GSK’s strategic priorities

GSK has focused its business around the delivery of three strategic priorities, which aim to increase growth, reduce risk and improve GSK’s long-term financial performance:

•		Grow a diversified global business

•		Deliver more products of value

•		Simplify GSK’s operating model

Chief Executive Officer’s Review

GSK’s growth/risk profile is fundamentally changing. Our strategy to diversify our business is generating sustained sales growth from key investment areas such as Vaccines, Respiratory, Dermatology, Emerging Markets, Japan and Consumer Healthcare.

At the same time, our generic exposure in the USA is reducing and regulatory uncertainty around Avandia has diminished.

This is not to say that significant issues do not remain. Clearly our operating environment is challenging and the measures being put in place by governments to reform healthcare and reduce deficits are impacting our performance along with others in our sector.

Overall, we estimate Group turnover was reduced by approximately 2% in the quarter as a result of US healthcare reform and European government ‘austerity’ measures.

Comparison to high pandemic product sales a year ago and continued sales declines of Avandia and Valtrex impacted our overall sales growth for the quarter. Excluding these three factors, Group sales growth was around 6% and it is worth noting that these particular headwinds will diminish rapidly over the next 12 months.

This underlying sales growth for GSK is a direct result of the strategy we have been implementing to significantly shift investment and resources to support expansion in key business areas and new products.

New product sales grew 44% in the quarter to £448 million. Year to date sales were £1.25 billion and I am pleased that this includes more than £200 million of sales from new oncology products, Tykerb, Arzerra and Votrient.

In Consumer Healthcare, our sales again grew faster than the markets in which we compete (4% vs 3%). Q3 reported growth was impacted by a difficult year-on-year comparison following alli’s launch in Europe last year . Momentum in most other OTC categories and in our Oral care and Nutritionals units is positive. Nutritionals especially stands out this quarter with new product innovation in emerging markets such as India helping drive sales growth of 12%.

Disciplined allocation of capital and continued cost reduction remain key priorities for GSK.

We are on track to deliver £2.2 billion of annual restructuring savings by 2012 and now expect to realise certain savings in R&D earlier than expected. The R&D cost savings programme announced earlier this year, which included termination of certain areas of discovery research and a significant reduction in infrastructure, is ahead of plan with the majority of savings now expected in 2011.

In addition to reducing cost, one of the key levers to improving returns on investment in R&D is through improved productivity. We continue to develop a deep and comprehensive pipeline of assets and are relentlessly focused on deriving clinical differentiation and value for money. In the coming months I expect to see further maturation of several late stage assets with increased visibility of their profile.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

For example in respiratory, we are seeing very good progress with positive efficacy data for Relovair presented at the European Respiratory Society conference in September. The phase III programme has now enrolled over 8,000 patients and many key studies have completed recruitment.

Cash generation remains strong but was impacted in the quarter by the payout of previously settled legal charges of £876 million, a trend which we expect to continue over the next 12 months as we discharge our liabilities.

Our free cash flow continues to be directed firstly towards delivering a progressive dividend (Q3 dividend 16p up 7%) with further available free cash flow and debt capacity used to invest in our strategic priorities and then finally in other cash returns to shareholders. I believe this is the right approach to deliver shareholder value and to maintain sufficient flexibility which is critical given our sector dynamics and the current economic environment.

We continue to apply strict financial criteria to our investment decisions and following an assessment of potential asset disposal opportunities, we do not foresee making any further significant disposals this year. As a result we are lowering our expectations for other operating income this year to be around £500 million. We have also adjusted our full year tax rate expectation by 1.5% to around 29%, following progress made to resolve certain historical tax matters.

Taking a full and balanced role in improving global healthcare continues to be very important to GSK. Last week, we made a landmark commitment to significantly expand donation of our medicine albendazole to treat children at risk of intestinal worms in Africa. We are now working with World Health Organization and other partners to put an implementation programme in place.

In conclusion, this third quarter marks another positive step forward in execution of our strategy and, despite the challenging environment we face, I remain confident that GSK’s outlook continues to improve and that we are well placed to deliver long-term growth and value for shareholders.

