Perrigo President and CEO Joseph C. Papa stated, "In fiscal 2007 we achieved record sales in every segment, had record earnings for our fourth quarter and announced two strategic acquisitions designed to increase our return on invested capital. This performance allowed us to significantly increase our research and development investment by funding an incremental $14 million versus last year. It was another strong new product year with $77 million in new product sales, led by smoking cessation. On top of that, we also introduced $59 million of newly reformulated products to the market, all the while improving our customer service levels and investing in our quality systems. The Rx and API segments outperformed our expectations in highly competitive markets.
We exit fiscal 2007 with a stronger balance sheet, lower net debt and operating cash flow of $128.9 million. I am proud of the progress our team has made in the course of this fiscal year."
