| Importantly, this is the sixth consecutive quarter of positive or neutral cash flow generation for Amarin, and our cash balance is now $10 million higher when compared to December 31st, 2022 |
| We continue to stand ready to execute aggressive approaches, including the potential future launch of an authorized generic bolstered by our strong supply position to retain market leadership within the IP market |
| We are continuing to deliver strong launch progress such that we now have approximately 2,500 patients on therapy |
| That has enabled us with our great managed care and trade and medical capabilities to pull through as we close 2023, a 57% market share in retained market leadership |
| As we shared earlier in the call, we really are making progress on all three fronts, which provides us greater optimism and optionality for the future |
| In the US, we're maintaining and extending our IP market leadership |
| What's really pleasing is we have had a strong end to the year and a strong start to the year in terms of how we're landing our negotiations |
| We firmly believe this focus on operational momentum is the best path forward for Amarin and will more strongly position us or potential future options |
| We have a strong future because of our fundamentals, best-in-class science supporting VASCEPA/VAZKEPA, a large global opportunity to impact cardiovascular patients, a team that is dedicated to delivering results, and a strong balance sheet |
| We feel really confident that we can meet those supply demands moving forward |
| Again, as we mentioned, we've started 2024 in a strong position in terms of our exclusive contracts |
| We've been able to secure market leadership and continue that success through our exclusive contracts, led by our capabilities in payor, managed care and medical areas |
| In summary, 2023 was a meaningful year for operational momentum, and we are well positioned to continue to build on this in 2024 |
| So as we mentioned, we closed the year and we started the year with a strong position with our exclusive contracts that represents greater than 50% of the IP volume |
| So we're pleased with the progress and the uptake we're seeing in Spain on a national basis |
| So as we end the year and start the year, we are feeling really good about that position |
| We remain confident in our path forward in Europe |
| So we're pleased that we're progressing through that life cycle of partnership and lines management, I would say, and we see that shift in the business towards more revenue, market access and revenue generation |
| We believe we have the right plan, focus on operational momentum to drive shareholder value |
| Our organization, our US team, from my perspective, has delivered a highly atypical performance for over three years since LOA, which provides incredibly important profits for the business, particularly for our growth in Europe |
| Finally, in Research and Development and Medical, our teams delivered important progress with data publications and medical education, supporting our brand globally to build confidence in our science |
| In 2023, we continue to extend IP market leadership, closing the year with a 57% market share |
| As we turn to 2024, we have begun the year in a slightly improved position compared to last year |
| This important operational progress has supported our financial position, with $321 million in cash and no debt |
| As I have shared previously, we have strengthened our focus to advance our opportunities in key EU five markets |
| As a testament of this progress, we successfully defended our 2033 patent from opposition |
| Over the last several years, we've made really important progress, renegotiating our supply agreements to ensure that we can both meet our demands as well as reduce key supply commitments |
| In 2023, we made progress in controlling our costs and managing our cash position through our cost reduction programs and renegotiating supply agreements |
| We really have achieved a highly atypical performance three years post LOA to end 2023 with a market-leading share of 57% |
| Importantly, we are also aiming to successfully conclude pricing reimbursement decision in at least five additional markets in 2024 |

| What you've seen versus Q3 is a deterioration of gross margin, but that's primarily due to launch supply that we provided for our partners, in particular in China |
| Amarin reported a net loss of $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 |
| We may not achieve our goals, carry out our plans, or intentions, or meet the expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements |
| And so how should we think about the operating expense for 2024 because compared to the second quarter, you save about $7 million in the third quarter and $8 million this quarter? So should we expect a similar number going forward? And then the gross margin has dropped to 58% |
| We do expect Q1 2024 results to be impacted by typical first quarter payor dynamics |
| And as a result of that, not focused on growing the market |
| In terms of taking share from other products or classes, given those generic dynamics, we do not view this as an optimal strategy |
