of $4.85 to $4.95 per share, which excludes the impact of special
items. "In a year of tremendous challenge, we maintained our
long-term focus while delivering solid results -- a great tribute
to the employees of Johnson & Johnson," said William C. Weldon,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We made important
investments in acquisitions, strategic partnerships and launches of
recently-approved innovative products while preserving our
financial flexibility to continue to invest in innovation. This
positions us well for continued leadership and growth in global
health care as we enter 2010." Worldwide Consumer sales of $15.8
billion for the full-year 2009 represented a decrease of 1.6% over
the prior year with operational growth of 2.0% and a negative
currency impact of 3.6%. Domestic sales decreased 1.4%;
international sales decreased 1.7%, which reflected operational
growth of 4.7% and a negative currency impact of 6.4%. Primary
contributors to operational growth included NEUTROGENA®, AVEENO®
and the Dabao skin care products; international sales of LISTERINE®
antiseptic mouthrinse; SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener; and sales
from the acquisition of Vania Expansion SNC. Sales growth was
negatively impacted due to the initial build of inventory by the
trade related to the 2008 launch of Zyrtec. Worldwide
Pharmaceutical sales of $22.5 billion for the full-year 2009
represented a decrease of 8.3% versus the prior year with an
operational decline of 6.1% and a negative impact from currency of
2.2%. Domestic sales decreased 12.1%; international sales decreased
2.6%, which reflected an operational increase of 3.0% and a
negative currency impact of 5.6%. Products with strong operational
growth included REMICADE® (infliximab), a biologic approved for the
treatment of a number of immune mediated inflammatory diseases;
PREZISTA® (darunavir), a treatment for HIV; VELCADE® (bortezomib),
a treatment for multiple myeloma; and RISPERDAL® CONSTA®
(risperidone) Long-Acting Treatment, an antipsychotic medication.
Sales results of TOPAMAX® (topiramate), an antiepileptic and a
treatment for migraine, and RISPERDAL® (risperidone), an
antipsychotic medication, were negatively impacted by generic
competition. During the quarter, the Company submitted a New Drug
Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
tapentadol extended release tablets, an investigational oral
analgesic for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in
patients 18 years of age or older. In addition, the Company
submitted a Marketing Authorization Application to the European
Medicines Agency for paliperidone palmitate, a once-monthly
atypical antipsychotic intramuscular injection for the treatment of
adults with schizophrenia. Worldwide Medical Devices and
Diagnostics sales of $23.6 billion for the full-year 2009
represented an increase of 1.9% versus the prior year with an
operational increase of 4.2% and a negative impact from currency of
2.3%. Domestic sales increased 4.5%; international sales decreased
0.2%, which reflected an operational increase of 4.0% and a
negative currency impact of 4.2%. Primary contributors to
operational growth included Ethicon's surgical care and aesthetics
products; DePuy's orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spine, and
sports medicine businesses; Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally
invasive products; and Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics' professional
products. This growth was partially offset by lower sales in the
Cordis franchise, reflecting continued competition in the
drug-eluting stent market. During the quarter, the Company entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire Acclarent, Inc., a privately
held medical technology company dedicated to designing, developing
and commercializing devices that address conditions affecting the
ear, nose and throat. On January 20, 2010, the acquisition of
Acclarent was completed. Also in the quarter, the Company completed
the acquisitions of Finsbury Orthopaedics Limited, a privately held
UK-based manufacturer and global distributor of orthopaedic
implants, and Gloster Europe, a privately held developer of
innovative disinfection processes and technologies to prevent
healthcare-acquired infections. The Company also announced that it
had received FDA clearance for marketing the CARTO® 3 System, the
most advanced three-dimensional imaging technology for use by
electrophysiologists in treating cardiac arrhythmias, commonly
referred to as irregular heart rhythms. About Johnson & Johnson
