(1) Figures compare Q3 2009 results with the same period in 2008. 
 
(2) Core products represent Shire's products excluding ADDERALL XR. 
 
(3) Sales growth at constant exchange rates ("CER"), which is a Non 
    GAAP measure, is calculated after restating Q3 2009 results using Q3 2008 
    average foreign exchange rates. 
 
Angus Russell, Chief Executive Officer, commented: 
 
"Shire continues to deliver excellent growth from its core products, which 
were up 20% over an exceptionally strong Q3 2008. This performance reflects 
our transformation in the past few years into a global biopharmaceutical 
company with a proven differentiated strategy and a balanced portfolio of new 
products which is protected by strong exclusivity and patent protection. 
 
The growth of our core products and continued pro-active cost management are 
positioning us well to deliver on our unchanged guidance framework for 2009 
and our aspiration of growing sales in the mid-teens range on average between 
2009 and 2015. 
 
Following US approval of INTUNIV, our new ADHD treatment, we are preparing for 
the US launch next week. INTUNIV adds a new choice of treatment for physicians 
and patients within our market-leading branded portfolio of ADHD products. We 
have also continued to grow VYVANSE's market share which is now 13.4%, 
benefiting from both the `back to school' season and strong 10% ADHD market 
growth. These results reinforce our confidence that VYVANSE will grow to 
become a leading product in this market. 
 
Our HGT business continues to deliver; a New Drug Application for 
velaglucerase alfa, for Gaucher disease, was filed with the FDA at the end of 
August. Velaglucerase alfa is available ahead of its commercial launch in the 
US via a treatment protocol and elsewhere on a pre-approval access basis. We 
are supporting the Fabry disease community with a stronger uptake of REPLAGAL 
in Europe. In the US a treatment protocol has been approved, enabling 
immediate access to the drug. In addition we plan to file a Biologics License 
Application with the FDA for REPLAGAL by the end of the year. 
 
We continue to invest in our R&D pipeline. This quarter we announced a 
research collaboration with Santaris Pharma A/S, a leading player in RNA-based 
therapeutics, to develop its proprietary Locked Nucleic Acid technology in a 
range of rare diseases, thereby enabling us to build on our already strong 
competitive position in this area."

FINANCIAL SUMMARY 
 
Third Quarter 2009 (see page 7 for full Financial Results) 
 
- Product sales from core products were up 20% (up 23% at CER) to $532 
million, driven by continued strong growth from: 
 
- VYVANSE® (up 34% to $129 million); 
 
- LIALDA® /MEZAVANT® (up 62% to $65 million); 
 
- ELAPRASE® (up 16% to $91 million, up 20% at CER); and 
 
- REPLAGAL® (up 8% to $48 million, up 15% at CER). 
 
- Product sales including ADDERALL® XR, were down 15% to $603 million, as 
ADDERALL XR product sales declined by 74%, or $198 million to $71 million. 
 
- Non GAAP operating income decreased by 52%, or $145 million, to $134 million 
due to the lower ADDERALL XR revenues in Q3 2009 and increased investment in 
research and development, which were partially offset by higher revenues from 
core products and lower selling, general and administrative costs. On a US 
GAAP basis operating income in Q3 2009 was $92 million, compared to $123 
million in 2008 (2008 included the impact of a $121 million in-process R&D 
charge relating to the acquisition of Jerini AG ("Jerini")). 
 
- Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS were down 58% to $0.49 (Q3 2008: $1.17), 
and on a US GAAP basis diluted earnings per ADS were $0.33 (Q3 2008: $(0.20)). 
 
- During the first three quarters of 2009 Shire has generated Non GAAP diluted 
earnings per ADS of $2.38 ($1.74 on a US GAAP basis). 
 
THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS 
 
Products 
 
VYVANSE - for the treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity 
Disorder ("ADHD") 
 
- Following a review of governing statutory and regulatory 
standards and public comments, the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has 
affirmed its prior decision to grant five-year New Chemical Entity ("NCE") 
exclusivity to lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. The five-year exclusivity period 
for VYVANSE expires on February 23, 2012. As a consequence of this decision, 
the FDA appropriately refused to file the Abbreviated New Drug Application 
submitted by Actavis Elizabeth, LLC ("Actavis") for generic lisdexamfetamine 
dimesylate in January 2009. VYVANSE is covered by US patents which remain in 
effect until June 29, 2023. 
 
