      LAKE FOREST, Ill., Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospira, Inc. (NYSE: HSP), the world's leading provider of injectable drugs and infusion technologies, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2011. For the fourth quarter of 2011, net sales were $1.0 billion, and adjusted* diluted earnings per share were $0.51. For full-year 2011, net sales were $4.1 billion, and adjusted* diluted earnings per share were $3.04. (Adjusted* measures exclude certain specified items as described later in this press release and the attached schedules.)

      "While 2011 was a challenging year as a result of our quality transformation efforts, we met our revised financial expectations, generating over $4 billion in sales, and advanced our remediation efforts," said F. Michael Ball, chief executive officer. "We made significant progress on many fronts during the year, including the launch in the United States of two important oncolytic products and an anti-infective drug, as well as initiating the Phase III U.S. clinical program for our biosimilar erythropoietin. We remain firmly committed to reinforcing our foundation and instilling a culture of high quality throughout the organization, actions we believe will create a strong competitive advantage for Hospira and position us for sustainable, long-term growth and increased shareholder value."

      Results under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) include items as detailed in the schedules attached to this press release.

      Net sales increased 2.2 percent to $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $992 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Continued strong net sales of the oncolytic docetaxel in the United States, as well as several other Specialty Injectable Pharmaceutical products, contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting the growth was the continued impact on net sales of certain quality actions the company undertook to improve the global status of its regulatory compliance, including responding to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) observations and warning letter related to the company's manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, N.C.

      Adjusted* income from operations decreased 21.8 percent to $111 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $142 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of charges and costs associated with certain quality actions and inventory losses.

      Net sales increased 3.6 percent to $4.1 billion for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011. Strong net sales of Specialty Injectable Pharmaceuticals were offset by the impact of the pharmaceutical quality-improvement actions and device-quality issues.

      Adjusted* income from operations decreased 14.7 percent to $669 million for the full year of 2011, compared to $784 million for the full year of 2010. The decline was a result of certain quality actions and inventory losses, as well as a difficult year-over-year margin contribution comparison, driven by strong margin contribution from U.S. net sales of the oncolytic oxaliplatin in 2010, which were only partially offset by U.S. sales of docetaxel in 2011 due to the joint-venture arrangement related to the production of docetaxel.

      Cash Flow

      Cash flow from operations for the full-year 2011 was $434 million, compared to the $315 million in 2010. The increase is a result of lower investments in working capital, offset by lower net income in 2011. Working capital in 2010 was largely affected by the timing of receivable collections and chargeback payments related to U.S. sales of oxaliplatin. In addition, in 2010 the company made a discretionary contribution to the company's U.S. pension plan.

      Capital expenditures were $291 million for the full year, compared to $209 million in 2010, with the majority of additional expenditure in 2011 related to the company's capacity expansion initiatives in Vizag, India.

      2012 Projections

      Hospira expects net sales change for full-year 2012 to be in a range of negative 1 percent to positive 2 percent on a constant-currency basis. The company expects foreign exchange to detract from results by a negative 1 percent, based on current exchange rates.

      Adjusted* diluted earnings per share for 2012 are expected to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.30. The decline relative to the adjusted* diluted earnings per share for 2011 is mainly due to the expected full-year impact of the company's quality-improvement actions as well as increased research and development (R&D) spending in support of the company's global portfolio expansion initiatives. The mid to upper end of the 2012 adjusted* diluted earnings per share projection assumes a gradual improvement in productivity levels at the company's Rocky Mount facility in the second half of the year, as a result of progress related to the company's quality transformation initiatives.

      The reconciliation between the projected 2012 adjusted* diluted earnings per share and GAAP diluted earnings per share follows:

      Diluted earnings per share -- adjusted*

      $2.00 - $2.30



      Estimated amortization of intangible assets related to
      certain acquisitions (mid-point of an estimated range of $0.28 to $0.32 per diluted share)

      ($0.30)



      Estimated charges for certain quality and product-related
      matters (mid-point of an estimated range of $0.50 to $0.62 per diluted share)

      ($0.56)



      Estimated charges related to capacity expansion (mid-point of an estimated range of $0.09 to $0.11 per diluted share)

      ($0.10)



      Diluted earnings per share -- GAAP

      $1.04 - $1.34

      The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release include comparisons at constant currency rates (reflecting comparative local currency balances at prior period foreign exchange rates), which we define as current period net sales excluding the impact of the change in foreign exchange rates less prior period reported net sales divided by prior period reported net sales. This financial measure provides information on the change in net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates have not changed between the prior and the current period. Management believes the use of this financial measure aids in the understanding of our change in net sales without the impact of foreign currency. All Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
