#### Executive Chairman’s statement

Executing on our purpose

The pandemic has presented challenges for us, for

ourcustomers and, most critically, for patients.

Remaining focused on our purpose – to put better

heath within reach, every day – we have navigated

these challenges successfully.

Since the outset of the pandemic, we have been

committed to making sure patients have the medicines

they need, when they need them. We have listened to

our customers – healthcare professionals, hospitals,

pharmacists, wholesalers – and have responded

quickly and eectively to their rapidly changing

demands, leveraging the breadth of our portfolio

andthe quality and exibility of our US, Europe and

MENA-based manufacturing facilities.

At the same time, we have continued to strengthen

ouroperations so that we can better serve our

customers. We have placed an enhanced focus on our

procurement practices, carefully managed inventory

levels and engaged regularly with our suppliers.

Throughout the pandemic, our people have shown

anunwavering commitment to serving patient needs,

despite the many challenges that were presented. We

care for our employees and have worked hard to make

sure that they are benetting from a strong culture and

inclusive work environment and that they have

attractive development opportunities.

#### We operate with one driving purpose:to put

#### better health within reach every day.

Generating returnsfor our shareholders

Hikma has once again delivered a strong nancial

performance in 2021, growing revenue, expanding core

operating margin and generating strong cash ow.

Group core basic earnings per share in 2021 grew

by13%. Return on invested capital

1

was17.1%,

demonstrating oureciency at allocating capital

andgenerating value.

This growth is consistent with our long track record of

creating value for our shareholders. Over the last ten

years to 31 December 2021, we have delivered a total

shareholder return of 313%, compared with 94% for the

FTSE 100 and 177% for FTSE 350 healthcare companies.

We remain committed to our consistent dividend

payments and are pleased to conrm a nal dividend

of 36 cents per share for 2021. Combined with the

interim dividend of 18 cents per share, this represents

a8% increase in the total dividend for 2021.

Reinforcing our commitment to quality

At Hikma, we continue to stress the importance of

quality and reliability. Quality underpins our business

in dierent ways, be it the medicines we deliver to our

customers, the facilities and processes we have in

place to create and sell those medicines, as well as

thequality of our people.

We have built our reputation on manufacturing

high-quality medicines, and it is important we ensure

that quality remains at the core of what we do. We

maintain this quality focus through a variety of means,

including internal quality culture campaigns, ongoing

quality audits of our manufacturing sites and key

suppliers run by our Quality team, continuous

monitoring and improvement of quality metrics and

the provision of reports to the Executive Committee

bythe Hikma Quality Council.

In 2021 we introduced a new Code of Conduct, with

quality at its centre. Our Code calls on us to adhere to

the highest ethical standards and to maintain the trust

of our colleagues, customers and ultimately the

patients we serve.

Our responsibility

We are focused on putting better health within reach

for patients, but our approach to operating responsibly

goes beyond this. We work hard to ensure we are also

helping our communities in other ways: through

medicine and food donations, our work in supporting

education or helping in crisis situations. We also closely

track our impact on the environment, and for the rst

time this year have introduced a target to reduce our

carbon emissions. The ‘Acting responsibly’ section

ofthis report, on pages 37 to 49 provides more

information on all of our work on these areas, with

some case studies demonstrating what we are doing.

Board evolution

Looking to 2022 and Board composition, Pamela Kirby

will not stand for re-election to the Board at our Annual

General Meeting in April. Pam joined the Board in 2014

and assumed the role of Remuneration Committee

Chair in 2016. On behalf of the Board, I extend our

heartfelt appreciation to Pam for her steady and

thoughtful counsel during her tenure.

Nina Henderson will take over as Remuneration

Committee Chair. Nina joined the Board in 2016 and

will bring extensive executive management and board

experience to this important role.

Driving future growth

Hikma has three strong businesses, an extensive

product portfolio and a broad footprint of high-quality,

exible manufacturing facilities, all of which contribute

to the good market positions we hold. We are now

looking to build on this, with a focus on increasingly

complex and specialised medicines, and capitalising

on the growth opportunities that best benet our

customers and all our stakeholders. Importantly, in

2021, we made great strategic progress on this, with

acquisitions and business developmentopportunities

adding to the growth potential. We have a strategy

inplace which is delivering results, as demonstrated

byour strong nancial performance in 2021, and

Ilookforward to keeping you updated as we continue

to grow.

Siggi Olafsson

Chief Executive Ocer

The past year has been one of continued progress

forHikma. We have launched important products

across our markets, developed ourportfolio and

pipeline and achievedconsistency and reliability of

supply in a market that has continued to be impacted

by the pandemic.

While delivering for patients today, we have also

invested for the future, ensuring we are well placed to

continue to thrive and deliver on our purpose over the

long term. Crucially, we are doing this while acting

responsibly, making a positive impact onthe

communities in which we operate as well asminimising

our impact on the environment.

#### Strategic progress

In early 2018, I set out strategic priorities for the Group

– to deliver more from our foundation, to build a

portfolio that anticipates future health needs and to

inspire and enable our people.

Since then, we have made excellent progress against

all three priorities. Each of our businesses as well as

our Group functions are on a stronger footing today

and we are well placed as we look towards our next

chapter of growth.

Better health.

Strong nancial performance

We grew Group revenue 9% in 2021, to $2,553 million

and Group core operating prot was $632 million, an

increase of 12% on 2020. This impressive performance

was also reected in our cash ow, with cash ow from

operating activities up 38% to $638 million.

We were able to invest in acquisitions and business

development opportunities while also maintaining

astrong balance sheet, exiting the year with gearing

of0.6x net debt to core EBITDA.

Our Injectables business achieved good growth in

2021 across all our regions. Thanks to the breadth of

our portfolio, extensive and exible manufacturing

facilities and our resilient supply chain, this remains

astrong, dierentiated business. In the US, we

continue to play a leading role in supplying hospitals

with the medicines they need and are the second

largest supplier of generic injectables by volume, with

our portfolio of over 120 products. Since December,

wearealso supplying hospitals with compounded

pharmaceutical products out of our newsterile

compounding facility in Dayton, New Jersey.

We remain focused on having a portfolio t for the

future, with ongoing new launches, and are also

building our portfolio and pipeline through acquisition

and partnership, including licensing two new

biosimilars for the US.

We already have experience commercialising

biosimilars in MENA, where these products

contributed to our growth in 2021. We are seeing

goodgrowth in Europe, as we increase supply of

ourown products, and enter new markets, such

asFrance.We have also benetted from valuable

contract manufacturing opportunities, leveraging

ourextensive lyophilisation capacity in Portugal.

Our Generics business has seen signicant revenue

growth and margin expansion in recent years. Since

Ijoined in February 2018, we have grown Generics

revenue at a CAGR of 6% and, through our

continuousfocus on optimising our cost base and

driving operating eciencies, our margins are now

some ofthe highest in the industry. While the US

generic market remains highly competitive, as

evidenced byaccelerating price erosion, we are

demonstrating our ability to more than oset

competitive pressures through our strong commercial

and manufacturing capabilities and the successful

execution of our pipeline.

In 2021, we added seven new products to our Generics

portfolio, including generic Advair Diskus® and our

novel naloxone nasal spray, Kloxxado™,an important

new treatment for reversing the eects of opioid

overdose. These two products are great examples

ofthe more complex generic and specialty branded

medicines that we are prioritising and producing

fromour state-of-the-art manufacturing facility

inColumbus, Ohio.

In our Branded business, we have continued to

strengthen our market position across the region.

Ourstrategy of tiering these markets – focusing

investment in markets with the highest potential – is

paying o, with two of our Tier One markets – Algeria

and Egypt – performing strongly in 2021, more than

osetting changes in the tender market in Saudi Arabia

during the year. Our business in Algeria is benetting

from new product launches and a new oral oncology

plant – the rst of its kind in Algeria. We are also seeing

good growth in our other markets such as Morocco,

Jordan and UAE.

Partnerships are of particular importance to our

Branded business and we continued to sign new

licensing agreements in 2021, strengthening our

pipeline of innovative products for our MENA markets.

We have also built on our in-house R&D eorts and

ourpipeline of our own branded generics.

#### Chief Executive Ocer’s strategic review

#### continued

Investing in new technologies

andcapabilities

In 2021, we continued to expand our manufacturing

capacity and enhance existing facilities to stay at the

forefront of manufacturing excellence. We invested in

new lling lines, expanded warehousing and enhanced

capabilities across our operational footprint. We also

invested in a new facility in Dayton, New Jersey which

will carry out sterile compounding activities for our

Injectables business. With this new facility, our focus

on quality and our deep relationships with hospitals in

the US, we will be able to satisfy a growing need for

ready-to-administer formats of medicines.

Utilising our balance sheet

We are deploying our balance sheet to build our

growth prospects. In 2021 we announced the

acquisition of Custopharm, which will expand our

portfolio of marketed products, bring promising new

pipeline opportunities, and expand our R&D

capabilities. Post year-end, we announced our

expansion into Canada with the acquisition of

Teligent’s Canadian assets. Our teams will continue to

assess opportunities as they arise to ensure we are

deploying our capital in line with our strategy and

delivering long-term valueto our shareholders.

Building our culture of progress

andbelonging

Hikma is an inclusive place to work, underpinned by

our strong culture of progress and belonging and our

values: innovative, caring and collaborative.

Throughout 2021, we worked to reinforce our values

and ensure they are reected in our strategy, practices

and policies. Shaping our culture and equipping our

people with the right tools to be at their best continues

to be of absolute importance. To this end, we evolved

our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, which

supports diversity and inclusion initiatives, such as

ournew employee resource groups programme,

andcontinued to invest in upskilling our people

through a number of hybrid learning and

developmentprogrammes.

In a year when our people continued to adapt and

stepped up to keep our business operational, our

strong culture enabled us to be resilient, perform at

our best and provided us with the opportunity to

explore new ways of working together both internally

and with our partners and customers.

You can nd more information on how we train and

retain the best talent in the ‘Acting responsibly’ section

of this report on page 42.

#### Strategic priorities

Adding dierentiated products

throughR&DandBD

As we look ahead, we are building a dierentiated

portfolio that anticipates future health needs. This

ambition is being realised as we add complex and

specialty products to our portfolio and pipeline and

isfundamental to ensuring we continue to grow.

Our R&D eorts are focussed on developing products

where there is a patient need. In 2021, we spent 6% of

revenue on R&D, in line with our target of 6% to 7%. We

also strengthened our R&D capabilities, expanding our

R&D network with the development of a new site for

complex injectables in Warren, New Jersey, and we will

be adding R&D capabilities through the acquisition of

Custopharm

1

, the generic injectables business.

Partnerships are integral to Hikma’s strategy. In 2021,

we entered into new partnerships and built on existing

ones in each of our businesses. Some of these

opportunities will contribute in the near term, while

others will help to drive future growth. The biosimilar

deals we signed with Bio-Thera and Gedeon Richter

will enable us to bring important complex injectable

medicines to the US in the medium term.

Long-term,

#### sustainablegrowth

By executing on R&D, establishing strong partnerships,

expanding our specialty portfolio and building our

compounding business, we will further diversify and

transform our business in order to achieve the next

phase of growth.

As we do this, we must also ensure we are operating

responsibly in all aspects of what we do. We have

identied four focus areas where we can drive positive

impact: advancing health and wellbeing, empowering

our people, protecting the environment and we

building trust through quality in everything we do.

We have a responsibility for our customers and their

patients, who rely on our important medicines every

day. Our mission to advance health and wellbeing also

applies to the broader wellbeing of the communities in

which we operate and it extends to ensuring that our

own people are empowered by an inclusive culture

where everyone can thrive.

We are committed to protecting the environment,

areassessing our environmental impact and

understanding how we can minimise it. I am very

pleased that the Board has approved a new target to

reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 25%by 2030,

compared to a 2020 baseline.

Conclusion

2021 has been another year of growth for Hikma, as

well as one of advancing our future ambition. With our

expansion into compounding and securing a future

entry into the US biosimilar market, we are continuing

to ensure we remain a top Injectables business in the

US, whilst also expanding our presence in Europe and

MENA. For our Generics business, we are taking strides

forward in dierentiating our portfolio, with specialty,

marketed products such as Kloxxado™, and complex

generics such as generic Advair Diskus®. Our Branded

business continues to deliver consistent growth,

leveraging our well-established presence, reputation

and expertise in the MENA region.

I am excited about how far we have come in the past

few years, and by the opportunities we have for the

future, as we continue to put better health within reach

in 2022 and beyond.

THE

IMPACT

OF

COVID

-

19

The pandemic demonstrated the vital role of the

healthcare industry, particularlythe generics

sector.At the start of the pandemic, we were

operating at full capacity, prioritising the

manufacture ofproducts that were in highest

demand, whilst continuing to maintain supply

acrossour broader portfolio.

While there is still volatility in the market, we are

focused on ensuring that our exible, high-quality

manufacturing capabilities and resilient supply chain

can continue to underpin our ability to provide a

consistent supply of medicines to our customers.

Aspart of our strategy and to mitigate supply risk,

wecontinue to qualify alternate sources of raw

materials. By growing our portfolio, we will also

ensure we have the products our patients need.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives

ofmillions of people and communities around the

world, creating signicant uncertainties. Patients

were cautious to enter hospitals, causing a

signicant diagnostic gap. There were c.1 billion

missed diagnostic visits in 2020, which represents

a20% decline on total expected diagnostic visits in

a normal year

5

. Missed visits have had a direct impact

on prescription utilisation and elective procedures.

While the pharmaceutical industry has shown great

agility during the COVID-19 pandemic, it also raised

concerns around the resilience of supply chains.

This has prompted calls for local API and

intermediate productionand some countries,

suchas the US, are also looking to increase local

production of nished goods.

The pandemic continues to impact and shape

theglobal healthcare sector today. A large number

of COVID-19 patients have a range of persisting

health conditions that are having a longer term

eect on their central nervous, cardiovascular and

respiratory systems

GROWTH

IN

BIOSIMILAR

UPTAKE

Tapping into the growth of the biosimilar market in

the US has been an area of focus for Hikma. We are

leveragingour established commercial capabilities

inthe US to build a highly complementary portfolio

of biosimilar products through licensing. In 2021, we

signed an agreement with Bio-Thera Solutions for

ustekinumab, a proposed biosimilar to Stelara®, and

with Gedeon Richter for denosumab, a proposed

biosimilar referencing Prolia® and Xgeva®. In MENA,

through our partnership with Celltrion, we have

launched three biosimilar products in the MENA

region:Remsima®, Truxima® and Herzuma®.

Biosimilars are gaining more momentum as adoption

in the US improves. It is estimated that global

biosimilar sales were over $15 billion in 2020, a 56%

annual growth rate since 2015. The market is

expected to continue its double-digit growth,

reaching more than $30 billion by 2025

7

.

Biosimilar uptake varies by country. Europe makes

up half of the market by value and there are more

than 60 products approved. In the US, the FDA has

published new guidance on interchangeability,

providing greater clarity for developing companies.

This has helped recently launched biosimilars

achieve a rapid uptake compared to previous years.

As the regulatory environment continues to evolve in

the US, and in China and Japan, we expect to see an

increase in biosimilaradoption

#### Group

Group revenue grew 9% reecting growth in each of

our three businesses. Group gross margin reduced

slightly, primarily due to a shi in product mix in our

Injectables and Branded businesses.

Group operating expenses were $719 million (2020:

$622 million). Excluding adjustments related to the

amortisation of intangible assets (other than soware)

of $73 million (2020: $42 million) and net income from

exceptional items of $23 million (2020: $67 million),

Group core operating expenses were $669 million

(2020: $647 million).

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses

were $561 million (2020: $509 million). Excluding the

amortisation of intangible assets (other than soware)

and exceptional items, core SG&A expenses were

$488 million (2020: $464 million), up 5%, reecting

good control of costs while increasing spend in certain

areas such as sales and marketing for specialty

products in the Generics business and a gradual

return to pre-COVID marketing activities in our

Branded business.

Research and development (R&D)expenses were $143

million (2020: $137 million). This reects an increase in

the second half as the Group focused on the future

pipeline. Core R&D was 6% of Group core revenue, in

line with our strategy.

Other net operating expenses were $15 million (2020:

$26 million income). Excluding exceptional items

core

other net operating expenses were $38 million (2020:

STRATEGIC

REPORT

Injectables revenue grew 8% in 2021, benetting from

our broad portfolio, geographic spread, exible

manufacturingcapabilities andnew launches across

our regions.

US Injectables revenue grew 4% to $691 million (2020:

$662 million), reecting a good performance from new

launches while maintaining demand for our broad

product portfolio.

MENA Injectables revenue was $180 million, up 13% on

a reported basis and 4% on a constant currency basis

(2020: $160 million). This growth reects a strong

performance across most of our markets and good

demand for our growing biosimilar portfolio where

wecontinue to grow the market by increasing patient

access. This more than oset temporary disruptions

insome markets.

European Injectables revenue was $182 million,

up17%(2020: $155 million). In constant currency,

European Injectables revenue increased by 13%.

Thisreects a good performance from our own

products, recent launches and continued demand

Core gross prot grew 3% to $581 million and gross

margin declined to 55.2%, reecting a normalisation in

product mix following the strong demand for COVID-19

of costs.

During the year, the Injectables business launched 15

products in the US, 29 in MENA and 34 in Europe. We

submitted 93 lings to regulatory authorities across all

STRATEGIC

REPORT

The good revenue growth in our Generics business,

up10% in 2021, was primarily driven by a strong

performance from recently launched products,

whichmore than oset increased price erosion.

Generics core gross prot growth and margin

expansion was primarily due to product mix, with

gooddemand for protable recent launches.

We delivered a strong improvement in Generics core

operating prot, which excludes the amortisation of

intangible assets (other than soware) and exceptional

items

1

,

mostly due to the improvement in gross prot.

While sales and marketing spend increased as a result

of the expansion of our specialty business, this was

partially oset by good control of other operating

expenses. For the year, Generics core operating

margin was 24.6%, ahead of our guidance of 22%

Annual Report 2021

STRATEGIC

REPORT

Our Branded business continued to deliver growth in

2021, with revenue up 9%, which includes the impact

of hyperination. In constant currency, revenue grew

5%, with a good performance across our markets,

particularly in Algeria, where we saw the benets of our

new oncology plant and in Egypt, where we benetted

from strong demand for our chronic treatments. Our

chronic treatments also saw good demand in our retail

business in Saudi Arabia, which partially oset lower

demand inthe government tenderbusiness. Other

markets, including Jordan, UAE and Morocco grew

strongly. Across the region we benetted from our

focussed commercial eorts, a responsive supply

chain and the breadth of our portfolio.

Core gross prot grew 7% and, on a constant currency

basis, core gross prot was at primarily due to an

increase in slow-moving inventory resulting from

pandemic-related demand uctuations. Core gross

margin contracted slightly to 49.0%.

Core operating prot, which excludes the amortisation

of intangibles (other than soware) and exceptional

items

1

, fell 1%. In constant currency, core operating

prot grew 5% as higher investment in R&D and

increased sales and marketing spend due to activities

returning to pre-COVID levels was oset by good

control of G&A costs. Core operating margin

decreased primarily due to devaluation of the

Sudanese pound. In constant currency, core operating

margin was stable.

During the year, the Branded business launched 87

products and submitted 144 lings to regulatory

authorities. Revenue from in-licensed products

represented 36% of Branded revenue (2020: 37%).

On a reported basis, net nance expense was $39 million (2020:

$22million). This comprised $30 million nance income and

$69million nance expense. Excluding exceptional items

2

, core net

nance expense was $55 million (2020: $45 million). This comprised

$1 million nance income and $56 million nance expense. The

increase compared with 2020 in part reects a drop in interest

income over the course of 2021 due to a reduction in interest rates,

and a slight increase in expenses related to the renancing of our

revolving credit facility.

We expect core net nance expense to be around $55 million in 2022.

Prot before tax

Reported prot before tax decreased to $544 million (2020: $558

million), primarily reecting an increase in the amortisation of

intangibles (other than soware), from $42 million to $73 million, due

to new product launches. Excluding the amortisation of intangibles

(other than soware) and exceptional items

3

, core prot before tax

was $578 million (2020: $522 million), up 11%, reecting the strong

performance of our three business segments.

Tax

The Group incurred a reported tax expense of $124 million (2020:

$128 million) and a reported eective tax rate of 22.8% (2020: 22.9%).

Excluding exceptional items, Group core tax expense was $129 million

(2020: $115 million). The core eective tax rate increased slightly to

22.3% (2020: 22.0%), primarily due to a change in the earnings mix.

We expect the Group core eective tax rate to be in the range of 22%

to 23% in 2022.

STRATEGIC

REPORT

Dividend

The Board is recommending a nal dividend of 36 cents per share

(approximately 26 pence per share) (2020: 34 cents per share)

bringing the total dividend for the full year to 54 cents per share

(approximately 40 pence per share) (2020: 50 cents per share).

Theproposed dividend will be paid on 28 April 2022 to eligible

shareholders on the register at the close of business on 18 March

2022, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on

25April2022.

Net cash ow, working capital and net debt

The Group generated strong operating cash ow of $638 million

(2020: $464 million). This change primarily reects the good

performance of the Group, combined with a focussed eort to

optimise inventories following COVID-19 related stocking in 2020.

Theresultant decrease in inventory days drove an improvement in

working capital days, which decreased by 26 days to 238 days.

Capital expenditure was $145 million (2020: $172 million). In the US,

$56 million was spent upgrading equipment and adding new

technologies for our Generics and Injectables businesses, including

our new compounding facility in Dayton, New Jersey. In MENA, $66

million was spent on strengthening and expanding manufacturing

capabilities. In Europe, we spent $23 million on strengthening our

capabilities. We expect Group capital expenditure to be in the range

of $160 million to $180 million in 2022.

The Group’s total debt decreased to $846 million at 31 December

2021 (31 December 2020: $932 million). This decrease primarily

reects our strong cash ow generation, which enabled a reduction in

short-term borrowing, while we maintained the repayment schedule

of long-term loans.

During the year, we upsized, amended and extended our revolving

credit facility (RCF), eective as of January 2022, allowing us the

exibility to pursue strategic opportunities. The RCF remained

undrawn at year end.

The Group’s cash balance at 31 December 2021 was $426 million

(2020: $327 million).

The Group’s net debt (excluding co-development agreements and

contingent liabilities) was $420 million at 31 December 2021 (31

December 2020: $605 million). We continue to have a strong balance

sheet, with a net debt to core EBITDA ratio of 0.6x (31 December

2020: 0.9x).

On 24 February 2022, the Group announced a share buyback

programme of up to $300 million to be executed during 2022. This

takes into account the strength of our balance sheet and low leverage

ratio while maintaining the nancial exibility needed to invest in the

business and pursue inorganic growth opportunities.

Balance sheet

Net assets at 31 December 2021 were $2,467 million (31 December

2020: $2,148 million). Net current assets were $1,078 million

(31December 2020: $894 million).

Outlook

For Injectables, as the COVID-19 volatility continues to ease and we

see a gradual return of elective surgeries, we expect for revenue to

grow in the low to mid-single digits, supported by new product

launches. We expect core operating margin to be in the range of 35%

to 37%. Our guidance does not include a contribution from

Custopharm, which remains subject to FTC approval.

For Generics, we expect revenue to grow in the range of 8% to 10%

and for core operating margin to be in the range of 24% to 25%. This

reects a good contribution from new and recent launches, which we

expect will more than oset an acceleration in price erosion. Our

guidance assumes a mid-year launch of sodium oxybate.