Trading update

Turnover and key product movements impacting growth – Q3 2010

Total Group turnover for the quarter declined 2% to £6,813 million, with pharmaceutical turnover down 3% to £5,553 million and Consumer Healthcare sales up 4% to £1,260 million. Excluding pandemic products, Group sales were level in the quarter. Excluding pandemic products and Avandia, Group sales were up 2% in the quarter.

Within pharmaceuticals, sales declines in the USA (-8% to £1,950 million), Europe (-9% to £1,428 million) and Asia Pacific/Japan (-2% to £693 million) were partly offset by sales growth in Emerging Markets (+14% to £873 million).

In the USA strong sales growth in the quarter for Vaccines (+32% to £278 million), Lovaza (+20% to £137 million) and Oncology (+34% to £89 million) were more than offset by lower sales of Valtrex due to generic competition, lower sales of Avandia, and the discontinuation of GSK’s promotion of Boniva. Sales growth in Europe was negatively impacted by delays in government vaccine tenders and shipments, government mandated price reductions, declines in Valtrex and Avandia and a negative year-on-year comparison for pandemic product sales.

In Emerging Markets, strong sales growth was delivered across the portfolio including Vaccines (+29% to £216 million), Dermatologicals (+35% to £73 million), CNS medicines (+22% to £63 million) and Respiratory medicines (+11% to £145 million). The region also benefitted from the June 2010 acquisition of Laboratorios Phoenix S.A.C.yF, a leading Argentinean pharmaceutical business, which contributed sales of £20 million in the third quarter.

Sales of Seretide/Advair grew 5% to £1,243 million in the quarter. Reported US sales were up 6% to £649 million. Underlying US growth for the quarter is estimated to be approximately 1%, with the difference from reported growth primarily due to wholesaler stocking patterns. Total Advair growth was helped by strong performances in Japan (+16% to £57 million) and Emerging Markets (+11% to £77 million). European sales of £370 million were level with last year. Several other respiratory products delivered strong growth including Avamys/Veramyst (+23% to £40 million), Ventolin (+15% to £130 million) and Flovent (+7% to £187 million).

Total vaccine sales were £982 million (+19%) including £58 million of pandemic H1N1 vaccine sales (Q3 2009: £11 million). Strong growth in the USA (+32% to £278 million), Emerging Markets (+29% to £216 million) and Asia Pacific/Japan (>100% to £128 million) more than offset a reduction in Europe (-8% to £310 million). Several new vaccines contributed growth including Synflorix (more than doubling to £90 million with a significant contribution of £68 million related to the 10 year Brazil supply agreement), Cervarix (+64% to £48 million, including £19 million in Japan) and Boostrix (+49% to £59 million). Sales of the Hepatitis vaccines grew 9% to £189 million and seasonal flu sales grew 14% to £167 million. Rotarix sales were down 40% to £52 million. The product is beginning to recover market share lost following its temporary suspension from several markets earlier in the year.

Relenza sales were £18 million, down 91% compared with Q3 2009 which benefited from significant government orders.

Dermatology sales were £272 million in the quarter, including heritage GSK products and those acquired through the acquisition of Stiefel in July 2009 (approximately 6% growth on a pro-forma basis). In addition, GSK’s heritage consumer dermatology portfolio, reported within Consumer Healthcare, contributed sales of £67 million (+7%).

Other strong pharmaceutical performances in the quarter included Tykerb (+26% to £58 million), Lovaza (+20% to £138 million), Arixtra (+17% to £72 million), and Avodart (+16% to £156 million). Newly launched oncology products Votrient and Arzerra delivered sales in the quarter of £11 million and £9 million, respectively.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

Valtrex sales (-75% to £95 million) continued to be impacted by generic competition in the USA and Europe. Boniva’s reported sales of £17 million were down 70%, primarily reflecting the transfer to Genentech of the exclusive promotion rights in the USA on 1st January 2010.

Avandia sales declined by 65% to £70 million. On 23rd September 2010 the European Medicines Agency suspended marketing authorisation for all Avandia containing products and the US Food and Drug Administration announced additional measures to ensure continued safe use of Avandia, including a Risk and Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) programme. As a result, Q3 2010 sales are negatively impacted by a provision related to anticipated sales returns of £65 million and GSK expects global sales of Avandia containing products to be in the range of approximately £100 million to £150 million in the second half of 2010 and to be minimal thereafter.

