On July 27, 2010, Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals Holding’s parent, Fresenius SE, issued a press release regarding first half 2010 net earnings and its updated forecast for full year 2010 net earnings and disclosing several matters related thereto.
In the press release, Fresenius SE announced that higher-than-expected earnings for the Fresenius Group for the first half of 2010 were mainly supported by Fresenius Kabi especially the North America region, which includes Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals Holding. Higher-than-expected performance was driven by new product launches and strong demand due to drug shortages. Fresenius Kabi expects to achieve attractive growth in the second half of 2010, albeit more in line with initial 2010 guidance.
