Valeant Pharmaceuticals' Debt Reduction Overshadows Drop in Revenue
One major question Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: VRX) had to answer when the company reported its second-quarter results was this: How significant was the impact of loss of exclusivity for several of its drugs?

Valeant answered this question when the company reported on its second-quarter performance before the market opened on Tuesday. The bigger story, though, related to its debt-reduction efforts. Here are the highlights from Valeant's update.
