Susan Kilsby, Shire's Chairman, commented:

"Shire is well-positioned for future growth as we implement our plan to double product sales to $10 billion by 2020. I am confident that Shire, as an independent company, will deliver long-term value to our shareholders and improved outcomes for patients. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Shire management team and employees for the achievement of outstanding financial results during the third quarter."

Flemming Ornskov, M.D., Shire's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our third quarter results demonstrate our exceptional track record of delivering value and growth. We continue to implement our clear and focused strategy, as we:

- Generated record quarterly product sales of $1,552 million, growing at 33%
- Grew Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS by 60%, and
- Delivered Non GAAP cash generation of over $600 million.

"These results are a testament to our ability to drive top line growth and our continued emphasis on operational discipline.

"We have seen strong sales performance across our portfolio with all of our top ten products delivering double digit growth in the quarter. Rare Diseases, our largest business unit, grew by 66%, aided by our acquisition of ViroPharma. In our Hereditary Angioedema portfolio, CINRYZE performed strongly with quarterly sales of $145 million and FIRAZYR was up 57%.

"Our Neuroscience and Gastrointestinal business units also contributed to the record quarter with VYVANSE sales up 19% and LIALDA up 24%.

"We continue to build our international presence and our expansion into the Japanese market with the approval of VPRIV and AGRYLIN.

"Our early and late stage pipeline continues to be strengthened, both internally, and through business development providing us with new investments in Ophthalmology (BIKAM) and Rare Diseases (ArmaGen). The US Food and Drug Administration accepted with priority review our supplemental new drug application for VYVANSE as a treatment for adults with binge eating disorder and we expect to learn about the potential expanded indication in February 2015.

"Our strong momentum and performance this quarter is evidence of our ability to deliver growth, efficiency and innovation through our commitment to addressing significant unmet need in Rare Diseases and high-value specialty conditions. As a result, I am pleased to once again increase our guidance for 2014. We now expect to deliver Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS growth in the high thirty percent range in 2014."

- Product sales grew strongly in Q3 2014, up 33% to $1,552 million (Q3 2013:
  $1,171 million). Product sales in Q3 2014 included $153 million for products acquired
  with ViroPharma Incorporated ("ViroPharma"), primarily $145 million from CINRYZE(R).
  The inclusion of ViroPharma contributed 14% to reported product sales growth in the
  quarter.

Product sales grew 19% excluding products acquired with ViroPharma. Growth was generated across our portfolio but primarily driven by VYVANSE(R)[1] (up 19% to $355 million), LIALDA(R)/MEZAVANT(R) (up 24% to $177 million), ELAPRASE(R) (up 31% to $169 million) and REPLAGAL(R) (up 25% to $136 million). Sales of ELAPRASE and REPLAGAL in the quarter benefitted from several large orders from customers who order less frequently. In 2013 comparable orders were recorded in the fourth quarter.

- Total revenues were up 32% to $1,597 million (Q3 2013: $1,213 million).
- On a Non GAAP basis:
  Operating income grew strongly in Q3 2014, up 60% to $717 million (Q3 2013: $449
  million) as combined Research and Development ("R&D") and Selling, General and
  Administrative ("SG&A") costs increased at a much lower rate (up 10%) than total
  revenues (up 32%).
  On a Non GAAP basis:
  EBITDA margin (excluding royalties and other revenues)[2]was 46%, up 8 percentage
  points compared to Q3 2013 (Q3 2013: 38%), as we continue to deliver operating
  leverage. R&D costs were 5% lower compared to Q3 2013. SG&A costs increased by 19%,
  due in part to the inclusion of ViroPharma's SG&A costs and additional commercial
  spending in advance of anticipated product launches for certain products.
  On a US GAAP basis (from continuing operations):
  Operating income was up 49% to $572 million (Q3 2013: $383 million), a lower rate of
  increase than on a Non GAAP basis as Q3 2014 included higher amortization charges,
  higher costs associated with acquisitions and integration activities as well as costs
  associated with AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire. Combined R&D and SG&A was up 21%,
  with R&D up 1% and SG&A up 32% as compared with Q3 2013. Net income margin in Q3 2014
  was up 7 percentage points to 30% (Q3 2013: 23%).
- Non GAAP diluted earnings per American Depository Share ("ADS") increased 60%
  to $2.93 (Q3 2013: $1.83) as a result of higher Non GAAP operating income and a lower
  Non GAAP effective tax rate of 18% in Q3 2014 (Q3 2013: 20%).
  On a US GAAP basis, diluted earnings per ADS increased 66% to $2.43 (Q3 2013:
  $1.46) as a result of higher US GAAP operating income and a lower US GAAP effective
  tax rate of 11% in Q3 2014 (Q3 2013: 20%).
- Cash generation, a Non GAAP measure, was up 27% to $612 million (Q3 2013: $482
  million) reflecting higher receipts from product sales and lower operating expense
  payments. Cash generation in Q3 2014 was held back by payments of $59 million in
  respect of the final agreement with the US Government relating to previously disclosed
  civil investigations, as well as payments in respect of the One Shire reorganization,
  AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire and the integration of ViroPharma.
  Free cash flow, also a Non GAAP measure, was up 48% to $575 million (Q3 2013: $388
  million) due to higher cash generation and lower capital expenditure in the quarter.
  On a US GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was up 37% to $593
  million (Q3 2013: $434 million).
- Net debt, also a Non GAAP measure, was $396 million at September 30, 2014
  (December 31, 2013: net cash of $2,231 million).

