Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). Our first question is from the line of Jon Wood with Bank of America. Please go ahead.
Jon Wood - Bank of America
Martin, you increased your currency revenue guidance by about a 1.5. Can you give us a sense of what proportion of that is related to the [flu-build]? Is the flu-build a meaningful component of that raise? Also, have you made any changes to your internal projections for Biosciences?
Martin Madaus
Yes, it's not whatever you call meaningful, it's a part of it, but there are some other dynamics in Bioprocess that also contribute to the improved performance overall for the year. So, flu production plays a role, but there are other parts that are also doing better overall. So, our revised revenue growth, excluding currency is 5% to 6% and we feel confident about that.
Bioscience is suffering a bit more in the areas that I pointed out. We have a number of good trends too and we are counting also on a number of new products are coming up in the second half. So, Bioprocess actually (inaudible) little bit faster than bioscience.
Jon Wood - Bank of America
Then any change or expected change in the process monitoring business given the manufacturing issues we have seen in the quarter? I mean do you expect that there will be any increased focus there going forward?
Martin Madaus
Manufacturing issues? Which ones are you referring to?
Jon Wood - Bank of America
I'm talking about the Genzyme issue.
Martin Madaus
Yes, that's one drug, one company is really making any impact on that. That's actually happening quite a bit. Sometimes you hear about it. Sometimes you don't, but, no, it's not a significant impact.
Jon Wood - Bank of America
Correct me if I'm wrong, you said that the Bioscience division was flat ex-Guava.
Martin Madaus
Yes, that's correct.
Jon Wood - Bank of America
But it was only 1% to the total company revenue gross. Is it just a rounding issue?
Charlie Wagner
Yes.
Martin Madaus
Yes. Rounding issue.
Jon Wood - Bank of America
Then Charlie, any change the FX, I think you said negative $0.07 and negative $0.09 for the year. Any change to that?
Charlie Wagner
For the year, foreign exchange will take less than $0.05 off of last year.
