“Our solid operating results in the 2012 fourth quarter were in line with expectations and continue to demonstrate the positive momentum we have generated over the last few quarters,” said Arthur Bedrosian, president and chief executive officer of Lannett. “The key drivers for the quarter were strong sales of key higher margin products, including recently approved drugs and several of our pain management products, as well as improved manufacturing efficiencies. Looking ahead, we have a healthy pipeline, with a number of drug applications pending at the FDA. We expect to increase our development activities to add breadth and diversity to our product portfolio.”
