Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax (benefit) provision in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 relates primarily to U.S. federal and state taxes on income. The Company records a deferred tax asset or liability based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted jurisdictional tax rates assumed to be in effect when these differences reverse. At June 30, 2016, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates, at each reporting period, the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 2018, and the Company could early adopt the standard for its year ending December 31, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. Existing GAAP does not contain explicit guidance on how to account for these share-based payments. The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Entities have the option of prospectively applying the guidance to awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively applying the guidance to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016, and this guidance did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016, and this guidance did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that enhances the reporting model for financial instruments through addressing certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in this update include: requiring equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through the income statement; simplifying the impairment assessment of equity instruments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments;

requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; and clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 2018, and the Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous GAAP and this guidance is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 2019, and the Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance as part of its simplification initiative to eliminate the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting when an investment qualifies for the use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 2017, and the Company does not currently expect this guidance to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance as part of its simplification initiative that involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The amendments in this update established that: all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement; excess tax benefits be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows; the entity make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, which is current GAAP, or account for forfeitures as they occur; the threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions; and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 2017, and the Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. DIVESTITURE

On March 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Gainesville, GA facility, the related manufacturing and royalty revenue associated with certain products manufactured at the facility, and the rights to IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam (the “Gainesville Transaction”) to Recro Pharma, Inc. (“Recro”) and Recro Pharma LLC (together with Recro, the “Purchasers”). The sale was completed on April 10, 2015 and, under the terms of the agreement, Recro paid the Company $54.0 million in cash and issued to the Company warrants to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Recro common stock at a per share exercise price of $19.46, which was two times the closing price of Recro’s common stock on the day prior to closing. The Company is also eligible to receive low double-digit royalties on net sales of IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam and up to $120.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones related to IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam.

The gain on the Gainesville Transaction was determined as follows:


	April 10, 2015
	(In thousands)
Sales Proceeds:
Cash	$	54,010
Fair value of warrants		2,123
Fair value of contingent consideration		57,600
Total consideration received	$	113,733
Less net assets sold		(101,373)
Less transaction costs		(2,724)
Gain on the Gainesville Transaction	$	9,636

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Gainesville, GA facility and associated intellectual property (“IP”) generated income before income taxes of $0.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The Company recorded the initial gain on the Gainesville Transaction in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and made adjustments in the third and fourth quarters of 2015 to record additional transaction costs. The Company determined that the sale of assets in connection with the Gainesville Transaction did not constitute a strategic shift and that it did not and will not have a major effect on its operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operations from the Gainesville Transaction are not reported in discontinued operations.

The Company determined the value of the Gainesville Transaction’s contingent consideration using the following valuation approaches:

The fair value of the two regulatory milestones was estimated based on applying the likelihood of achieving the regulatory milestone and applying a discount rate from the expected time the milestone occurs to the balance sheet date. The Company expects the regulatory milestone events to occur within the next one and two years, respectively, and used a discount rate of 3.0% and 4.1%, respectively, for each of these events.

To estimate the fair value of future royalties on net sales of IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam, the Company assessed the likelihood of IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam being approved for sale and estimated the expected future sales given approval and IP protection. The Company then discounted these expected payments using a discount rate of 17.0%, which the Company believes captures a market participant’s view of the risk associated with the expected payments.

The sales milestones were determined through the use of a real options approach, where net sales are simulated in a risk-neutral world. To employ this methodology, the Company used a risk-adjusted expected growth rate based on its assessments of expected growth in net sales of the approved IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam, adjusted by an appropriate factor capturing their respective correlation with the market. A resulting expected (probability-weighted) milestone payment was then discounted at a cost of debt plus an alpha, which ranged from 11.1% to 13.1%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company determined that the value of the Gainesville Transaction’s contingent consideration increased due primarily to a shorter time to payment on the milestones and royalties included in the contingent consideration. This increase was recorded as “Increase in the fair value of contingent consideration” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The warrants the Company received to purchase 350,000 shares of Recro common stock have a fair value of $1.4 million at June 30, 2016 and are being recorded within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company used a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions to determine the fair value of these warrants at June 30, 2016:


Closing stock price at June 30, 2016	$	7.95
Warrant strike price	$	19.46
Expected term (years)		5.78
Risk-free rate		1.15	%
Volatility		77.4	%

An increase in the fair value of the warrants of $0.4 million and a decrease in the fair value of the warrants of $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, was recorded within “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the warrants increased by $0.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Realized losses	$	28	$	1

The Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2016 had contractual maturities in the following periods:


	Available-for-sale				Held-to-maturity
	Amortized		Estimated		Amortized		Estimated
(In thousands)	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value

Total	$	477,263	$	477,851	$	3,382	$	3,382

At June 30, 2016, the Company believed that the unrealized losses on its available-for-sale investments were temporary. The investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of corporate debt securities. In making the determination that the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company considered various factors, including, but not limited to: the length of time each security was in an unrealized loss position; the extent to which fair value was less than cost; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers; and the Company’s intent not to sell these securities and the assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