For Branded, we expect revenues in 2022 to be in line with 2021.

Excluding the impact from hyperination in 2021, we expect Branded

revenue to grow in the mid-single digits.

We expect Group core net nance expense to be around $55 million

and the core eective tax rate to be in the range of 22% to 23%.

We expect Group capital expenditure to be in the range $160 million

to $180 million.

Denitions

We use a number of non-IFRS measures to report and monitor the

performance of our business. Management uses these adjusted

numbers internally to measure our progress and for setting

performance targets. We also present these numbers, alongside our

reported results, to external audiences to help them understand the

underlying performance of our business. Our core numbers may be

calculated dierently to other companies.

Adjusted measures are not substitutable for IFRS results and

shouldnot be considered superior to results presented in accordance

with IFRS.

Core results

Reported results represent the Group’s overall performance.

However, these results can include one-o or non-cash items

whichare excluded when assessing the underlying performance

ofthe Group. To provide a more complete picture of the Group’s

performance to external audiences, we provide, alongside our

reported results, core results, which are a non-IFRS measure. Our

core results exclude the exceptional items and other adjustments

setout in Note 6 of the Group consolidated nancial statements.

Working capital days

We believe Group working capital days provide a useful measure of

the Group’s working capital management and liquidity. Group working

capital days are calculated as Group receivable days plus Group

inventory days, less Group payable days. Group receivable days are

calculated as Group trade receivables x 365, divided by 12 months

Group revenue. Group inventory days are calculated as Group

inventory x 365, divided by 12 months Group cost of sales. Group

payable days are calculated as Group trade payables x 365, divided

by 12 months Group cost of sales.

Group net debt

We believe Group net debt is a useful measure of the strength of the

Group’s nancing position. Group net debt is calculated as Group

total debt less Group total cash. Group total debt excludes co-

development agreements and contingent liabilities.

#### Access to medicines

We consider access to medicine to be one of our

highest sustainability priorities. As a generics

pharmaceutical company, we are in the business of

making medicines bothaordableand accessible

across our geographies, which is consistent with our

purpose to put better health within reach, every day.

Across the MENA region, where we have a broad local

manufacturing presence and are the fourth largest

company in region according to sales, we develop,

produce and distribute important medicines, making

sure that underserved populations have access to the

medicines they need, when theyneed them.

In the US, where we are a top-10 generics company, we

are a proud member of the Association for Accessible

Medicines (AAM), an advocacy group that advances

access to generic medicines. Through this partnership,

along with our generic peer companies, we strive to get

safe, eective and less costly medicines into the hands

of patients across the US who need them.

In Europe, we have three manufacturing sites, sell our

products in several countries and continue to expand.

Our broad portfolio of medicines, frequent new

product launches and focus on expanding our product

pipeline allow us to increase access to medicines in

each of the countries in which we operate.

Medicine donations

We have an active medicine donation programme,

through which we provide direct support to those

people and communities that need it most: including

low-income groups, displaced persons, children with

life-threatening illnesses, and patients without

sucient medical coverage. During 2021, we continued

to support our partners including Direct Relief,

Dispensary of Hope, Americares, the Brother’s Brother

Foundation, the National Children’s Cancer Society,

Save the Children and others. During the year, we

donated $3.2 million of medicine (value based on cost

of goods). Our medicine donations in 2020 were higher

than 2021 due mainly to our response to the medical

emergency following the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon.

Addressing medicine shortages

Hikma’s broadportfolio and exible manufacturing

capabilities enable us to quickly respond to urgent

needs for important medicines, especially when critical

shortages exist. In the US, we work closely with the US

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to anticipate and

address shortages of vital medicines. We have done

this consistently throughout the pandemic by altering

our manufacturing schedules to prioritise production

of medicines in short supply that hospitals need for

treating their most seriously ill COVID-19 patients.

Hikma has played a leading role in addressing US drug

shortages, launching more than 20 medicines into

shortage situations in recent years and receiving an

award from the FDA for our eorts.

developed an emissions reduction target

forScope 1 and 2 emissions.

During the 2021 reporting period, our measured Scope

decrease between 2020 and 2021 of 19%, due largely

to our continued investment in renewable energy and

improved eciencies. Using the location-based

method, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced by 8%

between 2020 and 2021.

Our reporting of Scope 1 and 2 emissions has been

Our UK oce

The Group operates one location within the United

Kingdom, where we are listed, which is an oce

building that is managed by a third party. During the

year, the UK site consumed 116,392 kWh (2020: 128,654

kWh) of energy, which is equivalent to 25 tCO

2

e.

The energy consumption is measured by meter

readings provided by the managing agent and relates

to electricity used for heating, cooling and general

oce power. The Group does not provide transport

within the UK other than via private hire vehicles for

which consumption data is not available. During the

year, the UK site was assessed by an independent

expert for the potential to improve energy eciency,

and recommendations were provided for actions to be

undertaken in the future.

Measures to improve eciency and reduce

our carbonfootprint

We continue to improve the energy eciency of our

operations. As part of our eorts to reduce our GHG

emissions from our sites in the USA, we supported the

generation of35,000 MWh of clean energy generated

in the US in 2021 through the acquisition of Renewable

Energy Certicates (RECs). Those acquired Renewable

Energy Certicates were certied under Green-e

Renewable Energy Standard for Canada and the

United States v3.5 ensuring strong compliance with

standards, quality assurance and proper oversight.

Also, in Germany, Italy, Portugal and Sudan, we procure

a portion of our electricity from renewable sources.

In Tunisia, we installed our rst combined cooling, heat

and power (CCHP) system, helping to reduce costs

and emissions at our locations there. In other locations

such as Egypt and Morocco, we continued our roll-out

of more ecient light emitting diode (LED) xtures. In

locations including Jordan and Tunisia, we installed

building management systems (BMS) which provide

economic and sustainability benets.

Target

We have put in place a target to reduce our Scope 1

and 2 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, using a 2020

baseline. The target was developed using the absolute

contraction approach and is in line with the Paris

Climate Agreement’s well-below 2°C scenario.

Our approach to achieve the target

We are committed to achieving our emissions

reduction target while continuing to deliver on our

strategy and grow the business.

We have taken signicant steps in 2021 to reduce our

Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Our purchase of RECs in the

US provided substantial Scope 2 emissions reductions

for 2021. Our preferred approach for Scope 2 emissions

reductions is to contribute to the growth of the

renewable energy capacity of the grid. We will be

exploring such opportunities in 2022 and onwards.

In addition to our actions towards achieving our Scope

1 and 2 emissions target, we will focus in 2022 on

identifying opportunities to make a meaningful impact

on our Scope 3 emissions.

Methodology for Scope 1 and 2

We quantify and report our organisational GHG

emissions in alignment with the World Resources

Institute’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate

Accounting and Reporting Standard and in alignment

with the Scope 2 Guidance. We consolidate our

organisational boundary according to the operational

control approach, which includes all our facilities. Due

to this boundary, joint ventures with less than 50%

holding are not included as we do not have operational

control. We have adopted a materiality threshold of 5%

for GHG reporting purposes.

In some cases, where data is missing, it has been

estimated using the following methodology: using data

from one year prior to the month to be estimated or

previous year as proxy, calculate an average daily

consumption over that period and applying that to the

number of days within the month to be estimated.

We conducted an

in‑depth analysis of

our supply chain to

understand the size

of our Scope 3

footprint

#### GHG emissions: Scope 3

We conducted an in-depth analysis of our supply chain

to understand the size of our Scope 3 footprint and

performed a relevance assessment to identify the

most material and relevant categories with the support

of an external partner.

In line with Greenhouse Gas Protocol technical

guidance for calculating Scope 3 emissions, we use

acombination of a spend-based method and,

wherever possible, an average-data method leveraging

respectively Exiobase 3.4 and Ecoinvent 3.7.1

databases. Our methodology incorporates supplier

location, ination and currency rates in order to

increase the accuracy of our reporting.

For most relevant categories, as reected below, full

year 2021 Scope 3 emissions are estimated, at 837,227

tCO

2

e and have been externally veried.

Scope 3 emissions for these categories represent 88%

of all Hikma emissions to manufacture, promote and

distribute its products.

Other Scope 3 categories were either not signicant

enough for reporting or not applicable.

Moving forward, we will be looking at engaging with our

supplier base to obtain supplier specic or product

level emissions data to improve our Scope 3 data

quality and identify opportunities to reduce our

carbon footprint.

#### Water and waste management

We have programmes and practices in placeto

manage water and waste and we comply with all

relevant laws and regulations in this regard.

The use of water is critical for the pharmaceutical

manufacturing process. In 2021, we conducted a water

screening exercise with external consultants to identify

water-related risks in the short, medium and long term.

The analysis included 20 manufacturing sites across 11

countries and, using various evaluation tools such as

the WorldResources Institute Aqueduct and World

Wildlife Fund Water Risk Filter, assessed risks at each

location. The study also included a general climate

analysis, whereby we assessed how water-related risks

might be aected by climate change in the medium

and long term. Through the analysis, we identied

which sites had the greatest exposure to water

scarcity. In 2022, we will work with relevant sites to

improve understanding of how water is withdrawn,

used and discharged from them and this knowledge

will help us identify water conservation opportunities.

We are also improving the way in which we monitor

andmanage our waste, and are actively measuring

theamount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste

generated through our operations.

More information about water and waste management

will be included in our 2021 Sustainability Report.

#### Strategy

Climate‑related risks and opportunities

andtheir impact

With the assistance of third-party climate expertise,

Hikma undertook an identication and assessment

project to better understand the top climate-related

risks and opportunities that could be signicant to

Hikma’s business. The following were selected for

further modelling of their nancial impact based on

strategic importance to Hikma, correlation with other

projects and initiatives and granular data availability

for modelling.

Physical risks

–

Impact of storms and ooding on our facilities

andoperations

Transition risks

–

Impact of carbon pricing on the raw materials costs

of some of our most energy intensive inputs such as

APIs and packaging

–

Changes in investor preferences around ESG

impacting our market valuation

Opportunities

Our exposure to energy pricing changes was reviewed.

Alongside this energy modelling, we reviewed various

strategic opportunities to reduce our energy risk and

reduce our carbon impact by changing our energy mix,

setting an energy strategy, and reducing our overall

demand through eciencies. We will continue to work

on our transition plan in 2022.

Methodology

We used a mixture of qualitative and quantitative

modelling to understand how these risks and

opportunities may change under dierent climate

futures as well as three dierent time horizons. We

used the Bank of England’s reference climate scenarios

to understand the potential future physical dierences

in climate driven by temperature changes, outlined in

the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP).

Also, we have used the Shared Socioeconomic

Pathways (SSPs). Through this exercise we were able to

better understand the potential nancial impacts of

the identied climate risks and opportunities, which

will be input into our strategic planning.

STRATEGIC

REPORT

Carbon pricing impacts on our supply chain

We looked at projected carbon pricing in several

regions under dierent climate scenarios, and the

potential pass-on cost that could occur within our

supply chain inating our costs. As APIs and

packagingmaterials are some of our most energy

andcarbon intensive procured goods, it is these

materials that would likely be impacted the most

bythe introduction of carbon prices and therefore

formed the basis of our modelling.

We have a sustainable procurement programme in

place to better understand the carbon impacts of the

goods and services we procure. As a key mitigation,

weintend to engage with our main materials suppliers

to understand their goals to reduce carbon, move to

renewable energy and increase energy eciencies in

their production. Through supplier engagement, we

anticipate we can partly mitigate the impact of carbon

pricing pass-on in the future.

Investor preference change

Investor preferences around ESG credentials are

changing. We modelled the potential impact on our

market valuation, from shiing investor allocations

away from assets which do not meet ESG requirements

and from decreasing ESG benchmark ratings.

Hikma is already engaging and communicating with

investors on ESG-related matters including climate.

By ensuring we continue to strengthen and

communicate our climate and sustainability ambitions

and performance, this risk is mitigated. See our Acting

responsibly section, page 37, for more information on

our performance this year.

Energy pricing changes and our energy strategy

While energy costs to our business make up only

approximately 1% of total costs, energy is highly

linkedto our sustainability strategy and our continued

eorts to reduce our impact on the environment;

particularly through energy eciency and moving to

renewable energy.

We modelled multiple opportunities to understand

how we mitigate and enhance our energy strategy over

time, including dierent energy mixes in our dierent

regions andachievement of dierent energy eciency

goals. This modelling work will provide input into our

energy transition plan.

Physical impacts on our facilities

Given our geographical spread across many regions

wehave varying levels of exposure to physical risks of

climate change in our dierent locations.

The modelling of increasing risk of storms and ood

causing damage to our facilities, as well as disruption

to our operations, show that we have limited direct

exposure to these acute risks in a future 1.5°C and

well-below 2°C world. However, as the risk increases

under a business-as-usual scenario whereglobal

warming exceeds 3°C there is some potential risk for

our facilities.

With the insights from our modelling and

understanding that these risks are not signicant to

our sites at this stage, we will continue to engage with

our operational facilities teams in the highest risk

regions to ensure our business continuity and recovery

processes are t for purpose. The insights of this

analysis were used in the stress testing for the

longer-term viability assessment (see page 63).

The results of our

nancial impact

assessment

determine that

climate change is

not expected to

have a material

impact on the

Group’s viability in

the longer‑term

Resilience of Hikma’s strategy

From our nancial impact modelling we were able to understand how certain areas of our business could be

impacted by climate change. The table below summarises the key insights from our nancial impact modelling

conducted this year for the ve risks and opportunities.

Summary ndings

The results of our nancial impact assessment show that climate change is not expected to have a material impact

on the Group’s viability in the longer term. The longer-term is considered to be a time period of three years. This is

in line with the timeframe used in the longer-term viability assessment (see page 63). We recognise that climate-

related risks will continue to develop over a signicantly longer period and assess that Hikma will be able to adapt

its strategy and respond appropriately to any such risks that may threaten to have a material impact on the Group.

We will continue to use the insights outlined above over the coming year to strengthen our monitoring metrics and

understand where we need to improve our mitigation controls.

#### Risk management

Process for identifying and assessing

climate‑related risks

We identify and assess climate related risks using

arange of approaches. We conducted a risk

identication and assessment exercise as part of

theenterprise risk management process with all risk

owners across the business. The outcomes of this

review fed in to the TCFD Working Group’s assessment

of the most relevant climate-related risks for Hikma.

We engaged external experts to support the TCFD

Working Group to identify and assess climate-related

risks using climate science data and known pathways.

We use three timeframes to review and assess the

likelihoodand impacts of our climate risks and

impacts. The rst timeframe was for a period of

threeyears, aligned with the longer-term viability

assessment (see page 63). We also considered how

climate-related risks might impact the Group further

into the future.

Process for managing climate‑related risks

and integration of risk management

processes

Climate-related risks are identied, assessed, and

managed by teams across the organisation depending

on the nature of the risk. Our risk management

framework (see page 54-61) provides a structure for

signicant risks to be escalated and integrated into

ourenterprise risk management process. In 2021 we

also established the TCFD Working Group, a cross-

functional team to consolidate assessments on this

emerging risk area.

Examples of how climate-related risks are managed

and integrated into existing risk management

activitiesinclude:

–

Longer term viability assessment: environment and

climate change related risks included in the scenario

modelling (see page 63)

–

Crisis and continuity management programme:

siteassessments of physical risks and controls

(seepage60)

Looking forward to the coming year, environment and

climate change will continue to be a focus area and will

continue to be part of the enterprise risk management

framework (see page 54-61). We will continue to build

on our risk identication and modelling by working with

key stakeholders across our business to understand

existing risk mitigation controls and processes in

place.Where we identify any control gaps or areas

ofimprovement, we will build clear action plans

andownership to drive this forward to ensure our

long-term resilience.

#### Metrics and targets

Metrics to assess climate‑related risks

andopportunities

We have taken steps to understand the nancial

impacts of some of our material risks and

opportunities. The next steps are to improve the

metrics by which we monitor these risks and capture

opportunities, and the eectiveness of our controls.

We also continue to improve our environmental

metrics in relation to emissions, energy, water, and

waste management.

The RemunerationCommittee determined the

CEO’sperformance target for 2021 which ensures

thatclear progress is being made with respect to

thedevelopment and execution of the Group’s

Environmental, Social and Governance strategy, which

includes the Group’s climate-related programmes. This

also includes the identication of climate-related risks

and opportunities and the management thereof.

Risk context

Our purpose is to put better health within reach, every

day for healthcare professionals and their patients.

We bring patients across the US, MENA and Europe

abroad range of generic, specialty and branded

pharmaceutical products.

The future is uncertain and it carries risk and

opportunity for our business. These risks and

opportunities may be related to our strategy and

delivery of our objectives, the activities and processes of

the organisation, the expectations ofour stakeholders,

or our key relationships and dependencies.

Find out more about the internal and external context

for risk management for the Group in the ‘CEO’s

strategic review’ (pages 6–9), ‘Our markets’ (pages

18–19) and ‘Our business model’ (pages 20–21).

Risk strategy

Eective management of risk and opportunity is

fundamental for the long-term success for the Group.

We operate an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

framework to ensure that we are comprehensive and

structured in our approach. The framework delivers

athorough view of our risk exposure to inform

ourdecision-making and enable the alignment,

eectiveness and eciency of our strategic, tactical,

operational and compliance processes. The approach

ensures we full our obligations and provides assurance

that our activities are appropriately controlled.

Risk appetite

The Board determines the nature and extent of the

principal risks it is willing to take and communicates

this through the Group risk appetite. The risk appetite

outlines expected management strategies and details

limits and tolerances on risk exposure for each of the

principal risks. It forms the foundation of the ERM

framework and guides management decision-making

across the Group. The risk appetite is reviewed twice

ayear at Board-level and is monitored by management

on an ongoingbasis.

Risk governance

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the Group’s

approach to risk management and internal control. On

behalf of the Board, the Audit Committee oversees risk

management for the Group as part of its

responsibilities for internal control.

The Audit Committee reviews the material risks

facingthe Group, considering dierent sources of

assurance, including executive management, internal

audit and external audit. The Chair of the Audit

Committee is a standing member of the Compliance,

Responsibility and Ethics Committee (CREC) ensuring

connection between the Board committees with risk

oversight responsibilities

1

.

Internal audit provides independent assurance of the

Group’s internal control environment. For more details

on our internal audit approach see page 83.

The ERM oce enables and drives the implementation

of eective risk management practices through the

organisation, guides global risk owners in assessing

and reporting their risks, coordinates emerging risk

assessments, and establishes partnerships across

theorganisation to promote and develop a responsible

risk culture.

Complianceand control functions withprofessional

expertise in managing risk in specialist areas are in

place across the organisation.

The CEO and Executive Committee have direct

ownership of risk management for the Group. Risk

management accountability is fully embedded within

their executive responsibilities and includes

assessments of strategic, tactical, operational and

compliance related opportunities and risks.

As part of the risk governance framework, senior

executives are assigned responsibility for specic

principal risks. These global risk owners coordinate

riskmanagement activities across the organisation

with support from management teams to ensure risk

exposure is managed appropriately and in line with

therisk appetite.

Risk management occurs across the organisation

Complementary management structures provide assurance over our risk management and internal control through standards, accountability,

oversight, independent andexternal assessments.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

AnnualReport 2021

In our risk assessments we analyse our current risk

exposure (given the controls we already have in

place) and the opportunity forfurther management

action to mitigate the risk.

Risks with higher risk exposure and opportunity

forfurther management action are categorised as

‘Priority focus’.

Risks with higher risk exposure but without

reasonable opportunity for further management

action are ‘Closely monitor’ risks.

Risks assessed as having lower risk exposure are

either ‘Improve’ if there are reasonable actions that

management can take, or ‘Continue to operate’ if

noadditional actions are considered necessary.

This approach helps guide our decision-making for

risk response, prioritisation, and allocation of

resources across the Group.

a longer term that may have signicant impact on our

ability to achieve our objectives.

Emerging risks are oen driven by forces outside our

control. Although emerging risks may be mitigated by

existing control frameworks, they need to be assessed

to determine if any aspects fall outside current

processes or if the controls in place may become

inadequate as the risk develops.

Our approach involves establishing cross-functional

teams to assess the risks and opportunities

recognising these may develop over an extended

timeframe.The risk assessmentmethods deployed

vary and may involve engaging with external experts,

scenario modelling, engagement withexisting risk

mitigation programmes, and development of risk

mitigation and control strategies that will be

sustainable over the longer term.

Priorities for 2022

In addition to core activities, in 2022 we will further

embed our crisis and continuity management

processes to strengthen our organisational resilience,

with a focus on reviewing and integrating our IT

Continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities.

We will continue to develop partnerships between

compliance and control functions to bring greater

assurance for the Group.

We will further develop ouremerging risk assessment

processes, including a focus on emerging climate-

related risks alongside our alignment with the

recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-

related Financial Disclosures (see pages 50–52 for

more details).

In line with good practice, we will conduct an

independent external assessment of ourrisk

management programme to provide assurance to

management and the Board.

#### Risk management activities

Risk management activities occur at all levels of the

organisation. The risk governance framework provides

structure for these activities to ensure consistency

ofapproach, alignment to the risk appetite and

monitoring of our risk exposure across the organisation.

The ERM oce coordinates regular risk assessments

to review management of risks we already know about,

and to identify, analyse and evaluate new and

emerging risks.

These assessments are consolidated through the ERM

oce and reported to the Executive Committee by

theglobal risk owners. Summarised reports and key

outcomes are reviewed by the Audit Committee and

Board. In addition to the core reporting processes

described, a range of key risk management activities

occurred during the year.

Risk management in practice

Recognising risk as the eect of uncertainty on

objectives, our ability to manage risk enables delivery

of our objectives. To ensure our assessments and

management of risk are action-oriented we categorise

our risks considering not just signicance of risk

exposure, but also the opportunity for management

action, described in the ‘Risk response decision-

making’ section below.

Examples of our risk management in practice are seen

in the ‘Hikma Egypt CCM engagement’ and ‘Hikma

Morocco risk assessment’ case studies on the next page.

Emerging risks

Emerging risks are those that are newly identied and

have the potential to become signicant risks for the

Group, those that may already be well known but that

are rapidly changing, or those that are developing over

#### Case study: Hikma Morocco

#### risk assessment

Aligned to the Group-level enterprise risk

management process, cross-functional country-

level risk assessments are conducted periodically.

The ERM Oce partners with Compliance to

coordinate these engagements and provide

support to local leadership teamsin identifying,

analysing and evaluating risks, and to connect

with regional and Group functions for support

andexpertise.

The engagement with Hikma Morocco was

oneofmany projects completed in 2021. The

project was delivered with a hybrid on-site and

remote support.

Through local functional risk workshops and

senior management reviews the understanding

ofthe risks facing Hikma Morocco was enhanced

and risk response decisions taken for ‘Priority

focus’ and ‘Improve’ risks.

#### Case study: Hikma Egypt CCM engagement

Our Crisis and Continuity Management (CCM)

Programme isdesigned to develop and embed

capabilities across all parts of Hikma for key CCM

disciplines: Crisis Management, Business Continuity

(including IT Continuity and Disaster Recovery), and

Emergency Response.

Country and site engagements coordinated by the

CCM Programme provide local management teams

with a structured approach to focus on this risk

management activity with access to internal and

external subject matter expertise, and the opportunity

to share good practice across the Group.

The CCM engagement with Hikma Egypt was one of

many such projects completed in 2021 and followed

a tried and tested project plan.

