-- Net debt reduced to $501 million (31 Dec 2017: $546 million)
and healthy leverage ratios maintained
-- Interim dividend of 12 cents per share, up from 11 cents per share
-- Guidance raised for Injectables and Generics businesses and reiterated for Branded business
Siggi Olafsson, Chief Executive Officer of Hikma, said:
"I am pleased with our first half performance, with each of our
three business segments achieving revenue and, importantly, profit
growth.
Our Injectables business continues to demonstrate resilience.
Our broad portfolio, extensive manufacturing capabilities and
geographic footprint are enabling us to respond quickly to changing
market dynamics and grow our market share. In our Generics
business, we are successfully driving demand for our more
differentiated in-market products and are making progress reducing
our cost base. We achieved good results in the Branded business,
taking into consideration the usual seasonality.
In the first half, we renewed our focus on advancing our
pipeline, enhancing our corporate R&D team and accelerating new
projects. More broadly, we are strengthening key functions across
the Group and bringing new capabilities to ensure we have the right
teams in place to take the business forward.
Our performance in the first half exceeded our expectations and
we are pleased to be able to raise our guidance for both our
Injectables and Generics businesses for the full year.
The measures we have taken and investments we have made across
the Group over the past year are delivering results, but we still
have work to do. Our markets are competitive and we don't expect
the same demand for some of our injectable products to continue
into 2019. This means we must remain focused on strengthening our
customer relationships, improving profitability and advancing our
pipeline to ensure future growth."

Generics and Branded, for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

In H1 2018, global Injectables revenue increased by 14% to $414
million. In constant currency, global Injectables revenue was up
13%.
Of this total, US Injectables revenue was $312 million, up 10%
(H1 2017: $283 million). As expected, revenue from top products
declined in the first half as competition continued to accelerate.
This was more than offset by strong demand for our other in-market
products and recent product launches. In the first half, US
hospitals faced a critical shortage of certain pain management
products when a significant supplier to the US market temporarily
ceased manufacturing. In response to this shortage, we leveraged
the scale and flexibility of our operations to prioritise the
manufacturing of affected products. It is not clear how long these
shortages will persist and we don't expect to see the same level of
demand continue into 2019.
MENA Injectables revenue was $51 million in H1 2018, up 46% (H1
2017: $35 million). In constant currency, MENA Injectables revenue
increased by 49%, reflecting a strong performance in Saudi Arabia,
our largest market, and a significant increase in sales for our
biosimilar product, Remsima(R) , which we have now launched in six
markets.
European Injectables revenue was $51 million in H1 2018, up 16%
(H1 2017: $44 million). Before the appreciation of the euro against
the US dollar, European Injectables revenue increased by 3%,
reflecting the contribution from recently acquired products.
Injectables gross profit increased to $260 million in H1 2018
(H1 2017: $228 million). Gross margin remained relatively stable at
62.8% (H1 2017: 63.0%). A decline in gross margin in the US, due to
the change in product mix, was mostly offset by strong margin
improvement in Europe and MENA, reflecting the appreciation of the
euro and an improving product mix, respectively.
Core operating profit, which excludes the amortisation of
intangible assets other than software and exceptional items of $13
million, was $173 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $144 million). Core
operating margin increased to 41.8% (H1 2017: 39.8%), reflecting a
continued focus on efficient operations, which more than offset
additional costs associated with strengthening the management team
in the US.
During H1 2018, the Injectables business launched nine products
in the US, 16 in MENA and 17 in Europe. We submitted 38 filings to
regulatory authorities across all markets.
In H1 2018, we signed a licensing agreement with Laboratorios
Farmaceúticos Rovi SA (Rovi) for their enoxaparin. Under the terms
of the agreement, we have the exclusive rights to distribute and
market enoxaparin across our MENA markets.
We now expect full year Injectables revenue to be in the range
of $775 million to $825 million and core operating margin for the
full year to be in the mid to high 30s. This assumes core operating
margin normalises in the second half.

While the US generics market remains competitive, we are
gradually seeing the benefits of the commercial and operational
improvements we have rolled-out over the past year. In the first
half, Generics revenue was up 11% to $338 million (H1 2017: $305
million), as price erosion was offset by increased demand for our
more differentiated in-market products and new product
launches.