In February 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration and license option agreement with Reset Therapeutics, Inc. (“Reset”). The Company made an upfront, non-refundable payment of $10.0 million in partial consideration of the grant to the Company of the rights and licenses included in such agreement, which was included in R&D expense in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and simultaneously made a $15.0 million investment in exchange for shares of Reset’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Company is accounting for its investment in Reset under the equity method based on its percentage of ownership, its seat on the board of directors and its belief that it can exert significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Reset. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a reduction in its investment in Reset of $0.3 million which represents the company’s proportional share of Reset’s net loss for the period. The Company’s $14.7 million investment at June 30, 2016 is included within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2014, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it is committed to provide up to €7.4 million to a partnership, Fountain Healthcare Partners II, L.P. of Ireland (“Fountain”), which was created to carry on the business of investing exclusively in companies and businesses engaged in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. The Company’s commitment represents approximately 7% of the partnership’s total funding, and the Company is accounting for its investment in Fountain under the equity method. At June 30, 2016, the Company had made payments of, and its investment is equal to, $1.9 million (€1.5 million), which is included within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a reduction in its investment in Fountain of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which represented the Company’s proportional share of Fountain’s net loss for the period.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


	June 30,
(In thousands)	2016		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	1,667	$	1,667	$	—	$	—

Common stock warrants		1,821		—		—		1,821
Total	$	673,146	$	216,122	$	399,903	$	57,121

The Company transfers its financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, between the fair value hierarchies at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers of any securities between the fair value hierarchies during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company’s investments in U.S. government and agency debt securities, international government agency debt securities and corporate debt securities classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy were initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing market-observable data. The market-observable data included reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validated the prices developed using the market-observable data by obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active.

The following table is a rollforward of the fair value of the Company’s assets whose fair values were determined using Level 3 inputs at June 30, 2016:


(In thousands)	Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2016	$	57,121
Increase in fair value of contingent consideration		4,100
Decrease in fair value of warrants		(451)
Balance, June 30, 2016	$	60,770

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the remaining financial instruments not currently recognized at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the $300.0 million, seven-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% with a LIBOR floor of 0.75% (“Term Loan B-1”) and the $75.0 million, four-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor (“Term Loan B-2” and together with Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”). The estimated fair value of these term loans, which was based on quoted market price indications (Level 2 in

the fair value hierarchy) and which may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future, was as follows at June 30, 2016:


	Carrying		Estimated
(In thousands)	Value		Fair Value
Term Loan B-1	$	286,120	$	287,082
Term Loan B-2	$	60,913	$	60,633

6. INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consisted of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Raw materials	$	14,951	$	16,445
Work in process		17,837		12,423
Finished goods(1)		17,108		9,543
Total inventory	$	49,896	$	38,411

(1)	At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of finished goods inventory located at its third-party warehouse and shipping service provider.

7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Land	$	5,913	$	5,913
Building and improvements		144,583		136,797

Less: accumulated depreciation		(189,889)		(174,748)
Total property, plant and equipment, net	$	258,354	$	254,819

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following:


		Six Months Ended
		June 30, 2016
(In thousands)	Weighted Amortizable Life (Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Goodwill		$	92,873	$	—	$	92,873
Finite-lived intangible assets:
Collaboration agreements	12	$	465,590	$	(193,132)	$	272,458
NanoCrystal technology	13		74,600		(21,322)		53,278
OCR technologies	12		42,560		(19,423)		23,137
Total		$	582,750	$	(233,877)	$	348,873

Based on the Company’s most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included within its condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 is expected to be approximately $60.0 million, $60.0 million, $60.0 million, $55.0 million and $50.0 million in the years ending December 31, 2016 through 2020, respectively. Although the Company believes such available information and assumptions are reasonable, given the inherent risks and uncertainties underlying its expectations regarding such future revenues, there is the potential for the Company’s actual results to vary

significantly from such expectations. If revenues are projected to change, the related amortization of the intangible assets will change in proportion to the change in revenues.

On January 21, 2016, following the Company’s press release regarding its ALKS 5461 development program, the Company’s stock price declined by 44% from the previous day’s closing price, which the Company considered to be an impairment triggering event. To determine if its goodwill was impaired, the Company assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. Based on the weight of all available evidence, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting unit more-likely-than-not exceeded its carrying value.

9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015

Long-term debt consisted of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Term Loan B-1, due September 25, 2019	$	286,120	$	287,207

Total		347,033		349,944
Less: current portion		(63,913)		(65,737)
Long-term debt	$	283,120	$	284,207

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation expense consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Cost of goods manufactured and sold	$	2,264	$	478	$	4,542	$	2,495

Total share-based compensation expense	$	26,631	$	21,877	$	50,887	$	39,206

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of share-based compensation cost was capitalized and recorded as “Inventory” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per ordinary share is calculated based upon net loss available to holders of ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, as the Company was in a net loss position, the diluted loss per share does not assume conversion or exercise of stock options and awards as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

The following potential ordinary equivalent shares have not been included in the net loss per ordinary share

calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Stock options		11,168		9,643		10,463		9,175
Restricted stock units		1,370		2,129		1,297		2,169
Total		12,538		11,772		11,760		11,344

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company would accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to claims and litigation, accruals are based on the Company’s best estimates based on available information. On a periodic basis, as additional information becomes available, or based on specific events such as the outcome of litigation or settlement of claims, the Company may reassess the potential liability related to these matters and may revise these estimates, which could result in material adverse adjustments to the Company’s operating results. At June 30, 2016, there are no potential losses from claims, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceedings the Company feels are probable of occurring.