Sales of HIV products by ViiV Healthcare were down 1% to £401 million. Sales of the former Pfizer products Selzentry and Viracept (combined sales of £30 million in the quarter) and growth from Epzicom/Kivexa (+3% to £138 million) partly offset reductions in the sales from other HIV products including Trizivir (-21% to £38 million) and Combivir (-10% to £96 million).

Total Consumer Healthcare sales were up 4% to £1,260 million. Excluding alli sales in Europe where comparison was impacted by launch activity in 2009, the business continued to perform strongly (+5%), outperforming market growth estimated at approximately 3%.

On a regional basis, sales in the Rest of World markets continued to perform strongly (+15% to £520 million) with growth across all major categories. In Europe, sales were down 2% to £491 million, mainly due to lower sales of alli. Excluding the impact of the alli comparison, underlying sales in Europe were up 1%. US sales for the business were down 4% to £249 million, primarily due to macroeconomic pressures on higher priced, non-essential OTC and Oral healthcare products.

On a category basis, global Oral healthcare sales grew 4% to £400 million led by growth of Sensodyne. Nutritional healthcare sales grew 12% to £259 million, with growth of 22% to £130 million in the Rest of World markets driven by innovation, geographic expansion and enhanced marketing behind the Horlicks brand. Sales of OTC medicines were £601 million, up 1%, reflecting lower sales of alli in both the USA and Europe. Excluding alli, OTC medicines grew 5%, led by strong growth in Rest of World markets.

Operating profit and earnings per share commentary – Q3 2010

Results before major restructuring

Operating profit before major restructuring for Q3 2010 was £2,129 million, a 9% decline in CER terms, principally reflecting charges booked in Q3 2010 related to Avandia.

Cost of sales was 27.5% of turnover, higher than Q3 2009 at 25.6%, and included inventory and asset impairments and other costs of £77 million related to Avandia. Excluding these charges, cost of sales was 26.4% of turnover. The remaining increase in margin arose from the impact of generic competition to higher margin products in the USA, principally Valtrex, and changes in business and product mix.

SG&A costs as a percentage of turnover were 28.7%, lower than last year (Q3 2009: 30.5%). Legal costs were £48 million in the quarter (Q3 2009: £63 million). Excluding legal costs, SG&A costs declined 9% and were 28.0% of turnover (Q3 2009: 29.6%) with continued growth of investment in Emerging Markets, more than offset by operational excellence savings in the USA and Europe.

R&D expenditure was 13.9% of turnover, in line with expectations (Q3 2009: 12.8%). The prior year comparative benefited from a provision release due to reassessment of a receivable balance.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

Other operating income was £95 million in the quarter, compared with £123 million in the third quarter last year. Royalty income was £76 million (Q3 2009: £103 million) with the prior year quarter benefiting from settlement of a royalty dispute.

The charge for taxation on profit before major restructuring amounted to £480 million and represented an effective tax rate of 24.4% (Q3 2009: 28.3%) which reflected the settlement of certain historical matters.

EPS before major restructuring of 28.2p decreased 6% in CER terms (a 1% decrease in sterling terms). The favourable currency impact was primarily due to the weakness of Sterling against most currencies other than the Euro.

Total results after restructuring

Operating profit after restructuring for Q3 2010 was £1,958 million, down 10% CER and 5% in sterling terms. This included £171 million of charges related to restructuring (Q3 2009: £152 million): £31 million was charged to cost of sales (Q3 2009: £50 million); £84 million to SG&A (Q3 2009: £82 million) and £56 million to R&D (Q3 2009: £20 million). The restructuring charges primarily arose from several site exits.

Earnings per share after restructuring was 25.3p compared with 26.3p in Q3 2009.

Cash flow and net debt

Net cash inflow from operating activities for the nine months was £5,332 million, a 4% decrease in sterling terms over the previous year reflecting higher settlement of legal claims in the current period. This net inflow was used to fund net interest of £341 million, capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of £1,189 million, acquisitions of £167 million, repayment of short-term loans of £1,300 million and the dividends paid to shareholders of £2,446 million.

