    Highlights:

    ·       Q2 product sales growth of 7% excluding INTUNIV (12% on a Non GAAP CER
    basis); first half product sales excluding INTUNIV up 11% (16% on a Non GAAP
    CER basis)

    ·       Product sales this quarter driven by strong performance from  VYVANSE
    ®,  FIRAZYR®, LIALDA®/MEZAVANT®

    ·       Early positive momentum from NPS Pharmaceuticals ("NPS") products,
    NATPARA® and GATTEX®/REVESTIVE®; NPS commercial integration complete

    ·       Significant Q2 investment in future growth drivers including the launch
    of the Binge Eating Disorder ("BED") adult indication, market expansion of
    VYVANSE in adults and behind GATTEX/REVESTIVE and NATPARA acquired with NPS

    ·       Innovative pipeline advancing, with SHP465 pediatric Phase 3 initiated
    ahead of schedule, favorable FDA feedback on path forward for Maribavir Phase
    3, and OPUS 3 for lifitegrast fully enrolled

    ·       SHP625 Phase 2 studies in two rare cholestatic liver indications (PBC,
    PFIC) did not meet primary endpoints; totality of data under review to
    determine path forward

    ·       Non-cash impairments for SHP625 and SHP608 affect US GAAP operating
    income; payments related to purchase of NPS impact cash generation([1])

    ·       Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS growth guidance increased to
    mid-to-high single digit percent range for the full year (2015)

    Flemming Ornskov, M.D. Chief Executive Officer, commented:

    Alongside our strong performance in the first half of 2015, we are progressing
    our transformation to becoming a leading global biotech company and are
    confident in delivering on our 10x20 ambitions. During the second quarter, we
    delivered 7% product sales growth on a reported basis and 12% on a Non GAAP CER
    basis, in both cases excluding INTUNIV. This is a solid performance, achieved
    amid continued investment in future innovation and growth drivers. I am
    especially pleased with the performance of VYVANSE both in the adult ADHD
    market and with the launch of the new adult indication for moderate to severe
    Binge Eating Disorder. The early performance of the products we gained from NPS
    underscores our ability to acquire and integrate assets and deliver value.
    Given our first half performance and confidence in the underlying business, we
    are increasing our full-year earnings guidance, and now expect Non GAAP diluted
    earnings per ADS growth to be in the mid-to-high single digit percent range for
    2015. Additionally, we expect to meet our 10x20 target of $6.5 billion of
    product sales in 2016, and exceed it with the contribution from our recent
    acquisition of NPS.

    ·       Product sales excluding INTUNIV were up 7% (up 12% on a Non GAAP CER
    basis), with strong growth from VYVANSE([2]) (up 18% to $425 million), LIALDA/
    MEZAVANT (up 10% to $158 million), and FIRAZYR (up 17% to $104 million). 
    GATTEX/REVESTIVEcontinued to gain positive momentum with $37 million of sales
    and NATPARA had strong initial sales of $6 million.

    ·       Total product sales including INTUNIV were broadly flat on Q2 2014 (up
    6% on a Non GAAP CER basis) at $1,476 million (Q2 2014: $1,470 million) as
    product sales in Q2 2015 were held back by significantly lower INTUNIV sales
    (down 91% to $9 million) following the introduction of generic competition from
    December 2014.

    As expected, product sales growth in Q2 2015 was also held back by over 5
    percentage points due to foreign exchange headwinds from the strong US dollar,
    primarily affecting sales of ELAPRASE®, REPLAGAL® and VPRIV®.

    ·       Total revenues were up 4% to $1,558 million (Q2 2014: $1,502 million),
    as Q2 2015 benefited from higher royalties, principally the first time
    inclusion of a full quarter of SENSIPAR® royalties acquired with NPS.

    ·       On a Non GAAP basis:

    Operating income was down 3% to $614 million (Q2 2014: $630 million) as
    combined R&D and SG&A costs increased at a higher rate (up 16%) than total
    revenues (up 4%).  Compared to Q2 2014, R&D costs increased by 14% and SG&A
    costs increased by 17%, in part due to the inclusion of a first full quarter of
    NPS operating costs.

