The business performance results are summarised below. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE RESULTS ---------------------------- Increase Increase ------------ 9 months ------------ Q3 2001 CER% £% 2001 CER% £% £m £m ------- ------------ ------ ------------ Sales 4,994 12 13 14,873 10 14 Trading profit 1,416 18 20 4,327 14 20 Profit before tax 1,349 16 17 4,439 12 17 Earnings per share 15.8p 18 20 52.0p 14 20 Q3 2001 HIGHLIGHTS ------------------ - Pharmaceutical sales up 13% (excluding divested products). - All regions performing strongly with sales growth in the USA 14%; Europe 8%; Rest of World 18%. - New products up 59% to over £1 billion, representing 24% of sales. - Respiratory business up 36% to £871 million. - Over two million prescriptions written in the USA for Seretide/Advair since launch in April. - £4 billion share buy-back programme announced. - GSK on track to deliver 2001 earnings per share growth target of around 13% CER. Commenting on the performance for the third quarter, Jean-Pierre Garnier, Chief Executive Officer, said:- 'GlaxoSmithKline had a strong third quarter, delivering sustained growth across all regions. I am especially pleased to see the way our new products (up 59%) continue to help drive this growth - the performance of Seretide/Advair, in particular, was excellent. Our respiratory and anti-viral franchises also performed strongly this quarter. We are on track to deliver our earnings per share growth target of around 13% CER for the year and remain confident we will achieve our earnings guidance for 2002 of mid-teens earnings per share growth at comparable exchange rates.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Business performance results exclude merger items, integration and restructuring costs and disposals of subsidiaries. Growth rates are at constant exchange rates (CER) unless otherwise stated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pharmaceuticals --------------- Pharmaceuticals sales growth for the quarter, excluding divested products, was 13% with all regions performing strongly. Sales in the USA grew 14% to £2.2 billion. Although US wholesaler stocking patterns affected sales growth rates of some products, the underlying growth for the US business in total is broadly consistent with reported sales growth. In Europe, sales grew 8% to £1.1 billion and in the Rest of World sales increased 18% to £0.9 billion. All regions benefited from continued growth in the key therapy areas of central nervous system (CNS), respiratory and anti-virals as well as strong performances from new products Seretide/Advair and Avandia. CNS - continued strong underlying growth with sales of £983 million ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Seroxat/Paxil sales were in line with last year. Strong growth in Europe,up 12% and Rest of the World, up 55% offset a 10% decline in the USA. Despite good underlying demand in the USA, sales growth was negatively affected by wholesaler buying patterns. Seroxat/Paxil is currently the only SSRI approved in the USA for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and a DTC campaign for this new indication was launched at the beginning of October. Wellbutrin sales grew 40% to £168 million and sales for Imigran/Imitrex increased 9% to £198 million. Imigran/Imitrex tablets were launched successfully in Japan and achieved sales of over £6 million in just one month on the market. Respiratory products - Seretide/Advair, Serevent and Flixotide/Flovent grew 53% to over £600 million ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Seretide/Advair sales were £240 million. In the USA, more than two million prescriptions have been written for Seretide/Advair since its launch in April. The speed at which patients have adopted Seretide/Advair in the USA makes it the most successfully launched asthma treatment in the past decade. Seretide/Advair continues to drive growth in Europe. An indication for the use of Seretide/Advair to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was filed in Europe in September, following the US filing in May. The three key products - Seretide/Advair, Serevent, Flixotide/Flovent - grew 74% in the USA; 35% in Europe and 37% in the Rest of the World. Anti-bacterial sales over £500m ------------------------------- Total sales of anti-bacterial products were £543 million, with Augmentin contributing £278 million. Despite good underlying demand in the USA, sales of Augmentin at £168 million were in line with last year, negatively affected by wholesaler buying patterns. New Augmentin ES (extra strength), the only product with an indication to treat children at risk of otitis media caused by antibiotic resistant strep. pneumoniae, was launched in the USA in October. Anti-viral sales up 15% to over £530 million - driven by HIV products and Valtrex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total HIV sales were £340 million, up 16%. US sales were up 11% to £203 million, driven by strong uptake of Trizivir, the new HIV triple combination product. Sales in Europe, up 17%, and the Rest of World, up 48%, improved as a result of further launches of Trizivir and strong performances by Ziagen. Valtrex sales were £89 million, up 54%. Sales in the USA grew to £55 million, helped by the new 3-day indication for recurrent genital herpes. Strong performance from Avandia drives metabolic and gastro-intestinal sales ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total