Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains and incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In some cases, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, and contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or state trends and known uncertainties or other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) include, without limitation, statements regarding:

· our expectations regarding our financial performance, including revenues, expenses, gross margins, liquidity, capital expenditures and income taxes;

· our expectations regarding our products, including the development, regulatory review (including expectations about regulatory approval and regulatory timelines) and therapeutic and commercial scope and potential of such products and the costs and expenses related thereto;

· our expectations regarding the initiation, timing and results of clinical trials of our products;

· our expectations regarding the competitive landscape, and changes therein, related to our products and development programs;

· our expectations regarding the financial impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations and valuations;

· our expectations regarding our collaborations and other significant agreements relating to our products and development programs;

· our expectations regarding the impact of new accounting pronouncements;

· our expectations regarding near-term changes in the nature of our market risk exposures or in management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures;

· our ability to comply with restrictive covenants of our indebtedness and our ability to fund our debt service obligations; and

· our expectations regarding future capital requirements and capital expenditures and our ability to finance our operations and capital requirements.

Actual results might differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q because these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. For more information regarding the risk and uncertainties of our business, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 (the “Transition Report”) and any subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Form 10-Q concerning the disorders targeted by our products and the markets in which we operate is based on information from various third-party sources (including, without limitation, industry publications, medical and clinical journals and studies, surveys and forecasts) as well as our internal research. Our internal research involves assumptions that we have made, which we believe are reasonable, based on data from those and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our marketed and development products. Our internal research has not been verified by any independent source, and we have not independently verified any third-party information. These projections, assumptions and estimates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in ‘‘Item 1A—Risk Factors’’ of our Transition Report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates included in this Form 10-Q.

1. THE COMPANY

Alkermes plc is a fully integrated, global biopharmaceutical company that applies its scientific expertise and proprietary technologies to research, develop and commercialize, both with partners and on our own, pharmaceutical products that are designed to address unmet medical needs of patients in major therapeutic areas. We have a diversified portfolio of more than 20 commercial drug products and a clinical pipeline of product candidates that address central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders such as addiction, schizophrenia and depression. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Alkermes has a research and development (“R&D”) center in Waltham, Massachusetts; R&D and manufacturing facilities in Athlone, Ireland; and manufacturing facilities in Gainesville, Georgia and Wilmington, Ohio.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited financial statements for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2013 (the “Transition Period”). The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (commonly referred to as “GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the reported periods.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Alkermes, which are contained in the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K, which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period, including the Transition Period, or for a full fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alkermes plc and its wholly owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within Part II, Item 8 of our Transition Report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments and methodologies, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, its collaborative relationships, clinical trial expenses, the valuation of inventory, impairment and amortization of intangibles and long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of investments and derivative instruments, litigation and restructuring charges. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Segment Information

The Company operates as one business segment, which is the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines designed to yield better therapeutic outcomes and improve the lives of patients with serious diseases. The Company’s chief decision maker, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating unit.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In July 2013, the FASB adopted clarifying guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when various qualifying tax credits exist. The amendment requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction to deferred tax assets created by net operating losses (‘‘NOLs’’) or other tax credits from prior periods that occur in the same taxing jurisdiction. To the extent that the unrecognized tax benefit exceeds these NOLs or other tax credits, it shall be presented as a liability. This update, required to be adopted for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial position.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company’s equity securities at March 31, 2014 included common stock and warrants in Acceleron Pharma, Inc. (“Acceleron”), which the Company accounts for as available-for-sale marketable securities. The proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities, which were primarily reinvested and resulted in realized gains and losses, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended

(In thousands)	2014			2013
Proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities	$	84,500		$	38,749

Realized losses	$	(3	)	$	(5	)

The Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2014 had contractual maturities in the following periods:

	Available-for-sale				Held-to-maturity
	Amortized		Estimated		Amortized		Estimated
(In thousands)	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
Within 1 year	$	225,758	$	225,679	$	1,547	$	1,547

