Susan Kilsby, Shire's Chairman, commented: “Shire is well-positioned for future growth as we implement our plan to double product sales to $10 billion by 2020. I am confident that Shire, as an independent company, will deliver long-term value to our shareholders and improved outcomes for patients. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Shire management team and employees for the achievement of outstanding financial results during the third quarter.”
Flemming Ornskov, M.D., Shire’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our third quarter results demonstrate our exceptional track record of delivering value and growth. We continue to implement our clear and focused strategy, as we:
• Generated record quarterly product sales of $1,552 million, growing at 33%
• Grew Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS by 60%, and
• Delivered Non GAAP cash generation of over $600 million.
These results are a testament to our ability to drive top line growth and our continued emphasis on operational discipline.
"We have seen strong sales performance across our portfolio with all of our top ten products delivering double digit growth in the quarter. Rare Diseases, our largest business unit, grew by 66%, aided by our acquisition of ViroPharma. In our Hereditary Angioedema portfolio, CINRYZE performed strongly with quarterly sales of $145 million and FIRAZYR was up 57%.
"Our Neuroscience and Gastrointestinal business units also contributed to the record quarter with VYVANSE sales up 19% and LIALDA up 24%.
"We continue to build our international presence and our expansion into the Japanese market with the approval of VPRIV and AGRYLIN.
"Our strong momentum and performance this quarter is evidence of our ability to deliver growth, efficiency and innovation through our commitment to addressing significant unmet need in Rare Diseases and high-value specialty conditions. As a result, I am pleased to once again increase our guidance for 2014. We now expect to deliver Non GAAP diluted earnings per ADS growth in the high thirty percent range in 2014.”
