Some quick fundamentals on VRX

I trade on charts but when I start taking a chart only position as I've started here with a sub $40 average price, I start looking at fundamentals before I jump in with a significant position.

Here is what I pulled up.  Can someone very familiar with Valeant confirm these numbers. Please let me know where you get the numbers. 

Sorry, I don't trust a single person here unless I know the real person behind the anonymous account.