Net debt decreased by £652 million during the nine months to £8.8 billion at 30th September 2010, comprising gross debt of £15.2 billion and cash and liquid investments of £6.4 billion.

At 30th September 2010, GSK had short-term borrowings (including overdrafts) repayable within 12 months of £386 million with loans of £651 million repayable in the subsequent 12 months.

Dividends

The Board has declared a third interim dividend of 16 pence per share (Q3 2009: 15 pence). The equivalent interim dividend receivable by ADR holders is 50.7360 cents per ADS based on an exchange rate of £1/$1.5855. The ex-dividend date will be 27th October 2010, with a record date of 29th October 2010 and a payment date of 6th January 2011.

Currency impact

The Q3 results are based on average exchange rates, principally £1/$1.56, £1/€1.18 and £1/Yen 134. Comparative exchange rates are given on page 28. The period end exchange rates were £1/$1.58, £1/€1.15 and £1/Yen 132. If exchange rates were to hold at these period end levels for the rest of 2010 and there were no exchange gains or losses in the fourth quarter, the estimated positive impact on 2010 sterling EPS growth before major restructuring would be approximately 5 percentage points.

Results before major restructuring

Results before major restructuring is a measure used by management to assess the Group’s financial performance and is presented after excluding restructuring charges relating to the Operational Excellence programme, which commenced in October 2007 and the acquisitions of Reliant Pharmaceuticals in December 2007 and Stiefel in July 2009. Management believes that this presentation assists shareholders in gaining a clearer understanding of the Group’s financial performance and in making projections of future financial performance, as results that include such costs, by virtue of their size and nature, have limited comparative value.

CER growth

In order to illustrate underlying performance, it is the Group’s practice to discuss its results in terms of constant exchange rate (CER) growth. This represents growth calculated as if the exchange rates used to determine the results of overseas companies in Sterling had remained unchanged from those used in the comparative period. All commentaries are presented in terms of CER growth, unless otherwise stated.

Turnover and key product movements impacting growth — 9 months 2010

Total Group turnover grew 4% to £21.2 billion, with pharmaceutical turnover up 3% to £17.5 billion and Consumer Healthcare sales up 5% to £3.7 billion.

On a regional basis, US pharmaceuticals sales declined 7% to £5.8 billion, primarily due to the impact of generic competition to Valtrex, lower sales of Avandia, the discontinuation of GSK’s promotion of Boniva and the sale of Wellbutrin XL in May of 2009, partially offset by the acquisition of Stiefel. The sales decline in the USA has been more than offset by growth in other regions: Europe (+3% to £4.9 billion), Emerging markets (+24% to £2.6 billion) and Asia Pacific/Japan (+17% to £2.3 billion).

Seretide/Advair sales grew 5% for the first nine months of 2010 to £3.8 billion. US sales were up 2% to £1.9 billion and Europe sales were up 3% to £1.2 billion. Sales growth of Seretide/Advair was strong in both Emerging Markets (+17% to £243 million) and Asia Pacific/Japan (+16% to £282 million).

Several other respiratory products delivered growth including Avamys/Veramyst (+29% to £143 million), Ventolin (+11% to £380 million) and Flovent (+4% to £584 million).

Total vaccine sales grew 51% to £3.3 billion, including £1.0 billion of H1N1 vaccine sales (2009: £47 million). Several new vaccines contributed growth including: Synflorix (more than doubled to £173 million), Boostrix (+26% to £132 million) and Cervarix (+15% to £175 million). Sales of the Hepatitis vaccines grew 8% to £556 million, Infanrix/Pediarix grew 3% to £510 million and seasonal flu sales grew 1% to £172 million. Rotarix sales were down 27% to £156 million, as the product continues to recover market share lost following its temporary suspension from several markets earlier in the year.

Relenza sales were £110 million, down 77%, after significant government orders in 2009.

Dermatology sales were £799 million during the first nine months, including heritage GSK products and those acquired through the acquisition of Stiefel in July 2009 (approximately 5% growth on a pro-forma basis). In addition, GSK’s heritage consumer dermatology portfolio, reported within Consumer Healthcare, contributed sales of £193 million (+7%).

