the March 26, 2007, acquisition of nine generic prescription products and
four pipeline products from Glades Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Refer to Table II
at the end of this press release for additional non-GAAP disclosure
information.)
    Perrigo President and CEO Joseph C. Papa stated, "In fiscal 2007 we
achieved record sales in every segment, had record earnings for our fourth
quarter and announced two strategic acquisitions designed to increase our
return on invested capital. This performance allowed us to significantly
increase our research and development investment by funding an incremental
$14 million versus last year. It was another strong new product year with
$77 million in new product sales, led by smoking cessation. On top of that,
we also introduced $59 million of newly reformulated products to the
market, all the while improving our customer service levels and investing
in our quality systems. The Rx and API segments outperformed our
expectations in highly competitive markets.
    We exit fiscal 2007 with a stronger balance sheet, lower net debt and
operating cash flow of $128.9 million. I am proud of the progress our team
has made in the course of this fiscal year."
