Fresh from announcing the €642m ($762m) divestment of its Thrombosis business in Europe to Mylan, Aspen Pharmacare management walked investors through its full-year earnings, explaining in detail the company’s ambitions to focus on emerging markets.

Aspen Pharmacare last week announced the sale of its thrombosis business in Europe to Mylan for €642m ($762m). CEO Stephen Saad faced investors to detail the rationale for the US firm and what the planned transaction means for Aspen, including its material debt pile.

Another regulatory approval for Mylan and Upjohn’s proposed combination into Viatris has been ticked off, with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission saying it will not oppose the deal after Upjohn agreed to divestments to Aspen Pharmacare.

With Mylan continuing to count down the days until its merger with Pfizer’s Upjohn completes, the US firm has struck a deal to acquire Aspen Pharmacare’s thrombosis business in Europe, bolstering what is already a $4bn operation.