ARISTADA

On July 13, 2015, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. (“Otsuka PD&C”) filed a Citizen Petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) which requested that the FDA refuse to approve the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for ARISTADA or delay approval of such NDA until the exclusivity rights covering long-acting aripiprazole expire in December 2017. The FDA approved ARISTADA on October 5, 2015 and, concurrent with such approval, denied Otsuka PD&C’s Citizen Petition.

On October 15, 2015, Otsuka Pharm. Co., Otsuka PD&C, and Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. (collectively, “Otsuka”) filed an action for declaratory and injunctive relief with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “DC Court”) against Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Dr. Stephen Ostroff, Acting Commissioner, FDA; and the FDA, requesting that the DC Court (a) expedite the legal proceedings; (b) declare that the FDA’s denial of Otsuka’s claimed exclusivity rights and approval of the ARISTADA NDA were arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law; (c) vacate FDA’s approval of the ARISTADA NDA and vacate any FDA decisions or actions underlying or supporting or predicated upon that approval; (d) declare that Otsuka’s claimed exclusivity rights preclude FDA from granting approval of the Alkermes NDA until the expiration of such exclusivity rights in December 2017; and (e) grant any and all other, further, and additional relief, including all necessary and appropriate protective preliminary, interim, or permanent relief, as the nature of the cause may require, including all necessary and appropriate declarations of rights and injunctive relief. The Company believes Otsuka’s action is without merit and will vigorously defend ARISTADA against such action. The Company successfully intervened in, and received the DC Court’s approval to become a party to, this action. The DC Court held a hearing on the case in January 2016. The action is currently pending before the DC Court. For information about risks relating to this action, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report and specifically the section entitled “Citizen Petitions and other actions filed with, or litigation against, the FDA or other regulatory agencies or litigation against Alkermes may negatively impact the approval of our products and our business.”

AMPYRA

AMPYRA ANDA Litigation

Ten separate Paragraph IV Certification Notices have been submitted to us and/or the Company’s licensee Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acorda”) from Accord Healthcare, Inc.; Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. (“Actavis”); Alkem

Laboratories Ltd.; Apotex, Inc.; Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. (“Aurobindo”); Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mylan”); Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Par”); Roxane Laboratories, Inc.; Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Inc. (collectively, “Sun”); and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., advising that each of these companies had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) to the FDA seeking marketing approval for generic versions of AMPYRA (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg. The ANDA filers have challenged the validity of the Orange Book-listed patents for AMPYRA, and they have also asserted that their generic versions do not infringe certain claims of these patents. In response, the Company and/or Acorda filed lawsuits against the ANDA filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,540,938 (which the Company owns), 8,663,685; 8,440,703; 8,354,437 and 8,007,826 (which are owned by Acorda). Requested judicial remedies include recovery of litigation costs and injunctive relief. Lawsuits with eight of the ANDA filers have been consolidated into a single case. The Delaware Court has set a five-day bench trial starting on September 19, 2016. Mylan is challenging the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court with respect to the Delaware action. Due to Mylan’s motion to dismiss, the Company, together with Acorda, also filed another patent infringement suit against Mylan in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia asserting the same U.S. patents and requesting the same judicial relief as in the Delaware action. In March 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) upheld the Delaware Court’s ruling that the litigation against Mylan can continue in the Delaware Court. In June 2016, the Federal Circuit denied Mylan’s request for a rehearing to reconsider its previous ruling. Mylan may seek an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. All lawsuits were filed within 45 days from the date of receipt of each of the Paragraph IV Certification Notices. As a result, a 30-month statutory stay of approval period applies to each of the ANDAs under the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”). The 30-month stay starts from January 22, 2015, which is the end of the new chemical entity exclusivity period for AMPYRA. This stay restricts the FDA from approving the ANDAs until July 2017 at the earliest, unless a Federal district court issues a decision adverse to all of the asserted Orange Book-listed patents prior to that date.

The Company and/or Acorda has entered into a settlement agreement with each of Actavis, Aurobindo, Par and Sun (collectively, the “Settling ANDA Filers”) to resolve the patent litigation that the Company and/or Acorda brought against the Settling ANDA Filers in the Delaware Court as described above. As a result of the settlement agreements, the Settling ANDA Filers will be permitted to market a generic version of AMPYRA in the U.S. at a specified date in 2027, or potentially earlier under certain circumstances. The parties have submitted their respective settlement agreements to the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, as required by federal law. The settlements with the Settling ANDA Filers do not resolve pending patent litigation that the Company and Acorda brought against the other ANDA filers, as described above.

The Company intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights. For information about risks relating to the AMPYRA Paragraph IV litigations and other proceedings see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report and specifically the section entitled “We face claims against our intellectual property rights and competition from generic drug manufacturers.”

AMPYRA IPR Proceedings

A hedge fund (acting with affiliated entities and individuals and proceeding under the name of the Coalition for Affordable Drugs) has filed inter partes review (“IPR”) petitions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), challenging U.S. Patent Nos. 8,663,685; 8,440,703; 8,354,437 and 8,007,826 (which are owned by Acorda). In March 2016, the USPTO’s Patent Trials and Appeal Board instituted the IPR. A ruling on the IPR petitions is expected within one year of the IPR’s institution. The challenged patents are four of the five AMPYRA Orange-Book listed patents. The 30-month statutory stay period based on patent infringement suits filed by us and Acorda against ANDA filers is not impacted by these filings, and remains in effect.

