Interpretation of Results
The company is undervalued. Despite the loss of exclusivity on certain drugs, it has a sufficient number of new patents and pending approvals to offset the loss in revenues. Synergies and efficiency. Cuts in cost to augment R&D. Long term projects which will generate growth in the future. Future opportunities for generating cash flows include: current demographics of developed countries large number of untreated patients within certain therapeutic categories (ex. High cholesterol) development in emerging markets
