Our Commentary: Updated 13th February 2013
CSL has released its first-half results, with its profit of US$632 million beating market expectations and weighing in 25% higher than a year before.
The result was driven by royalties from its drug to prevent cervical cancer and increased market share after its competitor closed down part of its operations. Stripping out the effect of currency rates, CSL expects profit to rise by around 20% and EPS to grow by about 24% in FY13.
CSL announced an unfranked interim dividend of 50 cents per share—higher than the prior corresponding period’s 37.57 cents—to be payable on 5 April 2013.