INTUNIVtm - for the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents in 
the US 
 
- On September 3, 2009 Shire announced that it received approval 
from the FDA for INTUNIV Extended Release Tablets for the treatment of ADHD in 
children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years. INTUNIV, a once-daily 
non-scheduled formulation of guanfacine, is the first selective alpha-2A 
adrenergic receptor agonist approved for the treatment of ADHD. 
 
- Once-daily INTUNIV is expected to be widely available in US 
pharmacies in November 2009 and will come in four dosage strengths (1 mg, 2 
mg, 3 mg, and 4 mg). INTUNIV will be marketed in the US by the existing Shire 
ADHD sales team of nearly 600 representatives. 
 
FOSRENOL® - for the treatment of pre-dialysis chronic kidney 
disease ("CKD") in the EU 
 
- Shire has received approval through the European Mutual 
Recognition Procedure for an extension to the current indication for FOSRENOL 
as a treatment to control hyperphosphataemia in CKD patients who are not on 
dialysis and with a serum phosphorus level â%¥1.78mmol/L (5.5mg/dL). 
 
Pipeline 
 
Velaglucerase alfa - for the treatment of Gaucher disease 
 
- On July 30, 2009 Shire began the rolling submission with the FDA under Fast 
Track designation of a New Drug Application ("NDA") for velaglucerase alfa, 
its enzyme replacement therapy in development for the treatment of Type 1 
Gaucher disease. On September 1, 2009 Shire reported that it had completed its 
NDA submission. Velaglucerase alfa is available ahead of its commercial 
launch, in the US via a treatment protocol and elsewhere on a pre-approval 
basis, to 300-600 patients in 2009 and will be available to several hundred 
more in 2010. 
 
REPLAGAL - for the treatment of Fabry disease 
 
- On October 21, 2009 Shire announced plans to file a Biologics License 
Application with the FDA for REPLAGAL (agalsidase alfa), its enzyme 
replacement therapy for Fabry disease, by the end of the year. The Company 
also announced that a treatment protocol for REPLAGAL, filed at the request of 
the FDA, has been approved, and that Shire will support emergency 
Investigational New Drug requests, in view of the announced supply restriction 
of the only currently marketed treatment for Fabry disease in the US. 
 
FIRAZYR® - for the treatment of hereditary angioedema ("HAE") 
 
- In September 2009 Shire initiated a clinical trial to investigate the safety 
of self-administration of FIRAZYR. 
 
Amicus collaboration for the development of pharmacological chaperones 
 
- On November 7, 2007 Shire licensed from Amicus Therapeutics Inc. ("Amicus") 
the rights to three pharmacological chaperone compounds in markets outside of 
the US: AMIGAL (HGT-3310) for Fabry disease, PLICERA (HGT-3410) for Gaucher 
Disease and HGT-3510 (formerly referred to as AT2220) for Pompe disease which 
were in clinical development. The parties have mutually agreed to terminate 
the collaboration and to return all rights for the three products to Amicus. 
 
Alba collaboration for the development of SPD 550 
 
- On October 16, 2009 and following review of Phase 2 data, Shire informed 
Alba Therapeutics Corporation ("Alba") of its intent to terminate the 
collaboration. Effective November 15, 2009 Shire will return to Alba all 
rights to SPD 550 (larazotide cetate for celiac disease), also known as 
AT-1001. In December 2007 Shire had acquired rights to SPD550 in markets 
outside of the US and Japan. 
 
