Revenues of approximately $32.4 million were realized in North America in the current quarter as a result of the acquisition of Merck Generics. Excluding these amounts, total revenues decreased by $25.6 million from the same prior year period.

In the current year, new products launched in the U.S. contributed revenues of $75.6 million, consisting primarily of paroxetine ER and felodipine ER. In the prior year, the Company received a significant contribution to revenue from amlodipine and oxybutynin, both of which had exclusivity for a portion of the quarter. Generic competition on certain products in the Company's portfolio, including amlodipine, was responsible for the unfavorable pricing realized in the current period.