    Non GAAP EBITDA margin (excluding royalties and other revenues)was 39%, down 5
    percentage points compared to Q2 2014 (Q2 2014: 44%), as we invested behind the
    launch of VYVANSE for the treatment of moderate to severe BED in adults,
    continued the progression of our pipeline and invested behind GATTEX and
    NATPARA acquired with NPS.

    On a US GAAP basis (from continuing operations):

    Operating income was down 61% to $133 million (Q2 2014: $338 million).  US GAAP
    operating income in Q2 2015 was impacted by IPR&D impairment charges ($523
    million) relating to SHP625([3]) and SHP608([4]), offset by the partial release
    of associated contingent consideration liabilities ($280 million).

    ·       Non GAAP diluted earnings per American Depository Share ("ADS")
    decreased 2% to $2.63 (Q2 2014: $2.67) primarily due to the lower Non GAAP
    operating income partially offset by a lower effective tax rate on Non GAAP
    income.

    On a US GAAP basis diluted earnings per ADS decreased 70% to $0.81 (Q2 2014:
    $2.66) primarily due to lower US GAAP operating income.

    ·       Cash generation, a Non GAAP measure, was 23% lower at $505 million (Q2
    2014: $659 million).  Underlying strong cash generation was held back by
    payments relating to the acquisition and integration of NPS and the timing of
    rebate payments in Q2 2015.

    Free cash flow, a Non GAAP measure, was down 48% to $432 million (Q2 2014: $830
    million), due to lower cash generation and when compared to Q2 2014 which
    includes the benefit of a $248 million repayment received from the Canadian
    revenue authorities.

    On a US GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was down 46% to
    $452 million (Q2 2014: $834 million), as Q2 2014 benefited from the $248
    million repayment received from the Canadian revenue authorities.

    ·       Net debt, a Non GAAP measure, at June 30, 2015 was $2,253 million
    (December 31, 2014: Net cash of $2,119 million) reflecting the use of cash and
    cash equivalents and borrowings incurred to fund the acquisition of NPS.

    On a US GAAP basis, cash and cash equivalents were $64 million at June 30, 2015
    (December 31, 2014: $2,982 million).

    OUTLOOK

    Following our strong performance in the first half of 2015, we've increased our
    guidance for Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS to mid-to-high single digits
    growth in 2015 (prior guidance: mid-single digits).

    On a Non GAAP CER basis we now expect product sales growth in the high single
    digits (prior guidance: mid-to-high single digits). When excluding INTUNIV, we
    anticipate low teens product sales growth on a Non GAAP CER basis (prior
    guidance: low double digit).

    We now anticipate product sales growth to increase 4-5% on a reported basis
    (prior guidance: low-to-mid single digits). We continue to expect product sales
    growth to be held back three to four percentage points by foreign exchange
    headwinds which continue to most significantly impact ELAPRASE, REPLAGAL and
    VPRIV sales.

    Royalties and other revenues are now expected to increase by 45-55% in 2015
    (prior guidance: 30-40% higher).

    Our Non GAAP gross margin is expected to be in line with 2014 (2014: 85.8%).

    We continue to expect combined Non GAAP R&D and SG&A to increase in the high
    single digits.  We expect that operating cost growth will moderate in the
    second half of the year as we compare against higher 2014 comparatives.

    We expect our Non GAAP net interest and other expense to be in line with 2014
    levels.

    For 2015, we expect our effective tax rate on Non GAAP income to be in the
    range of 15-17%, before reverting to the 17-19% range in 2016 and beyond.

    Taken together, we've increased our earnings guidance for the full year 2015,
    and now expect to deliver Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS growth in the
    mid-to-high single digits in 2015 (low double digit growth on a Non GAAP CER
    basis).

    Additionally, we expect to meet our 10x20 target of $6.5 billion of product
    sales in 2016, and exceed it with the contribution from our recent acquisition
    of NPS.

