`
`Item 1. Business
`
`General Overview of our Business
`
`PART I
`
`We are a technology-driven, global health care company that discovers, develops and commercializes specialty
`pharmaceutical and medical device products for the ophthalmic, neurological, medical aesthetics, medical
`dermatological, breast aesthetics, obesity intervention and other specialty markets. We are a pioneer in specialty
`pharmaceutical research, targeting products and technologies related to specific disease areas such as glaucoma,
`retinal disease, dry eye, psoriasis, acne and movement disorders. Additionally, we discover, develop and market
`medical devices, aesthetics-related pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products. Within these areas, we are an
`innovative leader in saline and silicone gel-filled breast implants, dermal facial fillers and obesity intervention
`products, therapeutic and other prescription products, and to a limited degree, over-the-counter products that are sold
`in more than 100 countries around the world. We are also focusing research and development efforts on new
`therapeutic areas, including gastroenterology, neuropathic pain and genitourinary diseases.
`
`In June 2002, we completed the spin-off of our optical medical device business to our stockholders, forming
`Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., or AMO, which is now an independent, publicly-traded company. Our optical
`medical device business consisted of two businesses: our ophthalmic surgical products business and our contact lens
`care products business.
`
`In March 2006, we completed the acquisition of Inamed Corporation, a global healthcare manufacturer and
`marketer of breast implants, a range of dermal products to correct facial wrinkles, and bariatric medical devices for
`approximately $3.3 billion, consisting of approximately $1.4 billion in cash and 17,441,693 shares of our common
`stock.
`
`In January 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Groupe Cornéal Laboratoires, or Cornéal, a
`medical device manufacturer and marketer, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $233.9 million, subject
`to possible post-closing adjustments based on a final determination of Cornéal’s debt and cash levels. The acquisition
`of Cornéal expanded our marketing rights to Juvéderm TM and a range of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers from the
`United States, Canada and Australia to all countries worldwide and provided us with control over the manufacturing
`process and future development of Juvéderm TM .

`amendments to these reports, available on our Internet website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after
`such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information

`
`Operating Segments
`
`Following our spin-off of AMO and through the first fiscal quarter of 2006, we operated our business on the
`basis of a single reportable segment — specialty pharmaceuticals. Due to the Inamed acquisition, beginning in the
`second fiscal quarter of 2006, we operated our business on the basis of two reportable segments — specialty
`pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The specialty pharmaceuticals segment produces a broad range of
`pharmaceutical products, including: ophthalmic products for glaucoma therapy, ocular inflammation, infection,
`allergy and dry eye; skin care products for acne, psoriasis and other prescription and over-the-counter dermatological
`products; and Botox ® for certain therapeutic and aesthetic indications. The medical devices segment produces breast
`implants for aesthetic augmentation and reconstructive surgery; facial aesthetics products; and the LAP-BAND ®
`Intragastric Banding System, or LAP-BAND ® System, designed to treat severe and morbid obesity and the BIB TM
`BioEnterics ® Intragastric Balloon, or BIB TM System, for the treatment of obesity. We provide global marketing
`strategy teams to coordinate the development and execution of a consistent marketing strategy for our products in all
`geographic regions that share similar distribution channels and customers. The following table sets forth, for the
`periods indicated, product net sales for each of our product lines within our specialty pharmaceuticals segment,
`product net sales for each of our product lines within our medical devices segment, domestic and international sales
`as a percentage of total product net sales within our specialty pharmaceuticals segment and medical devices segment,
`and segment operating income for our specialty pharmaceuticals segment and medical devices segment:

`
`(2) Management evaluates business segment performance on an operating income basis exclusive of general and
`administrative expenses and other indirect costs, restructuring charges, in-process research and development
`expenses, amortization of identifiable intangible assets related to the Inamed acquisition and certain other
`adjustments, which are not allocated to our business segments for performance assessment by our chief
`operating decision maker. Other adjustments excluded from our business segments for purposes of
`performance assessment represent income or expenses that do not reflect, according to established company-
`defined criteria, operating income or expenses associated with our core business activities.
`(3) Due to the Inamed acquisition, beginning in the second quarter of 2006, we operated our business on the basis
`of two reportable segments — specialty pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
`
`We do not discretely allocate assets to our operating segments, nor does our chief operating decision maker
`evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.