Other strong pharmaceutical performances in the nine months included Tykerb (+38% to £167 million), Arixtra (+23% to £221 million), Lovaza (+19% to £383 million), and Avodart (+17% to £452 million). Newly launched oncology products Votrient and Arzerra delivered sales of £24 million and £22 million, respectively.

Valtrex sales (-60% to £436 million) have been impacted by generic competition in the USA and Europe. Boniva’s reported sales of £60 million were down 68%, primarily reflecting the transfer to Genentech of the exclusive promotion rights in the USA on 1st January 2010. Reported sales of Wellbutrin declined 46% to £59 million, reflecting the sale of Wellbutrin XL in the USA to Biovail in Q2 2009.

Avandia sales declined by 33% to £391 million. On 23rd September 2010 the European Medicines Agency suspended marketing authorisation for all Avandia containing products and the US Food and Drug Administration announced additional measures to ensure continued safe use of Avandia, including a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) programme. As a result, sales are negatively impacted by a provision related to anticipated sales returns (£65 million) and GSK expects global sales of Avandia containing products to be in the range of approximately £100 million to £150 million in the second half of 2010 and to be minimal thereafter.

Sales of HIV products by ViiV Healthcare were down 2% to £1.2 billion. Sales of the former Pfizer products Selzentry and Viracept (combined sales of £88 million) and growth from Epzicom/Kivexa (+3% to £409 million) helped to offset reductions in the sales from other HIV products including Trizivir (-26% to £112 million) and Combivir (-17% to £264 million).

Total Consumer Healthcare sales were up 5% to £3.7 billion. Excluding alli sales in Europe where growth was impacted by launch activity in 2009, the business has performed strongly (+6%), significantly outgrowing market growth estimated at approximately 3%.

Sales in the Rest of World grew 13% to £1,530 million. Europe sales grew 1% to £1,455 million and the business in the USA was level with last year with sales of £758 million.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

On a category basis, global Oral care sales grew 6% to £1,191 million led by growth of Sensodyne. Nutritional healthcare sales grew 10% to £741 million, with growth of 17% to £380 million in the Rest of World markets. Sales of OTC medicines were £1,811 million, up 3%, reflecting lower sales of alli in both the USA and Europe. Excluding alli, the category grew 5%, led by growth in Rest of World markets.

Operating profit and earnings per share commentary — 9 months 2010

Results before major restructuring

Operating profit before major restructuring for the nine months to 30th September 2010 was £5,165 million, a 26% decline in CER terms, primarily due to significant legal costs incurred in the second quarter of 2010.

Cost of sales increased to 25.6% of turnover (2009: 24.6%) principally reflecting the impact of generic competition to higher margin products in the USA and inventory and asset impairments related to Avandia. The company continues to expect cost of sales as a percentage of turnover to be around 26% for the full year.

SG&A costs were impacted by legal costs of £1,836 million (2009: £199 million). Excluding legal costs, SG&A costs grew 2% and were 29.5% of turnover (2009: 30.8%) reflecting the benefits of the restructuring programme offset by expansion in developing markets. The company continues to expect SG&A costs excluding legal charges to be around 29% of turnover for the full year.

R&D expenditure at 13.6% of turnover (2009: 14.0%) reflected the phasing of project expenditure, good progress on efficiency savings and a positive comparison with last year, which included a higher level of intangible asset write-offs partly offset by the reassessment of a receivable balance. The company continues to expect R&D costs as a percentage of turnover to be around 14% for the full year.

Other operating income for the nine months to 30th September was £375 million compared with £582 million in 2009 which benefited from the disposal of Wellbutrin XL. Royalty income was £222 million (2009: £229 million).

The company now expects other operating income for the year of around £500 million (previously £800-£900 million). GSK’s operating margin for 2010 is now expected to be in the range of 32% to 32.5% (excluding legal costs).

The charge for taxation on profit before major restructuring amounted to £1,410 million and represented an effective tax rate of 30.0% for the nine months to 30th September 2010. The company now expects the effective tax rate for the full year to be around 29%.