Business 
 
Research Collaboration with Santaris Pharma A/S ("Santaris") on Locked Nucleic 
Acid ("LNA") Drug Platform 
 
- On August 24, 2009 Shire announced that it had entered into a research 
collaboration with Santaris, to develop its proprietary LNA technology in a 
range of rare diseases. LNA technology has the benefit of shortened target 
validation and proof of concept, potentially increasing the speed and lowering 
the cost of development. As part of the joint research project Santaris will 
design, develop and deliver pre-clinical LNA oligonucleotides for 
Shire-selected orphan disease targets, and Shire will have the exclusive right 
to further develop and commercialize these candidate compounds on a worldwide 
basis. 
 
Legal proceedings 
 
- On September 23, 2009 the Company received a subpoena from the US Department 
of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General in coordination with 
the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking production 
of documents related to the sales and marketing of ADDERALL XR, DAYTRANA® and 
VYVANSE. Shire is cooperating and responding to this subpoena. 
 
- On October 19, 2009 Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. ("Teva") filed suit 
against Shire claiming that Shire is in breach of its supply contract for the 
authorized generic version of ADDERALL XR. Shire has been supplying Teva with 
authorized generic ADDERALL XR since April 1, 2009. Shire's ability to supply 
this product, however, is limited by quota restrictions that the US Drug 
Enforcement Administration places on amphetamine, which is the product's 
active ingredient. 
 
2009 OUTLOOK 
 
We are reiterating our previously announced guidance framework for Non GAAP 
diluted earnings per ADS for 2009, which remains unchanged from that provided 
in our Q3 2008 earnings release. At that time, and in subsequent earnings 
releases, we provided details of the effect of changes in foreign exchange 
rates on the earnings guidance. Specifically, our plans for 2009, supporting 
Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS for 2009 in the range of $3.00 to $3.40, 
were based on average actual foreign exchange rates (EUR1:$1.52, GBP1:$1.95) for 
the ten months to October 2008. During the first three quarters of 2009 we 
have already achieved Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS of $2.38. 
 
We identified that each 10c movement in the EUR:$ and GBP:$ exchange rates impacts 
Shire's Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS by $0.10 and $0.01 respectively. 
Based on the following exchange rate scenarios, which are not forecasts, the 
impact on our base guidance would be: 
 
                                Euro fx  GBP fx   Non GAAP diluted 
                                 rate    rate     earnings per 
                                                  ADS range (1) 
 
Base guidance                    $1.52  $1.95    $3.00 to $3.40 
As advised at Q2 2009            $1.37  $1.56    $2.80 to $3.20 
At average rate for nine months 
to September 2009 & September    $1.39  $1.56    $2.83 to $3.23 
average rate for Q4 2009 
 
 
(1) Our guidance framework for Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS is not 
prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS 
excludes the effect of certain cash and non-cash items, both recurring and 
non-recurring, that Shire's management believes are not related to the core 
performance of Shire's business. A list of these items can be found on pages 
26-27. 
 
PRODUCT LAUNCHES 
 
Subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory/governmental approvals, product 
launches planned over the next two years include: 
 
- INTUNIV for the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents in 
the US in November 2009 (already approved); 
 
- Velaglucerase alfa for the treatment of Gaucher disease in the US 
and the EU in 2010; 
 
- REPLAGAL for the treatment of Fabry disease in the US in 2010; 
 
- MEZAVANT for the treatment of ulcerative colitis; launches will 
continue in certain EU and RoW countries in 2009 and 2010; 
 
- FIRAZYR for the symptomatic treatment of acute attacks of HAE; launches will 
continue in certain European and Latin American countries during 2009 and 
2010; 
 
- DAYTRANA for the treatment of ADHD in adolescents in the US in 
2010; 
 
- EQUASYM® for the treatment of ADHD; launches will continue in 
certain EU countries during 2009 and 2010; and 
 
- VYVANSE for the treatment of ADHD, in ex-US and ex-EU regions 
starting in 2010, and in the EU in 2011.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS 
 
1. Introduction 
 
Summary of Q3 2009 
 
Revenues from continuing operations for the three months to September 30, 2009 
decreased by 14% to $667.0 million (2008: $778.6 million), due to the decline 
in branded ADDERALL XR product sales in Q3 2009 following the launch of an 
authorized generic version by Teva in April 2009. However, core product sales 
increased by 20% to $531.6 million (2008: $443.8 million). 
 