Generics gross profit was $123 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $119
million). Excluding the impact of severance costs associated with
the previously announced restructuring of our Columbus
manufacturing facility and closure of our Eatontown manufacturing
facility, core gross profit was $128 million (H1 2017: $121
million). Gross margin was 36.3% (H1 2017: 39.0%), and core gross
margin decreased to 37.9% (H1 2017: 39.7%), reflecting price
erosion and a change in product mix. We expect gross margin to
improve in the second half, in part due to cost savings related to
the consolidation of our manufacturing and distribution
facilities.
Core Generics operating profit, which excludes the amortisation
of intangible assets other than software and exceptional items of
$24 million, increased to $30 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $21
million). This primarily reflects the increase in gross profit and
a reduction in research and development (R&D) expenses,
partially offset by an increase in product-related legal expenses.
The reduction in R&D expenses was due to the timing of projects
and we expect a step-up in spending in the second half of the year.
Core operating margin was 8.8% (H1 2017: 6.9%).
During H1 2018, the Generics business launched three products,
including ritonavir, the first AB-rated generic to Norvir(R)
tablets, and methylergonovine maleate tablets, through a
partnership with Granules Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. The
Generics business also submitted six filings to regulatory
authorities.
We initiated a repeat clinical endpoint study for generic Advair
Diskus(R) during H1 2018(4) . The study is proceeding as planned
and we expect to submit a response to the FDA with the new clinical
data as early as possible in 2019.
We now expect Generics full year revenue to be in the range of
$600 million to $650 million and core operating margin to be in the
mid to high single digits.

On a reported basis, Branded revenue was $232 million, up 4% (H1
2017: $223 million). On a constant currency basis, Branded revenue
increased 5% to $234 million.
In our largest market, the GCC, which includes Saudi Arabia and
the UAE, our businesses delivered a good performance, with revenue
up 7%. In Egypt, our second largest market, revenue grew 31% in
constant currency due to strong underlying market growth, an
improvement in our product mix and new product launches. In
Algeria, our third largest market, revenue decreased 14% in
constant currency, as we temporarily closed one of our general
formulation facilities for upgrades. We expect sales to improve in
Algeria in the second half of the year as capacity comes back on
line. Revenue from in-licensed products represented 38% of Branded
revenue (H1 2017: 40%).
During H1 2018, the Branded business launched 36 products and
submitted 59 filings to regulatory authorities.
Branded gross profit was $116 million, up 10% and gross margin
was 50.0% (H1 2017: 47.1%). In constant currency, gross profit
increased by 11% and gross margin increased to 50.1% (H1 2017:
47.2%) due to growth in sales and an allowance from a supplier to
compensate for changing market dynamics.
Core operating profit, which excludes the amortisation of
intangibles of $3 million, was $45 million, up 10% (H1 2017: $41
million), and core operating margin was 19.4%. In constant
currency, core operating profit grew 10% and core operating margin
increased to 19.4%, up 100 basis points. This improvement in
profitability reflects the increase in gross profit, partially
offset by an expected increase in sales and marketing expenses.
In H1 2018, we entered into a new partnership agreement with
Omega Pharma Trading NV, an affiliate of Perrigo Company PLC
(Perrigo), one of the largest providers of over-the-counter (OTC)
healthcare solutions in Europe. Under the terms of the agreement,
we have the exclusive right to license and distribute more than 30
consumer healthcare products across the MENA, with the exception of
current agreements in place. In addition, we have the right of
first refusal to the full range of Perrigo's OTC medicines in the
region.
In line with the usual seasonality, we expect Branded revenues
to be higher in the second half of the year and we continue to
expect full year Branded revenue growth in constant currency to be
in the mid-single digits as we benefit from new launches of our
branded generics and in-licensed products.
Other businesses
Other businesses, which is primarily comprised of Arab Medical
Containers, a manufacturer of plastic specialised medicinal sterile
containers, and International Pharmaceuticals Research Centre,
which conducts bio-equivalency studies, contributed revenue of $5
million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $5 million). These other businesses
made an operating loss of $1 million (H1 2017: $(1) million).
Group
Group revenue was $989 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $895
million). Group gross profit was $500 million (H1 2017: $454
million). Excluding exceptional items related to severance costs in
the US of $5 million, core gross profit was $505 million (H1 2017:
$456 million). Group gross margin was 50.6% and core gross margin
was 51.1% (H1 2017: 50.9%).
