The new guidance requires usalso simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
For information on new accounting standards adopted in 2020, see Note 1B in our 2020 Form 10-K.
C. Change in Accounting Principle
In the first quarter of 2021, we adopted a change in accounting principle to identify, analyze, documenta more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP to immediately recognize actuarial gains and support new methodologieslosses arising from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement plans (MTM Accounting).Under the prior policy, we deferred recognition of these gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accumulated actuarial gains/losses outside of a “corridor” were then amortized into net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period or the average life expectancy of participants. This change has been applied to all pension and postretirement plans on a retrospective basis for quantifying expected creditall prior periods presented, and as of January 1, 2020, resulted in a cumulative effect decrease to Retained earnings of $6.3 billion, with a corresponding offset to Accumulated other comprehensive loss estimates for certain financial instruments, using information such. Each time a pension or postretirement plan is remeasured, the actuarial gain or loss is recognized immediately and classified as historical experience,Other (income)/deductions––net.
We believe that MTM Accounting is a more preferable policy as it provides improved transparency of results and performance, better alignment with fair value accounting principles and a better reflection of current economic conditions and information,interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions and the useactuarial impact of reasonable and supportable forecasted information. The standard also amends existing impairment guidance for available-for-sale debt securities to incorporate a credit loss allowance and allows for reversals of credit impairments in the event the issuer’s credit improves.plan remeasurements.
We adopted the new accounting standard utilizing the modified retrospective method and, therefore, no adjustments were made to amounts in our prior period financial statements. The cumulative effect of adopting the standard as an adjustment to the

Goodwill Impairment Testing––We prospectively adopted the new standard, which eliminates the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. There was no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new standard.
Implementation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement––We prospectively adopted the new standard related to customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Collaboration Agreements––We prospectively adopted the new standard, which provides new guidance clarifying the interaction between the accounting for collaborative arrangements and revenue from contracts with customers. There was no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new standard.
On January 1, 2019, we adopted 4 new accounting standards. For additional information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 1B. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Adoption of New Accounting Standards in 2019 included in our 2019 Financial Report.

In the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccine products directly to the federal government, CDC, wholesalers, individual provider offices, retail pharmacies and integrated delivery networks. Outside the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccines to government and non-government institutions.
Deductions from Revenues––Our accruals for Medicare, rebates, Medicaid and related state program rebates,and performance-based contract rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns and cash discounts are as follows:

Trade Accounts Receivable––Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses against gross trade accounts receivable reflects theour best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type (high risk versus low risk and government versus non-government), and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.
In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted, and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk,

specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted.
During the three and ninesix months ended September 27,July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Upjohn Separation and Combination with Mylan
On November 16, 2020, we completed the spin-off and the combination of the Upjohn Business with Mylan to form Viatris. See Note 1A.
In connection with this transaction, Pfizer and Viatris entered into various agreements to effect the separation and combination to provide a framework for our relationship after the combination, including a separation and distribution agreement, interim operating models, including agency arrangements, manufacturing and supply agreements (MSAs), transition service agreements (TSAs), a tax matters agreement, and an employee matters agreement, among others. The interim agency operating model arrangements primarily include billings, collections and remittance of rebates that we are performing on a transitional basis on behalf of Viatris. Under the MSAs, Pfizer or Viatris, as the case may be, manufactures, labels and packages products for the other party. In the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, the amounts recorded under the above agreements were not material to our consolidated results of operations. Net amounts due from Viatris under the above agreements were approximately $434 million as of July 4, 2021 and $401 million as of December 31, 2020. The cash flows associated with the above agreements are included in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, except fora $277 million payment to Viatris made in the first quarter of 2021 pursuant to terms of the separation agreement, which is reported in Other financing activities, net, and was recorded as a payable to Viatris in Other current liabilities as of December 31, 2020. In addition, Pfizer and Mylan had pre-existing arms-length commercial agreements, which are continuing with Viatris and are not material to Pfizer’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisition, Equity-Method Investment and Licensing Arrangements
A. Acquisition
Array
On July 30, 2019, we acquired Array, a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted small molecule medicines to treat cancer and other diseases of high unmet need, for $48 per share in cash. The total fair value of the consideration transferred was $11.2 billion ($10.9 billion, net of cash acquired). Array’s portfolio includes Braftovi (encorafenib) and Mektovi (binimetinib), a broad pipeline of targeted cancer medicines in different stages of R&D, as well as a portfolio of outlicensed medicines, which may generate milestones and royalties over time. The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has now been completed. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded: (i) $6.3 billion in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $2.0 billion of Developed technology rights with a useful life of 16 years, $2.8 billion of IPR&D and $1.5 billion for Licensing agreements ($1.2 billion for technology in development––indefinite-lived licensing agreements and $360 million for developed technology––finite-lived licensing agreements with a useful life of 10 years), (ii) $6.1 billion of Goodwill, (iii) $1.1 billion of net deferred tax liabilities and (iv) $451 million of assumed long-term debt, which was paid in full in the third quarter of 2019.
In 2020, we recorded measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values initially recorded in 2019, which resulted in a reduction in Identifiable intangible assets of approximately $900 million with a corresponding change to Goodwill and net deferred tax liabilities. The measurement period adjustments were recorded to better reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020.
B. Equity-Method Investment
Formation of GSK Consumer Healthcare Joint VentureJV
On July 31, 2019, we completed thea transaction in which we and GSK combined our respective consumer healthcare businesses into a new consumer healthcare joint ventureJV that operates globally under the GSK Consumer Healthcare name. In exchange, for contributing our Consumer Healthcare business to the joint venture, we received a 32% equity stake in the new company and GSK owns the remaining 68%. Upon the closing of the transaction, we deconsolidated our Consumer Healthcare business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $8.1 billion ($5.4 billion, net of tax) in our fiscal third quarter of 2019 in (Gain) on completion of Consumer Healthcare JV transaction for the difference in the fair value of our 32% equity stake in the new company and the carrying value of our Consumer Healthcare business. We may record additional adjustments to the gain in future periods, which we do not expect to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our financial results, and our Consumer Healthcare segment’s operating results, for the third quarter of 2019 reflect one month of Consumer Healthcare segment domestic operations and two months of Consumer Healthcare segment international operations. Likewise, our financial results, and our Consumer Healthcare segment’s operating results, for the first nine months of 2019 reflect seven months of Consumer Healthcare segment domestic operations and eight months of Consumer Healthcare segment international operations. The financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 do not reflect any contribution from the Consumer Healthcare business.
We are accounting for our interest in GSKthe Consumer Healthcare JV as an equity-method investment. The carrying value of our investment in GSKthe Consumer Healthcare JV is approximately $15.8$16.4 billion as of September 27, 2020July 4, 2021 and $17.0$16.7 billion as of December 31, 20192020 and is reported as a private equity investment in the Equity-method investments line in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The decrease in the value of our investment from December 31, 2019 to September 27, 2020 is primarily due to dividends totaling approximately $617$274 million, as well as $200 million in pre-tax foreign currency translation adjustments (see Note 6), as well as dividends totaling approximately $825 million, which were received from the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture in June and September 2020, partially offset by our share of the joint venture’s earnings during that period of $306 million.JV’s earnings.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we preliminarily completed the allocation of the basis difference, which resulteddifferences resulting from the excess of the initial fair value of our investment over the underlying equity in the carrying value of the net assets of the joint venture, primarily to inventory, definite-lived intangible assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets, related deferred tax liabilities and equity method goodwill within the investment account. During the fourth quarter of 2019, GSK Consumer Healthcare revised the initial carrying value of the net assets of the joint venture and our 32% share of the underlying equity in the carrying value of the net assets of GSK Consumer Healthcare was reduced to approximately $11.0 billion and our initial basis difference was increased to approximately $4.8 billion. The adjustment was allocated to equity method goodwill within the investment account. We began recording the amortization of basis differences allocated to inventory, definite-lived intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities in Other (income)/deductions—net commencing August 1, 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, we recognized a write-off of a portion of our basis differences allocated to indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities associated with the divestiture of certain brands by GSK Consumer Healthcare during its second quarter of 2020. The amortization and write-off of these basis differences for the second quarter of 2020 totaling approximately $62 million of expenseJV is included in our operating results in Other (income)/deductions––net inthe third quarterand was not material to our results of 2020. The total amortization and write-off of these basis differences for the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first six months of 2020, which was included in our operating results in Other (income)/deductions—netoperations in the first nine months of 2020, was approximately $110 million of expense.periods presented. See Note 4.Amortization of basis differences on inventory and related deferred tax liabilities was completely recognized by the second quarter of 2020. Basis differences on definite-lived intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities are being amortized over the lives of the underlying assets, which range from 8 to 20 years.
As a part of Pfizer, pre-tax income on a management business unit basis for the Consumer Healthcare business was $100 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $654 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Agreement with BioNTech
On April 9, 2020, we signed a global agreement with BioNTech to co-develop a potential first-in-class, mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine program, BNT162, aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. The collaboration aims to rapidly advance multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates into human clinical testing based on BioNTech’s proprietary mRNA vaccine platforms, with the objective of ensuring rapid worldwide access to the vaccine, if approved. The collaboration leverages our broad expertise in vaccine R&D, regulatory capabilities, and global manufacturing and distribution network. In connection with the agreement, we paid BioNTech an upfront cash payment of $72 million, which was recorded in Research and development expenses in our fiscal second quarter of 2020, and we made an equity investment of $113 million in common stock of BioNTech. BioNTech is eligible to receive potential future milestone payments of up to $563 million for a total consideration of $748 million. While Pfizer and BioNTech will share development costs equally if the vaccine is approved and successfully commercialized, Pfizer will be responsible for all of the development costs until commercialization of the vaccine. Thereafter, BioNTech would repay Pfizer its 50 percent share of these development costs through reductions in gross profit sharing and milestone payments to BioNTech over time. BioNTech and Pfizer will also work jointly to commercialize the vaccine worldwide (excluding China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which are subject to a separate collaboration between BioNTech and Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd) if development is successful and regulatory approval is obtained. We made an additional investment of $50 million in common stock of BioNTech as part of an underwritten equity offering by BioNTech, which closed in July 2020. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example:
•In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and
•In connection with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems.
All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and R&D, as well as our corporate enabling functions (such as digital, global real estate operations, legal, finance, human resources, worldwide public affairs, compliance and worldwide procurement).
A. Transforming to a More Focused Company Program

Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we began to identifymedicines and undertakevaccines. We have undertaken efforts to ensure our cost base aligns appropriately with our Biopharmaceutical revenue base as a result of both the completed GSK Consumer Healthcare and expected Upjohn transactions.new operating structure. While certain direct costs have transferred or will transfer to the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint ventureJV and to the Upjohn entities,Business in connection with the spin-off, there are indirect costs which aredid not expected to transfer. In addition, we are taking steps to restructure our organizationscorporate enabling functions to appropriately support and drive the purpose of the three core functions of our focused innovative medicines business:business and R&D Manufacturing and Commercial.
We expect corporate enabling functionPGS platform functions. The program costs associated with this multi-year programdiscussed below are expected to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, and may be rounded and represent approximations.
We expect costs for this program, primarily related to corporate enabling functions, to total approximately $1.2$1.6 billion on a pre-tax basis, with substantially all costs to be cash expenditures. Actions may include, among others, changes in location of certain activities, expanded use and co-location of centers of excellence and shared services, and increased use of digital technologies. The associated actions and the specific costs will primarily include severance and benefit plan impacts, exit costs as well as associated implementation costs.

(a)The fair value amount is presented as of the date of impairment, as these assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
(b)Reflects intangible assets written down to fair value in the first nine months of 2020. Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows.
Note 5. Tax Matters
A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was (1.2)%15.8% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2021, compared to 14.0% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 28.4% for the third quarter of 2019 and was 9.7%15.0% for the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, compared to 13.4%13.3% for the first ninesix months of 2019.2020.
The lowerhigher effective tax rate for the thirdsecond quarter and first six months of 2021, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2020, in comparison with the same period in 2019 was primarily due to:
•the non-recurrence of the tax expense of $2.7 billion recorded in the third quarter of 2019 associated with the gain related to the completion of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction;
•tax benefits associated with intangible asset impairment charges of $900 million related to Biopharma IPR&D acquired in connection with our Array acquisition; and
•the favorablea change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business.
The lower effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 in comparison with the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the aforementioned factors above, partially offset by:
•the non-recurrence of the $1.4 billion tax benefits, representing taxes and interest, recorded in the first nine months of 2019 due to the favorable settlement of an IRS audit for multiple tax years (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5D. Tax Matters: Tax Contingencies in our 2019 Financial Report); and
•the non-recurrence of the tax benefit recorded in the first nine months of 2019 as a result of additional guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury related to the TCJA.BNT162b2.
We have elected, with the filing of our 2018 U.S. Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, to pay our initial estimated $15 billion repatriation tax liability on accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings over eight years through 2026. The third annual installment of this liability whichwas paid by its April 15, 2021 due date. The fourth annual installment is due to be paid in April 2021,15, 2022 and is reported in current Incometaxes payable, and the as of July 4, 2021. The remaining liability is reported in noncurrent Other taxes payablepayable. in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2020. Our obligations may vary as a result of changes in our uncertain tax positions and/or availability of attributes such as foreign tax and other credit carryforwards.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in the U.S. to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, governments around the world have enacted or implemented various forms of tax relief measures in response to the economic conditions in the wake of COVID-19. As of September 27, 2020, neither the CARES Act nor changes to income tax laws or regulations in other jurisdictions had a significant impact on our effective tax rate.
B. Tax Contingencies
We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire, as we treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution.
The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the IRS. With respect to Pfizer, the IRS has issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR)Reports (RARs) for tax years 2011-2013.2011-2013 and 2014-2015. We are not in agreement with the RARRARs and are currently appealing certain disputed issues. Tax years 2014-20152016-2018 are currently under audit. Tax years 2016-20202019-2021 are open

but not under audit. All other tax years are closed.
In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in othercertain major international tax jurisdictions such as Canada (2013-2020), Japan (2017-2020), Europe (2011-2020, primarily reflecting Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Germany), Latin America (1998-2020, primarily reflecting Brazil) and Puerto Rico (2016-2020).dating back to 2010.

