| So obviously we feel that our balance sheet is prime right now and we are really confident and Preethi and her team are continuing to look |
| I'm really impressed that you're able to provide guidance on AGAMREE, which has yet to launch |

| In conclusion, we are extremely proud of our achievements in 2023 and maintains strong confidence in meeting our targets for 2024 |

| Both transactions provide the company with additional opportunity to continue to create incremental net positive cash flow through disciplined execution |
| We are well known for our financial discipline and we plan to continue to deliver the rigor you have come to expect |
| We delivered outstanding performance in 2023, exceeding our guidance for the year, delivering record total revenues, both organically and through expansion of our product portfolio |
| This achievement was propelled by robust end to the year with revenues for Q4 2023 reaching $39.3 million |
| FYCOMPA's net revenues have exceeded the anticipated full year estimate of $130 million, reaching a total product revenue of $138.1 million, surpassing expectations by 6% |
| Additionally, we achieved record fourth quarter total revenues of $110.6 million, representing an 82% increase compared to $60.8 million in quarter four of 2022 |
| The commercialization of FYCOMPA has surpassed our initial expectations |
| Lastly, our efforts to broaden the addressable LEMS market through increased VGCC antibody testing will further bolster growth prospects |

| As mentioned in our press release, 2024 FYCOMPA net product revenue will be adversely affected by gross to net adjustments |
| Net income for 2023 was adversely impacted by the $81.5 million charge for in-process R&D resulting from the AGAMREE license acquisition |
| Net income before income taxes for '23 was $94.5 million, a 9.7% decrease year-over-year compared to $104.7 million for '22 |
| GAAP net income for 2023 of $71.4 million or $0.67 per basic share and $0.63 per diluted share, a decrease of 14% year-over-year compared to GAAP net income for '22 of $83.1 million or $0.80 per basic and $0.75 per diluted share |
| Since our costs under these arrangements are likely to be higher than a size cost, we expect to be impacted by an increase in gross to net deductions for FYCOMPA, thereby causing a corresponding decrease in FYCOMPA net product revenue |
| It's a go slow -- start low and go slow mentality with regard to medication treatment |
| With the increase in the daily maximum dosage, we would expect some of those conservative physicians who have been concerned about the overall efficacy of say a 60 milligram dose that a patient may have been receiving may be more likely to increase the dose knowing that they still have more room to further increase the dose for those patients |
| The decrease in net income is attributed to the one time AGAMREE related IP R&D expense recorded during the third quarter of '23 |
| We await the FDA's decision on the expansion of the FIRDAPSE label to include a 100 milligram dosing, which is expected in the second quarter of 2024 |
