Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. info

October 2006 - Bristol-Myers Squibb had third-quarter earnings in 2006 plunge as sales of the anti-clotting drug Plavix were hurt by a cheaper generic. New York-based Bristol earned $338 million, or 17 cents per share, from continuing operations, compared with $964 million, or 49 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Plavix was hurt by competition from the early introduction of the cheaper generic by privately held Canadian drug maker Apotex Inc. A deal between Bristol-Myers and Apotex to delay the generic for years fell apart and is now under criminal investigation by the U.S. government for possible antitrust violations. The probe has been widened to review whether the deal violated federal securities laws. Plavix, used to prevent blood clots that can trigger heart attacks, was the world's second-biggest medicine, with global annual sales of $6 billion before the generic arrived.

Global sales of hypertension drug Avapro, sold with Sanofi-Aventis, rose 10 percent to $277 million.
Revenue from schizophrenia treatment Abilify jumped 20 percent to $313 million.
Reyataz, a once-daily protease inhibitor against HIV whose use expanded sharply outside the United States, rose 32 percent to $233 million.
Sales of Erbitux, marketed in partnership with ImClone Systems Inc. for colon cancer and head and neck cancer, jumped 64 percent to $175 million.
