According to Allerganโ€™s announced third quarter 2016 continuing operations performance, its total net revenues are $3.6 billionโ€”a 4% increase versus the prior year quarter.

The companyโ€™s total net revenues of $3.6 billionโ€”a 4% increase versus the prior year quarterโ€”were driven by strong performance from key brands and new product launches, offset by the loss of ASACOL HD exclusivity, lower revenues for NAMENDA XRand IR, a decline in non-promoted Established Brands revenues, and unfavorable foreign exchange impact, states a media release from the company.

“We are focused on finishing 2016 with strong momentum. We are well positioned to leverage our Growth Pharma strategy โ€“ deliver strong, durable top-line growth powered by growing franchises; enhance category leadership driven by innovative, high-value treatments; develop new treatments from our Open Science R&D pipeline; enhance our commitment to customer intimacy; and continue to support growth through operational excellence,” says Brent Saunders, Chairman, CEO and President, Allergan, in the release.

The report notes that the company experienced a GAAP continuing operations loss per share of $1.15 and a non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per share of $3.32. In addition, the company experienced a 7.4% adjusted revenue growth over the prior year quarter, with key promoted brands continuing to grow at double-digit rates. Also, the company announces that it completed a $5 billion share repurchase program ahead of schedule, and will repurchase $10 Billion in accelerated shares and initiate a cash dividend in 2017.
