Valeant Posts Their Financial Results for Q2 2017

Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:VRX; TSX:VRX) released their financial results for the second quarter of 2017.
As quoted in the press release:

“The investments we are making in our core business are delivering results,” said Joseph C. Papa, chairman and chief executive officer, Valeant. “The Bausch + Lomb/International segment and Salix business, which together represented 73 percent of our revenue in the quarter, delivered strong organic growth, and we are continuing to reduce debt and resolve legacy issues.”
“Additionally, we confirm that we are maintaining our 2017 full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range despite the impact of divestitures we’ve made this year,” added Mr. Papa.
Second-Quarter Revenue Performance
Total revenues were $2.233 billion for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $2.420 billion in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $187 million, or 8%. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in volume and price in our U.S. Diversified Products segment, attributed to the previously reported loss of exclusivity for a basket of products, and the dermatology business. The decline also reflects the unfavorable impact of divestitures and discontinuations, primarily the skincare divestiture within the Bausch + Lomb/International segment.
