non-gaaP Information              
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (gaaP), the Company uses non-gaaP financial measures that 
exclude certain items, such as amortization of inventory step-up, stock-based compensation step-up, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, acquired in-process research 
and development (“IPR&D”), legal settlements, amortization and other non-cash charges, amortization of deferred financing costs, debt discounts and aSC 470-20 (FSP aPB 
14-1) interest, loss on extinguishment of debt, and (gain) loss on investments, net, and adjusts tax expense to cash taxes. Management uses non-gaaP financial measures 
internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-gaaP financial measures, management intends to 
provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the company’s core operating results and trends for the periods presented. non-gaaP financial measures are not 
prepared in accordance with gaaP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute 
for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with gaaP.

The classic pharmaceutical strategy is to discover and develop global products by focusing on large therapeutic 
categories in highly populated regions such as the U.S., Western europe, Japan, India and China. at Valeant, 
we are focused on creating a diversified business model that includes investing in select international markets 
with strong growth potential, and broad product portfolios with limited patent risk. We avoid markets where 
there is competitive intensity from large pharmaceutical companies or areas where market growth has slowed 
and we have a limited ability to build scale and market presence. We believe that by targeting underserved, 
niche markets and compounds, Valeant can successfully execute our growth business model in the years to 
come and thereby create value for all our stakeholders.

Change within the pharmaceutical industry is slow. at Valeant, we believe that by embracing a fact-based 
managerial process without redundant layers of decision-making, the best ideas will rapidly rise to the surface 
and we can make good decisions quickly. Our strategy is about being prudent: if things are working, then 
you invest behind them, and if they aren’t, make changes. Our employees operate within a truly low-cost 
environment with clear accountabilities and well-defined performance metrics. We pride ourselves on treating 
our financial resources as if we were owners, which of course, we are.

We DO nOT BeT On SCIenCe, 
BUT On ManageMenT.

In recent years, the productivity of traditional research and development has slowed, creating pressure for 
pharmaceutical companies to fund high-risk R&D projects in order to cover this shortfall. at Valeant, we 
believe in helping patients by acquiring established products that are time-tested, thereby utilizing both our 
scale and commercial capabilities, and our experienced management teams, to then successfully grow 
these products. each of our general managers is experienced at building strong businesses and bringing 
good products to market.

We help our patients live better lives by acquiring established products 
that are time tested. .

DeaR SHaReHOLDeR;

Thank you for your interest in Valeant Pharmaceuticals 
International, Inc. We believe that Valeant is a unique 
pharmaceutical company and we are excited that 
you have taken the step to better understand both 
our strategy and operating philosophy. Valeant’s 
primary strategy is to leverage our speed, scale, 
financial strength and disciplined approach to 
business development to pursue substantial growth 
opportunities and generate long-term value for all 
of our shareholders. 

Our strategy and philosophy are both simple and 
powerful. They are anchored in diversified operating 
units led by empowered entrepreneurs – who will 
be rewarded for growing their businesses, their 
cash flows, and building leadership positions in the 
marketplace. Our dual engines of growth will be 
superior execution of well-thought-through business 
plans and continued new growth opportunities via 
disciplined acquisitions. We will do “more with less” 
than our competitors. 

Our vision for the new Valeant is to become the 
leading specialty pharmaceutical company in 
the world. We will measure our success primarily 
through our returns to our shareholders. We 
will have a balanced and diversified portfolio of 
businesses: in terms of types of products – branded 
pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) products, 
branded and unbranded generics; therapeutic areas 
- dermatology, neurology, and ophthalmology; and 
geographies - U.S., Canada, Central and eastern 
europe, Latin america, australia, South east asia 
and South africa. We will measure ourselves in 
terms of overall growth, cash earnings, and adjusted 
cash flow from operations. Our portfolio will evolve 
and over time, we would expect to both enter and 

exit geographies, therapeutic areas, and potentially 
product forms. We will continue to seek out high-
growth, high-profit markets where we expect to have 
a competitive advantage, and exit markets where 
growth and profitability are not as attractive.

We also have a different approach to R&D than other 
pharmaceutical companies in that we don’t bet 
purely on science for our future growth. We like to 
buy in-line products that we think we can grow and 
take the development risk out of the equation. We 
prefer to access our innovation through acquiring 
companies and products. and where we do invest 
in R&D, it is primarily focused on dermatology 
and ophthalmology, where the risk-reward profile 
actually works from a standpoint of our Company’s 
philosophy. We also seek partners for our significant 
development efforts, thereby reducing our R&D 
expenditures as compared to our peers. While there 
are many remarkable pharmaceutical companies 
involved in discovering new compounds, overall, 
internal R&D for the pharmaceutical industry has not 
proven to be a good return for most companies over 
the last decade. 

U.S. DeRMaTOLOgY
Valeant’s U.S. dermatology business continues to 
be a key strength and our growth further solidifies 
our position as a significant player in this therapeutic 
area. not only does dermatology have what we 
believe is an attractive risk and reward profile, we 
believe there’s room for a focused, smaller player like 
Valeant. We have acquired several attractive assets in 
the past few years that have bolstered our presence 
in this therapeutic class, across our geographic 
markets, and we will continue to look for other assets 
that will continue this growth. Dermik and Ortho

Dermatologics are two acquisitions in 2011 that 
cemented our position as a leader in dermatology in 
the U.S. We try to avoid playing in the same areas as 
the big pharmaceutical companies, and focus our 
efforts on specialty areas like dermatology, where we 
can compete with a dedicated sales and marketing 
footprint. Our operating philosophy is based on a 
business model that centers on multiple, diverse 
products that generate between $15 million and $50 
million in revenue per year. 

