Said Darwazah, Chief Executive Officer of Hikma, said:
“I am pleased with the very strong performance of the Group this year.
In the MENA region, our businesses are thriving as a result of the investment we have been
making to strengthen our manufacturing and sales operations and our ongoing commitment to
building our businesses in these markets.
Our global Injectables business achieved excellent growth in revenue and profitability, with very
strong performances across our geographies. We are benefiting from the strength of our sales
and manufacturing platform in the US, strong demand for our products across our markets and
our continued track record for quality and operational excellence. We are encouraged by the
prospects for the global injectables market and believe the Injectables business is well positioned
for strong growth over the medium and long term.
The performance of our Generics business has been impacted by the remediation work we are
doing at our Eatontown facility. Following completion of a strategic review, bringing this facility
back into regulatory compliance remains the priority, as does returning it to profitability. At the
same time, we are evaluating the alternative options for this business.
Our focus in 2013 continues to be on building our business in MENA and on strengthening our
global Injectables business. We are well positioned for 2013 and we look forward to another
strong year.”