    SECOND QUARTER 2015 AND RECENT PRODUCT AND PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTS

    Products

    INTUNIV - for the treatment of ADHD in the European Union

    ·       The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP") of the
    European Medicines Agency ("EMA") is expected to issue an opinion at its July
    meeting on whether to recommend a marketing authorization approval for the
    INTUNIV (guanfacine) extended release drug product, a non-stimulant proposed to
    treat ADHD in paediatric patients.  The July CHMP meeting is held July 20-23,
    2015.

    RESOLOR- for the Symptomatic Treatment of Chronic Constipation in Men

    ·       On May 27, 2015 Shire received the EC decision amending the terms of
    the Resolor Marketing Authorisation to the use of RESOLOR in adults for the
    symptomatic treatment of chronic constipation for whom laxatives fail to
    provide adequate relief. In Europe, RESOLOR was initially approved for use in
    women only, so the new variation extends the use of this treatment to male
    patients.

    VYVANSE - for the treatment of moderate to severe BED in adults

    ·       Topline results from a 39-week, long-term maintenance of efficacy study
    (SPD489-346) in adults with moderate to severe BED showed VYVANSE superior to
    placebo (p<.001) on the primary efficacy endpoint of time to relapse of binge
    eating symptoms. At the conclusion of the trial, patients continuing on VYVANSE
    had a lower proportion of relapse of 5/136 (3.7%) as compared to patients
    continuing on placebo 42/131 (32.1%).

    ·       The results of a separate, 12-month open-label safety extension study
    (SPD489-345) were generally consistent with the safety profile currently
    outlined in the United States Prescribing information.

    ·       Based on the results of these studies, the Company plans to submit a
    supplemental New Drug Application by year end to the US Food and Drug
    Administration ("FDA"). The FDA will evaluate adding this data to the current
    labeling for VYVANSE.

    Pipeline

    We continued to advance our broad and deep pipeline over the course of the
    second quarter.

    SHP606 (lifitegrast) - for the treatment of Dry Eye Disease

    ·       Shire has fully enrolled a Phase 3 safety and efficacy study (OPUS-3)
    in support of potential US and potential international regulatory submissions.
    OPUS-3 is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled,
    parallel arm study with a 14 day open-label placebo screening run-in period
    followed by a 12 week randomized, masked treatment period with a primary
    efficacy endpoint in subjective patient reported symptoms of dry eye disease as
    measured by the eye dryness score.

    SHP465 - for the treatment of adults with ADHD

    ·       On April 7, 2015 Shire announced that it had reached an agreement with
    the FDA on a clear regulatory path for SHP465.  Shire has begun dosing patients
    in a Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of SHP465 administered as
    a daily morning dose compared to a placebo in the treatment of children and
    adolescents (6-17 years of age inclusive) diagnosed with ADHD.

    SHP620 (maribavir) - for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection in
    transplant patients

    ·       In late June 2015, Shire conducted an end of Phase 2 meeting with the
    FDA and received further clarity on the path forward.  Based on this feedback,
    Shire is considering progressing the program into Phase 3 in 2016.

    SHP631 - for the treatment of both the central nervous system ("CNS") and
    somatic manifestations in patients with Hunter syndrome ("MPS II")

    ·       In Q2 2015, a Phase 1 trial of SHP631 (also known as AGT-182) was
    initiated. SHP631 is an investigational enzyme replacement therapy for the
    potential treatment of both the CNS and somatic manifestations in patients with
    MPS II.

    SHP625 - for the treatment of cholestatic liver disease

    ·       In late May 2015, Shire received results from the CLARITY trial, a 13
    week, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study in combination with
    Ursodeoxycholic Acid in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. SHP625 did not meet the
    primary endpoint as measured by change in pruritus or the secondary endpoint in
    level of liver disease as measured by alkaline phosphatase. However, there was
    a significant reduction in mean serum bile acid levels versus placebo.

