In this press release, the statements regarding the outlook for Allergan's earnings per share and revenue forecasts, and the statements from Mr. Pyott, among other statements above, are forward-looking statements. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Allergan's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Allergan often does not know what the actual results will be until after a quarter's end and year's end. Therefore, Allergan will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Allergan.

Any other statements in this press release that refer to Allergan's expected, estimated or anticipated future results are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Allergan's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Allergan's judgment only as of the date of this press release.

"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

This press release includes historical non-GAAP financial measures, as
defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, with respect to the three and nine months ended September
24, 2004 and September 26, 2003. Allergan believes that its
presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures provides useful
supplementary information to investors. The presentation of historical
non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation
from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In this press release, Allergan reported the non-GAAP financial
measure "adjusted earnings" and related "adjusted diluted earnings per
share." Allergan uses adjusted earnings to enhance the investor's
overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for
the future of Allergan's core business activities. Specifically,
Allergan believes that a report of adjusted earnings provides
consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates the comparison
of results of core business operations between its current, past and
future periods. Adjusted earnings is one of the primary indicators
management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods.
Allergan also uses adjusted earnings for evaluating management
performance for compensation purposes.
