Whether measured by the continued progress and growth we demonstrated with our marketed life-saving therapies, or by the advancements we've made towards bringing additional solutions to patients suffering from severe unmet medical needs, the positive momentum generated throughout the period was palpable. We believe that the work we did in 2011 laid the foundation for continued strong financial growth in 2012, as evidenced by the guidance we are providing today, said Vincent Milano, an analyst at ViroPharma.

Losers

The company said it recorded third quarter sales of about $225 million, lower than last year's $278.79 million, while Street predicted $250.21 million. The company had expected to report third-quarter sales of $250 million. RF Micro Devices said its Cellular Products Group's third-quarter sales was about $179 million, as demand for 2G components from China-based customers for entry-level handsets failed expectations. In Multi-Market Products Group, revenue was about $46 million, reflecting weakness in end markets. Additionally, the company said it expects gross margin for the quarter to decline about 9 points sequentially, due to the lower revenue, pared factory utilization, and inventories. Looking ahead into the fourth quarter, the company said it expects normal seasonality in the handset industry and in Multi-Products Group's end markets.

Vical Inc. (VICL) stock plummeted 12.38 percent to $3.75 in after-market trading. The company said it intends to offer and sell shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering. Citigroup, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Leerink Swann LLC are acting as joint book-running managers and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC is acting as co-manager in the offering.

The company said it expects fourth quarter adjusted earnings of $0.65 to $0.70 per share and its revenue of $202 million to $203 million, while Street predicts profit of $0.79 per share on revenue of $212.8 million. For the full year 2011, the company lowered its adjusted earnings guidance to range of $2.74 to $2.79 per share from previous forecast of $2.88 to $2.96 per share, while Street predicts $2.91 per share. For 2012, the company expects adjusted earnings to grow about 8 percent to 9 percent over final 2011 results, and revenue to increase about 8 percent on a constant currency basis and 7 percent on a reported basis over final 2011 results. The company said the reduced expectations for revenue and earnings in 2012 were the result of the soft performance in the fourth quarter of 2011, a stronger dollar compared to the Euro, international economic risk, and slightly lower growth expectations for the domestic extremity product lines.

Additionally, Integra said it received a warning letter from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) related to quality systems and compliance issues at its collagen manufacturing facility located in Plainsboro, New Jersey. The company said the letter resulted from an inspection held at that facility in August 2011, and did not identify any new observations that were not provided in the Form 483 that followed the inspection. Since the conclusion of the inspection in late August, 2011, Integra said it had undertaken significant efforts to remediate the observations that the FDA has made and that it continues to do so.
