Perrigo's Chairman and CEO Joseph C. Papa commented, "We delivered record earnings for the quarter, with strong performance across all business segments. Cash flow from operations continues to be strong as we generated $38 million during a period when we are preparing for the cough, cold, flu season. Store brands grew nearly 13% during a period when the over-the-counter (OTC) category grew only 3%. Rx sales continued to gain market share as a result of our strong investment in quality and high customer service levels along with the continued growth of over-the-counter Rx (ORx) sales. We continue to make quality healthcare more affordable at a time when consumers need to save money more than ever."
