Comments: Early Development revenues rose 11% for 2Q ($232 million) and 10% for YTD ($456 million), driven by results from the new sites in UK and France recently acquired from Sanofi. Revenues were down at the Vienna, VA toxicology site. Late-Stage Development revenues were up 7% for 2Q ($286 million) and 4% YTD ($564 million). Growth was attributed to strong performance in clinical development and a weakening dollar.
