“We are pleased to report that Defibrotide product sales increased 25% compared with the prior-year period,” Salvatore Calabrese, senior vice president and CFO of Gentium stated in the press release. “Additionally, we have continued to be cash flow positive and profitable during the first half of 2011, and have decreased our long-term debt while investing in the establishment of our European sales infrastructure. We confirm our previously reported projection that Defibrotide product sales for 2011 are expected to increase 25%-30% over 2010, but due in large part to lower API revenues, we are revising our 2011 product sales forecast to be in the range of EUR 21-23 million instead of EUR 23–25 million as originally projected.”