On a US GAAP basis, cash and cash equivalents were $468 million at September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: $2,239 million).

--------------------------------------------------

1. ) Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate ("LDX") currently marketed as VYVANSE in the US and Canada, VENVANSE(R) in Latin America and ELVANSE(R) in certain territories in the EU for the treatment of ADHD. 2. ) EBITDA as a percentage of product sales, excluding royalties and other revenues.

OUTLOOK

We've delivered a very strong performance so far this year, and as a result we are increasing our guidance. We now expect to deliver Non GAAP earnings per ADS growth in the high thirty percent range in 2014 (previous guidance: low-to-mid thirty percent growth).

Following our strong product sales performance in the year to date, we now expect product sales growth for the full year 2014 in the low twenty percent range (previous guidance: high teens growth).

We anticipate product sales growth in the fourth quarter to be lower than we've delivered so far this year, as the third quarter benefited from Rare Diseases sales to customers who order less frequently, and as we lap against stronger comparatives in the fourth quarter.

We expect royalties and other revenues for 2014 to be 0-5% lower than in 2013, as we now anticipate recognizing additional milestone income in the fourth quarter of 2014.

We continue to anticipate that our Non GAAP gross margin will be approximately 1 percentage point lower than in 2013.

We continue to expect Combined Non GAAP R&D and SG&A to grow by 2-4% compared to 2013. We expect slightly higher operating costs in the fourth quarter than seen in the third quarter, as we continue to invest behind our innovative and exciting pipeline. The fourth quarter will also see an increase in commercial spending on Binge Eating Disorder disease awareness ahead of anticipated launch.

We continue to expect Non GAAP net interest expense to be approximately $10 million lower than in 2013.

Our core effective tax rate on Non GAAP income is still expected to be in the range of 17-19%.

Our current assumption of the diluted number of ordinary shares for full year 2014 is approximately 590 million.

Taken together, we now expect to deliver Non GAAP earnings per ADS growth in the high thirty percent range in 2014 (previous guidance: low-to-mid thirty percent growth).

THIRD QUARTER 2014 AND RECENT PRODUCT AND PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTS

Products

We continue to make progress building our business in Japan:

- On September 26, 2014 Shire was granted a marketing authorization by the
  Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan for AGRYLIN(R)[1] in adult essential
  thrombocythaemia patients.
- On September 2, 2014 Shire launched VPRIV(R) in Japan, for the improvement of
  symptoms of Gaucher disease, following approval of a marketing authorization on July
  4, 2014 by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan.

VYVANSE - for the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder ("BED") in adults

- On September 15, 2014 Shire announced that the US Food and Drug
  Administration ("FDA") has accepted for filing with priority review a supplemental New
  Drug Application ("sNDA") for VYVANSE as a treatment for adults with BED. The FDA is
  expected to provide a decision in February 2015, based on the anticipated Prescription
  Drug User Fee Act action date.

Pipeline

SHP607 - for the prevention of retinopathy of prematurity ("ROP")

- On October 17, 2014 Shire submitted an Investigational New Drug ("IND")
  application for SHP607 with the FDA. The IND is subject to a 30-day review period.

