Outlook

 estimate by two cents to $1.87, on a full-year pro forma basis, excluding one-time items. This is consistent with the Company's stated policy of sharing over performance with its investors. This represents a 26 percent increase over 2001 pharmaceutical-only pro forma diluted earnings of $1.48 per share. The additional two cents of over-performance will be reinvested into the long-term growth drivers of the Company. Accordingly, the Company now estimates earnings per share, excluding one-time items, of $0.53 for the fourth quarter of 2002.

For the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company estimates sales of approximately $375 million to $385 million. Allergan is updating its guidance for 2002 full-year product sales with an increase in Lumigan(R) to $115 million to $120 million. Allergan's full-year product sales guidance for Botox(R), the Alphagan(R) franchise, and Tazorac(R) remains unchanged.

Forward-Looking Statements forward-looking statement

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

Any other statements in this press release that refer to Allergan's 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. Until definitive agreements are signed regarding intellectual property disputes with Pharmacia and Columbia University, there can be no guarantee that an actual settlement will be reached. Actual results may differ from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Allergan's businesses, including changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment cost containment,

Particular areas of study within the field of international relations include diplomacy and diplomatic history, international law,  and the state of the economy worldwide, can affect Allergan's results.
