Summary

Johnson & Johnson reported solid performance for the period ending July 4, 2010, with total sales reaching $30.96 billion for the first six months, a 2.3% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by international markets, which saw a 9.0% increase in sales, partially offset by a 3.9% decline in U.S. sales. The company's pharmaceutical segment demonstrated resilience, with a 1.0% increase in sales for the quarter and a slight decrease for the six-month period, supported by strong performance in key products like REMICADE® and RISPERDAL® CONSTA®. The Medical Devices & Diagnostics segment was a significant growth driver, posting an 8.2% increase in sales for the six months, fueled by strong performance in DePuy, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, and Ethicon. However, the Consumer segment experienced a 2.0% sales decline for the six-month period, impacted by product recalls and a suspension of production at a key facility. Net earnings for the quarter were $3.45 billion, or $1.23 per diluted share, showing an improvement from the prior year's quarter. The company also continued its commitment to shareholder returns, increasing its cash dividend.