    ·       In June 2015, Shire also received preliminary results from an interim
    analysis of the INDIGO study, a 72 week open label Phase 2 study in Progressive
    Familial Intraheptic Cholestatis. The interim analysis was based on the first
    12 subjects who completed 13 weeks of treatment per protocol. SHP625 was well
    tolerated but there was no statistically significant reduction in mean serum
    bile levels from baseline. A change from baseline analysis was planned as there
    is no placebo treatment arm in this study. The changes from baseline for
    pruritus did reach statistical significance. 5 of the 20 patients who received
    the drug experienced sustained decreases from baseline in serum bile acids
    ranging from 86 to 99% and also experienced marked reductions in pruritus as
    evidenced by absence of or only mild scratching at their last evaluation in
    this ongoing study.  In this subset of patients where biomarkers of liver
    damage were elevated at baseline, as assessed by alanine transaminase and Total
    Bilirubin, these values were normalized during the study.  Shire continues to
    analyze the totality of the data to determine an appropriate path forward.

    BOARD AND COMMITTEE CHANGES

    On June 11, 2015 Shire announced the appointment of Olivier Bohuon to the Shire
    Board of Directors as a Non-Executive Director. Olivier will also be a member
    of the Science & Technology Committee of the Shire Board. Both appointments
    were effective from July 1, 2015.

    DIVIDEND

    In respect of the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Board resolved to pay an
    interim dividend of 4.21 US cents per Ordinary Share (2014: 3.83 US cents per
    Ordinary Share).

    Dividend payments will be made in Pounds Sterling to holders of Ordinary Shares
    and in US Dollars to holders of ADSs. A dividend of 2.69(1) pence per Ordinary
    Share (an increase of 20% compared to 2014: 2.24 pence) and 12.63 US cents per
    ADS (an increase of 10% compared to 2014: 11.49 US cents) will be paid on
    October 2, 2015 to shareholders on the register as at the close of business on
    September 4, 2015.

    VYVANSE - ADHD and BED

    VYVANSE product sales grew strongly (up 18%) in Q2 2015 compared to Q2 2014,
    primarily due to higher prescription demand in both the US and ROW markets and
    the benefit of a price increase taken since Q2 2014.  Sales also benefited from
    higher stocking in Q2 2015 compared to Q2 2014.  VYVANSE was made available in
    mid-February for moderate to severe BED in adults and we have been pleased with
    the overall increase in VYVANSE prescriptions since the product became
    available for that indication.

    LIALDA/MEZAVANT - Ulcerative Colitis

    Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT in Q2 2015 were up 10%, primarily driven by
    higher prescription demand due to higher market share and the benefit of a
    price increase taken since Q2 2014. Growth was partially offset by higher sales
    deductions as a percentage of product sales.

    ELAPRASE - Hunter syndrome

    ELAPRASE product sales in Q2 2015 were down 4% compared to Q2 2014, reflecting
    the negative impact of foreign exchange movements partially offset by higher
    unit sales from an increase in the number of patients on therapy.  On a Non
    GAAP CER basis ELAPRASE sales were up 9% compared to Q2 2014.

    CINRYZE - for the prophylactic treatment of Hereditary Angioedema ("HAE")

    CINRYZE sales were up 7% on Q2 2014 (up 8% on a Non GAAP CER basis), primarily
    driven by strong growth in patients on therapy and the benefit of a price
    increase taken since Q2 2014, partially offset by destocking in the quarter.

    REPLAGAL - Fabry disease

    REPLAGAL sales were down 10% compared to Q2 2014, driven primarily by the
    negative impact of foreign exchange.  On a Non GAAP CER basis REPLAGAL sales
    were up 4% compared to Q2 2014.

    FIRAZYR - for the treatment of acute HAE attacks

    FIRAZYR product sales were up 17% (up 20% on a Non GAAP CER basis), primarily
    due to growth in patients on therapy and a price increase taken in January
    2015.

    ADDERALL XR - ADHD

    ADDERALL XR product sales were down 14% in Q2 2015, increased prescription
    demand (up 12%) was more than offset by the effect of higher sales deductions
    as a percentage of product sales in Q2 2015 compared to Q2 2014.

