Warner Chilcott Reports Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2009
and Updates 2009 Full Year Guidance

Growth of DORYX, LOESTRIN 24 FE and ESTRACE CREAM drives solid earnings
growth.

ARDEE, Ireland, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Warner Chilcott Limited
(Nasdaq: WCRX) today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31,
2009. Revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $246.0 million, an
increase of 7.2% over the prior year quarter. The primary drivers of the
increase in revenue were the net sales of DORYX, LOESTRIN 24 FE and ESTRACE
CREAM, which together contributed $24.8 million of revenue growth for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the prior year quarter. The
growth delivered by these products was partially offset by net sales declines
in certain other products, primarily DOVONEX and FEMHRT. 

The Company reported net income of $43.3 million ($0.17 per diluted share) in
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with net income of $33.7 million
($0.13 per diluted share) in the prior year quarter, an increase of 28.8%.
Cash net income ("CNI") in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 rose to $97.7
million, an increase of 17.9% over the prior year quarter. 

References in this release to "cash net income" or "CNI" mean the Company's
net income adjusted for the after-tax effects of two non-cash items:
amortization (including impairments, if any) of intangible assets and
amortization (including write-offs, if any) of deferred loan costs related to
the Company's debt. Reconciliations from the Company's reported results in
accordance with US GAAP to CNI and adjusted EBITDA for all periods are
presented in the tables at the end of this press release. 

Revenue 
Revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $246.0 million, an increase of
$16.5 million, or 7.2%, over the prior year quarter. The primary drivers of
the increase in revenue were the net sales of DORYX, LOESTRIN 24 FE and
ESTRACE CREAM, which together contributed $24.8 million of revenue growth for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the prior year quarter. The
growth delivered by these products was partially offset by net sales declines
in certain other products, primarily DOVONEX and FEMHRT. Period over period
changes in the net sales of our products are a function of a number of factors
including changes in: market demand, gross selling prices, sales-related
deductions from gross sales to arrive at net sales and the levels of pipeline
inventories of our products held by our direct and indirect customers. The
Company uses IMS Health, Inc. estimates of filled prescriptions for our
products as a proxy for market demand. 

Net sales of our oral contraceptive products increased $8.0 million, or 12.5%,
in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with the prior year quarter.
LOESTRIN 24 FE generated revenues of $52.4 million in the quarter ended March
31, 2009, an increase of 11.7% compared with $46.9 million in the prior year
quarter. The increase in LOESTRIN 24 FE net sales over the prior year quarter
was primarily due to an increase in filled prescriptions of 8.1% and higher
average selling prices, offset in part by the impact of higher sales-related
deductions. FEMCON FE generated revenues of $12.9 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 2009, an increase of $2.1 million, or 20.2%, versus the prior year
quarter. The increase in FEMCON FE net sales was primarily due to an increase
in filled prescriptions of 15.8% and higher average selling prices compared to
the prior year quarter. 

Net sales of our dermatology products increased $9.8 million, or 9.3%, in the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to the prior year quarter. Net sales of
DORYX increased $15.3 million, or 43.4%, in the quarter ended March 31, 2009,
compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a 22.6% increase in
filled prescriptions, as well as higher average selling prices. The increase
in filled prescriptions of DORYX, primarily relating to DORYX 150 mg, was due
to increased promotional efforts behind DORYX 150 mg, including our recently
launched customer loyalty card program. The increase in filled prescriptions
of 22.6% is not fully reflective of the impact on net sales as the value per
DORYX 150 mg prescription is greater than the value of a filled prescription
of the other strengths. Net sales of TACLONEX decreased $0.3 million, or 0.8%,
to $36.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $36.9
million in the prior year quarter. As filled prescriptions on a per-gram basis
were essentially flat, net sales of TACLONEX decreased primarily due to higher
sales-related deductions during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a
contraction in pipeline inventories relative to the prior year period. This
decrease was partially offset by higher average selling prices in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the prior year quarter. Net sales of
DOVONEX decreased by $5.2 million, or 15.6%, in the quarter ended March 31,
2009, compared with the prior year quarter. The decline was due primarily to a
decrease in filled prescriptions of 24.6% and higher sales-related deductions,
offset partially by higher selling prices and an expansion of pipeline
inventories relative to the prior year quarter. 

Net sales of our hormone therapy products increased $0.6 million, or 1.2%, in
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with the prior year quarter. Net
sales of ESTRACE CREAM increased $4.0 million, or 20.7%, in the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in filled prescriptions of 15.4% and higher average selling
prices, offset in part, by a contraction of pipeline inventories relative to
the prior year quarter. Net sales of FEMHRT decreased $3.3 million, or 20.8%,
in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the prior year quarter due to
a decrease in filled prescriptions of 14.7% and higher sales-related
deductions which were offset, in part, by higher average selling prices
compared to the prior year quarter. 

Cost of Sales (excluding amortization of intangible assets) 
Cost of sales increased $1.0 million, or 2.1%, in the quarter ended March 31,
2009, compared with the prior year quarter. Our gross profit margin, as a
percentage of total revenue increased to 80.2% in the quarter ended March 31,
2009 as compared to 79.2% in the prior year quarter primarily due to changes
in the mix of products sold, offset in part, by increases in manufacturing
costs. 