Group operating expenses decreased by 4% to $326 million.
Excluding $15 million related to the amortisation of intangible
assets other than software (H1 2017: $24 million) and exceptional
items of $20 million (H1 2017: $37 million), core Group operating
expenses were $291 million (H1 2017: $280 million). The paragraphs
below address the Group's main operating expenses in turn.
Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses were $120 million (H1
2017: $117 million). Excluding the amortisation of intangible
assets other than software and severance costs, core S&M
expenses were $104 million, up 13% due to investment in our Branded
and Injectable S&M teams.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased 7% to
$115 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $107 million), reflecting an
increase in product-related legal expenses in our Generics business
and higher corporate G&A expenses.
R&D expenses were $63 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $63
million). This included $15 million of exceptional items related to
the repeat clinical endpoint study for generic Advair Diskus(R)
.(5) Excluding exceptional items, core R&D expenses were $47
million, down from $60 million. This primarily reflects a reduction
in R&D expenditure in our Generics business following a
detailed review of our R&D pipeline in H2 2017, which
reprioritised high-value products and identified opportunities for
cost savings and efficiencies. We expect investment in R&D will
increase in the second half.
The combined core R&D expense and product-related investment
was 5% of Group revenue(6) compared with 7% of Group revenue in H1
2017.
Other net operating expenses were $28 million in H1 2018 (H1
2017: $54 million). Excluding exceptional items of $3 million, core
other net operating expenses were $25 million (H1 2017: $22
million).
The Group reported operating profit of $174 million in H1 2018
(H1 2017: $113 million). Excluding the impact of amortisation other
than software and exceptional items, core Group operating profit
increased by 22% to $214 million and core operating margin was
21.6% (H1 2017:19.7%), reflecting the strong performance across our
business segments.
Unallocated corporate expenses increased to $33 million in H1
2018 (H1 2017: $29 million), as we strengthened our corporate
functions and launched our refreshed brand. We expect corporate
expenses to increase in the second half, reflecting further
investment in the development of corporate functions, specific
groupwide projects and higher employee benefits.
Research and development
The Group's product portfolio continues to grow due to our
product development efforts. During H1 2018, we had 81 new launches
and received 60 approvals.

To ensure the continuous development of our product pipeline, we
submitted 103 regulatory filings.
Net finance expense
Core net finance expense was down 14% to $24 million (H1 2017:
$28 million), due to lower borrowings. For the full year, we expect
Group net finance expense to be around $55 million. Finance expense
is expected to increase in the second half, reflecting our
expectation of higher MENA sales and related factoring charges.
Profit before tax
The Group reported a profit before tax of $141 million in H1
2018 (H1 2017: $100 million). Core profit before tax was $189
million (H1 2017: $148 million).
Tax
The Group incurred a tax expense of $32 million (H1 2017: $30
million). Excluding the tax impact of exceptional items, core Group
tax expense was $38 million in H1 2018 (H1 2017: $38 million). The
core effective tax rate was 20.1% (H1 2017: 25.7%). The decrease in
the effective tax rate is primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act which was enacted in the US on 22 December 2017, reducing the
statutory rate of US federal corporate income tax to 21%, and a
release of provisions for various uncertain tax positions as the
statute of limitations expired.
We continue to expect the core effective tax rate to be in the
range of 21% to 22% in 2018.
Profit attributable to shareholders
Profit attributable to shareholders was $106 million, compared
with profit of $69 million in H1 2017. Core profit attributable to
shareholders increased by 36% to $148 million, compared with $109
million in H1 2017.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share was 44.0 cents (H1 2017: 28.8 cents).
Core basic earnings per share increased by 35% to 61.4 cents (H1
2017: 45.4 cents). Core diluted earnings per share increased by 35%
to 61.2 cents (H1 2017: 45.2 cents).
Dividend
The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 12 cents per
share (approximately 9.4 pence per share) for H1 2018 (H1 2017: 11
cents per share). The interim dividend will be paid on 21 September
2018 to eligible shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 24 August 2018. The ex-dividend date is 23 August 2018
and the final date for currency elections is 7 September 2018.
Net cash flow, working capital and net debt
The Group generated operating cash flow of $185 million in H1
2018 (H1 2017: $225 million), reflecting normalised levels of
working capital. Group working capital days were down eight days to
222 days, primarily driven by an increase in payable days and the
reduction in inventory days.