EPS before major restructuring of 61.5p decreased 33% in CER terms (a 28% decrease in sterling terms). The favourable currency impact primarily reflected the weakness of Sterling against most currencies other than the Euro.

Total results after restructuring

Operating profit after restructuring and legal charges of £1,836 million for the nine months to 30th September was £4,103 million, down 36% CER and 31% in sterling terms. This included £1,062 million of restructuring charges (2009: £602 million): £90 million was charged to cost of sales (2009: £264 million), £493 million to SG&A (2009: £218 million) and £479 million to R&D (2009: £120 million). The restructuring charges were incurred primarily in relation to US sales force reductions and various site exits.

The Group’s operational excellence programme remains on track to deliver £2.2 billion of annual cost savings by 2012, with £1.5 billion expected by the end of 2010.

Earnings per share after restructuring of 45.7p decreased 46% CER and 41% in sterling terms compared with the same period in 2009.

Segmental information

GSK has revised its segmental information disclosures to reflect changes in the internal reporting structures with effect from 1st January 2010. ViiV Healthcare is now shown as a separate segment. Stiefel has been integrated with the GSK heritage dermatology business and is reported within the relevant geographical pharmaceutical segments. The other trading and other unallocated pharmaceuticals information has been combined. Comparative information has been restated onto a consistent basis.

GSK’s operating segments are being reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the responsibilities of the Corporate Executive Team (CET). Individual members of the CET are responsible for geographic regions of the Pharmaceuticals business, ViiV Healthcare and for the Consumer Healthcare business as a whole, respectively.

R&D investment is essential for the sustainability of the pharmaceutical businesses. However, for segment reporting, the USA, Europe, Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific/Japan pharmaceutical operating profits exclude allocations of globally funded R&D as well as central costs, principally corporate functions and unallocated manufacturing costs. GSK’s management reporting process allocates intra-Group profit on a product sale to the market in which that sale is recorded, and the profit analyses below have been presented on that basis.

The Other trading and unallocated pharmaceuticals segment includes Canada, Puerto Rico, central vaccine tender sales and contract manufacturing sales, together with costs such as vaccines R&D and central manufacturing costs not attributed to other segments.

The Pharmaceuticals R&D segment is the responsibility of the Chairman, Research & Development and is therefore being reported as a separate segment.

Corporate and other unallocated costs and disposal profits include corporate functions, costs for legal matters, fair value movements on financial instruments and investments and profits on global asset disposals.

Segmental commentary — Q3 2010

US pharmaceuticals operating profit decreased by 5% in the quarter on a turnover decline of 8%. This reflects the impact of healthcare reform, generic competition to Valtrex, the discontinuation of promotion of Boniva, and lower sales of Relenza and Avandia. These impacts have been partially offset by higher sales of respiratory products, growth in Lovaza sales and the benefits of a reduction in SG&A costs of 21% compared with the previous year.

Europe pharmaceuticals turnover decreased 9% and operating profit decreased 12%. This reflects lower sales of Valtrex, Relenza and Avandia and accelerated pricing reductions across Europe only partly offset by a reduction in SG&A costs of 10%.

Emerging Markets operating profit grew by 12%. This reflects the timing of vaccines tenders (particularly relating to Synflorix) partially offset by reductions relating to Avandia and Relenza and increased selling investment in China.

Asia Pacific/Japan pharmaceuticals turnover decreased by 2%, principally as a result of reductions in Relenza sales, partially offset by higher vaccine sales (H1N1 and Cervarix). Operating profit increased by 2%, benefiting from the impact of the mix of sales on cost of goods, cost containment in SG&A and product divestments and royalty income in Japan.

In ViiV Healthcare, US healthcare reform and higher SG&A and R&D costs adversely impacted operating profit, which was down 21%. The higher SG&A costs were primarily due to the amortisation of acquired intangible assets.

Pharmaceuticals R&D net loss increased by 18%, reflecting an adverse comparison with last year, which benefited from a provision release due to the reassessment of a receivable and the settlement of a royalty dispute. Excluding these one-off items the R&D loss declined 9%.