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses 
SG&A expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $46.8 million, a
decrease of $8.4 million, or 15.3%, from $55.2 million in the prior year
quarter. Advertising and Promotion ("A&P") expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 decreased $9.5 million, or 55.5%, compared with the prior year
quarter, due primarily to an $8.1 million decrease in direct-to-consumer
advertising and a decrease in other promotional spending. Selling and
distribution expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $0.7
million, or 3.2%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a
reduction in the size of our field sales forces beginning in the first quarter
of 2009. General, Administrative and Other ("G&A") expenses in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 increased $1.8 million, or 12.8%, compared to the prior
year quarter, primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses, including
non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase in professional fees. 

Research and Development ("R&D") 
Our investment in R&D for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $23.9 million,
an increase of $11.7 million, or 96.0%, compared with the prior year quarter.
Included in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was a $9.0 million payment to
Dong-A PharmTech Co. Ltd. upon the achievement of a developmental milestone
under our existing agreement for udenafil, an orally administered product for
the treatment of erectile dysfunction ("ED"). Also included in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 was a $2.5 million payment to NexMed Inc. in connection
with our acquisition of the rights to its topically applied alprostadil cream
for the treatment of ED. Excluding the $11.5 million of milestones costs
during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, R&D expenditures were essentially
flat as compared to the prior year quarter. During the quarter ended March 31,
2009, the Company submitted a New Drug Application for a low-dose oral
contraceptive to the Food and Drug Administration. 

Net Interest Expense 
Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $18.0 million, a
decrease of $6.0 million, or 25.0%, from $24.0 million in the prior year
quarter. Included in net interest expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2009
was $1.3 million relating to the write-off of deferred loan costs associated
with the optional prepayment of $100.0 million of indebtedness under our
senior secured credit facility. We did not make any optional prepayments of
debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net interest
expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was primarily the result of
cumulative reductions in outstanding debt during 2008 which reduced the
average debt balance outstanding from $1,200.2 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 to $962.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The
cumulative reduction in the average debt level is the result of optional
prepayments and purchases made using cash flows from operations and cash on
hand, net of investing activities. 

Net Income and Cash Net Income 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, reported net income was $43.3 million,
or $0.17 per share, and CNI was $97.7 million, or $0.39 per share, based on
250.6 million diluted Class A common shares outstanding. In calculating CNI,
we add back the after-tax impact of the amortization (including impairments,
if any) of intangible assets and the amortization (including write-offs, if
any) of deferred loan costs. These items are tax-effected at the estimated
marginal rates attributable to them. In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the
marginal tax rate associated with the amortization of intangible assets was
8.4% and the marginal tax rate for amortization (including write-offs) of
deferred loan costs was 16.0%. 

Liquidity, Balance Sheet and Cash Flows 
As of March 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.3 million and
our total debt outstanding was $861.0 million. There were no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility.
We generated $105.3 million of cash from operating activities in the quarter
ended March 31, 2009, compared with net cash used in operating activities of
$(2.7) million in the prior year quarter, an increase of $108.0 million.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company made payments in respect
of income taxes totaling $9.9 million as compared to $69.3 million in the
prior year quarter. Also impacting our cash flows from operating activities
relative to the prior year quarter was a $9.0 million cash payment made in the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 relating to the final settlement for our OVCON 35
litigation which was included in net income in the year ended December 31,
2007. 

2009 Financial Guidance Update 
Based on the first quarter results and current outlook for the remainder of
2009, the Company is affirming its full year 2009 financial guidance for
revenue, CNI and CNI per share. For 2009, the Company continues to anticipate
revenue to be in the range of $1,015 to $1,025 million, CNI to be in the range
of $390 to $402 million and CNI per share to be in the range of $1.55 to
$1.60. 

The Company is updating the ranges for certain income statement expense items
for the full year 2009. Total SG&A expenses are now expected to be in the
range of $203 to $212 million, an increase of $4 million from the original
guidance given in January 2009. This primarily reflects an increase in
estimated professional fees attributable to the proposal being submitted to
shareholders of the Company to approve a Scheme of Arrangement as a result of
which a new principal holding company will be formed in Ireland and each
holder of the Company's Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share, will
receive ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, in the new Irish holding
company on a one-for-one basis. The increase is offset in part by lower
selling and A&P expenses due to the reduction in sales forces beginning in the
first quarter of 2009. 

Changes to the Company's full year 2009 guidance are summarized on the last
page which is attached as an exhibit to this release.

Reconciliations to GAAP Net Income 

CNI 
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides a summary to show the
computation of CNI. CNI is defined as the Company's GAAP net income adjusted
for the after-tax effects of two non-cash items: amortization (including
impairments, if any) of intangible assets and amortization (including
write-offs, if any) of deferred loan costs related to the Company's debt. The
Company believes that the presentation of CNI provides useful information to
both management and investors concerning the approximate impact of the above
items. The Company also believes that considering the effect of these items
allows management and investors to better compare the Company's financial
performance from period-to-period, and to better compare the Company's
financial performance with that of its competitors. The presentation of this
additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a
substitute for, results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. 

Adjusted EBITDA 
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with US GAAP, the Company is providing a summary to show the
computation of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") taking into account certain charges that were taken
during the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The computation of adjusted
EBITDA is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in the indenture
governing the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015.