    VPRIV - Gaucher disease

    VPRIV product sales in Q2 2015 were down 6% (up 3% on a Non GAAP CER basis).
     Continued growth in the number of patients on therapy was more than offset by
    the negative impact of foreign exchange movements. 

    PENTASA - Ulcerative Colitis

    PENTASA product sales increased in Q2 2015 (up 5%) driven by price increases
    taken since Q2 2014, partially offset by higher sales deductions as a
    percentage of product sales and a decrease in prescription demand.

    GATTEX/REVESTIVE - Short Bowel Syndrome ("SBS")

    Shire acquired GATTEX/REVESTIVE through its acquisition of NPS on February 21,
    2015, and recorded sales of $37 million in Q2 2015 (up 70% on a pro-forma basis
    (1)).

    (1) Sales prior to February 21, 2015 were recorded by NPS, prior to the
    acquisition by Shire.

    INTUNIV - ADHD

    INTUNIV product sales were down 91% in Q2 2015 reflecting the impact of generic
    competitors in December 2014 and June 2015, which resulted in lower
    prescription demand and significantly higher sales deductions as a percentage
    of product sales.

    NATPARA - Hypoparathyroidism

    Shire made NATPARA available on April 1, 2015, after acquiring the product
    through its acquisition of NPS.  In Q2 2015 sales of $6 million were recorded.

    Royalty income increased by 171% in Q2 2015 due to the inclusion of royalty
    income receivable from Amgen for SENSIPAR (following the acquisition of NPS by
    Shire), and the royalties receivable from Actavis on its generic sales of
    INTUNIV.

    Non GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased by 1
    percentage point in Q2 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, reflecting
    lower inventory write-offs in Q2 2015.

    US GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased by 4
    percentage points in Q2 2015 due to lower charges in relation to the unwind of
    the fair value adjustment on acquired inventories.

    Non GAAP R&D increased by $28.9 million, or 14% in Q2 2015, due to the
    inclusion of a first full quarter of NPS R&D and continued investment in
    existing pipeline programs.

    US GAAP R&D increased by $539.0 million, or 228% as Q2 2015 included intangible
    asset impairment charges related to the SHP625 IPR&D asset ($347 million), due
    to lower probability of regulatory approval following trial results, and
    impairment charges related to the SHP608 IPR&D asset ($177 million), due to
    pre-clinical toxicity findings.

    Non GAAP SG&A increased by $66.1 million, or 17%, due to increased investment
    behind launches, including the successful launch of VYVANSE for the treatment
    of moderate to severe BED in adults, and the first time inclusion of a full
    quarter of NPS's SG&A costs.

    US GAAP SG&A increased by $131.1 million, or 26%, in part as a result of higher
    amortization charges on intangible assets acquired with NPS.

    Gain on sale of product rights

    For the three months to June 30, 2015 Shire recorded a net gain on sale of
    non-core product rights of $7.1 million (Q2 2014: $3.8 million) due primarily
    to the re-measurement of the contingent consideration receivable relating to
    the divestment of DAYTRANA.

    Reorganization costs

    For the three months to June 30, 2015 Shire recorded reorganization costs of
    $13.3 million (Q2 2014:  $45.8 million). Costs in the second quarter of 2015
    primarily related to the relocation of roles from Chesterbrook to Lexington.

    Integration and acquisition costs

    For the three months to June 30, 2015 Shire recorded a net credit for
    integration and acquisition costs of $212.4 million, which comprised
    integration and acquisition costs primarily related to NPS of $45.7 million and
    a net credit of $258.1 million for the change in fair value of contingent
    consideration liabilities, primarily relating to SHP625 (acquired with Lumena
    Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and SHP608 (acquired with Lotus Tissue Repair Inc).

    In Q2 2014 Shire recorded integration and acquisition costs of $112.1 million.
    This net charge included costs of $31.5 million related to the acquisition and
    integration of ViroPharma and $80.6 million relating to the change in fair
    values of contingent consideration liabilities.