The actuarial gains/(losses) activity mainly reflects interim U.S. Pfizer Consolidated Pension remeasurements, which resulted in an increase of $1.2 billion in the pension plan liability, primarily due to a reduction in the discount rate since December 31, 2019.

These financial instruments serve to mitigate the impact on net income as a result of remeasurement into another currency, or against the impact of translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange-denominated transactions.
The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, U.K. pound, Japanese yen Swedish krona and Chinese renminbi.
As a part of our cash flow hedging program, we designate foreign exchange contracts toCanadian dollar. We hedge a portion of our forecasted intercompany inventory sales denominated in euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar, U.K. pound and Australian dollar-denominated intercompany inventory sales expecteddollar for up to occur no more than two years from the date of each hedge.years.

Interest Rate Risk
Our interest-bearing investments and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. From time to time, dependingDepending on market conditions, we willmay change the profile of our outstanding debt or investments by entering into derivative financial instruments like interest rate swaps, either to hedge or offset the exposure to changes in the fair value of hedged items with fixed interest rates, or to convert variable rate debt (or investments)or investments to fixed rates. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt.

Certain of our derivative financial instruments are covered by associated credit-support agreements that have credit-risk-related contingent features designed to reduce both counterparties’ exposure to risk of defaulting on amounts owed by the other party. As of September 27, 2020, the aggregate fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are in a net liability position was $1.1 billion, for which we have posted collateral of $1.2 billion in the normal course of business. If there had been a downgrade by S&P or Moody’s, we would not have been required to post any additional collateral.
As of September 27, 2020, we received cash collateral of $169 million from various counterparties that fully supports the approximate fair value of our derivative contracts and is reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.
F. Credit Risk
On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to our foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk related to our financial instruments with any individual counterparty. For additional information about concentrations of certain credit risk related to certain significant customers, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 17C. Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information: Other Revenue Information in Pfizer’s 2019 Financial Report. As of September 27, 2020, we had $1.4 billion due from a well-diversified, high quality group of banks from around the world. For details about our investments, see Note 7B.
In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. However, derivative financial instruments are executed under credit-support agreements that provide for the ability to request to receive cash collateral, depending on levels of exposure, our credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty.

A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable balances are due from drug wholesalers. For additional information on our trade accounts receivables with significant customers, see Note 13B below and Note 17B in our 2020 Form 10-K.
As of July 4, 2021, the largest investment exposures in our portfolio represent primarily sovereign debt instruments issued by Japan, Germany, U.K., Canada, France, Denmark, Australia and the Netherlands.
With respect to our derivative financial instrument agreements with financial institutions, we do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparty. Derivative financial instruments are executed under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with credit-support annexes that contain zero threshold provisions requiring collateral to be exchanged daily depending on levels of exposure. As a result, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual financial institution. As of July 4, 2021, the aggregate fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are in a net payable position was $618 million, for which we have posted collateral of $716 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term investments. As of July 4, 2021, the aggregate fair value of our derivative financial instruments that are in a net receivable position was $35 million, for which we have received collateral of $25 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

(a)The changeincrease in the gross carrying amount primarily reflect the transferreflects $500 million of $600 million from IPR&Dcapitalized BNT162b2 sales milestones to Developed technology rights to reflect the approval of Braftovi in combination with Erbitux® (cetuximab), for the treatment of BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer after prior therapy and a $200 million measurement period adjustment related to the acquisition of Array (see Note2A).BioNTech.
(b)The changes in the gross carrying amounts primarily reflect the transfer of $600 million from Indefinite-lived Licensing agreements and other to finite-lived Licensing agreements and other to reflect the approval in the U.S. of several products subject to out-licensing arrangements acquired from Array, as well as measurement period adjustments related to the acquisition of Array.
(c)The changes in the gross carrying amount primarily reflect a $1.2 billion measurement period adjustment related to the acquisition of Array, a $900 million impairment of IPR&D (see Note 4), and the transfer of $600 million from IPR&D to Developed technology rights to reflect the approval of Braftovi in combination with Erbitux® (cetuximab), for the treatment of BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer after prior therapy.
(d)The decrease is primarily due to amortization, partially offset by the $900 million impairmentcapitalization of IPR&D, and measurement period adjustments related to the acquisition of Array.BNT162b2 milestones described above.

Note 13.12. Contingencies and Certain Commitments
We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including tax and legal contingencies. The following outlines our legal contingencies. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5B. For a discussion of our legal contingencies, see below.
A. Legal Proceedings
Our legal contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. We are the plaintiff in the majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in loss of patent protection for a drug, a significant loss of revenues from that drug or impairment of the value of associated assets.
•Product liability and other product-related litigation, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters.
•Commercial and other asserted or unasserted matters, which can include acquisition-, licensing-, intellectual property-, collaboration- or co-promotion-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter.
PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
•Government investigations, which often are related to the extensive regulation of pharmaceutical companies by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions.
Certain of these contingencies could result in increased expenses and/or losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, which could be substantial, and/or criminal charges.
We believe that our claims and defenses in matters in which we are a defendant are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developmentswhich could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are accrued or paid.
We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. Our assessments, which result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties, are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions.
Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in order to assess materiality, such as, among other things,others, the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought, in the proceeding, if such damages and other relief are specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be, or is, a class action and, if not certified, our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; whether related actions have been transferred to multidistrict litigation; any experience that we or, to our knowledge, other companies have had in similar proceedings; whether disclosure of the action would be important to a reader of our financial statements, including whether disclosure might change a reader’s judgment about our financial statements in light of all of the information that is available to the reader; the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation; and the extent of public interest in the matter. In addition, with respect to patent matters in which we are the plaintiff, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent(s) at issue. As a resultSome of considering qualitative factors in our determination of principal matters, there are somethe matters discussed below with respect toinclude those which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.

A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation
Like other pharmaceutical companies, weWe are involved in numerous suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to, those discussed below. Most of the suits involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products (or those of our collaboration/licensing partners), processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic drug manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed alleging that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents on a number of our products that are discussed below, patent rights to certain of our products or those of our collaboration/licensing partners are being challenged in various other jurisdictions. For example, some of our collaboration or licensing partners face challenges to the validity of their patent rights in non-U.S. jurisdictions. We are also party to patent damages suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments or other parties are seeking damages from us for allegedly causing delay of generic entry. Additionally, our licensing and collaboration partners face challenges by generic drug manufacturers to patents covering products for which we have licenses or co-promotion rights.
We also are often involved in other proceedings, such as inter partes review, post-grant review, re-examination or opposition proceedings, before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, or other foreign counterparts relating to our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others. Also, if one of our patents is found to be invalid by such proceedings, generic or competitive products could be introduced into the market resulting in the erosion of sales of our existing products. For example, several of the patents in our pneumococcal vaccine portfolio were challenged in inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings in the U.S. In October 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) refusedinitiated proceedings, which remain pending, with respect to 2 of our pneumococcal vaccine patents. However, the PTAB declined to initiate proceedings as to two other pneumococcal vaccine patents; those 2 patents. In June 2018, the PTAB ruled on anotherpatents, and 1 other patent, holding that 1 claim was valid and that all other claims were invalid. The party challenging that patent appealed the decision. In November 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the PTAB’s ruling and requested that the PTAB redecide the challenge.In March and June 2019, an additional patent was found invalidare now being challenged in separate proceedings by the PTAB. We appealed. In January 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the original decision and requested that the PTAB redecide the case.federal court in Delaware. Challenges to other pneumococcal vaccine patents remain pending in jurisdictions outside the U.S.The invalidation of allany of the patents in our pneumococcal portfolio could potentially allow a competitor’s pneumococcal vaccine into the marketplace. In the event

that any of the patents are found valid and infringed, a competitor’s pneumococcal vaccine might be prohibited from entering the market or a competitor might be required to pay Pfizerus a royalty.
We are also subject to patent litigation pursuant to which one or more third parties seek damages and/or injunctive relief to compensate for alleged infringement of its patents by our commercial or other activities. For example, our Hospira subsidiaries are involved in patent and patent-related disputes over their attempts to bring generic pharmaceutical and biosimilar products to market. If one of our marketed products is found to infringe valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages, or we may be prevented from further sales of that product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold in the event thatif we or one of our subsidiaries like Hospira, is found to have willfully infringed valid patent rights of a third party.

Lyrica (pregabalin)
•United Kingdom
In June 2014, Generics (U.K.) Ltd (trading as Mylan) filed an invalidity action against the Lyrica pain use patent in the High Court of Justice in London. Subsequently, Actavis Group PTC ehf filed an invalidity action in the same court, and Pfizer sued Actavis Group PTC ehf, Actavis U.K. Ltd and Caduceus Pharma Ltd (together, Actavis) for infringement and requested preliminary relief. Our request for preliminary relief was denied in a January 2015 hearing, and the denial subsequently was confirmed on appeal.
In February 2015, the National Health Service (NHS) England was ordered by the High Court, as an intermediary, to issue guidance for prescribers and pharmacists directing the prescription and dispensing of Lyrica by brand when pregabalin was prescribed for the treatment of neuropathic pain. NHS Wales and NHS Northern Ireland also issued prescribing guidance. The guidance to prescribe and dispense Lyrica for neuropathic pain was withdrawn upon patent expiration in July 2017.
We also filed infringement actions against (i) Teva UK Ltd, and (ii) Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (UK) Ltd and Caduceus Pharma Ltd (together, Dr. Reddy’s) in February 2015, seeking the same relief as in the action against Actavis. Dr. Reddy’s filed an invalidity counterclaim. These actions were stayed pending the outcome of the Mylan and Actavis cases.
The Mylan and Actavis invalidity actions were heard in the High Court at the same time as the Actavis infringement action. The High Court ruled against us, holding that the asserted claims were either not infringed or invalid, and appeals followed. In November 2018, the U.K. Supreme Court ruled that all the relevant claims directed to neuropathic pain were invalid.

A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation
Like other pharmaceutical companies, weWe are defendants in numerous cases, including but not limited to those discussed below, related to our pharmaceutical and other products. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss.
Asbestos
Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation (American Optical), which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. Claims against American Optical and numerous other defendants are pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials. Warner-Lambert was acquired by Pfizer in 2000 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Warner-Lambert is actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means of resolving, these claims.
Numerous lawsuits against American Optical, Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries are pending against Pfizer in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products allegedly containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries.

There also are a small number of lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos in facilities owned or formerly owned by Pfizer or its subsidiaries.
Effexor
Beginning in May 2011, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal courts against Wyeth and, in certain of the actions, affiliates of Wyeth and certain other defendants relating to Effexor XR, which is the extended-release formulation of Effexor. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions seek to represent a class consisting of all persons in the U.S. and its territories who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR from any of the defendants from June 14, 2008 until the time the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct ceased. The plaintiffs in all of the actions allege delay in the launch of generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories, in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in certain of the actions, the antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws of certain states, as the result of Wyeth fraudulently obtaining and improperly listing certain patents for Effexor XR in the Orange Book, enforcing certain patents for Effexor XR and entering into a litigation settlement agreement with a generic drug manufacturer with respect to Effexor XR. Each of the plaintiffs seeks treble damages (for itself in the individual actions or on behalf of the putative class in the purported class actions) for alleged price overcharges for Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories since June 14, 2008. All of these actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In October 2014, the District Court dismissed the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ claims based on the litigation settlement agreement, but declined to dismiss the other direct purchaser plaintiff claims. In January 2015, the District Court entered partial final judgments as to all settlement agreement claims, including those asserted by direct purchasers and end-payer plaintiffs, which plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

The plaintiffs allege delay in the launch of generic Lipitor, in violation of federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws, resulting from (i) the 2008 agreement pursuant to which Pfizer and Ranbaxy settled certain patent litigation involving Lipitor and Pfizer granted Ranbaxy a license to sell a generic version of Lipitor in various markets beginning on varying dates, and (ii) in certain of the actions, the procurement and/or enforcement of certain patents for Lipitor. Each of the actions seeks, among other things, treble damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged price overcharges for Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) during the Class Period. In addition, individual actions have been filed against Pfizer, Ranbaxy and certain of their affiliates, among others, that assert claims and seek relief for the plaintiffs that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above.

Beginning in February 2017, purported class actions were filed in various federal courts by indirect purchasers of EpiPen against Pfizer, and/or its affiliates King and Meridian, and/or various entities affiliated with Mylan, and Mylan former Chief Executive Officer, Heather Bresch. The plaintiffs in these actions seek to represent U.S. nationwide classes comprising persons or entities who paid for any portion of the end-user purchase price of an EpiPen between 2009 until the cessation of the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct. In February 2020, a similar lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against Pfizer, King, Meridian and the Mylan entities on behalf of a purported U.S. nationwide class of direct purchaser plaintiffs who purchased EpiPen devices directly from the defendants (the 2020 Lawsuit). AgainstPlaintiffs in these actions generally allege, against Pfizer and/or its affiliates, plaintiffs in these actions generally allege that Pfizer’s and/or its affiliates’ settlement of patent litigation regarding EpiPen delayed market entry of generic EpiPen in violation of federal antitrust laws and various state antitrust laws. At least 1 lawsuit also alleges that Pfizer and/or Mylan violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Plaintiffs also filed various federal antitrust, state consumer protection and unjust enrichment claims against, and relating to conduct attributable solely to, Mylan and/or its affiliates regarding EpiPen. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for alleged overcharges for EpiPen since 2011.

