Said Darwazah, Executive Chairman of Hikma, said:
"We delivered a solid performance in 2017 at a challenging time
for our industry, demonstrating the benefit of our diversified
business model. Profitability in our Branded business remained
stable and our Injectables business was resilient, maintaining
strong profitability despite new competitors for our top products
and benefiting from our strong market position in the US hospital
segment.
The increasingly competitive dynamics of the US market,
including intense pricing pressure, had a material impact on our
Generics business and, in particular, on West-Ward Columbus. This
was further impacted by the delay in approval for our generic
version of Advair Diskus(R). As a result of these headwinds, we
have had to take an impairment related to the West-Ward Columbus
business to reflect our updated view of the fair value of this
business.
To be more competitive and achieve our ambitious goals, we are
making transformational changes across the Group. We recently
announced the appointment of Siggi Olafsson as Chief Executive
Officer. Siggi is an exceptional leader with extensive experience
in the industry. He is the right person to take the business to the
next level.
I am confident that the investments we have made across our
businesses in 2017 - in our people, our capabilities and our
facilities - leave us well positioned to achieve our strategy for
growth."
Siggi Olafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Hikma, said:
"Since arriving at Hikma, I can already see the incredible
potential of this business and I'm confident that the operational
improvements already under way will deliver substantial value to
our customers, employees, investors and the wider community."

In 2017, global Injectables revenue declined by 1% to $776
million. In constant currency, global Injectables revenue was in
line with 2016.
Of this total, US Injectables revenue was $586 million, down 3%
from $607 million in 2016, due to increased competition on certain
products with new market entrants and a reduction in contract
manufacturing, partially offset by recent product launches and
volume gains.
During 2017, MENA Injectables revenue was $103 million, up 13%
from $91 million in 2016. In constant currency, MENA Injectables
revenue increased by 23%. As expected, sales accelerated in the
second half of the year across our markets. In addition, we
achieved a strong performance in Sudan and benefitted from the
launch of our biosimilar product, Remsima(R), in new markets.
European Injectables revenue was $87 million in 2017, up 5%,
reflecting a good performance in Italy and Portugal, partially
offset by lower sales in Germany due to expected changes in
government regulations, restricting direct sales.
Injectables gross profit declined to $480 million in 2017,
compared with $505 million in 2016. Gross margin decreased to
61.9%, compared with 64.7% in 2016, reflecting increased
competition on some of our higher margin products in the US and a
slight increase in overheads due to the expansion of our
manufacturing facility in Portugal.
Core operating profit, which excludes the amortisation of
intangible assets other than software and exceptional items of $22
million, was $315 million in 2017, down from $340 million in 2016.
Core operating margin was 40.6%, compared with 43.5% in 2016. This
reflects a change in product mix and a slight increase in operating
costs.
During 2017, the Injectables business launched 34 compounds in
88 different dosage forms and strengths across all markets. The
Injectables business also received a total of 149 regulatory
approvals for products in different dosage forms and strengths
across all markets - 61 in the MENA, 65 in Europe and 23 in the
US.
In 2017, we reached a licensing agreement with South Korea-based
Celltrion, Inc. and Celltrion Healthcare, Inc (Celltrion) for
Truxima(TM) (rituximab), the first biosimilar monoclonal Antibody
(mAb) in oncology to be granted European marketing authorisation.
We now have exclusive agreements with Celltrion for three
biosimilar products - Truxima(TM) (rituximab), Remsima(R)
(infliximab) and Herzuma(R) (trastuzumab).
Looking forward, we expect Injectables revenue of between $750
million to $800 million in 2018 and core operating margin to return
to more normalised levels in the low to mid 30's.
Generics
-- Generics revenue of $615 million, up 2% from $604 million
-- Core operating profit of $22 million, compared with $35 million

Generics revenue was $615 million in 2017, up from $604 million
in 2016. In 2017, Generics revenue included twelve months from
West-Ward Columbus, compared with ten months in 2016. We faced
significant industry headwinds during the year, primarily due to
customer consolidation and greater competition following an
increase in generic drug approvals by the US FDA. This resulted in
greater than expected price and volume erosion. As expected,
revenue growth was also limited by a reduction in contract
manufacturing from Boehringer Ingelheim.
Generics gross profit was $219 million in 2017, compared with
$196 million in 2016. Excluding the impact of exceptional items,
core gross profit was $225 million, in line with 2016. This
reflects an increase in costs associated with the development of
our generic version of Advair Diskus(R), partially offset by a
reduction in raw material and overhead costs. Gross margin was
35.6%, and core gross margin was 36.6%, compared with 37.7% in
2016.
Core Generics operating profit was $22 million in 2017, compared
with $35 million in 2016, primarily reflecting an increase in
general and administrative costs related to strengthening our human
resources, finance and technology capabilities, which were only
partially offset by lower than expected investment in R&D. Core
operating margin was 3.6%, compared with 5.8% in 2016.
