`
`• Allergan beat 3Q top and bottom-line expectations by a wide
`margin: $40M more revenues and $0.04 higher EPS, even with
`higher than expected spending, which is a nice change from an
`earnings season that's been characterized by soft sales and
`earnings "hits" on lower spending within the speciality pharma
`sector (except for Sepracor).
`
`• Net sales were $606M, much higher than our $566M and the
`Street's $569M. EPS was $0.83, 4 cents higher than consensus of
`$0.79. As an added bonus, guidance was taken up by the amount
`of the beat. We adjust our ‘05 EPS to $3.27 (guidance $3.26-
`$3.27), and '06 to $3.69, down from $3.75 due to higher expenses.
`
`• The top-line strength was driven by outperformance of all the
`major product franchises. Relative to our estimates, Botox beat by
`$9M; Alphagan/P/Combigan beat by $10M; Lumigan beat by
`$4M; Restasis beat by $4M; and dermatology beat by $3M.
`Overall, the main drivers were strength in international markets,
`strong US performance, and a longer quarter in terms of selling
`days. Wholesaler inventory remains less than 8 weeks for all the
`major products. We sum it up as "operational excellence".
`
`• At $96, the stock trades at 26x our new ’06 EPS of $3.69. With
`leading fundamentals, a strong pipeline, and an eye towards
`execution, we find the valuation reasonable and stay at OW.

`
`3Q Analysis
`Allergan beat 3Q top and bottom-line expectations by a wide margin: $40M more
`revenues and $0.04 higher EPS, even with higher than expected spending, which is a
`nice change from an earnings season that's been characterized by soft sales and
`earnings "hits" on lower spending within the speciality pharma sector (except for
`Sepracor). Net sales were $606M, much higher than our $566M and the Street's
`$569M. EPS was $0.83, higher than our and the Street's $0.79.
`
`The top-line strength was driven by outperformance of all the major product
`franchises. Relative to our estimates, Botox beat by $9M; Alphagan/P/Combigan
`beat by $10M; Lumigan beat by $4M; Restasis beat by $4M; and dermatology beat
`by $3M. International markets were apparently quite strong, complementing strength
`in the US. In addition, traditional script analyses that suggested a softish top-line
`were confounded by a larger number of actual selling days in 3Q. Wholesaler
`inventory remains less than 8 weeks for all the major products.
`
`On expenses, we’re encouraged by the GM at ~84%, up 270bp sequentially and
`320bp y/y reflecting the drag the AMO contract revenue business had on the margin.
`Excluding, AMO, the margin was flat to down, but newer, higher margin products
`are beginning to improve the mix and have seemingly stemmed further pharma-only
`GM deterioration. Allergan expects this level of GM to continue into 4Q, as implied
`by its upwardly revised GM expectation for the year of 83-84%.

`
`New Guidance
`Allergan raised a number of key guidance items for the full year ending Dec '05 and
`offered first-time 4Q05 guidance.
`
`For the year (December 2005 YE):
`
`• Net sales are now expected to be $2.24-$2.26B, about 30M higher than the
`mid-point of the previous $2.175-$2.225B. Drivers of this increase are
`raised expectations for Restasis and the Alphagan franchise.

`
`o Restasis is now expected to be $180-$200M (previously $165-
`$185) as that product continues to gain traction. The company
`reported strong patient satisfaction and compliance, which
`generated strong refill scripts. With the recently signed co-promo
`deal with NPS, the product will be detailed to rheumatologists,
`perhaps adding another aspect to the growth outlook of this
`product.
`
`o Alphagan franchise sales are now expected to be $255-$275M
`(previously $235-$255M). Emerging markets like Latin America
`and Asia/Pacific seem to be the drivers of continued growth with
`flattish US and EU sales. Allergan hasn't explicitly stated when it
`plans to launch Alphagan P 0.1% (fka Alphagan Z), but we
`continue to expect a 1H06 launch. The company appears to be
`trying to coordinate reimbursement and other franchise issues
`before putting the product in the market.
`
`• GM’s of 83-84%, up from 82.5-83%. Newer, higher margin products have
`stemmed GM pressure and Allergan has become more optimistic in its
`outlook.
`
`•
`
`SG&A as a % of pharma net sales of 40%, up from 38-39%. Allergan is
`confident it’s making the right investments in DTC on major products like
`Restasis, Botox cosmetic, and Botox hyperhydrosis, especially in the DTC-
`sensitive US market. It’s also expanding two key sales forces: Botox in EU;
`and a doubling of the Botox neuroscience presence in the US. We continue
`to believe the Allergan’s preparation by making personnel investments and
`gaining experience with Imitrex via the Glaxo deal are solid steps towards
`ensuring a strong launch of this indication upon approval.
`
`• R&D as a % of pharma net sales of 17.5%. This is no change, but a strong
`reminder how focused this company is on internal development compared to
`many specialty pharma “peers” and perhaps the biggest confounding aspect
`of comparables valuation. Even at these levels, it’s seemingly highly
`analytical of programs it does invest in as evidenced by it finally throwing
`in the towel on Tazoral in psoriasis.
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Tax rate – unchanged at 29%.
`
`EPS guidance was raised to $3.26-$3.27 - effectively taking the top-end of
`the previous $3.20-3.23 range and adding this quarter's $0.04 beat. That
`both the top and bottom-lines are being taken-up by about the amount of
`today's beat is a good sign to us about Allergan's confidence in its outlook.
`
`Shares outstanding – unchanged at 133-134M.
`
`For 4Q05, Net sales is expected to be $565 - $580M and EPS is expected to be
`$0.88-0.89. We have only slightly trimmed our EPS to be at the top end of this
`range, being careful to note Allergan’s tendency as well as indicated expectation for
`the following quarter to reinvest any upside before throwing extra down to the
`bottom line.

`
`Valuation and Rating Analysis
`Our June upgrade was based on several catalysts, and as Allergan continues to hit on
`those catalysts, we still envision a 3-year investment time horizon with substantial
`and steady returns in each of those years, driven by consistent and possibly
`accelerating earnings growth, with low risk compared to peers. At $96, the current
`multiple has expanded up to nearly 26x, from the low 20’s earlier this year, and we
`still find it reasonable. Specialty pharma “peers” trade at about a 19x group average,
`however the level of R&D spend at Allergan is much more like that of a big pharma
`or biotech firm. Thus, we find broad group comparisons difficult, however, given
`the generally poor fundamentals of many members of the group and thus we find few
`true "peers."
`
`Risks to Our Rating
`We do not think there are any major fundamental risks in the near term like generic
`exposures that seem to plague many of the companies in this universe. New product
`launches are generally what drives specialty pharma stocks and Allergan has none in
`the near-term. With the recent run in the stock (up ~29% since May 2 compared to
`~6% for S&P), investors will now place more scrutiny on the longer-term pipeline
`that will be required to maintain the growth at the current rates. Hence, any pipeline
`setback, no matter how minor, may have more of a negative impact on the stock than
`it would have just a few months ago such as: delay in the start of the Botox Phase III
`migraine study, and in OAB, a hint that the Posurdex trials are not going well, and/or
`negative news on the potential for Combigan U.S. approval in 2006. Other specific
`risks would include a slowing Botox growth rate, which we have no visibility on due
`to lack of Rx data, and entry of Reloxin into the U.S. market sooner than 2008 with a
`deep discounting pricing strategy.
