German generic drug maker Stada posted a 7 percent rise in nine-month adjusted core earnings, as higher sales of drugs in Russia offset a decline in its domestic market.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, rose to 284 million euros ($397 million) in the first nine months of 2013, just shy of market expectations for 287 million euros.
Stada still sees high single-digit percentage growth in full-year adjusted EBITDA and it confirmed its target for 2014 net income of 215 million euros, up from 86.5 million in 2012.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