A3. Legal Proceedings––Commercial and Other Matters
Monsanto-Related Matters
In 1997, Monsanto Company (Former Monsanto) contributed certain chemical manufacturing operations and facilities to a newly formed corporation, Solutia Inc. (Solutia), and spun off the shares of Solutia. In 2000, Former Monsanto merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn Company to form Pharmacia. Pharmacia then transferred its agricultural operations to a newly created subsidiary, named Monsanto Company (New Monsanto), which it spun off in a two-stage process that was completed in 2002. Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer in 2003 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.
In connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities related to Pharmacia’s former agricultural business. New Monsanto has defended and/or is defending Pharmacia in connection with various claims and litigation arising out of, or related to, the agricultural business, and has been indemnifying Pharmacia when liability has been imposed or settlement has been reached regarding such claims and litigation.
In connection with its spin-off in 1997, Solutia assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, liabilities related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses. As the result of its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Solutia’s indemnification obligations relating to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses are primarily limited to sites that Solutia has owned or operated. In addition, in connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities primarily related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses, including, but not limited to, any such liabilities that Solutia assumed. Solutia’s and New Monsanto’s assumption of, and agreement to indemnify Pharmacia for, these liabilities apply to pending actions and any future actions related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses in which Pharmacia is named as a defendant, including, without limitation, actions asserting environmental claims, including alleged exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls. Solutia and/or New Monsanto are defending Pharmacia in connection with various claims and litigation arising out of, or related to, Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses, and have been indemnifying Pharmacia when liability has been imposed or settlement has been reached regarding such claims and litigation.

During the first nine months of 2020, certain matters, including the matter discussed below, were resolved or became the subject of definitive settlement agreements or settlement agreements-in-principle.
Hormone Therapy Consumer Class Action
A certified consumer class action was pending against Wyeth in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California based on the alleged off-label marketing of its hormone therapy products. The case was originally filed in December 2003. The class consisted of California consumers who purchased Wyeth’s hormone-replacement products between January 1995 and January 2003 and who did not seek personal injury damages therefrom. The class sought compensatory and punitive damages, including a full refund of the purchase price. In March 2020, the parties reached an agreement, and obtained preliminary court approval, to resolve this matter for $200 million, which was paid in full in the second quarter of 2020.
B. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities prior to or following a transaction. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we may be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to various restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of September 27, 2020,July 4, 2021, the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations was not significant.

In addition, in connection with our entry into certain agreements and other transactions, our counterparties may agree to indemnify us. For example, our collaboration agreement with EMD Serono, Inc. to co-promote Rebif in the U.S. expired at the end of 2015 and included certain indemnity provisions. Patent litigation brought by Biogen Idec MA Inc. against EMD Serono Inc. and Pfizer is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. EMD Serono Inc. has acknowledged that it is obligated to satisfy any award of damages. In addition, in November 2020, we and Mylan completed the transaction to spin-off our Upjohn Business and combine it with Mylan to form Viatris. As part of the transaction and as previously disclosed, Viatris has agreed to assume, and to indemnify Pfizer for, liabilities arising out of certain matters.
Pfizer Inc. hasWe have also guaranteed the long-term debt of certain companies that itwe acquired and that now are subsidiaries of Pfizer. See Note 7D.
C. Contingent Consideration for Acquisitions
We may be required to make payments to sellers for certain prior business combinations that are contingent upon future events or outcomes. For additional information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 1D. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Acquisition1D s in our 2019 Financial Report. The estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of September 27, 2020 is $701 million, of which $125 million is recorded in Other current liabilities and $576 million in Other noncurrent liabilities and $711 million, of which $160 million was recorded in Other current liabilities and $551 million in Other noncurrent liabilities as ofDecember 31, 2019. The decrease in the contingent consideration balance from December 31, 2019 is primarily due to payments made upon the achievement of certain milestones, partially offset by fair value adjustments.Form 10-K.

•Corporate and Other Unallocated––the costs associated with corporate enabling functions (such as digital, global real estate operations, legal, finance, human resources, worldwide public affairs, compliance, and worldwide procurement), patient advocacy activities and certain compensation and other corporate costs, such as interest income and expense, and gains and losses on investments, as well as overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing (which include manufacturing variances associated with production) and commercial operations that are not directly assessed to an operating segment, as business unit (segment) management does not manage these costs. Corporate and Other Unallocated also includes our share of earnings from the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture and other charges related to the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture, primarily representing our pro-rata share of restructuring and business combination accounting charges recorded by the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture.
•Certain transactions and events such as (i) purchase accounting adjustments, where we incur expenses associated with the amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory, intangible assets and PP&E; (ii) acquisition-related costs, where we incur costs for executing the transaction, integrating the acquired operations and restructuring the combined company; and (iii) certain significant items, representing substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as gains on the completion of joint venture transactions, restructuring charges, legal charges or gains and losses from equity securities) that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. Such items can include, but are not limited to, non-acquisition-related restructuring costs, as well as costs incurred for legal settlements, asset impairments and disposals of assets or businesses, including, as applicable, any associated transition activities.
Segment Assets

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pfizer Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 27, 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE, OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our Business and Strategy
We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives through the discovery, development, manufacture and distribution of healthcare products, including innovative medicines and vaccines. We work across developed and emerging markets to advance wellness, prevention, treatments and cures that challenge the most feared diseases of our time. We collaborate with healthcare providers, governments and local communities to support and expand access to reliable, affordable healthcare around the world. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our products and, to a much lesser extent, from alliance agreements, under which we co-promote products discovered or developed by other companies or us (Alliance revenues).
At the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year, we began to manage our commercial operations through a new global structure consisting of three business segments––Biopharma, Upjohn and, through July 31, 2019, Consumer Healthcare. Biopharma and Upjohn are the only reportable segments. For additional information about this operating structure, see Note 14Aand the “Commercial Operations” section in Part I, Item 1, “Business” of our 2019 Form 10-K.
Beginning in 2020, Upjohn began managing our Meridian subsidiary, the manufacturer of EpiPen and other auto-injector products, and a pre-existing strategic collaboration between Pfizer and Mylan for generic drugs in Japan (Mylan-Japan). As a result, revenues and expenses associated with Meridian and Mylan-Japan are reported in our Upjohn business beginning in the first quarter of 2020. In 2019, revenues and expenses from Meridian and Mylan-Japan were recorded in our Biopharma business. We performed certain reclassifications between the Biopharma and Upjohn segments to conform 2019 segment revenues and expenses associated with Meridian and Mylan-Japan to the current presentation. There was no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
The majorityMost of our revenues come from the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products. As explained more fullyWith the formation of the Consumer Healthcare JV in our 2019 Form 10-K, the biopharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and highly regulated. As a result, we face a number of industry-specific factors and challenges, which can significantly impact our results. These factors include, among others: the loss or expiration of intellectual property rights and the expirationcompletion of co-promotionthe spin-off and licensing rights,combination of our Upjohn Business with Mylan in November 2020, Pfizer has transformed into a focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines and vaccines. We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the ability to replenish innovativediscovery, development, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products healthcare legislation, pipeline productivity, the regulatory environment, pricing and access pressures, product manufacturing and competition. We also face challenges as a result of the global economic environment. For additional information about these factors and challenges, see the “Our Operating Environment” and “The Global Economic Environment” sections of this MD&A and in our 2019 Financial Report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2019 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for our subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three and nine months ended August 23, 2020 and August 25, 2019. The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019.
References to operational variances in this MD&A pertain to period-over-period growth rates that exclude the impact of foreign exchange. The operational variances are determined by multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, our current period U.S. dollar results by the current period average foreign exchange rates and then multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year period average foreign exchange rates. Although exchange rate changes are part of our business, they are not within our control. Exchange rate changes, however, can mask positive or negative trends in the business; therefore, we believe presenting operational variances provides useful information to evaluate the results of our business.
Our Business Development Initiatives
We are committed to capitalizing on growth opportunities by advancing our own pipeline and maximizing the value of our in-line products, as well as through various forms of business development, which can include alliances, licenses, joint ventures, collaborations, equity- or debt-based investments, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions. We view our business development activity as an enabler of our strategies, and we seek to generate earnings growth and enhance shareholder value by pursuing a disciplined, strategic and financial approach to evaluating business development opportunities.
Our significant recent business development activities include:
•Agreement with CStone Pharmaceuticals (CStone)––On September 29, 2020, Pfizer entered into a strategic collaboration with CStone to address oncological needs in China. The collaboration encompasses a $200 million upfront equity investment by Pfizer in CStone, a collaboration between the companies for the development and commercialization of CStone’s sugemalimab (CS1001, PD-L1 antibody) in mainland China, and a framework between the companies to bring additional oncology assets to the Greater China market. The transaction closed on October 9, 2020 and as of the closing date, Pfizer held a 9.9% stake in CStone.
•Agreement with Valneva––On April 30, 2020, we signed an agreement to co-develop and commercialize Valneva’s Lyme disease vaccine candidate VLA15, which is currently in Phase 2 clinical studies. In June 2020, Valneva announced that the antitrust-related condition precedent was met and, consequently, the agreement became effective. VLA15 is the only active Lyme disease vaccine program in clinical development today, and covers six serotypes that are prevalent in North America and Europe. See Note 2C.
•Agreement with BioNTech––On April 9, 2020, we signed a global agreement with BioNTech to co-develop a potential first-in-class, mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine program, BNT162, aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. The collaboration aims to rapidly advance multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates into human clinical testing based on BioNTech’s proprietary mRNA vaccine platforms, with the objective of ensuring rapid worldwide access to the vaccine, if approved. The collaboration leverages our broad expertise in vaccine R&D, regulatory capabilities, and global manufacturing and distribution network. We and BioNTech are jointly conducting clinical trials for the COVID-19 vaccine candidates across multiple sites in the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa, Japan and Turkey. For additional information, including information regarding our COVID-19 vaccine development program, see the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––The Global Economic Environment”and “Product Developments—Biopharmaceutical” sections of this MD&A and Note 2C.
•Formation of a New Consumer Healthcare Joint Venture––On July 31, 2019, we completed the transaction in which we and GSK combined our respective consumer healthcare businesses into a new consumer healthcare joint venture that operates globally under the GSK Consumer Healthcare name. The joint venture develops and markets brands in the oral health, pain relief, respiratory, nutrition/gastro-intestinal and skin health categories and is one of the world’s leading over-the-counter healthcare companies. Our financial results, and our Consumer Healthcare segment’s operating results, for the third quarter of 2019 reflect one month of Consumer Healthcare segment domestic operations and two months of Consumer Healthcare segment international operations. Likewise, our financial results, and our Consumer Healthcare segment’s operating results, for the first nine months of 2019 reflect seven months of Consumer Healthcare segment domestic operations and eight months of Consumer Healthcare segment international operations. worldwide. The financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 do not reflect any contribution from the Consumer Healthcare business. See Note 2B.
•Agreement to Combine Upjohn with Mylan––On July 29, 2019, we announced an agreement to combine Upjohn with Mylan, creating a new global pharmaceutical company, Viatris. The transaction is structured as an all-stock, Reverse Morris Trust transaction, under which Upjohn will be spun off to our shareholders and, immediately thereafter, combined with Mylan. Pfizer shareholders would own 57% of the combined new company, and former Mylan shareholders would own 43%. The transaction is expected to be tax free to Pfizer and Pfizer shareholders. The transaction was approved by Mylan’s shareholders in June 2020. In June 2020, Upjohn Inc. and Upjohn Finance B.V. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Upjohn Inc.) completed privately placed debt offerings in connection with the transaction. See Note 7DBusiness and the “Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A. In October 2020, Pfizer and Mylan announced that the FTC accepted a proposed consent order, which concluded the FTC’s review of the proposed combination of Mylan and Pfizer’s Upjohn business, and that the parties have now obtained all required antitrust clearances for the proposed transaction. Also, in October 2020, Pfizer announced that it had set the close of business on November 13, 2020Mylan-Japan collaboration are reflected as the record date for the proposed spin-off and that the transaction is expecteddiscontinued operations. Prior-period information has been restated to close on November 16, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.reflect our current organization structure. We expect to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which approximately 40%75% has been incurred since inception and through the first nine monthssecond quarter of 2020. Such2021. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and anticipated transaction costs.
For additional information about our business, strategy and operating environment, see the Item 1. Business section and Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section within MD&A of our 2020 Form 10-K.
References to operational variances pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although foreign exchange rate changes are part of our business, they are not within our control and since they can mask positive or negative trends in the business, we believe presenting operational variances excluding these foreign exchange changes provides useful information to evaluate our results.
Our Business Development Initiatives
We are committed to strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities by advancing our own product pipeline and maximizing the value of our existing products, as well as through various business development activities.
Our significant recent business development activities include:
Collaboration with Arvinas, Inc. (Arvinas)––In July 2021, we announced a global collaboration with Arvinas to develop and commercialize ARV-471, an investigational oral PROTAC® (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) estrogen receptor protein degrader. The estrogen receptor is a well-known disease driver in most breast cancers. ARV-471 is currently in a Phase 2 dose expansion clinical trial for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, we made an upfront payment to Arvinas of $650 million in July 2021. Separately, we will make a $350 million equity investment in Arvinas, receiving approximately 3.5 million newly issued shares of Arvinas common stock, priced at a 30% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price on July 20, 2021, representing an equity ownership stake by Pfizer of approximately 7% as of July 20, 2021. Closing of the equity investment agreement is contingent on completion of review under antitrust laws, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the U.S., and other customary closing conditions. Arvinas is also eligible to receive up to $400 million in approval milestones and up to $1 billion in commercial milestones. The companies will equally share worldwide development costs, commercialization expenses and profits.
Acquisition of Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(Amplyx)––In April 2021, we announced that we acquired Amplyx, a privately-held company dedicated to the development of therapies for debilitating and life-threatening diseases that affect people with compromised immune systems. Amplyx’s lead compound, Fosmanogepix (APX001), is a novel investigational asset in Phase 2 development for the treatment of invasive fungal infections.