The Generics business reported an operating loss of $1,082
million in 2017, largely due to the impairment of the West-Ward
Columbus business. An initial impairment of product-related
investments of $35 million was taken in the first half of 2017,
primarily related to the West-Ward Columbus pipeline and a change
in the expected market opportunity of certain products.
In the second half of the year, as pricing pressure increased
due to customer consolidation and the pace of FDA approvals
accelerated, we further reduced our expectations for the West-Ward
Columbus marketed portfolio and pipeline. This has resulted in an
additional impairment, primarily related to West-Ward Columbus of
$1,070 million.(5) The impairment was slightly offset by a
contingent consideration gain of $29 million related to a refund of
the West-Ward Columbus acquisition purchase price, given certain
regulatory conditions did not occur as expected by 24 December
2017, and which will be used for any future related expenses.
In 2017, we strengthened our Generics management team,
recruiting experienced generic pharmaceutical leaders to manage
research and development, sales and marketing, business development
and the West-Ward Columbus facility. We are confident that going
forward the enhanced management team can deliver the changes
necessary to improve customer relationships and drive stronger
profitability.
During 2017, the Generics business launched 4 compounds in 9
different dosage forms and strengths and received 22 product
approvals in different dosage forms and strengths. The Generics
business also signed licensing agreements for 2 new products.
Since receiving a complete response letter (CRL) from the FDA on
11 May 2017 with respect to our ANDA submission for generic Advair
Diskus(R), we have worked collaboratively with the FDA to address
the majority of questions raised. Concurrently, we also entered
into a dispute resolution process with the FDA with respect of
questions raised regarding our clinical endpoint study. The FDA has
subsequently concluded this dispute process, upholding their
original determination and requiring the completion of a new
clinical endpoint study. We have finalised the planning of the new
clinical study and expect to start patient enrolment in the coming
weeks. We anticipate being able to submit a response to the FDA
with new clinical data as early as possible in 2019 and remain
committed to bringing this important product to the US market.
We expect Generics revenue to be between $550 million to $600
million in 2018 and core operating margin in the low single digits
before adjusting for lower depreciation related to the impairment
taken in 2017.
Branded
-- Branded revenue of $536 million, down 4% and up 2% in constant currency
-- Core operating profit of $114 million, slightly ahead of 2016
-- Core operating margin of 21.3% and 21.8% in constant currency, up 170 basis points

On a reported basis, Branded revenue was $536 million, down 4%
compared with $556 million in 2016. On a constant currency basis,
before the impact of adverse movements in the Egyptian pound and
Sudanese pound against the US dollar, Branded revenue increased by
2% to $565 million. The growth on a constant currency basis
reflects a strong acceleration in sales in the second half of the
year as well as particularly good growth in Egypt, the GCC and
Sudan, partially offset by more challenging operating conditions in
other markets.
In Egypt, revenue grew by 18% in constant currency due to strong
underlying market growth and an improvement in our portfolio mix.
In the GCC, which includes Saudi Arabia and the UAE, our businesses
delivered a strong performance, with revenue up 5%. In Algeria, our
second largest market, revenue was in line with 2016 in constant
currency, despite increased import restrictions.
During 2017, the Branded business launched 6 new compounds in
113 different dosage forms and strengths across all markets. The
Branded business also received 126 regulatory approvals across the
region for products in different dosage forms and strengths.
Revenue from in-licensed products represented 37% of Branded
revenue, compared with 39% in 2016. We launched 3 new in-licensed
compounds during 2017, including Actosmet(R), Duetact(R) and
Tamsin(R).
In 2017, we expanded our licensing and distribution agreement
with Takeda to add attractive branded products to our MENA
portfolio. The agreement builds on our long-standing partnership
and enables us to expand our portfolio in key therapeutic areas,
including cardiovascular, diabetes and gastroenterology.
On a reported basis, Branded gross profit was $265 million, down
6% from $282 million and gross margin was 49.4%, compared with
50.7% in 2016. In constant currency, gross profit increased by 1%
compared with 2016, and gross margin was 50.3%.
Core operating profit, which excludes the amortisation of
intangibles of $7 million, was $114 million, slightly ahead of
2016, and core operating margin was 21.3%, up from 20.1%. In
constant currency, core operating profit grew by 9.8% and core
operating margin increased to 21.8%, up 170 basis points. This
improvement in profitability reflects the benefit of more stable
exchange rates in 2017 compared to 2016, when we incurred a loss of
$17 million as a result of the devaluation of the Egyptian pound
against the US dollar.(6)
In 2018, we expect Branded revenue growth in constant currency
in the mid-single digits. As in 2017, we expect a stronger second
half, reflecting the usual seasonality of this business.