Non GAAP operating income for the three months to September 30, 2009 decreased 
by 52% to $133.6 million (2008: $278.6 million). Increased revenues from core 
products, combined with lower selling, general and administrative expenses 
achieved through the Company's continued focus on cost management partially 
offset the impact of lower revenues from ADDERALL XR and increased investment 
in research and development, in part reflecting the Santaris collaboration 
up-front costs and the acceleration of the velaglucerase program. 
 
US GAAP operating income from continuing operations for the three months to 
September 30, 2009 decreased by 25% to $91.8 million (2008: $122.9 million). 
US GAAP operating income in Q3 2008 included an in-process R&D ("IPR&D") 
charge of $120.5 million on the acquisition of Jerini in 2008. Excluding this 
charge the decline in US GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2009 
principally resulted from lower ADDERALL XR revenues following genericization 
in the second quarter of 2009. 
 
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by 52% to $134.0 million 
for the three months to September 30, 2009 (2008: $279.4 million). The cash 
provided by operating activities was lower in Q3 2009 than the same period in 
2008 due to lower sales receipts following the genericization of ADDERALL XR 
and cash inflows from forward exchange contracts in Q3 2008, which more than 
offset lower payments on operating costs. 
 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2009 totaled 
$372.0 million (December 31, 2008: $247.4 million), an increase of $124.6 
million. Cash provided by operating activities of $390.0 million in the nine 
months to September 30, 2009 have been partially offset by investments in 
property, plant and equipment at the HGT campus in Lexington, the acquisition 
of EQUASYM from UCB S.A. and the dividend payment. 
 
 
2. Product sales 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 product sales decreased by 15% to 
$602.5 million (2008: $712.5 million) and represented 91% of total revenues 
(2008: 92%). Excluding ADDERALL XR, product sales from core products increased 
by 20% to $531.6 million (2008: $443.8 million).

Specialty Pharmaceuticals 
 
US ADHD market share 
 
Shire's share of the total US ADHD market for the three months to September 
30, 2009 was 22%. Shire continues to have the leading portfolio of branded 
products in the US ADHD market. 
 
VYVANSE - ADHD 
 
Product sales of VYVANSE for the three months to September 30, 2009 increased 
by 34% to $129.0 million (2008: $96.0 million), with VYVANSE's average share 
of the US ADHD market for Q3 2009 increasing to 13% (2008: 9%). Product sales 
growth was driven by a 57% increase in US prescription demand in Q3 2009 over 
the same period in 2008, as a result of increased average market share and 10% 
growth in the US ADHD market. Product sales growth was less than prescription 
growth due to the stocking benefits from new dosage strengths of VYVANSE in Q3 
2008. 
 
ADDERALL XR - ADHD 
 
Product sales of ADDERALL XR for the three months to September 30, 2009 were 
$70.9 million (2008: $268.7 million), a decrease of 74%, following the launch 
by Teva in April 2009 of its authorized generic version of ADDERALL XR. The 
launch of the authorized generic version led to a 59% decline in ADDERALL XR 
US prescription demand and higher US sales deductions in Q3 2009 than the same 
period last year. 
 
Sales deductions represented 73% of branded ADDERALL XR gross sales in Q3 
2009, compared to 26% in the same period in 2008 following higher Medicaid and 
Managed Care rebates subsequent to generic launch. These factors more than 
offset the positive impacts of price increases taken since Q3 2008, and the 
inclusion in product sales of shipments of authorized generic ADDERALL XR to 
Teva and Impax Laboratories, Inc. ("Impax") in Q3 2009. 
 
US oral mesalamine market share 
 
Shire's average market share of the US oral mesalamine market was 33% for the 
three months to September 30, 2009. 
 
LIALDA/MEZAVANT - Ulcerative colitis 
 
Product sales of LIALDA/MEZAVANT for the three months to September 30, 2009 
increased by 62% to $65.4 million (2008: $40.4 million). US prescriptions 
increased by 34%, due to an increase in LIALDA's average share of the US oral 
mesalamine market to 17% (2008: 13%), underlying growth in the US oral 
mesalamine market and price increases. 
 
