Today, Novartis is one of the fastest grow- ing global pharmaceutical companies. Thus, we have overtaken competitors and are now in fifth position in the Global Pharmaceuticals sector. At the same time, we have gained market segment share in all of our other busi- nesses. Let me summarize the key results in 2003: • Increase in group sales of 19% to USD 24.9 billion (+ 11% in local currencies) • Expansion of operating income to USD 5.9 billion (+16%), of net income to USD 5.0 billion (+6%) and of earnings per share by 8% to USD 2.03 • Growth of free cash flow by 23% to USD 3.6 billion • Pharmaceutical sales climbed 18% with the especially successful enlargement of our product line in Oncology (+36%) and Cardiovascular medicine (+36%), combined with a further rejuvenation of our product portfolio • Dynamic growth of our Consumer Health business (+24%) and particularly of our Generics business, Sandoz (+60%) • Expansion of our development pipeline to 79 projects, of which 34 are in late stage development or registration • Extension of our access to medicine programs for uninsured and indigent patients suffering from leprosy, malaria, tuberculosis, chronic myeloid leukemia and other diseases. We attribute our success to our clear focus on sustain- able growth, our corresponding, consistently innovation- oriented strategy, and the capabilities and commitment of our associates. Accordingly, we see our investments in Research and Development as being of primary impor- tance. Last year we increased our investment in Research and Development by 32%. In Pharmaceuticals alone, we invested more than USD 3 billion in 2003 to discover and develop innovative medicines, and to improve treatments for patients. The first phase in the buildup of our new research center in Cambridge, Massachusetts was success- fully completed. Nearly 400 scientists are already working in the new laboratories. In 2004, we will continue the expan- sion. This demands continued over-proportional invest- ments that will yield mid- to long-term returns. Novartis Group 5 Our development pipeline is among the best in the world, Elidel, our eczema treatment; as well as to the attractive based on quality and productivity.
