Clive Meanwell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Second quarter and first half year 2011 results reaffirm our ability to execute our strategy of growing net revenue, investing aggressively in our R&D portfolio; and making stepwise investments to extend our geographic reach while still generating significant positive cash flow. Our second quarter and first half year 2011 results evidence real growth consistent with our short and medium-term goals. Looking ahead, we expect continued revenue growth led by Angiomax® | Angiox® (bivalirudin) for years to come, and robust progress in R&D and geographic reach."
Dr. Meanwell added, "We were very excited by multiple R&D developments in the second quarter that show the vibrancy and longer term commercial promise of our R&D programs -- all of which are expected to generate products which serve the same customer channel we are building for Angiomax and Cleviprex -- namely, acute and intensive care hospitals worldwide. We expect continuous news flow because of the breadth and depth of our technologies."