BYDUREON, RISPERDAL CONSTA AND VIVITROL IPR Proceedings

In May 2016, Luye Pharma Group Ltd., Luye Pharma (USA) Ltd., Shandong Luye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Nanjing Luye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Luye”) filed two separate IPR petitions challenging U.S. Patent

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page 5 of this Form 10-Q, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report, which has been filed with the SEC.

Executive Summary

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $47.2 million, or $0.31 per ordinary share— basic and diluted, as compared to a net loss of $46.1 million, or $0.31 per ordinary share— basic and diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $124.6 million, or $0.82 per ordinary share— basic and diluted, as compared to a net loss of $76.8 million, or $0.52 per ordinary share— basic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Included in the net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.4 million and $4.5 million of operating income related to our Gainesville, GA manufacturing facility, which we sold as part of the Gainesville Transaction in April 2015.

The increase in the net loss incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to increases in R&D expense, reflecting an increased investment in our CNS development pipeline, and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense, reflecting the commercialization of ARISTADA in October 2015 following approval by the FDA. The increase in R&D and SG&A expenses was partially offset by an increase in net sales of VIVITROL and ARISTADA. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, the increase in expenses was offset by a decrease in cost of goods manufactured and sold primarily due to the Gainesville Transaction. These items are discussed in greater detail later in the “Results of Operations” section of this Form 10-Q.

Proprietary Products

We developed and commercialize products designed to address the unmet needs of patients suffering from addiction and schizophrenia.

ARISTADA

ARISTADA (aripiprazole lauroxil) is an extended-release injectable suspension approved in the U.S. for the treatment of schizophrenia. ARISTADA is the first of our products to utilize our proprietary LinkeRx technology. ARISTADA is a prodrug; once in the body, ARISTADA is likely converted by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis to N-hydroxymethyl aripiprazole, which is then hydrolyzed to aripiprazole. ARISTADA is the first atypical antipsychotic with once-monthly and six-week dosing options for delivering and maintaining therapeutic levels of medication in the body through an intramuscular injection. ARISTADA possesses three dosing options (441 mg, 662 mg and 882 mg) and is packaged in a ready-to-use, pre-filled product format. We developed, manufacture and commercialize ARISTADA in the U.S.

On May 31, 2016, U.S. Patent No. 9,351,976 relating to ARISTADA was granted. This patent has claims to pharmaceutical compositions comprising sorbitan esters of carboxylic acids that are useful for the delivery of anti-psychotic drugs and it expires in 2032.

VIVITROL

VIVITROL (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension) is the only once‑monthly, non-addictive, injectable medication approved in the U.S., Russia and certain countries of the CIS for the treatment of alcohol dependence and for the prevention of relapse to opioid dependence, following opioid detoxification. VIVITROL uses our polymer‑based microsphere injectable extended‑release technology to deliver and maintain therapeutic medication levels in the body through one injection every four weeks. We developed, manufacture and commercialize VIVITROL in the U.S., and Cilag commercializes VIVITROL in Russia and certain countries of the CIS.

Products Using Our Proprietary Technologies

We have granted licenses under our proprietary technologies to enable third parties to develop, commercialize and, in some cases, manufacture products for which we receive royalties and/or manufacturing revenues. Such arrangements include the following:

INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION, INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA and RISPERDAL CONSTA

INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION (paliperidone palmitate), INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA (paliperidone palmitate) and RISPERDAL CONSTA (risperidone long‑acting injection) are long-acting atypical antipsychotics that incorporate our proprietary technologies and are owned and commercialized worldwide by Janssen.

INVEGA SUSTENNA is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of schizophrenia and for the treatment of schizoaffective disorder as either a monotherapy or adjunctive therapy. Paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension is approved in the European Union ("EU") and other countries outside of the U.S. for the treatment of schizophrenia and is marketed and sold under the trade name XEPLION.

ALKS 5461

ALKS 5461 is a novel, proprietary, oral investigational medicine in development for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”) in patients who have an inadequate response to standard antidepressant therapies. ALKS 5461 is composed of samidorphan in combination with buprenorphine. Samidorphan, formerly referred to as ALKS 33, is a proprietary oral opioid modulator characterized by limited hepatic metabolism and durable pharmacologic activity in modulating brain opioid receptors. ALKS 5461 acts as a balanced neuromodulator in the brain and represents a new approach with a novel mechanism of action for treating MDD. In October 2013, the FDA granted Fast Track status for ALKS 5461 for the adjunctive treatment of MDD in patients with inadequate response to standard antidepressant therapies.

In January 2016, we announced the topline results of FORWARD-3 and FORWARD-4, two phase 3 clinical studies of ALKS 5461 from the FORWARD (Focused on Results With a Rethinking of Depression) pivotal program for ALKS 5461. Neither of the two studies met the prespecified primary efficacy endpoint, which compared ALKS 5461 to placebo on the change from baseline on the Montgomery—Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (“MADRS”).

FORWARD-4 tested two dose levels of ALKS 5461 (2mg/2mg and 0.5mg/0.5mg) compared to placebo. There was a clear trend toward efficacy with the 2mg/2mg dose of ALKS 5461 on the primary endpoint, and post hoc analyses achieved statistical significance for the entire 2mg/2mg dose group on the MADRS endpoint. Based on these analyses, we believe that FORWARD-4 provides supportive evidence of the efficacy of ALKS 5461 in the treatment of MDD. FORWARD-3 tested ALKS 5461 (2mg/2mg) compared to placebo. Placebo response was greater than that observed in FORWARD-4 and no treatment effect of ALKS 5461 was observed.