By September 30, 2009 MEZAVANT was available in eight countries outside the 
US, and further launches are planned in other countries throughout 2009 and 
2010, subject to the successful conclusion of pricing and reimbursement 
negotiations. 
 
PENTASA - Ulcerative colitis 
 
Product sales of PENTASA® for the three months to September 30, 2009 were 
$51.3 million, an increase of 4% compared to the same period in 2008 (2008: 
$49.2 million). Sales grew despite a 3% decrease in prescriptions primarily 
due to the impact of price increases. 
 
FOSRENOL - Hyperphosphatemia 
 
Product sales of FOSRENOL for the three months to September 30, 2009 were up 
11% to $47.7 million (2008: $43.0 million). On a CER basis sales were up 14%. 
In markets outside the US FOSRENOL sales increased as the product entered new 
countries, and continued to grow in countries entered in the last two years. 
In the US, FOSRENOL's average share of the phosphate binder market in Q3 2009 
remained constant at 8% (2008: 8%). 
 
Human Genetic Therapies 
 
ELAPRASE - Hunter syndrome 
 
Product sales for the three months to September 30, 2009 were $90.9 
million, an increase of 16% (2008: $78.2 million). Expressed on a CER basis, 
sales increased by 20% (ELAPRASE is primarily sold in US dollars and Euros). 
The sales growth was driven by increased volumes across all regions where 
ELAPRASE is sold. 
 
REPLAGAL - Fabry disease 
 
Product sales for the three months to September 30, 2009 were $48.3 
million, an increase of 8% (2008: $44.6 million). Expressed on a CER basis 
product sales increased by 15% (REPLAGAL is primarily sold in Euros and Pounds 
Sterling). The product sales growth was driven by increased volumes in Europe 
and Asia Pacific. 
 
FIRAZYR - HAE 
 
Product sales for the three months to September 30, 2009 were $1.8 
million (2008: $0.2 million). With a Q3 launch in Italy, FIRAZYR is now 
marketed in the five largest European countries. FIRAZYR is the first new 
product for HAE in Europe in 30 years and has orphan exclusivity in the EU 
until 2018. 
 
3. Royalties 
 
Royalty revenue decreased by 1% to $60.3 million for the three months to 
September 30, 2009 (2008: $60.8 million). The following table provides an 
analysis of Shire's royalty revenue:

Royalties from Teva's sales of authorized generic ADDERALL XR for 
the three months to September 30, 2009 were $2.2 million (2008: $nil). Receipt 
of this royalty began with Teva's sales of an authorized generic version of 
ADDERALL XR in April 2009 and ceased in September 2009. From Q4 2009, Shire 
will receive royalties on Impax's sales of its authorized generic version of 
ADDERALL XR.

(Non GAAP) 
 
Non GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales increased by 5 
percentage points compared to 2008. This increase primarily results from 
changes to the product mix following the launch by Teva of an authorized 
generic version of ADDERALL XR in April 2009. Higher sales deductions on 
Shire's sales of branded ADDERALL XR, together with lower margin sales of the 
authorized generic version of ADDERALL XR to Teva and Impax have both 
depressed gross margin for that product.

R&D (Non GAAP)          144.2      24%    116.8      16% 
 
 
Non GAAP R&D increased 23% to $144.2 million (2008: $116.8 million) as the 
Company has continued to increase investment in R&D programs, including an 
up-front payment of $6.5 million to Santaris for technology access and R&D 
funding in August 2009. Non GAAP R&D as a percentage of product sales 
increased due to lower product sales in Q3 2009 following the genericization 
of ADDERALL XR.

Non GAAP SG&A declined in absolute terms by 6% due to the Company's continued 
focus on cost management. Non GAAP SG&A increased as a percentage of product 
sales due to lower product sales following the genericization of ADDERALL XR. 
 
Gain on sale of product rights 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 Shire recorded gains of 
$6.3 million (2008: $4.0 million) from the sale of non-core products to 
Laboratorios Almirall S.A. in 2007. These gains had been deferred since 2007 
pending transfer of the relevant consents. 
 