Aer initial kick o with the General Manager and

senior leadershipteam members, local and

programme subject matter experts for each of the

CCM disciplines reviewed existing arrangements,

assessed changes in the organisation and business

priorities, and updated processes and procedures.

All locations, business activities, departments and

key dependencies were considered.

The culmination of the engagement were CCM

workshops and exercises that provided training

forlocal management in handling various types

ofdisruption.

#### Risk management

#### continued

#### Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group faces risks from a range of sources that could have a material impact on our nancial commitments and ability to trade in the future.

The Board has performed a robust assessment of the principal risks for the Group considering our risk context and input from executive

management. Through this assessment, the Board has determined that the principal risks facing the Group have not materially changed over

the year and that there are no new principal risks to be added. The set of principal risks should not be considered as an exhaustive list of all the

risks the Group faces. Certain risk factors are outside the control of management.

The Board recognises that the principal risks are dynamic and that management of these risks must be continuous as the risk environment

changes. The Board is satised that the principal risks are being managed appropriately and consistently with the target risk appetite.

Eectively managing these risks is directly linked to the performance of our strategic KPIs (see pages 22–23) and the delivery of the strategic

priorities outlined on pages 6–9. Our principal risks are set out below with examples of management actions that help to control the risk; the

actions described do not include all actions taken by management.

Severe but

areused to test

theviability of

theGroup

#### Going concern and longer-termviability

In accordance with theUK Corporate Governance

Code provisions 4.28–31 and other regulatory

disclosure requirements, Going concern and longer-

term viability assessments are provided.

Assessment of position andprospects

The Group’s current and forecast nancial positions

are used to assess the going concern position and

longer-term viability.

The position and prospects of the Group are assessed

at Executive Committee meetings and at the end of

the nancial year. The assessments consider strategic

and operational updates, principal and emerging risks,

nancial reporting and forecasting from the Chief

Financial Ocer, and through the development of a

business plan. Thebusiness plan takes into account

our current position, specic risks and uncertainties

facing the business and known changes to our

organisation and business model.

The Executive Committee assesses the future

strategic positioning of Hikma as a company in

thecontext of the changing macroeconomic and

healthcare environment. Aspects of this analysis

areshown in ‘Global context’ and ‘Key trends’

(seepages 18–19).

These various assessments are presented to the

AuditCommittee and Board of Directors for

independent scrutiny of management’s assumptions

and modelling approach. The Board also receives

regular updates on operational, strategic and nancial

matters from executives.

Financial position

The goingconcern and longer-term viability

assessments are based on the nancial position

(asat31 December 2021):

–

net cash ow from operating activities was

$638million

–

overall net debt was $420 million (0.6 times

coreEBITDA)

–

available borrowing capacity is $1,086 million of

committed undrawn long-term (see Note 28 of the

Group consolidated nancial statements on page

160). These facilities are well-diversied across the

subsidiaries of the Group and are with a number of

nancial institutions

Financial covenants are suspended while the Group

retains its investment grade status from two rating

agencies

1

. Nevertheless, the covenants are monitored

and the Group was in compliance on 31 December

2021 and expects to remain in compliance with those

covenants for the year ending in December 2022 even

in the severe but plausible downside scenarios. As of

31 December 2021 the Group’s investment grade rating

was armed by S&P and Fitch.

Future prospects

The Group’s base case forecasts take into account

reasonable possible changes in trading performance,

including those that may arise related to the COVID-19

pandemic, facility renewal sensitivities, and maturities

of long-term debt.

Assumptions

Financial modelling for the business plan and the

goingconcern and viability assessments is subject

toassumptions related to:

–

launch and commercialisation ofnew products

–

market share and product demand rates

–

maintenance of certain product prices

–

political and social stability

–

ability to renance existing debt on similar terms

–

ability to increase operational eciency and reduce

central costs

–

eective tax rate being within the current

guidancerange

#### Going concern

For the purposes of assessing the going concern

position the base case and a forecast including severe

but plausible downside risks were analysed over

the18-month period from the date of signing the

nancial statements.

The analysis shows that Hikma is well-placed to

manage its business and nancial risks successfully

despite current uncertainties and conrms that the

going concern basis should be used in preparing the

nancial statements.

STRATEGIC

REPORT

Our assessments

show that Hikma is

resilient to

downside risk

scenarios

#### Longer-term viability

Viability period

The longer-term viability of the Group is assessed for a

period longer than for the going concern analysis. The

longer-term viability assessment was conducted for a

period of three years, ending on 31 December 2024.

This is the timeframe for acquisitions and business

development opportunities tobecome integrated into

our business, and for pipeline products to contribute

as marketed products. Our forecasts are more

accurate in the near term than in the long term and this

limitation also applies to our viability assessments.

Stress testing, modelling andsensitivity analysis

Managementdeveloped severe but plausible

multi-event risk scenarios that could impact the

business adversely.

The Group’s strategic objectives, principal risks (PR),

assessments of longer-termemerging risks(ER),

management input, real-world examples and the

nancial modelling assumptions listed above

wereused to design the scenarios. Realistic but

extremelysevere adjustments were further applied

forsensitivity analysis.

The following hypothetical severe but plausible

multi-event risk scenarios were assessed.

Longer-term viability scenarios

–

Scenario1:

Industry dynamics (PR): Signicant

adverse changes to the pricing environment

including price erosion over and above business plan

assumptions were considered in addition to currency

devaluation eects for various MENA markets

–

Scenario 2:

Product pipeline (PR): Signicant

andextensive delays to strategic product launches

were assessed, in particular for complex and

specialty products

–

Scenario3:

Ethics and compliance (PR): The

implications of a systemic failure of the corporate

compliance programme leading to a regulator

investigation were explored, including reputational

impact, nes and legal fees, loss of sales, remediation

expenses, and additional compliance costs

–

Scenario4:

Product quality and safety (PR):

Aprolonged regulator-imposed restriction of a

majorUS FDA-inspected manufacturing plant was

modelled factoring in loss of sales, remediation

expenses, as well as reduction to operating costs

–

Scenario5:

Crisis response and business continuity

(PR): Escalation and development of situations of

political and social instability in MENA markets were

assessed with loss of sales recognised

–

Scenario6:

API and third-party risk management

(PR): Signicant disruptions to our raw and

packaging materials supply chain were modelled,

aswell as increased import taris and global

inationary pressures

–

Scenario7:

Climate change (ER): Disruption through

extreme weather events was assessed with storms

and ooding events impacting certain facilities

resulting in property damage and business

interruption (see also our disclosures related to

climate change on pages 50–52)

–

Scenario8:

Information and cyber security,

technology and infrastructure (PR): Cyber attacks

impacting endpoints and ERP systems were

modelled with potential loss of sales, general business

interruption, and response and remediation costs

Longer-term viability analysis

The consequences of each of these severe but

plausible multi-event risk scenarios were modelled

independently over the forecast period and the

impacts on EBITDA, ability to meet our debt

obligations, and cash ow were determined.

The assessment shows that although the scenarios

aresevere they do not threaten the viability of

Hikma.Headroom was comfortably maintained

throughout the viability period for each of the

multi-event risk scenarios.

The assessment and analysis did not rely on

management actions that could be taken in the

circumstances to reduce theimpact and

consequences of the risk events. Such actions, the

ongoing implementation of the ERM programme, and

investment in infrastructure and change initiatives are

anticipated to continue to enhance organisational

resilience and support longer-term viability.

The outcome of these various quantitative and

qualitative assessments leads management to believe

that Hikma is resilient to downside risk scenarios. This

is largely as a result of our nancial position (in

particular our strong balance sheet and low levels of

debt) and is supported by the fact that our business is

well-diversied through geographic spread, product

diversity, and large customer and supplier base.

review’ (pages 6–9), ‘Our markets’ (pages 18–19),

GOVERNANCE

#### Chair overview

#### Dear Shareholders

The past year has involved steady progress in the development of the

Board and the governance of our organisation, including undertaking

a full board evaluation process with an external expert. The process

ensured that the Board assessed and challenged its approach to ensure

we obtain the maximum value from our Board meetings. We have

made several enhancements as a result, and I am pleased to report

that our overall approach to governance continues to be eective.

Board practices

The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in further

development of our Board practices. Whilst the Board continues to

operate eectively in a virtual environment, we managed to bring the

members together for two meetings in the second half of the year. We

have found that in person meetings have signicant benets in terms of

social cohesion,innovation and development.At thesame time,virtual

meetings have signicant benets in terms of time eciency, availability

and focus. As we move forward, the Board will operate in a hybrid

environment bringing together the benets of both of these approaches.

Board and Committee composition

Over the last few years we have brought several new Directors onto

the Board, said goodbye to Independent Directors of longer tenure,

and transitioned the Chairs of the Audit Committee and Nomination

and Governance Committee. Accordingly, during 2021, we have not

made any changes to our Board.

Dr. Pamela Kirby, our chair of the Remuneration Committee, has

decided not to seek re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Iwould like to thank Pam for her dedicated and thoughtful leadership

of the Committee. Nina Henderson has kindly agreed to lead the

Committee going forward.

As we move into 2022, we will be looking to take steps to refresh the

Board and prepare for further succession. During this exercise, we will

be cognisant of our gender diversity target (see page 81 for further

details). As has been our practice for several years, we desire for new

Directors to have time to understand the culture, history, and

operations of Hikma before undertaking additional responsibilities.

Culture and strategy

The Board reviewed and approved management’s plans for several

strategic initiatives during the year, including the expansion of our

pipeline through investments in biosimilars and the acquisition of

Custopharm. We further approved management’s proposal to expand

the capacity of our specialist injectables business. In the second half

of 2021, we conducted our annual strategic review, in which we

conrmed our progress and assessed several new opportunities. At

the end of the year, following two years of oversight and development

Said Darwazah

Executive Chairman

by the Board, we launched our sterile injectable compounding

business in the US, which will bring the high-quality systems of a

major pharmaceutical manufacturer to theniche compounding

market. Overall, the Board is condent that the Group is well

positioned to continue to deliver on our pipeline and improve

patients’ access to high-quality, aordable medicines.

During 2020, following engagement with our colleagues and a thorough

review of our culture by the Board, we introduced a new set of corporate

values which focused on being caring, innovative, and collaborative.

These values build on my father’s vision of Hikma as a company with

high ethical standards, where our people thrive in a supportive

environment. The majority of the Board met and worked with my father,

and so have rst-hand experience of how he wanted to develop our

culture. In the Boardroom, we are reminded of our values regularly

and are guided by them when making decisions such as acquiring

Custopharm (being innovative), supporting our team in Lebanon during

the country’s challenging period (caring), and the nature of relations

between the Board and the Executive Committee (collaborative). During

2021, the Executive team undertook signicant eorts to promote these

values throughout the organisation. The team and the Chief Executive

Ocer presented to the Board updates on progress and feedback from

colleagues throughout the year. Further details are available on page 8.

#### Strong governance and strategy

ESG

Early in 2021, we determined that our Board of Directors would have

overarching oversight of our ESG strategy including environmental

aspects and TCFD strategy and reporting. This builds upon the work

of our board committees that have responsibility for certain elements

of our ESG work streams. The Chief Executive Ocer has

fundamentally reviewed and enhanced the Group’s ESG strategy with

a particular emphasis on the Group’s emissions and impact on the

environment. Further information is available in our new and

enhanced disclosures on pages 36 to 52.

Nina Henderson is our independent Boardmember who helps ensure

that employee perspectives are considered when undertaking Board

and Committee business and, outside of our Executive Directors,

ensuring that the Board is visible amongst our colleagues. The

engagement programme has been sponsored internally by the Chief

Executive Ocer and has been developed to ensure that we comply

with social distancing requirements.

This year’s activities included participation in:

–

a site visit to the Columbus facility and meetings with employees

–

the 2021 Global Leadership Conference which included c.160 of the

Group’sleaders

–

Chief Executive Ocer virtual briengs to all colleagues

Nina formally reports to the Board on her ndings at each

meetingaswe consider formal business, such as during the grading

structure review, employee engagement survey and during

remunerationconsiderations.

Stakeholders

The Board undertakes signicant eorts to understand and take

account of the needs and perspectives of our customers, suppliers,

employees, investors and the communities in which we operate.

Further details are available on pages 12 to 17. If there are any matters

that you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

Annual Report 2021

#### Structure

#### UK Governance Code

#### Code Compliance

The Board is committed to the standards of corporate governance set

out in the UK Corporate Governance Code (the UK Code) published

in July 2018 and the Markets Law of the Dubai Financial Services

Authority (the Markets Law). The report on pages 67 to 114 describes

how the Board has applied the Main Principles of the UK Code and

Markets Law throughout the year ended 31 December 2021. The UK

Code is available at www.frc.org.uk. The Board considers that this

AnnualReport provides the informationshareholders need to

evaluate how we have complied with our current obligations under

the UK Code and Markets Law.

The Board acknowledges that Said Darwazah holding the position of

Chairman and Chief Executive Ocer until February 2018 and, since

that point, Executive Chairman, requires explanation under the UK

Code. Throughout the year and up until the date of this report, Hikma

was in compliance with the UK Code other than in respect of the

Executive Chairman position, the degree of direct engagement with

the workforce regarding executive remuneration (which is discussed

in the Remuneration report on page 90), and the Chief Executive

Ocer’s pension contribution level being slightly less than 5% above

the general workforce (which is discussed in the Remuneration report

on page 90). The Board considers that the areas of non-compliance

are likely to continue for the medium-term. Should shareholders

require any further information relating to these matters, questions

may be directed to the Company Secretary.

#### Chair

Role

The Executive Chairman leads the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Executive Chairman guides, oversees, and engages with the

Chief Executive Ocer in setting and delivering the strategic vision

for the Company and optimising the Company’s long-term potential.

Rationale

The Board acknowledges that Said Darwazah’s position as Executive

Chairman, having previously served as Chief Executive Ocer, and

his tenure as a Director are departures from the UK Code.

The Executive Chairman role was created in February 2018, following

the appointment of Siggi Olafsson as Chief Executive Ocer.

Previously, Said Darwazah was the Chairman and Chief Executive

Ocer. The change of roles and appointment of a Chief Executive

Ocer has caused a reduction in Said’s executive responsibilities,

whilst still retaining his strategic input. The Board considers that the

transfer of responsibilities from Said to Siggi has been very successful

and that the Chief Executive Ocer has been fully empowered by the

Executive Chairman. The Board considers it is important to retain

corporate memory, important relationships and the family culture of

the organisation. Therefore, it is valuable to retain Said Darwazah’s

services in a strategic capacity.

The Board consulted shareholders prior to Said’s appointment as

Chairman and Chief Executive Ocer in May 2014 and following the

change to the position of Executive Chairman in February 2018. The

Independent Non-Executive Directors met as a group twice during

2021 to review the Board structure and concluded that the Executive

Chairman role should continue.

The Board is focused on the commercial success of Hikma and

believes that continuing the position of Executive Chairman for a

period of time is the best way to achieve success for Hikma, because:

–

Continuity of strategy:

Said Darwazah has been a driving force

behind the strategic success of the business since 2007 and the

Board believes that it is important for the continued success of the

Group that he remains in a strategic role

–

Executive Chairman’s role:

the Executive Chairman position is

highly visible inside and outside Hikma, acting as an ambassador

with business partners and adviser to the organisation

–

Business partners:

a signicant number of Hikma’s key political

and commercial relationships across the MENA region are built on

the long-term trust and respect for the Darwazah family where the

role of the Executive Chairman remains key

The Board continues to operate the following enhanced controls:

–

Governancestructure review:

the Independent Directors meet at

least bi-annually in a private session chaired by the Senior

Independent Director. This meeting includes considerationof the

appropriateness of the governance structure, the division of

responsibilities between the Executive Chairman and the Chief

Executive Ocer and safeguards for shareholders

–

Committee Chair roles:

the Chairs of the Board Committees and

the Director responsiblefor employee engagement, undertakea

signicant amount of work in the discharge of their responsibilities

–

Transparency and engagement:

Hikma has always had the highest

regard for shareholders, with several of the original investors from

before listing still investing and supporting Hikma today. Over the

c.16 years since otation Hikma has maintained the highest

standards of shareholder engagement, which reects the

importance placed in maintaining strong investor relations

andgovernance

–

Senior Independent Director role:

the Senior Independent

Director has joint responsibility, with the Executive Chairman, for

setting the Board agenda, agreeing action points and the minutes

of the meetings

GOVERNANCE

#### Executive

Chief Executive Ocer

The members of Hikma’s Executive Committee report to the

ChiefExecutive Ocer, who reports to the Executive Chairman.

TheChief Executive Ocer chairs the Executive Committee,

whichdevelops strategic initiatives and ensures the delivery of the

approved strategyand performance of the Company. The Chief

Executive Ocer makes strategic proposals and reports on

operational developments to theBoard.

Executive Vice Chairman

When required, the Executive Vice Chairman acts as alternate to

theExecutive Chairman and is an alternative point of contact and

sounding board for management and the Directors.

#### Non-Executive Directors

Independence

The Board reviewed and considered the independence of each

Non-Executive Director during the year as part of the annual

corporate governance review, which included consideration of

progressive refreshment of the Board. The Board considers Pat

Butler, Dr Pamela Kirby, John Castellani, Nina Henderson, Cynthia

Flowers and Douglas Hurt to be independent. These individuals

provide extensive experience of international pharmaceutical,

nancial, corporate governance and regulatory matters and were

notassociated with Hikma prior to joining the Board.

The Board does not view Ali Al-Husry as an Independent Director due

to the length of his association with Hikma, having held an executive

position with Hikma prior to listing and his involvement with Darhold

Limited, Hikma’s largest shareholder. However, he continues to bring

to the Board broad corporate nance experience, in-depth

awareness of the Group’s history, and a detailed knowledge of

theMENA region, which is an important and specialist part of the

Group’s business.

Senior Independent Director

The Senior IndependentDirector responsibilities include:

–

involvement in setting the Board agenda, action points and

theminutes

–

leading the Board in matters of Board composition, eectiveness

and evaluation, particularly in relation to the performance of the

Executive Chairman

–

providing a communication channel between the Executive

Chairman and IndependentDirectors

–

leading the Independent Directors on their assessment of

theappropriateness of the governance structure and safeguards

for shareholders

–

acting as an alternate point of contact for shareholders

andmaintaining contact with principal investors and

representativebodies

Employee engagement

This Director-level role is responsible for ensuring, where appropriate,

that employee perspectives are taken into account in the Board’s

decision-making processes.

Nina Henderson hasundertaken the employee engagement role

since January 2019 and further details on her activities during 2021

are included in the Chair’s statement on page 67.

Company Secretary

The Company Secretary reports to the Executive Chairman and

supports each Board member in the delivery of their duties and

specic responsibilities.

The role proles are reviewed regularly and detailed on the Hikma

website at www.hikma.com/investors/corporate-governance/

board-roles-and-responsibilities/

#### Applied Governance

The Board has a well developed and broad system of governance

which includes detailed procedures that are set out in the Board

Governance Manual, extensive Group Policies and a secure

communications system. The Board has clearly established

responsibilities in the matters reserved which ensures a regular cycle

of work and that management are clear when additional oversight and

approval is required.

The Executive Chairman works with the Chief Executive Ocer

andthe Senior Independent Director to develop the priorities and

agenda for the Board and its Committees, to agree action points

andminutes arising from meetings, and formulate appropriate

responses to governance matters such as succession, eectiveness

and regulatory developments.

As the Chairman is active in the strategic leadership of the business,

Hikma maintains a balance of independence through placing a

greater emphasis on the role of the Senior Independent Director

(SID). The SID is actively involved in the agenda setting process

working together with the Chief Executive Ocer and consulting with

the Executive Chairman. The SID takes responsibility for working with

the Company Secretary on matters around Board process and

non-executive succession. Additionally, the SID works with the

Executive Chairman to review and agree the action points and

minutes arising from meetings, to ensure that meetings maintain

focus on independent oversight, and toformulate appropriate

responses to governance matters such as Board information,

eectiveness and the Board’s response to regulatory developments.

The Chief Executive Ocer works with the Executive Chairman in

matters such as strategy, addressing points raised by the Board and

its Committees, developing plans for executive succession, and the

Company’s culture. The Chief Executive Ocer engages with other

Directors as required in the delivery of his role. The Chief Executive

Ocer facilitates and guides the Board’s discussions on matters

relating to business development, capital expenditure, operational

performance,and organisational development.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

Annual Report 2021

The Board holds approximately nine scheduled meetings a year and

also meets as required. The Board agenda comprises matters from

the regular cycle of work (eg Annual Report, budgeting, results

announcements and dividend), ad hoc matters arising from action

points, the implementation ofstrategy (egbusiness development

andacquisitions) and regulatory, risk, and operational developments.

The Executive Chairman, Senior Independent Director and Chief

Executive Ocer work together to agree the agenda for meetings,

theaction points arising, and in leading Board meetings on

dierenttopics.

In the light of the suggestions contained in the 2021 report on the

Board’s eectiveness, during the year the Board introduced some

changes to the way Board meetings work. Board meetings are now

typically divided into three parts:

–

The rst part of the meeting is conducted without management

present. The Executive Chairman provides an overview of the

meeting business to be considered by the Board. The Chief

Executive Ocer outlines matters of importance in terms of the

operational developments of the Group and the meeting business.

The Executive Chairman and Senior Independent Director lead

discussions regarding governance matters

–

For the second part of the meeting, the Executive Committee

members join to present subject areas for which they are

responsible, to ensure wider awareness of matters of importance

tothe Group and to assist with their personal development and

succession planning

–

The nal part of the meeting occurs without management, it

provides the Board’s Committees and Director responsible for

employee engagement withan opportunity to report on their work

and for Directors to privately discuss and consider matters arising

from the second part of the meeting

The Company Secretary attends for the entirety of Board and

Committee meetings to ensure that records are retained and advice

is provided as required. The Company Secretary does not attend

meetings of the Independent Directors or meetings between the

Executive Chairman and the Independent Directors, which occur at

least twice a year.

The Board receives regular reports at each meeting on cultural

matters both from the Director responsible foremployee engagement

and the Chief Executive Ocer. The Chief Executive Ocer reports

the results of the employee opinion survey on a bi-annual basis.

Further information on the Group’s activities that relate to culture is

available on page 8.

#### Commitment and interests

The Nomination and Governance Committee considers the

commitment of all Directors both in terms of dedication to the role

and their time availability. In order to ensure an appropriate balance

of skills and diversity across the Boardroom, the Committee has

made accommodations to the Board calendar to maximise availability

and has acknowledged that there are times when this may mean that

full attendance may not be achieved. The Committee considers that

Hikma gains more from high-quality Directors than it loses from

occasional situations where full attendance cannot be achieved.

Having reviewed commitment and attendance during the year, the

Committee has concluded that all Directors are fully dedicated,

commit an appropriate amount of time to their roles, and are readily

available at short notice.

The Committee monitors the external appointments of Directors from

both an availability and conict of interest perspective, while noting

that experiences with other organisations can enhance a Director’s

ability to perform the role. Directors must obtain prior approval before

accepting additional external appointments. The Board and

Nominations and Governance Committee consider that the Directors’

external commitments do not negatively impact their ability to

perform their roles and that any signicant appointments have been

explained in the Annual Report. The outside interests of Directors are

detailed on pages 70 to 71.

#### Committees

The Board has appointed four Board Committees to assist with the

delivery of the Board’s responsibilities. The reports of those

Committees are available on pages 78 to 110. The Chair of each

Committee engages with stakeholders as is necessary in the conduct

of the Committee’s business. The Chairs are available to answer

shareholders’ questions at the AGM and by direct correspondence

through the Company Secretary (cosec@hikma.com).