SHP465 - for the treatment of ADHD in adults

- On October 9, 2014 Shire announced that it has received further guidance
  from the FDA on the regulatory path for SHP465, an investigational oral stimulant
  medication being evaluated as a potential treatment for ADHD in adults. This
  information will impact Shire's plans for a 2014 New Drug Application ("NDA")
  resubmission for SHP465.

SHP620 (maribavir) for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection ("CMV") in transplant patients

- SHP620 was acquired as part of the acquisition of ViroPharma in Q1 2014.
  Shire is currently conducting two Phase 2 studies in transplant recipients, both of
  which are fully enrolled. The first is a trial in first-line treatment of asymptomatic
  CMV in transplant recipients. The results showed that maribavir, at all doses, was at
  least as effective as valganciclovir in the reduction of circulating CMV to below the
  limits of assay detection (undetectable CMV). The second study is a trial for the
  treatment of resistant/refractory CMV infection/disease in transplant recipients. The
  purpose of this study is to determine whether maribavir is efficacious and safe in
  patients with clinically refractory disease to standard of care CMV therapy (e.g.,
  valganciclovir, foscarnet) with or without genotypic resistance to those agents.
  Preliminary results are expected in early 2015. This product has been granted orphan
  drug designation in both the US and EU.

[1] Currently marketed as XAGRID(R) in the EU for the treatment of essential thrombocythaemia.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHANGES

- On October 20, 2014 Shire announced that James Bowling, Interim Chief
  Financial Officer ("CFO"), had notified the Board of Directors of his decision to step
  down from his current role to pursue a new career opportunity. James will leave Shire
  at the end of Q1 2015 and Shire has commenced a search for a new CFO.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Termination of AbbVie's offer for Shire

- On October 15, 2014 the Board of AbbVie confirmed that it had withdrawn
  its recommendation of its offer for Shire as a result of the anticipated impact of the
  US Treasury Notice on the benefits that AbbVie expected from its offer. As AbbVie's
  offer was conditional on the approval of its stockholders, and given their Board's
  decision to change its recommendation and to advise AbbVie's stockholders to vote
  against the offer, there was no realistic prospect of satisfying this condition.
  Accordingly, Shire's Board agreed with AbbVie to terminate the cooperation agreement
  on October 20, 2014. The UK Takeover Panel has confirmed that the offer period has
  ended. Shire has entered into a termination agreement with AbbVie, pursuant to which
  AbbVie has paid the break fee under the cooperation agreement of approximately $1.635
  billion.

Divestment of non-core product rights

During the third quarter Shire divested rights to three non-core products for total cash consideration of $65 million.

- On September 30, 2014 Shire sold its rights to EXPUTEX(R) to Phoenix Labs
  along with other specified assets.
- On August 1, 2014 Shire sold its rights to VANCOCIN(R) to ANI Pharmaceuticals
  Inc. along with other specified assets.
- On July 17, 2014 Shire sold its rights to ESTRACE(R) to Trimel Pharmaceuticals
  Inc. along with other specified assets.

Strategic licensing and collaboration agreement with ArmaGen Technologies, Inc. ("ArmaGen")

- On July 23, 2014 Shire and ArmaGen, a US-based privately held
  biotechnology company, announced a worldwide licensing and collaboration agreement to
  develop and commercialize AGT-182, an investigational enzyme replacement therapy for
  the potential treatment of both the central nervous system and somatic manifestations
  in patients with Hunter syndrome. This collaboration strengthens Shire's rare disease
  pipeline of innovative therapies where there is high unmet need, and underscores
  Shire's long standing commitment to the Hunter syndrome community.

Strategic acquisition of BIKAM Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("BIKAM")

- On July 9, 2014 Shire acquired BIKAM, a US-based privately held
  biotechnology company. The lead asset, SHP630 (formerly BIK-406), is in pre-clinical
  development for the potential treatment of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.