    Interest expense

    For the three months to June 30, 2015 Shire incurred interest expense of $11.3
    million (Q2 2014: $11.1 million). Interest expense in Q2 2015 primarily related
    to interest and the amortization of financing fees incurred on borrowings to
    fund the NPS acquisition. Interest expense in Q2 2014 principally related to
    interest and amortization of issue costs incurred on borrowings to fund the
    ViroPharma acquisition.

    Taxation

    The effective rate of tax on Non GAAP income in Q2 2015 was 13% (Q2 2014: 16%),
    and on a US GAAP basis the effective rate of tax was -37% (Q2 2014: -51%).

    The effective rate of tax in Q2 2015 on Non GAAP income from continuing
    operations is lower than the same period in 2014 primarily due to the
    re-measurement of uncertain tax positions relating to ongoing tax audits and
    the release of certain valuation allowances in the quarter.

    The effective rate of tax in Q2 2015 on US GAAP income from continuing
    operations is negative primarily due to the reduction in deferred tax
    liabilities in relation to the impairment of IPR&D intangible assets, the
    re-measurement of uncertain tax positions relating to ongoing tax audits and
    the release of certain valuation allowances all recognised during the quarter.

    The effective rate of tax in Q2 2014 on US GAAP income was negative primarily
    due to the recognition of a net tax credit in relation to the settlement of tax
    positions with the Canadian revenue authorities.

    Discontinued operations

    The loss from discontinued operations for the three months to June 30, 2015 was
    $4.5 million net of tax (Q2 2014: $5.2 million) relating to costs associated
    with the divestment of the DERMAGRAFT business.

    THE "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
    OF 1995

    Statements included herein that are not historical facts, including without
    limitation statements concerning our 10x20 ambitions and targets, are
    forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of
    risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event
    such risks or uncertainties materialize, Shire's results could be materially
    adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
    to, that:

    ·         Shire's products may not be a commercial success;

    ·         product sales from ADDERALL XR and INTUNIV are subject to generic
    competition;

    ·         the failure to obtain and maintain reimbursement, or an adequate
    level of reimbursement, by third-party payers in a timely manner for Shire's
    products may affect future revenues, financial condition and results of
    operations;

    ·         Shire conducts its own manufacturing operations for certain of its
    products and is reliant on third party contract manufacturers to manufacture
    other products and to provide goods and services. Some of Shire's products or
    ingredients are only available from a single approved source for manufacture.
    Any disruption to the supply chain for any of Shire's products may result in
    Shire being unable to continue marketing or developing a product or may result
    in Shire being unable to do so on a commercially viable basis for some period
    of time;

    ·         the manufacture of Shire's products is subject to extensive oversight
    by various regulatory agencies. Regulatory approvals or interventions
    associated with changes to manufacturing sites, ingredients or manufacturing
    processes could lead to significant delays, an increase in operating costs,
    lost product sales, an interruption of research activities or the delay of new
    product launches;

    ·         Shire has a portfolio of products in various stages of research and
    development. The successful development of these products is highly uncertain
    and requires significant expenditures and time, and there is no guarantee that
    these products will receive regulatory approval;

    ·         the actions of certain customers could affect Shire's ability to sell
    or market products profitably. Fluctuations in buying or distribution patterns
    by such customers can adversely affect Shire's revenues, financial condition or
    results of operations;

    ·         investigations or enforcement action by regulatory authorities or law
    enforcement agencies relating to Shire's activities in the highly regulated
    markets in which it operates may result in significant legal costs and the
    payment of substantial compensation or fines;

    ·         adverse outcomes in legal matters and other disputes, including
    Shire's ability to enforce and defend patents and other intellectual property
    rights required for its business, could have a material adverse effect on
    Shire's revenues, financial condition or results of operations;

    ·         Shire faces intense competition for highly qualified personnel from
    other companies and organizations. Shire is undergoing a corporate
    reorganization and was the subject of an unsuccessful acquisition proposal and
    the consequent uncertainty could adversely affect Shire's ability to attract
    and/or retain the highly skilled personnel needed for Shire to meet its
    strategic objectives;

    ·         failure to achieve Shire's strategic objectives with respect to the
    acquisition of NPS Pharmaceuticals Inc. may adversely affect Shire's financial
    condition and results of operations; and

    other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Shire's filings
    with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks outlined in
    "Item 1A: Risk Factors" in Shire's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
    ended December 31, 2014.

