Financial review 2007 Income statement The Group generated revenue of DKK 10,985 million in 2007, an increase of 19% relative to the previous year. Revenue was positively affected by two non-recurring payments from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited totalling DKK 420 million. The payments relate to the collaboration formed in 2007 concerning the development and commercialisation of new products in the US and Japanese markets. Net of these payments, revenue amounted to DKK 10,565 million, corresponding to an increase of 17% on 2006. Sales of Lundbecks new products in own markets, primarily of Cipralex® and Ebixa®, continued the positive trends, contributing DKK 1 billion to the revenue increase, which was 74% of the Groups combined revenue improvement exclusive of income from Takeda. Also, revenue was positively impacted by higher income from sales of Lexapro® in the USA relative to 2006. The increase in income from Lexapro® amounted to DKK 671 million, or 35%, and was partly attributable to a low level of income in 2006 due to Forests inventory reductions, partly to rising Lexapro® sales in the US market in 2007. Foreign currency hedging had an adverse DKK 53 million impact on revenue. Of this amount, DKK 48 million related to a hedging loss concerning hedging of USD income from Lexapro®. The realised hedging loss on USD relates to hedging of the inventories consumed at Forest, which Lundbeck hedged against exchange rate fluctuations and delivered in 2005 and 2006. Lundbecks total expenses, exclusive of net financials and tax, were DKK 8,290 million, up from DKK 7,437 million in 2006. The increase was driven primarily by higher cost of sales due to a DKK 381 million impairment loss on production assets in the Groups manufacturing unit in Seal Sands, UK, and higher cost of goods sold due to the higher revenue. Administrative expenses were DKK 1,514 million, a 7% increase on 2006. The increase was due to factors such as costs of closing down Lundbecks commercial office in Philadelphia, USA, the continuing expansion of the Groups information technology infrastructure and expenses relating to the establishment of a warrant programme. 62 Research and development costs accounted for 20% of consolidated revenue compared to 21% in 2006. Adjusted for the DKK 420 million income from Takeda, research and development costs represented 21% of revenue in 2007. Overall, there was a high level of activity in 2007 with several pipeline projects being advanced to the next phase. The Groups net financials were positively affected by higher return on bonds and cash, while exchange rate losses and interest expenses were higher than in 2006. Tax on profit for 2007 amounted to DKK 792 million, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 30.9%, against 32.2% in 2006. The effective tax rate was influenced by factors such as the lowering of the Danish corporate tax rate from 28% to 25%. At DKK 1,770 million, profit for the year was up 60% compared with 2006. Earnings per share increased 65% to DKK 8.63. The DKK 374 million increase in receivables to DKK 2,368 million was attributable to higher revenue in 2007 compared with the year before and a DKK 248 million receivable from Takeda concerning the alliance formed. Equity rose to DKK 7,185 million, which was an increase of DKK 420 million, or 6%. Acquisition of treasury shares and dividends paid reduced equity by a total of DKK 1,516 million in 2007. Non-current liabilities were up by DKK 331 million to DKK 2,502 million. The increase was due to a mortgage loan, and combined with the share buyback programme it reflects Lundbecks aim of optimising the Groups capital structure. Cash flow statement Cash flows from operating activities improved by DKK 1,311 million in 2007 compared with the year before. The improvement was attributable to a higher profit from operations and positive trends in working capital relative to 2006. Net investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were DKK 739 million, which was in line with 2006. The investments were driven primarily by maintenance and expansion of the Groups facilities in Denmark and the USA. Net investments in financial assets were DKK 345 million against a net sale of DKK 1,007 million in 2006. Investments in financial assets consist primarily of buying and selling of Danish listed bonds, which are recognised as investments in the cash flow statement as from 2007. The comparative figures have been restated. Cash outflows from financing activities amounted to DKK 1,012 million against an outflow of DKK 901 million the year before and were primarily affected by lower proceeds from loans in 2007, which were however offset by lower share buybacks than in 2006. The Group generated a net cash inflow of DKK 597 million compared with an inflow of DKK 732 million in 2006. Balance sheet The increase in intangible assets of DKK 114 million was driven primarily by the addition of product rights on the conclusion of partnership agreements, including with Biotie Therapies Corp. and Neurim Pharmaceuticals Ltd., and the continuing expansion of the Groups IT infrastructure. Property, plant and equipment fell by DKK 292 million, or 8%, relative to 2006 due to impairment of assets in the Groups manufacturing facility in Seal Sands, UK. Financial assets amounted to DKK 457 million, which was DKK 200 million lower than in 2006. The decline was due partly to an impairment loss on the investment in and receivables from the associate CF Pharma Gyógyszergyártó Kft., partly to a drop in the Groups deferred tax assets. Inventories were reduced by DKK 231 million to DKK 924 million. The reduction was partly the result of a dedicated effort to reduce inventories, partly an impairment loss on inventories at the manufacturing facility in Seal Sands, UK.
