IRVINE, Calif. — Allergan announced $0.81 diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders in its third quarter operating results, compared with a diluted loss of $2.21 per share attributable to stockholders in the third quarter of 2010, according to a news release.

As a result, the company's board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share.

In total, the company reported $1.3 billion in total product net sales, an increase of 10% over sales in the third quarter of 2010, the release said.

"We are encouraged by the continuing good growth of our global cash pay businesses in the quarter," David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's board chairman, president and CEO, said in the release.

Key developments for the quarter include the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence issuing final guidance for Ozurdex (dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7 mg) for the treatment of macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion and for some cases of branch retinal vein occlusion.