Legal Proceedings

Shire reaches final agreement with US Government relating to previously disclosed civil investigation

- On September 24, 2014 Shire announced that it had resolved all matters
  with the US federal government, the 50 states and the District of Columbia relating to
  a previously disclosed civil investigation of its US sales and marketing practices
  relating to ADDERALL XR(R), VYVANSE, DAYTRANA(R), LIALDA and PENTASA(R). The
  investigation was led by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of
  Pennsylvania. Under the agreement, Shire has paid $56.5 million, and interest, fees,
  and costs, to resolve all issues investigated by the government. This final settlement
  includes the resolution of two related qui tam complaints filed against Shire and a
  voluntary disclosure relating to LIALDA and PENTASA. In addition, Shire has paid $2.9
  million to resolve a previously disclosed civil complaint filed by the State of
  Louisiana alleging that Shire's sales, marketing, and promotion of ADDERALL, ADDERALL
  XR, DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV(R) violated state law. Shire recorded a $57.5
  million provision related to these matters which was charged to SG&A in the fourth
  quarter of 2012. As part of the resolution, Shire has entered into a Corporate
  Integrity Agreement with the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health
  and Human Services for a term of five years.

  recorded by ViroPharma, prior to the acquisition of ViroPharma by Shire.
5) IMS NPA Data not available.
6) Not sold in the US in Q3 2014.

VYVANSE - ADHD

VYVANSE product sales grew strongly in Q3 2014 (up 19% compared to Q3 2013) due to a price increase taken since Q3 2013 and to a lesser extent higher US prescription demand and growth in international markets.

LIALDA/MEZAVANT - Ulcerative Colitis

Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT in Q3 2014 were up 24%, primarily due to higher US prescription demand (up 22%) and to a lesser extent a price increase taken since Q3 2013. Q3 2014 also benefited from higher stocking than seen in Q2 2014.

ELAPRASE- Hunter syndrome

ELAPRASE product sales in Q3 2014 were up 31% compared to Q3 2013 driven by continued growth in the number of treated patients, especially in emerging markets. Growth in Q3 2014 also benefited from the timing of large shipments to certain markets which order less frequently. Many of these comparable orders in 2013 were made in the fourth quarter and therefore we expect ELAPRASE year-on-year sales growth to moderate in Q4 2014.

CINRYZE - for the prophylactic treatment of Hereditary Angioedema ("HAE")

Shire acquired CINRYZE through its acquisition of ViroPharma in Q1 2014. CINRYZE sales were $145.1 million in Q3 2014, growing 36% on Q3 2013[(1)]primarily driven by more patients on therapy, inventory build at specialty pharmacies favourably impacting sales and to a lesser extent, a price increase in the US.

[1] Q3 2013 recorded by ViroPharma, prior to the acquisition of ViroPharma by Shire.

REPLAGAL - Fabry disease

REPLAGAL sales were up 25% compared to Q3 2013 as we continue to see good growth in emerging markets and to a lesser extent higher volume demand in Europe. Q3 2014 also benefited from larger orders for certain markets which order less frequently. A comparable order in 2013 was made in the fourth quarter and therefore we expect REPLAGAL year-on-year sales growth to moderate in Q4 2014.

FIRAZYR - for the treatment of acute HAE attacks

FIRAZYR's strong product sales growth (up 57%) was primarily due to growth in patients on therapy and the effect of a price increase in the US market.

INTUNIV - ADHD

The growth in INTUNIV product sales (up 20%) in Q3 2014 was driven by price increases taken since Q3 2013, partially offset by destocking in Q3 2014 as compared to stocking in Q3 2013. We expect generic competition to enter the market starting in December 2014, which would impact US sales of INTUNIV.

VPRIV - Gaucher disease

VPRIV product sales in Q3 2014 were up 10% compared to Q3 2013 as we continue to add naive patients and gain patients switching from other therapies.

ADDERALL XR - ADHD

ADDERALL XR product sales increased (up 17%) in Q3 2014, primarily due to increased prescription demand, and lower sales deductions as a percentage of product sales in Q3 2014 as compared to Q3 2013.

PENTASA - Ulcerative Colitis

PENTASA product sales increased in Q3 2014 (up 11%) driven by price increases taken since Q3 2013 and a slight increase in stocking.

Non GAAP R&D decreased by $9.9 million, or 5% in Q3 2014, following the completion of several large Phase 3 programs since Q3 2013 including new uses for LDX and the effect of portfolio prioritization decisions taken during 2013. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of programs acquired through business development in 2014.

US GAAP R&D increased by $2.4 million, or 1% as compared to Q3 2013.

