Avadel Pharmaceuticals Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results
Strong Fourth Quarter Revenues of $43.1 Million Drive Full Year Revenues of $150.2 Million
Reaffirms 2017 Revenue Guidance of $170 - $200 Million and Adjusted EPS of $0.20 - $0.35

Dublin, Ireland – 7 March 2017 - Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: AVDL) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016.
Highlights Include:
Total revenues for fourth quarter and full year 2016 were $43.1 million and $150.2 million, compared to $44.6 million and $173.0 million in the prior year periods.
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $73.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, during the same period last year. GAAP net loss for the full year 2016 was $41.3 million or $1.00 per diluted share compared to GAAP net income of $41.8 million or $0.96 per diluted share during the same period last year.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $10.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, during the same period last year. (1) 
Cash and marketable securities at December 31, 2016 were $154.2 million, up from $149.7 million, at September 30, 2016 and $144.8 million at December 31, 2015.
Michael Anderson, Avadel's Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We hit a number of milestones during 2016, including the approval and successful launch of our third hospital product, Akovaz®, and in particular during the fourth quarter, we reached an agreement with the FDA on our special protocol assessment for our REST-ON Phase III clinical trial, began enrollment and dosing of patients, and ended the year by redomiciling from France to Ireland and changing our company name in the process. Although it is still early in the enrollment process, REST-ON remains on track, and the successful completion of our trial continues to be a primary objective in 2017."
Mike Kanan, Avadel's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are pleased to report strong fourth quarter revenues, which allowed us to finish 2016 above the top end of guidance with $150.2 million in total revenues. A key contributing factor to our strong financial performance was the ability to maintain stable price and share across our branded hospital products, Bloxiverz® and Vazculep®, while successfully launching our third product Akovaz®. We estimate that we exited the quarter and year with approximately 27% of the 7.5 million vial per year ephedrine market, as was our goal. Despite the recent introduction of a second competitor, as we have demonstrated in the past with our other products, we expect to secure and retain our requisite share of the market."
Kanan continued, "I'm also pleased to report that our cash and marketable securities increased $9.4 million to $154.2 million at December 31, 2016 from $144.8 million at December 31, 2015. We continue to focus on generating cash and have ample liquidity to execute our strategy, including completion of the REST-ON trial and investment in other growth initiatives."
Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
The Company generated revenues during the fourth quarter 2016 of $43.1 million, compared to $44.6 million during the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded net income of $4.7 million during the fourth quarter 2016, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $73.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Included in the net income for the fourth quarter 2016 were $3.3 million of gains related to changes in the fair value of related party contingent consideration and related party payables compared to $55.8 million of such gains in the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $10.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, during the same period last year.(1) The decline in adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS from the previous year was primarily due to lower product sales resulting from increased competition for Bloxiverz®, our neostigmine product, higher SG&A from

increased headcount and one-time cross border merger related expenses plus higher R&D spend on the REST-ON Phase III clinical trial. Please see the Supplemental Information section within this document for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS to the respective GAAP amounts.
2017 Guidance
"We are reaffirming the guidance we issued in January 2017 of full year 2017 revenue in the range of $170 to $200 million and adjusted EPS of between $0.20 and $0.35 per diluted share. Although a second Akovaz® competitor has recently launched, we feel at this time it is premature to modify our full year 2017 guidance. We expect R&D spending be in the range of $40 and $50 million and our full year adjusted tax rate to fall in the range of 70% - 80%," commented Mike Kanan.
Conference Call

