Slide 1

Safe Harbor Statement Various remarks that we make about our future expectations, plans and prospects constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors may cause our actual results to differ materially, including: whether we can increase adoption of Auryxia in patients with CKD on dialysis; whether we can maintain our operating expenses to projected levels while continuing our current clinical, regulatory and commercial activities; whether we will able to identify and negotiate acceptable terms with a commercialization partner in the E.U.; whether we or a partner can successfully launch Fexeric in the E.U.; whether Riona® will be successfully marketed in Japan by our Japanese partner, Japan Tobacco, Inc. and Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd; the risk that the FDA may not concur with our interpretation of our Phase 3 study results in non-dialysis dependent CKD, supportive data, conduct of the studies, or any other part of our regulatory submission and could ultimately deny approval of ferric citrate for the treatment of IDA in adults with stage 3-5 non-dialysis dependent (NDD) CKD; the risk that if approved for use in NDD-CKD that we may not be able to successfully market Auryxia; and other risk factors identified from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These and other important factors that may affect our results are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in public filings including our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs, as well as other filings we periodically make with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements made during this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation. While we may update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after this date, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates and expectations change.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the financial measures presented in our press release and related conference call, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), Keryx also presents expected cash operating expenses in the 2016 financial guidance discussion, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure’s most comparable GAAP financial measure is total operating expenses. Keryx believes that the non-GAAP financial measure cash operating expenses provides investors with useful information regarding the company’s financial condition and prospects because this measure helps an investor better understand the company’s expected liquidity needs. Also, this non-GAAP measure is used by Keryx management for internal review of the company’s operating performance.   A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of the company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the company’s financial statements. Keryx provides the non-GAAP measure listed above as additional information relating to Keryx’ expected operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare Keryx’ performance to that of other companies.
