January 2017 Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Corporate Update

Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward - looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. The forward - looking statements may include statements regarding product development, and other statements that are not historical facts. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward - looking statements: the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and health care legislation; Sucampo's ability to accurately predict future market conditions; dependence on the effectiveness of Sucampo's patents and other protections for innovative products; the effects of competitive products on Sucampo’s products; and the exposure to litigation and/or regulatory actions. No forward - looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Sucampo undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward - looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward - looking statements in this press release should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect Sucampo's business, particularly those mentioned in the risk factors and cautionary statements in Sucampo's most recent Form 10 - K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2016, as amended, as well as its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 8 - K and 10 - Q since the filing of the Form 10 - K, all of which Sucampo incorporates by reference. 2

Non - GAAP Metrics 3 This presentation contains three financial metrics (Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) that are considered “non - GAAP” financial metrics under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non - GAAP financial metrics should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance wit h generally accepted accounting principles. The company’s definition of these non - GAAP metrics may differ from similarly titled metrics used by others. Adjusted Net Income adjusts for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict, and various non - cash items, which includes acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangibles, share compensation expense, restructuring costs, acquisition related acceleration of deferred revenue, legal settlements, amortization of financing costs , a nd the tax impact of these adjustments. EBITDA reflects net income excluding the impact of depreciation, amortization (including amortization impairment), interest expense, interest income and provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA and adjusts for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict, and various non - cash items, which includes acquisition related expenses, share compensation expense, acquisition related acceleration of deferred revenue, restructuring costs, and legal settlements. The company views these non - GAAP financial metrics as a means to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision - making, including evaluation of the company’s historical operating results and comparison to competitors’ operating results. These non - GAAP financial metrics reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the company’s business. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non - GAAP financial metrics is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Because non - GAAP financial metrics exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly - filed reports in their entirety.
