NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Presentation
We prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2022 Form 10-K. As permitted under the SEC requirements for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted.
These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2022 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.
Pfizer’s fiscal quarter-end for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three and sixnine months ended May 28,August 27, 2023 and May 29,August 28, 2022, and for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three and sixnine months ended July 2,October 1, 2023 and July 3,October 2, 2022.
We manage our commercial operations through two operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma and Business Innovation. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 13A below and Note 17A in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Business development activities impacted financial results in the periods presented. In March 2023, we and Seagen announced that the companies entered into an agreement under which we will acquire Seagen, a global biotechnology company that discovers, develops and commercializes transformative cancer medicines, for $229 in cash per Seagen share for a total enterprise value of approximately $43 billion. We expect to finance the transaction substantially through $31 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2023 (see Note 7D), and the balance from a combination of short-term financing and existing cash. The transaction was approved by Seagen’s shareholders in May 2023. In October 2023, we received unconditional antitrust clearance from the EC on the proposed acquisition. The transaction is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024, and remains subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. See Note 2 below, as well as Notes 1A and 2 in our 2022 Form 10-K.
We have made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior-period amounts to the current presentation for segment reporting.
B. New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, we adopted a new accounting standard for supplier finance programs which requires increased disclosures in the notes to our financial statements. See Note 8C.
In the second quarter of 2023, we adopted new accounting standards on reference rate reform that provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that were discontinued after June 30, 2023. We applied certain of the optional expedients related to hedge accounting relationships. The main purpose of the expedients is to allow hedge accounting to continue uninterrupted and make it easier to apply the requirements to maintain hedge accounting during the transition period through December 31, 2024.
C. Revenues and Trade Accounts Receivable
Customers––Our prescription biopharmaceutical products, with the exception of Paxlovid, are sold principally to wholesalers, but we also sell directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies. We principally sell Paxlovid to government agencies and distributors. In the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccines directly to the federal government (including the CDC), wholesalers, individual provider offices, retail pharmacies and integrated delivery systems. Outside the U.S., we primarily sell our vaccines to government and non-government institutions.
Deductions from Revenues––Our accruals for Medicare, Medicaid and related state program and performance-based contract rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns and cash discounts are as follows:

Total accrued rebates and other sales-related accruals$7,757 $6,722 
Trade Accounts Receivable––Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses reflects our 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. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk, specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded.
During the three and sixnine months ended July 2,October 1, 2023 and July 3,October 2, 2022, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For additional information on our trade accounts receivable, see Note 1G in our 2022 Form 10-K.

D. Research and Development Arrangement
Research and Development Funding Arrangement with Blackstone––In April 2023, we entered into an arrangement with Blackstone under which we will receive up to a total of $550 million in 2023 through 2026 to co-fund our quarterly development costs for specified treatments. As there is substantive transfer of risk to the financial partner, the development funding is recognized by us as an obligation to perform contractual services. We are recognizing the funding as a reduction of Research and development expenses using an attribution model over the period of the related expenses. The reduction to Research and development expenses for the secondthird quarter and first nine months of 2023 was $45 million.$43 million and $88 million, respectively. If successful, upon regulatory approval in the U.S. or certain major markets in the EU for the indications based on the applicable clinical trials, Blackstone will be eligible to receive approval-based fixed milestone payments of up to $468 million contingent upon the successful results of the clinical trials. Fixed milestone payments due upon approval will be recorded as intangible assets and amortized to Amortization of intangible assets over the shorter of the term of the agreement or estimated commercial life of the product. Following potential regulatory approval, Blackstone will be eligible to receive a combination of fixed milestone payments of up to $550 million in total based on achievement of certain levels of cumulative applicable net sales, as well as royalties based on a mid-to-high single digit percentage of the applicable net sales. Fixed sales-based milestone payments will be recorded as intangible assets and amortized to Amortization of intangible assets over the shorter of the term of the agreement or estimated commercial life of the product, and royalties on net sales will be recorded as Cost of sales when incurred.

Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
A. Transforming to a More Focused Company Program
In 2019, we announced that we would be incurring costs associated with our Transforming to a More Focused Company Program, a multi-year effort to ensure our cost base aligns appropriately with our operating structure following Pfizer’s transformation into a more focused, innovative science-based global biopharmaceutical business. This program includes activities to (i) restructure our corporate enabling functions to appropriately support our operating structure; (ii) transform our commercial go-to-market model; and (iii) optimize our manufacturing network and R&D operations.
The activities associated with transforming our commercial go-to-market model are substantially complete. Activities associated with restructuring our corporate enabling functions and optimizing our manufacturing network and R&D operations are ongoing and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2023. The costs to restructure our corporate enabling functions, and to optimize our R&D operations and reduce cycle times, as well as to further prioritize our internal R&D portfolio, primarily include severance and implementation costs. The costs to optimize our manufacturing network largely include severance, implementation costs, product transfer costs, site exit costs, and accelerated depreciation.
From the start of this program in the fourth quarter of 2019 through July 2,October 1, 2023, we incurred costs of $3.8$3.9 billion, of which $1.5 billion ($1.1 billion of restructuring charges) is associated with Biopharma. We have incurred approximately 85%90% of total expected costs to date, and we expect the remaining costs to be substantially incurred through 2023.

