Safe Harbor Statement
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements contained herein are “forward-looking”
statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995).  Because such statements include
risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, failure to initiate clinical studies, failure to
achieve positive results in clinical trials, failure to receive market
clearance from regulatory agencies, and those risks and
uncertainties discussed in filings made by ISTA Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.,
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES-
ISTA believes the metric "adjusted cash net income (loss) and adjusted cash EPS excluding non-cash interest expense, stock
option expense and non-cash warrant valuation adjustments," are useful financial measures for investors in evaluating the Company's performance for the
periods presented. ISTA’s management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to the Company and to
investors regarding ISTA’s results of operations as these non-GAAP financial measures allow better evaluation of ongoing business performance. These metrics,
however, are not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered a
substitute for net  income (loss) or EPS in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The
company historically has included a full reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted cash net income (loss) in its press releases reporting quarterly financial
results, and intends to include such reconciliation for the current period in its press release reporting the full financial results for 2011 after market close on
February 23, 2012.

Unique Combination and Approach
Combination of proven antihistamine and approved corticosteroid is highly
desired by seasonal allergy  patients and physicians alike
The market has limited expected competition from other allergic rhinitis
formulations
The only late stage product currently in development is Dymista from Meda (Phase 3)
Other products still in Phase 2 testing or earlier
ISTA has the opportunity to obtain 2 drug approvals out of the BEPOSONE
registration clinical trials (BEPOMAX and BEPOSONE)
Phase 2 Mountain Cedar pollen clinical trial is powered to prove
all efficacy
requirements from the drug combination rule
All active drug treatments have to be better than placebo
BEPOSONE has to be better than the BEPOMAX and steroid agents

Valeant’s proposal of $6.50 per share implies a multiple of 2.10x LTM revenue and 1.79x

Valeant’s proposal fails to adequately compensate ISTA shareholders
It does not reflect current multiples of ISTA's peer group
It does not include a premium for a rare ophthalmic asset
It does not recognize the meaningful synergy value that exists with Valeant, as well as
many other possible partners

Valeant’s Bid is at a Significant Discount to
Relevant Precedent Transactions
Valeant’s Bid is at a Significant Discount to
Relevant Precedent Transactions
Valeant’s proposal of $6.50 per share implies a multiple of 2.10x LTM revenue
This reflects a discount of 34% and 61% to the median precedent specialty pharma and
ophthalmic pharma transaction multiples, respectively
Merck’s recent acquisition of Inspire Pharmaceuticals is the closest comparable precedent
transaction
Valeant’s proposal represents a 34% discount
to the multiple Merck paid for Inspire
Valeant’s acquisition of Aton Pharma, which owns a number of generic ophthalmic
pharmaceutical products, provides another relevant precedent
Valeant’s proposal for ISTA represents a 61% discount to the Aton Pharma multiple of 5.4x LTM

Valuation

LONG TERM VALUE
UNDERAPPRECIATED
BY INVESTORS
Our $12.00 price target is driven by a sum-of-the-parts DCF analysis; BROMDAY at
$5.00 per share; BEPREVE at $4.00 per share; ISTALOL and VITRASE at $1.00 per
share; Bepotastine / pipeline at $2.00 per share with potential upside coming from
new patent issuances for BROMDAY and / or BEPREVE formulations and positive
Phase 3 results from the pipeline
RBC–
December  16th
SIGNIFICANT
DISCOUNT TO FAIR
VALUE
Our neutral rating on the company is based on a lack of near term fundamental
catalysts, but we believe the long-term value of ISTAs franchise is underappreciated
by investors, especially the Bepotastine nasal / combo product in Phase 2 trails
SunTrust–
December  16th
ATTRACTIVE UPSIDE
POTENTIAL
We value ISTA’s marketed products at $10.00 per share and Bepotastine for allergic
rhinitis at $2.00 per share. Under our upside scenario, current products could be
worth $16.00 based on life-cycle extensions and patent grants. We see potential for
upside from new patent issuances for BROMDAY, and/or BEPREVE formulations,
positive clinical data from the pipeline and/or a partnership for Bepotastine for
allergic rhinitis

Proposal as Low
Wall Street Views Valeant’s
Proposal as Low
Given the value of its marketed franchise (Bromday, Istalol and Bepreve), we are not
surprised by ISTA's proposal rejection and decision to explore strategic options. ISTA
believes that Valeant’s proposal is unjustifiably below comparable historical
acquisition multiples and that Valeant does not assign meaningful value to its
pipeline,
which
includes
Prolensa
(low
dose
bromfenac,
potential
entry

and
bepotastine

We believe the $6.50 offer from Valeant Pharmaceuticals is inadequate for ISTA. On

behind giants Alcon and Allergan. The business is solidly positioned for profitability in
2012.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Valeant’s proposal to acquire ISTA at $6.50 per share is grossly inadequate
Significantly lower than ISTA’s intrinsic value
Out of line with comparable precedent transactions and peer trading multiples
Opportunistic in approach and ignores ISTA’s future prospects
Ignores benefit of synergies to Valeant
Proposal fails to appreciate areas of upside, including:
OTC market potential
Expansion into non-US markets
Partner for primary care markets
ISTA’s Board is focused on its fiduciary duty
Exploring strategic options over the following months to maximize shareholder value

PROLENSA
Successful Development Complete
Safe and efficacious track of XIBROM and BROMDAY led to
development of a lower concentration once-daily dosing of
bromfenac
Formulation was modified from BROMDAY to allow more
penetration of drug into ocular tissues
Concentration is decreased while efficacy is maintained
PROLENSA’s recently completed clinical studies showed a
record difference in proportion of subjects achieving a SOIS of
0 by Day 15 on bromfenac vs. placebo compared to previous
bromfenac studies
Studies also showed the favorable safety profile of PROLENSA