sales of metabolic and gastro-intestinal products were up 24% to £400 million. Sales for Avandia were up 94% to £226 million, inflated by advanced US wholesaler stocking. Total US prescription growth for Avandia was 30% for the quarter reflecting increased acceptance of the product in the oral diabetes market. Zantac sales continued to decline in most markets. Cardiovascular and Oncology sales growth driven by Coreg and Zofran ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total sales for Coreg grew 24% to £60 million. In the USA, Coreg received an approvable letter from the FDA for the treatment of severe heart failure. Coreg is the only beta-blocking agent that has clinical data showing survival in severe heart failure patients. In oncology, Zofran sales increased 20% to £153 million owing to new growth in the post operative market. Vaccines - worldwide sales grew 9% ---------------------------------- Total vaccines sales were up 9% to £241 million. Infanrix (our new DTPa range of combination vaccines) was up 28% to £54 million. Other vaccines, including Priorix, Tritanrix and Typherix, all achieved strong growth of over 30%. Growth from these vaccines more than offset an 8% decline in the hepatitis portfolio. Pipeline -------- GSK has completed a review and prioritisation of its product development portfolio and today issued an update of its product pipeline. The company currently has 113 projects in clinical development, which include 50 new chemical entities (NCE's), 22 new vaccines and 41 line extensions. The review of the portfolio has concluded that GI262570, a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, did not meet its target profile. Development of the compound for this indication has now ceased and alternative indications are being explored. GSK continues to actively pursue external collaborations to further enhance its product development pipeline and has initiated six new collaborations, so far, in 2001. In the third quarter, GSK completed an agreement to form a joint venture with Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and a collaboration to research, develop and commercialise several compounds with Tanabe Seiyaku Co. Ltd. During the quarter, regulatory filings were made in Europe for Seretide/Advair to treat COPD and dutasteride for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Consumer Healthcare ------------------- Consumer Healthcare sales grew 27% to £810 million; sales excluding Block Drug grew 4% to £663 million. Worldwide sales of oral care products, excluding Block Drug, were £165 million, up 1%; US sales were down 15%, but in Europe sales were up 9%, benefiting from new product launches. Block Drug added oral care product sales of £111 million. Nutritional Healthcare products increased 13% to £153 million, led by strong growth from Lucozade, Ribena and Horlicks. Worldwide sales of over-the-counter medicines were £381 million. The performance of smoking control products improved, up 2%, as a result of stabilisation of market share in the USA and a strong performance in Europe. Sales of Analgesic products, up 39%, were also drivers of growth in this category. Consumer Healthcare trading profit increased 27%, reflecting sales growth and the contribution from Block Drug. Share Buy-Back Programme ------------------------ GSK plans to spend up to L4 billion buying its shares in the market. The programme covers purchases by the company's employee trusts relating to share option grants and other share based incentives, of which £0.7 billion has already been spent in 2001. It also covers purchases by the company of shares for cancellation. The exact amount and timing of future purchases will be determined by the company and is dependent on market conditions and other factors. Merger & Restructuring ---------------------- GSK continues to implement the manufacturing restructuring plans initiated by both SmithKline Beecham and Glaxo Wellcome, and is proceeding with the integration of the SB and GW businesses in accordance with the merger plans developed during 2000. Merger savings in excess of £400 million are expected in 2001. Costs of £659 million were incurred in the quarter in respect of the merger, integration and restructuring and disposal of subsidiaries. After tax relief of £73 million, the net charge was £586 million. Together with business performance earnings of £960 million, this produces total earnings of £374 million for the quarter. Trading Profit and Earnings Per share ------------------------------------- Trading profit growth was 18%, reflecting improved trading margins. The trading margin improved 1.7% to 28.4% as a result of cost savings from merger integration, partly offset by the divestment of certain high margin products required by regulatory authorities as a condition of the merger. Third quarter EPS was up 18% in CER terms and 20% in sterling terms, benefiting from favourable exchange rates in the USA and Europe. Dividend -------- The Board has declared a third quarter interim dividend of 9 pence per share. The equivalent dividend receivable by ADR holders is 25.584 cents per ADS based on an exchange rate of £1/$1.42133. The dividend will be paid on 3rd January 2002 to shareholders and ADR holders of record on 2nd November 2001. GlaxoSmithKline - one of the world's leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies - is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.