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 IncomeIncome/(Loss) from Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was (3.1)%28.8% for the secondthird quarter of 2023, compared to 13.7%4.0% for the secondthird quarter of 2022, and was 7.5%(6.2)% for the first sixnine months of 2023, compared to 13.4%10.5% for the first sixnine months of 2022. The positive effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 reflects a tax benefit on a pre-tax loss primarily resulting from changes in forecast and jurisdictional mix of earnings. The tax benefit for the third quarter of 2023 and the negative effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 and the lower effective tax rates for the second quarter and first sixnine months of 2023, compared to the secondtax provisions for the third quarter and first sixnine months of 2022, were primarily due to changes in forecast and jurisdictional mix of earnings. The tax provisions for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 also included tax benefits in the second quarter of 2023 related to global income tax resolutions in multiple tax jurisdictions spanning multiple tax years and a favorable change inthat included the jurisdictional mixclosing of earnings.U.S. Internal Revenue Service audits covering five tax years.
We 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 fifth annual installment of this liability was paid by its April 18, 2023 due date. The sixth annual installment is due April 15, 2024 and is reported in current Income taxes payable as of July 2,October 1, 2023. The remaining liability is reported in noncurrent Other taxes payable. 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.
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.
The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the IRS. With respect to Pfizer, tax years 2016-2018 are under audit. Tax years 2019-2023 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 and certain related audits, appeals and investigations in certain major international tax jurisdictions dating back to 2012.

E. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Exchange Risk––A significant portion of our revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Where foreign exchange risk is not offset by other exposures, we manage our foreign exchange risk principally through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. 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,pound, Japanese Yen, Chinese renminbi, Singaporeyen, Canadian dollar and Canadian dollar,Chinese renminbi, and include a portion of our forecasted foreign exchange-denominated intercompany inventory sales hedged up to two years. We may seek to protect against possible declines in the reported net investments of our foreign business entities.
Interest Rate Risk––Our interest-bearing investments and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. Depending on market conditions, we may 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 to fixed rates. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt.

(b)The amounts reclassified from OCI into COS were:
a net gain of $55$49 million in the secondthird quarter of 2023;
a net gain of $146$195 million in the first sixnine months of 2023;
a net gain of $68$125 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022; and
a net gain of $102$227 million in the first sixnine months of 2022.
The remaining amounts were reclassified from OCI into OID. Based on quarter-end foreign exchange rates that are subject to change, we expect to reclassify a pre-tax gain of $208$302 million within the next 12 months into income. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future foreign exchange cash flows is approximately 20 years and relates to foreign currency debt.
(c)The amounts reclassified from OCI were reclassified into OID.
(d)Short-term borrowings and long-term debt include foreign currency borrowings, which are used in net investment hedges. The related long-term debt carrying values as of July 2,October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $812$790 million and $795 million, respectively.

F. Credit Risk
A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable balances are due from wholesalers and governments. For additional information on our trade accounts receivables with significant customers, see Note 13C below and Note 17C in our 2022 Form 10-K.
As of July 2,October 1, 2023, the largest investment exposures in our portfolio consistconsisted primarily of money market funds mainly invested in U.S. Treasury and government debt, as well as sovereign debt instruments issued by the U.S., Germany, Canada, Japan,France, the U.K., and France.Japan.
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 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 2,October 1, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are in a net payable position was $854$941 million, for which we have posted collateral of $867 million$1.0 billion with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term investments. As of July 2,October 1, 2023, the aggregate fair value of our derivative financial instruments that are in a net receivable position was $422$333 million, for which we have received collateral of $366$256 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

C. Supplier Finance Program Obligation
We maintain voluntary supply chain finance agreements with several participating financial institutions. Under these agreements, participating suppliers may voluntarily elect to sell their accounts receivable with Pfizer to these financial institutions. Our suppliers negotiate their financing agreements directly with the respective financial institutions and we are not a party to these agreements. We have no economic interest in our suppliers’ decision to participate and we pay the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the original maturity dates, which is generally within 90 to 120 days of the invoice date. The agreements with the financial institutions do not require Pfizer to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance program. All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in such financing arrangements are recorded within trade payables in our consolidated balance sheet. As of July 2,October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, $779$781 million and $849 million of our trade payables to suppliers who participate in these financing arrangements arewere outstanding.

