Alcon Investor Presentatiion

Legal Disclaimers Alcon Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the eye care industry and our business and financial results. Forward-looking statements often include words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements include government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions and other factors, including but not limited to: uncertainties regarding the commercial success of our products and our ability to maintain our share of the markets in which we compete; our ability to keep pace with the advances in the highly competitive eye care devices market; the success of our research and development efforts; uncertainties regarding the success of our separation and spin-off from Novartis, including our ability to achieve our expected benefits; pricing pressure from changes in third-party coverage and reimbursement methodologies; general political and economic conditions; consolidation among our distributors and retailers; uncertainties regarding actual or potential legal proceedings and government investigations; potential product recalls or voluntary market withdrawals in connection with defects in or unanticipated use of our products; regulatory actions or delays or government regulation generally; changes in tax laws; changes in IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or other applicable accounting policies; the potential volatility in the price of our shares; uncertainties regarding future sales or dispositions of our shares; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the section titled "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings" and other sections of the Alcon Inc. Form 20-F Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive and may not contain all the material factors that are important to you. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this presentation speak only as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law. Non-IFRS Financial Measures We have prepared our financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, we have discussed in this presentation our results using certain non-IFRS financial measures. Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the periods presented against corresponding results from other periods. However, these non-IFRS financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Alcon's reported results prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with our combined financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Please refer to the appendix of this presentation for definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures. In addition, non-IFRS measures are footnoted, where applicable, in each slide herein. Notice Regarding Financial Information The business of Alcon did not form a separate legal group of companies in all years for which historical financial information is presented in this presentation. As a result, the historical financial information contained in this presentation was prepared on a carve-out basis derived from Novartis' consolidated financial statements and accounting records. This financial information includes certain expenses of Novartis that were allocated to us for certain corporate functions. These shared expenses may not represent the amounts that would have been incurred had we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of Novartis. Consequently, the financial information included in this presentation are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected in the future. This presentation also contains estimates, projections and forecasts, including certain five-year outlook measures regarding Alcon's future financial performance. As with any projection or forecast, these five-year outlook measures are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and are based on various assumptions that may turn out to be incorrect. Our actual results may vary materially from our outlook due to risks and uncertainties including but not limited to those listed above under "Forward-Looking Statements". Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the outlook included in this presentation. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update our outlook included in this presentation as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law.