Total	$	516,775	$	516,587	$	1,547	$	1,547

At March 31, 2014, the Company believed that the unrealized losses on its available-for-sale investments were temporary. The investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of U.S. government and agency debt securities and corporate debt securities. In making the determination that the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company considered various factors, including but not limited to: the length of time each security was in an unrealized loss position; the extent to which fair value was less than cost; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers; and the Company’s intent not to sell these securities and the assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The Company’s investment in Civitas Therapeutics, Inc. (“Civitas”) was zero and $2.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which was recorded within “Other Assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a reduction in its investment in Civitas of $2.0 million, which represented the Company’s proportionate share of Civitas’ net losses for this period. As the Company’s interest in Civitas has reached zero, the Company will no longer record its proportionate share of Civitas’ net losses until such time as the Company’s share of Civitas’ net income exceeds its share of Civitas’ net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS — (Continued)

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s Level 3 investment consisted of warrants to purchase the common stock of Acceleron. The Company used a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of these warrants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included the following:

Current stock price	$	34.50
Warrant strike price	$	5.88
Expected term (years)	6.28
Risk-free rate	2.31		%
Volatility	71.2		%

The Company’s investments in U.S. government and agency debt securities, international government agency debt securities and corporate debt securities classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy were initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing market-observable data. The market-observable data included reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validated the prices developed using the market-observable data by obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in September 2011, which is described in greater detail in Note 11, Derivative Instruments. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement was based on an income approach, which excludes accrued interest, and takes into consideration then-current interest rates and the then-current creditworthiness of the Company or the counterparty, as applicable.

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the remaining financial instruments not currently recognized at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the $300.0 million, seven-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% with a LIBOR floor of 0.75% (“Term Loan B-1”) and the $75.0 million, four-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor (“Term Loan B-2” and together with Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”). The estimated fair value of these term loans, which was based on quoted market price indications (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) and may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future, was as follows at March 31, 2014:

	Carrying		Estimated
(In thousands)	Value		Fair Value
Term Loan B-1	$	293,438	$	295,408
Term Loan B-2	$	69,275	$	69,375

5. INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consisted of the following:

7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following:

		March 31, 2014
	Weighted	Gross		Accumulated			Net
(In thousands)	Amortizable Life	Carrying Amount		Amortization			Carrying Amount
Goodwill		$	92,740	$	—		$	92,740

Total		$	640,600	$	(115,611	)	$	524,989

The Company recorded, as “Amortization of acquired intangible assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, $12.6 million and $10.3 million of amortization expense related to its finite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, all of which related to cost of goods manufactured and sold. Based on the Company’s most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included within its condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 is expected to be approximately $60.0 million, $65.0 million, $70.0 million, $70.0 million and $70.0 million in the years ending December 31, 2014 through 2018, respectively. Although the Company believes such available information and assumptions are reasonable, given the inherent risks and uncertainties underlying its expectations regarding such future revenues, there is the potential for the Company’s actual results to vary significantly from such expectations. If revenues are projected to change, the related amortization of the intangible assets will change in proportion to the change in revenues.

9. RESTRUCTURING

On April 4, 2013, the Company approved a restructuring plan at its Athlone, Ireland manufacturing facility consistent with the evolution of the Company’s product portfolio and designed to improve operational performance for the future. The restructuring plan calls for the Company to terminate manufacturing services for certain older products that are expected to no longer be economically practicable to produce due to decreasing demand from its customers resulting from generic competition. The Company expects to continue to generate revenues from the manufacturing of these products during the year ending December 31, 2015.

As a result of the termination of these services, the Company also implemented a corresponding reduction in headcount of up to 130 employees. In connection with this restructuring plan, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $12.3 million, which consisted of severance and outplacement services. The Company has paid in cash $3.2 million in connection with this restructuring plan and recorded an adjustment of $0.5 million to the restructuring accrual due to changes in foreign currency. Restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was as follows:

	Severance and
(In thousands)	Outplacement Services
Balance, January 1, 2014	$	10,578
Payments	(946		)
Adjustments	(12		)
Balance, March 31, 2014	$	9,620

