Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
The Company's May 1, 2012, conference call to discuss first quarter earnings included the following question and answer:
Q. . . . . for Biologics, if I strip out the KCl impact, is that roughly 8% to 9% growth or am I off in the math?
A. I don't have those numbers right in front of me, but that seems to be in the ballpark.
The Company's Chief Financial Officer misunderstood the question to mean decline rather than growth and unintentionally confirmed that the questioner's assumption was roughly accurate. In a follow-up conversation with analysts, the Chief Financial Officer corrected this error. The correct information is that the company's worldwide Biologics revenue, excluding the impact of KCI, declined 12.6 % in the first quarter of 2012 vs. the first quarter of 2011 on a constant currency basis.
