financial results for 2013, which are in line with the revised expectations
communicated in the third quarter. Revenue for 2013 was DKK 15,258 million, an
increase of 3% compared with 2012. Growth was driven by Lundbeck’s New
Products, which generated revenue of DKK 3,096 million. Revenue was impacted by
the reduced Ebixa® revenue in Europe, following the anticipated generic
