“This was a very positive quarter for Watson, capping off what proved to be a watershed year for the Company,” said Paul Bisaro, President and Chief Executive Officer of Watson.  “We demonstrated strong performance in all our divisions, delivered on the aggressive goals and strategic initiatives we set at the outset of 2008, and continued to provide shareholder value while building our pipelines, efficiencies and momentum for 2009 and beyond.”
 
“While we made significant progress on each of our initiatives and in each of our divisions, the biggest news of 2008 came from the Brand division where we received first cycle approvals on two new products and had one new NDA accepted by the FDA, putting us in the unique position to potentially introduce three new brand products in 2009 to treat the top three conditions in urology -- a specialty focus for Watson.  This accomplishment speaks volumes about the high quality and efficiency of our R&D and regulatory groups, and signals our ability and commitment to growing and expanding our business across divisions and around the globe,” concluded Mr. Bisaro.