The other trading and unallocated pharmaceuticals operating loss increased, primarily reflecting inventory provisions and asset impairments within manufacturing related to Avandia.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

Consumer Healthcare sales grew 4% and operating profit grew 7%, as SG&A costs grew more slowly than sales.

Corporate and other unallocated costs decreased 47% reflecting cost containment and a favourable comparison with last year, which was adversely impacted by equity investment impairments.

Segmental commentary — 9 months 2010

US pharmaceuticals operating profit decreased by 14% on a turnover decline of 7%. This reflects the impact of healthcare reform, increased generic competition to Valtrex, the discontinuation of promotion of Boniva, the temporary suspension of Rotarix and lower sales of Avandia partially offset by a receipt for the exclusive promotion rights to Boniva for 2010 in the USA and the benefits of a reduction in SG&A costs of 7% compared with the previous year.

Europe pharmaceuticals operating profit increased 7% on a turnover increase of 3%, benefiting from strong H1N1 vaccine sales partially offset by lower sales of Valtrex and Avandia, and a 7% reduction in SG&A costs.

Emerging Markets operating profit grew by 35% on a turnover increase of 24%, reflecting strong H1N1 and Synflorix vaccine sales partially offset by increased investment in this segment.

Asia Pacific/Japan pharmaceuticals operating profit rose by 27%, principally as a result of significant H1N1 vaccine sales partially offset by lower sales of Relenza; turnover increased by 17%.

In ViiV Healthcare US healthcare reform and higher SG&A costs adversely impacted operating profit, which decreased by 23%. The higher SG&A costs were primarily due to the amortisation of acquired intangible assets.

Other trading and unallocated pharmaceuticals operating loss reduced by 8%, primarily reflecting sales growth in Canada, lower central manufacturing costs, and lower inventory write offs, partially offset by inventory provisions and asset impairments related to Avandia.

Consumer Healthcare sales grew 5% and operating profit grew 7%, as SG&A costs grew more slowly than sales.

Corporate and other unallocated costs increased primarily as a result of the higher legal charges of £1,836 million in the nine months partially offset by cost containment within support functions.

Legal matters

The Group is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings principally product liability, intellectual property, tax, anti-trust and governmental investigations and related private litigation concerning sales, marketing and pricing which are more fully described in the ‘Legal proceedings’ note in the Annual Report 2009.

The Group’s aggregate provision for legal and other disputes at 30th September 2010 (not including tax matters described under ‘Taxation’ on page 25) was £2.5 billion. In respect of a number of legal proceedings in which the Group is involved, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. In these cases, the Group may disclose information with respect to the nature and facts of the cases but no provision is typically made.

The ultimate liability for legal claims may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of litigation proceedings, investigations and possible settlement negotiations. The position could change over time, and there can, therefore, be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed the amount of the provisions reported in the Group’s financial accounts.

Significant developments since the date of the 2009 Annual Report (as previously updated by the Legal matters section of the Results Announcements for Q1 and Q2 2010) are as follows:

Following a United Nations report alleging that bribes had been paid to Iraqi government officials in connection with the UN Oil For Food Programme, in December 2007 the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) issued a formal notice to the Group requiring production of documents relating to the Group’s participation in the Programme. The Group cooperated fully with the SFO, including making past and current employees available for interview. On 9th September 2010, the SFO notified the Group that it had completed its investigation and would be taking no further action.

The Group is in the process of responding to a US Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoena relating to the development and marketing of Avandia. The Group has received Civil Investigative Demands from a number of States Attorneys General offices relating to the development and marketing of Avandia. These enquiries are at an early-stage, and GSK is cooperating with these offices.

Issued: Thursday, 21st October 2010, London, U.K.

Litigation regarding Avandia remains pending in US federal and state courts, and new cases continue to be filed. The Group is assessing the merits of these additional claims and is not yet in a position to determine whether any further provision will be necessary.

The Group received a subpoena from the Eastern District of New York’s US Attorney’s Office regarding sales and marketing practices for three HIV products, as well as educational programmes, grants or payments to physicians regarding any drug used to treat HIV-infected adults. The Group is cooperating with the investigation.

