In 2011, we launched 189 generic products globally, with significant revenue contributions from the U.S. launches of generic versions of Concerta®, Seasonique®, Kadian® and Lipitor®. Investments in our future growth resulted in the filing of 30 new Abbreviated New Drug Applications in the U.S. and more than 130 applications globally."

"In our Global Brands business, we experienced growth from U.S. sales of Rapaflo®, Gelnique® and Crinone®; launched Generess® Fe and Androderm® 2mg, 4mg in the U.S.; and focusing on the long-term future of this business, announced a collaboration with Amgen to develop a portfolio of biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb) oncology products," Bisaro continued.

"In 2011, we also continued to utilize our strong balance sheet to expand our global footprint by investing in key growth markets with the expansion of our brand business in Canada and the addition of Specifar Pharmaceuticals to our European operations.  We also realized significant enhancements to our global supply chain through our Operational Excellence framework and announced expansions to our Goa, Malta and Salt Lake City facilities," concluded Bisaro.  Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Business Segment ResultsGlobal Generics Segment InformationThree Months EndedTwelve Months EndedDecember 31,December 31,(Unaudited; $ in millions)
