Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen, president and CEO: "We delivered very solid performance in International Operations, driven by sales growth in all regions; meanwhile, sales in the USA were negatively impacted by inventory reductions. The global launch of Ozempic®, our new once-weekly GLP-1, is well on track and continues to gain market share. From a regulatory perspective, we achieved important milestones with the filing of oral semaglutide both in the USA and the EU. Based on the progress we made in the first quarter of 2019, we are on track to deliver on our outlook for the full-year.”
