"We once again exceeded our guidance and delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of greater than 15% organic growth," stated J. Michael Pearson, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our strong second quarter results were driven by outperformance in our U.S. businesses, strong results in certain emerging markets and outstanding starts to both the Salix and Dendreon acquisitions. In addition, we have signed eight new transactions so far this year and have realized several significant R&D milestones, including the approval of Xifaxan for IBS-D and the NDA submissions for Vesneo and Relistor Oral. As a result, we feel confident in raising our guidance for the remainder of 2015."