The following provides an analysisincrease of the decrease$3.6 billion in Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit)provision for taxes on incomein the second quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily attributable to higher revenues, lower Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, higher net gains on equity securities, higher net gains on asset disposals and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher Cost of sales, higher Research and development expenses, higher legal charges, higher Selling, informational and administrative expenses and lower income from collaborations.
The increase of $6.4 billion in Income from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income in the first six months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily attributable to higher revenues, highernet gains on equity securities, lower Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, higher net periodic benefit credits related to pension and postretirement plans, higher Consumer Healthcare JV equity method income, lower interest expense and higher net gains on asset disposals, partially offset by higher Cost of sales, higher Research and development expenses, higher Selling, informational and administrative expenses andhigher legal charges.

Our Operating Environment
Industry-Specific Challenges
We, like other businesses in our industry, are subject to certain industry-specific challenges. These include, among others, the topics listed below and in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Intellectual Property Rights and Collaboration/Licensing Rights
The loss, expiration or invalidation of intellectual property rights, patent litigation settlements with manufacturers and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights can have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Certain of our current products have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity in certain markets in the last few years, and we expect certain products to face significantly increased generic competition over the next few years. For example, Lyrica lost patent protection in the U.S. in June 2019 and multi-source generic competition began in July 2019. Also, the basic product patent for Chantix in the U.S. expired in November 2020. While multi-source generic competition for Chantix has not yet begun, it could commence at any time. Also, the basic product patent for Sutent in the U.S. will expire on November 10, 2020.August 15, 2021. While additional patent expiries will continue, we expect thea moderate impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries will be significant in 2020, then moderating downward to a much lower level from 2021 through 2025. Further, legal or regulatory action by various stakeholders or governments could potentially result in us not seeking intellectual property protection for or agreeing not to enforce or being restricted from enforcing intellectual property related to our products. For example, in May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court voted to invalidate Article 40 of Brazil’s Patent Law, which guaranteed a minimum 10-year patent term from patent grant, and to give retroactive effect to such decision. We continue to vigorously defend our patent rights against infringement, and we will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights while taking necessary steps to ensure appropriate patient access.
For additional information including theon patent rights we consider most significant in relation to our business as a whole, together with the year in which the basic product patent expires and recent and expected losses of product exclusivity, see the “PatentsItem 1. Business––Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights”Rights section in Part I, Item 1, “Business” of our 20192020 Form 10-K.
We will continue to aggressively defend our patent rights whenever we deem appropriate. For a discussion of certain recent developments with respect to patent litigation, see Note 13A1.
Regulatory Environment/Pricing and Access––U.S. Healthcare Legislation
In March 2010, the ACA was enacted in the U.S. For additional information, see the “Government Regulation and Price Constraints” section in Part I, Item 1, “Business”, of our 2019 Form 10-K.

The pricing of medicines and vaccines by pharmaceutical manufacturers and the cost of healthcare, which includes medicines, vaccines, medical services and hospital services, continues to be important to payers, governments, patients, and other stakeholders. Governments, MCOs and other payor groups continue to seek increasing discounts on our products through a variety of means and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. We believe that medicines are amongst the most powerful tools for patients in curing, treating and preventing illness and disability, and that all patients should have appropriate access to the medicines their doctors prescribe. We may consider a number of factors when determining a medicine’s price, including, for example, its impact on patients and their disease, other available treatments, the medicine’s potential to reduce other healthcare costs (such as hospital stays), and affordability. Within the U.S., in particular, we may also engage with patients, doctors and healthcare plans regarding their views. We also negotiate with insurers, including PBMs and MCOs, often providing significant discounts to them from the list price. The price that patients pay in the U.S. for the medicines their physicians prescribe is ultimately set by healthcare providers and insurers. On average, in the U.S., insurers impose a higher out-of-pocket burden on patients for prescription medicines than for comparably-priced medical services. Private third-party payers and federalFederal and state governments and private third-party payers in the U.S. continue to take action to manage the utilization of drugs and control the cost of drugs, including increasingly employing formularies to control costs by taking into account discounts in connection with decisions about formulary inclusion or favorable formulary placement. We consider a number of factors impacting the pricing of our medicines and vaccines. Within the U.S., we often engage with patients, doctors and healthcare plans. We also often provide significant discounts from the list price to insurers, including PBMs and MCOs. The price that patients pay in the U.S. for prescribed medicines and vaccines is ultimately set by healthcare providers and insurers.
formulary inclusion or favorable formulary placement. For example, in July and September 2020, President Trump signed four Executive Orders related to drug pricing, including orders addressing Medicare Part D rebate reform, the provision of deeply discounted insulin and/or an EpiPen to patients of Federally Qualified Health Centers, drug importation from Canada, and most favored nation pricing for Medicare Part B and Part D. Each of these Executive Orders will require rulemaking or satisfaction of other requirements before they can be implemented. We will continue to work with insurance providers, governments and others to improve access to today’s innovative treatments. Certain governments, including the different EU member states, the U.K., China, Japan, Canada, South Korea and some other international markets, provide healthcare at low-to-zero direct cost to consumers at the point of care and have significant power as large single payers to regulate pharmaceutical prices or patient reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored healthcare system, particularly under recent global financing pressures. Governments globally may use a variety of cost-containment measures for our pharmaceutical products,to control costs, including proposing pricing reform or legislation, cross country collaboration and procurement, price cuts, mandatory rebates, health technology assessments, forced localization as a condition of market access, “international reference pricing” (i.e., the practice of a country linking its regulated medicine prices to those of other countries), quality consistency evaluation processes and volume-based procurement.
In China, a centralized VBP program was initiatedthe U.S., we expect to see continued focus by Congress and the Biden Administration on regulating pricing resulting in 2018. Under this procurement model, a tender process has been established where a certain portion of included molecule volumes are guaranteedlegislative and regulatory efforts designed to tender winners. The program is intendedcontrol costs. We anticipate that these and similar initiatives will continue to contain healthcare costs by driving utilization of generics that have passed quality consistency evaluation, which has resulted in dramatic price cuts for off-patent medicines. Upjohn and most off-patent originators were not successful in the first bidding process under this pilot, which was finalized in December 2018 and implemented in March 2019, and most contracts went to local generic companies. This pilot program covered 25 molecules, including atorvastatin calcium tablets (Lipitor) and amlodipine besylate tablets (Norvasc). In April 2020, China implemented another round of expansion of the national VBP program, which covers 33 new molecules, including Biopharma’s Zithromax tablets and Diflucan capsules and no Upjohn products. Biopharma was not successful in the bidding process for this expansion. In June 2020, China announced the latest round of the expansion of the VBP program, which is being implemented in November 2020 and includes Biopharma’s Xeljanz and Zyvox tablets and Upjohn’s Viagra, Zoloft and Celebrex. Pfizer was successful for the bidding process for Zyvox tablets, which was Pfizer’s first win in the VBP bidding process. Pfizer did not win the bidding process for Xeljanz, Viagra, Zoloft and Celebrex.

Product Supply
Other Industry-Specific Challenges
Regulatory agenciesWe periodically inspect our drug manufacturing facilitiesencounter supply delays, including due to evaluate compliance with cGMP or other applicable requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may subject us to possible legal or regulatory actions, such as warning letters, suspension of manufacturing, seizure of product, injunctions, debarment,a voluntary recall of a product, delaysproduct. In July 2021, Pfizer issued a voluntary recall in the U.S. for 12 lots of Chantix due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer-established acceptable daily intake level. Nitrosamines are impurities which are common in water and foods and everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines. In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, have been evaluating the potential for the presence or denialsformation of product approvals, import bans or denials of import certifications, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In December 2019-January 2020, for example, the FDA conductednitrosamines in pharmaceutical products. We are currently undertaking an inspectionevaluation of our McPherson facility and issued an inspection report noting several findingsentire portfolio. For information on risks related to which Pfizer responded. Based on the outcome of this inspection, the FDA upgraded the inspection classification of the McPherson site to Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) from Official Action Indicated. VAI status will allow supplements, including those forproduct manufacturing, changes/improvements and new products, to proceed for approval following the normal FDA process for a site with an acceptable compliance status.

Pfizer’s Response to COVID-19
We are fully committed to confronting the public health challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic by collaborating with industry partners, global regulators and academic institutions to develop potential approaches to prevent and treat COVID-19. Our researchers and scientists alsoWe have been exploring potential new uses of existing medicines in our portfolio that may be able to help infected patients.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, we issued a five-point plan calling on the biopharmaceutical industry to join us in committing to unprecedented collaboration to combat COVID-19. Subsequently, we announcedmade some important advances, in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, including, among others:
•WeCOVID-19 Vaccine Development Program:
◦The FDA has authorized the distribution and The Pfizer Foundation announceduse of BNT162b2 in the commitment of $40 million in medical and charitable cash grantsU.S. to help combatprevent COVID-19 for individuals 12 years of age and older under an EUA. BNT162b2 has not been approved or licensed by the health effectsFDA. The EUA authorizes distribution and use of this product subject to the conditions set forth in the EUA, and only for the duration of the declaration by the Department of Health & Human Services that circumstances exist justifying authorization of emergency use of drugs and biological products (such as BNT162b2) during the COVID-19 pandemic inunder Section 564 of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Declaration), or until revocation of the EUA by the FDA. The FDA has issued EUAs to certain other companies for products intended for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and may continue to do so during the duration of the Declaration. The FDA expects EUA holders to work towards submission of a BLA as soon as possible. In May 2021, we and BioNTech completed the rolling submission of the BLA seeking full approval for BNT162b2 in individuals 16 years and older. In July 2021, the FDA granted Priority Review designation for this BLA. The PDUFA goal date for this BLA is set for January 2022, but the FDA may potentially act sooner. BNT162b2 has been granted a CMA, EUA or temporary authorization in many other countries around the world. A majorityWe continue to study vaccines to help prevent COVID-19, including evaluating pediatric and maternal indications for BNT162b2, assessing the short- and long-term efficacy of these grantsBNT162b2, studying vaccines to prevent COVID-19 caused by new and emerging variants and potentially developing booster doses or an updated vaccine as needed.
◦Based on current projections, we and BioNTech expect to manufacture in total up to 3 billion doses by the end of December 2021, subject to continuous process improvements, expansion at current facilities and adding new suppliers and contract manufacturers. The companies have entered into agreements to supply pre-specified doses of BNT162b2 with multiple developed and emerging nations around the world and are continuing to deliver doses of BNT162b2 to governments under such agreements. We also signed agreements with the U.S., the EU, Israel and Canada to supply BNT162b2 doses in 2022 and beyond and are currently negotiating similar potential agreements with multiple other countries.
◦As of July 28, 2021, based on the 2.1 billion doses that are expected to be delivered in 2021 under agreements that have been distributed. The Pfizer Foundation issigned through mid-July 2021, we forecasted approximately $33.5 billion in revenues in 2021 from BNT162b2, with
gross profit to be split evenly with BioNTech. This forecast may be adjusted in the future as additional agreements are signed and as circumstances warrant, and does not include the additional 200 million doses we announced on July 23, 2021 that we will deliver to the U.S. Government, of which 110 million doses are expected to be delivered from October to December 2021. We anticipate that a charitable organization established by Pfizer Inc. It issignificant amount of the remaining 2021 vaccine manufacturing capacity will be delivered to middle- and low-income countries where we price in line with income levels or at a separate legal entity from Pfizer Inc. with distinct legal restrictions.not-for-profit price.
•COVID-19 Protease Inhibitors:
◦In July 2021, we initiated a Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an investigational, novel oral antiviral therapeutic for COVID-19, PF-07321332, which is a SARS-CoV2-3CL protease inhibitor.
◦We confirmedalso have completed a lead compound and analogues in our portfolio are potent inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 3C-like protease, based on the results of initial screening assays. In addition, preliminary data suggest the leadPhase 1b clinical trial for an intravenously administered investigational protease inhibitor shows antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2,for COVID-19, PF-07304814. Following recent communications with the virus that causes COVID-19. In July 2020,FDA, we published the chemical structure of a 3C-like (3CL) protease inhibitor, PF-00835321, and its in vitro activity against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2. In September 2020, we announcedanticipate the initiation of a Phase 1b clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a novel investigational protease inhibitor for COVID-19, PF-07304814, which is a phosphate prodrug of PF-00835231.
•We entered into a global agreement (except for China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) with BioNTech to co-develop a potential first-in-class, mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine, BNT162, aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection. As part of this co-development program, which we refer to as Project Lightspeed, we and BioNTech announced in July 2020 the start of a global Phase 3 safety and efficacy clinical study to evaluate a single nucleoside-modified messenger RNA candidate. After extensive review of preclinical and clinical data from Phase 1/2 clinical trials, and in consultation with the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and other global regulators, we and BioNTech chose to advance the BNT162b2 vaccine candidate into the Phase 2/3 study at a 30μg dose level in a 2 dose regimen. BNT162b2, which received Fast Track designation from the FDA in July 2020, encodes an optimized SARS-CoV-2 full length spike glycoprotein, which is the target of virus neutralizing antibodies. We currently plan to enroll up to approximately 44,000 participantsPF-07304814 in the Phase 3 study. Enrollment in the trial has been proceeding as planned with current enrollment at more than 43,000 participants, with nearly 37,000 having received their second vaccination asthird quarter of November 2, 2020. We may receive a conclusive readout on efficacy from the Phase 3 trial in the near future. Assuming positive data and availability of the necessary safety and manufacturing data, we expect to be ready to seek Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. as early as late November 2020. Subject to clinical success, manufacturing capacity and regulatory approval or authorization, the companies currently aim to supply up to 1.3 billion doses globally by the end of 2021 and, to date, have entered into agreements with various governments to supply over 300 million doses of BNT162, to be delivered over the course of 2020 to 2021, with options for over 500 million additional doses. Additionally, the companies have begun tender negotiations with the European Commission (EC) for a proposed supply of 200 million doses of BNT162 to EU Member States, with an option for an additional 100 million doses. For additional information on our COVID-19 vaccine development program, see the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Business Development Initiatives” section of this MD&A, Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 2C.2021.
Despite our significant investments and efforts, any of our ongoing development programs for any potential treatment or vaccine forrelated to COVID-19 may not be successful as the risk of failure is significant, and there can be no certainty these efforts will yield a successful product or that these costs will ultimately be recouped. In addition, we may change the way we approach or provide additional research funding for potential drug and/or vaccine development related to COVID-19. We will continue to share information from our research that could benefit the global effort to respond to this unprecedented healthcare crisis.
Impact of COVID-19 on Pfizer’sOur Business and Operations
We are continuing to monitor the latest developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic onAs part of our business, operations,on-going monitoring and financial condition and results, andassessment, we have made certain assumptions regarding the pandemic for purposes of our operational planning and financial projections, including assumptions regarding the duration, and severity of the pandemic and the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic. For additional information, please also see our financial guidance set forth in the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategypandemic, as well as COVID-19 vaccine supply and Outlook––Our Financial Guidance for 2020” section of this MD&A.contracts, which remain dynamic. Despite careful tracking and planning, however, we are unable to accurately predict the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition and results due to the uncertainty of future developments. In particular, we believe the ultimate impact on our business, operations and financial condition and results will be affected by the
speed and extent of the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, the duration of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity and incidence of COVID-19, the safety, efficacy and availability of a vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic and governmental or regulatory actions to contain the virus or control supply of medicines. We are focused on all aspects of our business and are implementing measures aimed at mitigating issues where possible, including by using digital technology to assist in operations for our commercial, manufacturing, R&D and enabling functions globally.
•Our Colleagues. At this time,As discussed in our colleagues2020 Form 10-K, our business and operations were impacted in most locations who are able to perform their job functions outside2020 by the pandemic in various ways; those impacts have continued in 2021. For detail on the impact of our facilities continue to work remotely. Certain of our colleagues, primarily those in the Pfizer Global Supply and Worldwide Research and Development organizations continue to report to work and are subject to strict protocols intended to reduce the risk of transmission, including social distancing, maintaining contact logs, increased cleaning and use of personal protective equipment as necessary.
•Our Sales and Marketing.