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $8.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of this restructuring accrual was included within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” and $1.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, was included within “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In September 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR rate at which the Company’s long-term debt bears interest. The interest rate swap agreement became effective in December 2012, expires in December 2014 and has a notional value of $65.0 million. The Company recorded an immaterial loss and a gain of $0.1 million within “Other (expense) income, net” due to the change in fair value of this contract during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value and presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the Company’s interest rate swap was as follows:

		Fair Value
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Liability derivative not designated as a cash flow hedge	Other long-term liabilities	$	(185	)	$	(275	)

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation expense consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In thousands)	2014		2013
Cost of goods manufactured and sold	$	2,310	$	1,071
Research and development	3,403		2,139
Selling, general and administrative	7,707		4,671
Total share-based compensation expense	$	13,420	$	7,881

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation cost was capitalized and recorded as “Inventory” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In January 2014, the Company sold 5,917,160 ordinary shares, $0.01 par value per share, pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $42.25 per share. The Company received total gross proceeds of $250.0 million, before deducting expenses of $1.6 million associated with the offering.

14. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per ordinary share is calculated based upon net (loss) income available to holders of ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per ordinary share, the Company uses the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, as adjusted for the effect of potential outstanding shares, including stock options and restricted stock units.

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.8 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The income tax provision in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily relates to U.S. Federal and state taxes on income.

The Company records a deferred tax asset or liability based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted jurisdictional tax rates assumed to be in effect when these differences reverse. At March 31, 2014, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates, at each reporting period, the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. For example, the Company is currently involved in various Paragraph IV litigations in the U.S. and other proceedings outside of the U.S. involving its patents in respect of FOCALIN XR, TRICOR, RITALIN LA and MEGACE ES. The Company is not aware of any such proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2014, the Company closed on the sale of certain of its land, buildings and equipment at its Athlone, Ireland facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page 5 of this Form 10-Q, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Transition Report, which has been filed with the SEC.

Executive Summary

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $24.4 million, or $0.17 per ordinary share— basic and diluted, as compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.02 per ordinary share— basic and diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded total revenues of $130.2 million as compared to $163.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Included in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $30.0 million of intellectual property (“IP”) license revenue unrelated to key development programs. Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $146.1 million, reflecting increased investment in our development pipeline, such as the initiation of the pivotal clinical development program for ALKS 5461, and prelaunch activities for aripiprazole lauroxil as we announced positive phase 3 results for this drug candidate in April 2013. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we sold approximately 5.9 million ordinary shares, through a registered direct offering, to Invesco Perpetual Income Fund (“IPI Fund”) and the Invesco Perpetual High Income Fund (“IPHI Fund” and together with the IPI Fund, the “Invesco Funds”), for gross proceeds of $250.0 million.

KEY MARKETED PRODUCTS

Our key marketed products are expected to contribute meaningfully to our revenues.

RISPERDAL CONSTA and INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION

RISPERDAL CONSTA (risperidone long-acting injection) and INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION (paliperidone palmitate) extended-release injectable suspension) are long-acting atypical antipsychotics that incorporate our proprietary technologies. They are products of Janssen.

RISPERDAL CONSTA uses our polymer-based microsphere injectable extended-release technology to deliver and maintain therapeutic medication levels in the body through just one injection every two weeks. RISPERDAL CONSTA is exclusively manufactured by us and is marketed and sold by Janssen worldwide. It was first approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in the U.S. in 2003 and in countries in Europe in 2002. The FDA approved RISPERDAL CONSTA as both monotherapy and adjunctive therapy to lithium or valproate in the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder in May 2009. RISPERDAL CONSTA is also approved for the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder in over 25 other countries worldwide.

INVEGA SUSTENNA uses our nanoparticle injectable extended-release technology to increase the rate of dissolution and enable the formulation of an aqueous suspension for once-monthly intramuscular administration. INVEGA SUSTENNA was approved for the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia in adults in the U.S. in 2009. Paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension is also approved in the European Union (“EU”) and other countries worldwide, and is marketed and sold in the EU under the trade name XEPLION. INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION is manufactured and commercialized worldwide by Janssen.