(b)The decrease in the gross carrying amount mainly reflects the transfer from IPR&D to developed technology rights as a result of the approval in the U.S. of Zavzpret nasal spray.
(c)The decrease is primarily due to amortization expense of $2.3$3.5 billion and impairments of $248 million (see Note 4), partially offset by additions of $681 million mostly related to milestone payments for the approvals in the U.S. for Zavzpret nasal spray and Ngenla.

Note 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, guarantees and indemnifications. The following outlines our legal contingencies, guarantees and indemnifications. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5B.
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. An adverse outcome could result in loss of patent protection for a product, a significant loss of revenues from a product or impairment of the value of associated assets. We are the plaintiff in the majority of these actions.
Product liability and other product-related litigation related to current or former products, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, and 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, and can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter.
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, royalty payments, 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 matters, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are accrued or paid.
25


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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.
26


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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. For proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party, we have adopted a disclosure threshold of $1 million in potential or actual governmental monetary sanctions.
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 to assess materiality, such as, among others, the amount of damages and the nature of other relief sought, if 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. Some of the matters discussed below include those which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.
A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation
We are involved in suits relating to our patents (or those of our collaboration/licensing partners to which we have licenses or co-promotion rights), including but not limited to, those discussed below. We face claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products (or those of our collaboration/licensing partners to which we have licenses or co-promotion rights and to which we may or may not be a party), 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 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. Some of our collaboration or licensing partners face challenges to the validity of their patent rights in non-U.S. jurisdictions. For example, in April 2022, the U.K. High Court issued a judgment finding invalid a BMS patent related to Eliquis due to expire in 2026. In November 2022, BMS received permission to appeal the High Court’s decision and the appeal hearing was held in April 2023. In May 2023, the Court of Appeal dismissed BMS’s appeal and in October 2023, the Supreme Court refused BMS’s permission to appeal. Additional challenges are pending in other jurisdictions. Also, in July 2022, CureVac AG (CureVac) brought a patent infringement action against BioNTech and certain of its subsidiaries in the German Regional Court alleging that Comirnaty infringes certain German utility model patents and certain expired and unexpired European patents. Additional challenges involving Comirnaty patents may be filed against us and/or BioNTech in other jurisdictions in the future. Adverse decisions in these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 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.
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, as well as court proceedings relating to our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others, including challenges to such rights initiated by us. For example, we have challenged certain of GSK’s RSV vaccine patents in certain ex-U.S. jurisdictions.Also, if one of our patents (or one of our collaboration/licensing partner’s 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 have been challenged in inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as outside the U.S. The invalidation of any of the patents in our pneumococcal portfolio could potentially allow additional competitor vaccines, if approved, to enter the marketplace earlier than anticipated. In the event that any of the patents are found valid and infringed, a competitor’s vaccine, if approved, might be prohibited from entering the market or a competitor might be required to pay us 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. If one of our marketed products (or a
26

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
product of our collaboration/licensing partners to which we have licenses or co-promotion rights) is found to infringe valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages or royalty payments, or we may be prevented from further sales of that product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold if we or one of our subsidiaries is found to have willfully infringed valid patent rights of a third party.

A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation
We 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. 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 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 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 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 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. In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court.
Lipitor
Beginning in 2011, purported class actions relating to Lipitor were filed in various federal courts against, among others, Pfizer, certain Pfizer affiliates, and, in most of the actions, Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (Ranbaxy) and certain Ranbaxy affiliates. The plaintiffs in these various actions seek to represent nationwide, multi-state or statewide classes consisting of persons or entities who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) from any of the defendants from March 2010 until the cessation of the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct (the Class Period). The plaintiffs allege delay in the launch of generic Lipitor, in violation of federal antitrust laws and/

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. These various actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a MDL in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In September 2013 and 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims of the direct purchasers. In October and November 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims of all other MDL plaintiffs. All plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s orders dismissing their claims with prejudice to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In addition, the direct purchaser class plaintiffs appealed the order denying their motion to amend the judgment and for leave to amend their complaint to the Court of Appeals. In 2017, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court.
Also, in 2013, the State of West Virginia filed an action in West Virginia state court against Pfizer and Ranbaxy, among others, that asserts claims and seeks relief on behalf of the State of West Virginia and residents of that state that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above.