Patrick Butler

Chair, Nomination and Governance Committee

and Senior Independent Director

#### Nomination and Governance Committee

#### Letter from the Chair

#### Dear Shareholders

I am writing to you in my roles as the Senior Independent Director and

Chair of the Nomination and Governance Committee (NGC). In these

roles, I help steer the development of the Group’s governance and

succession arrangements.

Succession

The Committee oversees succession for both executives and

Independent Directors. In terms of executives, the Committee

isresponsible for the Executive Directors and for ensuring that

appropriate arrangements are in place for senior positions below

Board level.

Executive

During 2021, the Board reviewed and updated the succession plan

and talent development framework that seeks to ensure that we have

arrangements to manage executive succession. The medium-term

plans have been discussed and developed taking into account views

from a wide range of stakeholders within Hikma. These plans were

presented to and discussed by the whole Board.

In terms of succession for Executive Directors, the Committee has

considered the potential for medium-term change, taking into

account the assessment of internal talent, and has the necessary

relationships with executive recruitment specialists. As a result, the

Committee considers it is well positioned.

Independent

During 2019 and 2020 we welcomed two new directors and in late

2020 we transitioned the Senior Independent Director role and chairs

of the Audit Committee and NGC. These changes have allowed us to

use 2021 to develop a new plan for the succession of Independent

Directors over the medium term. Dr Pamela Kirby is standing down at

the Annual General Meeting and I will reach nine years’ service in

2023. Accordingly, we will be looking to nd candidates to increase

the level of independent representation on the Board during the

course of 2022. During this process, the NGC will be mindful of the

Board’s commitment to have at least 33% Directors identifying as

women. The NGC will also review the additional commitments of

Directors in terms of Committee Chairs and other responsibilities with

a view to ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities. The Board

considers it is important for those undertaking these additional

responsibilities to have sucient time to build experience of Hikma

and relationships with relevant colleagues in advance.

In terms of succession for the chairing of Board Committees, I am

pleased to report that Nina Henderson has kindly agreed to continue

Pam’s thoughtful leadership of the Remuneration Committee.

Balance

During the year, the NGC reviewed the composition of the Board.

Thisreview included consideration of the skills and attributes of

eachmember, the balance between constructive challenge and

empowerment of the executive, the results of the recent Board

evaluation exercise and the current and desired level of diversity

inthe Boardroom (see page 69 and 81). I am pleased to report that

theNGC conrms that the Board continues to operate eectively

andthat each member is valued for the experience and skills that

they bring.

Skills and experience

The NGC continues to believe that a longer induction period is

desirable for newIndependent Directors toallow forbuilding

understanding of the business and, where succession for a

Committee Chair is taking place, the transfer of knowledge and

relationships associated with the particular committee. Additionally,

the Board believes it is important for all Directors to have signicant

international experience at an executive level, a challenging yet

consensual style, and the highest level of integrity. The Committee

regularly considers whether there may be gaps in fullling the specic

and in-depth experience that the Board requires as a whole, which

focuses on the following areas:

–

strategy, culture and leadership

–

business environment in both the US and the MENA region

–

pharmaceutical manufacturingand distribution

–

development of new healthcare capabilities

–

listing regulations, investor perceptions and governance

Hikma supports Directors in their continued professional

development. As the Directors are highly experienced, their

trainingneeds tend to be related to either ensuring awareness

ofchanges in the business, political and regulatory environments,

orbespoke training on particular areas for development. Therefore,

Hikma nancially supports specic training requests and ensures

thatDirectors are briefed by internal and external advisers on a

regular basis.

During the year, the Board received briengs on matters such as

thepharmaceutical competitive environment, the development

ofbiosimilars, healthcare business development activity, crisis

management, investor perceptions, business intelligence, capital

markets and listing related developments.

Tenure

The Committee’s policy on tenure is that the Independent Non-

Executive Directors are normally expected to serve for a period

ofnine years or, if required to facilitate an orderly transfer of

responsibilities, the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the

Company following the ninth anniversary of their appointment. Their

appointments are formally reviewed aer three years and at six years

a more rigorous review process is undertaken.

Other than Dr Pamela Kirby, each member of the Board will stand for

election or re-election at the 2022 AGM. The position of each Director

was closely reviewed during the year as part of the consideration of

succession arrangements, independence issues, the bi-annual

governance structure reviews, the Board and Committee evaluation

processes and the ongoing dialogue between the Executive

Chairman and the Senior Independent Director.

Time commitment

The NGC continues to review the external commitments of each

Director with a view to ensuring that the benets of the additional

experience from their external commitments are not outweighed

byreductions in the commitment to the Company. The Directors

achieve excellent attendance and spend signicant time delivering

their responsibilities. Accordingly, the NGC considers that there is

currently an appropriate balance. The Committee will continue to

monitor the situation.

GOVERNANCE

Diversity

The Board approved Hikma’s diversity policy, which applies to the

whole Group, including the Board. Hikma’s objective is to continue

toensure that it has an inclusive workplace that welcomes dierent

cultures, perspectives, and experiences from across the globe.

Hikmais committed to employing andengaging talented people,

irrespective of their race, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation,

marital status, national origin, present or past history of mental or

physical disability and any other factors not related to a person’s

ability to perform the relevant role.

Hikma’s inclusive workplace welcomes

dierentcultures, perspectives, and

experiences from across the globe

One of the three pillars of the Group’s strategy is to ‘inspire and

enable our people’. The Group’s policy and approach to diversity,

succession and appointments are a core part of this pillar. The Board

monitors the diversity metrics which are detailed on page 69 and uses

these as a reference point when considering the level of achievement

against its diversity objective (detailed above). Hikma has successful

empowerment andtalent development programmes tohelp all

employees make the most of their potential, for more information

please see pages 8 and 13. This diversity policy is included in our

Code of Conduct and communicated to all employees. Further detail

on employee diversity is provided on page 69.

The Group’s talent acquisition policies for the three most senior sta

grades require a balanced list of candidates that ensures diversity.

Ethnicity

The Board considers that it has demonstrated strong ethnic diversity

since the formation of Hikma and has three Directors identifying as

Minority Ethnic representing 30% of the Board, including the

Executive Chairman. Accordingly, the Board has achieved and

wholeheartedly supports and adopts the Parker recommendation

tohave at least one Director identifying as minority ethnic.

Gender

Since its founding, Hikma has actively promoted gender diversity

across its operations. The NGC was pleased to be able to improve

gender diversity in the Boardroom over the past few years. The Board

has adopted the Hampton-Alexander target to achieve at least 33%

of Board members identifying as women. The processes to enhance

the level of independent representation on the Board during the

course of 2022 will take into account the desire to achieve this target.

Governance review

As in previous years, the NGC undertook the annual review of the

Group’s governance arrangements in conjunction with the Company

Secretary. This year the exercise included a thorough review of the

structure of the Board, Board Governance Manual, and compliance

with the UK Governance Code and supporting governance guidance.

Evaluation and performance

During 2021, we undertook a full, externally moderated interview

andobservations-based Board evaluation with Independent Audit

Limited (IAL). IAL were appointed following a competitive tender

process during 2020. Our previous provider of board evaluation

services had worked with us for circa nine years and the Board

considered it was an appropriate point to refresh our approach. IAL

do not perform any other consultancy services for the Group.

As part of the refreshment of our approach to Board evaluation, we

have adopted the ‘Principles of Good Practice for listed companies

using external Board reviewers’ which were published by the

Corporate Governance Institute in January 2021. We conrm that IAL

have adopted the ‘Code of Practice for Board reviewers’ and that we

have agreed with IAL the description of the Board evaluation process

detailed on this page and the disclosures which reect opinions

attributed to IAL. IAL started working with the Board in 2021 and have

not provided any other services to Hikma prior to this. In discharging

their duties, several Independent Directors have engaged with IAL as

part of the evaluation work undertaken by other companies and

organisations where they have a governance role.

Process

The most recent evaluation process was coordinated by the Senior

Independent Director at the request of the Executive Chairman.

IALobserved the conduct of one meeting of the Board and each

Committee and conducted a private interview with each Director,

theCompany Secretary, and selected members of management.

Based on the observations and feedback. IAL produced a report

which they discussed with the Senior Independent Director and

Company Secretary and, subsequently, with the Executive Chairman.

As a result of these meetings, the Senior Independent Director and

Company Secretary prepared a note for the Board which detailed

aproposed response to the points raised. IAL provided their

feedback on the response note. IAL’s full report and the response

note were subsequently reviewed by the full Board in a meeting

withonly Board members, IAL’s representative, and the Company

Secretary present. Further to that meeting, the responses to the

points raised (see the table on this page) were rened and agreed

atasubsequent Board meeting.

The results of the 2021 evaluation process formed part of the

Executive Chairman’s appraisal of the overall eectiveness of the

Board and its members and the assessment of the Executive

Chairman’s performance by the other members of the Board.

Additionally, during the period between assessments, the Directors

suggest and promote improvements as they arise.

Results

Our response to the issues raised in the 2021 Board evaluation

reportare:

Facilitating

discussion

IAL noted that

there may be

opportunities for

more extensive

Board discussion

by making

adjustments to

the way in which

information is

shared and

meetings are

structured.

The Board adopted IAL’s recommendation

that there should be more opportunity for

discussions without management present.

Additionally, the Board restructured its

meetings into three parts and requested that

Executive Committee members attend the

information sharing part of the new meeting

structure (which is detailed on pages 75 and

76). This ensures that executives are aware of

the key issues that may aect their Group-

level responsibilities and the Board believes

this makes for a fuller and more informed

discussion and strengthens the relationship

between Directors and management.

The Board adopted IAL’s recommendations

that board time without management should

be adjusted so that they chiey take place at

the beginning and the end of the meeting.

The Board considered that the Chief Executive

Ocer’s highly informative brieng did not

require a written submission as to do so could

reduce the free owing and informative nature

of the report and, nevertheless, any important

matters were documented in the minutes.

Positioning and

summarising

IAL observed

some meeting

items being

positioned and

summarised by

the presenters

The Board reviewed the positioning of meeting

business and concluded that theExecutive

Chairman should lead the rst part of the

meeting where the key discussions are held

onmatters related to governance, major

strategic initiatives, and nance. The Board

considers the Chairman’s leadership in the

rst part of the meeting ensures that

discussions are appropriately framed and

directors have an opportunity to discuss

aspects without management.

Presentation and

purpose

IAL observed that

improvements

could be made to

the positioning of

papers, dening

their purpose

andsetting out

the issues that

the Board may

choose to focus

on in its

discussions.

Furthermore, this

would give an

opportunity to

reduce the length

presentations

The Board has adapted its agenda to make

clear whether items require approval, input or

are for information only. This has ensured that

less meeting time is spent on matters that are

for information only and the material is

available in advance. The Board considers that

management’s highly informative and

comprehensive papers and presentations

signicantly add to the processes for making

decisions and developingideas and, therefore,

has not signicantly altered the processes

related to presenting and positioning matters

for approval or input. All presentations include

an appropriate opportunity for questioning.

Governance

disclosure

IAL observed that

the governance

disclosure in the

AnnualReport

could more fully

explain the

conduct of Board

roles of relevant

parties

The Board has reviewed its governance

disclosure and enhanced the description of

the roles of the Chairman, Chief Executive

Ocer, and SeniorIndependent Director and

the explanation of the way in which meetings

are conducted through the ‘Applied

Governance’ section on pages 75 and 76.

During the year, I met separately with the Independent Directors, the

Chairman and the Chief Executive Ocer in order to undertake an

assessment of the performance of the Board. We concluded that the

Board continues to operate eectively and that a signicant number

of enhancements have been made over the recent period, particularly

since the Chief Executive Ocer joined in February 2018. The next

Board evaluation exercise will be undertaken during 2022 and

reported in the following Annual Report.

The evaluation process has helped us

recognise strengths and make further

enhancements

Conclusions and actions

In relation to the most recent assessment exercise, the Board has

reviewed its approach and made modications where it believes that

additional value can be obtained and has enhanced the disclosure of

its governance arrangements (see pages 75 and 76 for further details).

Additionally, the Board considered that it continued to operate

eectively with particular strengths in the following areas:

–

Executive Chairman’s appraisal

The Executive Chairman and I meet regularly to discuss matters

including the performance of the Board and how his role helps deliver

and enhance that performance. This builds on discussions that I hold

with the Independent Directors which occur bi-annually and

commentary received through the board evaluation process. The

Executive Chairman’s performance is also reviewed by the

Remuneration Committee as part of the determination of

performance-based compensation.

Director appraisal

The Executive Chairman, having taken into account the comments

from the Board evaluation and discussions with the Senior

Independent Director and Chief Executive Ocer, reviewed the

performance of each of the Directors during the year and concluded

that each Director contributes eectively to the Board, brings

particular areas of skill and experience that ensure the Board as a

whole has the right capabilities, and devotes sucient time to their

role. The NGC has concluded that the relevant Directors be

recommended to shareholders for re-election at the 2022 AGM.

Chair, Audit Committee

#### Audit Committee

#### Letter from the Chair

#### Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to report that the Committee has had another year

ofsolid progress in its oversight of the matters delegated to it by

theBoard.

During the year, the Committee continued to play a key role in

assisting the Board in its oversight of nancial reporting, forecasting

and auditing matters. The Committee’s activities included reviewing

and monitoring the integrity of the Group’s nancial information, the

Group’s systems of internal controls and risk management, and the

internal and external audit process.

#### Ensuring resilience and clear reporting

Pandemic impacts

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to create challenging conditions

in 2021, which required a high level of adaptability and resilience from

our nancial reporting and external audit teams. The Committee is

pleased to report that all the relevant processes under its oversight

have continued to operate in an eective manner during the

pandemic. We recognise that we owe a lot to the commitment of our

colleagues and their strong relationships with internal and external

auditorsand advisers.

In terms of the impacts of the pandemic on our nancial performance,

we have continued to experience changes to the mix of products

required by hospitals and patients. The Group has performed well

throughout the pandemic and at the end of the nancial year had

undrawn committed nancing facilities in excess of $1,000 million.

Theviability statement and going concern assumptions have been

critically reviewed and the Group is in a strong nancial position.

Verication

During the year, management reviewed the mechanisms to enhance

the assurance process related to the qualitative disclosures in the

Annual Report (beyond the audit, adviser review and internal review

processes). As a result, the qualitative disclosures have been

reviewed by our internal teams who are responsible for each section

of the Annual Report and who have provided additional verication

and support material in respect of each material statement of fact.

This enhancement assisted the Committee in its determination

thatthe report and accounts taken as a whole are fair, balanced

andunderstandable.

Distributable reserves

The Committee is aware that the FRC is encouraging organisations to

provide greater clarity on their distributable reserves position. During

the year, management re-assessed the Group’s distributable reserves

in line with FRC guidance. The Committee has reviewed and

approved the distributable reserves disclosure in the nancial

statements (see page 181 for further details).

The Committee has also reviewed a proposal by management to

convert the Group’s merger reserve (which was created when the

business listed in 2005 and as a result of the acquisition of the

Columbus facility in 2016) into further distributable reserves. This

merger reserve reduction process has been undertaken by several

other listed companies. It is an ordinary course legal procedure

undertaken with guidance from our legal advisers and subject to

shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting and the

approval of the Court. It should result in the Company’s distributable

reserves increasing signicantly in excess of the current dividend

requirements, thereby creating greater exibility for the future.

Shareholders will nd further details of the merger reserve reduction

in the AGM notice on pages 6 to 7.

Internal audit

The internal audit of Hikma is performed by Ernst & Young (EY), who

report directly to the Chair of the Committee. There is a regular

programme of interaction between EY and the Committee.

EY assess each facility and the Group’s major processes over a

three-year period. For major sites, assessments are more frequent.

Management is required to respond to ndings within a short time

period, complete all process improvements within two years and

ensure at least 80% of high-risk ndings are resolved within six

months. The Committee has received reports on the ndings of the

programme and is pleased to report that management has

responded appropriately to any new ndings and has made good

progress in delivering its plans for enhancements that have previously

been identied.

During the year, the Committee monitored progress with the internal

audit programme for 2021 and reviewed and approved the plan for

2022. EY and management work closely together to deliver the

internal audit plan, develop action plans for points raised, and ensure

that the Committee receives appropriate and timely information. The

Committee is pleased with the progress and commitment of

management and the internal auditors.

During the year, the Committee continued to monitor the performance

and independenceof the internal auditors in accordance with the

policies that have been established. The Committee concluded that

EY continue to perform an eective internal audit programme and

remainindependent. The Committee considers that EY bring

signicant pharmaceutical and MENA market experience which

iscomplemented by the experience of other third-party experts

where required.

External audit

The external audit was undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

(PwC) and has been since their appointment in May 2016. PwC were

appointed following a competitive tender process. Mr Darryl Phillips

was appointed as a key audit partner in 2017 before subsequently

becoming the senior statutory auditor in May 2019. MrPhillips has

served the maximum time allowed on the audit of Hikma and will

hand over his responsibilities to Mr Nigel Comello. Mr Comello is a

partner in the audit practice of PwC who was selected following

internal assessments by PwC. Following a brieng by PwC regarding

the selection process, the Committee reviewed and approved the

appointment. The Committee welcomes Mr Comello to the role and

thanks Mr Phillips for his dedicated service.

Eectiveness

During the year, the Committee reviewed the work of PwC and

concluded that they provide an eective audit, have constructive

relationships with the relevant parties and that Mr Phillips provided

clear and constructive leadership to the audit team. As part of this

review the Committee examined the following areas:

–

Audit quality and technical capabilities:

the Committee considered

that the auditors undertook an eective and in-depth assessment

and verication exercise in respect of the nancial statements and

associated disclosures for the year ended 31 December 2021 and

that the level of expertise PwC brought to bear was high. The

Committee provides feedback on the auditor’s performance as part

of the regular meetings with them without management present,

takes into account the reports and analysis ofthe Financial

Reporting Council, and believes that there is an open and

appropriately challenging relationship between the audit leadership

team, the Audit Committee and management

–

Independence:

the Committee regularly reviews the independence

safeguards of the auditors and remains satised that auditor

independence has not been compromised. The Committee’s

policyon the provision of non-audit services is that all such

proposed services require the approval of the Committee in

advance of an instruction. The Committee is satised that the

auditors are independent

–

Challenge and judgement:

the Committee considers that PwC

provide signicant challenge to the management team which results

in the Company’s position being fully considered and supported

and, where appropriate, further strengthened. The Committee

believes that PwC has demonstrated well considered and clear-

sighted judgement in the matters on which it has provided opinion

and has been open to an appropriate level of challenge and debate

–

Non-audit fees:

the Committee’s policy is that the external auditors

should not undertake any work outside the scope of their annual

audit and the review of the interim nancial statements. The

Committee has discretion to grant exceptions to this policy where it

considers that exceptional circumstances exist and that

independence can be maintained, whilst having due regard to the

FRC’s ethical standards for auditors. The Committee’s approval

isrequired to instruct PwC to perform non-audit services. PwC

provided assurance services related to the interim review and other

audit related assurance work with a value of $200,000 (2020:

$210,000). In 2020, PwC provided services related to the bond

oering totalling $208,000, but no such services were provided in

2021. These services are within the ordinary course of services

provided by the auditor

The Committee conrms that the statutory audit services for the

nancial year under review were conducted in compliance with the

Competition and Markets Authority Order, and a competitive audit

tender process was undertaken in 2015.

Audit tendering

PwC were appointed as auditors in May 2016, therefore, the current

Annual Report is the sixth report that they have audited. PwC rotated

the Senior Statutory Auditor in 2019 and, as noted earlier on this page,

a further rotation will occur in 2022. This follows the Chair of the Audit

Committee being transferred to Douglas Hurt in December 2020. The

Committee considers it is prudent to allow time for one signicant

change to become embedded before embarking on another. In

accordance with the audit tendering guidelines, the Committee

conrms that it is not expecting to undertake a tender exercise until

2025. The Committee will keep the situation under review and report

to shareholders accordingly.

Position and prospects

During the year, management undertook an annual review of its

strategic direction and an extensive assessment of the Group’s

short-term and medium-term prospects which are included in the

budget for the following year and the ve-year business plan,

respectively. Management presented and received the Board’s

approval and commentary on the full strategy, budget and business

plan. Having taken account of how the business has responded to the

challenges of the commercial environment, the business plan,

principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group and other relevant

information, the Committee has concluded that the Group continues

to have attractive prospects for the future.

Going concern and longer-term viability

The Group has a selection of scenarios with severe but plausible

downside assumptions based upon the Group’s principal risks and

uncertainties. Each year, management models the impact of these

scenarios occurring as part of the going concern and viability analysis.

In respect of the most recent assessment, the scenarios took into

account the Group’s principal risks, management’s view on current

signicant risks, and longer-term emerging risks which are detailed in

the viability disclosure on page 63.

The Committee reviewed the outcomes from the scenario analysis

and concluded that the Group could reasonably respond to the

challenges and ensure the continued survival of the business. The

impact of a scenario (involving several risk events) has consistently

been manageable for the Group, while acknowledging that it may

result in a short-term set back. The Directors considered the going

concern position as detailed on page 62. Having reviewed and

challenged the downside assumptions, forecasts and mitigation

strategy of management, the Directors believe that the Group is

adequately placed to manage its business and nancing risks

successfully. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the

Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence

for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the nancial

statements. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going

concern basis in preparing the nancial statements.

The Directors, having considered the longer-term viability

assessment as detailed on page 63, conrm that they have

areasonable expectation that Hikma will be able to continue

inoperation and meet its liabilities as they fall due and over the

viability period which ends on 31 December 2024. See page 63

forfurther details.

Signicant matters

As part of its work reviewing the nancial performance of the Group

and the report of the auditors, the Audit Committee considered and

discussed the following important nancial matters:

![]()

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

Annual Report 2021

GOVERNANCE

–

Goodwill and intangible assets – valuations and disclosures:

As

inprevious years, management undertook the impairment test

exercise in respect of each of the four Cash Generating Units (CGU)

and the Group’s other intangible assets. In respect of the Branded,

Injectables and Generics business divisions that constitute three of

the CGUs, no new impairment indicators were identied and,

therefore, management concluded that the existing headroom

continued to be sucient. In respect of the Generic Advair Diskus®

CGU, management had recommended an impairment reversal of

$46 million at the half year review and subsequently instructed an

external party to assess the fair value of the CGU less the cost of

sale. Following this valuation, management concluded that no

further adjustment was required. The review of product related

intangibles resulted in an impairment charge of $23 million and an

impairment reversal of $14 million. The Committee reviewed

management’s approachand recommendations and concluded

that the proposals were appropriate.

–

Revenue recognition:

The Committee reviewed the Group’s policies

for revenue recognition and the application of those policies by

management. The Committee reviewed the model applied by

management to arrive at the chargebacks, which estimates the

‘in-channel’ inventories held by wholesalers and the chargeback

rate being the dierence between the contracted price with indirect

customers and the wholesaler’s invoice price. Similar reviews were

undertaken of thedeductions to revenue made forcustomer

rebates, returns and indirect non-customer and government

rebates. The Committee also agreed the disclosures around these

year-end estimates and the sensitivity of the estimates to changes

in assumptions.