AMPYRA/FAMPYRA

Dalfampridine extended-release tablets are marketed and sold in the U.S. under the trade name AMPYRA by Acorda. In January 2010, the FDA approved AMPYRA as a treatment to improve walking in patients with MS as demonstrated by an increase in walking speed. It is the first and, currently, only product to be approved for this indication. Prolonged-release fampridine tablets are marketed and sold outside the U.S. under the trade name FAMPYRA by Biogen Idec. In July 2011, the European Medicines Agency conditionally approved FAMPYRA in the EU for the improvement of walking in adults with MS. This authorization was renewed as of July 2013. The product incorporates our OCR technology. AMPYRA and FAMPYRA are manufactured by us.

BYDUREON

BYDUREON (exenatide extended-release for injectable suspension) was approved by the FDA in January 2012, and received marketing authorization in the EU in June 2011, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. BYDUREON, a once-weekly formulation of exenatide, the active ingredient in BYETTA, uses our polymer-based microsphere injectable extended-release technology. From August 2012 until February 2014, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“Bristol-Myers”) and AstraZeneca co-developed and marketed BYDUREON through their diabetes collaboration. In February 2014, AstraZeneca assumed sole responsibility for the development and commercialization of BYDUREON. In March 2014, AstraZeneca announced FDA approval of the BYDUREON Pen 2 mg. AstraZeneca said that they plan to make the BYDUREON Pen available for patients in the second half of 2014.

VIVITROL

VIVITROL (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension) is a once-monthly injectable medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of alcohol dependence in April 2006 and for the prevention of relapse to opioid dependence, following opioid detoxification, in October 2010. The medication uses our polymer-based microsphere injectable extended-release technology to deliver and maintain therapeutic medication levels in the body through just one injection every four weeks. We developed, and currently market and sell, VIVITROL in the U.S., and Cilag sells VIVITROL in Russia and the CIS. The Russian regulatory authorities approved VIVITROL for the treatment of alcohol dependence in 2008 and for the treatment of opioid dependence in 2011.

Other Marketed Products

Except for ZOHYDRO ER, which received FDA approval in October 2013, we generally expect revenues from our other commercial products, taken together, to decrease in the future due to existing and expected competition from generic manufacturers, as discussed in greater detail herein and within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Transition Report, which has been filed with the SEC.

KEY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

We also have several proprietary and partnered product candidates in various stages of development.

Aripiprazole Lauroxil

We are studying aripiprazole lauroxil for the treatment of schizophrenia. Aripiprazole lauroxil is designed to provide once-monthly dosing of a medication that converts in vivo into aripiprazole, a molecule that is commercially available under the name ABILIFY. Aripiprazole lauroxil is our first product candidate to leverage our proprietary LinkeRx technology.

In April 2014, we announced positive topline results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial of aripiprazole lauroxil in patients with schizophrenia. Patients treated once monthly with either 441 mg or 882 mg of aripiprazole lauroxil demonstrated statistically significant reductions from baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (“PANSS”) total scores, compared to placebo, which was the prespecified primary endpoint in the study. In addition to meeting the prespecified primary efficacy endpoint, the study also met the prespecified key secondary endpoint of improvement on the Clinical Global Impression – Improvement scale (“CGI-I”) versus placebo. Aripiprazole lauroxil was generally well tolerated in the phase 3 study, and the safety profile of aripiprazole lauroxil was similar to that reported with oral aripiprazole. The most common adverse events in the study were insomnia, akathisia and headache. Based on the positive results from this phase 3 study, we plan to submit an NDA to the FDA in the third quarter of 2014. We will present comprehensive data from the phase 3 study at an upcoming medical meeting and submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

In January 2014, we announced plans to commence clinical testing of aripiprazole lauroxil two-month, a new product candidate for the treatment of schizophrenia. If approved, aripiprazole lauroxil would be the first and only long-acting atypical antipsychotic medication dosed every two months.

ALKS 33

ALKS 33 is a proprietary oral opioid modulator characterized by limited hepatic metabolism and durable pharmacologic activity in modulating brain opioid receptors. ALKS 33 has completed a phase 2 study in alcohol dependence and is currently being evaluated as a component of ALKS 5461 and ALKS 3831.

