Growth was broadly based on products and markets, and the acquisitions undertaken made a positive contribution to this development. In mid-October, the competent European authorities for medicinal products approved ALK's new adrenaline pen, JEXT®, for the treatment of severe, acute allergic reactions. ALK expects to launch JEXT® on the first European markets in the months ahead. Expectations for 2010 unchanged For the 2010 financial year, including the impact of acquisitions undertaken, ALK still anticipates growth of 9-12% in sales of allergy vaccines, measured in local currencies. Similarly, ALK still expects a gain of 10-15% in operating profit (EBITDA and EBIT).
