It is managements intention that the shareholders should benefit from the companys strong financial position Lundbeck experienced a turbulent and challenging year in 2003. For the first time since being listed in 1999, Lundbeck failed to meet its financial forecasts. The forecast for 2003 was communicated to the capital markets in connection with the presentation of the annual report for 2002 on 10 March 2003. Management forecast an increase in revenue of approx. 10% and a rise in profit from operations of about 12% relative to 2002. Management reiterated its forecasts at the presentation of the subsequent interim financial reports on 6 May and 19 August 2003. On 4 November, the new Executive Management, headed by Claus Bræstrup, lowered the companys revenue forecasts from an increase of approx. 10% over 2002 to an increase of approx. 5% relative to 2002. The failure to reach the financial targets was caused by a combination of delayed launches of Cipralex® in several European countries, lower than forecast sales of Cipralex® in a few countries and lower than estimated sales of citalopram to Forest Labs, Lundbecks business partner in the USA. A provision of DKK 300 million was made in connection with the profit warning. The provision covers severance pay in connection with the staff reductions carried out in the autumn of 2003, which led to the dismissal of about 170 employees, as well as costs of restructuring and closing down the companys regional sales and administration offices. Finally, an amount was allocated to cover the companys defence of its intellectual property rights. Including the DKK 300 million provision, management lowered its profit from operations forecast to a decline of approx. 10% relative to 2002. Profit before tax declined by 1% to DKK 2,053 million and profit after tax and minority interests rose by 8% to DKK 1,377 million. Earnings per share increased by 8% to DKK 5.89 per share from DKK 5.44 in 2002. Lundbeck generated revenue of DKK 9,941 million in 2003, a 5% increase over the previous year and corresponding to an increase of 9% in local currency. Profit from operations amounted to DKK 2,132 million, a 10% decrease compared with 2002. Naturally, the companys failure to meet its announced forecasts of financial performance in 2003 was a disappointment, but we should not let that overshadow the spate of successful results we achieved during the year. A more detailed presentation of Lundbecks finan- cial performance and sales trends in selected markets is provided in the financial review on pages 46-57. Share buy-back Lundbeck has historically generated a considerable free cash flow, and management expects the company to continue to do so in the years ahead. Management pursues a strategy of ploughing the companys financial resources back into its pipeline of new and innovative drugs in order to generate substantial added value for the companys shareholders. However, it is managements intention that the shareholders should benefit from the companys strong financial position, also in the short term. Consequently, the Supervisory Board has resolved to utilise the authority granted by the shareholders at the annual general meeting to purchase treasury shares. Moreover, the Supervisory Board has resolved to recommend to the annual general meeting that dividend payments be raised to a level that conforms to industry practice. The buy-back programme, dimensioned with due consideration to Lundbecks relatively moderate free flow of 27%, will have a ceiling of DKK 400 million. As the company is expected to continue to generate a substantial free cash flow in the coming years, additional share buy-backs could well become relevant also in future. Following the approval at the last general meeting on April 8th, 2003, the Supervisory Board is authorized to acquire its own shares of up to 10% of the share capital in accordance with the authorisation and section 48 of the Company Act. On March 10th, 2004, the company has announced that it will conduct a share buyback program up to a maximum of DKK 400 million through a designated bank and in accordance within the 10% authorisation granted at the general meeting from time to time. Shares will be purchased in the market and will be used for the continued development of the companys capital structure and for cancellation at appropriate time. The Lundbeck Foundation will through its wholly owned subsidiary, LFI A/S, participate in the buyback on a pro rata basis, in order to maintain the free float at approx. 27%. It is the companys intention to carry out this program periodically across the year, taking account of market conditions, applicable laws and regulations on share repurchases and best practice in terms of execution. A tax clearance from the relevant Danish tax authorities has been sought in relation to the share buyback program.
