Saldarini, Chief Executive Officer of PDI, Inc. commented, "PDI's third quarter results were adversely impacted by both a general softening in the CSO market and developments surrounding the patent protection for Ceftin tablets. Based upon these developments, GSK and PDI believe that it is in our respective best interests to mutually wind-down and terminate our agreement. While the Ceftin deal will be terminated early, we have developed, in a very short time, a sales and marketing platform 2 which has enabled PDI to enter into other relationships this year with both Novartis and Eli Lilly and to broaden the types of discussions PDI is having with other potential partners". Saldarini added, "We are currently working to complete our detailed 2002 estimates and are encouraged by the visibility on all our service offerings, notably Lifecycle Extension and Copromotion." Outlook for the Fourth Quarter The Company anticipates that it will incur a loss of $0.23 in the fourth quarter. The loss is primarily related to revenue shortfalls from the Company's LifeCycle Extension program for Lotensin. Mr. Saldarini stated, "We continue to feel confident about Lotensin's ability to contribute positively to 2002 financial results, however, in the fourth quarter we will not realize the full amount we had planned to achieve. We fully expect that our investment in this brand will be rewarded in 2002." Outlook for 2002 PDI expects 2002 service revenue to be $375 - $400 million and earnings per share to be $1.25 - $1.35. Upon completion of the Ceftin contract discussions, PDI will provide more detailed estimates for all of its service offerings, including both dedicated and shared contract sales solutions, the Lotensin LifeCycle Extension solution as well as the Lotrel and Evista Copromotion solutions.
