  • Transition program in the US from Vivaglobin[®] well progressed

  • GARDASIL[® ] (Human Papillomavirus Vaccine)

  • Australian TGA approval for males up to age 26 for the prevention of external genital lesions

  • US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the prevention of anal cancer and anal intraepithelial neoplasia in males and females 9 through 26 years of age. .

Dr McNamee, CSL’s Managing Director, said “Our underlying business has continued to grow. We have reached a number of important milestones in the development of our existing portfolio that will support continued growth. These include licensing into new geographic and patient markets. Given the challenges of currency headwinds, Government healthcare reforms and continuing weak economic conditions in a number of countries where we operate, this is a noteworthy achievement.

“The success of our novel A (H1N1) influenza or ‘swine flu’ vaccine, Panvax[®] , in the prior comparable period was a one-off contribution and, as foreshadowed, resulted in a decline in our headline profit.

“Our portfolio of immunoglobulins performed particularly well. Transition programs to new generation products, Privigen[®] and Hizentra[®] , are well underway and construction of additional production capacity to accommodate growth is complete. Applications for approval of this additional capacity have been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration,” Dr McNamee said.

OUTLOOK (at 09/10 exchange rates)

Commenting on CSL’s outlook, Dr McNamee said “Trading conditions in the second half of this financial year are expected to remain similar. The Company remains well positioned with a broad portfolio of products, a global market reach, and a very strong balance sheet.

“At the Annual General Meeting in October 2010 we provided guidance for a net profit after tax of between $980 million and $1,030 million, at fiscal 09/10 exchange rates. We now anticipate the result to be at the top of this range which represents a ~10%

growth in underlying[2] profit when compared to the full year 2010. Using current exchange rates, net profit after tax for FY2011 is expected to be approximately $950 million, recognising that there are a number of items that fall unevenly between the first half and second half of the financial year,” Dr McNamee said.

In compiling the Company’s financial forecasts for the year ending 30 June 2011 a number of key variables which may have a significant impact on guidance have been identified and these have been included in the footnote[3] below. To assist investors in determining the impact of movement in key currency pairs, we have provided with our results materials a foreign currency sensitivity analysis. The materials have also been posted on the Company’s website www.csl.com.au

BUSINESS REVIEW

Results overview

CSL Behring sales of US$1.6 billion grew 8% on a constant currency[4] basis when compared to the six months ended 31 December 2009. Sales contribution from the immunoglobulins product portfolio underpinned this growth.

Immunoglobulins grew 22% in constant currency[4] terms of which approximately half was driven by volume growth with the balance coming from a shift in sales mix and demand for Hizentra[®] , the Company’s next generation subcutaneous immunoglobulin. Privigen[®] (10% liquid intravenous immunoglobulin) now accounts for almost 60% of immunoglobulin sold. A proportion of the growth in sales of immunoglobulin is attributed to the withdrawal of a competitor from the market place. The length of time of this withdrawal is unknown.

2 Excludes the one-off contribution from the sale of pandemic influenza vaccine (H1N1) in the prior comparable period and the impact of foreign exchange movements in the period under review.

3 Key variables which may have a significant impact on guidance include material price and volume movements on core plasma products, competitor activity, changes in healthcare regulations and reimbursement policies, royalties arising from the sale of Human Papillomavirus vaccine, implementation of the Company’s influenza strategy and plasma therapy life cycle management strategies, enforcement of key intellectual property, regulatory risk, litigation, the effective tax rate and foreign exchange movements.

4 Constant currency removes the impact of exchange rate movements to facilitate comparability

The Critical Care segment, including Asian sales[5] , grew 5% in constant currency terms underpinned by volume growth of albumin, particularly in the US and China. Specialty products, primarily Berinert[® ] P (C-1 esterase inhibitor), also made a significant contribution.