•Our Manufacturing and Supply Chain.Our manufacturing and supply chain professionals have been working continuously in an effort to ensure continued patient access to our medicines and vaccines. To date, we have not seensee a significant disruption into our supply chain to date, and all of our manufacturing sites around the worldglobally have continued to operate at or near normal levels.
•Our Clinical Trials. After a brief pause to the recruitment portion of certain ongoing clinical studies and a delay to most new study starts, However, we restarted recruitment across the development portfolio (including new study starts)are seeing an increase in late-April 2020.
•Our Products. Our portfolio of products comprises medicines and vaccines which have and may experience varying impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our products, such as Eliquis and Ibrance, are medically necessary but also more reliant on maintenance therapy with continuing patients in addition to new patients. Certain other products, such as Vyndaqel/Vyndamax, Chantix/Champix and products used in certain elective surgeries, are more reliant on new patient starts and typically require doctor visits, including wellness visits. Other medicines have been identified as medically necessary for treatmentoverall demand in the pandemic, such asindustry for certain ofcomponents and raw materials potentially constraining available supply, which could have a future impact on our Hospital sterile injectable products. A large proportion of our portfolio comprises oral or self-injected medicines that do not require a visitbusiness. We are continuing to monitor and implement mitigation strategies in an infusion center or a physician’s office for administration, but vaccines and physician-administered medicines which do require office visits were impacted by COVID-19-related mobility restrictions or limitations during the first nine months of 2020. Specialty pharmacy channels, from which we derive a majority of our revenue, enable direct delivery of these specialty medicineseffort to patients.

Our Strategy
We believe that our medicines provide significant value for both healthcare providers and patients, not only from the improved treatment of diseases but also from a reduction in other healthcare costs, such as emergency room or hospitalization costs, as well as improvements in health, wellness and productivity. We continue to actively engage in dialogues about the value of our
medicines and how we can best work with patients, physicians and payers to prevent and treat disease and improve outcomes. We continue to work within the current legal and pricing structures, as well as continue to review our pricing arrangements and contracting methods with payers, to maximize patient access and minimize adverse impact on our revenues. We are firmly committed to fulfilling our Company’s purpose: Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. By doing so, we expect to create value for the patients we serve and for our colleagues and shareholders. For a more comprehensive discussion of our strategy including additional discussion of certain items, see the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Strategy”section of our 2019 Financial Report.
Organizing for Growth
We believe we have one of the strongest pipelines we have had in over a decade, and believe we are well positioned for future growth. While additional patent expiries will continue, we expect the impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries will be significant in 2020, then moderating downward to a much lower level from 2021 through 2025. This confluence of events has provided us an opportunity to look at and refine how we organize our business to best achieve sustainable growth and to deliver our medicines and vaccines to the maximum number of people who need them.
At the beginning of our fiscal year 2019, we began to manage our commercial operations through a new global structure consisting of three businesses, each led by a single manager—Biopharma, Upjohn and, through July 31, 2019, Pfizer’s Consumer Healthcare business. See Note 14A. We designed this new global structure to take advantage of new growth opportunities driven by the evolving and unique dynamics of relevant markets. As part of our Organizing for Growth initiative, we also reorganized our R&D operations, as explained in the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Strategy––Organizing for Growth” section of our 2019 Financial Report.
Subsequent to the re-alignment of our commercial operations in 2019, on July 29, 2019, we announced an agreement to combine Upjohn with Mylan, creating a new global pharmaceutical company, Viatris. See the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Business Development Initiatives” section in this MD&A. We believe the new company will transform and accelerate Upjohn’s and Mylan’s ability to serve patients’ needs and expand their capabilities across more than 165 markets. The combination will drive a sustainable, diverse and differentiated portfolio of prescription medicines, complex generics, over-the-counter products and biosimilars supported by commercial and regulatory expertise, established infrastructure, R&D capabilities and manufacturing and supply chain excellence.
As we prepare for expected growth, we are focused on creating a simpler, more efficient organization by streamlining structures, processes and governance within each business and the functions that support them. As our innovative pipeline matures based on anticipated progression of current trials and the initiation of new pivotal trials, including new trials for medicines we may acquire or in-license, we will need to increase our R&D investments. In addition, as our pipeline potentially delivers new commercialization opportunities, we will need to increase our investments in new-market-creation activities. We have initiated an enterprise-wide digital effort to accelerate drug development, enhance experiences (patient and physician) and access and leverage technology and robotics to simplify and automate our processes.
Transforming to a More Focused Company Program
With the formation of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture and the anticipated combination of Upjohn, our global, primarily off-patent branded and generics business, with Mylan, Pfizer is transforming into a more focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines. Accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2019, we began to identify and undertake efforts to ensure our cost base aligns appropriately with our Biopharmaceutical revenue base, which is expected to be 20% less (based on the midpoint of the range for 2020 New Pfizer revenue guidance, compared to 2019 Total Company reported revenue) as a result of both the completed GSK Consumer Healthcare and expected Upjohn transactions. While certain direct costs have transferred or will transfer to the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture and to the Upjohn entities, there are indirect costs which are not expected to transfer. In addition, we are taking steps to restructure our organizations to appropriately support and drive the purpose of the three core functions of our focused innovative medicines business: R&D, Manufacturing and Commercial. See the “Costs and Expenses––Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A.
Our Financial Guidance for 2020
On October 27, 2020, we updated and tightened ranges for certain components of Total Company 2020 financial guidance, including a slight increase to the midpoint of the Adjusted diluted EPS guidance range and reaffirmed all 2020 financial guidance components for New Pfizer and Upjohn.
Financial guidance reflects management’s current expectations for operational performance, foreign exchange rates as well as various COVID-19-related uncertainties, primarily those related to the severity, duration and global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic.
Key guidance assumptions regarding these uncertainties broadly reflect an ongoing, gradual global recovery from the macroeconomic and healthcare impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These assumptions are guided by the trajectory of the pandemic’s impact on Pfizer’s business to date, which was less severe at its peak than originally anticipated, but is recovering at a somewhat slower pace than originally expected. Current guidance continues to assume no revenue contributions from a potential COVID-19 vaccine.
2020 Financial Guidance for Total Company
| | | | | |
|
Pfizer’s updated 2020 financial guidance is presented below(a), (b):
|
Revenues | $48.8 to $49.5 billion |
| (previously $48.6 to $50.6 billion) |
Adjusted cost of sales as a percentage of revenues | 20.2% to 20.7% |
| (previously 19.5% to 20.5%) |
Adjusted selling, informational and administrative expenses | $11.5 to $12.0 billion |
| (previously $11.5 to $12.5 billion) |
Adjusted research and development expenses | $8.8 to $9.1 billion |
| (previously $8.6 to $9.0 billion) |
Adjusted other (income)/deductions | Approximately $1.0 billion of income |
| |
| (previously approximately $800 million of income) |
Effective tax rate on adjusted income | Approximately 15.0% |
| |
|
Adjusted diluted EPS | $2.88 to $2.93 |
| (previously $2.85 to $2.95) |
| |
| |
| |
(a)The 2020 financial guidance reflects the following:
•Financial guidance for Total Company reflects a full-year 2020 contribution from Biopharma and Upjohn, the current construct of the company, and excludes any impact from the pending Upjohn combination with Mylan.
���Does not assume the completion of any business development transactions not completed as of September 27, 2020, including any one-time upfront payments associated with such transactions.
•Includes Pfizer’s pro rata share of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture anticipated earnings, which is recorded in Adjusted other (income)/deductions on a one-quarter lag. Therefore, 2020 financial guidance for Adjusted other (income)/deductions and Adjusted diluted EPS reflects Pfizer’s share of the joint venture’s earnings that were generated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first and second quarters of 2020 (recorded by Pfizer in the first nine months of 2020) as well as Pfizer’s share of the joint venture’s projected earnings during the third quarter of 2020 (to be recorded by Pfizer in the fourth quarter of 2020).
•Reflects an anticipated negative revenue impact of $2.4 billion due to recent and expected generic and biosimilar competition for certain products that have recently lost or are anticipated to soon lose patent protection.
•Exchange rates assumed are a blend of actual exchange rates in effect through third-quarter 2020 and mid-October 2020 rates for the remainder of the year. Financial guidance reflects the anticipated unfavorable impact of approximately $0.5 billion on revenues and approximately $0.04 on Adjusted diluted EPS as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar compared to foreign exchange rates from 2019.
•Guidance for adjusted diluted EPS assumes diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 5.6 billion shares, which assumes no share repurchases in 2020.
(b)For an understanding of Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures), see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)” section of this MD&A.
Beginning in 2020, Upjohn began managing Pfizer’s Meridian subsidiary, the manufacturer of EpiPen and other auto-injector products, and a pre-existing strategic collaboration between Pfizer and Mylan for generic drugs in Japan (Mylan-Japan). As a result, revenues and expenses associated with Meridian and Mylan-Japan are reported in Pfizer’s Upjohn business beginning in the first quarter of 2020.
Pfizer, Upjohn and Mylan agreed (simultaneous with their entry into the transaction agreements governing the proposed combination of Upjohn and Mylan) to review and negotiate in good faith a potential transfer of Pfizer’s Meridian Medical Technologies business (the Meridian Business) to Upjohn, such that it would be sold to Mylan in the pending transaction for the Upjohn business. The Meridian Business supplies EpiPen Auto-Injectors to Mylan under a supply agreement expiring December 31, 2020 (the EpiPen Supply Agreement). Instead of entering into an agreement to transfer the Meridian Business to Mylan, the parties have agreed to extend the EpiPen Supply Agreement for an additional four-year period through December 31, 2024, with an option for Mylan to further extend the term for an additional one-year period thereafter.
Pfizer and Mylan have also reached a preliminary agreement on the general terms under which Pfizer would transfer certain Pfizer assets that currently form part of the Mylan-Japan collaboration to Mylan or, following the proposed combination of Upjohn and Mylan, to Viatris. Any such proposed transaction would be subject to the finalization and execution of a definitive agreement that would contain customary closing conditions, including but not limited to, receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that any agreement or transaction will result from these negotiations, and if the parties are unsuccessful in their efforts to negotiate the terms of such potential transactions, the Pfizer assets that currently form part of the Mylan-Japan collaboration will remain with Pfizer.
2020 Financial Guidance for New Pfizer
| | | | | |
2020 reaffirmed financial guidance for New Pfizer is presented below(a), (b):
|
Revenues | $40.8 to $42.4 billion |
| |
Adjusted IBT Margin(c)
| Approximately 37.0% |
Adjusted Diluted EPS | $2.28 to $2.38 |
| |
Operating Cash Flow(d)
| $10.0 to $11.0 billion |
| |
(a)The financial guidance for New Pfizer reflects a full-year 2020 view of the company assuming the pending Upjohn combination with Mylan was completed at the beginning of 2020 and reflects contributions from the Biopharma business as it is presently being managed, which excludes contributions from Pfizer’s Meridian subsidiary and the Pfizer-Mylan strategic collaboration in Japan (Mylan-Japan). Pfizer’s Meridian subsidiary and Mylan-Japan were managed by Pfizer’s Biopharma business in 2019, but were moved to Upjohn in 2020. Financial guidance for New Pfizer also includes the full-year effect of the following items that assume the pending Upjohn combination with Mylan was completed at the beginning of 2020: (i) $12 billion of net proceeds from Upjohn to be retained by Pfizer, which Pfizer will use to repay its own existing indebtedness; and (ii) other transaction-related items, such as income from transition services agreements between Pfizer and Viatris. In addition, 2020 financial guidance for New Pfizer Adjusted IBT Margin and Adjusted diluted EPS reflects Pfizer’s share of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture’s earnings that were generated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and in the first and second quarters of 2020 (recorded by Pfizer in the first nine months of 2020), as well as Pfizer’s share of the joint venture’s projected earnings during the third quarter of 2020 (to be recorded by Pfizer in the fourth quarter of 2020).
(b)For additional information regarding an understanding of Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures), see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)” section of this MD&A.
(c)Adjusted income before tax margin (Adjusted IBT margin) is defined as revenue less the sum of Adjusted cost of sales, Adjusted SI&A expenses, Adjusted R&D expenses, Adjusted amortization of intangible assets and Adjusted other (income)/deductions as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted IBT margin is presented because management believes this performance measure supplements investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of the financial performance of New Pfizer. Adjusted IBT margin is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP income before tax margin.
(d)Includes a $1.25 billion voluntary contribution made to the U.S. qualified pension plans in September 2020.
2020 Financial Guidance for Upjohn
| | | | | |
2020 reaffirmed financial guidance for Upjohn is presented below(a):
|
Revenues | $8.0 to $8.5 billion |
| |
Adjusted EBITDA(b)
| $3.8 to $4.2 billion |
(a)Financial guidance for Upjohn reflects a full-year 2020 contribution from the Upjohn business as it is presently being managed, which includes contributions from Pfizer’s Meridian subsidiary and the Pfizer-Mylan strategic collaboration in Japan (Mylan-Japan). Pfizer’s Meridian subsidiary and Mylan-Japan were managed by Pfizer’s Biopharma business in 2019 but were moved to Upjohn in 2020.
(b)Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) is defined as reported U.S. GAAP net income, and its components, adjusted for interest expense, provision for taxes on income and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items (some of which may recur, such as gains on the completion of joint venture transactions, restructuring charges, legal charges or gains and losses from equity securities, but which management does not believe are reflective of ongoing core operations). Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes this performance measure supplements investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Upjohn. Adjusted EBITDA as defined is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP.
Pfizer does not provide guidance for GAAP Reported financial measures (other than revenues) or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP Reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from equity securities and potential future asset impairments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP Reported results for the guidance period.

