UK corporation tax is calculated at 20.2% (2014: 21.5%) of the estimated assessable profit made in the UK for the year.
The Group incurred a tax expense of $64 million, compared with $80 million in 2014. The effective tax rate is 20.1%,
(2014: 22.1%). The reduction in the effective tax rate reflects increased earnings in lower taxed jurisdictions, combined
with lower earnings in the US. In 2016, the effective tax rate is expected to be around 25%. This is expected to return
closer to 2014 levels over the medium term.
Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdiction.
The charge for the year can be reconciled to profit before tax per the consolidated income statement as follows:

*The format of the 2015 tax reconciliation has been expanded to clarify the reconciling items. For consistency, we have
re-classified the 2014 tax reconciliation using the same methodology.
Further details of the elements of the tax reconciliation are described below:
Profits taxed at different rates refer to non-UK profits taxed at statutory rates different from the UK statutory rate.
Permanent differences relate principally to income which is not subject to tax due to statutory exemptions.
Temporary differences for which no benefit is recognised includes items on which it is not possible to book deferred tax
and comprise mainly of the impact of creating/(utilising) unrecognised temporary differences.
Prior year adjustments include amounts settled with tax authorities which differ from the amounts previously provided.
6. Dividends

Amounts recognised as distributions to equity holders in the year:
Final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2014 of 15.0 cents (2013: 13.0 cents) per share 30 25

64 55
The proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2015 is 21.0 cents (2014: 15.0 cents plus 6.0 cents as a special
dividend) per share. This brings the full year dividend to 32.0 cents (2014: 22.0 cents plus 10.0 cents as a special
dividend).
The proposed final dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2016 and has not
been included as a liability in these financial statements. Based on the number of shares in issue at 31 December 2015
(199,421, 000), the unrecognised liability is $42 million.
7. Earnings per share

results of the Group before exceptional items and other adjustments. A reconciliation of the basic and core earnings used

On 15 July 2014 Hikma completed its acquisition of the US generic injectables business, Bedford Laboratories ("Bedford")
from Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc. ("Ben Venue"), a member of the Boehringer Ingelheim Group of Companies. The consideration
for the acquisition comprised of an upfront cash payment of $225 million which was paid on 15 July 2014 and contingent cash
payments which are, subject to the achievement of performance-related milestones over a period of five years from closing
the transaction.

adjustment to inventory, property plant and equipment and deferred tax made prior to the end of the measurement period on
15 July 2015.
18. Subsequent events
a) On 28 July 2015 Hikma announced that it has agreed to acquire Roxane Laboratories Inc. and Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane
Inc. (together, "Roxane"), from Boehringer Ingelheim ("Boehringer"). Roxane is a well-established US specialty generics
company with a highly differentiated product portfolio and best-in-class R&D capabilities.
On closing the transaction on 29 February 2016, Hikma paid cash consideration of $575 million (net of certain working
capital and other adjustments) and issued 40 million Ordinary Shares to Boehringer (representing an estimated 16.71 per
cent. of Hikma issued share capital immediately following the issuance). The total consideration paid was approximately
$1.6 billion based on Hikma's share price of £18.81 and the US:GBP exchange rate of 1.3879:1 on 29 February 2016. Hikma has
also agreed to make further cash payments of up to $125 million, contingent to the achievement of certain US FDA approval
milestones, depending on specific product, type of approval and dosage approval and further exclusivity and ten-year
quarterly sales based contingent payments once the products are commercialised.
b) On 8 September 2015 Hikma announced that it has agreed to acquire 97.73% of the share capital of EIMC United
Pharmaceuticals ("EUP") from a consortium of shareholders. EUP is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company specialising in
oncology products. The acquisition of EUP will strengthen Hikma's position in the large and fast growing Egyptian market,
add an attractive portfolio and pipeline in the key strategic areas of oncology and injectables, add a manufacturing
facility in Egypt, with both oral and injectable lines, and leverage Hikma's established market position in Egypt and
strong sales and marketing team. An amount of $ 38 million was held in an Escrow account related to the acquisition of EUP
as of 31 December 2015. The acquisition was completed on 17 February 2016.
Due to the proximity of the completion date of both transactions to the date of issuance of the financial statements, the
initial accounting for the business combination is in progress and as such it is not practical to disclose the Purchase
Price Allocation.