Haemophilia sales declined 2% in constant currency terms. Volume growth in plasma derived FVIII grew 5% but was offset by competitive pressure, particularly in European markets. Also contributing to the decline has been an increase in patients covered by Medicaid in the US giving rise to additional rebates payable by CSL Behring.

CSL Biotherapies sales of $375 million grew 4% on an underlying[6] basis when compared to the six months ended 31 December 2009. The prior period included a one-off contribution of $160 million from novel A (H1N1) influenza (swine flu) vaccine sales.

Underlying growth during the period was driven by the Australian plasma therapies business however this was offset by challenges in seasonal influenza vaccine arising from a delayed entry in the US market and our non-participation in the paediatric market.

Business development

Hizentra[®] (Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human) 20% Liquid) Extended shelf life

On 18 August 2010 the US FDA approved a supplemental Biologics Licence Application to extend the shelf life of Hizentra[®] , Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Liquid, from 18 month to 24 months. Hizentra[®] the first and only 20% subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) approved in the US by the FDA is also the first and only SCIg in the US that may be stored at room temperature.

Subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement therapy provides patients with the convenience of self infusion in the comfort of their own home. This new formulation will

further add to patient convenience through reduced infusion time and greater portability.

Transition to Hizentra[®] well progressed

CSL Behring recently announced that as a result of the strong uptake of Hizentra[®] in the US, Vivaglobin[®] will be discontinued in the United States by the end of calendar year 2011. CSL Behring will continue to manufacture Vivaglobin[®] for European and Canadian markets.

New Biotech Facility

On 16 July 2010 CSL announced a major biotechnology project at CSL’s manufacturing site in Broadmeadows, Australia. The centrepiece of the project will be the creation of Victoria’s first large scale biotechnology facility for the late stage development of new therapies for cancer, bleeding disorders and inflammation. Construction of the facility commenced in November 2010.

Berinert[®] (C1-Esterase Inhibitor), now licensed in 30 countries

On 27 January 2011 CSL Behring announced that it had been granted national marketing authorisation in Israel to market Berinert[®] for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in any body location. With this most recent approval Berinert[®] is now licensed in 30 countries, including Europe, Japan , North America, South America and Australia.

ISCOMATRIX[®] adjuvant

During the period CSL signed a worldwide research license and option agreement with Pfizer Inc., granting certain rights and options for the use of CSL’s ISCOMATRIX[®] adjuvant. Building on the License and Option Agreement signed between CSL and Wyeth in 2006, and following the acquisition of Wyeth by Pfizer, this new agreement significantly expands the breadth of use of ISCOMATRIX® adjuvant in Pfizer’s pipeline of investigational vaccine products for infectious diseases and other indications.

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine - GARDASIL[®7]

  • In October 2010, the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) approved the extension of the indication for GARDASIL[®] to include males up to 26 years of age for the prevention of external genital lesions and infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).

CSL Biotherapies has submitted data to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to support the licensing of GARDASIL[®] in Australia for prevention of anal cancer and AIN, with approval expected mid calendar year 2011.

  • In November 2010, CSL Biotherapies submitted an application in Australia for government funding of GARDASIL to include males on the National Immunisation Program.

Review of Operations

In the half year ended 31 December 2010, total sales revenue of the Group was $2.1 billion, up 7% on an underlying[1] basis when compared to the same period last year. Net profit after tax was $500 million. This result included an unfavourable foreign exchange impact of $47 million[2] . Net operating cash flow was $408 million. Net profit after tax in the prior comparable period was $617 million which included a one-off contribution from the sale of pandemic influenza vaccine (H1N1).

CSL Behring sales of US$1.6 billion grew 8% on a constant currency[3] basis when compared to the six months ended 31 December 2009. Sales contribution from the immunoglobulins product portfolio underpinned this growth.

Immunoglobulins grew 22% in constant currency[3] terms of which approximately half was driven by volume growth with the balance coming from a shift in sales mix and demand for Hizentra[®] , the company’s next generation subcutaneous immunoglobulin. Privigen[®] (10% liquid intravenous immunoglobulin) now accounts for almost 60% of immunoglobulin sold. A proportion of the growth in sales of immunoglobulin is attributed to the withdrawal of a competitor from the market place. The length of time of this withdrawal is unknown.