ALKS 5461

ALKS 5461 is a proprietary combination of ALKS 33 and buprenorphine that we are developing to be a non-addictive therapy for the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”) in patients who have an inadequate response to standard antidepressant therapies. In March 2014, we announced the initiation of the pivotal clinical development program for ALKS 5461. The comprehensive pivotal program, named FORWARD (Focused On Results With A Rethinking of Depression), includes a total of 12 studies, including three core phase 3 efficacy studies and nine supportive studies. The first FORWARD study, evaluating the onset of clinical effect, safety and tolerability of ALKS 5461 in patients with MDD, has begun, and the three core efficacy studies are expected to begin in mid-2014. The FORWARD pivotal program will include studies to evaluate the long-term safety, dosing, pharmacokinetic profile and human abuse liability of ALKS 5461. The three core efficacy studies will utilize state-of-the-art methodologies intended to reduce the impact of clinically meaningful placebo response.

ALKS 3831

ALKS 3831 is a proprietary investigational medicine designed as a broad spectrum treatment for schizophrenia. ALKS 3831 is composed of ALKS 33 in combination with the established antipsychotic drug olanzapine, which is generally available under the name ZYPREXA. ALKS 3831 is designed to attenuate olanzapine-induced metabolic side effects, including weight gain, and to have utility in patients with schizophrenia exacerbated by alcohol use disorders. We expect to complete enrollment of the ongoing phase 2 study, assessing ALKS 3831’s magnitude of effect on olanzapine-induced weight gain in 2014. A second, planned phase 2 study will investigate the potential utility of ALKS 3831 for the large number of patients with schizophrenia exacerbated by alcohol use disorders, and enrollment for this study is expected to begin in the second half of 2014.

MMF Prodrug ALKS 8700

ALKS 8700 is a proprietary, small-molecule prodrug of monomethyl fumarate (“MMF”) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. It is designed to rapidly and efficiently convert to MMF in the body and to offer differentiated dosing and tolerability as compared to the currently marketed dimethyl fumarate prodrug, TECFIDERA. We expect to file an Investigational New Drug

(“IND”) application with the FDA and initiate a phase 1 study of ALKS 8700 in mid-2014.

ALKS 7106

ALKS 7106 is our novel and proprietary small-molecule product candidate derived from our opioid modulator platform. ALKS 7106 is a potent oral opioid analgesic designed for the treatment of pain with intrinsically low potential for abuse and overdose death, which are two liabilities associated with opioid medicines. We expect to file an IND and initiate clinical studies in mid-2014.

RDB 1419

RDB 1419 is a proprietary biologic cancer immunotherapy candidate based on interleukin-2 and its receptors. RDB 1419 was engineered using our proprietary fusion protein technology platform to modulate the natural mechanism of action of a biologic. We expect to conduct IND-enabling activities for RDB 1419 in 2014.

Other

A phase 3 clinical research program for a three-month formulation of INVEGA SUSTENNA (paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation), an investigational treatment for symptoms of schizophrenia in adults, was initiated by Janssen Research & Development, LLC (“Janssen R&D”) in 2012. In March 2014, Janssen R&D announced that, following an Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommendation based on positive efficacy, it halted early a phase 3 clinical study of paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation. Janssen R&D has stated that, following a final analysis of the study and discussions with the FDA, it plans to file an NDA with the FDA for paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation by the end of 2014 and that the study results will be presented at a future medical congress and will also be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. This investigational product is being developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica, NV, licensee to our proprietary technology for nanoparticles.

AstraZeneca is developing line extensions for BYDUREON for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, including a dual-chamber pen device, and weekly and monthly suspension formulations using our proprietary technology for extended-release microspheres. AstraZeneca stated that they expect the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) to issue their opinion on the BYDUREON dual-chamber pen in the fourth quarter of 2014, and that they plan to file for approval of the dual-chamber pen in Japan during the second quarter of 2014. AstraZeneca expects to file for approval of the BYDUREON once-weekly suspension in the U.S. and EU in 2015.