| Operational growth/(decline): | | | | | | |
Continued growth from certain key brands(a) | | $ | 235 | | | $ | 118 | | | $ | 118 | |
| Higher revenues for Biosimilars, primarily driven by recent oncology biosimilar launches in the U.S. and other global markets and continued growth from Retacrit, primarily in the U.S. | | 188 | | | 137 | | | 51 | |
| Higher revenues for the rare disease business driven by the U.S. launches of Vyndaqel in May 2019 and Vyndamax in September 2019 for ATTR-CM; and in international markets, primarily driven by the March 2019 launch of the ATTR-CM indication in Japan and the February 2020 approval of the ATTR-CM indication in the EU | | 154 | | | 78 | | | 76 | |
| Higher revenues for Inlyta, primarily due to increased demand in the U.S. and certain developed international markets, following the approvals in 2019 for combinations of certain immune checkpoint inhibitors plus Inlyta for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC | | 57 | | | 32 | | | 26 | |
| Lower revenues for Consumer Healthcare reflecting the July 31, 2019 completion of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction. As a result, for the third quarter of 2019, revenues reflect one month of Consumer Healthcare segment domestic operations and two months of Consumer Healthcare segment international operations, while for the third quarter of 2020, there is no contribution from the Consumer Healthcare business | | (377) | | | (124) | | | (253) | |
| Lower worldwide revenues for Lyrica, primarily in the U.S., reflecting the expected significantly lower volumes associated with multi-source generic competition that began in July 2019 | | (174) | | | (157) | | | (18) | |
| Declines in revenues for Lipitor and Norvasc, reflecting significant revenue declines associated with the VBP program in China, which was initially implemented in certain cities in March 2019, and expanded nationwide beginning in December 2019, resulting in significant volume and price erosion | | (150) | | | (8) | | | (143) | |
| Decreased revenue for the Hospital business, primarily in emerging markets and driven by lower demand for certain anti-infective products in China due to lower infection rates driven by fewer elective surgical procedures, shorter in-patient hospital stays and improved infection control | | (90) | | | 20 | | | (109) | |
| Lower revenues for Enbrel internationally, primarily reflecting continued biosimilar competition in most developed Europe markets, as well as in Japan and Brazil, all of which is expected to continue | | (87) | | | — | | | (87) | |
| Decline in Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 revenues primarily in the U.S., reflecting the unfavorable impact of timing associated with government purchases for the pediatric indication and the impact of the revised adult recommendation from the ACIP, partially offset by the recovery of a portion of the missed doses from the second quarter of 2020, resulting from COVID-19-related mobility restrictions or limitations. The decline in the U.S. was partially offset by continued strong pediatric uptake in China as well as increased adult uptake in certain international markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses, including specifically pneumococcal disease, due to the COVID-19 pandemic | | (55) | | | (140) | | | 85 | |
| Decline in revenues for Celebrex driven by lower volume in Japan, resulting from generic competition which began in June 2020 | | (45) | | | (2) | | | (43) | |

(a)Certain key brands represent Ibrance, Eliquis and Xeljanz. See the “Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income––Revenues––Selected Product Discussion” section of this MD&A for product analysis information.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 included an estimated net unfavorable impact of approximately $500 million, or 4%, due to COVID-19, primarily driven by lower demand for certain products in China and unfavorable disruptions to wellness visits for patients in the U.S., which negatively impacted prescribing patterns for certain products, partially offset by increased adult uptake for Prevenar 13 in certain international markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses, as well as the recovery of a portion of the missed doses of Prevnar 13 in the U.S. from second-quarter 2020. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Growth from BNT162b2, Vyndaqel/Vyndamax, Eliquis, Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13, Inlyta, Xtandi, Ibrance, Biosimilars and the Hospital therapeutic area, partially offset by decline from Xeljanz. See the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income––Revenues––Selected Product Discussion within MD&A for additional analysis | | $ | 8,613 | | | $ | 2,515 | | | $ | 6,098 | |
| Lower revenues for Enbrel and Chantix/Champix. The decrease for Enbrel internationally primarily reflects continued biosimilar competition in most developed Europe markets and Japan, which is expected to continue. The decrease in Chantix/Champix was driven by the U.S. and primarily reflects a negative impact on available supply related to the voluntary recall of certain lots of product following the discovery of the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer-established acceptable daily intake level and a hold on distribution of new product pending additional testing, as well as the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a decline in patient visits to doctors for preventative health purposes and the loss of patent protection in the U.S. in November 2020 | | (119) | | | (41) | | | (77) | |

The operational decreaseincrease in emerging markets was primarily driven by Lipitorrevenues from BNT162b2 and Norvasc in our Upjohn segment, lower revenues for GSK Consumer Healthcare reflecting the July 31, 2019 completion of the Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction and certain products in the Hospital business, primarily Zithromax and Vfend in our Biopharma segment, partially offset primarily by growth from Eliquis, Ibrance and Prevenar 13 in our Biopharma segment.Eliquis.

| Higher revenues for the Hospital business in the U.S., primarily driven by increased demand for certain sterile injectable products utilized in the intubation and ongoing treatment of mechanically-ventilated COVID-19 patients as well as continued growth from Panzyga following its November 2018 U.S. launch, partially offset by lower demand for certain anti-infective products in China due to lower infection rates driven by fewer elective surgical procedures, shorter in-patient hospital stays and improved infection control | | 123 | | | 227 | | | (104) | |

Revenue Deductions
Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration represents chargebacks, rebates, sales allowances and sales returns. These deductions represent estimates of related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, our adjustments ofto these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business. On a quarterly basis, our adjustments of estimates to reflect actual resultsbusiness and generally have been less than 1% of revenues, and have resulted in either a net increase or a net decrease in revenues. Product-specific rebates, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product revenue growth trends.

Total revenue deductions for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2019, and total revenue deductions for the first nine months of 2020 decreased 10%, compared to the first nine months of 2019, primarily as a result of:
•a decrease in Medicaid and Medicare rebates, driven by a significant decrease in Lyrica sales in the U.S. due to multi-source generic competition that began in July 2019,
partially offset by:
•an increase in chargebacks as a result of higher revenue for certain Biopharma products.
Total revenue deductions in the first nine months of 2020 also decreased as a result of lower sales returns and cash discounts, primarily due to the non-recurrence of a sales return reserve recorded for Lyrica in the prior year in advance of anticipated multi-source generic competition that began in the U.S. in July 2019.rebates.

The decline in the third quartersection of our 2020 in the U.S. primarily reflects the unfavorable impact of timing associated with government purchases for the pediatric indication and the impact of the revised adult recommendation from the ACIP, further discussed below, partially offset by the recovery of a portion of the missed doses, resulting from COVID-19-related mobility restrictions or limitations, from the second quarter of 2020. The decline in the U.S. in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of timing associated with government purchases for the pediatric indication, the expected unfavorable impact of disruptions to wellness visits for pediatric and adult patients due to COVID-19-related mobility restrictions or limitations and the impact of the revised adult recommendation from the ACIP.
The operational growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 internationally primarily reflects increased adult uptake in certain international markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses, including specifically pneumococcal disease, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as continued strong pediatric uptake in China.
On June 26, 2019, the ACIP voted to revise the pneumococcal vaccination guidelines and recommend Prevnar 13 for adults 65 and older based on the shared clinical decision making of the provider and patient, which means the decision to vaccinate should be made at the individual level between health care providers and their patients, maintaining reimbursement. The recommendation reaffirms that there remains vaccine preventable pneumococcal disease in the population of adults 65 years or older, which may be prevented through direct vaccination. The ACIP’s recommendation was approved by the directors at the CDC and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and published by the CDC in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report in the fourth quarter of 2019. The ACIP’s latest recommendation did not have an impact on Prevnar 13 revenues in 2019, due to timing of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report publication. The ACIP’s latest recommendation had a slight unfavorable impact in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 and is expected to modestly impact future periods.

The growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 in the U.S. was mainly driven by increased cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) class penetration and Ibrance’s continued CDK market share leadership in metastatic breast cancer. The operational growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 internationally reflects the continued strong volume growth in most markets, partially offset by pricing pressures in certain developed Europe markets.
•Eliquis alliance revenues and direct sales (Biopharma): Eliquis has been jointly developed and is commercialized by Pfizer and BMS. Pfizer funds between 50% and 60% of all development costs depending on the study. Profits and losses are shared equally on a global basis, except in certain countries where Pfizer commercializes Eliquis and pays BMS compensation based on a percentage of net sales. We have full commercialization rights in certain smaller markets. BMS supplies the product to us at cost plus a percentage of the net sales to end-customers in these markets. Eliquis is part of the Novel Oral Anticoagulant market; the agents in this class were developed as alternative treatment options to warfarin in appropriate patients.

U.S. revenue growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was the result of higher volumes within the RA and PsA indications driven by continued improvements in formulary access, partially offset by increased discounts from recently-signed contracts which were entered into in order to unlock access to additional patient lives. The revenue growth in the U.S. in the first nine months of 2020 was also due to higher volumes in the UC indication driven by continued improvements in formulary access.
The operational growth internationally in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was mainly driven by continued uptake in the RA indication and, to a lesser extent, from the recent launch of the UC indication in certain developed markets.

While Inflectra has achieved parity access to Remicade® (infliximab) in Medicare Part B, in the U.S., nearly half of all commercial patients are not able to access Inflectra due to exclusionary conduct by J&J. In September 2017, Pfizer filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against J&J alleging that J&J’s exclusionary contracts and other anticompetitive practices concerning Remicade violate federal antitrust laws. In June 2019, Pfizer received a Civil Investigative Demand from the FTC seeking documents and information relating to the alleged conduct and market conditions at issue in Pfizer’s lawsuit against J&J. Pfizer understands that the FTC’s investigation is focused on J&J’s alleged conduct at issue in Pfizer’s lawsuit against J&J.