Other businesses
Other businesses, which primarily comprise Arab Medical
Containers, a manufacturer of plastic specialised medicinal sterile
containers, International Pharmaceuticals Research Centre, which
conducts bio-equivalency studies, and the API manufacturing
division of Hikma Pharmaceuticals Limited Jordan, contributed
revenue of $9 million in 2017, in line with 2016. These other
businesses made an operating loss of $4 million, compared with an
operating loss of $2 million in 2016. This was due to the
establishment of a regional hub in Dubai to support our expansion
into emerging markets.
Group
Group revenue was $1,936 million in 2017, down from $1,950
million in 2016. Group gross profit was $967 million and core gross
profit was $973 million, down from $1,018 million. Group gross
margin was 49.9% and core gross margin was 50.3%, compared with
52.2% in 2016.
Group operating expenses increased by 151% to $1,714 million.
Excluding the amortisation of intangible assets other than software
and exceptional items, core Group operating expenses were $587
million, compared with $599 million in 2016. In 2017, amortisation
of intangible assets other than software increased to $48 million,
compared with $37 million in 2016, due to a significant upgrade of
technology systems and the consolidation of an additional two
months of West-Ward Columbus. Exceptional items included within
operating expenses were $1,127 million, compared with $85 million
in 2016. Exceptional items comprised an impairment charge to
West-Ward Columbus' intangible assets of $920 million and property
plant and equipment of $164 million.(7) The paragraphs below
address the Group's main operating expenses in turn.
Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses were $236 million,
compared with $221 million in 2016. Excluding the amortisation of
intangible assets other than software, S&M expenses were $188
million, up 2% compared to 2016, due to the consolidation of an
additional two months of West-Ward Columbus, partially offset by
good control of expenses across the Group.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $5
million to $239 million in 2017. Excluding exceptional items,
G&A expenses increased by $30 million due in part to an
increase in G&A costs in the Generics business related to the
strengthening of human resources, finance and technology
capabilities and the consolidation of an additional two months of
West-Ward Columbus.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $121 million,
down from $150 million in 2016. Excluding exceptional items, core
R&D expense was $115 million, down from $126 million. This
primarily reflects a reduction in R&D expenditure in our
Generics business following a detailed review of our R&D
pipeline, which reprioritised high-value products and identified
opportunities for cost savings and efficiencies. An additional $7
million of product-related investment was capitalised on the
balance sheet in 2017. This related to product development
investments with third party partners in the US to support growth
of our Generics and Injectables business. The combined core R&D
expense and product-related investment for the Group was $121
million (6% of Group revenue), compared with $139 million (7% of
Group revenue) in 2016.
Other net operating expenses were $1,118 million in 2017,
compared with $69 million in 2016. Excluding exceptional items of
$1,072 million, primarily related to the impairment of West-Ward
Columbus, other net operating expenses were $46 million, down from
$81 million in 2016.
The Group reported an operating loss of $747 million in 2017,
compared to a reported operating profit of $302 million in 2016.
Excluding the impact of amortisation and exceptional items, core
Group operating profit decreased by 8% to $386 million and core
operating margin was 19.9%, compared with 21.5% in 2016, reflecting
lower profitability in our Generics and Injectables businesses.
Research and development
The Group's product portfolio continues to grow as a result of
our product development efforts. During 2017, we launched 44 new
compounds(8) . The Group's portfolio now stands at 658
compounds.
Across all businesses and markets, a total of 214 products(9)
were launched during 2017. In addition, the Group received 297
product approvals.
To ensure the continuous development of our product pipeline, we
submitted 226 regulatory filings in 2017 across all regions and
markets. As of 31 December 2017, we had a total of 846 products
pending approval across all regions and markets. At 31 December
2017, we had a total of 147 new compounds under development.

Net finance expense
In 2017, net finance income was $9 million. Excluding non-cash
income of $67 million resulting from the remeasurement of
contingent liabilities, the Group incurred a net finance expense of
$58 million, down from $60 million in 2016. This reduction
primarily reflects a decrease in bank charges and lower debt. In
2018, we expect Group net finance expense to be around $55
million.
Profit/(loss) before tax
The Group reported a loss before tax of $738 million in 2017,
down 451% due to the impairment of the West-Ward Columbus business.
Core profit before tax was $328 million, down 9% compared to
2016.
Tax
The Group incurred a tax expense of $101 million, up from $52
million in 2016 primarily due to a $49 million write-down to our US
deferred tax asset due to new tax regulations in the US described
below. Excluding the tax impact of exceptional items, core Group
tax expense was $72 million in 2017, down from $80 million in 2016.
The core effective tax rate was 22.0%, compared with 22.3% in
2016.