–

Taxation:

Hikma’s worldwide operations are highlyintegrated and

involve a number of cross-border supply chains, which results in

judgement being required to estimate the potential tax liabilities

indierent jurisdictions. During the year, the Committee and Board

received presentations from the Head of Tax regarding the potential

direction of tax planning activities and enhancements to the

resources available to the department, the control environment

foroperational eectiveness and reporting. The Committee took

advice from professional services rms and management in

assessing the reasonableness of the Group’s provisions for

uncertain tax positions which amounted to $44 million and in

reviewing the deferred tax assets in key markets which amounted

to$183 million. The Committee reviewed the appropriateness of the

disclosures in the Annual Report, and reviewed and approved

theGroup’s tax strategy statement, which is available on the

Company’s website

–

Contingent Liability:

Following receipt of a notication from HMRC

in the UK conrming that the Company is not a beneciary of state

aid, the Group no longer holds a contingent liability relating to

associated UK and EU litigation. The Committee reviewed and

concurred withthe conclusion

–

Hyperinationary economies:

The Group operates in Lebanon and

Sudan which have experienced ination in excess of 100% over a

three-year period and, therefore, are considered to be

hyperinationary economies in accordance with IAS 29. In

accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards

the nancial statements for the relevant entities have been restated

to reect the current purchasing power using the ocial exchange

rate of those economies resulting in a reduction to the Group’s net

income of circa $10 million and an increase in the Group’s revenue

of circa $43 million. The Committee reviewed and approved

management’s approach to ascertaining the nancial impact of this

event in accordance withthe accounting standard

–

Cloud based soware:

In response to the IFRIC April 2021 agenda

decisions regarding cloudcomputing arrangement customisation

and congurationcosts treatment. Management undertook an

assessment of the Group’s soware-related intangible assets and

concluded that circa $13 million of assets should be expensed as a

cost instead of being capitalised. The Committee concurred that

the amount was not material to the prior year results and that it

should be treated as an exceptional item in the current year

#### Understanding the key judgemental

#### matters

Fair, balanced and understandable

Hikma is committed to clear and transparent disclosure and seeks

tocontinuously improve the clarity of its reporting. At the request of

the Board, the Audit Committee considers whether Hikma’s Annual

Report is fair, balanced and understandable and that the narrative

section of the report is consistent with the nancial information.

TheCommittee’s assessment is underpinned by a report from the

Reporting Committee, which comprises representatives from nance,

investor relations, risk, communications and governance, following

their comprehensive review of the Annual Report. The Reporting

Committee’s work is supported by divisional and functional heads,

asrequired. The Reporting Committee’s activities include:

–

initiating the review process for the Annual Report signicantly

before the year-end, considering external developments, issuing

guidance to contributors and identifying areas for improvement

–

obtaining input from external advisers, including the auditors,

designers, corporate brokers and public relationsadvisers

–

undertaking several multi-functional reviews of the disclosures as

awhole prior to the publication of the Annual Report to ensure

consistency andaccuracy across the document as a whole

–

overseeing an extensive verication process to ensure the accuracy

of disclosures

Each member of the Audit Committee and the Reporting Committee

is satised that the 2021 Annual Report is fair, balanced and

understandable and hasrecommended the adoption of the Report

and Accounts to the Board.

Reporting controls

Hikma’s key controls and risk management systems relating to

thenancial reporting process include the enterprise resource

planning system, the external audit at subsidiary and Group levels,

the processes in the ‘Fair, balanced and understandable’ and

‘Verication’ sections described earlier in this letter, the review

ofthenancial statements and disclosures that is undertaken by

theExecutive Committee, and detailed internal nancial control

processes necessitating the verication of nancial records at

alocal,regional and Group level.

#### Managing risk and uncertainty

Risk management and internal control

Risk management

The Committee has continued to receive reports on the operation of

the Group’s enterprise risk management framework which includes

the material controls and programme for enhancing the Group’s

mitigation eorts. As in previous years, management and the Board

have undertaken a thorough assessment of the Group’s emerging

risks as well as the annual review of the principal risks. The Committee

and the Board have considered the principal risks facing the Group

and we have decided that no adjustments were required in the year

under review. The Board and management have also reviewed the

appetite for those principal risks and have concluded that it remains

appropriate. Aer a review of those risks that present a greater

potential risk in the near term, the Board received additional

information on the Group’s data security initiatives. Further

#### Audit Committee

#### Letter from the Chair continued

information regarding the Group’s risk management activities

isavailable in the Risk management section on pages 54 to 63.

Internal control

The Board conrms that it is ultimately responsible for ensuring that

Hikma’s systems of internal controls and risk management remain

eective. The key elements of our internal control framework are

asfollows:

–

a documented and disseminated reporting structure with clear

policies, procedures, authorisation limits, segregation of duties and

delegated authorities

–

written policies and procedures for material functional areas with

specic responsibility allocated to individual managers

–

a comprehensive system of internal nancial reporting that includes

regular comparison of results against budget and forecast and a

review of KPIs, each informed by management commentary

–

an established process for reviewing the nancial performance and

providing support to Hikma companies and associates together

with direct support from Hikma’s nance function

–

annual budgets, updated forecasts and medium-term business

plans for Hikma that identify risks and opportunities and that are

reviewed and, where appropriate, approved by the Board

–

a dened process for controlling capital expenditure which is

detailed in the governance framework

The Board is satised that Hikma’s systems for internal control accord

with the FRC’s guidance, and have been in place throughout the year

under review and up to the date of approval of the Annual Report and

Accounts. The Board reviews the eectiveness of these systems at

least annually as part of the processes for the Annual Report and risk

management. The Board has not identied any material weaknesses.

In making this assessment, the Board takes into account:

–

Riskmanagement:

the enterprise risk management framework that

provides a structure for risk management activities to occur at all

levels of the organisation, including management of the principal

risks and uncertainties (detailed on pages 59 to 61). Risk reporting

processes ensure the Executive Committee and the Board are

engaged in the design and implementation of new control initiatives

and provide oversight of existing programmes

–

Internal audit:

the Committee receives regular reports from the

internal auditors and other third-party experts who review relevant

parts of the Group business operations, assess Hikma’s processes,

identify areas for improvement, monitor progress, and undertake

their own assessment of the risks facing Hikma

–

Financial performance:

Hikma’s nancial performance and

forecasting reports are reviewed by the Board to aid the

understanding of the underlying performance of the business,

deviations from expectations and management’s operational

challenges and responses

–

Ethics:

the business integrity and ethics procedures and controls

that are led by the Compliance, Responsibility and Ethics

Committee (CREC). To ensure consistency and awareness between

these Committees’ responsibilities, the Audit Committee Chair is a

standing member of the CREC

–

Governance:

the Board and Group-level controls and processes

that make up our approach to governance that is led by the

Nomination and Governance Committee and includes all

appropriate nancial and non-nancial controls

–

External auditor:

the regular and condential dialogue with the

external auditor

Membership of the Committee

The Committee comprises solely of Independent Directors all of

whom have relevant nancial experience. I am considered by the

Board to have signicant recent and relevant nancial experience

chiey related to my work with other audit committees, having been

anance director of another listed entity and having held senior

nancial positions in other entities. Biographical details of the

Committee members can be found pages 70 to 71. The Board is

satised that the Committee has the resources and expertise to

fullits responsibilities.

As Chair of the Audit Committee, I remain available to shareholders

and stakeholders should they wish to discuss any matters within this

report or under the Committee’s area of responsibility whether at the

AGM or by writing to the Company Secretary.

Committee

#### Compliance, Responsibility and Ethics Committee

#### Letter from the Chair

#### Dear Shareholders

During 2021, the Compliance, Responsibility and Ethics Committee

(CREC) continued to promote and oversee our commitments to

business integrity, quality, communities and ethical conduct.

This report focuses on the matters that the Committee addressed

during the year. Further details related to the structure of our ABC

compliance and integrity programme are available on our website.

Ethics

Modern slavery

Hikma is committed to ensuring that modern slavery in the form of

forced or compulsory labour and human tracking does not take

place in any of its businesses or supply chains across the globe.

Keymeasures in support of this goal include:

–

training Hikma sta on labour standards and how to recognise and

respond to any incidences of modern slavery

–

undertaking periodic analysis of any modern slavery risk in Hikma’s

businesses and supply chains

–

carrying out appropriate due diligence

–

engaging with supply chain partners and the operational part of

ourbusiness if and when any issues arise

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Committee oversaw, encouraged and supported the corporate

social responsibility programme which is so clearly linked to our

founder’s desire to improve lives, particularly through health,

educational anddevelopmentopportunities for the least privileged.

Our social responsibility report provides a detailed assessment of our

key eorts which is available on pages 36 to 53.

Ethical issues

The Committee oversaw Hikma’s response to ethical issues arising

during the year. There are no matters to report.

#### Integrity, quality and community

Anti-bribery and corruption

ABC programme

Our ABC compliance programme continues to perform in a highly

eective manner. The ABC programme has strong support from the

Board, the CREC and the Chief Executive Ocer. The Chief

Compliance Ocer reports to the Chief Counsel and has direct

access to the Committee.

I am pleased to update you on our progress with our programme to

assess the ABC practices of our suppliers. During the year, we

completed the roll out of new third-party due diligence processes

across all our major areas of operation. Where relevant, appropriate

action has been taken.

Commitment to integrity

The Committee and the Board are very proud of Hikma’s commitment

to high standards of business integrity. It includes the Board’s

long-standing, zero-tolerance of bribery and corruption which has

been demonstrated in numerous instances, including being a

founding member of the World Economic Forum’s Partnering Against

Corruption Initiative.

Code of Conduct

The Committee continues to oversee the development and promotion

of Hikma’s Code of Conduct, which embodies the important moral

and ethical values that are critical to the Group’s success. The Code

guides all the Committee’s activities and is the key reference point for

all our employees. During 2021, management reviewed and updated

the Code of Conduct to ensure that it remains appropriate, relevant

and easily understood. The changes were reviewed and endorsed by

the Committee and approved by the Board.

Speak up

The Committee has reviewed the speak up procedures and reports

during the year and remains satised that the process continues to

operate eectively. The procedures, which include a Committee of

senior and independent corporate employees that undertake

proportionate investigations andimplement correctiveaction, are

appropriate andeective.

The Committee continued to receive regular reports on issues

identied through the Group-wide speak up arrangements, which

include condential reporting lines that report directly to the previously

mentioned Investigations Committee. The programme includes

Group-wide reporting soware and a communications system

provided by an independent third party. This system ensures that

colleagues can report condentially or in anonymity. The overall level

of reports is within the normal range for an organisation of our size.

The Chair of the Audit Committee is a standing member of the CREC

and vice versa, which ensures that any relevant issues are considered

by the right people within our governance structure. Both Committee

Chairs report all relevant matters considered by their Committee to

the next Board meeting. Speak up matters are reported and

considered as part of this process.

Training

During the year, we continued with our training programmes for

theCode of Conduct, ABC, anti-money laundering and related

matters. The programmes have been developed with assistance

fromexternalexperts and are provided to employees virtually

through their personalised corporate training portal. Our training

programmesinclude worked examples and tests to ensure

andenhance understanding. The Board has fully supported the

trainingprogrammes and has undertaken the aspects that apply

toallcolleagues.

Auditing and Monitoring

The Committee receives regular updates on the internal auditing

andmonitoringprogramme conducted by the Hikma Compliance

team. Inaddition, the Committee retains independent third parties

toconduct periodic audits of the compliance programme and

relatedactivities.

#### Doing the right thing and ensuring

#### compliance

Regulations

Anti-trust, anti-money laundering (AML) and trade sanctions

The Chief Counsel oversees Hikma’s compliance with the anti-trust,

AML and trade sanctions legislation, amongst other matters. The

Chief Counsel has created procedures for the management of these

matters which have been reviewed and approved by the CREC. The

Chief Counsel reports to the CREC on relevant matters that arise,

including pertinent changes to the regulatory landscape. The legal

team has developed a training programme on anti-trust, AML,

prevention of tax evasion and trade sanctions, which has been

undertaken by colleagues whose roles require training or awareness.

Criminal Finances Act

The Chief Counsel is responsible for ensuring compliance with the

Criminal Finances Act. The CREC has approved procedures that have

been recommended by the Chief Counsel and reviewed those

procedures at appropriate intervals. The procedures are designed to

respond to the requirements of the prevention of tax evasion

legislation from the UK Government. Hikma’s processes and

procedures in this regard are proportionate to its risk of facilitating tax

evasion, which is relatively low. Hikma is steadfast in applying the

principles of the UK tax evasion legislation across its businesses and

will continue to oversee matters of compliance.

Data protection

The Chief Counsel is responsible for Hikma’s data protection policies

which are designed to ensure compliance with relevant legislation.

The policies were considered by the Board at the point of

implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation and

wereupdated and then reviewed by the Committee during 2021.

I am available at any time to discuss with shareholders any matter

ofconcern.

For and on behalf of the Compliance, Responsibility and Ethics

Chair, Remuneration Committee

#### Remuneration Committee

#### Letter from the Chair

#### Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to present our 2021 Remuneration Report. I have

decided not to stand for re-election to the Board of Hikma at the 2022

AGM, consequently I will cease my role as Chair of the Committee at

that point. I am delighted that Nina Henderson has agreed to lead

theCommittee going forward. Nina and I have worked closely on

remuneration issues over a number of years and I am pleased that

Iwill leave the Committee in good hands.

Remuneration Policy

The policy for the remuneration of Executive Directors provides

asalary, benets and pension sucient to be market competitive.

Thisapproach is adopted across the organisation in order to align

theentire culture of Hikma. The policy focuses the Executive

Directors on the incentive opportunity available from the Executive

Incentive Plan (EIP) which chiey requires the delivery of annual

nancial performance targets. These targets apply to the Group

bonus scheme in which all colleagues participate and, therefore,

ensure clarity for our employees and builds further on the cultural

alignment objective. The nancial targets derive from the Group’s

ve-year business plan and, therefore, require the delivery of the

Group’s medium-term strategy which ensures that the shareholder

experience and pay outcome are aligned, predictable and

proportional. The targets are set above both the prior year outturn

and the prior year target ensuring that longer-term nancial

performance is delivered and builds further on the proportionality

objective. Further information on the rationale for the targets is

The EIP, which applies to the top two levels of management, diverges

slightly from the bonus scheme that operates for more junior

employees. The divergence enables the Company to reduce the

prioryear awards of senior management if performance is not

suciently maintained in the current year. This operates through

theestablishment of forfeiture performance levels such as those

detailed on pages 100 to 105. Additionally, for executive directors

only, a clawback policy applies to all awards which ensures that

behavioural and reputational risks are mitigated. These measures

ensure that the emergence of material risks to the Group are reected

in pay outcomes.

Our remuneration policy was adopted in 2014. The changes

madesince that point have been in response to points raised

byinvestorsand the governance community as well as our

enhancedunderstanding of how the arrangements align colleagues

to deliver value:

–

Reducing the overall number of targets for each director thereby

enhancing clarity and ensuring simplicity

–

Increasing the weighting of the nancial targets thereby increasing

the objectivity in the determination of awards and making the

outcome moreproportionateto the shareholder experience

–

Limiting salary increases to the level of the local workforce thereby

ensuring fairness and clarity for our employees. Additionally, this

ensures that increases are limited to a sustainable level for the

entire business.

During 2022, we will be applying our existing policy and reviewing its

eectiveness and areas for improvement.

#### Aligning outcomes

Performance outcome

The nancial targets that the Committee established for the directors

for 2021 were very stretching. The Group revenue target was

$2,529million (2020: $2,299 million) and the core operating prot

before R&D target was $785 million (2020: $667 million). These targets

have increased by 18% and 31% over the last two years. In respect of

the performance outcome for 2021, you will see from the performance

tables on pages 100 to 105 that the revenue and prot outcomes were

around the level of our challenging expectations.

The strategic elements of the performance targets for 2021 related to

our approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues

and our plans for ensuring leadership succession. Both of these

elements are core to Hikma’s ability to continue to deliver its strategic

plans and create value for society.

During 2021, the Board requested that the Chief Executive Ocer

dene the Group’s ESG strategy with a particular emphasis on the

Group’s emissions and impact on the environment. The project has

been completed successfully. We have established and tested where

we are with our current arrangements, modelled our climate impact,

approved a longer-term target for the reduction of greenhouse gas

emissions and developed plans to deliver that target. The exercise

enabled the Group to identify opportunities to reduce its greenhouse

gas emissions by 19% compared to the prior year. As we move

forward, the opportunities for further reductions will become more

challenging and must be delivered whilst growing the business

resulting in signicant eort being required to achieve a 25%

reduction (from the level in 2020) by 2030. The Committee has

determined the performance level for this target as Maximum.

In relation to leadership succession, the Chief Executive Ocer has

developed solid succession plans for each role at the Executive

Committee and identied and ranked the mission critical roles,

including assessing internal talent. The ability of the Company to

deliverits operational performance and strategic projects overthe

longer term will be dependenton the continued strength of its

leadership team. This work is critical to the future of the Group and

the Committee. Excellent progress has been made and, therefore,

theCommittee has rated the performance as Above Target.

Overall, the nancial performance has been assessed as close to the

target level and the strategic performance as above target, resulting

in an overall performance determination slightly above the target

level. The Committee noted that the Company has performed

strongly in terms of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) since the Chief

Executive Ocer joined in 2018, but the TSR performance has

declined somewhat during the year under review. The Committee

reviewed the bonus outcomes for colleagues across the organization

and noted that the trend was for bonuses to be reduced slightly year

on year. Accordingly, the Committee considers that the remuneration

policy has operated successfully in that: there is alignment between

the amounts paid to Executive Directors and the wider workforce; the

longer-term strategy is on target; and the short-term shareholder

experience isaligned withthe performanceoutcome. Therefore,the

#### Letter from the Chair continued

Committee has not adjusted the quantitative outcome of the

performancemetrics.

Future performance targets

As noted earlier in this letter, we believe the current approach to

performance targets is delivering and, therefore, we are continuing

with our existing approach to nancial targets. They will continue to

represent at least 80% of the overall performance outcome and the

budget for 2022 (which was approved by the Board in December

2021) has been used to determine target level of performance.

In relation to the strategic targets, the Executive Chairman will

continue to have a Return on Invested Capital target because this

reects the long-term nature of his role. The Chief Executive Ocer

and Executive Vice Chairman are responsible for delivering strategic

priorities and, therefore, their strategic targets are linked to the

continued delivery of our ESG programme (see pages 37 to 52 for

further details).

Pension contribution

Hikma’s pension contributions for Executive Directors are aligned

with the workforce contribution of c.10% of salary, other than in

respect of the Chief Executive Ocer who receives a contribution

of14.1% of his current salary. The Chief Executive Ocer’s pension

contribution has been frozen resulting in it reducing from 15% of

salary over the last two years. The Committee will seek to align

thispension contribution with the wider workforce in the event

ofachange of the position holder. The benchmarking information

received by the Committee conrms that the contribution level is

atthe lower end of expectations for this position.

Salaries

The Committee undertook a benchmarking exercise during the year

which took into account the normal, size adjusted market data from

the FTSE 100 and global pharmaceutical market. Additionally, the

Committee requested an exercise to provide further information on

market practices in the MENA region. Having considered the market

data and packages of the Executive Directors, the Committee

determined that the Executive Chairman was well positioned against

his peers and, accordingly, no increase was required. In relation to the

Chief Executive Ocer, the Committee approved an increase of 3.5%

which takes into account that his total package is signicantly below

our US peers and a c. 3.5% increase being the average increase for

the Group’s workforce. The Vice Chairman’s salary was increased by

3.5% in line with the approach across the Group and the salary

benchmarking data.

Wider employee context

The Committee does not directly consult employees on the

remuneration aspects contained in this report, but receives regular

updates on employee feedback through the work of the Director

responsible for employee engagement, the Group human capital

department and the bi-annual employee cultural survey, which is

conducted by an external organisation.

The Committee reviews the pay proposals in terms of salary

increments and performance pay for employees at a jurisdictional

and Group level. The maximum salary increment for an executive

director is set by reference to the salary increment for the jurisdiction

of operation and the wider employee bonus pool is determined by

reference to performance against the same nancial metrics that

apply to the Executive Directors. In terms of pay gaps, the Committee

notes that the Company’s peers typically have a pay ratio of 1:100

(employees:CEO total pay) or more whereas the Company’s position

is c. 1:28 (2021 total pay: $187,444 for UK/Group employees:

$5,307,358 for the Chief Executive Ocer). Accordingly, the

Committee considers that the approaches to pay for the workforce

and Executive Directors are aligned and, therefore, do not require

signicant additional explanation.

The Committee is regularly briefed on the wider employee pay

policies and practices throughout the Group, including the internal

Living Wage report and the level of pay in each one of our

jurisdictions, which takes account of the cost of living. We continue

tobe fully committed to provide a Living Wage to all our employees.

Engagement

At the 2021 AGM (further information is available on page 92)

shareholders were supportive of the report on remuneration. The

Committee has not sought to implement policy changes or made

signicant adjustments to the Executive Directors’ compensation.

Accordingly, the Committee did not conduct any one to one

shareholder engagement activity during theyear. Comments

receivedon the Company’s remuneration policy will be taken into

consideration in the remuneration policy review that is due in 2022

and will be reported to shareholders next year.

Discretion

The Committee oversees the application of discretion in accordance

with the Remuneration Policy. The Committee has not applied this

discretion during the year under review.

I remain open to discussion with shareholders should there be any

matters that they wish to raise directly.

requires access to the US generic pharmaceutical environment

to recruit its specialised and extensive talent pool. The Committee

viewed Hikma’s strong relative performance since Siggi Olafsson

Executive Incentive Plan (EIP)

Performance awards that incentivise Directors to deliver annual nancial performance targets and certain key strategic deliverables, with the

majority of awards made in shares to ensure that medium-term performance is delivered.

The Remuneration Committee sets annual performance targets for awards under the EIP, in accordance with the rules of the EIP. Annual

performance metrics are based on:

–

Financial metrics:

At least 80% of the performance award, with specic targets based on the budget that is approved prior to the performance

period. The precise targets will be determined by the Committee on an annual basis

–

Strategic deliverables:

Up to 20% of the performance award is based on the delivery of specic, subjective targets that are set by the

Committee in order to ensure that key milestones in the Company’s strategy are delivered

At the end of each year the Committee determines the level of performance for the prior year. Based on the performance, the Committee makes

Hikma’s pay review, which took eect from 1 January 2021, awarded average percentage increases in wages and salaries of 3.5% (2020: 3.0%) for

existing employees (with certain exceptions for jurisdictions experiencing very high ination). The nature and level of benets to employees in

the year ended 31 December 2021 were broadly similar to those in the previous year (2020: unchanged).

UK gender and CEO pay ratios

Hikma has 35 employees in the UK (who work for the Group holding company) and, as a result, is exempt from gender pay and average

employee: CEO pay disclosure requirements. The small number of employees and signicant diversity of roles and seniority in the UK results

insignicant challenges in obtaining comparable gender data. The ratio of total CEO pay to the average Group employee is 28:1 using a simple

average methodology. Hikma is committed to paying fairly and not discriminating on gender or other grounds.

Relative importance of spend on pay

The following table sets out the total amount spent in 2021 and 2020 on remuneration of Hikma’s employees and major distributions

Advice and support

The Committee seeks the assistance of senior management (Chief Executive Ocer, EVP Organisational Development, Group Total Reward

Director and Company Secretary) on matters relating to policy, performance and remuneration, but ensures that no ocer or employee takes

part in discussions relating to their own remuneration or benets.