Plaintiffs in this action generally allege that Pfizer and Mylan conspired to delay market entry of generic EpiPen through the settlement of patent litigation regarding EpiPen, and thereby delayed market entry of generic EpiPen in violation of federal antitrust law. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for alleged overcharges for EpiPen since 2011. In July 2021, the District Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the direct purchaser complaint, without prejudice. In September 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In August 2022, the District Court granted Pfizer’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and plaintiffs have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

A4. Legal Proceedings––Government Investigations
We are subject to extensive regulation by government agencies in the U.S., other developed markets and multiple emerging markets in which we operate. Criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, limitations on our ability to conduct business in applicable jurisdictions, corporate integrity or deferred prosecution agreements, as well as reputational harm and increased public interest in the matter could result from government investigations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we do business. These matters often involve government requests for information on a voluntary basis or through subpoenas after which the government may seek additional information through follow-up requests or additional subpoenas. In addition, in a qui tam lawsuit in which the government declines to intervene, the relator may still pursue a suit for the recovery of civil damages and penalties on behalf of the government. Among the investigations by government agencies are the matters discussed below.

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 July 2,October 1, 2023, the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations is not material to Pfizer.
In addition, in connection with our entry into certain agreements and other transactions, our counterparties may be obligated to indemnify us. For example, 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, each of Viatris and Pfizer has agreed to assume, and to indemnify the other for, liabilities arising out of certain matters.

Note 13. Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information
A. Segment Information
We manage our commercial operations through two operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma and Business Innovation, an operating segment established in the first quarter of 2023 that includes PC1, our contract development and manufacturing organization and a leading supplier of specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients, and Pfizer Ignite, a recently launched offering that provides strategic guidance and end-to-end R&D services to select innovative biotech companies that align with Pfizer’s R&D focus areasareas. B. Biopharmaiopharma is the only reportable segment. Each operating segment has responsibility for its commercial activities. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell our products and are supported by global platform functions that are responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and supply of our products and global corporate enabling functions. In consideration of planned future investments in oncology, including the proposed acquisition of Seagen, we are reorganizing our R&D operations. Beginning in July 2023, discovery to early- and late-phase clinical development for oncology is performed by a new end-to-end Oncology Research and Development (ORD) platform function and discovery to early- and late-phase clinical development for all remaining therapeutic areas is consolidated into the Pfizer Research and Development (PRD) platform function. ORD and PRD replace our former WRDM and Global Product Development (GPD) organizational design. Biopharma receives its R&D services from WRDMORD and GPD.PRD. These services include IPR&D projects for new investigational products and additional indications for in-line products. Each operating segment has a geographic footprint across developed and emerging markets. Our chief operating decision maker uses the revenues and earnings of the operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation.
Other Business Activities and Reconciling Items––Other business activities include the operating results of Business Innovation as well as certain pre-tax costs not allocated to our operating segment results, such as costs associated with: (i) R&D and medical expenses managed by our WRDM organizationORD and costs associated with our GPD organization;PRD organizations; (ii) corporate enabling functions and other corporate costs; (iii) overhead costs primarily associated with our manufacturing operations; and (iv) our share of earnings from Haleon/the Consumer Healthcare JV.

In May 2023, we and our collaboration partner, BioNTech, amended our contract with the EC to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to the EU. The amended agreement includes rephasing of delivery of doses annually through 2026 and an aggregate volume reduction, providing additional flexibility for EU member states. The EC will maintain access to future adapted COVID-19 vaccines and the ability to donate doses, in alignment with the original agreement. See Note 13C.

Remaining Performance Obligations––Contracted revenue expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for firm orders in long-term contracts to supply Comirnaty to our customers totaled approximately $9 billion as of July 2,October 1, 2023, which includes amounts received in advance and deferred, as well as amounts that will be invoiced as we deliver these products to our customers in future periods. Of this amount, current contract terms provide for expected delivery of product with contracted revenue from 2023 through 2026, the timing and terms of which may be renegotiated. Remaining performance obligations are based on foreign exchange rates as of the end of our fiscal secondthird quarter of 2023 and exclude arrangements with an original expected contract duration of less than one year.

