Susan Kilsby, Shire's Chairman, commented:

"Shire is well-positioned for future growth as we implement our plan to double
product sales to $10 billion by 2020. I am confident that Shire, as an
independent company, will deliver long-term value to our shareholders and
improved outcomes for patients. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would
like to thank the Shire management team and employees for the achievement of
outstanding financial results during the third quarter."

Flemming Ornskov, M.D., Shire's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our third quarter results demonstrate our exceptional track record of
delivering value and growth. We continue to implement our clear and focused
strategy, as we:

- Generated record quarterly product sales of $1,552 million, growing at 33%

- Grew Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS by 60%, and

- Delivered Non GAAP cash generation of over $600 million.

These results are a testament to our ability to drive top line growth and our
continued emphasis on operational discipline.

We have seen strong sales performance across our portfolio with all of our top
ten products delivering double digit growth in the quarter. Rare Diseases, our
largest business unit, grew by 66%, aided by our acquisition of ViroPharma. In
our Hereditary Angioedema portfolio, CINRYZE performed strongly with quarterly
sales of $145 million and FIRAZYR was up 57%.

Our Neuroscience and Gastrointestinal business units also contributed to the
record quarter with VYVANSE sales up 19% and LIALDA up 24%.

We continue to build our international presence and our expansion into the
Japanese market with the approval of VPRIV and AGRYLIN.

Our early and late stage pipeline continues to be strengthened, both
internally, and through business development providing us with new investments
in Ophthalmology (BIKAM) and Rare Diseases (ArmaGen). The US Food and Drug
Administration accepted with priority review our supplemental new drug
application for VYVANSE as a treatment for adults with binge eating disorder
and we expect to learn about the potential expanded indication in February
2015.

Our strong momentum and performance this quarter is evidence of our ability to
deliver growth, efficiency and innovation through our commitment to addressing
significant unmet need in Rare Diseases and high-value specialty conditions.
As a result, I am pleased to once again increase our guidance for 2014. We now
expect to deliver Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS growth in the high thirty
percent range in 2014."

- Product sales grew strongly in Q3 2014, up 33% to $1,552 million (Q3 2013:
$1,171 million). Product sales in Q3 2014 included $153 million for products
acquired with ViroPharma Incorporated ("ViroPharma"), primarily $145 million
from CINRYZE®. The inclusion of ViroPharma contributed 14% to reported product
sales growth in the quarter.

Product sales grew 19% excluding products acquired with ViroPharma. Growth was
generated across our portfolio but primarily driven by VYVANSE®([1]) (up 19%
to $355 million), LIALDA®/MEZAVANT® (up 24% to $177 million), ELAPRASE® (up
31% to $169 million) and REPLAGAL® (up 25% to $136 million). Sales of ELAPRASE
and REPLAGAL in the quarter benefitted from several large orders from
customers who order less frequently. In 2013 comparable orders were recorded
in the fourth quarter.

- Total revenues were up 32% to $1,597 million (Q3 2013: $1,213 million).

- On a Non GAAP basis:

Operating income grew strongly in Q3 2014, up 60% to $717 million (Q3 2013:
$449 million) as combined Research and Development ("R&D") and Selling,
General and Administrative ("SG&A") costs increased at a much lower rate (up
10%) than total revenues (up 32%).

On a Non GAAP basis:

EBITDA margin (excluding royalties and other revenues)([2]) was 46%, up 8
percentage points compared to Q3 2013 (Q3 2013: 38%), as we continue to
deliver operating leverage. R&D costs were 5% lower compared to Q3 2013. SG&A
costs increased by 19%, due in part to the inclusion of ViroPharma's SG&A
costs and additional commercial spending in advance of anticipated product
launches for certain products.

On a US GAAP basis (from continuing operations):

Operating income was up 49% to $572 million (Q3 2013: $383 million), a lower
rate of increase than on a Non GAAP basis as Q3 2014 included higher
amortization charges, higher costs associated with acquisitions and
integration activities as well as costs associated with AbbVie's terminated
offer for Shire. Combined R&D and SG&A was up 21%, with R&D up 1% and SG&A up
32% as compared with Q3 2013. Net income margin in Q3 2014 was up 7 percentage
points to 30% (Q3 2013: 23%).