FORWARD-5, the third pivotal efficacy study in the FORWARD program, is ongoing, testing two dose levels of ALKS 5461 (2mg/2mg and 1mg/1mg). FORWARD-5 shares common design features with FORWARD-4. Knowledge gained from FORWARD-3 and FORWARD-4 will be used to inform FORWARD-5.

In the case of a clear positive outcome for FORWARD-5, we will consult with the FDA to determine whether the evidence provided by FORWARD-5 and the previously completed successful, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 study, together with supportive evidence from FORWARD-4, could provide substantial evidence of efficacy for ALKS 5461 for the adjunctive treatment of MDD.

ALKS 3831

ALKS 3831 is a novel, proprietary, oral investigational medicine designed as a broad-spectrum antipsychotic for the treatment of schizophrenia. ALKS 3831 is composed of samidorphan in combination with the established antipsychotic drug olanzapine, which is generally available under the name ZYPREXA. ALKS 3831 is designed to provide the strong efficacy of olanzapine and a differentiated safety profile with favorable weight and metabolic properties and to have utility in the treatment of schizophrenia in patients with co-occurring alcohol use disorder.

In December 2015 and February 2016, we announced the initiation of ENLIGHTEN-1 and ENLIGHTEN-2, respectively, the two phase 3 studies from the ENLIGHTEN pivotal program for ALKS 3831. The ENLIGHTEN pivotal program will also include supportive studies to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, metabolic and long-term safety profile of ALKS 3831. We expect to use safety and efficacy data from the ENLIGHTEN pivotal program to serve as the basis for an NDA to be submitted to the FDA, pending study results.

ALKS 8700

ALKS 8700 is a novel, proprietary, oral investigational monomethyl fumarate ("MMF") molecule in development for the treatment of MS. ALKS 8700 is designed to rapidly and efficiently convert to MMF in the body and to offer differentiated features as compared to the currently marketed dimethyl fumarate, TECFIDERA.

We plan to file a 505(b)(2) NDA using pharmacokinetic bridging data from studies comparing ALKS 8700 and TECFIDERA and a two-year, multicenter, open-label study designed to assess the safety of ALKS 8700, which we initiated in December 2015. Additionally, we plan to initiate a randomized, head-to-head phase 3 study of the gastrointestinal tolerability of ALKS 8700 compared to TECFIDERA next year. We will need to conduct additional preclinical studies and pharmacokinetic studies to further support pharmacokinetic comparability to TECFIDERA. We expect to complete ALKS 8700 registration studies and file the NDA in 2018.

ALKS 6428

ALKS 6428 is designed to help physicians transition patients from physical dependence on opioids to VIVITROL for the treatment of opioid dependence. This transition process includes the administration of doses of oral naltrexone in conjunction with buprenorphine during a seven-day treatment period. In September 2015, we initiated a phase 3 study evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ALKS 6428 in patients with opioid dependence.

Aripiprazole Lauroxil Two-Month Dose

Aripiprazole lauroxil is an injectable atypical antipsychotic, currently commercially available as ARISTADA with once-monthly and six-week dosing options for the treatment of schizophrenia. Aripiprazole lauroxil is also in development with a two-month dosing interval. In February 2016, we announced positive topline results from a randomized, open-label, pharmacokinetic study evaluating a two-month dosing interval of aripiprazole lauroxil extended-release injectable suspension for the treatment of schizophrenia. Based on these phase 1 results, we plan to submit a supplemental NDA to the FDA in the second half of 2016.

ALKS 7119

ALKS 7119 is a novel, proprietary, oral investigational medicine that has a multivalent mechanism of action that acts on key receptors in the brain involved in several CNS diseases, including agitation in Alzheimer’s disease, MDD and others. In January 2016, we announced the initiation of a phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of ALKS 7119 in healthy subjects. In April 2016, we announced that early results of the single-ascending-dose study demonstrated a favorable tolerability profile and pharmacokinetic properties consistent with potential once-daily dosing. The full data analysis from the single-ascending-dose study, including unblinded safety data, is expected in the second half of 2016. Based on these early results, we initiated the multiple-ascending-dose study in healthy volunteers in July 2016 and expect results from this study around the end of 2016.

ALKS 4230

ALKS 4230, formerly referred to as RDB 1450, is our selective effector cell activator (“SECA”) that is designed to harness a patient’s immune system to preferentially activate and increase the number of tumor killing immune cells. SECA proteins selectively target immune cells to avoid expansion of immune regulatory cells which interfere with the anti-tumor response. SECA molecules are engineered using our proprietary fusion protein technology platform to modulate the natural mechanism of action of a biologic product. We filed an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the FDA in the first quarter of 2016 and initiated a phase 1 clinical trial in May 2016. This phase 1 study will be conducted in two stages: a dose-escalation stage followed by a dose-expansion stage. The first stage of the study is designed to determine a maximum tolerated dose, and to identify the optimal dose range of ALKS 4230 based on measures of immunological-pharmacodynamic effects. Following the identification of the optimal dose range of ALKS 4230 in the first stage of the study, the dose-expansion stage of the study will evaluate ALKS 4230 in patients with selected solid tumor types. Initial results from the first stage of the phase 1 study are expected in 2017.

