Fast facts the Fool way.

On July 26, Shire (NASDAQ:SHPGY) released second-quarter earnings for the period ended June 30.

  • Revenue rose 31%, led by improved sales of Adderall XR and Daytrana in a growing attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) market. Adderall XR is the top drug in the U.S. ADHD market, with 26% market share.
  • The company posted a loss of $1.8 billion, primarily because of in-process R&D expenses of $1.9 billion associated with the acquisition of New River Pharmaceuticals.
  • Shire acquired New River for $2.6 billion to strengthen its ADHD portfolio as it gains control over Vyvanse, New River Pharmaceutical's new ADHD drug. The drug launched in June.
  • In May 2007, Shire issued $1.1 billion principal amount of convertible bonds due 2014. This was done to finance the New River acquisition.
  • The company has upped its revenue growth guidance to more than 25% for the year.
