GlaxoSmithKline Sales Down in Q3 against Good Underlying Momentum
in the Business
LONDON, October 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
GlaxoSmithKline released third quarter results today with
Finance Director Simon Dingemans
saying the pharma group was on course to deliver growth in Q4 and
sales "broadly in line" with the previous year.
In a video interview Mr Dingemans said while factors such as
costs from disposals and weak European sales had added to a
difficult quarter where total sales were down 5%, performances from
promoted and new products plus R&D developments meant
shareholders saw dividends up 6% year-on-year.
"I think we're pleased with the progress that the growth drivers
and the core strategic businesses are making and I think overall
that leaves us feeling that we have good momentum going into the
fourth quarter."