Safe Harbor: This release may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "will," "may," and the negative of these and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Avadel's control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include the risks relating to: our dependence on a small number of products and customers for the majority of our revenues; the possibility that our Bloxiverz®,Vazculep® and Akovaz® products, which are not patent protected, could face substantial competition resulting in a loss of market share or forcing us to reduce the prices we charge for those products; the possibility that we could fail to successfully complete the research and development for pipeline products we are evaluating for potential application to the FDA pursuant to our "unapproved-to-approved" strategy, or that competitors could complete the development of such product and apply for FDA approval of such product before us; our dependence on the performance of third parties in partnerships or strategic alliances for the commercialization of some of our products; the possibility that our products may not reach the commercial market or gain market acceptance; our need to invest substantial sums in research and development in order to remain competitive; our dependence on certain single providers for development of several of our drug delivery platforms and products; our dependence on a limited number of suppliers to manufacture our products and to deliver certain raw materials used in our products; the possibility that our competitors may develop and market technologies or products that are more effective or safer than ours, or obtain regulatory approval and market such technologies or products before we

do; the challenges in protecting the intellectual property underlying our drug delivery platforms and other products; our dependence on key personnel to execute our business plan; the amount of additional costs we will incur to comply with U.S. securities laws as a result of our ceasing to qualify as a foreign private issuer; and the other risks, uncertainties and contingencies described in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, all of which filings are also available on the Company's website. Avadel undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Disclosures and Adjustments
Avadel discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and loss and adjusted net income and loss per diluted share, as management believes that a comparison of its current and historical results would be difficult if the disclosures were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. In addition to reporting its financial results in accordance with GAAP, Avadel reports certain non-GAAP results that exclude, if any, fair value remeasurements of its contingent consideration, impairment of intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, but includes the operating cash flows plus any unpaid accrued amounts associated with the contingent consideration, in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. Investors and other readers should review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most closely applicable GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table provided within the following “Supplemental Information” section reconciles GAAP net income and loss and diluted earnings or loss per share to the corresponding adjusted amounts.

2 Safe Harbor This presentation may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "will," "may," and the negative of these and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Avadel’s control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include the risks relating to: our dependence on a small number of products and customers for the majority of our revenues; the possibility that our Bloxiverz®, Vazculep® and Akovaz® products, which are not patent protected, could face substantial competition resulting in a loss of market share or forcing us to reduce the prices we charge for those products; the possibility that we could fail to successfully complete the research and development for the pipeline product we are evaluating for potential application to the FDA pursuant to our "unapproved-to-approved" strategy, or that competitors could complete the development of such product and apply for FDA approval of such product before us; our dependence on the performance of third parties in partnerships or strategic alliances for the commercialization of some of our products; the possibility that our products may not reach the commercial market or gain market acceptance; our need to invest substantial sums in research and development in order to remain competitive; our dependence on certain single providers for development of several of our drug delivery platforms and products; our dependence on a limited number of suppliers to manufacture our products and to deliver certain raw materials used in our products; the possibility that our competitors may develop and market technologies or products that are more effective or safer than ours, or obtain regulatory approval and market such technologies or products before we do; the challenges in protecting the intellectual property underlying our drug delivery platforms and other products; our dependence on key personnel to execute our business plan; the amount of additional costs we will incur to comply with U.S. securities laws as a result of our ceasing to qualify as a foreign private issuer; and the other risks, uncertainties and contingencies described in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, all of which filings are also available on the Company's website. Avadel undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Avadel Pharmaceuticals Announces $25 Million Share Repurchase Program

Dublin, Ireland – 7 March 2017 – Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: AVDL), today announced that the Company’s board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, represented by American Depository Shares (ADS) which are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market. Repurchases may be made in open-market transactions, block transactions on or off the exchange, in privately negotiated transactions, or through other means as determined by Avadel’s board and in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Michael Anderson, Avadel’s Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “We ended 2016 in a strong financial position with $154.2 million of cash and marketable securities on our balance sheet. We have ample liquidity to execute our strategy, including the completion of the REST-ON Phase III trial and investment in both internal and external growth initiatives. Given our current cash position and ability to continue generating cash, we believe the timing is right to return some capital to shareholders through a repurchase program.”

The timing and actual number of ADSs repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, trading volume, corporate, regulatory and legal requirements and market conditions.   Repurchases may also be made under a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1, which would permit ADSs to be repurchased during periods when repurchases would otherwise be prohibited due to self-imposed trading blackouts or other regulatory restrictions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.
