Outlook
For the full year of 2009:
For the second quarter of 2009, Allergan estimates:
On January 1, 2009, Allergan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1), which requires retrospective application to prior periods. The impact from the adoption of this accounting rule on the previously reported GAAP results for the first quarter of 2008 was a reduction of diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders of $0.01 from the amount previously reported. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders for the first quarter of 2008 were not impacted.
Historical non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and guidance amounts for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, and effective tax rate on non-GAAP earnings as well as net sales reported in constant currency are presented as non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the financial tables of this press release. The reconciliation for the guidance amounts in the financial tables includes historical non-GAAP adjustments and an estimate of the future effect from amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of convertible debt discount.
All prior period information in the financial tables of this press release has been retrospectively revised due to the adoptions of FSP APB 14-1 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.
Forward-Looking Statements
In this press release, the statements regarding product development, market potential, expected growth, anticipated product filings and approvals, the statements by Mr. Pyott as well as the outlook for the state of the economy, Allergan's earnings per share, product net sales, revenue forecasts, future investment allocations, restructuring benefits or outcomes and any other future performance, among other statements above, are forward-looking statements. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Allergan's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Allergan often does not know what the actual results will be until after a quarter's end and year's end. Therefore, Allergan will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Allergan.
Any other statements in this press release that refer to Allergan's expected, estimated or anticipated future results are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Allergan's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Allergan's judgment only as of the date of this press release. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Allergan's businesses, including, among other things, changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of strategic initiatives; the results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; and Allergan's ability to obtain and successfully maintain a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including higher unemployment, financial hardship, consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, as well as the general impact of the current economic crisis, can materially affect Allergan's results. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Allergan expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required to do so by law.