Reorganization costs 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 Shire recorded 
reorganization costs of $2.0 million (2008: $nil) relating to the transfer of 
manufacturing from its Owings Mills facility. 
 
Integration and acquisition costs 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 Shire recorded integration and 
acquisition costs of $6.2 million (2008: $7.5 million), primarily relating to 
the integration of Jerini. 
 
Interest income 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 Shire received interest income of 
$0.2 million (2008: $3.8 million), primarily earned on cash and cash 
equivalents. Interest income for the three months to September 30, 2009 is 
lower than the same period in 2008 due to significantly lower interest rates 
in 2009 compared to 2008, and lower average cash and cash equivalent balances.

Interest expense (Non GAAP)                        9.4     19.9 
 
For the three months to September 30, 2009 the Company incurred interest 
expense of $9.4 million (2008: $92.9 million). Interest expense in 2008 was 
higher than 2009 due to accrued interest expense of $77.0 million recorded in 
respect of the Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. ("TKT") appraisal rights 
litigation; of the $77.0 million, $73.0 million was additional interest 
arising from the settlement of the litigation in November 2008.

Other income, net (Non GAAP)                      7.0       2.1 
 
Non GAAP other income, net in 2009 was higher than the same period in 2008 due 
to a gain recognized following the substantial modification of a property 
lease. 
 
Taxation 
 
The effective rate of tax for the three months to September 30, 2009 was 34% 
(2008: -103%), and the effective tax rate on Non GAAP income is 33% (2008: 
19%). 
 
The Non GAAP effective tax rate was higher in Q3 2009 compared to the same 
period in 2008 principally as a result of the recognition of valuation 
allowances against certain EU deferred tax assets and increases to accrued 
interest on tax contingencies in the third quarter of 2009. The adverse rate 
impact of these items was partially offset by foreign exchange gains on the 
retranslation of certain deferred tax assets, together with the benefit of tax 
return to provision adjustments following the submission of various tax 
returns in Q3 2009. 
 
Equity in earnings of equity method investees 
 
Equity in earnings of equity method investees of $0.6 million were recorded 
for the three months to September 30, 2009 (2008: $1.6 million). This 
comprised earnings of $1.4 million from the 50% share of the anti-viral 
commercialization partnership with GSK in Canada (2008: $1.6 million earnings) 
and losses of $0.8 million, being the Company's share of losses in the 
GeneChem, AgeChem and EGS Funds (2008: $nil).

(1) For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

(1) For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 
and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, certain stock options have 
been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their exercise 
prices exceeded Shire plc's average share price during the calculation period. 
 
(2) For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 
and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 the ordinary shares 
underlying the convertible bonds have not been included in the calculation of 
the diluted weighted average number of shares, because the effect of their 
inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 
 
(3) For the three month period ended September 30, 2008 no share 
options or ordinary shares underlying the convertible bonds have been included 
in the calculation of the diluted weighted average number of shares because 
the Company made a net loss during the calculation period and the inclusion of 
these items would be anti-dilutive.

(2) Under US GAAP the convertible bonds were not included in the calculation 
of the diluted weighted average number of shares nor was the after tax income 
statement effect of the bonds added to the numerator as the impact was 
anti-dilutive. On a Non GAAP basis the after tax impact of the convertible 
bond has been added to the numerator and the number of shares underlying the 
convertible bond are now included in the calculation of the diluted weighted 
average number of shares as they have a dilutive effect. 
 