- Non GAAP diluted earnings per American Depository Share ("ADS") increased
60% to $2.93 (Q3 2013: $1.83) as a result of higher Non GAAP operating income
and a lower Non GAAP effective tax rate of 18% in Q3 2014 (Q3 2013: 20%).

On a US GAAP basis, diluted earnings per ADS increased 66% to $2.43 (Q3 2013:
$1.46) as a result of higher US GAAP operating income and a lower US GAAP
effective tax rate of 11% in Q3 2014 (Q3 2013: 20%).

- Cash generation, a Non GAAP measure, was up 27% to $612 million (Q3 2013:
$482 million) reflecting higher receipts from product sales and lower
operating expense payments. Cash generation in Q3 2014 was held back by
payments of $59 million in respect of the final agreement with the US
Government relating to previously disclosed civil investigations, as well as
payments in respect of the One Shire reorganization, AbbVie's terminated offer
for Shire and the integration of ViroPharma.

Free cash flow, also a Non GAAP measure, was up 48% to $575 million (Q3 2013:
$388 million) due to higher cash generation and lower capital expenditure in
the quarter.

On a US GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was up 37% to
$593 million (Q3 2013: $434 million).

- Net debt, also a Non GAAP measure, was $396 million at September 30, 2014
(December 31, 2013: net cash of $2,231 million).

On a US GAAP basis, cash and cash equivalents were $468 million at September
30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: $2,239 million).

OUTLOOK

We've delivered a very strong performance so far this year, and as a result we
are increasing our guidance. We now expect to deliver Non GAAP earnings per
ADS growth in the high thirty percent range in 2014 (previous guidance:
low-to-mid thirty percent growth).

Following our strong product sales performance in the year to date, we now
expect product sales growth for the full year 2014 in the low twenty percent
range (previous guidance: high teens growth).

We anticipate product sales growth in the fourth quarter to be lower than
we've delivered so far this year, as the third quarter benefited from Rare
Diseases sales to customers who order less frequently, and as we lap against
stronger comparatives in the fourth quarter.

We expect royalties and other revenues for 2014 to be 0-5% lower than in 2013,
as we now anticipate recognizing additional milestone income in the fourth
quarter of 2014.

We continue to anticipate that our Non GAAP gross margin will be approximately
1 percentage point lower than in 2013.

We continue to expect Combined Non GAAP R&D and SG&A to grow by 2-4% compared
to 2013. We expect slightly higher operating costs in the fourth quarter than
seen in the third quarter, as we continue to invest behind our innovative and
exciting pipeline. The fourth quarter will also see an increase in commercial
spending on Binge Eating Disorder disease awareness ahead of anticipated
launch.

We continue to expect Non GAAP net interest expense to be approximately $10
million lower than in 2013.

Our core effective tax rate on Non GAAP income is still expected to be in the
range of 17-19%.

Our current assumption of the diluted number of ordinary shares for full year
2014 is approximately 590 million.

Taken together, we now expect to deliver Non GAAP earnings per ADS growth in
the high thirty percent range in 2014 (previous guidance: low-to-mid thirty
percent growth).

THIRD QUARTER 2014 AND RECENT PRODUCT AND PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTS

Products

We continue to make progress building our business in Japan:

- On September 26, 2014 Shire was granted a marketing authorization by the
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan for AGRYLIN® (1) in adult
essential thrombocythaemia patients.

- On September 2, 2014 Shire launched VPRIV® in Japan, for the
improvement of symptoms of Gaucher disease, following approval of a marketing
authorization on July 4, 2014 by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in
Japan.

VYVANSE - for the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder ("BED") in adults

- On September 15, 2014 Shire announced that the US Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") has accepted for filing with priority review a
supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") for VYVANSE as a treatment for
adults with BED. The FDA is expected to provide a decision in February 2015,
based on the anticipated Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date.

Pipeline

SHP607 - for the prevention of retinopathy of prematurity ("ROP")

- On October 17, 2014 Shire submitted an Investigational New Drug ("IND")
application for SHP607 with the FDA. The IND is subject to a 30-day review
period.

SHP465 - for the treatment of ADHD in adults

- On October 9, 2014 Shire announced that it has received further guidance
from the FDA on the regulatory path for SHP465, an investigational oral
stimulant medication being evaluated as a potential treatment for ADHD in
adults. This information will impact Shire's plans for a 2014 New Drug
Application ("NDA") resubmission for SHP465.

