      Recent Events

      -  In November 2023, the company completed the separation of its oncology business into Mural Oncology plc, a new, independent, publicly-traded company.

      -  In December 2023, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its development and manufacturing facility in Athlone, Ireland to Novo Nordisk. Under the terms of the agreement, upon closing of the transaction, Alkermes will be entitled to a one-time cash payment of $92.5 million for the facility and related assets, subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the agreement. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2024, subject to certain closing conditions.

      -  In January 2024, the company announced topline results from a phase 3, open-label extension study assessing the long-term safety, tolerability and durability of treatment effect of LYBALVI in patients with schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder or bipolar I disorder for up to four years of treatment, following treatment received in prior LYBALVI studies.

      -  In January 2024, the company announced that it had completed the narcolepsy type 1 cohort in its phase 1b study of ALKS 2680, the company's novel, investigational orexin 2 receptor agonist in development for the treatment of narcolepsy. The data supported dose selection of 4 mg, 6 mg, and 8 mg once daily for the planned phase 2 study in narcolepsy type 1, which the company plans to initiate in the first half of 2024.

      Notes and Explanations

      1. The company determined that upon the separation of its oncology business, completed on Nov. 15, 2023, the oncology business met the criteria for discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205, Discontinued Operations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented have been updated to present the assets and liabilities associated with the oncology business as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, and the results of all discontinued operations reported as a separate component of loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

      2. During the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2023, the company recorded a $102.2 million net tax benefit from continuing operations and an income tax provision of $6.9 million from discontinued operations driven by a $161.0 million tax benefit related to the partial release of a valuation allowance against certain Irish deferred tax assets, partially offset by

      (i)  an income tax expense related to a reduced foreign derived intangible income deduction following the publication of new guidance on the application of Section 174 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and

      (ii)  a one-time charge related to the transfer of certain intellectual property in connection with the separation of the company's oncology business. 

      The tax benefit related to the release of the valuation allowance was excluded from non-GAAP net income due to the one-time nature of the benefit.

      3. Under the share repurchase program, the company may repurchase ordinary shares of the company from time to time in an aggregate amount of up to $400 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases), subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, conducted through Rule 10b5-1 plans or 10b-18 plans pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or through other mechanisms permitted by the company's constitution.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures
      This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), including non-GAAP net income and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

      Non-GAAP net income adjusts for certain one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; change in the fair value of contingent consideration; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization; earnings include share-based compensation expense.

      The company's management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's performance. The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures of the company's performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA should not be considered measures of the company's liquidity.

      A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