Willis Towers Watson (WTW) continued to provide independent advice to the Committee, at the Committee’s request, in relation to market

practice, UK corporate governance best practice, and incentive plan target setting. WTW also provided the Human Capital department with

broad benchmarking and incentive operation advice that related to employees below Board level. A policy fee structure is in place for the

provision of advice and is used to determine a quote for each project before it is undertaken. The total fees for advice to the Committee during

the year were $39,383 (2020: $90,929), which were determined in accordance with a pre-agreed fee matrix applied to a schedule of regular

projects which are undertaken by WTW. For ad hoc projects, an estimate is provided based on the specication for the work. The Committee

reviewed the performance of WTW during the year and fees received, concluding that WTW remained independent and continued to provide

high-quality service. WTW were appointed by the Committee in 2016 following a competitive tender process. WTW adheres to the

Remuneration Consultants Group Code of Conduct. During the year, the Committee instructed Mercer to undertake a region specic

benchmarking exercise for which a fee of $8,000 (2020: $8,000) was paid. Mercer are a recognised expert in the region in question.

During 2021, the Committee has not deviated from the remuneration policy approved by shareholders at the AGM on 30 April 2020.

Executive Incentive Plan (EIP)

For 2022, the Committee has determined that the performance criteria for the Executive Directors will be:

Area

Description

Weight

Rationale

Financial

Group/divisional

revenue

40%

Historically, the pricing of generic pharmaceutical products has decreased with time. The

Committee is cognisant that this could lead to declining revenue over the longer term, which

couldultimately result in a declining business overall. By ensuring that a signicant proportion

ofperformance remuneration is based on revenue, the Committee is able to ensure that the

Executive Directors are focused on mitigating pricing declines by maximising the potential of

thein-market portfolio, launching new products, and developing the pipeline.

Please see page 22 of the Strategic report for the detail on this target.

Group/divisional

coreoperating

protbefore R&D

40%

Ultimately, core operating prot is a key measure of value to Hikma’s shareholders. Given the highly

competitive business environment in which Hikma operates, the Executive Directors must focus

continuously on optimising Hikma’s cost base. The Committee wants the Executive Directors to

deliver an optimised cost base without putting at risk the longer-term prospects of the business

byunderinvesting in R&D. Therefore, R&D costs have been excluded from this criterion.

Please see page 22 of the Strategic report for the detail on this target.

Strategic

Strategic deliverables

20%

The targets are designed to ensure that the Executive Directors deliver the ESG strategy and target

to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by 25% by 2030 that is detailed on pages 22 and 23 of this

report. Further details will be disclosed on measurement.

Disclosed on measurement

The Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the disclosure of high-level forward-looking targets provides shareholders with an awareness of

direction and outcomes but, given the commercial sensitivity arising in relation to the detailed nancial and strategic targets used for the EIP, disclosing

precise targets for the EIP in advance would not be in shareholders’ interests. This avoids the risk of Hikma inadvertently providing a prot forecast or giving

our international competitors access to sensitive information or an unfair advantage. Actual targets, performance achieved and awards made are published

at the end of the performance period so shareholders can fully assess the basis for any pay-outs under the EIP.

Benets

Said Darwazah received transportation benets of $40,303 (2020: $55,216) and medical benets of $15,162 (2020: $15,107). Siggi Olafsson

received transportation benets of $19,992 (2020: $19,992), housing benets of $nil (2020: $110,903) related to his stay in the UK and medical

benets of $17,938 (2020: $32,336). Mazen Darwazah received transportation benets of $35,064 (2020: $64,603) and medical benets of $30,102

(2020:$28,289). Social security payments made in Jordan, that are required to be paid by Jordanian law, are not considered to be a benet.

Pension

Said Darwazah and Mazen Darwazah participate in the Hikma Pharmaceutical Dened Contribution Retirement Benet Plan (the Jordan Benet

Plan) on the same basis as other employees located in Jordan. Under the Jordan Benet Plan, Hikma matches employee contributions made, up to a

maximum of 10% of applicable salary. Participants become entitled to all of Hikma’s contributions once they have been employed for ten years. Before

that point, there is a staggered scale which starts at three years of employment. Said Darwazah and Mazen Darwazah have served for in excess of ten

years and receive their benets under the Jordan Benet Plan because they are over 60 years of age. In respect of 2020, Siggi was due to receive

a pension contribution of $165,000 which represented 14.6% of his salary. However, a calculation error was made resulting in an overpayment of

$4,950which has been deducted from the 2021 payment. Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC does not and has not operated a dened benet scheme.

Vested share awards

During 2021, the following share awards vested for the Executive Directors. The total shares vested in 2021 are summarised in the following threetables.

EIP

Under the EIP, performance criteria must be met before an award is granted. There are three award types under the EIP which are treated in the

following manner in respect of the table above:

–

Element A – a cash bonus that is payable immediately and attributed to the earnings for the performance year

–

Element B – an award of shares that vests two years aer grant subject to there being no forfeiture events and is attributed to the earnings

inrespect of the year in which it vests (i.e. two years aer being granted)

–

Element C – an award of shares that vests three years aer grant and, due to their being no further performance requirements, is attributed

tothe earnings for the performance year in the same manner as Element A

The tables below detail share awards (Elements B and C) vesting during the year ended 31 December 2021. Whilst these shares vested during

2021, they are attributed to earnings as detailed in the paragraph above.

Core revenueHistorically, the pricing of generic pharmaceutical products has decreased with time. The

Committee is cognisant that this could lead to declining revenue over the longer term, which

couldultimately result in a declining business overall. By ensuring that a signicant proportion

of performance remuneration is based on revenue, the Committee is able to ensure that the

Executive Directors are focused on mitigating pricing declines by maximising the potential of the

in-market portfolio, launching new products, and developing the pipeline. See page 22 of the

Strategic report for further detail on the performance related to this target.

Ultimately, COP is a key measure of value to Hikma’s shareholders. Given the highly competitive

business environment in which Hikma operates, the Executive Directors must focus

continuously on optimising Hikma’s cost base. The Committee wants the Executive Directors to

deliver an optimised cost base without putting at risk the longer-term prospects of the business

by underinvesting in R&D. Therefore, R&D costs have been excluded from this criterion. See

1.The performance criteria for Elements B and C of the EIP are assessed before a grant is considered. Additionally, Element B is subject to forfeiture criteria for the rst two years aer grant,

which are detailed each year as part of the next year’s EIP performance criteria on pages 100 to 105

2.The face value is the value at the point of grant which is the 30-day average to the 31 December of the performance year. The face value (30-day average price) in respect of awards

granted in 2019 was $22.33 (£17.63p), 2020 $25.32 (£19.30p), and 2021 $33.94 (£25.25p). The actual value received by Executive Directors under the share incentive arrangements is

dependent upon the share price of Hikma at the time of vesting, the satisfaction of performance criteria and the non-occurrence of forfeiture events (EIP Element B only)

3.The minimum value of the awards at vesting will be the share price on the day of vesting multiplied by the number of shares vesting. If the Executive Director leaves employment during

the vesting period, the normal position is that zero shares vest. If all the forfeiture conditions occur in each year of the vesting period under Element B only, zero shares will vest. The

weightingof each forfeiturecondition has aproportional impact on the vesting percentage underElement Bonly

Total shareholder return

During the last ten years, Hikma performed strongly against its UK peers in Hikma’s index (FTSE 100) and sector (FTSE 350 Pharmaceuticals &

Biotechnology segment, a relatively small group of companies that are mainly focused on developing new drugs). The Remuneration Committee

has chosen these comparators because it uses executive compensation benchmarking data from the FTSE 100 and the pharmaceutical

industry when considering compensation for the ExecutiveDirectors.

Remuneration table

The following table sets out the total remuneration, including amounts vesting under short-term and long-term incentive plans, for each

nancial period in respect of the Directors holding the positions of Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Ocer. The total gures for the

nancial years 2017 and 2016 are higher than would otherwise be the case due to a change of incentive plan. In accordance with the Regulations,

the 2017 and 2016 totals include LTIPs vesting during the relevant period (which were granted three years before) and Element C of the EIP which

was granted in respect of the relevant period. The Regulations require Element C to be treated in a similar way to the annual bonus, although it is

an award of shares that will vest three years aer grant. The nal LTIP awards vested in 2017 and, therefore, do not impact the Share Awards

percentage for 2018 onwards.

Non-Executive Directors(audited)

and Committee Chair and additional responsibility fees of £10,000 (Audit Chair £20,000)). The base fee was last increased in 2020 and other

Hikma complies with the UK Corporate Governance Code requirement that all Directors be subject to annual election by shareholders.

External appointments

Hikma recognises that Executive Directors may be invited to take up non-executive directorships or public sector and not-for-prot

appointments, and that these can broaden the experience, network and knowledge of the Director, from which Hikma can benet.

ExecutiveDirectors may accept external appointments as long as they do not lead to a conict of interest and are allowed to retain any fees.

During the year under review, Said Darwazah and Mazen Darwazah received fees of $4,100 (2020: $4,100), and $20,700 (2020:$19,250),

respectively, relating to external appointments which are detailed in their Director proles on page 70. The process for controlling external

commitments is described in the governance statement on page 76.

Closingstatement

We have continued to develop our approach to remuneration reporting this year and the Committee hopes that this has aided your

understanding of our Remuneration Policy and practices. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or observations.

Principal activity

The principal activities of Hikma are the development, manufacture

andmarketing of a broad range of generic, branded and in-licensed

pharmaceutical products. Hikma’spharmaceutical operations are

and Branded. The majority of Hikma’s operations are in the MENA

region, the US and Europe. Hikma does not have overseas branches

within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act).

Hikma’s reported prot for the year in 2021 was $420 million

(2020:$431million).

Dividend

The Board is recommending a nal dividend of 36 cents per share

(approximately 26 pence per share) (2020: 34 cents per share)

bringing the total dividend for the full year to 54 cents per share

(approximately 40 pence per share) (2020: 50 cents per share,

approximately 36 pence per share). The proposed dividend will be

paid on 28 April 2022 to eligible shareholders on the register at the

close of business on 28 March 2022, subject to approval at the

AnnualGeneral Meeting on 25 April 2022.

Creditor payment policy

Hikma’s policy, which is also applied by all subsidiaries and will

continue in respect of the 2022 nancial year, is to settle terms

ofpayment with all suppliers when agreeing the terms of each

transaction and to ensure that we abide by those terms of

payment.Trade creditors ofHikma at 31 December 2021 were

Due to the nature of Hikma’s business, members of Hikma are party

toagreements that could alter or be terminated upon a change

ofcontrol of Hikma following a takeover. However, none of these

agreements is individually deemed to be signicant in terms of its

potential impact on the business of Hikma taken as a whole. The

Directors are not aware of any agreements between Hikma and its

Directors or employees that provide for compensation for loss of

oce or employment that occurs because of a takeover bid.

There are no persons, with whom Hikma has contractual or other

arrangements, who are deemed to be essential to the business

ofHikma.

Darwazah, Patrick Butler, AliAl-Husry, John Castellani, Nina

Henderson, Cynthia Flowers and Douglas Hurt will seek re-election

atthe AGM.

Indemnities and insurance

Hikma maintains an appropriate level of Directors’ and Ocers’

insurance. The Directors benet from qualifying third-party

indemnities made by Hikma that were in force during the year and as

at the date of this report. These indemnities are uncapped in amount

in relation to losses and liabilities which Directors may incur to third

parties in the course of the performance of their duties.

Auditors

Each person who was a Director of Hikma at the date when this report

was approved conrms that:

–

so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information

of which Hikma’s auditors are unaware

–

the Director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have

taken as a Director to make himself or herself aware of any relevant

audit information and to establish that Hikma’s auditors are aware

ofthat information

This conrmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance

with the provisions of section 418 of the Companies Act 2006.

Employee engagement

Nina Henderson undertook the employee engagementactivities,

asdescribed on page 67. Hikma continued to operate its existing

employee engagement mechanisms which include intra-Group

communications, social networking, an open door policy for

legitimate union representatives and the operation of share incentive

arrangements. Hikma does not discriminate against a potential

employee on grounds of disability and will make reasonable

adjustments to employ and develop disabled people.

Stakeholder engagement

Further information on the Board’s engagement with stakeholders

isdetailed on pages 12 to 17.

fully paid.

Share buyback

At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 23 April 2021, shareholders

gave the Directors authority to purchase shares from the market up to

an amount equal to 10% of Hikma’s issued share capital at that time.

This authority expires at the earlier of 30 June 2022 or the 2022 AGM,

which is scheduled for 25 April 2022.

Share issuance

At the AGM on 23 April 2021, the Directors were authorised to issue

relevant securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £8,111,072

and to be empowered to allot equity securities for cash on a

non-pre-emptive basis up to an aggregate nominal amount of

£1,216,660 at any time up to the earlier of the date of the 2022 AGM or

30 June 2022. The Directors propose to renew these authorities at the

2022 AGM for afurther year. In the year ahead, other than in respect

of Hikma’s obligations to satisfy rights granted to employees under its

various share-based incentive arrangements, and in relation to the

merger reserve reduction that is subject to shareholder approval at

the AGM, the Directors have no present intention of issuing any

additional share capital of Hikma.

Details of the employee share schemes are set out in Note 37 to the

Group nancial statements on pages 172 to 174. Any Shares held by

the Hikma Pharmaceuticals Employee Benet Trust (EBT) and are

detailed in Note 31 to the Group nancial statements on page 168.

TheEBT has waived its right to vote on any shares it holds and also

toits entitlement to a dividend. Other than the shares held by the

EBTthe Treasury Shares, no other shareholder has waived the right

toa dividend.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM of Hikma will be held at Hikma Oces, 5th oor, 1 New

Burlington Place, London W1S 2HR on Monday, 25 April 2022, starting

at1.00 p.m. and arrangements are in place for virtual attendance.

TheNotice convening the meeting is given in a separate document

accompanying this document, and includes acommentary on the

business of the AGM, explains how shareholders can take part either

in person or virtually, and notes to help shareholders exercise their

rights at the meeting.

Hikma provides for the vote on each resolution to be by poll rather

than by show of hands. This provides for greater transparency and

allows the votes of all shareholders to be counted, including those

cast by proxy. The level of proxies lodged for each resolution is

projected onto a screen as each resolution is put to the meeting.

A‘vote withheld’ explanation is included in the Notice.

The powers of the Directors are determined by the Articles, the UK

Code and other relevant UK legislation. The Articles give the Directors

the power to appoint and remove Directors. The power to issue and

allot shares contained in the Articles is subject to shareholder approval

at each AGM. The Articles, which are available on the website, may

only be amended by special resolution of the shareholders.

Pre-emptive issue of shares

During the year under review, and in the period since the date of

Hikma’s Initial Public Oering on 1 November 2005, Hikma did not

issue any shares pursuant to an authority given by shareholders at an

AGM to issue shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis, other than

in respect of the placing undertaken on 17 January 2008.

Post balance sheet events

On 17 January 2022, Hikma announced that it has agreed to acquire

the Canadian assets of Teligent Inc. (Teligent). The acquisition marks

Hikma’s expansion into Canada and includes a portfolio of 25 sterile

injectable products, three in-licenced ophthalmic products and a

pipeline of seven additional products, four of which are approved by

Health Canada.

The transaction was completed on 2 February 2022 and Hikma

paidcash consideration of $46 million. Due to the proximity of

thecompletion of the transactions to the date of issuance of the

consolidated nancial statements, the initial valuation for the

business combination and net assets acquired is in progress. It is

expected that most of the consideration paid is attributable to

product related intangible assets and around $2 million for

workingcapital.

On 23 February 2022, the Board authorised management to

undertake a share buyback with a value of up to $300 million.

Furtherdetails are available in the announcement of the

preliminaryresults which was to be made on 24 February 2022.

#### Independent auditors’ report to the members

#### of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

#### Report on the audit of the nancial statements

Opinion

In our opinion:

–

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s Group nancial statements and

Company nancial statements (the “nancial statements”) give a

true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Company’s

aairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the Group’s prot and the

Group’s cash ows for the year then ended;

–

the Group nancial statements have been properly prepared in

accordancewith UK-adopted international accounting standards;

–

the Company nancial statements have been properly prepared in

accordancewith United KingdomGenerallyAccepted Accounting

Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS

101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”, and applicable law); and

–

the nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with

the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

We have audited the nancial statements, included within the Annual

Report, which comprise: the consolidated and Company balance

sheets as at 31 December 2021; the consolidated income statement

and the consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income, the

consolidated cash ow statement, and theconsolidated and

Company statements of changes in equity for the year then ended;

and the notes to the nancial statements, which include a description

of the signicant accountingpolicies.

Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.

Separate opinion in relation to IFRSs as issued

bytheIASB

As explained in note 2 to the nancial statements, the Group, in

addition to applying UK-adopted international accounting standards,

has also applied international nancial reporting standards (IFRSs)

asissued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

In our opinion, the Group nancial statements have been properly

prepared in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards

on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities

under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities

for the audit of the nancial statements section of our report. We

believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sucient and

appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remained independent of the Group in accordance with the

ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the nancial

statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, as

applicable to listed public interest entities, and we have fullled our

other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit

services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided.

Other than those disclosed in Note 7, we have provided no non-audit

services to the Company or its controlled undertakings in the period

under audit.

Our audit approach

Overview

Audit scope

–

Our audit included full scope audits of four components, specied

procedures on specic nancial statement line items of one

additional component, central audit procedures on specic

nancial statement line items of two components and audit

procedures performed centrally over specic material balances at

locations around the Group. Full scope components account for

72% of consolidated revenue, 73% of the adjusted prot measure

we use as a basis for determining materiality and 79% of

consolidated totalassets.

–

This year we have also specically set out our consideration of the

impact of climate change on the audit which is further explained

below. As explained in the Sustainability Report, the Group is clearly

mindful of its impact on the environment and is focussed on ways to

reduce climate related impacts. In planning and executing our audit

we have considered the Group’s risk assessment process and this,

together with discussions with our own sustainability specialists,

provided us with a good understanding of the potential impact of

climate change on the nancial statements. Based on this, we

understand that the key impact to the Group could be a potential

increase in input costs for energy intensive supplies like APIs and

packaging materials due to carbon pricing. This would most likely

impact the nancial statement line items and estimates associated

with future cash ows since the impact of climate change is

expected to become more notable in the medium to long term.

Thekey areas impacted include valuation of goodwill and

intangibleassets and recoverability of the Group’s deferred tax

assets. We note that management’s assessment is that the impact

on Hikma is immaterial, nevertheless, while auditing the estimates

associated with the forecasts, we have challenged management

onreecting the impact of climate change and any climate change

related commitments in the cash ows. We have not identied

anymatters as part of this work which contradict the disclosures

inthe Annual Report or lead to any material adjustments to the

nancial statements.

The scope of our audit

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed

the risks of material misstatement in the nancial statements.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional

judgement, were of most signicance in the audit of the nancial

statements of the current period and include the most signicant

assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud)

identied by the auditors, including those which had the greatest

eect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the

audit; and directing the eorts of the engagement team. These

matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures

thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the nancial

statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we

donot provide a separate opinion on these matters.

This is not a complete list of all risks identied by our audit.

‘Reorganisation of holding companies under Hikma Pharmaceuticals

PLC’ is a new key audit matter this year. ‘Tax including completeness

and valuation of provisions for uncertain tax positions’ and ‘Impact

ofCOVID-19’, which were key audit matters last year, are no longer

included because of the reduced level of judgement in respect of

uncertain tax positions following simplication of Hikma’s tax

structure in 2019 and further clarity on the treatment of certain tax

matters; and due to the insignicant impact of COVID-19 on business

performance and control environment, and the audit process due to

well established ways of remote working. Otherwise, the key audit

matters below are consistent with last year.

Annual Report 2021

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets (Group)

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

At 31 December 2021, the Group had goodwill of $285 million (31 December

2020: $289 million) and intangible assets of $607 million (31 December 2020:

$587 million) comprising product-related intangible assets, soware and other

identied intangible assets such as marketingrights, customer relationships

and trademarks.

These are contained within four cash generating units (CGUs): Generics,

Generic Advair Diskus®, Branded and Injectables. All CGUs containing goodwill

and indenite-lived intangible assets must be tested for impairment annually

and nite-life intangible assets are tested when there is an indication of

impairment. An impairment is booked when the carrying value exceeds the

recoverable amount. Judgement is required in assessing whether an

impairment trigger event has happened and there is signicant estimation

uncertainty in respect of calculating the recoverable value of CGUs and assets

to determine whether an impairment charge should be booked. Impairment

wasdetermined to be a signicant risk for the Generics, Generic Advair Diskus®

and Branded CGUs.

Additionally, the Group must consider whether there are indicators of

impairment reversal at each reporting date. Such indicators are usually

theopposite of the indicators of impairment that previously gave rise to the

impairment and there is judgement involved in assessing the existence of

theseimpairment reversal indicators. Once indicators for impairment reversal

are identied, the determination of recoverable values requires signicant

estimation on the part of management in determining the higher of the value

inuse (VIU) and fair value less costs to dispose (FVLCTD) for the relevant

individual assets or CGUs. These reversal considerations are relevant to the

Generics and Generic Advair Diskus® CGUs in particular due to the impairment

recorded in 2017 in relation to these CGUs.

During 2021, no impairment has been recorded on a CGU level. Impairment

of$23 million was recorded in respect of product related intangibles; a

furtherimpairment of $1 million was recorded in respect of other intangible

assets. Animpairment reversal of $60 million has been recorded on individual

marketed product related intangibles, including $46 million in respect of

Generic Advair Diskus®.

Refer to the Audit Committee review of areas of signicant judgement on

pages84-85, signicant accounting policies (note 2), critical accounting

judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (note 3) and goodwill

and other intangible assets (note 16) in the Group nancial statements.

We assessed the determination of the CGUs identied for the impairment

calculation by considering the CGUs previously used as well as from

ourunderstanding of the business as it develops and how it is monitored.

Weconclude that management’s determination of four CGUs in 2021

isreasonable.

With support from our internal valuations experts we performed the

followingprocedures:

–

Understood management’s process for forecasting cash ows;

–

Evaluated the appropriateness of the methodology used in the relevant

impairment models;

–

Tested the completeness and accuracy of the models as well as the

underlying data used in the models, including reconciling the cash ows

tothe Board approved plan (which includes the impact of COVID-19 and

climate change impact considerations);

–

Evaluated the signicant assumptions used by management in determining

future cash ows, including cash ow growth or decline, pricing and

protability, timing and probability of regulatory success for key products;

–

Our internal valuations experts assessed the reasonableness of the

valuation methodology, discount rates, long term growth rate and

mathematical accuracy;

–

We also compared management forecasts to analyst consensus cash ows

for theGenerics, Injectables and Branded businesses and the Generic

Advair Diskus® CGU and challenged management where there were

signicant dierences;

–

Performed a retrospective comparison of forecasted revenues and costs

toactual past performance including challenging management to produce

additional analysis on a constant currency basis; and

–

For the Generic Advair Diskus® CGU and intangible asset valuation,

wechallenged management’s weighting of scenarios within the

valuationmodel based on the expected impact of competition and

regulatory updates.

Based on our work we determined our own sensitivities and applied these

tomanagement’s models for each of the four CGUs.

We found management’s conclusions on the CGUs and indenite-lived

intangible asset impairment assessments to be reasonable, although the

headroom on the Generic Advair Diskus® CGU is more sensitive to the key

assumptions around growth and discount rates. Additional disclosures have

been included by management in accordance with IAS 36. We conclude the

analyses performed and disclosed in note 16 of the Group nancial

statements are reasonable. We also validated the appropriateness of the

related disclosures in notes 2 and 3 of the Group nancial statements.