The Group has received letters from the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the DOJ that seek information about activities in a number of countries and reference the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Group is cooperating with the agencies in their requests and believes that this enquiry is part of a broader review of pharmaceutical industry practices in countries outside the USA.

Developments with respect to tax matters are described in ‘Taxation’ below.

Taxation

Transfer pricing and other issues are as previously described in the ‘Taxation’ note to the Financial Statements included in the Annual Report 2009.

During the quarter the company settled certain historical tax matters. As a result of this and other items the rate for the quarter is 24.4% and the rate for the year is expected to be around 29%.

GSK continues to believe that it has made adequate provision for the liabilities likely to arise from open assessments. The ultimate liability for such matters may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of litigation proceedings and negotiations with the relevant tax authorities.

Net assets

The book value of net assets decreased by £129 million from £10,742 million at 31st December 2009 to £10,613 million at 30th September 2010. This reflects dividend payments, an increase in the pension deficit and the increased provision for legal charges, partially offset by the operating activities in the period. The increase in the pension deficit arose predominantly from decreases in the rate used to discount UK pension liabilities from 5.7% to 5.1% and the rate used to discount US pension liabilities from 5.75% to 4.9%, partly offset by a decrease in the estimated long-term inflation rate and an increase in asset values in the UK and the USA. At 30th September 2010, the net deficit on the Group’s pension plans was £1,902 million compared with £1,745 million at 31st December 2009.

The carrying value of investments in associates and joint ventures at 30th September 2010 was £1,062 million, with a market value of £1,865 million.

At 30th September 2010, the ESOP Trusts held 106 million GSK shares against the future exercise of share options and share awards. The carrying value of £899 million has been deducted from other reserves. The market value of these shares was £1,332 million.

GSK did not purchase any shares for cancellation in the period. At 30th September 2010, the company held 474.2 million Treasury shares at a cost of £6,286 million, which has been deducted from retained earnings.

Capital expenditure

In the period to 30th September 2010 there were additions to property, plant and equipment of £740 million (2009: £958 million) and additions to intangible assets of £424 million (2009: £212 million).

In the period to 30th September 2010 there were disposals of property, plant and equipment with a book value of £41 million (2009: £35 million) and disposals of intangible assets with a book value of £nil (2009: £nil).

Exchange rates

The Group operates in many countries and earns revenues and incurs costs in many currencies. The results of the Group, as reported in Sterling, are affected by movements in exchange rates between Sterling and other currencies. Average exchange rates, as modified by specific transaction rates for large transactions, prevailing during the period are used to translate the results and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures into Sterling. Period-end rates are used to translate the net assets of those entities. The currencies which most influenced these translations and the relevant exchange rates were:


	Q3 2010		Q3 2009		9 months 2010		9 months 2009		2009
Average rates:
£/US$		1.56		1.62		1.54		1.54		1.56
£/Euro		1.18		1.14		1.16		1.12		1.12

£/Euro		1.15		1.09		1.15		1.09		1.13
£/Yen		132		143		132		143		150

During Q3 2010, average Sterling exchange rates were stronger against the Euro but weaker against the US Dollar and the Yen compared with the same period in 2009.

During the nine months ended 30th September 2010, average Sterling exchange rates were stronger against the Euro but weaker against the Yen and unchanged against the US Dollar compared with the same period in 2009. Period end Sterling exchange rates were stronger against the Euro but weaker against the US Dollar and the Yen.

Independent review report to GlaxoSmithKline plc

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed financial information in the Results Announcement for the nine months ended 30th September 2010, which comprises the income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended 30th September 2010, the cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity for the nine months ended 30th September 2010, the balance sheet as at 30th September 2010 and related notes (excluding the late-stage pharmaceuticals and vaccines pipeline table, Pharmaceuticals turnover table and the additional income statement information for the three and nine months ended 30th September 2010). We have read the other information contained in the Results Announcement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed financial information.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Results Announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Results Announcement in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority.

The annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed financial information included in the Results Announcement for the nine months ended 30th September 2010 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed financial information in the Results Announcement based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information 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 International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed financial information in the Results Announcement for the nine months ended 30th September 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority.
