Marketing and sales spend increased in the quarter to support the global launch of Menveo. In addition, there was higher research and development investment to accelerate MenB and early pipeline candidates.
En outre, il y a eu un accroissement de l’investissement en R&D, afin d’accélérer développement de MenB et de candidats en pipeline à un stade avancé.

Research & Development investments rose at a slower pace than net sales in the quarter, falling 0.4 percentage points to 23.0% of net sales compared to the 2007 period, which included partial impairments of various In-Process R&D assets.
Au quatrième trimestre, les investissements en R&D ont augmenté moins vite que le chiffre d’affaires net en baissant à 23,0% du chiffre d’affaires net, soit de 0,4 point de pourcentage par comparaison avec quatrième trimestre 2007. Celui-ci incluait en effet des pertes de valeur partielles d’actifs R&D acquis.

In particular, as discussed in notes 4 and 11 of the 2009 Annual Report, investments in associated companies and intangible assets (including goodwill and acquired In-Process Research & Development projects) are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or whenever an event or decision occurs that raises concern about their balance sheet carrying value.
Comme l’indiquent également les notes 4 et 11 du Rapport annuel 2009, les investissements dans les entreprises associées et les immobilisations incorporelles (y compris le goodwill et les projets acquis qui sont intégrés dans le processus de recherche et développement) font l’objet d’un test de dépréciation au moins une fois par an ou dès lors qu’un événement ou une décision les concernant suscitent des doutes quant à leur valeur inscrite au bilan.

These impacts however were more than offset by a number of positive factors, including: Marketing & Sales costs, which were lower by 0.4 percentage points due to productivity improvements partly offset by investments in growth areas; R&D costs, which decreased (improving +1.2 percentage points) as productivity savings funded continued investment in the development of differentiated generics; General & Administration costs, which decreased (+1.1 percentage points) due to ongoing cost reduction measures; and Other Income and Expenses, which were positive at 0.5 percentage points due to lower legal fees.
Cependant, ces impacts ont été plus que compensés par un certain nombre de facteurs positifs, notamment: une baisse de 0,4 point de pourcentage des coûts de Marketing et vente due à des gains de productivité en partie contrebalancés par des investissements dans des domaines en pleine croissance; une diminution des coûts de Recherche et développement (amélioration +1,2 point), des gains de productivité servant à financer des investissements continus dans le développement de génériques différenciés; un abaissement des coûts d’Administration et frais généraux (+1,1 point) grâce à des mesures continues de réduction des coûts; une progression de 0,5 point d'Autres produits et charges suite à une baisse des frais juridiques.

R&D investments (+1.0 percentage points) were lower as productivity initiatives more than offset investments in development programs for biosimilars as well as other differentiated generics, including oncology injectables and respiratory products.
Les investissements en R&D (+1,0 point de pourcentage) ont diminué car les gains de productivité ont plus que compensé les investissements dans les programmes de développement de biosimilaires ainsi que d’autres génériques différenciés, comprenant les injectables en oncologie et les produits contre les maladies des voies respiratoires.

R&D investments were flat as a percentage of net sales as investments were made in new product development across the businesses. General & Administrative costs (–0.3 percentage points) increased in the 2010 period as a result of a provision release in 2009, while Other Income & Expense (+0.1 percentage points) were largely unchanged compared to the 2009 period.
En pourcentage du chiffre d’affaires net, les investissements en R&D sont restés stables et ont été consacrés au développement de produits dans les trois secteurs d’activité Les charges d’administration et de frais généraux (-0,3 point de pourcentage) ont augmenté en raison de la reprise d’une provision en 2009, alors que les autres produits et charges (+0,1 point de pourcentage) sont restés inchangés par rapport au premier trimestre 2009.