`
`See Note 14, “Business Segment Information,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements listed under
`Item 15 of Part IV of this report, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” for further information concerning
`our foreign and domestic operations.
`
`Specialty Pharmaceuticals Segment
`
`Eye Care Pharmaceuticals Product Line
`
`We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of prescription and non-prescription products designed to
`treat diseases and disorders of the eye, including glaucoma, dry eye, inflammation, infection and allergy.
`
`Glaucoma. The largest segment of the market for ophthalmic prescription drugs is for the treatment of
`glaucoma, a sight-threatening disease typically characterized by elevated intraocular pressure leading to optic nerve
`damage. Glaucoma is currently the world’s second leading cause of blindness, and we estimate that over 60 million
`people worldwide have glaucoma. According to IMS Health Inc., an independent marketing research firm, our
`products for the treatment of glaucoma, including Alphagan ® (brimonide tartrate ophthalmic solution) 0.2%, or
`Alphagan ® , Alphagan ® P (brimonide tartrate ophthalmic solution) 0.15%, or Alphagan ® P, Alphagan ® P 0.1%
`(brimonide tartrate ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, or Alphagan ® P 0.1%, and Lumigan ® (bimatoprost ophthalmic
`solution) 0.03%, captured approximately 17% of the worldwide glaucoma market for the first nine months of 2006.
`Lumigan ® is now our largest selling eye care product. According to IMS Health, Inc., Lumigan ® was the third
`largest selling glaucoma product in the world for the first nine months of 2006.
`
`Our second largest selling eye care pharmaceutical products are the ophthalmic solutions Alphagan ® , Alphagan
`® P , and Alphagan ® P 0.1%. Alphagan ® , Alphagan ® P and Alphagan ® P 0.1% lower intraocular pressure by
`reducing aqueous humor production and increasing uveoscleral outflow. Alphagan ® P and Alphagan ® P 0.1% are
`improved reformulations of Alphagan ® containing brimonidine, Alphagan ® ’s active ingredient, preserved with
`Purite ® . We currently market Alphagan ® , Alphagan ® P, and Alphagan ® P 0.1% in over 70 countries worldwide.
`
`Alphagan ® , Alphagan ® P , and Alphagan ® P 0.1% combined were the fifth best selling glaucoma products in
`the world for the first nine months of 2006, according to IMS Health Inc. Combined sales of Alphagan ® , Alphagan
`® P and Alphagan ® P 0.1%, and our glaucoma and ocular hypertension product Combigan TM (brimonidine tartrate
`0.2%/timolol maleate ophthalmic solution 0.5%), discussed below, represented approximately 10% of our total
`consolidated product net sales in 2006, 12% of our total consolidated product net sales in 2005 and 13% of our total
`consolidated product net sales in 2004. The decline in the percentage of our total net sales represented by sales of
`Alphagan ® , Alphagan ® P , Alphagan ® P 0.1% and Combigan TM primarily resulted from the significant increase in
`our net sales in 2006 as a result of the Inamed acquisition. In July 2002, based on the acceptance of Alphagan ® P ,
`we discontinued the U.S. distribution of Alphagan ® . In May 2004, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement
`with Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., under which Kyorin became responsible for the development and
`commercialization of Alphagan ® and Alphagan ® P in Japan’s ophthalmic specialty area. Kyorin subsequently
`sub-licensed its rights under the agreement to Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Under the licensing agreement, Senju
`incurs associated costs, makes clinical development and commercialization milestone payments, and makes royalty-
`based payments on product sales. We agreed to work collaboratively with Senju on overall product strategy

`
`and management. Alphagan ® P 0.1% was launched in the U.S. market in the first quarter of 2006. The marketing
`exclusivity period for Alphagan ® P expired in the United States in September 2004 and the marketing exclusivity
`period for Alphagan ® P 0.1% will expire in August 2008, although we have a number of patents covering the
`Alphagan ® P and Alphagan ® P 0.1% technology that extend to 2021 in the United States and 2009 in Europe, with
`corresponding patents pending in Europe. In May 2003, the FDA approved the first generic form of Alphagan ® .
