This excerpt taken from the EYE 10-Q filed May 10, 2006. ReZoom intraocular
lenses and VISX products, along with manufacturing productivity improvements.
This improvement was offset by approximately $3.2 million, or 1.3 percentage
points, inventory and manufacturing related charges incurred in connection with
our business repositioning plan.
As described earlier, we expect our product rationalization and repositioning strategy and supplemental consolidation of certain operations due to IOL manufacturing capabilities and eye care product rationalizations to have a significant impact on our gross margin through the remainder of 2006.
This excerpt taken from the EYE 10-K filed Mar 14, 2006. ReZoom. Net sales
of acquired VISX products were $111.1 million in 2005. Net sales of acquired
Pfizer products were $168.4 million in 2005, compared to $75.8 million in 2004.
The favorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations during the first nine
months of 2005 were offset by a negative impact in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Global sales of our eye care products decreased $27.8 million, or 8.5%, in 2005 from 2004. Sales of our eye care products decreased primarily due to decreased sales of hydrogen peroxide-based products, principally in Europe and Japan, where the migration to single-bottle cleaning regimens continues, and decreased sales of multipurpose solutions in Japan due to an increase in the market for daily disposable lenses. The favorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations during the first nine months of 2005 were offset by a negative impact in the fourth quarter of 2005.
As part of our product rationalization and repositioning plan to maximize our competitive advantage as the global refractive leader and improve the global penetration of our core cataract, refractive and eye care brands, we have discontinued a variety of non-strategic cataract surgical and eye care products that lack critical revenue mass, have experienced steadily declining sales trends and/or have generated relatively unattractive margins. We expect the growth of our promoted products to offset the revenue decline related to these discontinued products.
Net sales for 2004 increased by $140.6 million, or 23.4%, to $742.1 million in 2004 from $601.5 million in 2003. The increase in 2004 was the result of sales of products acquired in the Pfizer Acquisition, sales gains of existing products in both product lines and favorable foreign currency changes. Net sales of acquired products approximated $75.8 million. Foreign currency fluctuations, particularly related to the Japanese yen and the euro, increased sales by $37.5 million, or 6.2%, as compared to average rates in effect in 2003.
Net sales in the Americas, including the United States, increased $39.2 million, or 22.0%, in 2004 from 2003 and such increase was comprised of a $30.1 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $9.1 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in the Americas include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $1.6 million. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $21.0 million in sales of products acquired in the Pfizer Acquisition, including the Healon family of viscoelastics and Tecnis intraocular lenses, and increased sales of the Sensar intraocular lens and phacoemulsification products. The increase in sales of eye care products was primarily due to an increase in sales of Complete branded products.
Net sales in Europe/Africa/Middle East increased $51.6 million, or 24.3%, in 2004 from 2003 and such increase was comprised of a $47.8 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $3.8 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Europe/Africa/Middle East include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $22.0 million primarily due to the strengthening of the euro versus the U.S. dollar. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $31.1 million in sales of products acquired in the Pfizer Acquisition, including the Healon family of viscoelastics and Tecnis intraocular lenses, and increased sales of the Sensar intraocular lens and phacoemulsification products.
Net sales in Japan increased $27.4 million, or 16.7%, in 2004 from 2003 and such increase was comprised of a $16.5 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $10.9 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Japan include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $11.8 million resulting from the strengthening of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $18.2 million in sales of products acquired in the Pfizer Acquisition, including the Healon family of viscoelastics, and increased sales of the Sensar intraocular lens. The increase in sales of eye care products was primarily due to an increase in sales of Complete branded products and hydrogen peroxide-based products.
Net sales in Asia Pacific increased $22.4 million, or 47.8%, in 2004 from 2003 and such increase was comprised of a $12.5 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $9.9 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Asia Pacific include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $2.1 million. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $5.5 million in sales of products acquired in the Pfizer Acquisition, including the Healon family of viscoelastics and | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