On 22 December 2017, the Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted in the
US, reducing the statutory rate of US federal corporate income tax
to 21%. As a result, Hikma's measurement of its US deferred tax
assets has reduced by $49 million. Going forward, we expect the
reduction in the statutory US federal rate to reduce Hikma's
effective tax rate, which we now expect will be in the range of 21%
to 22% in 2018.
Profit/(loss) attributable to shareholders
Loss attributable to shareholders was $843 million, compared
with profit of $155 million in 2016. Core profit attributable to
shareholders decreased by 9% to $252 million, compared with $276
million in 2016.
Earnings per share
Basic loss per share was 351.3 cents in 2017, compared to basic
earnings per share of 66.5 cents in 2016. Core basic earnings per
share decreased by 11% to 105.0 cents, compared with 118.5 cents in
2016. Core diluted earnings per share decreased by 11% to 104.6
cents, compared with 117.9 cents in 2016.
Dividend
The Board is recommending a final dividend of 23 cents per share
(approximately 16 pence per share) bringing the total dividend for
the full year to 34 cents per share (approximately 24 pence), up
from 33 cents per share in 2016. The proposed dividend will be paid
on 24 May 2018 to shareholders on the register on 6 April 2018,
subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on 18 May
2018.
Net cash flow, working capital and net debt
The Group generated operating cash flow of $443 million in 2017,
compared with $293 million in 2016. In 2016, Group operating cash
flow was negatively impacted by the investment in working capital
required to support West-Ward Columbus following the acquisition in
February 2016. Group working capital days were 225 days at December
2017, down from 240 days at December 2016, primarily driven by an
improvement in receivables in the US, following the integration of
West-Ward Columbus.(13)
Capital expenditure was $107 million, compared with $122 million
in 2016. Of this, around $67 million was spent in the US to expand
the manufacturing capacity and capabilities of our Injectables and
Generics businesses. In the MENA region, around $25 million was
spent to maintain and upgrade our equipment and facilities across a
number of markets. Approximately $15 million was spent in Europe,
building our dedicated oncology facility in Portugal. We expect
Group capital expenditure in the range of $120 million to $140
million in 2018.
The Group's net debt (excluding co-development agreements and
contingent liabilities) stood at $546 million at the end of
December 2017, compared with $697 million at the end of December
2016.(14) The reduction reflects the increase in cash flow from
operations.
Balance sheet
Net assets at 31 December 2017 were $1,528 million, compared to
$2,411 million at 31 December 2016. The decrease in net assets
reflects the impairment of the West-Ward Columbus business.(15) Net
current assets were $777 million, compared to $530 million at 31
December 2016.
Outlook
We expect Injectables revenue in 2018 will be in the range of
$750 million to $800 million, as increased competition in the US is
offset by new launches and continued growth in the MENA and Europe.
We expect core Injectables operating margin to return to more
normalised levels in the low to mid 30's in 2018, reflecting the
expected change in product mix.
In our Generics business, we are actively pursuing new
commercial opportunities and focusing on the execution of our
pipeline to help offset continuing price erosion. We are also
identifying further cost savings for this business, which will
include the consolidation of our non-injectables manufacturing
operations and distribution centres in the US. We expect Generics
revenues in 2018 will be in the range of $550 million to $600
million and core Generics operating margin in the low single digits
before adjusting for lower depreciation related to the impairment
taken in 2017.
We expect Branded revenue growth in constant currency in the
mid-single digits as we benefit from new launches of our branded
generics and in-licensed products across our key markets. As in
2017, we expect a stronger second half, reflecting the usual
seasonality of this business.
Across the Group, we are focused on delivering value from our
marketed products, investing in our pipeline and enhancing the
efficiency of our operations, to ensure we are well positioned for
future growth.

By order of the Board
Said Darwazah Khalid Nabilsi
Executive Chairman Chief Financial Officer
14 March 2018
Cautionary statement
This preliminary announcement has been prepared solely to
provide additional information to the shareholders of Hikma and
should not be relied on by any other party or for any other
purpose.
Definitions
We use a number of non-IFRS measures to report and monitor the
performance of our business. Management uses these adjusted numbers
internally to measure our progress and for setting performance
targets. We also present these numbers, alongside our reported
results, to external audiences to help them understand the
underlying performance of our business. Our adjusted numbers may be
calculated differently to other companies.
Adjusted measures are not substitutable for IFRS numbers and
should not be considered superior to results presented in
accordance with IFRS.
Core results
Reported results represent the Group's overall performance.
However, these results can include one-off or non-cash items that
mask the underlying performance of the Group. To provide a more
complete picture of the Group's performance to external audiences,
we provide, alongside our reported results, core results, which are
a non-IFRS measure. Reconciliation between core and adjusted
results are provided in our Financial Statements.
Our core results exclude the exceptional items and other
adjustments set out in Note 4.
