Transcript of Virtual R&D Day September 29, 2021
Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to Horizon’s full-year 2021 net sales and adjusted EBITDA
guidance; expected financial performance and operating results in future periods, including potential growth in net sales of certain of Horizon’s medicines;
development, manufacturing and commercialization plans and strategies; expected timing of clinical trials, studies and regulatory approvals; potential market
opportunity for and benefits of Horizon’s medicines and medicine candidates; and business and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking
statements are based on Horizon’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks that Horizon’s
actual future financial and operating results may differ from its expectations or goals; Horizon’s ability to grow net sales from existing medicines; impacts of the COVID-
19 pandemic and actions taken to slow its spread, including impacts on supplies and net sales of Horizon’s medicines and potential delays in clinical trials; the fact that
Horizon’s full-year 2021 net sales, adjusted EBITDA and TEPEZZA net sales guidance and the expected timing of certain TEPEZZA clinical trials assume that future
committed manufacturing slots for TEPEZZA are not cancelled and are run successfully, which could be impacted by additional government-mandated COVID-19
vaccine production orders and other risks associated with the manufacture of biologic medicines; risks associated with acquisitions, such as the risk that the
businesses will not be integrated successfully, that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that the expected benefits of the
transaction will not occur; the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing from government and third-party payers; risks relating to Horizon’s
ability to successfully implement its business strategies, including its manufacturing and global expansion strategy; risks inherent in discovering new medicine targets
and candidates and in developing novel medicine candidates and existing medicines for new indications; risks associated with regulatory approvals; risks in the ability
to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel; competition, including potential generic competition; the ability to protect intellectual property and defend patents;
regulatory obligations and oversight, including any changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which Horizon operates and those risks detailed from time-to-
time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Horizon’s filings and reports with the SEC. Horizon undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-
looking statements contained in this presentation as a result of new information.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the first indication in development, which in cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE)
Today, we are announcing as part of our strategy to fully realize its potential
ILT7: Immunoglobulin-like transcript 7.
Daxdilimab (HZN-7734) Key TakeawaysFirst and Only pDC Depleter in Clinical Development; Now Pursuing Five Indications
• In healthy individuals, pDCs are present in low numbers, driving an appropriate immune response to fight infection
• In individuals with certain autoimmune diseases, pDCs are found in high concentrations in target tissue, which results in significant inflammation and tissue damage that are a hallmark of autoimmune disease
• Daxdilimab was designed to be an efficient pDC depleter, targeting a main driver of inflammation without impairing the body’s overall antiviral response
What are pDCs and Why are They Important in Autoimmune Diseases?

Dazodalibep (HZN-4920) Key TakeawaysInternally Designed Next Generation CD40L Antagonist
CD40L: Cluster of differentiation 40 ligand.
Dazodalibep is a CD40L antagonist
Dazodalibep was internally designed; the team’s expertise
Pre-clinical and clinical evidence provide
Dazodalibep is , including Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and kidney transplant rejection• Promising early data from prior studies in RA demonstrated suppression of autoimmune response and disease activity in a dose
dependent manner• Mechanistic rationale supports evaluation in Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease with no approved treatments
Today we announced the initiation of a new indication in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS),
• CD40/CD40L interactions play a critical role in driving immune responses, including the T-cell-dependent activation of B cells, central to the production of pathogenic autoantibodies
• CD40/CD40L can trigger overstimulation of immune cells leading to an immune response cascade and driving inflammation
• CD40L drives inflammation through its interaction with CD40 which is expressed on several tissues in the salivary gland, spleen, kidney, joint, gut and skin
• The CD40/CD40L pathway is implicated in many autoimmune diseases including Sjögren’s syndrome, RA, immune mediated kidney diseases and transplantation

The Role of Lysophosphatidic Acid (LPA) and the LPAR1 Receptor in the Pathogenesis of Fibrotic Diseases
• LPA are bioactive molecules
• In healthy individuals, LPA enables beneficial cellular events such as cell growth, migration and survival
• LPA signaling takes place through multiple receptors, including LPAR1
• In people with fibrotic disease, LPAR1 signaling is dysregulated, resulting in inflammation and fibrosis mediated by:
- Vascular leakage
- Epithelial damage
- Fibroblast recruitment
LPAR: Lysophosphatidic acid receptor.

Systemic Sclerosis is the Hallmark Disease of Fibrosis Spanning Multiple Organ Systems
PAH: Pulmonary arterial hypertension.Source: Nie LY et al. 2019
• Estimated U.S. prevalence of systemic sclerosis: ~70K-80K
• ~60% limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc)
- Distal skin sclerosis – face, hands, forearms, feet, legs principally
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension and severe gut disease frequent and serious
- Late-stage complications frequent
• ~40% diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc)
- Diffuse disease involves the same areas as lcSSc but also more proximal skin areas: chest, thighs, upper arms and back
- High frequency of internal organ involvement including severe lung fibrosis
- Increased risk of renal crisis and cardiac involvement

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is the Leading Cause of Death in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis, and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is the Most Common ILD
SSc: Systemic sclerosis. (1) Perelas A. et al. 2020.
• ILD is a common comorbidity of SSc
• ILD is also the leading cause of death in patients with SSc with 10-year mortality of up to 40%(1)
SSc-ILD
• IPF is the most common ILD; IPF is a rare progressive lung disease characterized by dyspnea, chronic cough and potentially death

