"In 2009, Lilly has once again exhibited strong performance in a tough environment, and we've continued with a series of actions aimed at speeding innovation to patients and delivering greater value to our customers," said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly's president and chief executive officer. "Through these actions and more, we are transforming Lilly to compete and to win in an ever more demanding and challenging environment. We see a divergence of strategies among our peers to deal with these challenges, including the wave of consolidation this year. Many companies are seeking to lower risk by reducing their focus on innovative medicines. This is not our path. Our strategy is to create value by accelerating the flow of innovative new medicines that provide improved outcomes for individual patients. We aim to discover, develop, or acquire innovative new therapies - medicines that make a real difference for patients and deliver clear value for payers."
Lilly has moved into the ninth spot among the top 10 ranked companies in pharmaceutical sales. This was reported by IMS Health data(1), for the 12 months ending June 2009. Lilly appears to be the fastest growing globally as well as the fastest growing in the US and major Europe. Also, Lilly is the fourth-fastest growing the pharmerging markets, and the sixth-fastest growing in Japan.