Constant currency
As the majority of our business is conducted in the US, we
present our results in US dollars. For both our Branded and
Injectable businesses, a proportion of their sales are denominated
in a currency other than the US dollar. In order to illustrate the
underlying performance of these businesses, we include information
on our results in constant currency.
Constant currency numbers in 2017 represent reported 2017
numbers re-stated using average exchange rates in 2016, excluding
price increased in the Branded business which resulted from the
devaluation of currencies.
Working capital days
We believe Group working capital days provides a useful measure
of the Group's working capital management and liquidity. Group
working capital days are calculated as Group receivable days plus
Group inventory days, less Group payable days. Group receivable
days are calculated as Group trade receivables x 365, divided by
trailing 12 months Group revenue.
Group net debt
We believe Group net debt is a useful measure of the strength of
the Group's financing position. Group net debt is calculated as
Group total debt less Group total cash. Group total debt excludes
co-development agreements and contingent liabilities.
Forward looking statements
This announcement contains certain statements which are, or may
be deemed to be, "forward looking statements" which are prospective
in nature with respect to Hikma's expectations and plans, strategy,
management objectives, future developments and performance, costs,
revenues and other trend information. All statements other than
statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of forward looking words such as "intends", "believes",
"anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "forecasts", "targets",
"aims", "budget", "scheduled" or words or terms of similar
substance or the negative thereof, as well as variations of such
words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or
results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be
taken, occur or be achieved.
By their nature, forward looking statements are based on current
expectations and projections about future events and are therefore
subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are beyond
Hikma's ability to control or estimate precisely and which could
cause actual results or events to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Where
included, such statements have been made by or on behalf of Hikma
in good faith based upon the knowledge and information available to
the Directors on the date of this announcement. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that any particular expectation will be met
and Hikma's shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements
contained in this announcement regarding past trends or activities
should not be taken as a representation that such trends or
activities will continue in the future.
Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory
obligations (including under the Market Abuse Regulation ((EU) No.
596/2014) and the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority), Hikma does
not undertake to update the forward looking statements contained in
this announcement to reflect any changes in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based or to correct
any inaccuracies which may become apparent in such forward looking
statements. Except as expressly provided in this announcement, no
forward looking or other statements have been reviewed by the
auditors of Hikma. All subsequent oral or written forward looking
statements attributable to the Hikma or any of its members,
directors, officers or employees or any person acting on their
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statement above. Past share performance cannot be relied on as a
guide to future performance. Nothing in this announcement should be
construed as a profit forecast.
Neither the content of Hikma's website nor any other website
accessible by hyperlinks from Hikma's website are incorporated in,
or form part of, this announcement.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group faces risks and uncertainties that could have a
material impact on its earnings and ability to trade in the future.
These are determined via robust assessment considering our risk
context by the Board of Directors with input from executive
management. These risks and uncertainties are set out below. The
contents of this table should not be considered as an exhaustive
list of all the risks and uncertainties the Group faces.
The Board is satisfied that these risks are being managed
appropriately and consistently with the target risk appetite.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1.Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2017
or 2016, but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for
2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those
for 2017 will be delivered following the Company's annual general
meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their
reports were unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by
way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain
statements under S498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. Hikma
Pharmaceuticals PLC's consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements have also been
prepared in accordance with IFRSs adopted for use in the European
Union and therefore comply with Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulation.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, except for the revaluation to market of certain
financial assets and liabilities. The preliminary announcement is
based on the Company's financial statements. The Group's previously
published financial statements were also prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards. These
International Financial Reporting Standards have been subject to
amendment and interpretation by the International Accounting
Standards Board and the financial statements presented for the
years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 have been
prepared in accordance with those revised standards. Unless stated
otherwise, these policies are in accordance with the revised
standards that have been applied throughout the year and prior
years presented in the financial statements. The presentational and
functional currency of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC is the US Dollar
as the majority of the Company's business is conducted in US
Dollars ($).
1. Adoption of new and revised standards
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have
been adopted in the current year. Their adoption has not had any
significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial
statements but may impact the accounting for future transactions
and arrangements.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9
Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9.
IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for
financial instruments project: classification and measurement,
impairment and hedge accounting. The new version of IFRS 9 is
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018,
with early application permitted. Except for hedge accounting,
retrospective application is required; but providing comparative
information is not mandatory. For hedge accounting, the
requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited
exceptions.
The Group plans to adopt the new standard on the effective date
and will not restate comparative information.
(a) Classification and measurement
The Group does not expect a significant impact on its balance
sheet or equity upon applying the classification and measurement
requirements of IFRS 9.
Loans as well as trade receivables are generally held to collect
contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows
solely representing payments of principal and interest. The Group
believes that the contractual cash flow characteristics of those
instruments meet the criteria for amortised cost measurement under
IFRS 9 and any reclassification of these instruments is estimated
to be minimal.
