GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyÂ’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Warner Chilcott Limited was formed through a series of acquisitions and divestitures. It began commercial operations on January 5, 2005 when it acquired Warner Chilcott PLC ("Predecessor"). Its Predecessor was incorporated in 1968 as a sales and marketing organization focused on branded pharmaceutical products in Northern Ireland, but in September 2000 expanded into the U.S. pharmaceuticals market through the acquisition of a U.S. pharmaceutical business that marketed a portfolio of products including OVCON and ESTRACE Cream. It is a global pharmaceutical company currently focused on the gastroenterology, women's healthcare, dermatology and urology segments of the North American and Western European pharmaceuticals markets. The Company is a fully integrated company with internal resources dedicated to the development, manufacture and promotion of its products. It markets and sells the following principal products: Gastroenterology, Women's Healthcare, Dermatology and Urology. The Company employs marketing techniques to identify and target physicians with the highest potential to prescribe its products. In connection with its marketing initiatives, it seeks to efficiently size, deploy, direct and compensate its sales forces in order to grow its market share, sustain product sales growth, revitalize acquired products and successfully launch new products. The pharmaceutical industry is competitive. Protecting its intellectual property, such as trademarks and patents, is a key part of its strategy. The Company relies on patents, trade secrets and proprietary knowledge to protect its products. Its branded products compete with brands marketed by other pharmaceutical companies including large, fully integrated concerns with financial, marketing, legal and product development resources greater than theirs. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by national, regional, state and local agencies.
