“We are proud of what we have achieved so far this year, as we have completed the conversion to our new business model and are seeing early results in the form of improved per-prescription profitability. Although patient volumes and elective procedures, the two primary drivers of our business, continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19, we are doing everything within our control to both mitigate the near-term effects of the pandemic and position Assertio for profitability in the current environment. Zipsor, our oral formulation of diclofenac for mild-to-moderate acute pain, achieved an approximately

COVID-19
Assertio continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the patients who are treated with the Company's products and the communities where it operates. Over the past quarter, the Company has taken steps to help minimize the spread of COVID-19 and at the same time, is working to ensure continued patient access to its medicines. Assertio’s products are promotionally sensitive, and demand for these products is driven by both patient volumes and elective procedures, as well as the ability of its sales representatives to call on physicians. Because of COVID-19, both patient visits and elective procedures have declined compared with the same period in 2019. Additionally, COVID-19 impacted the Company’s ability to make office visits to providers who prescribe its products. As a result, the Company adapted its approach and increased virtual visits which it believes are, by nature, less effective than in-person sales calls. The combination of reduced patient volumes and elective procedures, and the migration to virtual visits resulted in a decline in prescriptions relative to expectations. The Company believes that it is prepared with sufficient product inventory, technology to facilitate virtual office visits and operations prepared to adapt its work environment as needed. The extent to which our operations may continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact.
Outlook for 2020
In light of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business through the first nine months of 2020 and the continuing unpredictable effect of the pandemic on near-term financial performance, as well as the September 2020 PBM action related to SPRIX, Assertio now expects that full-year pro-forma 2020 revenue will decline approximately

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, the Company has included information about non-GAAP measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA. gross profit, and operating expense as useful operating metrics. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliation, provides supplementary information to analysts, investors, lenders, and the Company’s management in assessing the Company’s performance and results from period to period. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s performance, and in part, in the determination of bonuses for executive officers and employees. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
This release also includes estimated non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin information, which the Company believes not only provides the Company's management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provides meaningful supplemental information to investors. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin information enables investors to better understand the anticipated performance of the business, but should be considered a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. No reconciliation of estimated non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin is provided in this release because some of the excluded information is not yet ascertainable or accessible and the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts.
Specified Items
Non-GAAP measures presented within this release exclude specified items. The Company considers specified items to be significant income/expense items not indicative of current operations. Specified items include non-cash adjustments to Collegium agreement revenue and cost of sales, adjustments to sales reserves for products the Company is no longer selling, interest income, interest expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, income tax expense (benefit), transaction-related costs, CEO transition and restructuring costs, legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with opioid-related litigation, investigations and regulations pertaining to the Company’s historical commercialization of opioid products, certain types of legal settlements, disputes, fees and costs gains or losses resulting from debt refinancing or extinguishment, non-cash gains or losses from adjustments to long-lived assets and assets not part of current operations, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, and amortization of fair value inventory step-up as result of purchase accounting.
Pro forma Items
The Company is providing non-GAAP pro forma net product sales to show the net product sales as if the Zyla Merger had been completed as of January 1, 2019, and therefore the Company operated on a combined basis, including Zyla, for the entirety of 2019 and 2020 periods presented in this release. The Company believes this supplemental information is useful to help investors understand the results of the combined operations, including Zyla, and assess the Company’s performance from period to period.