Non GAAP SG&A increased by $66.4 million, or 19%. The inclusion of ViroPharma SG&A in Q3 2014 and commercial spending in advance of anticipated product launches for certain products offset lower ongoing overheads following the One Shire reorganization. Non GAAP SG&A as a percentage of product sales was 3 percentage points lower than Q3 2013 as we continue to see benefits from the One Shire reorganization and the focus on operational discipline in Q3 2014.

US GAAP SG&A increased by $126.6 million, or 32%, as it also includes higher amortization of intangible assets acquired with ViroPharma, and costs incurred in connection with AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire.

Gain on sale of product rights

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded a net gain on sale of non-core product rights of $46.0 million (2013: $3.6 million) following the divestment of VANCOCIN, ESTRACE and EXPUTEX. The gain on sale of product rights also included the gain on re-measurement of the contingent consideration receivable relating to the divestment of DAYTRANA.

Reorganization costs

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded reorganization costs of $28.2 million (Q3 2013: $12.0 million) related to the One Shire reorganization as we continue the implementation of our new operating structure.

Integration and acquisition costs

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $37.1 million, comprising a $4.9 million charge relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and costs of $32.2 million primarily related to the acquisition and integration of ViroPharma.

In Q3 2013 integration and acquisition costs ($18.4 million) primarily related to the change in fair values of contingent consideration liabilities and the cost of integrating SARcode BioSciences Inc. ("SARcode") and Premacure AB ("Premacure").

Interest expense

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire incurred interest expense of $6.8 million (Q3 2013: $9.2 million). Interest expense in Q3 2014 primarily related to interest and the amortization of issue costs incurred on borrowings to fund the ViroPharma acquisition. Interest expense in Q3 2013 principally related to the coupon and amortization of costs on Shire's convertible bonds which were fully redeemed or converted in Q4 2013.

Taxation

The effective rate of tax on Non GAAP income in Q3 2014 was 18% (Q3 2013: 20%), and on a US GAAP basis the effective rate of tax was 11% (Q3 2013: 20%).

The effective rate of tax in Q3 2014 on Non GAAP income from continuing operations is lower than the same period in 2013 primarily due to changes in profit mix.

The effective rate of tax in Q3 2014 on US GAAP income from continuing operations is lower than the same period in 2013 primarily due to changes in profit mix and the recognition of a further tax credit of $27.7 million related to the settlement of an additional position with the Canadian revenue authorities in Q3 2014.

Discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations for the three months to September 30, 2014 was $36.1 million net of tax (2013: $22.9 million) relating to costs associated with the divestment of the DERMAGRAFT business, including a loss on re-measurement of contingent consideration receivable from Organogenesis to its fair value.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements included in this announcement that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event such risks or uncertainties materialize, Shire's results could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, that:

- Shire's products may not be a commercial success;
- revenues from ADDERALL XR are subject to generic erosion and revenues from
  INTUNIV will become subject to generic competition starting in December 2014;
- the failure to obtain and maintain reimbursement, or an adequate level of
  reimbursement, by third-party payors in a timely manner for Shire's products may
  impact future revenues, financial condition and results of operations;
- Shire conducts its own manufacturing operations for certain of its products
  and is reliant on third party contractors to manufacture other products and to provide
  goods and services. Some of Shire's products or ingredients are only available from a
  single approved source for manufacture. Any disruption to the supply chain for any of
  Shire's products may result in Shire being unable to continue marketing or developing
  a product or may result in Shire being unable to do so on a commercially viable basis
  for some period of time.
- the development, approval and manufacturing of Shire's products is subject to
  extensive oversight by various regulatory agencies. Submission of an application for
  regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, such as our planned submission
  of a New Drug Application to the FDA for lifitegrast as a treatment for the signs and
  symptoms of dry eye disease in adults, may be delayed for any number of reasons and,
  once submitted, may be subjected to lengthy review and ultimately rejected. Moreover,
  regulatory approvals or interventions associated with changes to manufacturing sites,
  ingredients or manufacturing processes could lead to significant delays, increase in
  operating costs, lost product sales, an interruption of research activities or the
  delay of new product launches;
- the actions of certain customers could affect Shire's ability to sell or
  market products profitably. Fluctuations in buying or distribution patterns by such
  customers can adversely impact Shire's revenues, financial conditions or results of
  operations;
- investigations or enforcement action by regulatory authorities or law
  enforcement agencies relating to Shire's activities in the highly regulated markets in
  which it operates may result in the distraction of senior management, significant
  legal costs and the payment of substantial compensation or fines;
- adverse outcomes in legal matters and other disputes, including Shire's
  ability to enforce and defend patents and other intellectual property rights required
  for its business, could have a material adverse effect on Shire's revenues, financial
  condition or results of operations;
- Shire faces intense competition for highly qualified personnel from other
  companies, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. Shire
  is undergoing a corporate reorganization and the consequent uncertainty could
  adversely impact Shire's ability to attract and/or retain the highly skilled personnel
  needed for Shire to meet its strategic objectives;
- failure to achieve Shire's strategic objectives with respect to the
  acquisition of ViroPharma Incorporated may adversely affect Shire's financial
  condition and results of operations;

