What were the primary drivers of revenue growth in the first quarter of 2011?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by the Companion Animal Group (CAG) segment, with increases in instruments and consumables sales, and strong performance in reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services. The Livestock and Poultry Diagnostics (LPD) segment also saw significant growth.

How did the company manage its expenses and what was the impact on profitability?

Overall operating expenses increased by 7.9% to $101.4 million. However, revenue growth outpaced expense growth, leading to an 10.5% increase in operating income to $53.5 million. Profitability was further supported by a slight decrease in the effective income tax rate and robust net income growth.

What is the company's outlook regarding economic conditions and their impact?

Management indicated that while economic conditions have affected demand, particularly in the CAG and Water segments, the company's diverse product offerings and geographic reach are expected to mitigate some of the negative impacts. They anticipate continued pressure from slow economic growth and cautious consumer sentiment but remain focused on executing their strategies for growth.

Are there any significant legal or regulatory matters that investors should be aware of?

The company disclosed ongoing investigations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) concerning marketing and sales practices for companion animal veterinary products and services. While the company believes its practices are compliant, the duration and outcome of these investigations are unpredictable.