On June 7, 2016, U.S. Patent No. 9,359,415 relating to ALKS 4230 was granted. This patent has claims to fusion polypeptides modified by circular permutation as agonists and antagonists and it expires in 2033.

The increase in INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION and INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA royalty revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was due to an increase in Janssen’s end-market sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION and INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Janssen’s end-market sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION and INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA were $560.0 million and $1,073.0 million, as compared to $436.0 million and $847.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Under our agreement with Janssen, we earn royalty revenues on end-market net sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION and INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA of: 5% on calendar-year net sales up to $250 million; 7% on calendar-year net sales of between $250 million and $500 million; and 9% on calendar-year net sales exceeding $500 million. The royalty rate resets to 5% at the beginning of each calendar year.

The increase in AMPYRA/FAMPYRA manufacturing and royalty revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to a 33% and 11% increase in the amount of AMPYRA shipped to Acorda, respectively. Under our supply and license agreements with Acorda, we earn manufacturing and royalty revenues when AMPYRA is shipped to Acorda, either by us or a third-party manufacturer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we earned $8.8 million of revenue from product shipped to Acorda by a third-party manufacturer as compared to $2.7 million and $12.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

The decrease in RISPERDAL CONSTA manufacturing and royalty revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to a decrease in Janssen’s end market sales of RISPERDAL CONSTA and a decrease in the price we earned on shipments of RISPERDAL CONSTA to Janssen. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Janssen’s end market sales of RISPERDAL CONSTA were $230.0 million and $461.0 million, respectively, as compared to $247.0 million and $501.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Manufacturing revenues decreased by 21% and 8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior periods. The decrease in

manufacturing revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2016 was due to an 18% decrease in price and a 6% decrease in the amount of RISPERDAL CONSTA shipped to Janssen. The decrease in manufacturing revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due to a 16% decrease in price, partially offset by a 1% increase in the amount of RISPERDAL COSNTA shipped to Janssen.

The increase in BYDUREON royalty revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was due to an increase in end-market sales of BYDUREON by AstraZeneca. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our estimate of AstraZeneca’s end-market sales of BYDUREON were $154.0 million and $289.4 million, respectively, as compared to $137.5 million and $261.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

The divested products relate to products sold as part of the Gainesville Transaction.

Product Sales, net

Our product sales, net consist of sales of VIVITROL and, following its approval by the FDA in October 2015, ARISTADA in the U.S. primarily to wholesalers, specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies. The following table presents the adjustments deducted from product sales, gross to arrive at product sales, net for sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:


	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30,								June 30,

Product sales, net	$	57.5	54.7	%	$	37.2	70.1	%	$	106.9	57.6	%	$	68.3	70.6	%

The increase in product sales, gross for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to a 67% and 64% increase in the number of VIVITROL units sold, respectively, and the addition of gross sales from ARISTADA, which launched in the U.S. in October 2015. The increase in the amount of Medicaid rebates as a percentage of sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding prior periods, was primarily due to an increase in the amount of VIVITROL sold under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding prior periods.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of goods manufactured and sold	$	34.0	$	30.4	$	(3.6)	$	61.7	$	70.4	$	8.7

The increase in the cost of goods manufactured and sold during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to an increase in sales of VIVITROL, ARISTADA and AMPYRA, partially offset by the decrease in cost of goods manufactured from RISPERDAL CONSTA, as previously described. The decrease in cost of goods manufactured and sold during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the Gainesville Transaction. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Gainesville facility had cost of goods manufactured of $10.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold for ARISTADA, which was first commercialized in October 2015.

Research and Development Expense

For each of our R&D programs, we incur both external and internal expenses. External R&D expenses include costs related to clinical and non-clinical activities performed by contract research organizations, consulting fees, laboratory services, purchases of drug product materials and third-party manufacturing development costs. Internal R&D expenses include employee-related expenses, occupancy costs, depreciation and general overhead. We track external R&D expenses for each of our development programs; however, internal R&D expenses are not tracked by individual program as they benefit multiple programs or our technologies in general.

The following table sets forth our external R&D expenses relating to our individual Key Development Programs and all other development programs, and our internal R&D expenses by the nature of such expenses:

Research and development expenses	$	97.0	$	87.9	$	(9.1)	$	198.1	$	158.2	$	(39.9)

These amounts are not necessarily predictive of future R&D expenses. In an effort to allocate our spending most effectively, we continually evaluate the products under development, based on the performance of such products in pre-clinical and/or clinical trials, our expectations regarding the likelihood of their regulatory approval and our view of their commercial viability, among other factors.

The increase in expenses related to ALKS 3831 was primarily due to the ENLIGHTEN-1 and ENLIGHTEN-2 pivotal trials, which were initiated in December 2015 and February 2016, respectively. The decrease in expenses related to ALKS 5461, in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding prior periods, was primarily due to the timing of the three core phase 3 studies related to the program. We announced the results of the FORWARD-3 and FORWARD-4 studies in January 2016 and FORWARD-5, the third pivotal efficacy study in the FORWARD program for ALKS 5461, is ongoing. The increase in expenses related to ARISTADA and ARISTADA line extension programs during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the timing of the phase 1 clinical study of extended dosing intervals of aripiprazole lauroxil in patients with schizophrenia. The increase in expenses related to ALKS 6428, in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding prior periods, was primarily due to the initiation of the phase 3 study evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ALKS 6428 in patients with opioid dependence in September 2015. The $10.0 million non-refundable, upfront payment made to Reset was partial consideration of a grant to us of rights and licenses pursuant to a collaboration and license option agreement with Reset. Expenses incurred under the ALKS 7119 and ALKS 4230 development programs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were not material.