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

- SHP620 was acquired as part of the acquisition of ViroPharma in Q1 2014.
Shire is currently conducting two Phase 2 studies in transplant recipients,
both of which are fully enrolled. The first is a trial in first-line treatment
of asymptomatic CMV in transplant recipients. The results showed that
maribavir, at all doses, was at least as effective as valganciclovir in the
reduction of circulating CMV to below the limits of assay detection
(undetectable CMV). The second study is a trial for the treatment of
resistant/refractory CMV infection/disease in transplant recipients. The
purpose of this study is to determine whether maribavir is efficacious and
safe in patients with clinically refractory disease to standard of care CMV
therapy (e.g., valganciclovir, foscarnet) with or without genotypic resistance
to those agents. Preliminary results are expected in early 2015. This product
has been granted orphan drug designation in both the US and EU.

([1]) Currently marketed as XAGRID® in the EU for the treatment of essential
thrombocythaemia.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHANGES

- On October 20, 2014 Shire announced that James Bowling, Interim
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), had notified the Board of Directors of his
decision to step down from his current role to pursue a new career
opportunity. James will leave Shire at the end of Q1 2015 and Shire has
commenced a search for a new CFO.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Termination of AbbVie's offer for Shire

- On October 15, 2014 the Board of AbbVie confirmed that it had withdrawn its
recommendation of its offer for Shire as a result of the anticipated impact of
the US Treasury Notice on the benefits that AbbVie expected from its offer. As
AbbVie's offer was conditional on the approval of its stockholders, and given
their Board's decision to change its recommendation and to advise AbbVie's
stockholders to vote against the offer, there was no realistic prospect of
satisfying this condition. Accordingly, Shire's Board agreed with AbbVie to
terminate the cooperation agreement on October 20, 2014. The UK Takeover Panel
has confirmed that the offer period has ended. Shire has entered into a
termination agreement with AbbVie, pursuant to which AbbVie has paid the break
fee under the cooperation agreement of approximately $1.635 billion.

Divestment of non-core product rights

During the third quarter Shire divested rights to three non-core products for
total cash consideration of $65 million.

- On September 30, 2014 Shire sold its rights to EXPUTEX® to Phoenix Labs
along with other specified assets.

- On August 1, 2014 Shire sold its rights to VANCOCIN® to ANI Pharmaceuticals
Inc. along with other specified assets.

- On July 17, 2014 Shire sold its rights to ESTRACE® to Trimel Pharmaceuticals
Inc. along with other specified assets.

Strategic licensing and collaboration agreement with ArmaGen Technologies,
Inc. ("ArmaGen")

- On July 23, 2014 Shire and ArmaGen, a US-based privately held biotechnology
company, announced a worldwide licensing and collaboration agreement to
develop and commercialize AGT-182, an investigational enzyme replacement
therapy for the potential treatment of both the central nervous system and
somatic manifestations in patients with Hunter syndrome. This collaboration
strengthens Shire's rare disease pipeline of innovative therapies where there
is high unmet need, and underscores Shire's long standing commitment to the
Hunter syndrome community.

Strategic acquisition of BIKAM Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("BIKAM")

- On July 9, 2014 Shire acquired BIKAM, a US-based privately held
biotechnology company. The lead asset, SHP630 (formerly BIK-406), is in
pre-clinical development for the potential treatment of autosomal dominant
retinitis pigmentosa.

Legal Proceedings

Shire reaches final agreement with US Government relating to previously
disclosed civil investigation

- On September 24, 2014 Shire announced that it had resolved all matters with
the US federal government, the 50 states and the District of Columbia relating
to a previously disclosed civil investigation of its US sales and marketing
practices relating to ADDERALL XR®, VYVANSE, DAYTRANA®, LIALDA and PENTASA®.
The investigation was led by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. Under the agreement, Shire has paid $56.5 million, and
interest, fees, and costs, to resolve all issues investigated by the
government. This final settlement includes the resolution of two related qui
tam complaints filed against Shire and a voluntary disclosure relating to
LIALDA and PENTASA. In addition, Shire has paid $2.9 million to resolve a
previously disclosed civil complaint filed by the State of Louisiana alleging
that Shire's sales, marketing, and promotion of ADDERALL, ADDERALL XR,
DAYTRANA, VYVANSE and INTUNIV® violated state law. Shire recorded a $57.5
million provision related to these matters which was charged to SG&A in the
fourth quarter of 2012. As part of the resolution, Shire has entered into a
Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Office of Inspector General for the
Department of Health and Human Services for a term of five years.

measure.

the average monthly US market share in the month ended September 30, 2014.