Capital expenditure was $53 million (H1 2017: $47 million). Of
this, around $28 million was spent in the US to expand the
manufacturing capacity and capabilities of our Generics and
Injectables businesses. In the MENA region, around $16 million was
spent on building a new dedicated oncology facility in Algeria and
upgrading our facilities in Jordan and Algeria to manufacture new
in-licensed products. Approximately $9 million was spent in Europe,
expanding our manufacturing facilities in Portugal, which we expect
to complete in the second half of the year. We continue to 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 $501 million at the end of June
2018 (31 December 2017: $546 million).(10) The reduction reflects
the paydown of debt during H1 2018. We continue to have a very
strong balance sheet with a net debt to core EBITDA ratio of
0.99.
Balance sheet
Net assets at 30 June 2018 were $1,542 million (31 December
2017: $1,528 million). Net current assets were $731 million (31
December 2017: $777 million).
Outlook
We now expect full year Injectables revenue to be in the range
of $775 million to $825 million and core operating margin for the
full year to be in the mid to high 30s. This assumes core operating
margin normalises in the second half. Over the longer term, we
expect our markets to remain competitive and we do not expect the
same demand for some of our injectable products to continue into
2019.
We now expect Generics full year revenue to be in the range of
$600 million to $650 million and core operating margin to be in the
mid to high single digits.
In line with the usual seasonality, we expect Branded revenues
to be higher in the second half of the year and we continue to
expect full year Branded revenue growth in constant currency to be
in the mid-single digits as we benefit from new launches of our
branded generics and in-licensed products.

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 core 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 reported
results is provided in the table below. Our core results exclude
the exceptional items and other adjustments set out in Note 4.

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 H1 2018 represent reported H1 2018
numbers re-stated using average exchange rates in H1 2017,
excluding price increases in the 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 principal risks and uncertainties have not changed from 31
December 2017. It is not anticipated that the nature of the
principal risks and uncertainties that affect the business, which
are set out on pages 61 to 64 of the 2017 Annual Report, will
change in respect to the second six months of the financial year.
Further information on our key risk management and assurance
process are set out on pages 59 to 60 of the 2017 Annual
Report.
A summary of the principal risks and uncertainties listed in the
2017 Annual Report are set out below. Hikma continues to manage
these risks in accordance with our risk appetite.
1. Industry earnings: the commercial viability of the industry
and business model we operate may change significantly as a result
of political action, economic factors, societal pressures,
regulatory interventions or changes to participants in the value
chain of the industry.
2. Product pipeline: identifying, developing and registering
supply of new products from the pipeline that meet market needs to
provide continuous source of future growth.
3. Organisational development: developing, maintaining and
adapting organizational structures, management processes and
controls, and talent pipeline to enable effective delivery by the
business in the face of rapid and constant internal and external
change.
4. Reputation: building and maintaining trusting and successful
partnerships with our many stakeholders relies on developing and
sustaining our reputation as one of our most valuable assets.
5. Ethics and compliance: maintaining a culture underpinned by
ethical decision making, with appropriate internal controls to
ensure staff and third parties comply with our Code of Conduct,
associated principles and standards, as well as all applicable
legislation.
6. Information, technology and infrastructure: ensuring
integrity of data, securing information stored and/or processed
internally or externally, maintaining and developing technology
systems that enable business processes, and in ensuring
infrastructure supports the organisation effectively.
7. Legal, regulatory and intellectual property: adapting to
changes in laws, regulations and their application, managing
litigation, governmental investigations, sanctions, contractual
terms and conditions and potential business disruptions.
8. Inorganic growth: identifying, accurately pricing and/or
realising expected benefits from acquisitions or divestments,
licensing, or other business development activities.
9. Supply chain and API sourcing: maintaining continuity of
supply of finished product and managing cost, quality and
appropriate oversight of third parties in our supply chain. API and
raw materials represent one of the Group's largest cost components.
As is typical in the pharmaceuticals industry, a significant
proportion of the Group's API requirements is provided by a small
number of API suppliers.
10. Crisis response and continuity management: preparedness,
response, continuity and recovery from crisis events such as
natural catastrophe, economic turmoil, operational issues,
political crisis, regulatory intervention.
