CEO’s comments
According to James Herbert, Neogen’s chairman and CEO, “We recorded organic increases in revenues in many of our product lines, including animal genomics, pharmaceuticals, biosecurity products, and food safety diagnostics.” He went on to add, “Currency fluctuations continued to negatively impact both our top and bottom lines, and resulted in an adverse currency effect of about $0.02 per share to earnings or the second quarter, very similar to our first quarter. These impacts were felt in conversions to the US dollar from the euro, the British pound, the Brazilian real, and the Mexican peso.”