Results of Operations

Manufacturing and Royalty Revenues

Manufacturing fees are earned for the manufacture of products under arrangements with our collaborators when product is shipped to them at an agreed upon price. Royalties are earned on our collaborators’ sales of products that incorporate our technologies. Royalties are generally recognized in the period the products are sold by our collaborators. The following table compares manufacturing and royalty revenues earned in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013:

	Three Months Ended				Change
	March 31,				Favorable/
(In millions)	2014		2013		(Unfavorable)
Manufacturing and royalty revenues:
RISPERDAL CONSTA	$	28.6	$	30.7	$	(2.1	)
INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION	21.0		14.8		6.2
AMPYRA/FAMPYRA	20.6		24.7		(4.1		)
RITALIN LA/FOCALIN XR	9.7		10.6		(0.9		)
BYDUREON	7.7		4.8		2.9
Other	23.7		61.3		(37.6		)
Manufacturing and royalty revenues	$	111.3	$	146.9	$	(35.6	)

The increase in INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION royalty revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due to an increase in Janssen’s end-market sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Janssen’s end-market sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION were $373.0 million, as compared to $284.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in Janssen’s end-market sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION resulted in our achieving a higher royalty rate earlier in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. Under our INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION agreement with Janssen, we earn royalty revenues on end-market net sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION of: 5% up to the first $250 million in calendar-year net sales; 7% on calendar-year net sales of between $250 million and $500 million; and 9% on calendar-year net sales exceeding $500 million. The royalty rate resets at the beginning of each calendar year to 5%.

The decrease in AMPYRA/FAMPYRA manufacturing and royalty revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due to a $2.4 million decrease in manufacturing revenues and a $1.7 million decrease in royalty revenues. The decrease in manufacturing revenues was primarily due to a 49% decrease in the amount of product shipped to Acorda and Biogen Idec, partially offset by an 11% increase in the price of AMPYRA. The decrease in royalty revenues was primarily due to a decrease in end-market sales of FAMPYRA in Europe.

The increase in BYDUREON royalty revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to an increase in end-market sales of BYDUREON by AstraZeneca. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our estimate of AstraZeneca’s end-market sales of BYDUREON was $96.0 million, as compared to $61.0 million sold under the Bristol-Myers and AstraZeneca diabetes collaboration in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Included in other manufacturing and royalty revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $30.0 million of IP license revenue unrelated to key development programs.

Product Sales, net

Our product sales, net consist of sales of VIVITROL in the U.S. to wholesalers, specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies. The following table presents the adjustments deducted from VIVITROL product sales, gross to arrive at VIVITROL product sales, net for sales of VIVITROL in the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Product sales, net	$	17.1		66.0	%	$	14.6		71.9	%

The increase in product sales, gross for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due to a 27% increase in the number of units sold. The increase in Medicaid rebates, chargebacks and co-pay assistance were all primarily due to the increase in VIVITROL gross product sales. The increase in other adjustments was primarily due to a $1.4 million charge against product sales, net, related to a limited VIVITROL recall for a needle clog issue.

The decrease in other cost of goods manufactured and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to a 25% decrease in shipments of our legacy products.

Research and Development Expense

For each of our R&D programs, we incur both external and internal expenses. External R&D expenses include costs related to clinical and non-clinical activities performed by contract research organizations (“CROs”), consulting fees, laboratory services, purchases of drug product materials and third-party manufacturing development costs. Internal R&D expenses include employee-related expenses, occupancy costs, depreciation and general overhead. We track external R&D expenses for each of our development programs, however, internal R&D expenses are not tracked by individual program as they benefit multiple programs or our technologies in general.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth our external R&D expenses relating to our individual Key Development Programs and all other development programs, and our internal R&D expenses by the nature of such expenses:

	Three Months Ended					Change

Total internal R&D expenses	23.4		18.8			(4.6		)
Research and development expenses	$	52.1	$	35.8		$	(16.3	)

These amounts are not necessarily predictive of future R&D expenses. In an effort to allocate our spending most effectively, we continually evaluate the products under development, based on the performance of such products in pre-clinical and/or clinical trials, our expectations regarding the likelihood of their regulatory approval and our view of their commercial viability, among other factors.