Note 14. Subsequent Event
Amended Paxlovid Supply Agreement with the U.S. Government–– On October 13, 2023, we announced an amended agreement with the U.S. government, which will facilitate the expected transition of Paxlovid to traditional commercial markets in November 2023, with prices to be negotiated with commercial payers and a copay assistance program for eligible privately insured patients, as the U.S. government begins to discontinue the distribution of EUA-labeled Paxlovid. We will ensure commercial readiness by providing NDA-labeled commercial supply to all channels by the end of 2023. However, EUA-labeled Paxlovid will remain available free-of-charge to all eligible patients until the end of 2023, and therefore, we expect only minimal uptake of NDA-labeled commercial product before January 1, 2024. Components of this agreement include: (i) a non-cash return of any remaining EUA-labeled U.S. government inventory at the end of 2023, estimated to be 7.9 million treatment courses, with an associated revenue reversal of approximately $4.2 billion to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023; (ii) the conversion of those remaining EUA-labeled treatment courses previously purchased by the U.S. government to a volume-based credit, which will support continued access to Paxlovid through a U.S. government patient assistance program operated by Pfizer (which will provide the estimated 7.9 million treatment courses of FDA-approved, NDA-labeled Paxlovid free of charge to all eligible uninsured, Medicare and Medicaid patients through 2024, and to eligible uninsured and underinsured patients through 2028); and (iii) the creation in 2024 of a U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of 1.0 million treatment courses to enable future pandemic preparedness through 2028, to be managed and supplied by Pfizer at no cost to the U.S. government or taxpayers. While we will recognize revenue as the estimated 8.9 million treatment courses are delivered, there is no cash compensation for these treatment courses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following MD&A is intended to assist the reader in understanding our financial condition and results of operations, including an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources, and is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1. Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
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 because 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.
OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE, OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our Business and Strategy––Pfizer Inc. is a research-based, global biopharmaceutical company. We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives. In 2023, we are making additional investments in both R&D and SI&A to support Pfizer’s near- and longer-term growth plans, including to support anticipated new launches, commercial launch of COVID-19 products, potential pipeline programs and recently acquired assets. We manage our commercial operations through a global structure consisting of two operating segments: Biopharma and Business Innovation. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 13A.
We expect to incurSince inception through the third quarter of 2023, we have incurred substantially all costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which approximately 90% has been incurred since inception and through the second quarter of 2023.Upjohn. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and transaction costs.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began taking steps through our Transforming to a More Focused Company restructuring program to optimize our end-to-end R&D operations to reduce costs and cycle times as well as to further prioritize our internal R&D portfolio in areas where our capabilities are differentiated while increasing external innovation efforts to leverage an expanding and productive biotech sector. See Note 3. For a description of savings related to this program, see the Costs and Expenses––Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives section within MD&A.
In July 2023, we announced that in consideration of planned future investments in oncology, including the proposed acquisition of Seagen, we are reorganizing how our R&D operationsoperations. See Note 13A.
In October 2023, we announced that we launched a multi-year, enterprise-wide cost realignment program that aims to realign our costs with our longer-term revenue expectations. The program is expected to deliver annual net cost savings of at least $3.5 billion, of which approximately $1.0 billion is expected to be realized in 2023 and at least an additional $2.5 billion is expected to be realized in 2024 compared to the midpoint of SI&A and R&D expense guidance provided on August 1, 2023. The costs to achieve the savings associated with the new cost realignment program are conducted. Beginning in July 2023, discoveryexpected to early-be approximately $3.0 billion, of which the majority is expected to be cash. These costs will primarily include severance and late-phase clinical developmentimplementation costs. We will continue to refine the estimated savings and their associated costs over the remainder of the year and will incorporate them into our full-year guidance for oncology will be performed by a new end-to-end Oncology Research and Development platform function and discovery to early- and late-phase clinical development for all remaining therapeutic areas will be consolidated in the Pfizer Research and Development platform function.2024.
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 2022 Form 10-K.
Our Business Development Initiatives––We are committed to strategically capitalizing on growth opportunities, primarily by advancing our own product pipeline and maximizing the value of our existing products, but also through various business development activities. Our significant recent business development activities include the transactions discussed in NotesNotes 1A and 2, including the proposed acquisition of Seagen, as well as the following:
Proposed DivestitureAcquisition of Early-Stage Rare Disease Gene Therapy PortfolioTelavant Holdings, Inc. (Telavant)–In JulyOctober 2023, we and Roivant Sciences Ltd.

Roivant currently owns approximately 75% and we currently own approximately 25% of Telavant. Telavant was created through an arrangement between Roivant and us under which Alexion will purchasewe out-licensed the global development and licensemanufacturing rights and the assetsU.S. and Japan commercialization rights to our anti-TL1a antibody PF-06480605, now RVT-3101, to Telavant in exchange for our ownership interest in Telavant and Roivant’s agreement to fund the ongoing R&D of our early-stage rare disease gene therapy portfolio.

Termination of Collaboration Arrangement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (Merck KGaA)–In March 2023, it was announced that our alliance with Merck KGaA to co-develop and co-commercialize Bavencio (avelumab) will terminate. Effective June 30, 2023, Merck KGaA took full control of the global commercialization of Bavencio. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the current profit share will be replaced by a 15% royalty to Pfizer on net sales of Bavencio. We and Merck KGaA will continue to operationalize our respective ongoing clinical trials for Bavencio; and Merck KGaA will control all future R&D activities.