(b) Impairment
IFRS 9 requires the Group to record expected credit losses on
all of its debt securities, loans and trade receivables, either on
a 12-month or lifetime basis. The Group will apply the simplified
approach and record lifetime expected losses on all trade
receivables and will not restate comparative information. During
2017, the Group has performed an impact assessment of IFRS 9 to
estimate the additional provision to be recorded resulting from the
expected credit loss from its trade receivables and anticipated no
significant change in level of impairment recognised compared to
that based on current procedures.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
("IFRS 15") in May 2014. Subsequent amendments, "Clarifications to
IFRS 15," were issued in April 2016. Both of these have now been
endorsed by the EU. The new amended standard replaces IAS 18
Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and other existing revenue
interpretations.
IFRS 15 sets out new requirements for recognising revenue and
costs from contracts with customers. In particular, it outlines new
principles for an entity to follow in determining the measurement
and recognition of revenue using a five-step model. This model
requires revenue to be recognised when or as goods or services are
transferred to customers based on the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled.
The new standard is required to be applied by the Group from 1
January 2018 and hence IFRS 15 will be adopted in the financial
statements for the year ending 31 December 2018.
While our assessment remains ongoing, from work performed to
date, which has included a detailed review of some of our largest
customer contracts:
- As the majority of the Group's revenues are derived from the
supply of goods, (i.e. a single performance obligation), the
transition to IFRS 15 is not anticipated to have a significant
impact on the Group's revenue recognition (including the approach
applied under IAS 18 for estimating chargebacks, returns, rebates
and price adjustments); and
- it is currently anticipated that the standard will be adopted
on a modified retrospective basis.
It is, though, noted that the Group's current accounting policy
to defer revenue recognition in isolated circumstances where
dynamic market circumstances mean that the ultimate net selling
price cannot be reliably measured (as currently applied under IAS
18), will need to be revised. IFRS 15 requires variable
consideration to be included in the transaction price (albeit only
to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not
occur). As the Group has rarely deferred revenue under IAS 18 on
the basis of being unable to reliably measure the ultimate net
selling price, this change in the Group's stated accounting policy
is not anticipated to give rise to a significant difference.
2. Going concern
The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial
statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group
have adequate resources to continue in operational existence and
therefore considered the going concern basis as appropriate.
Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the financial statements.
3. Business and geographical segments
For management reporting purposes, the Group is organised into
three principal operating divisions - Injectables, Generics and
Branded. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports
its segmental information.
Operating profit, defined as segment result, is the principal
measure used in the decision-making and resource allocation process
of the chief operating decision maker, who is the Group's Chief
Executive Officer.
Information regarding the Group's operating segments is reported

UK corporation tax is calculated at 19.25% (2016: 20.0%) of the
estimated assessable profit made in the UK for the year.
The Group incurred a tax expense of $101 million (2016: $52
million). The effective tax (credit)/charge rate is (13.7%), (2016:
24.8%). The reduction in the effective tax rate largely reflects
the impairment booked during the year.
Taxation for all jurisdictions is calculated at the rates
prevailing in the respective jurisdiction.
The charge for the year can be reconciled to loss before tax per
the consolidated income statement as follows:

Profit taxed at different tax rates relates to profits arising
in overseas jurisdictions where the tax rate differs from the UK
statutory rate.
Permanent differences relate to items which are non-taxable or
no tax relief is ever likely to be due. The major items are
differences in GAAP between IFRS and local territory GAAP, expenses
and income disallowed where they are covered by statutory
exemptions, foreign exchange differences in some territories and
statutory reliefs such as R&D and manufacturing tax
credits.
Temporary differences for which no benefit is recognised
includes items on which it is not possible to book deferred tax and
comprise mainly unrecognised tax losses. The tax losses have mainly
arisen from the impairment of the West-Ward Columbus. Management
has not recognised a benefit for the losses on the basis that there
are insufficient forecasted taxable profits in the foreseeable
future.
The change in provision for uncertain tax provisions relates to
the provisions the Group holds in the event of a revenue authority
successfully taking an adverse view of the positions adopted by the
Group in 2017 and primarily relates to a transfer pricing
adjustment.
Prior year adjustments include differences between the tax
liability recorded in the tax returns submitted for previous years
and estimated tax provision reported in a prior period's financial
statements. This category also includes adjustments (favourable or
adverse) in respect of uncertain tax positions following agreement
of the tax returns with the relevant tax authorities.
US tax reform
The impact of the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 has been
restricted to the reduction of the US deferred tax asset, as a
result of the fall in the federal corporate income tax rate from
35% to 21%, by $49 million.