The following items are included in Adjustments: 
 
(a) Amortization and asset impairments: Amortization of intangible assets 
relating to intellectual property rights acquired ($91.5 million), impairment 
charge in respect of DYNEPO intangible asset ($90.4 million), other than 
temporary impairment of available for sale securities ($54.1 million), and tax 
effect of adjustments;

THE "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT 
OF 1995 
 
Statements included herein that are not historical facts 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, the Company's results could be materially 
adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited 
to, risks associated with: the inherent uncertainty of research, development, 
approval, reimbursement, manufacturing and commercialization of the Company's 
Specialty Pharmaceutical and Human Genetic Therapies products, as well as the 
ability to secure and integrate new products for commercialization and/or 
development; government regulation of the Company's products; the Company's 
ability to manufacture its products in sufficient quantities to meet demand; 
the impact of competitive therapies on the Company's products; the Company's 
ability to register, maintain and enforce patents and other intellectual 
property rights relating to its products; the Company's ability to obtain and 
maintain government and other third-party reimbursement for its products; and 
other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's 
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
 
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 from continuing operations before 
income taxes and earnings of equity method investees ("Effective tax rate on 
Non GAAP income"); Non GAAP Cost of product sales; Non GAAP Research and 
development; Non GAAP Selling, general and administrative; Non GAAP operating 
expenses; Non GAAP interest expense; and Non GAAP other income. These Non GAAP 
measures exclude the effect of certain cash and non-cash items, both recurring 
and non-recurring, that Shire's management believes are not related to the 
core performance of Shire's business. In the case of product sales, growth at 
constant exchange rates is calculated after restating current period product 
sales using the comparative periods' average foreign exchange rates. 
 
These Non GAAP financial measures are used by Shire's management to make 
operating decisions because they facilitate internal comparisons of the 
Company's performance to historical results and to competitors' results. These 
measures are also considered by Shire's Remuneration Committee in assessing 
the performance and compensation of employees, including the Company's 
executive directors. 
 
The Non GAAP measures are presented in this press release as the Company's 
management believe that they will provide investors with a means of 
evaluating, and an understanding of how Shire's management evaluates, the 
Company's performance and results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise 
apparent on a US GAAP basis, since many one-time, infrequent or non-cash items 
that the Company'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. 
 
The following items, including their tax effect, have been excluded from both 
2008 and 2009 Non GAAP earnings, and from our 2009 guidance for Non GAAP 
diluted earnings per ADS: 
 
Amortization and asset impairments: 
 
- Intangible asset amortization and impairment charges; and 
 
- Other than temporary impairment of investments. 
 
Acquisitions and integration activities: 
 
- Upfront payments and milestones in respect of in-licensed and acquired 
products; 
 
- Costs associated with acquisitions, including transaction costs, and fair 
value adjustments on contingent consideration and acquired inventory; 
 
- Costs associated with the integration of companies; and 
 
- Incremental interest charges arising on the settlement of litigation with 
the former dissenting shareholders of TKT. 
 
Divestments, re-organizations and discontinued operations 
 
- Gains and losses on the sale of non-core assets; 
 
- Costs associated with restructuring and re-organization activities; 
 
- Termination costs; 
 
- Costs associated with the introduction of the new holding company; and 
 
- Income / (losses) from discontinued operations. 
 
Depreciation, which is included in Cost of product sales, Research and 
development costs and Selling, general and administrative costs in our US GAAP 
results, has been separately disclosed for the presentation of 2008 and 2009 
Non GAAP earnings. A reconciliation of Non GAAP financial measures to the most 
directly comparable measure under US GAAP is presented on pages 22-25. 
 
2008 Comparative Financial Information 
 
Subsequent to the announcement of Shire's Q3 2008 results but prior 
to the filing with the SEC of the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 
2008, the Company settled the TKT appraisal rights litigation. On settlement, 
the Company amended the method of determining its interest provision for this 
litigation, and as a result recorded additional interest expense of $73.0 
million and related tax effects. This interest expense and related tax effects 
were included in the third quarter Form 10-Q, but not in the Q3 2008 results 
announcement as settlement of the litigation occurred after its publication. 
However, the comparative US GAAP financial information in this Q3 2009 
earnings release has been restated to reflect the settlement of this 
litigation. 
 
A reconciliation between the US GAAP financial information included 
in the original Q3 2008 results announcement and the comparative US GAAP 
financial information included herein is as follows: 
 
                                   Interest  Income  Net income/ 
                                    expense   taxes       (loss)

This additional interest expense, and related tax effect, has been excluded 
from Non GAAP earnings, therefore Non GAAP earnings are unaffected by this 
restatement.