Our SecondThird Quarter 2023 and First SixNine Months of 2023 Performance
Revenues––Revenues decreased $15.0$9.4 billion, or 54%42%, in the secondthird quarter of 2023 to $12.7$13.2 billion from $27.7$22.6 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2022, reflecting an operational decrease of $14.7$9.3 billion, or 53%41%, as well as an unfavorablea de minimis impact of foreign exchange of $283 million, or 1%.$94 million. The operational decrease was primarily driven by declines in Paxlovid and Comirnaty. Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, revenues increased $537 million,$1.1 billion, or 5%10%, operationally, reflecting U.S. revenues from recently acquired products,Abrysvo following launch of the older adult indication; revenues from Nurtec ODT/Vydura and Oxbryta,Oxbryta; and strong growth from the Vyndaqel family partially offset by declines in Inflectra inand the U.S. and Ibrance.Prevnar family.
Revenues decreased $22.4$31.8 billion, or 42%, in the first sixnine months of 2023 to $31.0$44.2 billion from $53.4$76.0 billion in the first sixnine months of 2022, reflecting an operational decrease of $21.4$30.7 billion, or 40%, as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $1.0$1.1 billion, or 2%1%. The operational decrease was primarily driven by declines in Comirnaty and Paxlovid. Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, revenues increased $1.1$2.2 billion, or 5%7%, operationally, reflecting revenues from recently acquired products, Nurtec ODT/Vydura and Oxbryta, as well asOxbryta; strong growth from the Vyndaqel family; U.S. revenues from Abrysvo following launch of the older adult indication; and growth from the Prevnar family and Eliquis, and increased Sulperazon revenues in China in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by a decline in Ibrance.Eliquis.
As of August 1,October 31, 2023, on a total company basis, we forecasted revenues in 2023 of $67$58 billion to $70$61 billion, reflecting an operational decline of 31%40% at the midpoint compared to 2022 revenues, due to expected revenue declines from 2022 results, which weour COVID-19 products, partially offset by expected operational growth from our non-COVID-19 in-line portfolio, new product and indication launches and recently acquired products. We expect these revenue declines will also have an unfavorable impact on Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income. The total company expected revenue declines in 2023 are driven by an expected reduction in sales of our COVID-19 products, partially offset by expected operational growth from our non-COVID-19 in-line portfolio, anticipated new product and indication launches, and recently acquired products.

Our Operating Environment––We, like other businesses in our industry, are subject to certain industry-specific challenges. These include, among others, the topics listed below, as well as in the Item 1. Business––Government Regulation and Price Constraints and Item 1A. Risk Factors sections, and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&A of our 2022 Form 10-K and the Item 1A. Risk Factors section of this Form 10-Q.
41


Intellectual Property Rights and Collaboration/Licensing Rights––The loss, expiration or invalidation of intellectual property rights, patent litigation settlements and judgments, and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights can have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Certain of our 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 increased generic competition over the next few years. While additional patent expiries will continue, we expect a moderate impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries from 2023 through 2025. We anticipate a more significant impact of reduced revenues from patent expiries in 2026 through 2030 as several of our in-line products experience patent-based expirations. We continue to vigorously defend our patent rights against
39