State Aid
The Group is monitoring developments in relation to the EU's
State Aid investigations, in particular, the EU Commission's
announcement in October 2017 that it will be opening a State Aid
investigation into the Group Financing Exemption of the UK's
Controlled Foreign Company ("CFC") legislation. This exemption was
introduced by the UK Government in 2013. In common with other UK
based international companies that have arrangements in line with
the UK's current CFC legislation, Hikma is potentially affected by
the outcome of this investigation. The Group does not currently
consider any provision is required in relation to EU State Aid. As
with all uncertain tax positions, the assessment of risk is
subjective and involves significant management judgement. The
judgement is based on management's understanding of legislation,
experience and professional advice taken on the matters.
Publication of tax strategy
The new UK requirement for large UK businesses to publish their
tax strategy came into effect in 2017. Hikma's tax strategy has
been made available on the Group's website.

----------------------------------------------- ----- -----
The proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017
is 23.0 cents (2016: 22.0 cents).
The proposed final dividend is subject to approval by
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2018 and has
not been included as a liability in these financial statements.
Based on the number of shares in issue at 31 December 2017
(240,678,894), the unrecognised liability is $55 million.
7. Earnings/(loss) per share
Earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted

*Goodwill recognised as part of the West-Ward Columbus and EUP
transactions in 2016.
In 2017, the Group recorded a total intangible impairment charge
of $924 million related to goodwill of $407 million,
product-related intangibles of $505 million and software of $12
million. Of this amount $920 million relates to the impairment of
the intangible assets related to West-Ward Columbus (note 4).
Of the $924 million impairment recorded, $35 million was
recorded in the first half and the remaining $889 million was
recorded in the second half.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated at
acquisition to the cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected
to benefit from that business combination. The carrying amount of
goodwill has been allocated as follows:

Total 282 682
--------------------- --------- ---------
In accordance with the Group policy, goodwill is tested annually
for impairment during the fourth quarter or more frequently if
there are indications that goodwill may be impaired.
Details related to the discounted cash flow models used in the
impairment tests of the CGUs are as follows:

Considering the unfavourable industry developments impacting the
Generics' business during the second half of 2017, Hikma recorded
an impairment charge of $407 million against the West-Ward Columbus
goodwill.
West-Ward Columbus CGU: Over the second half of 2017, Hikma
noted ongoing and difficult market conditions in the US generics
market, driven primarily by:
-- Pricing challenges due to customer consolidation.
-- Increasing generic approvals affecting the value in use of
already marketed products and the potential of future launches.
-- Delays in generic approvals of more complex products.
As a result of these factors discussed, Hikma adjusted certain
assumptions used in its cash flow projections to determine the
value in use of the West-Ward Columbus CGU. More specifically, in
comparison with previous periods, Hikma expects lower revenues and
profitability from newly launched products as well as higher price
erosion on its currently marketed portfolio. The outlook for
West-Ward Columbus revenue and profitability over the medium term
is lower than previously expected.
In performing the impairment test for the West-Ward Columbus
CGU, an additional impairment charge of $269 million above the
amount of impairment of the goodwill and stand-alone IPR&D and
Product Rights was required. In accordance with IFRS, such excess
was allocated pro rata to the remaining non-current asset of the
CGU.
The impairment charge was the result comparing the estimated
value in use of the CGU based on its discounted cash flow model to
the carrying value of the CGU. The key sensitivities in determining
the value in use, and the potential impact on the impairment charge
were as follows:
Low* High*
--------------- ------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------
Terminal
Growth 2% per year into
rate perpetuity 1% change 44 (57)
--------------- ------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------
Discount 10.5% post tax,

-------------------------------------------------------- ------------- ------
Terminal Based on five-year
year margins average 5% change 192 (188)
--------------- ------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------
*Represents the low and high end of the range of change in the
impairment charge based on the sensitivity variant.
The discount rate is expected to reduce over time as any
risk-premium associated with the acquisition should reduce. Also,
any change in expected product launch dates is likely to result in
potential operational changes which could mitigate any potential
impairment charges.
Other CGUs: The Group also performed its annual goodwill
impairment test on a quantitative basis of the Branded and
Injectables CGU's. The Group conducted a sensitivity analysis on
the impairment of each CGU's carrying value. Although the Directors
have concluded sufficient headroom* exists for both of these CGU's,
there is a reasonable possibility that changes to the key
assumptions could result in impairment. The most uncertain
assumptions are sales growth and the discount rate. We have
performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions affecting the
valuation for both the Branded and Injectables CGUs and have
determined that sufficient headroom exists. Specifically, an
evaluation of the valuation of the CGU was made assuming an
increase of 1% in the discount rate, or a 5% decline in the
forecasted net sales, or a 5% decline in the gross margins in the
terminal year, or a 1% decline in the terminal growth rate and in
all cases sufficient headroom exists.
Whilst there is some uncertainty regarding the short-term impact
of the political events in the MENA, the Group does not consider
that the likelihood of impairment losses in the long-term has
increased.