11. Product quality: maintaining compliance with current Good
Practices for Manufacturing (cGMP), Laboratory (cGLP), Distribution
(cGDP) and pharmacovigilance (GVP) by staff, and ensuring
compliance is maintained by all relevant third parties involved in
these processes.
12. Financial control and reporting: effectively managing
treasury activities, tax position, income, expenditure, assets and
liabilities, and debtors, and in reporting accurately and in a
timely manner in compliance with statutory requirements and
accounting standards.

Independent review report to Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC
Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC's condensed
consolidated interim financial statements (the "interim financial
statements") in the Interim Results Press Release of Hikma
Pharmaceuticals PLC for the six month period ended 30 June 2018.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes
us to believe that the interim financial statements are not
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial
Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
What we have reviewed
The interim financial statements comprise:
-- the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2018;
-- the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement
of comprehensive income for the period then ended;
-- the consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended;
-- the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and
-- the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements included in the Interim Results
Press Release have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted
by the European Union and as issued by IASB and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 2 to the interim financial statements, the
financial reporting framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is
applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and as issued by the
IASB.
Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the
review
Our responsibilities and those of the Directors
The Interim Results Press Release, including the interim
financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for
preparing the Interim Results Press Release in accordance with the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim
financial statements in the Interim Results Press Release based on
our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been
prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying
with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of
the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other
purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume
responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom
this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where
expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
What a review of interim financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and,
consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in
an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We have read the other information contained in the Interim
Results Press Release and considered whether it contains any
apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
information in the interim financial statements.

1. General information
Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC is "the Company" a public limited
liability company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales
under the Companies Act 2006. The registered office address is 1
New Burlington Place, London W1S 2HR, UK.
The Group's principal activities are the development,
manufacturing, marketing and selling of a broad range of generic,
branded and in-licensed pharmaceuticals products in solid,
semi-solid, liquid and injectable final dosage forms.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2017 does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 435 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for 2017 have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report
on those accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any
matters by way of emphasis and did not contain any statement under
Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Accounting policies
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements "financial statements" for the six months ended 30 June
2018 have been prepared using the same accounting policies and on a
basis consistent with the audited financial statements of Hikma
Pharmaceuticals PLC (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December
2017, except for the adoption of new standards effective from 1
January 2018.The Group has not opted for the early-adoption of any
standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but not
yet effective.
Basis of preparation
The currency used in the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements is the US Dollar ($) as the majority of the
Group's business is conducted in US Dollars.
These financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018
have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS
34,"Interim financial reporting", as adopted by the EU and as
issued by the IASB. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs
issued by the IASB and the IFRSs adopted by the EU.
Adoption of new and revised standards
The Group applied, for the first time, IFRS 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. These
new Standards have not had a significant impact on the reported
results.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first
time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the financial statements
of the Group.
IFRS 15
IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' is effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and
replaces existing accounting standards. It provides enhanced detail
on the principle of recognising revenue to reflect the transfer of
goods and services to customers at a value which the Company
expects to be entitled to receive. The standard also updates
revenue disclosure requirements.
The key revenue recognition policy impacted under IFRS 15 is the
accounting of free goods. Previously free goods were recorded at
cost only and no transaction price was allocated to the free goods
revenue. Under IFRS 15 an option to acquire additional goods or
services gives rise to a separate performance obligation, if the
option provides a material right that the customer would not
receive without entering into that contract. IFRS 15 requires
management to estimate the transaction price to be allocated to the
separate performance obligations and to recognise a contract
liability for the performance obligations that will be satisfied in
the future. The Group recognises revenue for the option when those
future goods or services are transferred to the customer.
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 applying modified retrospective
approach on 1 January 2018 with a cumulative adjustment as an
increase to other current liabilities of $27 million, increase of
trade receivables by $1 million, tax adjustments of $2 million and
the corresponding net adjustment to decrease retained earnings by
$25 million. There is no restatement to prior periods as permitted
in the transition rules for IFRS 15. The impact of initial
application has resulted in the deferral of revenues that had
previously been recognised.
IFRS 9
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all
three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments:
classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge
accounting.
