Commenting on these results, Bart Becht, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Reckitt Benckiser had a very good year in 2009 with net income growth of +13%, behind strong revenue growth of +8% (both at constant exchange). This performance was supported by the Group's 17 Powerbrands, behind significant investment in media and marketing and successful new product initiatives.
Based on the current market outlook, we are confident of achieving continuedgood growth in 2010. Due to the uncertain timing of generic competition toSuboxone in the U.S., it is not considered appropriate to communicate targetsfor the total Group. For the business excluding RBP, our targets in 2010 arefor net revenue growth of +5% (base: £7,144m) and for operating profit growthof +10% (base: £1,512m), both at constant exchange." Basis of Presentation and Exceptional Items
Where appropriate, the term "adjusted" excludes the impact of exceptional items. There are no exceptional items in FY 2009, compared to an exceptional charge in FY 2008 mainly relating to integration costs arising from the acquisition of Adams Respiratory Therapeutics Inc.

The Business Review below is given at constant exchange rates.
Europe 45% of net revenue
FY 2009 total net revenue increased +1% to £3,511m, with growth largely in Dishwashing, Home Care and Health & Personal Care. In Dishwashing, the continued success of Quantum contributed to growth, while Home Care was supported by such initiatives as Airwick Freshmatic, Freshmatic Mini and motion. In Health & Personal Care, Nurofen, Strepsils and Gaviscon all performed strongly, boosted by increased marketing investment.
For the full year, the adjusted operating margin was -100bp below last year at22.9%, owing to a re-organisation charge taken in Q4; this resulted in a -3%decline in adjusted operating profit to £804m. Excluding the charge, theoperating margin increased +10bp to 24.0%.
In Q4, net revenue rose +1% to £867m. As a result of the re-organisation charge taken in the quarter, adjusted operating profit was -14% lower at £204m, equating to a -450bp contraction in the margin. Excluding the charge, the operating margin was +10bp ahead at 28.1%.
North America & Australia 28% of net revenueFY 2009 total net revenue increased +7% to £2,160m, with growth coming mainlyin Surface Care, Home Care and Health & Personal Care. Increased consumptionof Lysol spray and disinfectant wipes boosted growth in Surface Care, whileAirwick Freshmatic and motion contributed to the result in Home Care. InHealth & Personal Care, growth was driven by Mucinex.
Food performed well, with growth coming particularly from the consumer brands of French's Yellow Mustard, French's Fried Onions and Frank's Red Hot sauce.
For the full year, adjusted operating profit increased +12% to £500m: the adjusted operating margin was +60bp higher at 23.1%.
Q4 net revenue rose +8% to £614m and adjusted operating profit was ahead by +13% to £197m, equating to a +160bp uplift in the margin to 32.1%.
Developing Markets 19% of net revenueFY 2009 net revenue was ahead +16% to £1,494m, with strong growth across allregions and driven particularly by Fabric Care, Surface Care and Health &Personal Care. In Fabric Care, increased marketing investment and newinitiatives helped generate a strong performance for Vanish. In Surface Care,Harpic, and Veja in Brazil, were the key growth drivers. In Health & PersonalCare, additional marketing investment helped drive an excellent result for theDettol personal care range, with Veet and Gaviscon also both contributingstrongly.
For the full year, adjusted operating profit increased by +21% to £216m. This resulted in a +80bp improvement in the adjusted operating margin to 14.5%.

Pharmaceuticals 8% of net revenueFY 2009 net revenue for the Group's Subutex and Suboxone prescription drugbusiness grew +50% to £588m. These buprenorphine-based products are used totreat opiate dependence. This very strong growth was predominantly driven by acontinued increase in penetration of Suboxone in the U.S.

Q4 net revenue increased by +66% to £194m. Adjusted operating profit increased +109% to £134m, for a +1,360bp expansion in the margin to 69.1%.
Suboxone has data exclusivity in Europe until 2016: in the U.S., Suboxone lostthe exclusivity afforded by its Orphan Drug Status on 8th October 2009. Withinthe Pharmaceuticals division, the U.S. Suboxone business generated FY netrevenue of £502m and adjusted operating profit of £345m. While the Groupcontinues to search for ways to offset the impact of the loss of exclusivity inthe U.S., up to 80% of the revenue and profit of that business might be lost inthe year following the launch of generic competitors, with the possibility offurther erosion thereafter. FY 2009 Category Review (at Constant Exchange Rates) Fabric Care. Net revenue was unchanged versus the prior year, at £1,578m. Vanish increased, driven by a strong performance in Developing Markets; Woolitealso contributed, supported by such initiatives as Triple Protection.
