We met our financial objectives, delivering steady top-line growth, significant core operating margin expansion and strong cash flow generation to fund our external innovation strategy.\u00a0 The fact these achievements took place against the backdrop of the pandemic is remarkable and speaks to the dedication and patient-centricity of our highly motivated employees. We made encouraging pipeline progress, especially in Oncology.\u00a0 In December we announced our new strategy which will drive long-term value for all our stakeholders: Focus. Together. For patients &amp; society. While the world continues to face uncertain business conditions in 2021, I am confident that Ipsen will build on its strong foundations and execute on its strategy to deliver another successful year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ipsen is executing on the four key pillars of its new strategy presented in December 2020:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:3px\">The Group is focused on maximizing the value of its current Specialty Care product portfolio through commercial excellence and geographic expansion. It aims to maximize its core brands and capture the full potential of its innovative oncology products. A strategic review of the Consumer Healthcare business is proceeding.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:3px\">Ipsen\u2019s priority is to build a sustainable pipeline to drive long-term growth. Recent initiatives have prioritized the pipeline on the highest potential opportunities and progressed the transformation of the R&amp;D organization. Ipsen is strengthening its external innovation efforts by targeting differentiated medicines in its three core therapeutics areas of Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience, with a broader disease and modality scope than previously defined, and across all stages of clinical development.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:3px\">The company is committed to generating efficiencies through a focused and agile operating model. Leveraging smart spending, streamlined operations, manufacturing efficiencies and optimizing digitalization, the Group will be able to reinvest in R&amp;D and external innovation to fuel future growth.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:3px\">Patients and society are at the core of Ipsen\u2019s mission, starting with fully engaged employees and a culture of accountability to perform and compete in the long term. Ipsen is highly committed to its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives which are centered around employees, community and the environment, as reflected throughout the organization and in the inclusion of responsibility metrics in management compensation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Comparison of 2020 performance with financial objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Group exceeded its Full
