ST. DAVID'S, Bermuda, January 28 /PRNewswire/ --

Warner Chilcott Limited (Nasdaq: WCRX) announced today a view of anticipated full year 2008 results.

Total revenues for 2008 are expected to be in the range of US$935 to US$945 million, with the growth primarily being driven by LOESTRIN 24 FE, DORYX, FEMCON FE, and TACLONEX. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of total revenues, is anticipated to be in the range of 80% to 81% in 2008.

Total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in 2008 are anticipated to be in the range of US$228 to US$237 million, which reflects the previously disclosed reduction of advertising and promotional spend due to a reduction in DTC advertising in 2008 as compared to 2007. For a detailed view of the components of SG&A please refer to the summary at the end of this press release.

Total R&D spend in 2008 is anticipated to be in the range of US$57 to US$60 million. Included in this amount is internal R&D expense of US$54 to US$57 million and anticipated potential milestone payments to third parties of US$3 million.

Based on the 2008 view, GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of US$118 to US$128 million. Cash net income in 2008 is anticipated to be US$315 to US$325 million. Using 251.0 million Class A shares, the Company expects cash net income per share to be in the range of US$1.25 to US$1.30 for the full year 2008.

References in this press release to "cash net income" mean the Company's net income adjusted for the after-tax effects of two non-cash items: amortization of intangible assets and amortization (or write-off) of deferred loan costs related to the Company's debt. Reconciliations from the Company's anticipated US GAAP results to cash net income expected results are presented in the footnotes at the end of this press release.