and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Shire's filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K

NON GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These measures are referred to as "Non GAAP" measures and include: Non GAAP operating income; Non GAAP net income; Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS; effectivetax rate on Non GAAP income before income taxes and earnings/(losses) of equity method investees ("effective tax rate on Non GAAP income"); Non GAAP cost of product sales; Non GAAP R&D; Non GAAP SG&A; Non GAAP other income/(expense); Non GAAP interest income; Non GAAP cash generation; Non GAAP free cash flow, Non GAAP net cash/(debt), Non GAAP EBITDA and Non GAAP EBITDA margin (excluding royalties and other revenues)[1]. These Non GAAP measures exclude the effect of certain cash and non-cash items that Shire's management believes are not related to the core performance of Shire's business.

These Non GAAP financial measures are used by Shire's management to make operating decisions because they facilitate internal comparisons of Shire's performance to historical results and to competitors' results. Shire's Remuneration Committee uses certain key Non GAAP measures when assessing the performance and compensation of employees, including Shire's executive director.

The Non GAAP measures are presented in this press release as Shire's management believe that they will provide investors with a means of evaluating, and an understanding of how Shire's management evaluates, Shire's performance and results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise apparent on a US GAAP basis, since many non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that Shire's management believe are not indicative of the core performance of the business may not be excluded when preparing financial measures under US GAAP.

These Non GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Where applicable the following items, including their tax effect, have been excluded when calculating Non GAAP earnings for both 2014 and 2013, and from our Outlook:

Amortization and asset impairments:

- Intangible asset amortization and impairment charges; and
- Other than temporary impairment of investments.

Acquisitions and integration activities:

- Up-front payments and milestones in respect of in-licensed and acquired
  products;
- Costs associated with acquisitions, including transaction costs, fair value
  adjustments on contingent consideration and acquired inventory;
- Costs associated with the integration of companies; and
- Noncontrolling interests in consolidated variable interest entities.

Divestments, reorganizations and discontinued operations:

- Gains and losses on the sale of non-core assets;
- Costs associated with restructuring and reorganization activities;
- Termination costs; and
- Income/(losses) from discontinued operations.

Legal and litigation costs:

- Net legal costs related to the settlement of litigation, government
  investigations and other disputes (excluding internal legal team costs).

Other:

- Net income tax credit (being income tax, interest and estimated penalties)
  related to the settlement of certain tax positions with the Canadian revenue
  authorities.
- Costs associated with AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire.

Depreciation, which is included in Cost of product sales, R&D and SG&A costs in our US GAAP results, has been separately disclosed for the presentation of 2014 and 2013 Non GAAP earnings.

Cash generation represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, tax and interest payments.

[1] EBITDA as a percentage of product sales, excluding royalties and other revenues.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, but including capital expenditure in the ordinary course of business.

A reconciliation of Non GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure under US GAAP is presented on pages 20 to 25.

Growth at CER, which is a Non GAAP measure, is computed by restating 2014 results using average 2013 foreign exchange rates for the relevant period.

Average exchange rates used by Shire for the nine months to September 30, 2014 were $1.67:GBP1.00 and $1.36:EUR1.00 (2013: $1.55:GBP1.00 and $1.31:EUR1.00). Average exchange rates used by Shire for Q3 2014 were $1.69:GBP1.00 and $1.34:EUR1.00 (2013: $1.53:GBP1.00 and $1.32:EUR1.00).
