Bull points
- I think the trend was roughly about 12 million grams or so of IG being sold by the industry to distributors or direct customers throughout the year on a monthly basis. I want to say in December there was about 16 million grams or so sold.
- What I find encouraging, Anthony, is that Bibigam has returned to what I would like to say normal levels in April from a utilization standpoint.
- April was the best utilization month of the year so far.
Bear points
- there's some excess inventory with respect to standard IG from the overall industry in the channel that needs to work its way through.
- how much more they want to erode their ASPs.
- heavy discounting from new entrants. And if you look at the ASP of some of the new products out there, you can see that from their launch to where they are now in the second quarter from an ASP reported to CMS level, they've discounted in the order of between 15% to 20% they've eroded from their original pricing.