The increase in expenses related to ALKS 5461 is a result of the initiation and start-up activities associated with the multiple phase 3 studies. The decrease in R&D expenses related to the aripiprazole lauroxil program was primarily due to the completion of the phase 3 clinical trial, which we announced the top line results for in April 2014. The increase in expenses related to the ALKS 3831 program was due to an ongoing phase 2 study that was initiated in July 2013, and the preparation of a second phase 2 study to investigate the potential utility of ALKS 3831 for patients with schizophrenia exacerbated by alcohol use disorders, which is expected to begin in the second half of 2014. ALKS 8700 and ALKS 7106 were added to our key development program portfolio in 2013, and we plan to file INDs and initiate clinical studies for both programs in mid-2014. The increase in employee-related expenses is primarily due to an increase in headcount and share-based compensation expense. Expense incurred under the RDB 1419 program was not material in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

	Three Months Ended				Change
	March 31,				Favorable/
(In millions)	2014		2013		(Unfavorable)
Selling, general and administrative expense	$	42.6	$	34.7	$	(7.9	)

The increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in employee-related expenses and a $3.3 million increase in professional service fees and marketing expenses. The increase in employee-related expenses was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation of $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in our stock price and an increase in headcount. The increase in professional service fees and marketing expenses were primarily due to an increase in activity related to the anticipated launch of aripiprazole lauroxil and increased marketing activities related to VIVITROL. We expect SG&A expenses to continue to increase in calendar-year 2014 as launch planning activities accelerate for aripiprazole lauroxil.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

	Three Months Ended				Change
	March 31,				Favorable/
(In millions)	2014		2013		(Unfavorable)
Amortization of acquired intangible assets	$	12.6	$	10.3	$	(2.3	)

The intangible assets being amortized in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were acquired as part of the acquisition of Elan Drug Technologies (“EDT”) in September 2011. In connection with the acquisition of EDT, we acquired certain amortizable intangible assets with a fair value of $643.2 million, which were expected to be amortized over 12 to 13 years. We amortize our amortizable intangible assets using the economic use method, which reflects the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed as revenue is generated from the underlying patent or contract. Based on our most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included within our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 is expected to be approximately $60.0 million, $65.0 million, $70.0 million, $70.0 million and $70.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018, respectively.

Restructuring

On April 4, 2013, we approved a restructuring plan at our Athlone, Ireland manufacturing facility consistent with the evolution of our product portfolio and designed to improve operational performance in the future. The restructuring plan calls for us to terminate manufacturing services for certain older products that are expected to no longer be economically practicable to produce due to decreasing demand from our customers resulting from generic competition. We expect to continue to generate revenues from the manufacturing of these products into the year ending December 31, 2015.

As a result of the termination of these services, we began a corresponding reduction in headcount of up to 130 employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a one-time restructuring charge, expected to be settled in cash payments, consisting solely of severance and outplacement services of $12.3 million.

Other (Expense), Net

	Three Months Ended						Change
	March 31,						Favorable/

Other (expense) income, net	(1.8		)	0.2			(2.0		)
Total other (expense), net	$	(4.7	)	$	(11.1	)	$	6.4

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to an amendment of our long-term debt in February 2013, which resulted in a $7.5 million charge to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Our financial condition is summarized as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
(In millions)	2014		2013
Cash and cash equivalents	$	156.3	$	167.6
Investments — short-term	396.0		194.6
Investments — long-term	149.5		87.8
Total cash, cash equivalents and investments	$	701.8	$	450.0
Working capital	$	684.0	$	469.2
Outstanding borrowings — current and long-term	$	362.7	$	364.3

Table of Contents

Sources and Uses of Cash

We expect that funds generated from results of operations will be sufficient to finance our anticipated working capital and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures and principal and interest payments, for the foreseeable future. In the event business conditions were to deteriorate, we could rely on borrowings under our Term Loan Facility, which has an incremental facility capacity in an amount of $140.0 million, plus additional amounts as long as we meet certain conditions, including a specified leverage ratio.

Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions)	2014			2013
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	$	167.6		$	135.9
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities	(3.5		)	55.3
Cash used in investing activities	(272.7		)	(111.8		)
Cash provided by financing activities	264.9			17.6
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	156.3		$	97.0

The increase in cash flows used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by net (loss) income of $28.9 million and an increase in cash used for working capital of $29.9 million. The decrease in cash provided from net (loss) income was partially due to a $24.4 million net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $3.0 million of net income in the prior period. There was an increase in excess tax-benefit from share-based compensation of $2.7 million related to an increase in our stock price. The increase in cash used in working capital was primarily due to an increase in cash used for inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets of $14.9 million and a decrease in cash provided by accounts payable and accrued expenses of $29.7 million, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable of $15.8 million. The increase to inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets relates primarily to an increase in prepaid taxes of $21.5 million. The changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and accounts receivable are primarily related to the timing of payments and receipts, respectively.

The increase in cash flows used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to an increase in the net purchase of investments of $163.3 million.

The increase in cash flows provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, was due to the sale of approximately 5.9 million ordinary shares, through a registered direct offering to the Invesco Funds, for gross proceeds of $250.0 million and a $2.7 million increase in the excess tax-benefit from share-based compensation due to an increase in our stock price.

Our investments at March 31, 2014 consist of the following:

	Amortized		Gross Unrealized					Estimated
(In millions)	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value
Investments — short-term	$	378.5	$	17.6	$	(0.2	)	$	395.9
Investments — long-term available-for-sale	148.2		—		(0.3		)	147.9
Investments — long-term held-to-maturity	1.6		—		—			1.6
Total	$	528.3	$	17.6	$	(0.5	)	$	545.4

Our investment objectives are, first, to preserve liquidity and conserve capital and, second, to generate investment income. We mitigate credit risk in our cash reserves by maintaining a well-diversified portfolio that limits the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. However, the value of these securities may be adversely affected by the instability of the global financial markets, which could, in turn, adversely impact our financial position and our overall liquidity. Our available-for-sale investments consist primarily of short- and long-term U.S. government and agency debt securities, debt securities issued by foreign agencies and backed by foreign governments, corporate debt securities and equity securities. The equity securities consist of common stock and warrants of Acceleron. Our held-to-maturity investments consist of investments that are restricted and held as collateral under certain letters of credit related to certain of our lease agreements.

Table of Contents

We classify available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position, which do not mature within 12 months, as long-term investments. We have the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity, and it is more-likely-than-not that we would not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. At March 31, 2014, we performed an analysis of our investments with unrealized losses for impairment and determined that they were temporarily impaired.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1.3 million and $1.5 million of our investments, consisting of warrants to purchase the common stock of Acceleron, were valued using Level 3 inputs, respectively. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are significant to the overall fair value measurement and require a significant degree of judgment.

Borrowings

At March 31, 2014, our borrowings consisted of $364.9 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 11, Long-Term Debt, within Part II, Item 8 of our Transition Report, for a discussion of our outstanding term loans.

Contractual Obligations

Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Transition Report in the “Contractual Obligations” section for a discussion of our contractual obligations. Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2014 were not materially changed from the date of that report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2014, we were not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Part II, Item 7 of our Transition Report for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to “New Accounting Pronouncements” included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risks related to our investment portfolio, and the ways we manage such risks, are summarized in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Transition Report. We regularly review our marketable securities holdings and shift our investment holdings to those that best meet our investment objectives, which are, first, to preserve liquidity and conserve capital and, second, to generate investment income. Apart from such adjustments to our investment portfolio, there have been no material changes to our market risks since December 31, 2013, and we do not anticipate any near-term changes in the nature of our market risk exposures or in our management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to manufacturing and royalty revenues we receive on certain of our products as well as certain operating costs arising from expenses and payables at our Irish operations that are settled in euro. These foreign currency exchange rate risks are summarized in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Transition Report. There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to foreign currency exchange rate risk since December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on March 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