In October 2020, we announced that we have stopped the Daurismo (glasdegib) Intensive cohort of the Phase 3 BRIGHT AML 1019 trial evaluating Daurismo in combination with cytarabine and daunorubicin in adults with previously untreated AML. The results of an interim analysis reviewed by an independent Data Monitoring Committee showed the trial was unlikely to achieve statistical significance in the primary endpoint of overall survival. No new safety signals were observed.
In October 2020, we and the German Breast Group announced that the collaborative Ibrance (palbociclib) Phase 3 PENELOPE-B trial did not meet the primary endpoint of improved invasive disease-free survival in women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer who have residual invasive disease after completing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. No unexpected safety signals were observed.

Cost of sales decreased $73 millionincreased $5.2 billion in the thirdsecond quarter and $7.5 billion in the first six months of 2020,2021, primarily due to:
•the non-recurrenceimpact of BNT162b2, which includes a charge for rivipansel in 2019, primarily for inventory manufactured for expected future sale;the 50% gross profit split with BioNTech and royalty expenses;
•the favorable impact of the July 31, 2019 completion of the Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction with GSK,
partially offset by:
•the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and hedging activity on intercompany inventory; and
•the unfavorable impactincreased sales volumes of incremental costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Transforming to a More Focused Company Program
For a description of our Transforming to a More Focused Company program, andas well as the anticipated and actual costs, see Note 33. .The program savings discussed below may be rounded and represent approximations. In connection with the costs primarily related to the corporate enabling functions initiatives, we expect gross cost savings of approximately $900$1.0 billion, or net cost savings, excluding merit and inflation growth and certain real estate cost increases, of $700 million, to be achieved primarily over the two-year period 2021-2022.from 2021 through 2022. In connection with manufacturing network optimization, including legacy cost reduction initiatives, we expect targeted net cost savings of approximately $300 million to be achieved primarily from 2020 through 2022.
Certain qualifying costs associated withfor this program were recorded in the fourth quarterfirst two quarters of 20192021 and in the first three quarters of 2020 and are reflected as Certain Significant Items and excluded from our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income. See the “Non-GAAPNon-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)”Measure: Adjusted Income section of this MD&A.
In addition to this major program, we continuously monitor our operations for cost reduction and/or productivity opportunities, especially in light of the losses of exclusivity and the expiration of collaborative arrangements for various products.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)For information about our discontinued operations, see Note 2A.
General Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE: ADJUSTED INCOME
Adjusted income is an alternative viewmeasure of performance used by management. We measure themanagement to evaluate our overall performance of the overall Company on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. Because Adjusted income is an important internal measurement for Pfizer,measures. As such, we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We reportuse Adjusted income, certain components of Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share in orderEPS to portraypresent the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and saledistribution of prescription medicines and vaccines–biopharmaceutical products worldwide––prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined Adjusted incomeelements as Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items, which are described below. Also, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)––General Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)” section of our 2019 Financial Report for additional information. Similarly, we have defined the Adjusted income components as Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses, Research and development expenses, Amortization of intangible assets and Other (income)/deductions––net each before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items. We have defined Adjusted diluted earnings per share as Earnings per common share attributable to Pfizer Inc.––dilutedbefore the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items. The Adjusted income measure, the Adjusted income component measures and the Adjusted diluted earnings per share measure are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income, U.S. GAAP net income components or U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share.follows:
The following are examples of how the Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share measures are utilized: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Measure | | Definition | | Illustrative Use |
| Adjusted income | | Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders(a) before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items | | •Monthly managerial analysis of our operating results and our annual budgets are prepared using these non-GAAP measures •Senior management’s compensation is determined, in part, using these non-GAAP measures(b) |

| Adjusted diluted EPS | | EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders––diluted(a) before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items | |
•(a)senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share basis;Most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•(b)our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share basis; and
•senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share measures.
Effective in 2020, the bonusThe short-term incentive plans for substantially all non-sales-force employees worldwide are funded from a pool based on our performance, measured in significant part by three metrics, one of which is Adjusted diluted earnings per share,EPS, which is derived from Adjusted income and accounts for 40% of the bonus pool funding. Additionally, the payout for some Performance Share Awards is determined in part by Adjusted net income, which is derived from Adjusted income. Starting with the 2020 performance year and consistent with shareholder feedback received in 2019, the Compensation Committee of the BOD approved adding an R&D pipeline achievement factor to the existing short-term incentive financial metrics.
Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted earnings per shareEPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, Adjusted income and its components (unlike U.S. GAAP net income and its components) and Adjusted diluted earnings per share (unlike U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share)they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted incomecompanies and its components and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.
We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, the Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted earnings per share measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these metrics. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of purchased intangibles, and they do not provide a comparable view of our performance relative to other companies inpeers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively. See the biopharmaceutical industry.accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information for the second quarters and first six months of 2021 and 2020 below.
We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other specifically tailored tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon
which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly-tradedpublicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of Pfizer’s long-termour incentive compensation plans.
See the accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 and 2019.
Purchase Accounting Adjustments
Adjusted income is calculated prior to consideringexcludes certain significant purchase accounting impacts resulting from business combinations and net asset acquisitions. These impacts primarily associated with Wyeth (acquired in 2009), Hospira (acquired in 2015), Anacor (acquired in 2016), Medivation (acquired in 2016) and Array (acquired in 2019), can include the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, amortization related to the increase in fair value of the acquired finite-lived intangible assets, and to a much lesser extent, depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of the acquired fixed assets, (primarily manufacturing facilities), amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes associated withfor contingent consideration. Therefore, the Adjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the acquisition cost of those products.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Adjusted income is calculated prior to consideringexcludes acquisition-related items, which are comprised of transaction, integration, restructuring charges and additional depreciation costs associated withfor business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs
that were incurred to restructure and integrate two businesses as a result of the acquisition decision. For additional clarity, only transaction costs, additional depreciation and restructuring and integration activities that are associated with a business combination or a net-asset acquisition are included in acquisition-related costs.an acquisition. We have made no adjustments for the resulting synergies.
Discontinued Operations
Adjusted income is calculated prior to consideringexcludes the results of operations included in discontinued operations, as well as any related gains or losses on the disposal of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our therapeutic areas and product lines for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our business with the intent to discontinue parts of our business. Restatements due to discontinued operations do not impact compensation or change the Adjusted income measure for the compensation in respect of the restated periods, but are presented for consistency across all periods.
Certain Significant Items
Adjusted income is calculated prior to consideringexcludes certain significant items. Certain significant items representrepresenting substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated individually on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both thea quantitative and the qualitative aspects of their nature.basis. Certain significant items may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Furthermore, in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods. For example, although major non-acquisition-related cost-reduction programs stand on their own as they are specific to an event or goal with a defined term, but we may have subsequent programs based on reorganizations of the business, cost productivity or in response to loss of exclusivityLOE or economic conditions. Legal charges to resolve litigation are also related to specific cases, which are facts and circumstances specific and, in some cases, may also be the result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were inestimable, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition. Unusual items may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. While not all-inclusive, examplesFor a non-inclusive list of items that could be included as certain significant items would be: (i) gains on the completionsee Details of joint venture transactions such as the gain on the completion of the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction; (ii)Income Statement Items Included in GAAP Reported but Excluded from Non-GAAP Adjusted Income below.
Beginning in 2021, we exclude pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses from equity securitiesour measure of Adjusted income because of their inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty and because we do not believe that including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business; (iii) a major non-acquisition-related restructuring charge and associated implementation costs; (iv) amounts related to certain disposals of businesses, products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP; (v) certain intangible asset impairments; (vi) adjustments related tobusiness.

(i)WRDM—the R&D and Medical expenses managed by our WRDM organization, which is generally responsible for research projects for our Biopharma portfolio until proof-of-concept is achieved and then for transitioning those projects to the GPD organization for possible clinical and commercial development. R&D spending may include upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights. The WRDM organization also has responsibility for certain science-based and other platform-services organizations, which provide end-to-end technical expertise and other services to the various R&D projects, as well as the Worldwide Medical and Safety group, which ensures that Pfizer provides all stakeholders––including patients, healthcare providers, pharmacists, payers and health authorities––with complete and up-to-date information on the risks and benefits associated with Pfizer products so that they can make appropriate decisions on how and when to use Pfizer’s medicines.
(ii)GPD––the costs associated with our GPD organization, which is generally responsible for clinical trials from WRDM in the Biopharma portfolio, including late stage portfolio spend. GPD also provides technical support and other services to Pfizer R&D projects. GPD is responsible for facilitating all regulatory submissions and interactions with regulatory agencies.
(iii)Other—the operating results of our Consumer Healthcare business, through July 31, 2019, and costs associated with other commercial activities not managed as part of Biopharma or Upjohn, including all strategy, business development, portfolio management and valuation capabilities, which previously had been reported in various parts of the organization.
(iv)Corporate and Other Unallocated––the costs associated with corporate enabling functions (such as digital, global real estate operations, legal, finance, human resources, worldwide public affairs, compliance and worldwide procurement), patient advocacy activities and certain compensation and other corporate costs, such as interest income and expense, and gains and losses on investments, as well as overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing (which include manufacturing variances associated with production) and commercial operations that are not directly assessed to an operating segment, as business unit (segment) management does not manage these costs. Corporate and Other Unallocated also includes our share of earnings from the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture and other charges related to the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture, primarily representing our pro-rata share of restructuring and business combination accounting charges recorded by the GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture.
We recognized the following amounts in Cost of sales related to forward-exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of our foreign exchange-denominated forecasted intercompany inventory sales (see Note 7E):
•a $34 million net gain in the third quarter of 2020;
•a $184 million net gain in the first nine months of 2020;
•a $66 million net gain in the third quarter of 2019; and
•a $169 million net gain in the first nine months of 2019.
(c)See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)” section of this MD&A for a definition of these “Adjusted Income” components.
(d)Includes costs associated with (i) purchase accounting adjustments; (ii) acquisition-related costs; and (iii) certain significant items, which are substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as gains on the completion of joint venture transactions, restructuring charges, legal charges or gains and losses from equity securities), that are evaluated on an individual basis by management. For additional information about these reconciling items and/or our Non-GAAP adjusted measure of performance, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income)” section of this MD&A.
Third Quarter of 2020 vs. Third Quarter of 2019
Biopharma Operating Segment
Revenues
Biopharma Revenues increased $263 million, or 3%, to $10.2 billion in the third quarter of 2020 from $10.0 billion in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting an operational increase of $349 million, or 4%, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $86 million, or 1%.
The following provides an analysis of the increase in Biopharma worldwide Revenues:
| | | | | | | | |
(MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) | | |
Biopharma Revenues, for the three months ended September 29, 2019
| | $ | 9,952 | |
| | |
Operational growth/(decline): | | |
Continued growth from certain key brands(a)
| | 235 | |
Higher revenues for Biosimilars, primarily driven by recent oncology biosimilar launches in the U.S. and other global markets and continued growth from Retacrit, primarily in the U.S. | | 188 | |
Higher revenues for the rare disease business driven by the U.S. launches of Vyndaqel in May 2019 and Vyndamax in September 2019 for ATTR-CM; and in international markets, primarily driven by the March 2019 launch of the ATTR-CM indication in Japan and the February 2020 approval of the ATTR-CM indication in the EU | | 154 | |
Higher revenues for Inlyta, primarily due to increased demand in the U.S. and certain developed international markets, following the approvals in 2019 for combinations of certain immune checkpoint inhibitors plus Inlyta for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC | | 57 | |
Decreased revenue for the Hospital business, primarily in emerging markets and driven by lower demand for certain anti-infective products in China due to lower infection rates driven by fewer elective surgical procedures, shorter in-patient hospital stays and improved infection control | | (90) | |
Lower revenues for Enbrel internationally, primarily reflecting continued biosimilar competition in most developed Europe markets, as well as in Japan and Brazil, all of which is expected to continue | | (87) | |
Decline in Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 revenues primarily in the U.S., reflecting the unfavorable impact of timing associated with government purchases for the pediatric indication and the impact of the revised adult recommendation from the ACIP, partially offset by the recovery of a portion of the missed doses from the second quarter of 2020, resulting from COVID-19-related mobility restrictions or limitations. The decline in the U.S. was partially offset by continued strong pediatric uptake in China as well as increased adult uptake in certain international markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses, including specifically pneumococcal disease, due to the COVID-19 pandemic | | (55) | |

Biopharma Revenues increase
| | 263 | |
Biopharma Revenues, for the three months ended September 27, 2020
| | $ | 10,215 | |
(a)Certain key brands represent Ibrance, Eliquis and Xeljanz. See the “Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income––Revenues––Selected Product Discussion” section of this MD&A for product analysis information.
Total Biopharma revenues from emerging markets decreased $98 million, or 5%, to $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2020 from $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting operational growth of $25 million, or 1%. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact of 6% on total Biopharma revenues from emerging markets. The operational increase in emerging markets was primarily driven by Eliquis, Ibrance and Prevenar 13, partially offset by certain products in the Hospital business, primarily Zithromax and Vfend.
Costs and Expenses

89Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
Operating Activities
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is driven by an increase in benefit plan contributionsCash flows from discontinued operations primarily relate to our former Upjohn Business and the lower contributionMylan-Japan collaboration (see Note 2A). In 2020, investing and financing activities from the Consumer Healthcare business as a result of the July 31, 2019 completion of the Consumer Healthcare joint venture transaction with GSK, partially offset by the upfront cash payment associated with our acquisition of Therachon in the third quarter of 2019.
The change in Other adjustments, netdiscontinued operations primarily reflects an increase in equity method dividends received and the Upjohn Euro bond remeasurement, partially offset by increases in net unrealized gains on equity securities, an increase in equity income, and an increase in accreted interest on debt discount.
In the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the line item Other changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures is presented excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as these changes do not reflect actual cash inflows or outflows, and excluding any other significant non-cash movements. Accordingly, the amounts shown will not necessarily agree with the changes in the assets and liabilities that are presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures reflects changes in the normal course of business, primarily in trade accounts payable, other current and noncurrent assets, and other current and noncurrent liabilities. This line item also reflects the non-recurrence of a non-cash favorable settlement of an IRS audit for multiple tax years in 2019.
Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was mostly attributable to:
•a $19.0 billion increase in net purchases of short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less, largely due to the $11.4 billion of proceeds from the Upjohn long-term debt issuances in the second quarter of 2020, which were invested in money market funds (see Note 7D and Note 7A); and
•a $4.7 billion increase in purchases of short-term investments with original maturities of greater than three months,
partially offset by:
•the cash used to acquire Array, net of cash acquired, of $10.9 billion in the third quarter of 2019.
Financing Activities
The change in net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities was primarily attributable to:
•an increase inproceeds from issuances of long-term debt of $11.8 billion (see Note 7D);
•a decrease in purchases of common stock of $8.9 billion; and
•lower repayments on long-term debt of $3.3 billion,
partially offset by:
•the $3.5 billion net payments on short-term borrowings in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $10.1 billion net proceeds raised from short-term borrowings in the first nine months of 2019..
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MARKET RISK
We rely largely on operating cash flows, short-term investments short-termor commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide for our liquidity requirements. We continue our effortsstrive to improve cash inflows through working capital efficiencies. We target specific areas of focus including accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and other working capital, which allows us to optimize our operating cash flows. Due to our significant operating cash flows as well as our financial assets, access to capital markets and available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements, we believe that we have, and will maintain, the ability to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, which can include, among others:
•the working capital requirements of our operations, including our R&D activities;
•investments in our business;
•dividend payments and potential increases in the dividend rate;
•share repurchases;
•the cash requirements associated with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives;
•paying down outstanding debt;
•contributions to our pension and postretirement plans; and
•business-development activities.
Our long-term debt is rated high-quality by both S&P and Moody’s. See the “Credit Ratings” section below. As market conditions change, we continue to monitor our liquidity position.future. We have taken and will continue to take a conservative approach to our financial investments. Both short-terminvestments and long-termmonitoring of our liquidity position in response to market changes. Our debt investments consist primarily of high-quality, highly liquid, well-diversified available-for-sale debt securities.
Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit
We have available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We typically maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments which, together with our available revolving credit facilities, are in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of July 4, 2021,we had access to a $7 billion U.S. revolving credit facility expiring in 2025. In addition, our lenders have provided us an additional $395 million in lines of credit, of which $363 million expire within one year. Essentially all lines of credit were unused as of July 4, 2021.

(b)The increase in working capital was primarily due to:
•driven by an increase mainly driven byin short-term investments due to operating cash flow generation, and the long-term debt issuances discussed below, partially offset by debt repayment and capital expenditures; and
•the timing of accruals, cash receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.
In June 2020, Upjohn Inc.business and Upjohn Finance B.V. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Upjohn Inc.) completed privately placed debt offerings of $7.45 billion and €3.60 billion aggregate principal senior unsecured notes, respectively (the Upjohn Debt Transactions). See the “Agreement to Combine Upjohn with Mylan” section below for the discussion on the use of proceeds.
In May 2020, we completed a public offering of $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes.
In March 2020, we:
•completed a public offering of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured sustainability notes. The proceeds were initially used to repay outstanding commercial paper and subsequently will be used to help manage our environmental impact and support increased patient access to our medicines and vaccines, especially among underserved populations, and strengthen healthcare systems; and
•repurchased at par all $1.065 billion principal amount outstanding of senior unsecured notes that were due in 2047 before the maturity date, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.capital expenditures.

Agreement to Combine Upjohn with Mylan
In connection with our agreement to combine Upjohn with Mylan to form a new company, Viatris, discussed inFor information about credit ratings, LIBOR, global economic conditions, and market risk, see the “OverviewAnalysis of Our Performance, Operating Environment, StrategyFinancial Condition, Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outlook––Our Business Development Initiatives”Market Risk—Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources section of thiswithin MD&A in Juneour 2020 Upjohn Inc. (i) incurred $11.4 billion of debt in the Upjohn Debt Transactions, (ii) entered into a revolving credit agreement for up to $4 billion, $1.5 billion of which will be available in a single draw at or around the closing of the combination of Upjohn with Mylan for the sole purpose of funding the cash payment of $12 billion by Upjohn Inc. to Pfizer as partial consideration for Pfizer’s contribution of the Upjohn Business to Upjohn Inc. and (iii) entered into a $600 million delayed draw term loan agreement. Immediately prior to the proposed distribution to Pfizer’s stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Upjohn Inc.’s common stock held by Pfizer (the Distribution), Upjohn Inc. will make a cash distribution of $12 billion to Pfizer. The proceeds of the revolving credit agreement, term loan agreement and the Upjohn Debt Transactions will be used to fund the $12 billion cash distribution from Upjohn Inc. to Pfizer prior to the Distribution. In the interim, the $11.4 billion of proceeds from the Upjohn Debt Transactions were invested by Upjohn Inc. in money market funds and classified as Restricted short-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2020. Upon completion of the Upjohn Debt Transactions on June 23, 2020, the commitments under the senior unsecured $12 billion bridgeForm 10-K.
facility were fully terminated. Pfizer has guaranteed the notes in the Upjohn Debt Transactions, and such guarantees will automatically and unconditionally terminate without the consent of holders of the notes upon the Distribution. Upjohn Inc. has guaranteed the notes issued by Upjohn Finance B.V., and Upjohn Inc. will remain a guarantor of such notes post Distribution. Following the separation, Upjohn Inc. and Upjohn Finance B.V., as applicable, will remain the obligor with respect to all of the aforementioned debt. See Note 7D.
Domestic and International Selected Financial Assets
Many of our operations are conducted outside the U.S., and significant portions of our selected financial assets are held internationally. The amount of funds held in U.S. tax jurisdictions can fluctuate due to the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business and due to other reasons, such as business-development activities. As part of our ongoing liquidity assessments, we regularly monitor the mix of domestic and international cash flows (both inflows and outflows). The changes in tax law under the TCJA, which includes transitioning U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system, allow us to more easily access our selected financial assets globally.
Credit Ratings
Two major corporate debt-rating organizations, Moody’s and S&P, assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and the rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
In June 2019, S&P placed Pfizer on “CreditWatch Negative” following the announcement of Pfizer’s intention to acquire Array. The CreditWatch placement was resolved with a one-notch downgrade of Pfizer’s debt rating to ‘AA-’ upon the consummation of the transaction. In July 2019, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to combine Upjohn with Mylan, which resulted in actions from both Moody’s and S&P. Moody’s placed Pfizer’s long-term rating under review for downgrade (limited to one-notch, or ‘A2’ upon close of the Mylan transaction) while S&P lowered Pfizer’s rating to ‘AA-’ (as a result of the Array transaction) and confirmed it will still remain on CreditWatch Negative (with the expectation the rating will be lowered one additional notch to ‘A+’ upon close of the Mylan transaction).

The following summarizes the current ratings assigned by these rating agencies to our commercial paper and senior unsecured long-term debt: |

S&P | | A-1+ | | AA- | | CreditWatch Negative | | July 2019 |
Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit
We have available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We typically maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments which, together with our available revolving credit facilities, are in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of September 27, 2020,we had access to a total of $11 billion in U.S. revolving credit facilities consisting of a $7 billion facility expiring in 2024 and a $4 billion facility expiring in September 2021, which may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings. In addition to the U.S. revolving credit facilities, our lenders have provided us an additional $604 million in lines of credit, of which $574 million expire within one year. Of these total lines of credit, $11.6 billion were unused as of September 27, 2020.
LIBOR
From time to time, we issue variable rate debt based on LIBOR, or undertake interest rate swaps that contain a variable element based on LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced in July 2017 that it will no longer compel banks to submit rates that are currently used to calculate LIBOR after 2021. Various governing parties, including government agencies, are working on a benchmark transition plan for LIBOR (and other interbank offered rates globally). We are monitoring their progress, and we will likely amend contracts to accommodate any replacement rate where it is not already provided. We do not expect the transition to an alternative rate to have a material impact on our liquidity or financial resources.
Global Economic Conditions––General
The global economic environment has not had, nor do we anticipate it will have, a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources. Due to our significant operating cash flows, financial assets, access to capital markets and available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements, we continue to believe that we have, and will maintain, the ability to meet our liquidity needs
for the foreseeable future. We monitor our liquidity position continuously in the face of evolving economic conditions. For additional information see the “Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––The Global Economic Environment” section in this MD&A.
Global Economic Conditions––Venezuela and Argentina Operations
Our Venezuela and Argentina operations function in hyperinflationary economies. The impact to Pfizer is not considered material.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CertainIn the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities. For more information on guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 12B.
Additionally, certain of our co-promotion or license agreements give our licensors or partners the rights to negotiate for, or in some cases to obtain under certain financial conditions, co-promotion or other rights in specified countries with respect to certain of our products.

Our dividends are not restricted by debt covenants. While the dividend level remains a decision of Pfizer’s Board of DirectorsBOD and will continue to be evaluated in the context of future business performance, we currently believe that we can support future annual dividend increases, barring significant unforeseen events. Also, Pfizer expects that immediately following the closing of the proposed transaction to combine Upjohn with Mylan, the combined dividend dollar amount received by Pfizer shareholders, based upon the combination of continued Pfizer ownership and approximately 0.12 shares of the new company (Viatris) expected to be granted for each Pfizer share in a spin-off, will equate to Pfizer’s dividend amount in effect immediately prior to closing.

The pandemic has presented a number of risks and challenges for our business, including, among others, impacts due to travel limitations and government-mandated work-from-home or shelter-in-place orders; manufacturing disruptions and delays; supply chain interruptions, including challenges related to reliance on third-party suppliers; disruptions to pipeline development and clinical trials, including difficulties or delays in enrollment of certain clinical trials; decreased product demand, including due to reduced numbers of in-person meetings with prescribers, patient visits with physicians, vaccinations and elective surgeries resulting in fewer new prescriptions or refills of existing prescriptions and reduced demand for products used in procedures; further reduced product demand as a result of increased unemployment; challenges presented by reallocating human capital, R&D, manufacturing and other resources to assist in responding to the pandemic without disruption to our operations; costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including protocols intended to reduce the risk of transmission; increased supply chain costs and additional R&D costs incurred in our efforts to develop a vaccine and treatment for COVID-19; challenges related to our business development initiatives, including potential delays or disruptions related to regulatory approvals; interruptions or delays in the operations of certain regulatory authorities, which may delay the approvals of new products we are developing, potential label expansions for existing products and the launch of newly-approved products; potential increased cyber incidents such as phishing, social engineering and malware attacks; challenges related to our intellectual property, both domestically and internationally, including in response to any pressure or legal or regulatory action, by various stakeholders or governments that could potentially result in us not seeking intellectual property protection for, licensing or agreeing not to enforce our intellectual property rights related to our medicines, including potential vaccines and treatments for COVID-19; and other challenges presented by disruptions to our normal operations in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of the pandemic and its impacts and government or regulatory actions to contain the virus or control the supply of medicines.ITEM 2.

We also face uncertainties related to our efforts to develop a potential treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, including uncertainties related to the risk that our development programs may not be successful, commercially viable or receive approval or Emergency Use Authorization from regulatory authorities; risks associated with preliminary data, including the possibility of unfavorable new preclinical or clinical trial data and further analyses of existing preclinical or clinical trial data that may be inconsistent with the data used for selection of the BNT162b2 vaccine candidate and dose level for the Phase 2/3 study; the risk that clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations and assessments, including during the peer review/publication process, in the scientific community generally, and by regulatory authorities; whether and when additional data from the BNT162 mRNA vaccine program will be published in scientific journal publications and, if so, when and with what
modifications; disruptions in the relationships between us and our collaboration partners or third-party suppliers; the risk that other companies may produce superior or competitive products; the risk that demand for any products we may develop may no longer exist; risks related to the availability of raw materials to manufacture any such products; challenges related to our vaccine candidate’s ultra-low temperature formulation and attendant storage, distribution and administration requirements, including risks related to handling after delivery by Pfizer; the risk that we may not be able to successfully develop non-frozen formulations; the risk that we may not be able to recoup costs associated with our R&D and manufacturing efforts and risks associated with any changes in the way we approach or provide additional research funding for potential drug development related to COVID-19; the risk that we may not be able to create or scale up manufacturing capacity on a timely basis or have access to logistics or supply channels commensurate with global demand for any potential approved vaccine or product candidate, which would negatively impact our ability to supply the estimated numbers of doses of our vaccine candidate within the projected time periods indicated, and other challenges and risks associated with the pace of our vaccine development program; and pricing and access challenges for such products, including in the U.S.
Further, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could precipitate or amplify the other risks that we identify in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Form 10-K, which could materially adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition and results.
We are continuing to monitor the latest developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition and results, and have made certain assumptions regarding the pandemic for purposes of our operational planning and financial projections, including assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the pandemic and the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic. Despite careful tracking and planning, however, we are unable to accurately predict the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition and results due to the uncertainty of future developments. In particular, we believe the ultimate impact on our business, operations and financial condition and results will be affected by the speed and extent of the continued spread of the coronavirus globally, the duration of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity and incidence of COVID-19, the safety, efficacy and availability of a vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic and governmental or regulatory actions to contain the virus or control supply of medicines. The pandemic may also affect our business, operations or financial condition and results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks.