* Headroom is defined as the excess of the higher of fair value
and the value in use, compared to the carrying value of a CGU.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets with a net book value of $503 million at
December 31, 2017 (2016: $1,037 million) consists of In-Process
Research and Development (IPR&D) of $223 million (2016: $547
million), product rights of $159 million (2016: $375 million) and
other intangible assets of $121 million (2016: $115 million).
The majority of the Group's product related intangible assets
are marketed in the US region, whereby the carrying value of
individually significant assets within the product-related
intangibles are presented below:

$m $m
------------------- ----- ------------------
Generic Advair(R) 138* 306
------------------- ----- ------------------
* Amount is lower than the stand-alone asset value of $206
million as a result of a $68 million allocation of the excess CGU
impairment as discussed above.
IPR&D: During the first half of 2017, certain triggering
events occurred and required the Group to perform tests for
impairment. Such events included continued pricing pressure and
increased competition on a number of products and delays in product
launches, resulting in a reduced forecast of future net cash
inflows compared to previous forecasts. The Group recorded
impairment charges of $35 million for other intangible assets using
a value-in-use model in the first half of 2017.
As of 31 December 2017, Hikma performed an analysis and
valuation of the Generic Advair(R) and the related contingent
consideration using a discounted cash flow model based on a
probability weighting of a number of different potential scenarios,
including the expected launch date and the number of competitors at
the time of launch. As a result, a total impairment charge of $168
million was recorded in the second half of 2017 after considering
the pro-rata allocation of the excess CGU impairment. The key
sensitivities in the valuation of this IPR&D asset and the
impact on the valuation of the asset are as follows:

As of 31 December 2017, the Group performed its annual review of
other IPR&D assets acquired as part of the West-Ward Columbus
and Bedford acquisitions. The result of this testing was a further
impairment charge of $177 million for the West-Ward Columbus
IPR&D. The impairment charge was based upon updated forecasts
and future development plans, compared with the carrying values.
The updated values were determined based upon detailed valuations
employing the value in use approach. The valuations reflect, among
other things, the impact of changes to development programs, the
projected development and regulatory time frames and the current
competitive environment. Any future change to these assumptions may
result in further reduction to the estimated fair values of these
IPR&D assets and could result in additional impairment charges.
We performed sensitivity analysis on the remaining $85 million of
indefinite life IPR&D (other than Generic Advair(R) discussed
above) on the key assumptions affecting the valuation and have
determined that sufficient headroom exists. Specifically evaluated
an increase of 1% in the discount rate, or a 5% decline is the
forecasted net sales, or a 5% decline in the gross margins in the
terminal year, or a 1% decline in the terminal growth rate and in
all cases no additional impairment was necessary.
Based on the new estimates incorporating all of the above
factors, an impairment charge of $345 million, including for
Generic Advair(R) above, was recorded in the second half of 2017
for IPR&D products.
Product Rights: Whenever impairment indicators are identified
for definite life intangible assets, Hikma reconsiders the asset's
estimated life, calculates the undiscounted value of the assets or
asset group's cash flows and compares such value against the
asset's or asset group's carrying amount. If the carrying amount is
greater, Hikma records an impairment loss for the excess of book
value over valuation based on the discounted cash flows by applying
an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors
associated with the cash flow streams. The more significant
estimates and assumptions inherent in the estimate of the value in
use of identifiable intangible assets include all assumptions
associated with forecasting product profitability.
In the second half of 2017, due to the challenges impacted the
US generics market, discussed above, an impairment charge of $123
million was recorded for product rights.
Other Intangible assets:
Software: Software intangibles mainly represent the Enterprise
Resource Planning solutions that are being implemented in different
operations across the Group in addition to other software
applications. The software has an average estimated useful life
that varies from three to ten years. As noted above, $12 million of
the West-Ward Columbus CGU impairment charge was allocated to
software intangibles.
Customer relationships: Customer relationships represent the
value attributed to existing direct customers that the Group
acquired on the acquisition of subsidiaries. The customer
relationships have an average estimated useful life of 15 years
(2016: 15 years).
Trade name: Trade names were mainly recognised on the
acquisition of Hikma Germany GmbH (Germany) and Promopharm with
estimated useful lives of 10 years.
Marketing rights are amortised over their useful lives
commencing in the year in which the rights are ready for use with
estimated useful lives that varies from 2 to 10 years.
Other acquisition related: This mainly represents intangible
assets recognised on the acquisition of Thymoorgan, which relate to
its specialist manufacturing capabilities. The estimated useful
life is 12 years.
Amortisation of all intangible assets with finite useful lives
is charged on a straight-line basis.
As at 31 December 2017, the Group had entered into contractual
commitments for the acquisition of intangible assets of $5 million
(2016: $19 million).
