These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: the company may not be able to achieve its financial and operating business plans or targets in a timely manner or at all; the unfavorable outcome of arbitration or litigation, including so-called "Paragraph IV" litigation and other patent litigation which may lead to competition from generic drug manufacturers, or other disputes related to the company's products or product candidates or products using the company’s proprietary technologies; the results of the company’s development activities may not be timely, positive, or predictive of final results from such activities, results of future development activities or real-world results; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or regulatory authorities outside the U.S. may not agree with the company’s regulatory approval strategies or components of the company’s marketing applications; potential changes in cost, scope and duration of the company’s development programs; whether the company’s products or product candidates could be shown ineffective or unsafe; the FDA or regulatory authorities outside the U.S. may make adverse decisions regarding the company’s products; the company and its licensees may not be able to continue to successfully commercialize their products or support revenue growth from such products; there may be a reduction in payment rate or reimbursement for the company’s products or an increase in the company's financial obligations to government payers; the company’s products may prove difficult to manufacture, be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of third parties, or have unintended side effects, adverse reactions or incidents of misuse; and those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
