HIGHLIGHTS OF FIRST QUARTER



The non-proprietary medicines increased mainly due to price increases on some of them.

The OTC specialties decreased, especially in France, Russia and Italy, within the context of a low level of winter illnesses.

Boiron Canada is facing two class action proceedings. At this preliminary stage, these two proceedings are being reviewed.
