one medication into a single pill. These combinations are referred to as fixed-dose combinations (FDCs). Combinationantiretroviral therapy (ART), sometimes called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), has revolutionized the management of HIV infection and rendered it a chronic manageable disease. The first FDC to treat HIV wasCombivir , manufactured by ViiV Healthcare. Combivir contains two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs): lamivudine and zidovudine. This was followed byTrizivir , also manufactured by ViiV Healthcare. Trizivir includes three NRTIs:abacavir , lamivudine, and zidovudine. Both Combivir and Trizivir are no longer widely used in the U.S. due to the frequency and severity of side effects. Be sure that you do not take a combination medication along with any of its components!For example, do not take Truvada (which contains emtricitabine and tenofovir DF) with tenofovir DF (Viread) or emtricitabine (Emtriva). Your healthcare provider will help you decide which HAART regimen is best for you; take your medications exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.

  • Big Pharma Freshens Up
    April 09, 2021 Big pharma freshens up Amy Brown Reliance on established drugs lessened for most large drug makers last year, but staleness is creeping in at Merck and Bristol. All successful drug franchises must one day fade – the challenge comes in finding replacements. It is encouraging therefore to see that almost all major developers improved on the sales freshness index last year, versus 2019, with a couple of notable exceptions. This percentage measure is derived from the proportion of a company’s prescription drug sales that come from products more than 10 years old. Scores range widely within the cohort, showing that some groups have much more work to do than others. Take Abbvie, with 74% of 2020’s drug sales derived from drugs at least a decade old, compared with a much fresher Astrazeneca, at 44%. Abbvie is still very reliant on its mega-blockbuster Humira – the autoimmune antibody contributed 44% of the company’s drugs sales last year – and the big pharma group’s freshness score has not shifted from 2019, when Evaluate Vantage last ran these numbers (Sanofi's geriatric pipeline fails to freshen up, January 22, 2020). Astrazeneca was at the other end of the scale last time and its performance improved again in 2020. The previous laggard Sanofi, meanwhile, has the huge success of Dupixent to thank for its big shift towards the fresher end of the group. The French company’s departure from the top of the table leaves Abbvie, Pfizer and Roche as the stalest big pharma groups, and arguably under the most pressure to find new sales sources.

  • FDA Listing of Authorized Generics As of July 1, 2021
    FDA Listing of Authorized Generics as of July 1, 2021 Note: This list of authorized generic drugs (AGs) was created from a manual review of FDA’s database of annual reports submitted to the FDA since January 1, 1999 by sponsors of new drug applications (NDAs). Because the annual reports seldom indicate the date an AG initially entered the market, the column headed “Date Authorized Generic Entered Market” reflects the period covered by the annual report in which the AG was first reported. Subsequent marketing dates by the same firm or other firms are not included in this listing. As noted, in many cases FDA does not have information on whether the AG is still marketed and, if not still marketed, the date marketing ceased. Although attempts have been made to ensure that this list is as accurate as possible, given the volume of d ata reviewed and the possibility of database limitations or errors, users of this list are cautioned to independently verify the information on the list. We welcome comments on and suggested changes (e.g., additions and deletions) to the list, but the list may include only information that is included in an annual report. Please send suggested changes to the list, along with any supporting documentation to: [email protected] A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V X Y Z NDA Applicant Date Authorized Generic Proprietary Name Dosage Form Strength Name Entered the Market 1 ACANYA Gel 1.2% / 2.5% Bausch Health 07/2018 Americas, Inc.