`Additionally, a generic form of Alphagan ® is sold in a limited number of other countries, including Canada, Mexico,
`India, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. See Item 3 of Part I of this report, “Legal Proceedings” and Note 12,
`“Commitments and Contingencies,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements listed under Item 15 of
`Part IV of this report, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” for further information regarding litigation
`involving Alphagan ® . Falcon Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., an affiliate of Alcon Laboratories, Inc., attempted to obtain
`FDA approval for and to launch a brimonidine product to compete with our Alphagan ® P product. However,
`pursuant to a March 2006 settlement with Alcon, Alcon agreed not to sell, offer for sale or distribute its brimonidine
`product until September 30, 2009, or earlier if specified market conditions occur. The primary market condition will
`have occurred if the extent to which prescriptions of Alphagan ® P have been converted to other brimonidine-
`containing products we market has increased to a specified threshold.
`
`Lumigan ® is a topical treatment indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with
`glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are either intolerant or insufficiently responsive when treated with other
`intraocular pressure-lowering medications. We currently sell Lumigan ® in over 50 countries worldwide. Sales of
`Lumigan ® represented approximately 11% of our total consolidated product net sales in 2006, 12% of our total
`consolidated product net sales in 2005 and 11% of our total consolidated product net sales in 2004. The decline in the
`percentage of our total net sales in 2006 compared to 2005 represented by sales of Lumigan ® primarily resulted from
`the significant increase in our net sales in 2006 as a result of the Inamed acquisition. In March 2002, the European
`Commission approved Lumigan ® through its centralized procedure. In January 2004, the European Union’s
`Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products approved Lumigan ® as a first-line therapy for the reduction of
`elevated intraocular pressure in chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. In June 2006, the FDA
`approved Lumigan ® as a first-line therapy. In May 2004, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with
`Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., under which Senju became responsible for the development and commercialization
`of Lumigan ® in Japan. Senju incurs associated costs, makes clinical development and commercialization milestone
`payments and makes royalty-based payments on product sales. We agreed to work collaboratively with Senju on
`overall product strategy and management. In November 2003, we filed a New Drug Application with the FDA for a
`Lumigan ® and timolol combination designed to treat glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In August 2004, we
`announced that the FDA issued an approvable letter regarding Ganfort ® , the Lumigan ® and timolol combination,
`setting out the conditions, including additional clinical investigation, that we must meet in order to obtain final FDA
`approval. In May 2006, we received a license from the European Commission to market Ganfort ® in the European
`Union.
`
`In addition to our Alphagan ® and Lumigan ® products, we have developed the ophthalmic solution Combigan
`TM , a brimonidine and timolol combination designed to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the
`eye) in people who are not responsive to treatment with only one medication and are considered appropriate
`candidates for combination therapy. Outside the United States, Combigan TM is now approved and has been launched
`in over 30 countries worldwide, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, across Latin America and Asia, as well
`as Europe. In September 2005, we received a positive opinion from the European Union by way of the Mutual
`Recognition Process for Combigan TM in all twenty-one concerned member states in which we filed. In March 2005,
`the FDA issued an approvable letter for our brimonidine and timolol combination and in December 2006, the FDA
`issued an approvable letter for Combigan TM . The approvable letter outlines the remaining conditions that we must
`meet in order to obtain FDA final marketing approval.
`
`Ocular Surface Disease. Restasis ® (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05% is the first and currently the
`only prescription therapy for the treatment of chronic dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is a painful and irritating
`condition involving abnormalities and deficiencies in the tear film initiated by a variety of causes. The incidence of
`dry eye disease increases markedly with age, after menopause in women and in people with systemic diseases such
`as Sjogren’s syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Until the approval of Restasis ® , physicians used lubricating tears as
`a temporary measure to provide palliative relief of the debilitating symptoms of dry eye disease. We launched

`
`Restasis ® in the United States in April 2003 under a license from Novartis for the ophthalmic use of cyclosporine.
`Restasis ® is currently approved in 26 countries. In April 2005, we entered into a royalty buy-out agreement with
`Novartis related to Restasis ® and agreed to pay $110 million to Novartis in exchange for Novartis’ worldwide rights
`and obligations, excluding Japan, for technology, patents and products relating to the topical ophthalmic use of
`cyclosporine A, the active ingredient in Restasis ® . Under the royalty buy-out agreement, we no longer make royalty
`payments to Novartis in connection with our sales of Restasis ® .