The revenue lost from products divested at the end of 2000 to fulfil regulatory conditions for the Glaxo Wellcome/SmithKline Beecham merger, principally Kytril and Famvir, is more than offset by the additional revenue from the acquired Block Drug portfolio. Pharmaceutical sales -------------------- Sales of existing portfolio products increased 13%, which represents additional sales of £480 million (in CER). An analysis of sales between new products (those launched in a major market within the last five years), franchise products (established products), and older products now less actively promoted is set out below: Q3 2001 ---------------------------------- £m % total CER% CER £m ----- ----- ----- ----- New 1,003 24 59 365 Franchise 2,250 54 8 172 Other 931 22 (6) (57) ----- ----- ----- ----- 4,184 100 13 480 ===== ===== ===== ===== The growth of the new products, notably Seretide/Advair and Avandia, more than offsets the decline of older products, such as Zantac and they build an increasing share of the total portfolio. Regional analysis ----------------- In the third quarter 54% of the Group's total pharmaceutical revenue was earned in the USA where overall sales growth was 14%. Advair (Seretide) for asthma recorded sales approaching £100m in the quarter and Wellbutrin also continued its strong growth record. A number of products were impacted by changes in wholesaler stocking patterns, some, such as Avandia, beneficially, others, such as Paxil and Augmentin, adversely. The net effect of these buying patterns in the quarter is not considered to be material. Zantac sales continued to decline in the face of increased generic competition. Europe region sales accounted for 25% of the Group's total pharmaceutical sales. Seretide was the major driver of the 8% overall sales growth in the region. The continued strength of Seroxat/Paxil together with growth of the HIV portfolio, particularly Trizivir, offset declines in a number of other products. France, Italy and Spain all returned good performances in the quarter. Sales growth of 18% in the Rest of the World, an improvement on the second quarter results, reflected better conditions in most markets, notably India and Latin America, and a number of tender orders in the Middle East and Africa. Japan continued to perform well with sales growth in the quarter of 20%, driven by the recent launches of Paxil, Valtrex and Imigran tablets. Trading profit - business performance ------------------------------------- Q3 2001 Q3 2000 -------------- -------------- Growth 2000 £m % £m % CER% £m ----- ------ ----- ----- ----- ----- Sales 4,994 100.0 4,429 100.0 12 18,079 Cost of sales (1,071) (21.4) (919) (20.7) (16) (3,811) Selling, general and (1,867) (37.4) (1,690) (38.2) (9) (6,732) administration Research and development (640) (12.8) (636) (14.4) 1 (2,510) ----- ------ ----- ----- ----- ----- Trading profit 1,416 28.4 1,184 26.7 18 5,026 ===== ====== ===== ===== ===== ===== Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales as the loss of the high-margin products divested in December 2000 and the inclusion of lower margin Block Drug products were only partly offset by the benefits of merger and manufacturing restructuring savings. Selling, general and administration (SG&A) costs also benefited from merger savings, principally in general and administration expenditure, but the inclusion of Block Drug costs distorts the quarterly comparison. Excluding Block Drug expenses, growth in SG&A costs would have been 5% and SG&A expressed as a percentage of sales would have been 1.3% lower. Research and development expenditure increased at below the rate of sales growth. It is expected that growth in research and development costs will increase as merger savings begin to be reinvested in this area. Overall the trading margin improved 1.7%, which is consistent with expectations of an improvement for the full year of up to 2%.

Net interest payable was lower due to a lower average level of net debt in Q3 2001 than in Q3 2000 and to lower interest rates. Overall profit before tax increased by 16%.

It includes a £299 million write off of goodwill which has no net effect on Group reserves.

This represents a reduction compared to the effective rate of 27.3% in the full year 2000. The credit for taxation on merger items, integration and restructuring costs and disposal of subsidiaries in Q3 2001 reflects the estimated actual tax rate applicable to the transactions in the territories in which they arise.