We also tested management’s impairment indicators assessment for nite life

intangible assets and found this to be reasonable.

For impairment reversal considerations, we audited management’s

assessment of impairment reversal indicators both at the CGU level

(Generics and Generic Advair Diskus®) and at the individual intangible asset

level taking into account the conditions in the US generics market and factors

relating to Generic Advair Diskus® and consulted with our internal technical

accounting experts on the accounting judgements involved. Where

indicators for impairment reversal were identied, we tested management’s

cash ow models for recoverable value in line with our testing over the CGU

level models and agreed the cash ows to the Board approved business plan.

Based on our procedures, we concluded it was appropriate to reverse $60

million of impairment on specic marketed products which showed discrete

and sustained recovery inperformance. Weconsider management’sposition

on not reversing impairment of the Generics CGU to be reasonable based on

key judgements disclosed in note 3 to the Group nancial statements.

Valuation and accuracy of gross to net rebate and return adjustments in the US (Group)

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

Management is required to make estimates in respect of revenue recognition

and specically, the level of returns and indirect rebates that will be realised

against the Group’s revenue.

These estimates are complex, material to the nancial statements and require

signicant estimation by Directors to establish an appropriate provision, hence

the reason for inclusion as an area of focus. The signicant estimates relate to

revenue recognition through indirect rebates and returns in the US for which

the Group recorded revenue deductions for the year ended 31 December 2021

of $211 million (2020: $174 million).

Chargebacks and direct rebates are no longer considered a signicant risk due

to the lower level of estimation compared to the other categories of provision

and to the limited number of misstatements in previous years on this category.

The Directors have determined a provision of $196 million to be necessary

at31December 2021 (2020: $154 million) in respect of indirect rebates and

returns. Refer to the Audit Committee review of areas of signicant judgement

on pages 84-85, signicant accounting policies (note 2), critical accounting

judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (note 3), trade and

otherreceivables (note 21) and other current liabilities (note 27) in the Group

nancial statements.

Working alongside our US component team, we considered the

Group’sprocesses for making judgements in this area and performed

thefollowing procedures:

–

Assessed the revenue recognition policy and tested the operating

eectiveness of certain applicablecontrolsin placearound this process;

–

Tested returns, and rebates payments and credit memos throughout the

year by agreeing selected transactions back to the underlying source

documentation including customerclaims andpayment information;

–

Performed analytical procedures over channel inventory for major

wholesalers for which data was obtained from a third party service provider;

–

Developed an independent expectation or tested management’s process

for the largest elements of the provisions as at 31 December 2021 using

assumptions and inputs based on contracted prices and rebate terms,

historical rebates, discounts, validated channel inventory levels, and

invoices received or payments made, as applicable, subsequent to

year-end to validate the provisions. We compared this expectation to the

actual provision recognised by the Group; and

–

Considered the historical accuracy of the Group’s estimates in previous

years and the eect of any adjustments to prior years’ provisions in the

current year’s results.

Based on the procedures performed, we did not identify any material

dierences between our independent expectations andthe provisions

recorded. We also evaluated the disclosures in note 2, note 3, note 21 and

note 27 of the Group nancial statements which we considered appropriate.

Reorganisation of holding companies under Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (Company)

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

In the current year, the holding company structure under Hikma

Pharmaceuticals PLC was simplied by liquidating two downstream holding

companies and transferring the net assets up to the Company by way of a

dividend of$2,179 million primarily via anon-cash intercompany transfer.

Following this, the Company wrote down its investment in the intermediate

holding subsidiary by $2,222 million. The net impact of the restructuring on

theCompany was a loss of $43 million with an equivalent decrease in

distributable reserves.

Refer to investment in subsidiaries (note 4) and prot for the year (note 12)

inthe Company nancial statements.

We inspected the Board minutes for the subsidiaries being liquidated

toconrm that the members have resolved to liquidate the companies.

We also inspected the Board minutes for the subsidiary paying the dividend

to conrm the dividend was appropriately approved.

We understood the transaction that was being undertaken and conrmed

the treatment was in accordance with the accounting policies and

accounting standards. We also veried the journal entries for the liquidation

and the dividend payment.

We agree with management’s write-down of the Company’s investment in

theintermediate holding company following the Company’s receipt of the

netassets of the underlying holdings as a dividend, as this represents a valid

trigger for impairment.

In addition to auditing the accounting entries, we considered the impact

ondistributable reserves with support from our internal experts to help us

validate the impact of the restructuring on the distributable reserves of

Company. We did not identify any issues in this regard.

Based on the procedures performed we did not identify any material

adjustments from the reorganisation.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

Annual Report 2021

How we tailored the audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed

enough work to be able to give an opinion on the nancial statements

as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group and the

Company, the accountingprocesses and controls, andthe industry in

which they operate.

Procedures were performed prior to year-end to evaluate component

auditor procedures and controls, and oversight discussions were

undertaken by senior team members withcomponent auditors, to

rene the audit approach and ensure sucient oversight of

component auditors. As at 31 December 2021, Hikma Pharmaceuticals

PLC had in total 57 subsidiaries and one joint venture as part of the

Group. These entities may operate solely in one segment but more

commonly operateacross two. Eachterritory (component) submits

aGroup reporting package to Hikma’s central accounting team

including its income statementand balancesheet prepared under

Group accounting policies which are in compliance with IFRSs. We

requested component teams in the US (Hikma USA), Jordan (Hikma

Jordan) and Algeria (Hikma Algeria) to audit reporting packages of

certain entities in these territories and report the results of their full

scope audit work to us. This work was supplemented by a full scope

audit of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC carried out by the Group

engagement team. We also requested our component team in

Portugal to perform specied procedures over specic balances in

Hikma Portugal. Additionally, procedures were carried out by the

Group audit team over specic balances in Hikma International

Ventures Limited and Hikma International Pharmaceuticals; and,

other procedures were performed centrally on the consolidation,

taxation and specic material balances not covered by component

auditors. Due to travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19, we have

not been able to perform componentoversight visits. Nevertheless,

we have accordingly increased the frequency of communication

withour component teams through conference calls at the planning,

execution and completion stages including increasing the

involvement from senior team members from both sides. We have

attended meetings withlocal management alongside ourcomponent

auditors, reviewed selected working papers for all nancially

signicantand material components, attended component audit

clearance meetings as part of the interim and year end audit work,

and performed other forms of oversightas considered necessary

depending on the signicance of the component and the extent

ofaccounting and audit issues arising. Full scope components

account for 72% of consolidated revenue, 79% of consolidated

totalassets and 73% of the adjusted prot measure we used as

abasis for determining materiality.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was inuenced by our application of

materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality.

These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to

determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of

our audit procedures on the individual nancial statement line items

and disclosures and in evaluating the eect of misstatements, both

individually and in aggregate on the nancial statements as a whole.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the nancial statements as a whole as follows:

Financial statements – Group

Financial statements– Company

Overall materiality

$25 million (2020: $24 million).$21.6 million (2020: $21.6 million).

How we determined it

Approximately 5% of prot before tax aer

adjusting for all exceptional items and other

adjustments except for amortisationof intangible

assets other than soware

1% of total assets, but capped at $21.6 million based

on overall Group materiality

Rationale forbenchmark applied

The Group’s principal measure of earnings

is core prot. Management believes that it

reects the underlying performance of the

Group and is a more meaningful measure of the

Group’s performance. We took the equivalent

reported measure into account in determining

our materiality but did not add back certain

non-coreitems unless we deemed them to be

non-recurring in nature. Our materiality would

have been higher if we had adjusted for all non-

core items.

The Company holds the Group’s investments and

performs treasury functions on behalf of the Group.

The strength of the balance sheet is the key measure

of nancial health that is important to shareholders

since the primary focus for the Company is the

payment of dividends and servicing of debt.

For each component in the scope of our Group audit, we allocated a materiality that is less than our overall Group materiality. The range of

materiality allocated across components was between $5 million and $21.6 million. Certain components were audited to a local statutory audit

materiality that was also less than our overall Group materiality.

We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected

misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature

and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes. Our

performance materiality was 75% (2020: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to $18.75 million (2020: $18 million) for the Group nancial

statements and $16.2 million (2020: $16.2 million) for the Company nancial statements.

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number

of factors–the history of misstatements, risk assessment and

aggregation risk and the eectiveness of controls–and concluded

that an amount at the upper end of our normal range was appropriate.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them

misstatements identied during our audit above $1.2 million (Group

audit) (2020: $1.2 million) and $1.2 million (Company audit) (2020:

$1.075 million) as well as misstatements below those amounts that,

inour view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Our evaluation of the Directors’ assessment of the Group’s and the

Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of

accounting included:

–

agreeing the underlying cash ow projections to Board approved

forecasts, assessing how these forecasts are compiled, and

assessing the accuracy of management’s forecasts;

–

evaluating the key assumptions within management’s forecasts;

–

considering liquidity and available nancial resources;

–

considering compliance with covenants in the current year and

ability to comply with these at each future covenant reporting date

in the going concern period;

–

assessing whether the plausible downside scenario prepared by

management appropriatelyconsidered theprincipal risks facing

thebusiness; and

–

evaluating the feasibility of management’s mitigating actions in

theplausible downside scenario.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identied any

material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that,

individually or collectively, may cast signicant doubt on the Group’s

and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period

of at least twelve months from when the nancial statements are

authorised for issue.

In auditing the nancial statements, we have concluded that the

Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the

preparation of the nancial statements is appropriate.

However, because not all future events or conditions can be

predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the Group’s

andtheCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In relation to the Directors’ reporting on how they have applied the

UKCorporate Governance Code, we have nothing material to add

ordraw attention to in relation to the Directors’ statement in the

nancial statements about whether the Directors considered it

appropriate to adopt thegoing concernbasis of accounting.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with

respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of

thisreport.

Reporting on other information

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual

Report other than the nancial statements and our auditors’ report

thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information,

which includes reporting based on the Task Force on Climate-related

Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. Our opinion on

thenancial statements does not cover the other information and,

accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the

extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of

assurancethereon.

In connection with our audit of the nancial statements, our

responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,

consider whetherthe other informationis materially inconsistent with

the nancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or

otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an

apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are

required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a

material misstatement of the nancial statements or a material

misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we

haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement

ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have

nothing to report based on these responsibilities.

With respect to the Strategic report and Directors’ report, we also

considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies

Act 2006 have been included.

Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the

Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain opinions and

matters as described below.

Strategic report and Directors’ report

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the

audit, the information given in the Strategic report and Directors’

report for the year ended 31 December 2021 is consistent with the

nancial statements and has been prepared in accordance with

applicable legal requirements.

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and

Company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit,

we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report

and Directors’ report.

Directors’ Remuneration

In our opinion, the part of the Annual report on remuneration to

beaudited has been properly prepared in accordance with the

Companies Act 2006.

Corporate governance statement

The Listing Rules require us to review the Directors’ statements

inrelation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of

thecorporate governance statement relating to the Company’s

compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance

Code specied for our review. Our additional responsibilities

withrespect to the corporate governance statement as other

informationare described in the Reporting on other information

section of this report.

Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have

concluded that each of the following elements of the corporate

governance statement is materially consistent with the nancial

statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit, and we

have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to:

–

The Directors’ conrmation that they have carried out a robust

assessment of the emerging and principal risks;

–

The disclosures in the Annual Report that describe those principal

risks, what procedures are in place to identify emerging risks and an

explanation of how these are being managed or mitigated;

–

The Directors’ statement in the nancial statements about whether

they considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of

accounting in preparing them, and their identication of any

material uncertainties to the Group’s and Company’s ability to

continue to do so over a period of at least twelve months from the

date of approval of the nancial statements;

–

The Directors’ explanation as to their assessment of the Group’s and

Company’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why

the period is appropriate; and

–

The Directors’ statement as to whether they have a reasonable

expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation

and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of its

assessment, including any related disclosures drawing attention

toany necessary qualications or assumptions.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC

Annual Report 2021

Our review of the Directors’ statement regarding the longer-term

viability of the Group was substantially less in scope than an audit

and only consisted of making inquiries and considering the Directors’

process supporting their statement; checking that the statement

isinalignment with the relevant provisions of the UK Corporate

Governance Code;and consideringwhether the statement is

consistent with the nancial statements and our knowledge and

understanding of the Group and Company and their environment

obtained in the course of the audit.

In addition, based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we

have concluded that each of the following elements of the corporate

governance statement is materially consistent with the nancial

statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit:

–

The Directors’ statement that they consider the Annual Report,

taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable, and

providesthe information necessary for the members to assess

theGroup’s and Company’s position, performance, business

modeland strategy;

–

The section of the Annual Report that describes the review of

eectiveness of risk management and internal control systems; and

–

The section of the Annual Report describing the work of the

AuditCommittee.

We have nothing to report in respect of our responsibility to report

when the Directors’ statement relating to the Company’s compliance

with the Code does not properly disclose a departure from a relevant

provision of the Code specied under the Listing Rules for review by

the auditors.

Responsibilities for thenancial statements

andtheaudit

Responsibilities of the directors for the

nancialstatements

As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement,

the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the nancial

statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for

being satised that they give a true and fair view. The Directors are

also responsible for such internal control as they determine is

necessary to enable the preparation of nancial statements that are

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the nancial statements, the Directors are responsible

for assessing the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a

going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

concern and using thegoing concernbasis of accountingunless the

Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to

cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the

nancialstatements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

nancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of

assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in

accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement

when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could

reasonably be expected to inuence the economic decisions of users

taken on the basis of these nancial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with

laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our

responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in

respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our

procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is

detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the Group and industry, we identied

that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations

related to patent protection, product safety (including but not limited

to the United States Food and Drug Administration regulations),

competition and antitrust laws, pricing practices and legislation, tax

legislation, and anti-bribery and corruption legislation (including but

not limited to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), and we considered

the extent to which non-compliance might have a material eect on

the nancial statements. We also considered those laws and

regulations that have a direct impact on the nancial statements such

as the Companies Act 2006 and Listing Rules of the Financial

Conduct Authority (FCA). We evaluated management’sincentives

and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the nancial

statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined

that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal

entries to manipulate nancial results and management bias in

accounting estimates. The Group engagement team shared this risk

assessment with the component auditors so that they could include

appropriate audit procedures in response to such risks in their work.

Audit procedures performed by the Group engagement team and/or

component auditors included:

–

discussions with management and the Group’s legal counsels,

including consideration of known or suspected instances of

non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;

–

assessment of matters reported on the Group’s whistleblowing

hotline and results of management’s investigation of such matters;

–

challenging assumptions made by management in its signicant

accounting estimates particularly in relation to estimation of rebate

and return provisions and valuation of intangible assets (see related

key audit matters above); and

–

identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal

entries posted with unusual account combinations, journals posted

by senior management, journals posted and reviewed by the same

individual andconsolidation journals.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described

above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-

compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to

events and transactions reected in the nancial statements. Also,

the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is

higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud

mayinvolve deliberate concealment by, for example,forgery or

intentionalmisrepresentations, orthrough collusion.

Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of

certain transactions and balances, possibly using data auditing

techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number

of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will

oen seek to target particular items for testing based on their size or

risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to

enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the

sample is selected.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the

nancial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.

uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our

auditors’ report.

Directorsbelieve that theGroup anditssubsidiariesare adequately

placed tomanage its businessand financing risks successfully,despite

the currentuncertain economicoutlook

. Havingassessedthe principal

risks, theDirectors considered ita

ppropriate to adoptthe goingconcern

#### Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financialstatements incorporatetheresults ofHikma

PharmaceuticalsPLC (theCompany) andentities controlledby the

Company (together theGroup). Control isachieved whenthe Group is

exposed, orhas rights, tovariable

returnsfromits involvement withthe

investeeand hastheability toaffect

those returns through itspower over

the investee.

The consolidated financialstatements include:

—

the assets andliabilities, results an

dcashflows ofthe Companyand its

subsidiaries (entities thatare controlledby theGroup, through the

power ofgoverning thefinancialandoperatingpoliciesto obtain

benefits fromits activities)

—

the Group’s shareof the resultsand net assetsofjointventures

All subsidiaries and theCompanyfinancialstatementsconsolidatedare

made upto 31 December eachyear.

Interests acquiredinentities areconsolidated fromthe datethe Group

acquires control and interestssoldare de-consolidatedfrom thedate

control ceases.

Goodwilliscapitalised asa separateitem inthecase ofsubsidiariesand as

partof thecost ofinvestment inthecase ofjoint ventures andassociates.

Transactions andbalances between su

are soldtocustomers outsidetheGroup.

Transactionswith non-controlling interests arerecordeddirectlyinequity.

Deferredtax relief onunrealisedintra-groupprofitis accounted foronly

to theextent thatit is considered recoverable.

#### Business combinations

The acquisition ofsubsidiaries isaccountedfor usingthe acquisition

method. All identifiable assets,liabilities andcontingentliabilities

acquired aremeasured atfairvalue on theacquisitiondate.All

acquisitionrelatedcosts arerecognised inthe consolidated income

statement asincurred.

The considerationismeasured at theaggregatefairvalues ofassets

given,liabilitiesincurred or assumed,andequityinstrumentsissued by

the Groupin exchangefor controlof

Where applicable,this consideration mayincludethefair value ofassets

or liabilitiesresultingfrom acontingent consideration arrangement.

Contingent considerationclassifiedas anassetor liabilityis afinancial

instrumentand, within thescope of

IFRS 9‘FinancialInstruments’, is

measured atfairvalue, withchanges infairvaluerecognisedin the

consolidatedincome statem

ent in linewith IFRS 9.

Subsequent changes tothose fairvalues can onlyaffectthe

measurementof goodwill, where theyoccur during the ‘measurement

period’ andare as aresult of additional information becomingavailable

about factsand circumstances thatex

isted atthe acquisition date. All

other changesaredealt within accordan

ce withrelevant IFRSs.Thiswill

usually meanthat changes inthe

fairvalueof consideration are

recognisedin theconsolid

ated incomestatement.

Where abusinesscombination isachievedin stages,the Group’s

previouslyheld interests intheacqu

iredentity areremeasured to fair

value atthe acquisition date(i.e. thedate theGroup attains control).

The resulting gainor loss,if any,isrecognisedin theconsolidated

income statement.

Goodwillarisingonacquisitionis re

fairvaluesof the identifiablenet assetsacquired.If,after reassessment,the

Group’sinterest inthe netfair valueofthe acquiree’sidentifiable assets,

consideration,the excessis recognised immediatelyin theconsolidated

incomestatement.

The non-controllinginterest intheacquireeis initiallymeasured atthe

non-controllinginterest’sproportionof the netfairvalueof theassets,

liabilitiesandacquired contingent liabilitiesrecognised.

If theinitialaccounting fora business combination isincomplete bythe

end ofthe reportingperiodin whichthe combinationoccurs,the Group

reports provisionalamounts for theitemsforwhich theaccountingis

incomplete.Those provisional amounts areadjustedduringthe

measurement period, oradditionalassets orliabilities arerecognised,

to reflectnewinformation obtainedabout factsand circumstancesthat

amounts recognisedas of thatdate.

The measurement periodis the peri

to amaximum ofoneyear.

#### Investments in joint ventures

#### Revenue recognition

Under IFRS15 revenueis recognised inthe consolidatedincome

the customerat anamount thatreflects theconsideration towhich the

Group expectstobe entitledin exchange forthose goodsand services.

The point atwhich control passesisdetermined by eachcustomer

The Groupmanufactures certainmedicines onbehalf ofsome

customers. Therevenue fromproviding contractmanufacturing services

is recognised whenthesemedicines

are approvedbythe qualitycontrol

department. There isno alternativeuseof thesemedicines and also the

Group hasenforceableright topaymentsonce thesemedicines are

quality approved.

The Group hasgenerallyconcludedthat itactsas principal inits revenue

arrangements because ittypically controls thegoods beforethe transfer

to thecustomer.

Revenue representsthe amountsreceivable afterthe deductionof

discounts, valueadded tax,other salestaxes, allowancesgiven,

provisions for chargebacksandaccruals forestimated futurerebates,

returns andprice adjustments.The

methodologyand assumptionsused

to estimaterebates and returns are

monitored andadjusted regularlyin

light ofcontractual andhistorical information.

The Groupdoes notexpect tohaveany contractswhere theperiod

between thetransfer of thepromised

and paymentby the customerexceeds oneyear.As aconsequence,

the Groupdoes notadjust anyof the

transactionprices forthe time value

of money.

Variable consideration

The ultimate netsellingpriceis calculatedusingvariableconsideration

estimates forcertain grossto netadjustments.

#### Chargebacks

Theprovisionfor chargebacksis themostsignificantand complexestimate

usedin therecognition ofrevenue. Inthe US,the Groupsells itsproducts

directlytowholesaledistributors,

genericdistributors,retail pharmacy

chains andmail-order pharmacies.The Groupalso sellsits products

indirectlyto independentpharmacies, managedcare organisations,

hospitals,and grouppurchasingorganisations, collectivelyreferred toas

‘indirect customers’.The Group entersinto agreementswithitsindirect

customers toestablishpricing forcertainproducts. Theindirectcustomers

productsat agreed-uponprices. TheGroupwillprovide creditto the

wholesalerforthe differencebetweenthe agreed-upon pricewiththe

indirectcustomer andthewholesaler’s invoice price.This creditiscalled

achargeback. Theprovisionforchargebacks isbased onhistorical

sell-throughlevels bythe Group’swh

thatallows customers toreturn

the productwithina specifiedperiodprior toand subsequent tothe

expiration date.Provisions forreturn

s arerecognised as areductionof

The Groupestimates itsprovision forreturns based onhistorical

experience, representing management’sbest estimate.While such

experience hasenabledreasonableestimations inthepast, historymay

not alwaysbe an accurateindicator offuture returns. TheGroup

continually monitorsthe provisions

for returns andmakes adjustments

when itbelievesthat actual productreturns maydifferfrom established

reserves (seeNote27 forreturnsensitivityanalysis).

#### Rebates

In theUS, rebatesare granted towholesalerdistributorsand direct

customers. Rebates arealso granted tohealthcare authorities andunder

contractual arrangementswith certain

indirect customers.Products sold

which productsare soldat adiscount.

The Groupestimatesits provision for rebatesbased oncurrent

contractualterms andconditions aswellas historical experience,

be anaccurateindicator of futurerebate liabilities.The Groupcontinually

believes that actualrebatesmay differ fromestablishedreserves. All

#### Leases

In accordancewithIFRS 16,the Gr

#### Taxes

The Group providesforincome taxaccording to the lawsand regulations

prevailingin thecountries where theGroup operates.Furthermore, the

Group computesand records deferred taxassets andliabilities according

to IAS12 ‘IncomeTaxes’.

The taxexpense representsthe sum ofthe current taxin the current

period anddeferred tax.

CurrentIncomeTax

Current incometax assets andliabilities aremeasured atthe amount

expected tobe recovered fromor paidto the taxationauthoritieswithin

one year.