`
`In June 2001, we entered into a licensing, development and marketing agreement with Inspire Pharmaceuticals,
`Inc. under which we obtained an exclusive license to develop and commercialize Inspire’s INS365 Ophthalmic, a
`treatment to relieve the signs of dry eye disease by rehydrating conjunctival mucosa and increasing non-lacrimal tear
`component production, in exchange for our agreement to make royalty payments to Inspire on sales of both Restasis
`® and, ultimately, INS365, and for Inspire to promote Restasis ® in the United States. In December 2003, the FDA
`issued an approvable letter for INS365 and also requested additional clinical data. In February 2005, Inspire
`announced that INS365 failed to demonstrate statistically significant improvement as compared to a placebo for the
`primary endpoint of the incidence of corneal clearing. Inspire also announced that INS365 achieved improvement
`compared to a placebo for a number of secondary endpoints. Inspire filed a New Drug Application amendment with
`the FDA in the second quarter of 2005. In December 2005, Inspire announced that it had received a second
`approvable letter from the FDA in connection with INS365.
`
`Ophthalmic Inflammation. Our leading ophthalmic anti-inflammatory product is Acular ® (ketorolac
`ophthalmic solution) 0.5%. Acular ® is a registered trademark of and is licensed from its developer, Syntex (U.S.A.)
`Inc., a business unit of Hoffmann-LaRoche Inc. Acular ® is indicated for the temporary relief of itch associated with
`seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, the inflammation of the mucus membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids,
`and for the treatment of post-operative inflammation in patients who have undergone cataract extraction. Acular PF
`® was the first, and currently remains the only, unit-dose, preservative-free topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
`drug, or NSAID, in the United States. Acular PF ® is indicated for the reduction of ocular pain and photophobia
`following incisional refractive surgery. The Acular ® franchise was the highest selling ophthalmic NSAID in the
`world during the first nine months of 2006, according to IMS Health, Inc. Our Acular LS ® (ketorolac ophthalmic
`solution) 0.4% product is a version of Acular ® that has been reformulated for the reduction of ocular pain, burning
`and stinging following corneal refractive surgery.
`
`Our product Pred Forte ® remains a leading topical steroid worldwide based on 2006 sales. Pred Forte ® has no
`patent protection or marketing exclusivity and faces generic competition.
`
`Ophthalmic Infection. Our Ocuflox ® /Oflox ® /Exocin ® ophthalmic solution is a leading product in the
`ophthalmic anti-infective market. Ocuflox ® has no patent protection or marketing exclusivity and faces generic
`competition.
`
`We license Zymar ® (gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution) 0.3% from Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., and have
`worldwide ophthalmic rights excluding Japan, Korea, Taiwan and certain other countries in Asia. We launched
`Zymar ® in the United States in April 2003. Zymar ® is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone for the treatment of
`bacterial conjunctivitis and is currently approved in 21 countries. Laboratory studies have shown that Zymar ® kills
`the most common bacteria that cause eye infections as well as specific resistant bacteria. According to Verispan, an
`independent research firm, Zymar ® was the number one ophthalmic anti-infective prescribed by ophthalmologists in
`the United States in 2006. Zymar ® was the third best selling ophthalmic anti-infective product in the world (and
`second in the United States) for the first nine months of 2006, according to IMS Health, Inc.
`
`Allergy. The allergy market is, by its nature, a seasonal market, peaking during the spring months. We market
`Alocril ® ophthalmic solution for the treatment of itch associated with allergic conjunctivitis. We license Alocril ®
`from Fisons Ltd., now a business unit of Sanofi-Aventis, and hold worldwide ophthalmic rights excluding Japan.
`Alocril ® is approved in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We license Elestat ® from Boehringer Ingelheim AG,
`and hold worldwide ophthalmic rights excluding Japan. We co-promote Elestat ® (epinastine ophthalmic solution)
`0.05% in the United States under an agreement with Inspire within the ophthalmic specialty area and to allergists.
`Elestat ® is used for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Under the terms of our
`agreement with Inspire, Inspire provided us with an up-front payment and we make payments to Inspire based on
`Elestat ® net sales. In addition, the agreement reduced our existing royalty payment to Inspire for Restasis ® . Inspire