The increase in employee-related expenses was primarily due to an increase in R&D headcount of 23% from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense


	Three Months Ended				Change		Six Months Ended				Change
	June 30,				Favorable/		June 30,				Favorable/
(In millions)	2016		2015		(Unfavorable)		2016		2015		(Unfavorable)
Selling, general and administrative expense	$	96.1	$	71.5	$	(24.6)	$	185.8	$	134.6	$	(51.2)

The increase in SG&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relates to an increase in employee-related expenses of $14.2 million and $32.4 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior periods and an increase in marketing and professional service fees of $10.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior period.

The increase in employee-related expenses was primarily due to a 13% increase in our SG&A headcount from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016, as we increased the size of our commercial operations team in anticipation of the launch of ARISTADA in October 2015. The increase in marketing and professional service fees was primarily due to the commercialization of ARISTADA commencing in October 2015.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets


	Three Months Ended				Change		Six Months Ended				Change
	June 30,				Favorable/		June 30,				Favorable/

Amortization of acquired intangible assets	$	15.2	$	14.1	$	(1.1)	$	30.3	$	29.3	$	(1.0)

The intangible assets being amortized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were acquired as part of the acquisition of Elan Drug Technologies (“EDT”) in September 2011. In connection with the acquisition of EDT, we acquired certain amortizable intangible assets with a fair value of $643.2 million, which were expected to be amortized over 12 to 13 years. We amortize our amortizable intangible assets using the economic use method, which reflects the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed as revenue is generated from the underlying patent or contract.

Based on our most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included within our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 is expected to be approximately $60.0 million, $60.0 million, $60.0 million, $55.0 million and $50.0 million in the years ending December 31, 2016 through 2020, respectively.

Total other (expense) income, net	$	(0.6)	$	9.5	$	(10.1)	$	(0.7)	$	6.6	$	(7.3)

The proceeds from the Gainesville Transaction included contingent consideration tied to low double digit royalties on net sales of IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam and up to $120.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones related to IV/IM and other parenteral forms of Meloxicam. We determined the fair value of the contingent consideration through three valuation approaches, which are described in greater detail in Note 3, Divestiture, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements” in this Form 10-Q. We update our assessment of the fair value of this contingent consideration at each reporting date and reflect any changes to the fair value within “Increase in the fair value of contingent consideration” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss until the milestones and/or royalties included in the contingent consideration have been settled. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an increase to the

estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $2.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which was primarily due to a shorter time to payment on the milestones and royalties included in the contingent consideration.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision


	Three Months Ended				Change		Six Months Ended				Change

(Benefit) provision for income taxes	$	(0.5)	$	3.1	$	3.6	$	(0.1)	$	3.6	$	3.7

The income tax benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the income tax provision in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily relates to U.S. federal and state taxes. The favorable change in income taxes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding prior periods, was due to a reduction in income earned in the U.S.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Our financial condition is summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2016						December 31, 2015
(In millions)	U.S.		Ireland		Total		U.S.		Ireland		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	106.6	$	89.8	$	196.4	$	70.8	$	110.3	$	181.1
Investments—short-term		289.5		170.0		459.5		202.4		151.2		353.6
Investments—long-term		3.5		18.3		21.8		129.1		135.0		264.1
Total cash and investments	$	399.6	$	278.1	$	677.7	$	402.3	$	396.5	$	798.8
Outstanding borrowings—current and long-term	$	347.0	$	—	$	347.0	$	349.9	$	—	$	349.9

At June 30, 2016, our investments consisted of the following:


			Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized				Estimated
(In millions)	Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
Investments—short-term	$	458.9	$	0.6	$	—	$	459.5
Investments—long-term available-for-sale		18.3		—		—		18.3
Investments—long-term held-to-maturity		3.4		—		—		3.4
Total	$	480.6	$	0.6	$	—	$	481.2

Our investment objectives are, first, to preserve liquidity and conserve capital and, second, to generate investment income. We mitigate credit risk in our cash reserves by maintaining a well-diversified portfolio that limits the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. However, the value of these securities may be adversely affected by the instability of the global financial markets, which could, in turn, adversely impact our financial position and our overall liquidity. Our available-for-sale investments consist primarily of short- and long-term U.S. government and agency debt securities, debt securities issued by foreign agencies and backed by foreign governments and corporate debt securities. Our held-to-maturity investments consist of investments that are restricted and held as collateral under certain letters of credit related to certain of our lease agreements.

We classify available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position, which do not mature within 12 months, as long-term investments. We have the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity, and it is more-likely-than-not that we would not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. At June 30, 2016, we performed an analysis of our investments with unrealized losses for impairment and determined that they were temporarily impaired.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We expect that our existing cash and investment balance will be sufficient to finance our anticipated working capital and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures and principal and interest payments, for at least the next twelve months.

Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows”. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:


	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(In millions)	2016		2015
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	$	181.1	$	224.1
Cash used in operating activities		(86.1)		(13.3)
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities		101.1		(31.8)
Cash provided by financing activities		0.3		17.9
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	196.4	$	196.9

The increase in cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to a 29% increase in cash paid to our suppliers and a 27% increase in cash paid to our employees. The increase in cash paid to our suppliers and employees was primarily due to the increase in our R&D activity, the commercialization of ARISTADA and an increase in our R&D and SG&A headcount, as previously discussed.

The increase in cash flows provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to a $195.6 million increase in the net sales of investments. This was partially offset by a $15.0 million investment we made in Reset in February 2016 and the proceeds from the Gainesville Transaction of $50.2 million in April 2015.

The decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to an $11.9 million decrease in excess tax benefit from share based compensation and a $5.7 million decrease in cash received from our employees from the exercise of stock options, net of amounts withheld for taxes.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2016, our borrowings consisted of $349.7 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 10, Long-Term Debt, within the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying our Annual Report, for a discussion of our outstanding term loans. Term Loan B-2 is due on September 25, 2016 and we expect to pay the outstanding principal balance in its entirety, which was $60.9 million at June 30, 2016.

Contractual Obligations

Refer to the “Contractual Obligations” section within “Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report for a discussion of our contractual obligations. Our contractual obligations have not materially changed from the date of that Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2016, we were not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Refer to "Critical Accounting Estimates" within “Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

ARISTADA

On July 13, 2015, Otsuka PD&C filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA which requested that the FDA refuse to approve the NDA for ARISTADA or delay approval of such NDA until the exclusivity rights covering long-acting aripiprazole expire in December 2017. The FDA approved ARISTADA on October 5, 2015 and, concurrent with such approval, denied Otsuka PD&C’s Citizen Petition.

On October 15, 2015, Otsuka filed an action for declaratory and injunctive relief with the DC Court against Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Dr. Stephen Ostroff, Acting Commissioner, FDA; and the FDA, requesting that the DC Court (a) expedite the legal proceedings; (b) declare that the FDA’s denial of Otsuka’s claimed exclusivity rights and approval of the ARISTADA NDA were arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law; (c) vacate FDA’s approval of the ARISTADA NDA and vacate any FDA decisions or actions underlying or supporting or predicated upon that approval; (d) declare that Otsuka’s claimed exclusivity rights preclude FDA from granting approval of the Alkermes NDA until the expiration of such exclusivity rights in December 2017; and (e) grant any and all other, further, and additional relief, including all necessary and appropriate protective preliminary, interim, or permanent relief, as the nature of the cause may require, including all necessary and appropriate declarations of rights and injunctive relief. The Company believes Otsuka’s action is without merit and will vigorously defend ARISTADA against such action. The Company successfully intervened in, and received the DC Court’s approval to become a party to, this action. The DC Court held a hearing on the case in January 2016. The action is currently pending before the DC Court. For information about risks relating to this action, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report and specifically the section entitled “Citizen Petitions and other actions filed with, or litigation against, the FDA or other regulatory agencies or litigation against Alkermes may negatively impact the approval of our products and our business.”

AMPYRA

AMPYRA ANDA Litigation

Ten separate Paragraph IV Certification Notices have been submitted to us and/or the Company’s licensee Acorda from Accord Healthcare, Inc.; Actavis; Alkem Laboratories Ltd.; Apotex, Inc.; Aurobindo; Mylan; Par; Roxane Laboratories, Inc.; Sun; and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., advising that each of these companies had submitted an ANDA to the FDA seeking marketing approval for generic versions of AMPYRA (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg. The ANDA filers have challenged the validity of the Orange Book-listed patents for AMPYRA, and they have also asserted that their generic versions do not infringe certain claims of these patents. In response, the Company and/or Acorda filed lawsuits against the ANDA filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,540,938 (which the Company owns), 8,663,685; 8,440,703; 8,354,437 and 8,007,826 (which are owned by Acorda). Requested judicial remedies include recovery of litigation costs and injunctive relief. Lawsuits with eight of the ANDA filers have been consolidated into a single case. The Delaware Court has set a five-day bench trial starting on September 19, 2016. Mylan is challenging the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court with respect to the Delaware action. Due to Mylan’s motion to dismiss, the Company, together with Acorda, also filed another patent infringement suit against Mylan in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia asserting the same U.S. patents and requesting the same judicial relief as in the Delaware action. In March 2016, the Federal Circuit upheld the Delaware Court’s ruling that the litigation against Mylan can continue in the Delaware Court. In June 2016, the Federal Circuit denied Mylan’s request for a rehearing to reconsider its previous ruling. Mylan may seek an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. All lawsuits were filed within 45 days from the date of receipt of each of the Paragraph IV Certification Notices. As a result, a 30-month statutory stay of approval period applies to each of the ANDAs under the Hatch-Waxman Act. The 30-month stay starts from January 22, 2015, which is the end of the new chemical entity exclusivity period for AMPYRA. This stay restricts the FDA from approving the ANDAs until July 2017 at the earliest, unless a Federal district court issues a decision adverse to all of the asserted Orange Book-listed patents prior to that date.

The Company and/or Acorda has entered into a settlement agreement with each of the Settling ANDA Filers to resolve the patent litigation that the Company and/or Acorda brought against the Settling ANDA Filers in the Delaware Court as described above. As a result of the settlement agreements, the Settling ANDA Filers will be permitted to market