Evaluating Two Fibrotic Diseases with Significant Unmet Need: dcSSc and IPF (ILDs)
Disease dcSSc IPF
Treatment Options
• No FDA-approved treatment for dcSSc• Two FDA approved therapies for SSc-related lung fibrosis • Current treatments provide symptomatic relief without compelling
evidence of slowing disease progression for overall disease- Exception: Stem cell transplant but associated with toxicity
• Treatment options include immunomodulators, NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators
• First-line options include nonpharmacologic management (oxygen, rehabilitation) and symptomatic care (steroids, beta-2 agonists)
• As IPF progresses, FDA-approved anti-fibrotic treatments can be tried
• Lung transplant is final option
A more comprehensive treatment is needed to address the inflammation and fibrosis that drive dcSSc and IPF
Shortcomings of Current Therapies
• Current treatments slow disease progression but do not stabilize or reverse disease
• Significant tolerability and compliance issues with current anti-fibrotic therapies
• Patients often need multiple treatments• Ineffective at halting disease progression, resulting in high
morbidity and mortality rates
U.S. Prevalence • ~30K dcSSc patients in the U.S.(1) • ~100K IPF patients in the U.S.(2)
Rationale• Clinical proof of concept demonstrated for LPAR1 antagonism in IPF• In a 24-week exploratory study, HZN-825 showed early signals of
benefit in dcSSc patient population

UPLIZNA is an anti-CD19, humanized monoclonal antibody with potential in multiple autoimmune diseases
Targets the CD19 antigen, which including plasmablasts and certain plasma cells that anti-CD20 therapies do not target
, which include:
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), where UPLIZNA is already indicated
, where UPLIZNA has the potential for differentiation; our robust Phase 3 trial is the first with clearly delineated AChR+ and MuSK+ patient populations
, where UPLIZNA has the potential to be the first-ever FDA-approved therapy
B Cells Contribute to the Damaging Pathology of Multiple Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Diseases
CD19: Cluster of differentiation 19.
• B cells are a white blood cell type, and an integral component of the adaptive immune system
• An important immune system function of B cells is making antibodies
− In a normal state, these antibodies attack foreignpathogens such as bacteria and viruses
− In autoimmune disorders, antibodies attack the body’s own tissues, leading to disease
• B cells also play a role in healthy inflammatory responses through the production of cytokines and chemokines and interactions with T cells
− In excess, this response can lead to prolonged activation of T cells and tissue destruction
B-Cell Dysregulation Plays a Central Role in Many Diseases
Production of Autoantibodies

NMOSD is a Chronic Autoimmune Disease of the Central Nervous System
NMOSD: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. | MS: Multiple sclerosis.
What is NMOSD?
• NMOSD is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system
• Attacks the optic nerve, spinal cord and can also affect the brain and brainstem
• Severe, rare, relapsing
• Attacks result in accumulation of neurological damage and can result in blindness, paralysis and death
What causes NMOSD?
• Discovery of autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in 2004 differentiated NMOSD from MS
• In ~80% of cases antibodies to AQP4 are present
• U.S. NMOSD population: ~10K; ~8K AQP4+

(4) N-Momentum measured CD20 B cells because UPLIZNA specifically binds CD19, which interferes with the CD19 assay. Therefore, once a patient receives UPLIZNA, CD20 B cells are measured. Likewise, studies in anti-CD20 agents, CD19 cells are measured because the anti-CD20 agents bind CD20.

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED): Debilitating, Vision-Threatening; Severely Impacts Quality of Life
Inflammation and tissue expansion behind the eye causes proptosis, the most disfiguring sign of TED
Can impair ability to close eyes, resulting in pain and corneal ulceration
Associated with diplopia (double vision), which is a result of misalignment of eyes
Impacts quality of life: Working, driving, reading, and sleeping
Natural History of TED – Acute to Chronic

TE E A’s Mechanism of Action: Common athway in Acute and Chronic TED
TED: Thyroid Eye Disease.Eye Pathology – Eagle R.C. 2017
• Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R)/Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) signaling key in TED
• Teprotumumab is a human monoclonal antibody inhibitor of IGF-1R
• Binds to IGF-1R/TSHR complex and blocks downstream signaling
• Targets the pathology at TED’s source, reducing production of hyaluronic acid, halting inflammation and retro-orbital tissue expansion
• Pathway is common in both acute and chronic TED

TEPEZZA Phase 3 Trial Demonstrated Impressive Results in Acute Patients
CI: Confidence interval.Throughout the 24-week treatment period, patients treated with TEPEZZA had an average proptosis reduction of 2.82 mm compared with 0.54 mm for those who received placebo (p<0.001).(1) Change from baseline in proptosis as a continuous variable is based on Mixed-Model Repeated-Measures (MMRM) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with an unstructured covariance matrix including the following terms: baseline score, tobacco use status (non-user, user), treatment group, visit, and visit-by-treatment and visit-by-baseline-score interactions.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA are used and provided by Horizon as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAA measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon’s performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAA figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition and/or divestiture-related expenses, gain or loss from divestiture, gain or loss from sale of assets, upfront, progress and milestone payments related to license and collaboration agreements, litigation settlements, loss on debt extinguishment, costs of debt refinancing, drug manufacturing harmonization costs, restructuring and realignment costs, the income tax effect on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and other non-GAAP income tax adjustments, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, long-lived asset impairment charges and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial and operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected 2021 financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance. For example, adjusted EBITDA is used by Horizon as one measure of management performance under certain incentive compensation arrangements. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Horizon has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2021 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items such as acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and share-based compensation that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon’s stock price, the variability associated with the size or timing of acquisitions/divestitures and other factors. These components of net income (loss) could significantly impact Horizon’s actual net income (loss).
