DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

    The first quarter of 2000 has seen Biovail Corporation continue the
excellent performance achieved throughout 1999. The Company reported record
first quarter financial results, with total revenues 70% greater than the first
quarter 1999, driven by product sales 168% better than the first three months of
last year. In addition, I am pleased to report a number of significant
achievements in the first quarter, including new product launches, in-licensing
agreements and exciting progress in our product pipeline.

RECORD PRODUCT SALES

    Biovail recorded $33.6 million from product sales in the first quarter of
2000, a substantial increase from the $12.6 million in sales recorded in the
same period of last year. The increase is due to continuing strong sales of
Tiazac-Registered Trademark- in the U.S., where it currently maintains a 17%
share of the diltiazem market; continued penetration of
Tiazac-Registered Trademark- and other in-licensed products marketed by the
Company's Crystaal division in Canada; and the recent U.S. launches of generic
versions of Adalat CC, Cardizem CD and Voltaren XR through our U.S. marketing
partner Teva Pharmaceuticals.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES

    In the first quarter, Biovail successfully launched two significant new
generic products. The Company's generic version of Voltaren XR, a treatment for
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis with annual U.S. branded sales of $98
million, received FDA approval in February, and was immediately launched in the
U.S. market by Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. Teva also launched Biovail's
generic Adalat CC in a 30mg dosage strength. At present, the 30mg dosage
accounts for approximately 30% of total Adalat CC sales of $357 million. In
addition, the launch in the U.K. of Nurofen Meltlets, a new form of ibuprofen
developed using Biovail's patented Flash Dose-Registered Trademark- technology,
marked a significant milestone. Nurofen Meltlets are marketed in the U.K. by
Boots Healthcare. Boots' Nurofen is currently the U.K.'s best selling pain
relief medication.

CRYSTAAL PORTFOLIO GROWTH

    Crystaal, Biovail's successful Canadian sales and marketing operation,
significantly increased its portfolio in the first quarter with the in-licensing
of three new products. Ampligen, a medication used in the treatment of chronic
fatigue syndrome, was in-licensed from Hemispherx Biopharma Inc. and is
currently awaiting final marketing approval. Fibrostat, a treatment for scars
due to burns and surgery, was in-licensed from Procyon Biopharma. Fibrostat is
in late Phase II trials. Monocor, a beta-blocker indicated for mild to moderate
hypertension was in-licensed from Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories and is expected to
be launched in the second quarter. These join the five products currently
marketed in Canada by Crystaal, including Tiazac-Registered Trademark- and four
selected in-licensed products.

MANUFACTURING EXPANSION

    Biovail's existing manufacturing operations in Manitoba, Canada and Puerto
Rico are operating at peak efficiency to meet the demand for the Company's
products. To ensure that the Company will continue to meet its future
requirements, Biovail announced the acquisition of the Dorado, Puerto Rico
manufacturing facility from McNeil Pharmaceuticals Corp., a division of Johnson
& Johnson Inc., in the quarter. The Dorado plant is an FDA-approved cGMP
facility currently occupying 120,000 sq. ft. with room for expansion.

PIPELINE PROGRESS

    Significant progress was made in Biovail's product pipeline in the first
quarter of 2000, highlighted by two exciting developments. In March, FDA
approval was received for Biovail's NDA for a novel once-daily
controlled-release formulation of Diltiazem Hcl. In January, the Company
initiated Phase III clinical trials of its novel once-daily controlled-release
formulation of Buspirone, a successful medication used to treat generalized
anxiety disorders. Buspirone is currently only available as a three-times-daily
immediate-release product. Also in Biovail's NDA pipeline, development of a
controlled-release formulation of the antidepressant Celexa is proceeding on
schedule and other products, at various stages of development, are progressing
favourably. The Company's controlled-release generic pipeline includes three
products awaiting final FDA approval and several others under development.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

    Additional developments during the first quarter of 2000 included the
successful completion of two financing programs that raised gross proceeds of
approximately $400 million. Approximately $100 million was raised from an equity
offering, and $300 million from the issuance of convertible preferred
debentures. Approximately $141 million of these proceeds were used to retire the
Company's 10 7/8% U.S. Dollar Senior Notes.

    Finally, Biovail completed the sale of its Irish manufacturing operations,
acquired in the acquisition of Fuisz Technologies Ltd., to Stada Arzneimittel AG
for $20 million.

RECORD FINANCIAL RESULTS

    Effective January 1, 2000, Biovail changed its accounting reporting
convention to U.S. GAAP from Canadian GAAP. In addition, the Company began
reporting its earnings per share on a diluted basis.

    Biovail reported record financial results for the first quarter of 2000.
Revenue for the first quarter increased by 70% to $46.9 million, compared to
$27.6 million for the first quarter of last year. Operating income for the
quarter was $14.2 million, a 32% improvement over the $10.8 million reported in
first quarter 1999. Diluted earnings per share before extraordinary item
increased by 27% to $0.19 per share over first quarter 1999 diluted earnings per
share of $0.15.

    This excellent start to the new year, both financially and in terms of
Company progress, clearly positions Biovail for an outstanding 2000.

    On behalf of the Board, I offer my gratitude to the employees of Biovail for
all of their efforts and to you, our shareholders, for your continued support.