Classification
The principal impact is that the portfolio investments (quoted
securities portfolio) previously designated as available for sale
financial assets have been re-categorised on initial application as
Investments fair valued through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Group
will record fair value movements for such investments through the
consolidated income statement from 1 January 2018.
Upon transition the available for sale reserve relating to
quoted equity securities of $1 million, which had been previously
recognised under accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI), was
reclassified to retained earnings.
Furthermore, fair value movements on other un-quoted equity
investments (i.e. venture capital investments) are continued to be
recorded in other comprehensive income. There will be no future
recycling of such gains and losses to the consolidated income
statement. This category only includes equity instruments, which
the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and which the
Group has irrevocably elected to classify upon transition or
initial recognition as equity instruments designated as measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Under IAS
39, the Group's unquoted equity instruments were classified as
available for sale financial assets.
Impairment
The adoption of IFRS 9 has changed the Group's accounting for
impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IAS 39's
incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss
(ECL) approach.
IFRS 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for ECLs for
all loans and other debt financial assets not held at fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The adoption of the ECL requirements of IFRS 9 resulted in an
increase in impairment allowance of the Group's debt financial
assets.
The Group has adopted IFRS 9 retrospectively, but with certain
permitted exceptions. As a result, prior year results are also not
restated, but a cumulative adjustment as a decrease in trade
receivables and a corresponding adjustment to decrease equity at 1
January 2018 by $3 million has been made.
The other changes introduced in IFRS 9 have not had a
significant impact on the Group.
IFRS 16
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17
'Leases', IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a
Lease', SIC-15 'Operating Leases-Incentives' and SIC-27 'Evaluating
the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal form of a
Lease'.
IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires
lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet
model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17.
The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees -
leases of 'low-value' assets (e.g., personal computers) and
short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or
less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise
a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and
an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during
the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be
required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease
liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use
asset.
Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability
upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease
term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in
an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will
generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease
liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive
disclosures than under IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Early application is permitted. A lessee can choose to apply the
standard using either a full retrospective or a modified
retrospective approach. The standard's transition provisions permit
certain reliefs.
In 2018, the Group will continue to assess the potential effect
of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.
Going concern
The Directors have considered the going concern position of the
Company during the period and at the period end as they have in
previous years. The Directors believe that the Group is well
diversified due to its geographic spread, product diversity and
large customer and supplier base. The Group operates in the
relatively defensive generic pharmaceuticals industry, which the
Directors expect to be less affected by economic downturns compared
to other industries.
The Group's business activity, together with the factors likely
to affect its future development, performance and position are set
out in Interim Result Press Release. The Interim Result Press
Release also includes a summary of financial position, cash flow
and borrowing facilities.
After making enquiries, the Directors believe that the Group is
adequately placed to manage its business and financing risks
successfully despite the current uncertain economic and political
outlook. Having reassessed the principal risks, the Directors
considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the interim financial information.
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.

============ ============
Exceptional items:
-- In H1 2018, Hikma incurred $15 million of R&D costs
related to a repeat clinical endpoint study for generic Advair
Diskus(R). In 2017, Hikma recognised a $29 million contingent
consideration gain from Boehringer Ingelheim as compensation for
failure to receive FDA approval of generic Advair Diskus(R) before
24 December 2017. To obtain approval, the FDA requires the
completion of an additional clinical endpoint study. Both the
compensation and repeat clinical study have been treated as
exceptional items.
-- Acquisition, integration and other costs were incurred in
relation to the acquisition of the Columbus business and the
planned closure of Eatontown, of which $5 million are included in
cost of sales, $1 million in sales and marketing, $1 million in
research and development and $3 million in other operating
expenses.
In previous periods, exceptional items are related to the
following:
-- Impairment of product-related intangible assets were mainly
related to products acquired as part of the Columbus business
acquisition and were included within other operating expenses.
-- Acquisition, integration and other costs were incurred in
relation to the acquisition of the Columbus business and were
included in cost of sales, general and administrative, sales and
marketing, and research and development expenses.
Other Adjustments:
The remeasurement of contingent consideration represents the net
difference resulting from the valuation of the liabilities and
assets associated with the future contingent payments/receivables
in respect of the Columbus business acquisition and the financial
liability in relation to the co-development earnout payment
agreement (note 8,11, 13 and 15). The remeasurement is included in
finance expense/income.