infringement, and we will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights while taking necessary steps to help ensure appropriate patient access.
For additional information, see the Item 1. Business––Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights and the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Intellectual Property Protection sections of our 2022 Form 10-K. For a discussion of recent developments with respect to patent litigation, see Note 12A1.
Regulatory Environment/Pricing and Access––Government and Other Payer Group Pressures––Governments globally, as well as private third-party payers in the U.S., may use a variety of measures to control costs, including, among others, proposinglegislative or regulatory pricing reform or legislation, employingreforms, drug formularies to control costs,(including tiering and utilization management tools), 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. We anticipate that these and similar initiatives will continue to increase pricing and access pressures globally. In the U.S., we expect to see continued focus by Congress and the Biden Administration on regulating pricing. The drug pricing which could result in legislative and regulatory changes designed to control costs. We continue to evaluate the impactprovisions of the IRA, which was signed into law in August 2022, began to be implemented in 2023 and implementation efforts will continue over the next several years. In August 2023, the Biden Administration unveiled the first round of medicines subject to the “Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program,” which requires manufacturers of select drugs to engage in a process with the Federal government to set new Medicare prices which would go into effect in 2026. Among the medicines included in the first round is Eliquis. We continue to evaluate the impact of the IRA on our business, operations and financial condition and results as the full effect of the IRA on our business and the pharmaceutical industry remains uncertain. In addition, changes to the Medicaid program or the federal 340B drug pricing program, including legal or legislative developments at the federal or state level with respect to the 340B program, could have a material impact on our business. See the Item 1. Business––Pricing Pressures and Managed Care Organizations and ––Government Regulation and Price Constraints and the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Pricing and Reimbursement sections, and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&A of our 2022 Form 10-K.
Impact of Recent Tornado in Rocky Mount, North Carolina (NC)(NC)––Our manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, NC was damaged by a tornado in July 2023. The facility is a key producer of sterile injectables and is responsible for manufacturing nearly 25 percent of all our sterile injectables—including anesthesia, analgesia, and micronutrients—which is nearly eight percent of all the sterile injectables used in U.S. hospitals. The HiRise warehouse sustained major damage and all raw materials, packaging supplies and finished medicines stored within were damaged. All necessary supplies have been reordered for expedited delivery and we are actively engaging with suppliers. We are working diligently to move product stored within other areasAs of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the majority of the facility’s manufacturing lines have restarted. This expedited restart is the first step toward full recovery for the facility, notas Pfizer restarts production through a phased approach, with full production across the site’s three manufacturing suites anticipated by the end of 2023. While manufacturing has resumed, the supply of medicines impacted by the event to other nearby sites for storage and to secure temporary warehouse space in the vicinity, as an interim solution, until the warehouse on the Rocky Mount campus can be rebuilt. We are also exploring alternative manufacturing locations for production across our significant manufacturing presence in the U.S. and internationally and across our partner network. After an initial assessment, there does not appeartornado is expected to be major damageaffected through at least mid-2024.
During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded $209 million to Cost of sales for inventory losses, overhead costs related to the production areas.period in which the facility could not operate, and incremental costs resulting from the tornado damage. We are committedcontinue to rapidly restoring full function to the site. We are providing financial support to help local communities affected by the natural disaster. We are currently evaluatingevaluate the financial impact of the tornado on our business includingand may record additional losses and/or costs to repair and rebuild the site, inventory losses, potential losses from stock outages at the hospital/retail level, overhead costs related to the period in which the plant may be inoperable, as well as other one-time remediation and/or other incremental costs which may be necessary as we workfuture periods in order to bring our plantfacility fully back online, but we are unable to predict the impact orthem, along with insurance recoveries, with certainty at this time.
Product Supply––We periodically encounter supply delays, disruptions and shortages, including due to voluntary product recalls and natural or man-made disasters. In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, are evaluating their product portfolios for the potential presence or formation of nitrosamines. This has led to recalls, including our voluntary recall of Chantix in 2021 and additional voluntary recalls initiated for other products in 2022 due to the presence of nitrosamines above the FDA interim acceptable intake limit, and may lead to additional recalls or other market actions for Pfizer products.
Except for the recent tornado in Rocky Mount, NC discussed above, we have not seen a significant disruption of our supply chain in the first sixnine months of 2023 and to date, and all of our manufacturing sites globally have continued to operate at or near normal levels; however, we continue to see heightened demand in the industry for certain components and raw materials, which could potentially result in constraining available supply leading to a possible future impact on our business. We are continuing to monitor and implement mitigation strategies in an effort to reduce any potential risk or impact including active supplier management, qualification of additional suppliers and advanced purchasing to the extent possible. For information on
42


risks related to product manufacturing, see the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Product Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Risks section of our 2022 Form 10-K.
The Global Economic Environment––In addition to the industry-specific factors discussed above, we, like other businesses of our size and global extent of activities, are exposed to economic cycles. See the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––The Global Economic Environment section of the MD&A of our 2022 Form 10-K.
COVID-19––In response to COVID-19, we have developed Paxlovid and collaborated with BioNTech to jointly develop Comirnaty, including subject to approval, an Omicron XBB.1.5-adapted monovalent vaccine. As part of our strategy for
40