(4) CINRYZE product sales in Q3 2014 were up 36% on Q3 2013. Q3 2013 sales
were recorded by ViroPharma, prior to the acquisition of ViroPharma by Shire.

(5) IMS NPA Data not available.

(6) Not sold in the US in Q3 2014.

VYVANSE - ADHD

VYVANSE product sales grew strongly in Q3 2014 (up 19% compared to Q3 2013)
due to a price increase taken since Q3 2013 and to a lesser extent higher US
prescription demand and growth in international markets.

LIALDA/MEZAVANT - Ulcerative Colitis

Product sales for LIALDA/MEZAVANT in Q3 2014 were up 24%, primarily due to
higher US prescription demand (up 22%) and to a lesser extent a price increase
taken since Q3 2013. Q3 2014 also benefited from higher stocking than seen in
Q2 2014.

ELAPRASE - Hunter syndrome

ELAPRASE product sales in Q3 2014 were up 31% compared to Q3 2013 driven by
continued growth in the number of treated patients, especially in emerging
markets. Growth in Q3 2014 also benefited from the timing of large shipments
to certain markets which order less frequently. Many of these comparable
orders in 2013 were made in the fourth quarter and therefore we expect
ELAPRASE year-on-year sales growth to moderate in Q4 2014.

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

Shire acquired CINRYZE through its acquisition of ViroPharma in Q1
2014. CINRYZE sales were $145.1 million in Q3 2014, growing 36% on Q3 2013(1)
primarily driven by more patients on therapy, inventory build at specialty
pharmacies favourably impacting sales and to a lesser extent, a price increase
in the US.

(1) Q3 2013 recorded by ViroPharma, prior to the acquisition of
ViroPharma by Shire.

REPLAGAL - Fabry disease

REPLAGAL sales were up 25% compared to Q3 2013 as we continue to see good
growth in emerging markets and to a lesser extent higher volume demand in
Europe. Q3 2014 also benefited from larger orders for certain markets which
order less frequently. A comparable order in 2013 was made in the fourth
quarter and therefore we expect REPLAGAL year-on-year sales growth to moderate
in Q4 2014.

FIRAZYR - for the treatment of acute HAE attacks

FIRAZYR's strong product sales growth (up 57%) was primarily due to
growth in patients on therapy and the effect of a price increase in the US
market.

INTUNIV - ADHD

The growth in INTUNIV product sales (up 20%) in Q3 2014 was driven
by price increases taken since Q3 2013, partially offset by destocking in Q3
2014 as compared to stocking in Q3 2013. We expect generic competition to
enter the market starting in December 2014, which would impact US sales of
INTUNIV.

VPRIV - Gaucher disease

VPRIV product sales in Q3 2014 were up 10% compared to Q3 2013 as
we continue to add naïve patients and gain patients switching from other
therapies.

ADDERALL XR - ADHD

ADDERALL XR product sales increased (up 17%) in Q3 2014, primarily
due to increased prescription demand, and lower sales deductions as a
percentage of product sales in Q3 2014 as compared to Q3 2013.

PENTASA - Ulcerative Colitis

PENTASA product sales increased in Q3 2014 (up 11%) driven by price increases
taken since Q3 2013 and a slight increase in stocking.

Non GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased
marginally in Q3 2014 as compared with Q3 2013.

US GAAP cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales increased
marginally in 2014 as Q3 2014 included charges on the unwind of the fair value
adjustment on acquired ViroPharma inventories.

Non GAAP R&D decreased by $9.9 million, or 5% in Q3 2014, following the
completion of several large Phase 3 programs since Q3 2013 including new uses
for LDX and the effect of portfolio prioritization decisions taken during
2013. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of programs
acquired through business development in 2014.

US GAAP R&D increased by $2.4 million, or 1% as compared to Q3 2013.

Non GAAP SG&A increased by $66.4 million, or 19%. The inclusion of ViroPharma
SG&A in Q3 2014 and commercial spending in advance of anticipated product
launches for certain products offset lower ongoing overheads following the One
Shire reorganization. Non GAAP SG&A as a percentage of product sales was 3
percentage points lower than Q3 2013 as we continue to see benefits from the
One Shire reorganization and the focus on operational discipline in Q3 2014.