The currenttaxincurred inthe period isbasedon taxableprofitfor the

yearand prioryear movement accounted forin the currentyear. Taxable

profit differs fromnet profit as re

ported inthe consolidated income

statement because itexcludes item

s of incomeor expense thatare

taxable ordeductible in otheryears and itfurther excludesitems thatare

never taxable ordeductible.The Group’s taxincurredis calculated using

tax ratesthat have beenenacted or substantivelyenactedby the

consolidated balance sheetdate.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxis the taxexpected to bepayableor recoverableon

differences betweenthe carryingamount

s ofassetsand liabilities inthe

consolidated financial statements

and thecorresponding taxbases used

in thecomputation oftaxable profit and isaccounted for usingthe

consolidatedbalancesheet liability method. Deferredtax liabilitiesare

generallyrecognised forall taxabl

etemporary differencesand deferred

tax assetsare recognised tothe extent

thatit isprobablethattaxable

profits will beavailableagainstwhichdeductible temporary differences

will reverse. Tothe extentthe temporary differencearisesfrom goodwill

or from theinitialrecognition(other than ina businesscombination) of

other assetsand liabilitiesin atransa

ction thataffects neitherthe taxable

profit northe accountingprof

it, nodeferred taxis provided.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised

fortaxable temporary differences

arisingon investmentsin subsidiaries,andinterestsin joint ventures,

except wheretheGroup isable toc

ontrol thereversal of thetemporary

difference and itisprobable thatth

e temporary difference will notreverse

in theforeseeablefuture.

Deferred taxis calculatedat thetaxrates thatareexpected toapply in

the periodwhen theliabilityis settled, orthe assetis realised.Deferredtax

is chargedorcredited inthe consolidated incomestatement,except

when itrelates toitems chargedor cr

editeddirectly toequity,in which

case thedeferredtax isalso dealtwithinequity.

Deferred taxassets andliabilitiesare offset whenthere is alegally

enforceable right tooffsetcurrent taxassets against currenttax liabilities

and whenthey relate toincome taxes leviedby the sametaxation

authority andthe Group intendsto settle itscurrenttax assetsand

liabilities on anet basis.

The carryingamount ofdeferredtax assetsis reviewedat each

consolidated balance sheetdate andreduced to theextentthat itis no

longer probable that sufficienttaxable profitswillbe available toallow all

or partof the assetto be recovered.

Uncertain taxposition

In linewith IFRIC 23,ifit isconsideredprobable thata taxauthoritywill

accept anuncertain taxtreatment,the taxcharge should becalculated

on thatbasis. Ifit isnot consideredprobable, theeffect

of theuncertainty

should beestimatedand reflectedin the taxcharge.In assessingthe

uncertainty,it isassumedthatthe taxauthoritywill have full knowledge

of allinformation relatedto the matter.

Impairment ofproperty, plant and equipment and

#### intangible assets

At thesame time eachyear, the Groupcarries out animpairment review

for goodwill andintangible assetsthatare notyet ready foruse.At the

year end,the Group reviewsthe carry

ing amounts of itsproperty, plant

and equipmentandintangible assetsthat are subjecttodepreciation

and amortisation todetermine whether

there isany indication thatthose

assets havesuffered an impairment loss.Ifany suchindication exists,the

recoverable amount ofthe assetis estimated todetermine theextent of

the impairmentloss (if any).

The recoverableamount isthe higherof

fairvalue lesscosts tosell and

value inuse (VIU). Inassessingvalue inuse, theestimatedfuture cash

flows arediscountedto theirpresent

value using apre-taxdiscount rate

that reflectscurrent marketassessmentsof thetimevalue ofmoney and

the risksspecificto theassetfor whichthe estimatesof futurecash flows

have notbeen adjusted.

If therecoverableamount ofan asse

t (orcash-generating unit(CGU)) is

estimated tobe less thanitscarrying

amount,the carryingamount ofthe

asset (orCGU)is reduced toits recoverable amount. Animpairmentloss

is recognised immediately inthe consolidated income statement.

When animpairment lossforthe asset,

otherthan goodwill, subsequently

reverses, thecarryingamount ofthe assetis increasedto therevised

estimate ofitsrecoverable amount. However,the increasedcarrying

amount shouldnot exceedthe carryingamount thatwould have been

determined had therebeen no impairment inprioryears. Areversal of

an impairment loss isrecognisedimmediatelyinthe consolidated

income statement.

Forassets excludinggoodwill,anassessment ismade ateach reporting

datetodetermine whether thereis anindication thatpreviously recognised

impairmentlosses nolongerexist orhavedecreased. If suchindication

exists, theGroupestimates theassets’ orCGU’srecoverable amounts.

A previously recognised impairment lossisreversedonly ifthere has

been asustainedand discretechange inthe assumptionsand indicators

used todeterminethe asset’srecoverableamount since thelast

impairmentloss was recognised. Thereversalis limited sothat the

carrying amountofthe assetdoes not exceedits recoverableamount,

nor exceedthe carrying amountthat

wouldhavebeen determined, net

of depreciation andamortisation,had

noimpairmentloss beenrecognised

fortheasset inprioryears.Suchreversal isrecognised inthe consolidated

incomestatement. Inlinewith IAS36, previouslyrecognisedimpairment

lossesongoodwill arenot reversed,seeNote16.

The Group’sgoodwilland intangibleassets are tested asfollows:

(a)Goodwill isallocatedto eachof the Group’s cash-generatingunits.

These cash-generatingunits are tested forimpairment annually, or

more frequently whenthere isanindication thatthe unit maybe

impaired.If therecoverable amount

ofthe cash-generating unit isless

than thecarrying amountof theunit, theimpairment lossis allocated

first toreduce the carrying amountof anygoodwill allocated tothe

unit andthen totheother assetsofthe unitpro-rataon thebasis of

the carryingamount ofeach asse

tinthe unit.An impairmentloss

recognised forgoodwill isnot reversedin a subsequent period.

The assumptionsused and sensitivity analysisin the impairmenttests

are setout inNote 16

(b) Intangible assetsthat arenot

yetready foruse arenot subject

#### Financial instruments

Financialassets and financial liabilitiesare recognisedon theGroup’s

consolidated balance sheetwhenthe Groupbecomes apartyto the

Financial assets

The Groupclassifies itsfinancialas

sets inthe followingmeasurement

categories:

(i) Financialassets at FVTPL

Listed shares,debt instrumentsand

investment portfolios held bythe

Group thatare traded inan active marketare classified asbeingfinancial

assets atFVTPL and arestatedat fairvalue. Gainsand lossesarisingfrom

changesin fairvaluearerecognisedin theconsolidatedIncome

Statement, seeNote 23.

(ii) Financialassets at FVTOCI

The Group’s investments heldby itsventure capital subsidiaries are

stated atFVTOCI with norecyclingof cumulative gainsor losses upon

de-recognition.Investmentsin unlis

ted sharesare measuredat cost

minus anyimpairment andadjusted

for observablepricechanges in

orderlytransactionsfor theidentical

ora similarinvestment ofthe same

issuer under level3 valuation.Forinvestmentsin listed shares,fair value

is readily determinable underlevel 1valuation,see Notes 19and 29.

(iii) Financialassets at amortisedcost

Trade receivables, loans, andothe

r receivablesthat havefixed or

determinable payments thatare notquotedinan activemarket are

classified as‘financialassets at amortised cost’.These financialassets are

measured atamortisedcost usingthe effectiveinterest method,less any

impairment.Interestincomeis recognised byapplyingthe effective

interest rate,except for short-term

receivables when therecognitionof

interest wouldbeimmaterial.

In orderfor afinancial assetto be classifiedand measuredat amortised

cost, itneedsto giveriseto cashflows thatare solelypayments of

principaland interest (SPPI)on theprincipal amountoutstanding.

This assessmentis referredto asthe SPPItest and isperformed at

an instrument level.

The Group’sbusinessmodel formanaging

financial assetsrefers tohowit

manages itsfinancial assetsin ordertogenerate cashflows.Thebusiness

modeldetermines whether cashflowswillresultfrom collecting contractual

cashflows, selling thefinancial assets,orboth.Financial assetsclassified

andmeasured atamortisedcost arehe

ldwithina businessmodel withthe

objectivetoholdfinancial assetsin ordertocollect contractual cashflows.

The effective interest method isa method ofcalculatingthe amortised

cost ofa debtinstrument andof allocatinginterestincome overthe

relevant period. Theeffectiveinterestrate isthe rate that exactly

discountsestimatedfuture cashreceipts(includingall fees and points

paid orreceived thatform anintegral part ofthe effective interest rate,

transaction costsand other premiumsor discounts) through the

expected lifeofthe debtinstrument, or, whereappropriate,a shorter

period, tothenetcarrying amount oninitial recognition.

Income isrecognised onan effectiv

e interestbasisfor debtinstruments

other thanthose financialassets classifiedas atFVTPL.

For tradereceivables and contractassets,the Groupappliesa simplified

approach incalculating

expectedcredit loss. Th

erefore, theGroup does

not trackchangesin creditrisk,but instead recognisesa lossallowance

based onlifetimeexpected credit lossesat each reportingdate.The

Group has established aprovisionmatrix thatisbasedon itshistorical

credit loss experience, adjustedforforward-lookingfactors specificto

the debtorsandthe economicenvironment.

Financial liabilities

Financialliabilitiesare classified intwocategories:financialliabilities

at FVTPLorfinancial debtsrepres

entingloans andborrowings.The

classification depends onthe natu

reand purposeof the financial

liabilitiesand isdetermined atthetime ofinitialrecognition.

(i) Financialliabilities at FVTPL

The Group currentlyhastwo financialliabilitiesat FVTPL asbelow:

nancialliabilities

are currentlybooked underother non-

(ii) Financialdebts

Financialdebts are initially measured atfairvalue, net oftransaction

costs andsubsequentlymeasuredat amortisedcost using theeffective

interest method,with interest ex

The effective interest method isused for calculating the amortisedcost

Key sources ofestimation uncertainty

The Grouphasmade thefollowingkey assumptionsconcerningthefuture,

orother keysourcesof estimationunce

rtaintyinthereporting periodthat

mayhavea significantrisk ofcausing amaterial adjustmenttothe carrying

amountsofassets andliabilities withinthenextfinancial year.

Recognitionof deferredtax assets

(Note13)

The recognitionof deferredtax assetsis based onthe current forecast

of taxable profitsarisingin the jurisdictionin whichthedeferred taxasset

arises.A deferred taxasset isrecogn

ised tothe extentthat there are

forecasttaxable profits withina reasonableperiod.

This exerciseis reviewedeach year

and,to theextent forecastschange,

an adjustmentto therecognised deferredtaxasset maybemade.

Recognitionof deferredtax assets isdr

iven bythe Group’s ability toutilise

the deferredtaxasset whichis reliant onforecast taxable profits arising in

the jurisdiction inwhichlossesare incurred.

Tax auditrisk

In common withmost internationalorganisations, theGroup is subject

to auditfromrevenueauthoritiesfrom

time totime. Where anoutflow of

fundsis believed tobe probable anda reliableestimateof theoutcomeof

the disputecan be made,management providesforits bestestimate of

the liability. Theseestimates take into accountthe specif

ic circumstances

of eachdisputeand relevant external

advice, areinherently judgemental

and couldchangesubstantially overtime as newfacts emergeand each

dispute progresses. Hikma continuesto

invest initsfinancial systems to

ensure thequalityof theGroup’s fina

ncialdatawhichreduces therisk of

an adverse revenue authorityaudit.

Furthermore, Hikma continuesto

believethat ithasmade adequate provision fortheliabilitieslikelyto arise

from openassessmentsand audits.Where open issues exist,the ultimate

liabilityfor such mattersmay varyfromthe amounts providedandis

dependent uponthe outcomeof nego

tiations withthe relevant tax

authorities or,ifnecessary, litigationproceedings.

Other risks

In addition totax audits,the Group facesother potential taxrisks that

could affectthe sustainabilityof th

e Group’seffectivetax rate.The main

risks arenotedbelow. Hikma regularly takesprofessionaladvice toensure

the risksmentioned below areapprop

riately analysedandmanagedwith

any ultimate potential liability beingadequately provided.

Transferpricing risk

The transfer pricing riskcan arise froma differenceinview overthe

pricingof cross-border, intercompany productsales andservices andof

sales of assets.The standardbywhic

h most authorities, andthe Group,

assess thetransferprice iswhether it

isset at arm’s length. Anupward

adjustment by thetax authorityof oneterritory willnot necessarily result

in thedownward adjustmentby theother territory, potentially leading to

an increasedestimatedtax costthro

ugha mismatchof taxdeductions

and taxableincome,aswell asa potentialincreasearising out ofa rate

arbitrage.The Grouphas consideredtherisk indetail andhas provided

for potential taxadjustments sodoes not believethat anyadjustmentwill

materiallyimpactthe rategoingforward.

Valuation risk

As partof areorganisationfollowingthe Columbus business acquisition

in 2016 andthe 2019 business restructuring, certainassetsandliabilities

were transferred intra-Group withexternalvaluations obtained.Ifthese

valuationsare successfully challenged byrelevant taxauthorities,itcould

adverselyimpact the taxrecorded onthe reorganisation.

Sensitivity

(Note 12)

Where anuncertaintax positionaris

es, theGroup will assesswhatthe

probable outcome will be,assumingthe relevant taxauthority hasfull

knowledge of thesituation. Whereit is assessed thatanexposure will

give rise toan uncertaintaxposition

, aprovision isbookedfor thebest

estimate oftheliabilityinline withIFRIC23 principles.Hikma continues to

re-evaluateexistinguncertain positions todetermine ifa changeinfacts

and circumstanceshas occurredthatwo

uld makeit necessary toadjust.

#### Contingent liabilities

Legal contingentliabilities

The promotion, marketing andsale

of pharmaceutical productsand

medical devices ishighlyregulatedandthe operationsof market

participants,such asHikma, areclosely supervisedby regulatory

authoritiesand law enforcementag

encies,includingthe FDAand the

US Departmentof Justice.As aresult,the Groupis subjectto certain

investigationsby governmentalagencies,aswell asothervariouslegal

proceedings consideredtypicalto it

s business relatingto employment,

product liabilityand commercial disputes. (seeNote36)

The critical areasofjudgementin relation tocontingent liabilities are

as follows:

—

a possible obligation dependingonwhether someuncertainfuture

event occursin relationto legalproceedingsand/or governmental

agencies investigations

—

apresent obligationbut paymentis notprobable whereHikmadenies

—

a present obligation butthe amount cannotbe measuredreliably

Tax contingentliabilities

Due tothe Groupoperating across anumb

er ofdifferent tax jurisdictions,

it issubject toperiodic challenge bylocaltax authorities ona range oftax

mattersarising inthe normalcourseof business. Thesechallenges

generallyincludetransfer pricing arrangements, other international tax

mattersand thejudgementalinterpretationoflocaltax legislation.

assuming anincrease of two percentagepoin

As perthe Grouppolicy, the launching ofgeneric Advair Diskus® following FDAapprovalin April2021 ofanamendment submitted

Product rights

Product rightsconsists ofmarketed produc

tsof $400million (2020:$242 million)mainlyrelated togeneric AdvairDiskus®.

Whenever impairment indicatorsareidentified fordefinitelife intangible assets,Hikma reconsiders theasset’sestimated econ

omicbenefit, calculates

the valueof theindividualassets orassetgroup’s cash flows

and compares suchvalue against theindividualasset’s or asset

group’s carryingamount.

If thecarrying amount isgreater,the Grouprecords animpair

ment loss for theexcess ofbook valueover thevaluation whichis basedon the

discounted cashflows by applying anappropriate discount ratethat reflects therisk factors associatedwith the cashflows andthe CGUsunder which

these productssit.Furthermore, ifthereis anindicationthat

previously recognised impairme

nt lossesno longer existor have

decreased, the Group

estimates theassets’ recoverableamounts. Apreviouslyrecognised impairmentloss is reversed onlyif there hasbeen asustained anddiscretechange

in theassumptionsand indicatorsusedto determinethe asset’srecoverable amountsi

nce the lastimpairmentloss was recognised. Thereversal is

limitedso thatthe carryingamount of theasset does not exceedits recoverableamount, norexceed the carryingamount thatwould havebeen

determined, netof depreciationand amortisa

tion,had noimpairment loss beenrecognised

for theasset in prioryears. Asat 31

December2021,

the resultof thistesting wasan impairment

chargeof $14 million(2020: $1million)

relatedto differentproductsdue todecl

inesin performance and

forecastedprofitability,and animpairmentreversal of$60 million (2020: $66million)comprising$46 million related tothe genericAdvair Diskus®

intangibleassetand $14million forotherproductsrela

tedto the GenericsCGU duetoimproved performance.

The Groupperformed sensitivityanalysis overthe valuation ofth

e genericAdvair Diskus®intangibleasset. The sensitivity analysisassumedan

increase oftwo percentagepointsin thediscount rateor a10

% declinein theprojected cash flows,applying thosesensitiviti

eswould resultin

an impairment charge againstthe genericAdvair Diskus® intangible assetof approximately$11 millionand $16million, respecti

#### Credit and concentration of risk

The Group’s principalfinancial assets arecash andcash equivalents,tradeand otherreceivables, andinvestments.

The Group’s creditriskis primarily attributableto itstrade

receivables.The amountspresented inthe consolidated balances

heetare netof allowances

for expectedcreditloss, chargebacks, and otherallowances.A provisionfor impairment ismade based on expectedcreditlosseswhich areestimated

based onpreviousexperience, currentevents and forecastsof futu

re conditions.A loanorreceivableis consideredimpaired wh

enthere isno

reasonable expectationof recovery,or whena debtorfails toma

ke acontractualpayment fora specific periodwhich variesbas

ed onthe type of

debtor andthemarket inwhich theyoperate.

The creditrisk onliquid investmentsis limitedbecausethe coun

terparties arebanks with highcredit ratings assignedby inte

rnational

credit-ratingagencies.

In linewith localmarket practice, customersin the MENA regionare offered relativelylong payment termscomparedto customer

s inEuropeand the

US. Duringtheyear ended31 December2021,the Group’slargest

two customersin the MENA region

represented 5.6%of Grouprevenue (2020: 6.2%),

4.3% fromone customerin SaudiArabia (202

0:4.1%), and1.3%from one customerin Egypt (2020:2.1% froma customerin SaudiA

rabia). At

31 December2021, theamount ofreceivablesduefrom all customers basedin SaudiArabiawas$102 million(2020: $78million)a

nd theamountof

receivablesdue from allcustomers basedin Egyptwas $57million(2020: $42million).

During theyear ended 31December 2021,three key USwholesalers represented38% ofGroup revenue (2020:35%). Theamount ofre

ceivablesdue

from allUS customers at31 December2021

was $332million(2020: $285million).

The Groupmanages thisrisk throughthe implementation of string

entcredit policies,proceduresand certain creditinsurance agreements.

Trade receivable exposures aremanaged locallyin the operating unitswhere they arise. Credit limitsareset asdeemed appropr

iatefor thecustomer,

based ona number ofqualitative and quantitativefactors relatedto thecreditworthi

ness of aparticular customer. TheGroup i

s exposedto a varietyof

customers ranging fromgovernment-backedagencies and largepriv

atewholesalers toprivatelyowned pharmacies,and the underlyi

nglocal

economic risksvary across theGroup. Typical

creditterms in theUSrange from30 to90 days,in Europe30 to120 days,and inMENA 180 to360 days.

Where appropriate, theGroup endeavoursto

minimiserisk bythe useof trade finance

instrumentssuch aslettersof creditand

insurance.

#### Market risk

The Group isexposed to foreignexchange andinterestrate risks. TheGroup’sobjectiveisto reduce,whereitis appropriate t

exposuresto

manage thevolatility relatingto these ex

posuresby enteringinto avarietyof derivativefinancialinstruments,if needed.

#### Capital risk management

The Groupmanagesits capitaland monitorsits liquidity tohave reasonableassurancethat theGroup willbe able tocontinuea

sa goingconcern and

deliverits growthstrategy objectives, whilst reducingits cost

of capital andmaximisingthe returnto shareholders throught

he optimisationof the debt

and equitymix. The Groupregularly review

venants,and borrowing ratios.

The Groupdefines capital asequityplus netdebtwhich includeslong andshort-term financial debts(Notes 24and 28), leaseliabilities(Note 33),

net ofcash andcashequivalents (Note22)and collateralised andrestricted cash.Group netdebt excludesco-developmentand e

arnout payments,

acquired contingentliabilitiesand contingent consideration (Notes 27and 30).

During theyear, theGroup continuedits strategy ofobtaining debt financing atboth theGroup level andat the operatingenti

tieslevel. This enables

the Group toborrowat competitive ratesand tobuild relationships with local, regionaland internationalbanks andis therefo

re deemedto be themost

effectivemeans ofraisingfinance, whilemaintaining thebalancebetweenborrowing cost,assetandliabilitymanagement,and consolidated balance

sheet currencyrisk management.

In orderto monitorthe availablenet funds,management reviews

the Grouptreasuryfunction.

At 31December 2021,the Group’sgearingratio (totaldebt/equity)was 34%(2020: 43%). Thedecrease in theGroup’s gearing rat

ioisdue to the

neratedduring theyearand thedecrease of thetotal debts.

#### Cash management

The Groupmanagesthe deploymentof cash balancesto predefinedlimits approved bythe Boardof Directors underthe cash/risk management

policy.Per thepolicy,theGroup’s excesscashshould beheldwith highly ratedglobalandregional financial institutions.Theaim of thepolicyis to

mitigatethe riskofholdingcash incertain currencies,countriesand financial institutions,through aspecific threshold.Th

periodicallytomeet itsrisk appetite.

#### Foreign exchange risk and currency risk

The Groupuses the USdollar asits reporting currency andis th

erefore exposed to foreignexchange movements primarily in the

Euro, Algerian dinar,

Sudanese pound,Japanese yen, Egyptian po

und,Tunisian dinar, Lebanesepound and

Moroccan dirham. Consequently,where possible,

theGroup

enters intovariouscontracts,whichchangein valueas foreign

exchange rates change,to hedge

againsttherisk ofmovement in

foreign denominated

assets and liabilities. Dueto thelack of

open currencymarkets,the Algeriandinar,

the Sudanese pound,the Tunisiandinar, theMoroccan dirhamand

the Egyptianpound cannot behedged atreasonable cost.Where po

ssible, theGroup usesfinancing facilitiesdenominatedin loca

mitigatethe risks.The Jordanian dinarand th

eSaudiriyalhad noimpact onthe conso

against theUS dollar.

Lebanon andSudan wereconsidered tobe hyperinflationary econom

iesin the year ended31 December2021. When translatingtheir

resultsof

operationsinto US dollars,assets, liabilities, incomestatement andequity accounts aretranslatedatthe rateprevailingon

At 31December 2021, theLebanese pound ratewas 1,507.5 perUS dollar,and theSudanesepound ra

#### Tax

In April2019, theEuropean Commissionreleased itsdecision thatcertain taxexemptions offeredbythe UKauthorities could co

could havebeen affectedby the outcomeof thisdecision andha

In 2021,formal letters ofconfirmations werereceived fromHMRC

Shareholder fraud

The Financial Conduct Authority has issued a number of warnings

to shareholders regarding boiler room scams. Shareholders may

have received unsolicited phonecalls or correspondence concerning

investment matters. These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’

who target UKshareholders, oering to sell them what oen turn out

to be worthless or high-risk shares in US or UK investments. These

operations are commonly known as boiler rooms. These brokers can

be very persistent and extremely persuasive. Shareholders are

advised to be very cautious of unsolicited advice, oers to buy shares

at a discount or oers of free company reports. If you receive any

unsolicited investment advice:

–

obtain the correct name of the person and organisations

–

check they are authorised by the FCA by looking the rm up on

www.fca.org.uk/register

–

report the matter to the FCA either by calling 0800 111 6768 or visit

www.fca.org.uk/consumers

–

if the caller persists, hang up
