Delivering Profits at SkyePharma
Executive Summary
SkyePharma fulfilled its profitability promise in 2002. Yet warnings of a revenue slip in the middle of 2003 have highlighted the group's reliance on the timing of uncertain milestones. But by building up its clinical and regulatory capabilities, increasing the proportion of its revenues derived from royalties, and leveraging a full pipeline which includes improved biologics, SkyePharma aims to increase its development control over its own and partners' programs and thereby maintain and grow its newfound profitability.

SkyePharma continues shifting the source of its revenues from milestone payments to more predictable royalties; Medeus flexes its muscle as a viable, fast-moving competitor to larger pan-European in-licensers.