The Critical Care segment, including Asian sales[4] , grew 5% in constant currency terms underpinned by volume growth of albumin, particularly in the US and China. Specialty products, primarily Berinert[® ] P (C-1 Esterase Inhibitor), also made a significant contribution.

Haemophilia sales declined 2% in constant currency terms. Volume growth in plasma derived FVIII grew 5% offset by competitive pressure, particularly in European markets. Also contributing to the decline was an increase in patients covered by Medicaid in the US giving rise to additional rebates payable by CSL Behring.

Underlying growth during the period was driven by the Australian plasma therapies business however this was offset by challenges in seasonal influenza vaccine arising from a delayed entry in the US market and our non-participation in the paediatric market..

CSL Limited and its controlled entities Notes to the financial statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2010

1 Corporate Information

The financial report of CSL Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 16 February 2011. CSL Limited is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares, which are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report. The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of CSL Limited as at 30 June 2010.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by CSL Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under ASX listing rules.

(b) Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards, including AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, and land and buildings.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010.

(d)

Basis of Consolidation

The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CSL Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2010 ('the Group').

Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Share based payments reserve

The share based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options and performance rights issued but not exercised.

(ii) Foreign currency translation reserve

The results of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars at average exchange rates. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at balance date and resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

14 Share Based Payment Plans

(a) Long Term Incentives

On 1 October 2010, 216,420 share options and 284,420 performance rights were granted to senior executives under the CSL Performance Rights Plan. The exercise price of the options of $33.45 is equal to the 5 day volume weighted average market price of CSL Limited shares as traded on the Australian Stock Exchange in the one week before and ending on the grant date. The exercise price for the performance rights is Nil. The options and performance rights will become exercisable between 30 September 2013 and 30 September 2015. The fair value of the options and performance rights granted is estimated as at the date of grant using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options and performance rights were granted. The following table lists the inputs to the model used for options and performance rights issued in the half-year ended 31 December 2010:

December
2010
Dividend yield (%) 2.5%
Expected volatility (%) 30.0%

Fair Value of Options
3 year vesting $8.46
4 year vesting $8.90
Fair Value of Performance Rights
3 year vesting $26.59
4 year vesting $26.23

(b) Executive Deferred Incentive Plan

On 1 October 2010, 512,350 phantom shares were granted to employees under the Executive Deferred Incentive Plan. This plan provides for a grant of phantom shares which will generate a cash payment to participants in three years time, provided they are still employed by the company and receive a satisfactory performance review over that period. The amount of the cash payment will be determined by reference to the CSL share price immediately before the three year anniversary.

The following table lists the inputs to the model used for grants issued in the half-year ended 31 December 2010:

15 Commitments and contingencies

Litigation

The Group is involved in litigation in the U.S. claiming that the Group and a competitor, along with an industry trade association, conspired to restrict output and fix and raise prices of certain plasma-derived therapies in the U.S. The lawsuits, filed by representative plaintiffs, seek status to proceed as class actions on behalf of ‘all others similarly situated’. The Group believes the litigation is unsupported by fact and without merit and will robustly defend the claims.

The Group is involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business.

The directors believe that future payment of a material amount in respect of litigation is remote. An estimate of the financial effect of this litigation cannot be calculated as it is not practicable at this stage. The Group has disclaimed liability for, and is vigorously defending, all current material claims and actions that have been made.

19

CSL Limited Directors’ Declarations

The directors declare that:

  • (a) the financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and:

  • (i) give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 December 2010 and the performance for the half-year ended on that date of the consolidated entity; and

  • (ii) comply with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) in the directors' opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

Made in accordance with a resolution of directors.

Independent Review report to the members of CSL Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of CSL Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of CSL Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of CSL Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
