They are not one to predict and then under deliver so yes i agree that the revenue figure must be very close. With two weeks prior to Christmas what is the expected revenue forecast in that period?. Interesting time to lay out a end of quarter forecast. Perhaps it was aimed at a "market" audience in light of recent raising support and SP lull ( is there a better word to use ?)
i would also have liked. as you suggest pharma, some words on US sales. Perhaps in the notes to the quarterly in January.
The release certainly looks to the future as much as it does to the current quarterly sales outcome.
Perhaps there are other interpretation of the phrasing, tone and outlook.