Our U.S. Dermatology segment generates product 
revenues from both specialty pharmaceutical and 
OTC products. Our principle dermatology products 
include: Zovirax® Ointment, Xerese®, elidel®, 
acanya®, atralin®, Carac®, Renova® and Retin-a 
Micro®, and CeraVe®.

neUROLOgY anD OTHeR
Our other main U.S. business segment is neurology 
and Other, which consists of legacy products such 
as Wellbutrin XL®, Xenazine® and Cardizem® CD. 
although demand for these products is declining, 
our goal is to manage this business segment 
to be a flat-to-slowly declining business that 
generates reliable cash flows for our Company. 
Our management approach to this portfolio, a very 
lean infrastructure with minimal support in non-
field force promotion and targeted improvements 
in formulation, has worked well for these smaller 
specialty-focused legacy brands.  Managing our 
neurology and Other segment to maximize our cash 
flows remains a key priority in 2012 and beyond.

although Wellbutrin XL, Xenazine, and legacy Valeant 
tail products remain the largest products in this 
segment, we are excited to see the entry of Potiga™/
Trobalt™ into the market and believe this compound 
offers a unique growth opportunity. In the U.S., 
Potiga was approved in June 2011 and received 
appropriate Drug enforcement administration (Dea) 
scheduling in november 2011. Trobalt launched 

in europe in May 2011 and is now commercially 
available in several countries including the United 
kingdom, germany and Switzerland through our 
development partner, glaxoSmithkine. We are 
currently planning to launch Potiga to the U.S. market 
in the second quarter of 2012, again through our 
partner, glaxoSmithkine. as for our extended-release 
formulation, a lead candidate has been identified for 
progression into clinical evaluation.

eMeRgIng MaRkeTS
Our emerging Markets segment includes our 
historical business units in Latin america, Central 
and eastern europe and we recently established 
new growth platforms in South east asia, South 
africa and Russia, through several strategic 
transactions completed in 2011 and early 2012. 
Our recent acquisition of inova at the end of 
2011, and our expansion into South east asia and 
South africa, necessitated the realignment of our 
segments in 2012 as we began to manage our 
businesses differently.

We have combined our branded generics businesses 
in europe and Latin america, which is primarily 
Mexico and Brazil, into one emerging Markets 
segment that will also include our operations in South 
east asia and South africa. We view our entry into 
the markets of Russia, South east asia, and South 
africa as exciting new growth platforms and we are 
eager to explore these new opportunities.

Our footprint is purposefully international, yet not 
global. We intentionally do not operate in a number 
of markets, such as Western europe, Japan, China 
and India, which are the strategic focus of other 
pharmaceutical companies. We continue to explore 
and invest in other territories that we believe are high-
quality and growing and in which we believe we can 
achieve success with our business model. Pursuing 
these opportunities in the select regions that larger 
pharmaceutical companies are not focusing on is

another key element of our operating philosophy. For 
example, building critical mass in Central and eastern 
europe was our focus in 2011, where we made two 
sizable acquisitions, PharmaSwiss and Sanitas, 
and we now operate in over 20 Central and eastern 
european countries primarily in branded generics 
and OTC products.

force and a substantial presence in the weight-
loss arena. We expect to continue to ramp up our 
efforts to create new line extensions for australia’s 
OTC products and hope to see regulatory approval 
of a few prescription products as well. Our key 
expectation for 2012 is to successfully integrate 
inova and the Valeant operations in australia.

CanaDa/aUSTRaLIa
Valeant is the largest multinational pharmaceutical 
company headquartered in Canada. Our Canadian 
operations are the classic specialty pharmaceutical 
business where most of our products are in-licensed 
from other companies. We continue to grow our 
critical mass in terms of our field force infrastructure, 
which allows us to call on any specialty, including 
primary care.

This business is predominantly derived from 
prescription products with the largest brands 
consisting of Wellbutrin XL®, Cesamet® and 
Tiazac® XC. We are in the process of establishing 
a prescription dermatology business in Canada, 
and the acquisition of Dermik gives us a head start 
in this endeavor. Our OTC business in Canada 
is also growing and was initially built around our 
acquisitions of Vital Science and Laboratoire Dr. 
Renaud completed in 2009 and 2010, respectively. 
In addition, the acquisition of afexa in 2011 will add 
nicely to our OTC segment with the addition of the 
well-known COLD-FX to our portfolio. 

Valeant australia has primarily been an OTC business 
with a strong focus in dermatology. With the 
addition of inova in December 2011, we now have 
a diversified product portfolio in australia that more 
closely mirrors the rest of our markets. australia’s 
OTC business now has a leading pharmacy presence 
in cold and cough, a therapeutic skin-care line, and 
sun care, which balances out the seasonal nature 
of each business. The inova acquisition also brings 
a prescription business with a well-regarded sales 

LOOkIng FORWaRD
at Valeant, we expect to continue our evolution 
into a stronger, more focused company, with our 
efforts positioning us to reap rewards now and 
in years to come. as we move forward, we will 
continue to pave the way for growth through the 
steadfast execution of our strategy that balances 
diverse specialties with a focused approach. We 
consistently look for unique opportunities in both 
therapeutic classes and geographic locations that 
other pharmaceutical companies might avoid, and 
we believe that the success we have achieved so 
far will generate more opportunities in the future. 
Our strong results demonstrate the strength of our 
base business and our ability to deliver revenue 
growth, earnings and cash flows. Our ability to 
deliver solid results is a testament to our team’s 
ability to effectively manage our cost structure 
and discover new and exciting opportunities to 
invest in. We hope to continue to build on our past 
successes and look forward to new opportunities 
emerging for Valeant in 2012 and beyond.

Finally, I would like to personally thank Valeant’s 
employees and shareholders for everyone’s 
continued support as we work together towards 
building the most successful pharmaceutical 
company in the world.
