“We are very pleased with both 2011′s fourth quarter and full-year performance. The successful execution of our strategic plans and changes we have implemented are reflected in these solid financial results,” Taro’s interim CEO Jim Kedrowski stated in the press release. “The company’s performance across all markets was very positive; however, a significant portion of the quarter’s growth in net sales and profits was derived from price increases on select products in the U.S. market and may not be sustainable.”
Taro also noted that in the fourth quarter of 2011 the company filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for one product with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For the full year, Taro filed ANDAs for three products and has received approval for ANDAs representing seven products. In addition, the company awaits FDA approval for ANDAs for 23 products and one New Drug Application.