    NON GAAP MEASURES

    This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with
    US GAAP. These measures are referred to as "Non GAAP" measures and include: Non
    GAAP operating income; Non GAAP net income; Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS;
    effective tax rate on Non GAAP income before income taxes and earnings/(losses)
    of equity method investees ("effective tax rate on Non GAAP income"); Non GAAP
    cost of product sales; Non GAAP gross margin; Non GAAP R&D; Non GAAP SG&A; Non
    GAAP other income/(expense); Non GAAP interest income; Non GAAP cash
    generation; Non GAAP free cash flow, Non GAAP net cash/(debt), Non GAAP EBITDA
    and Non GAAP EBITDA margin (excluding royalties and other revenues)([5]). These
    Non GAAP measures exclude the effect of certain cash and non-cash items that
    Shire's management believes are not related to the core performance of Shire's
    business.

    These Non GAAP financial measures are used by Shire's management to make
    operating decisions because they facilitate internal comparisons of Shire's
    performance to historical results and to competitors' results. Shire's
    Remuneration Committee uses certain key Non GAAP measures when assessing the
    performance and compensation of employees, including Shire's directors.

    The Non GAAP measures are presented in this press release as Shire's management
    believe that they will provide investors with a means of evaluating, and an
    understanding of how Shire's management evaluates, Shire's performance and
    results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise apparent on a US GAAP
    basis, since many non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that Shire's
    management believe are not indicative of the core performance of the business
    may not be excluded when preparing financial measures under US GAAP.

    These Non GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as
    substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with
    US GAAP.

    Where applicable the following items, including their tax effect, have been
    excluded when calculating Non GAAP earnings for both 2015 and 2014, and from
    our Outlook:

    Amortization and asset impairments:

    ·         Intangible asset amortization and impairment charges; and

    ·         Other than temporary impairment of investments.

    Acquisitions and integration activities:

    ·         Up-front payments and milestones in respect of in-licensed and
    acquired products;

    ·         Costs associated with acquisitions, including transaction costs, fair
    value adjustments on contingent consideration and acquired inventory;

    ·         Costs associated with the integration of companies; and

    ·         Noncontrolling interests in consolidated variable interest entities.

    Divestments, reorganizations and discontinued operations:

    ·         Gains and losses on the sale of non-core assets;

    ·         Costs associated with restructuring and reorganization activities;

    ·         Termination costs; and

    ·         Income/(losses) from discontinued operations.

    Legal and litigation costs:

    ·         Net legal costs related to the settlement of litigation, government
    investigations and other disputes (excluding internal legal team costs).

    Other:

    ·         Net income tax credit (being income tax, interest and estimated
    penalties) related to the settlement of certain tax positions with the Canadian
    revenue authorities;

    ·         Costs associated with AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire, including
    costs of employee retention awards; and

    ·         Break fee received in relation to AbbVie's terminated offer for
    Shire.

    Depreciation, which is included in Cost of product sales, R&D and SG&A costs in
    our US GAAP results, has been separately disclosed for the presentation of 2015
    and 2014 Non GAAP earnings.

    Cash generation represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding
    up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, tax and
    interest payments. 

    Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, excluding
    up-front and milestone payments for in-licensed and acquired products, but
    including capital expenditure in the ordinary course of business. 

    A reconciliation of Non GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
    measure under US GAAP is presented on pages 21 to 26.

    Growth at CER, which is a Non GAAP measure, is computed by restating 2015
    results using average 2014 foreign exchange rates for the relevant period.

    Average exchange rates used by Shire for the six months to June 30, 2015 were
    $1.53:£1.00 and $1.13:€1.00 (2014: $1.67:£1.00 and $1.37:€1.00). Average
    exchange rates used by Shire for Q2 2015 were $1.52:£1.00 and $1.10:€1.00
    (2014: $1.68:£1.00 and $1.38:€1.00).