US GAAP SG&A increased by $126.6 million, or 32%, as it also includes higher
amortization of intangible assets acquired with ViroPharma, and costs incurred
in connection with AbbVie's terminated offer for Shire.

Gain on sale of product rights

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded a net
gain on sale of non-core product rights of $46.0 million (2013: $3.6 million)
following the divestment of VANCOCIN, ESTRACE and EXPUTEX. The gain on sale of
product rights also included the gain on re-measurement of the contingent
consideration receivable relating to the divestment of DAYTRANA.

Reorganization costs

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded
reorganization costs of $28.2 million (Q3 2013: $12.0 million) related to the
One Shire reorganization as we continue the implementation of our new
operating structure.

Integration and acquisition costs

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire recorded integration and
acquisition costs of $37.1 million, comprising a $4.9 million charge relating
to the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and costs
of $32.2 million primarily related to the acquisition and integration of
ViroPharma.

In Q3 2013 integration and acquisition costs ($18.4 million) primarily related
to the change in fair values of contingent consideration liabilities and the
cost of integrating SARcode BioSciences Inc. ("SARcode") and Premacure AB
("Premacure").

Interest expense

For the three months to September 30, 2014 Shire incurred interest expense of
$6.8 million (Q3 2013: $9.2 million). Interest expense in Q3 2014 primarily
related to interest and the amortization of issue costs incurred on borrowings
to fund the ViroPharma acquisition. Interest expense in Q3 2013 principally
related to the coupon and amortization of costs on Shire's convertible bonds
which were fully redeemed or converted in Q4 2013.

Taxation

The effective rate of tax on Non GAAP income in Q3 2014 was 18% (Q3
2013: 20%), and on a US GAAP basis the effective rate of tax was 11% (Q3 2013:
20%).

The effective rate of tax in Q3 2014 on Non GAAP income from
continuing operations is lower than the same period in 2013 primarily due to
changes in profit mix.

The effective rate of tax in Q3 2014 on US GAAP income from
continuing operations is lower than the same period in 2013 primarily due to
changes in profit mix and the recognition of a further tax credit of $27.7
million related to the settlement of an additional position with the Canadian
revenue authorities in Q3 2014.

Discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations for the three months to September 30,
2014 was $36.1 million net of tax (2013: $22.9 million) relating to costs
associated with the divestment of the DERMAGRAFT business, including a loss on
re-measurement of contingent consideration receivable from Organogenesis to
its fair value.

FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS - "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements included in this announcement that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements. 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;

- revenues from ADDERALL XR are subject to generic erosion and revenues from
INTUNIV will become subject to generic competition starting in December 2014;

- the failure to obtain and maintain reimbursement, or an adequate level of
reimbursement, by third-party payors in a timely manner for Shire's products
may impact 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 contractors 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 development, approval and manufacturing of Shire's products is subject
to extensive oversight by various regulatory agencies. Submission of an
application for regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, such as
our planned submission of a New Drug Application to the FDA for lifitegrast as
a treatment for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in adults, may be
delayed for any number of reasons and, once submitted, may be subjected to
lengthy review and ultimately rejected. Moreover, regulatory approvals or
interventions associated with changes to manufacturing sites, ingredients or
manufacturing processes could lead to significant delays, increase in
operating costs, lost product sales, an interruption of research activities or
the delay of new product launches;

- 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 impact Shire's revenues, financial conditions 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 the distraction of senior
management, 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, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations.
Shire is undergoing a corporate reorganization and the consequent uncertainty
could adversely impact 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 ViroPharma Incorporated 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 US Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K

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 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)(1). 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 executive
director.

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 2014 and 2013, 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.

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
2014 and 2013 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.

(1) EBITDA as a percentage of product sales, excluding royalties and other
revenues.

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 20 to 25.

Growth at CER, which is a Non GAAP measure, is computed by restating 2014
results using average 2013 foreign exchange rates for the relevant period.

Average exchange rates used by Shire for the nine months to September 30, 2014
were $1.67:£1.00 and $1.36:€1.00 (2013: $1.55:£1.00 and $1.31:€1.00). Average
exchange rates used by Shire for Q3 2014 were $1.69:£1.00 and $1.34:€1.00
