Business review Lundbeck achieved its best ever results and also achieved its target of an EBIT margin of 25% in 2007. The Group recorded considerable growth for its new pharmaceuticals and the current development pipeline is the largest and broadest in the history of the Lundbeck Group. n 2007, the Group continued to record sales growth for its new pharmaceuticals, leading to the highest revenue ever recorded; just under DKK 11 billion. The Groups financial performance in 2007 was affected by three non-recurring items. In 2007, Lundbeck received two non-recurring payments from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited totalling DKK 420 million, which had a favourable impact on consolidated revenue. The development of an optimised production process for one of Lundbecks pharmaceuticals has enabled the Group to consolidate its inhouse production of active pharmaceutical ingredients at two factories instead of the three facilities used today. As a result, Lundbeck is considering whether the Seal Sands manufacturing unit in the UK can continue to be a part of the Groups production of pharmaceuticals in the long run. Lundbeck is investigating the opportunities for divesting the facility in an attempt to maintain production at the Seal Sands site. If these attempts are not successful, a closedown of the facility may become a reality during 2008. The reduced need for production capacity for the total Group has led to a DKK 381 million write-down of the value of the Seal Sands facility in 2007, adversely impacting the Groups production costs. In the coming years, Lundbeck expects annual production cost savings of approximately DKK 70 million by the production consolidation, but for 2008 production costs will not be impacted. Overall, non-recurring items had a DKK 39 million favourable impact on profit from operations for 2007. 6 I Revenue Revenue amounted to DKK 10,985 million in 2007, equivalent to an increase of 19%. Measured at constant exchange rates, revenue was up 21%. Exclusive of two non-recurring payments from Takeda totalling DKK 420 million, the Group generated revenue of DKK 10,565 million, an increase of 17% on 2006. Sales of the Groups new pharmaceuticals ­ Cipralex®/Lexapro®, Ebixa®, Azilect® and Serdolect® ­ were DKK 8,544 million in 2007, up DKK 1,671 million, or 24%, on 2006. Revenue derived from the Groups new pharmaceuticals accounted for 78% of total consolidated revenue in 2007 compared to 75% in 2006. Revenue from the Groups mature pharmaceuticals only decreased by DKK 223 million in 2007. 2007 Forecasts, DKK Realised*, DKK 2,657m 25.1% 739m Profit from operations* More than 2.6bn EBIT margin* Investments * Exclusive of non-recurring items. 25% Approx. 650m Expenses Lundbecks total expenses, exclusive of net financials and tax, were DKK 8,290 million in 2007, or 11% more than in 2006. Excluding the write-down on the Groups production assets, costs totalled DKK 7,909 million, corresponding to an increase of 6% on 2006. Lundbeck maintains a high level of research and development activities, and expenses amounted to DKK 2,187 million in 2007, an increase of 12% on the previous year and representing 21% of revenue (exclusive of non-recurring items). Production costs amounted to DKK 2,198 million in 2007. Exclusive of nonrecurring items, production costs totalled DKK 1,817 million, corresponding to 17% of revenue and an increase of 10% compared to 2006. Costs incurred for sales and distribution decreased by 0.4% to DKK 2,409 million, whilst administrative expenses were up by 7% to DKK 1,514 million. Profit from operations Profit from operations amounted to DKK 2,695 million. Exclusive of non-recurring items, profit from operations amounted to DKK 2,657 million, 63% higher than in 2006. With this financial performance, the Group met the financial forecasts for profit from operations set out in connection with the presentation of the annual report for 2006, and which were later revised in connection with the presentation of the Groups interim report for the third quarter of 2007. The consolidated EBIT margin in 2007 was 25.1% exclusive of non-recurring items, in line with the Groups guidance which was initially announced in connection with the presentation of the annual report for 2004. The Groups investments totalled DKK 739 million in 2007 inclusive of the payment for in-licensing of Circadin® for the treatment of primary insomnia. Net profit for the year The tax charge for 2007 was DKK 792 million, compared with DKK 526 million in 2006. The effective tax rate was 30.9% in 2007 as compared with 32.2% in 2006. Lundbecks future basic tax rate is expected to be reduced to 30% as a consequence of the new tax reform passed by the Danish parliament in July 2007. A result of the reform is that the Danish corporate tax rate has been reduced from 28% to 25%.