5. Tax
The Group incurred a tax expense of $32 million (H1 2017: $30
million). The reported effective tax rate for the period is 22.7%
(H1 2017: 30.0%), representing the best estimate of the average
annual effective tax rate expected for the full year, applied to
the pre-tax income for the six-month period. The decrease in the
reported effective tax rate is due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
which was enacted in the US, reducing the statutory rate of US
federal corporate income tax to 21%. The release of uncertain tax
positions due to the statute of limitations also caused the H1 2018
rate to decrease.
The application of tax law and practice is subject to some
uncertainty and amounts are provided where the likelihood of a cash
outflow is probable.

17. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included
at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced
or liquidation sale.
The following financial assets/liabilities are presented at
their carrying values which approximates their fair values:
-- Cash and cash equivalents - due to the short-term maturities
of these financial instruments and given that generally they have
negligible credit risk, management considers the carrying amounts
to not be significantly different from their fair values;
-- Short-term loans and overdrafts - approximates the carrying
amount because of the short maturity of these instruments;
-- Long-term loans - loans with variable rates are re-priced in
response to any changes in market rates and so management considers
the carrying amounts to not be significantly different from their
fair market values.
-- Loans with fixed rates relate to the $500 million Eurobond
accounted for at amortised cost. The fair value is determined with
reference to quoted price in an active market on the balance sheet
date (note 14).
-- Receivables and payables - the fair values of receivables and
payables are estimated to be equal to the respective carrying
amounts;
-- Lease obligations - are valued at the present value of the minimum lease payments; and
-- Contingent liability, which results from the acquisition of
the Columbus business, represents a contractual obligation assumed
at the time of the acquisition from a third party and is measured
at cost (note 15).
Management classifies items that are recognised at fair value
based on the level of the inputs used in their fair value
determination as described below:
-- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2: Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
-- Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Financial assets and liabilities that fall under Level 1
are:
-- Investment fair valued through profit or loss amounted to $21 million (note 11).
Financial assets and liabilities that fall under Level 3
are:
-- Co-development and earnout payment liabilities (note 13 and 15); and
-- Contingent consideration asset and liability resulting from
the acquisition of the Columbus business (note 8,11,13 and 15).
-- Investments fair valued through other comprehensive income (note 8).
The following table presents the changes in Level 3 items for
the period ended 30 June 2018 and the year ended 31 December
2017:

*see note 2.
The remeasurement through income statement is included within
the finance expense in the
consolidated income statement.
The critical areas of judgment in relation to the contingent
liability are the probabilities assigned to reaching
the success-based milestones and management's estimate of future
sales.
If the future sales were 5% higher or lower, the fair value of
the contingent liability will increase/decrease by $6 million.
If the probability assigned to reaching the success-based
milestones was 5% higher or lower, the
fair value of the contingent liability would increase/decrease
by $5 million.
18. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Geber health
On 12th March 2018, Hikma Pharmaceuticals Plc ("Hikma") signed
an asset purchase agreement with EURL GeberHealth to acquire the
assets of EURL GeberHealth. The overall cash consideration for the
tangible and intangible assets amounted to $14 million.
This acquisition has been accounted for as per IFRS 3 "business
combination" where a set of activities and assets that is capable
of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a
return exists.
The assets acquired include an oral general formulation facility
located in Algeria. Hikma intends to convert this facility into an
oral cephalosporin facility in order to locally manufacture its
cephalosporin portfolio for the Algerian market. Hikma expects to
be able to launch these locally produced products by the end of
2018.
There was no revenue and profit or loss recognised from this
acquisition during the period given that the assets acquired are
still being developed for their intended use.
The provisional fair value of the assets acquired included
property, plant and equipment of $13 million and intangible assets
of $1 million.
19. Related party balances and transactions
No significant transactions between the Group and its associates
and other related parties were undertaken during the period.
Any transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have
been eliminated on consolidation.
20. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability existed at the balance sheet date in
respect of external guarantees and letters of credit totalling $50
million (31 December 2017: $47 million) arising in the normal
course of business. No provision for these liabilities has been
made in these financial statements.
In 2017 the Group received a subpoena from a US state attorney
general and a subpoena from the US Department of Justice. In 2018
the Group received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US
Department of Justice. All requesting information related to
products, pricing and related communications. Management does not
believe sufficient evidence exists to make any provision for this
currently.
