Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Information Certain statements set forth in this presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: Alkermes plc’s (the “Company”) expectations concerning its future financial, commercial and operating performance, business plans or prospects; the Company’s expectations regarding the timing of the planned separation of its oncology business; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of ALKS 2680 for the treatment of narcolepsy; and the Company’s expectations regarding plans and timelines for further clinical development activities for ALKS 2680, including study design and dose selection. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various risks, assumptions and uncertainties. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include, among others: the Company may not ultimately separate its oncology business during 2023 or at all; unanticipated developments, costs or difficulties may delay or otherwise negatively affect the planned separation of the Company’s oncology business; the unfavorable outcome of arbitration or litigation, including so-called “Paragraph IV” litigation or other patent litigation which may lead to competition from generic drug manufacturers, or other disputes related to the Company’s products or products using the Company’s proprietary technologies; clinical development activities may not be completed on time or at all; the results of the Company’s development activities, including those related to ALKS 2680, may not be positive, or predictive of final results from such activities, results of future development activities or real-world results; potential changes in the cost, scope, design or duration of the Company’s development activities, including the ALKS 2680 development program; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory authorities may not agree with the Company’s regulatory approval strategies or components of the Company’s marketing applications and may make adverse decisions regarding the Company’s products; the Company and its licensees may not be able to continue to successfully commercialize their products; there may be a reduction in payment rate or reimbursement for the Company’s products or an increase in the Company’s financial obligations to government payers; the Company’s products may prove difficult to manufacture, be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of third parties, or have unintended side effects, adverse reactions or incidents of misuse; and those risks, assumptions and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022 and in subsequent filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at www.alkermes.com in the ‘Investors – SEC filings’ section. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any intention or responsibility for updating or revising any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to the extent reasonably determinable, can be found in the Appendix of this presentation.

Preliminary Results from a Phase 1 Study of ALKS 2680,  an Orexin 2 Receptor Agonist, in Healthy Participants and Patients with Narcolepsy or Idiopathic Hypersomnia


Slide 14

ALKS 2680 Is an Investigational Oral Orexin 2 Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Narcolepsy ALKS 2680 is a highly potent, orally bioavailable, selective OX2R agonist  ≥10 fold more potent than orexin Aa >5,000-fold selectivity relative to OX1Ra Designed to address underlying pathology of narcolepsy and achieve: Improved wakefulness duration and quality, with a PK/PD profile that mirrors natural sleep/wake cycle Cataplexy control Low therapeutic dose with once-daily oral dosing Acceptable safety profile with wide therapeutic window ALKS 2680 demonstrated dose-dependent improvements in wake duration and cataplexy control in a mouse model of narcolepsyb Initial data from the ongoing Phase 1 study, which includes innovative translational approaches, has shown: ALKS 2680 is generally well tolerated Proof of concept in patients with narcolepsy type 1 aData from preclinical studies using CHO cells. bOrexin DTA mice CHO: Chinese Hamster Ovary; DTA: diphtheria toxin subunit A; OX1R: orexin receptor type 1; OX2R: orexin receptor type 2; PD: pharmacodynamic; PK: pharmacokinetic


Slide 15

Ongoing Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled First-in-Human Study of ALKS 2680: SAD and MAD Healthy Volunteers Each dose cohort in both SAD and MAD included 8 new participants 6 on ALKS 2680, 2 on placebo Objectives: Safety and tolerability Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) *Denotes dynamic decision points for triggering subsequent cohorts aIn MAD, participants were dosed for 10 days once daily


Slide 16

ALKS 2680 Was Generally Well Tolerated in Healthy Volunteers in Both SAD and MAD Maximum tolerated dose not reached Most AEs were mild and observed at doses ≥15 mg (SAD) and ≥8 mg (MAD)  No severe AEs or serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported Most AEs were transient and resolved without intervention or treatment interruption AEs observed in >1 participant (>5%) and deemed related to study drug were: SAD: dizziness, pollakiuria, nausea, and blurred vision MAD: insomnia, dizziness, pollakiuria, and visual disturbance (described as blurred or distorted vision, increased light sensitivity) No safety signal identified in vital signs, laboratory parameters, or ECGs One participant in MAD discontinued after taking a single 25 mg dose due to transient, non-serious, non-severe AEs that resolved without treatment AE: adverse event; ECG: electrocardiogram; MAD: multiple ascending dose; SAD: single ascending dose Healthy Volunteers


Slide 17

ALKS 2680 Achieved Desired Pharmacokinetic Profile With Once-Daily Dosing Overall PK profile supports once-daily dosing Mimics natural sleep/wake cycle Half life = 8-10 hours Wide safety margin ~100-fold safety multiples for planned therapeutic doses relative to toxicology studiesa 2 metabolites measured Consistent with preclinical studies Neither contribute to pharmacologic activity No reactive metabolites have been identified Healthy Volunteers Systemic Exposure (AUC) 10000 1000 100 10 1 1 3 8 15 25 50 AUC ng*h/mL 100 1 1 3 8 15 25 50 Cmax ng/mL 10 Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) ALKS 2680, mg ALKS 2680, mg aToxicology studies in mice up to 28 days of dosing completed AUC: area under the curve; PK: pharmacokinetics Proportional increase with dose Lower-than-proportional increase with dose