COVID-19, we are continuing to make significant additional investments in breakthrough science and global manufacturing. This includes continuing to evaluate Comirnaty and Paxlovid, including against new variants of concern, developing variant adapted vaccine candidates and developing potential combination respiratory vaccines and potential next generation vaccines and therapies. We are also evaluating Paxlovid for additional populations. See the Product Developments section within MD&A.
In the first sixnine months of 2023 and to date, we principally sold Comirnaty globally under government contracts and Paxlovid globally to government agencies and distributors. We expectcontracts. In September 2023, Comirnaty in the U.S. will transitiontransitioned to traditional commercial market sales in the second half of 2023,U.S., triggered by the expiration of current contracts and the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech purchased through them becoming either depleted or not used following the introduction of a new variant vaccine. Internationally, we expect sales of Comirnaty in international developed markets to generally be under government contracts in 2023, and in emerging markets, under a combination of private channels and government contracts; in both cases, we expect to generallystart transitioning to commercial markets in 2024.
In the first nine months of 2023 and to date, we principally sold Paxlovid globally to government agencies and distributors. Internationally, for Paxlovid, we are continuing the transition to commercial markets startingand are expecting most revenue to be generated through commercial channels in 2024. ForOn October 13, 2023, we announced an amended agreement with the U.S. government, which will facilitate the expected transition of Paxlovid we expect to transition to traditional commercial markets in November 2023, with minimal uptake of NDA-labeled commercial product expected before January 1, 2024. See Note 14.
To date, the second halfmajority of 2023 rather than significant government purchases. We anticipate this transition in the U.S. to occur in the second half of 2023, though at this point we have not yet agreed on a transition plan with the U.S. government. We also remain committed to helping ensure broad and equitable access to our COVID-19 products to eligible patients around the world. Revenues from our COVID-19 products are expected to go from their peak in 2022 to their low point in 2023 before potentially returning to growth in 2024. While patient demand for our COVID-19 products is expected to remain strong throughoutin 2023 much of that demand is expected to behas been fulfilled by existing supply of products that were delivered to governments and recorded as revenues in 2022. As of August 1,October 31, 2023, we forecasted Comirnaty revenues of approximately $13.5$11.5 billion in 2023, down 64%70% from actual 2022 results, with gross profit to be split evenly with BioNTech, and Paxlovid revenues of approximately $8$1 billion in 2023, down 58%95% from actual 2022 results. This forecast reflects an expected $9 billion revenue decline, composed of $7 billion for Paxlovid and $2 billion for Comirnaty, versus forecasted revenues as of August 1, 2023, primarily due to an expected $4.2 billion non-cash sales-return of EUA-labeled Paxlovid from the U.S. government, lower-than-expected vaccination- and infection-rates, and delayed commercialization in the U.S. for Paxlovid. These forecasts are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainties, including, among others, patient demand, which could be significantly impacted by the infectiousness and severity of the predominant strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during 2023, proportion of the population that receives a vaccine or is treated with an oral antiviral treatment, the number of doses per vaccinated person per year, number of symptomatic infections, and market share of Comirnaty and Paxlovid and the timing for transitioning Comirnaty and Paxlovid to commercial markets in the U.S.Paxlovid.

Israel/Hamas Conflict––Our global operations may be impacted by the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas that began on October 7, 2023. For both the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the business of our Israel subsidiary represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenues and assets. We are closely monitoring developments in this conflict, including evaluating potential impacts to our business, customers, suppliers, employees, and operations in Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East. At this time, impacts to the Company are uncertain and subject to change given the volatile nature of the situation.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict––Our global operations may be impacted by the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. For both the sixnine months ended July 2,October 1, 2023 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the business of our Russia and Ukraine subsidiaries represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenues and assets, and while we are monitoring the effects of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the situation continues to evolve and the long-term implications, including the broader economic consequences of the conflict, are difficult to predict at this time. While as of now, we do not anticipate any significant negative impacts on our business from this conflict, continued regional instability, geopolitical shifts, potential additional sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, any retaliatory measures taken by Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, and actions by our customers or suppliers, including financial institutions, in response to such measures could adversely affect the global macroeconomic environment, our operations, currency exchange rates and financial markets, which could in turn adversely impact our business and results of
43


operations. For additional information on our response to the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as risks associated with the conflict, see the Item 1A. Risk Factors—Global Operations section and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section of the MD&A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Emerging markets revenues decreased $6.1$7.0 billion, or 45%42%, in the first sixnine months of 2023 to $7.3$9.7 billion from $13.4$16.7 billion in the first sixnine months of 2022, reflecting an operational decrease of $5.6$6.4 billion, or 42%39%, and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of 3%. The operational decrease in emerging markets was primarily driven by declines from Comirnaty, partially offset by growth from Paxlovid, as well as increased Sulperazon revenues inLorbrena and Zavicefta.

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. These deductions represent estimates of the 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, adjustments to these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business and generally have been less than 1% of revenues. Product-specific rebates, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product revenue growth trends.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $5.4increased $3.2 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2023 and $10.5 billion in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to:
a non-cash charge of $5.6 billion recorded in the third quarter of 2023 for inventory write-offs and related charges ($4.7 billion for Paxlovid and $0.9 billion for Comirnaty); and
$209 million in inventory losses, overhead costs related to the period in which the facility could not operate, and incremental costs resulting from tornado damage to our manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, NC,
partially offset by:
a reduction of $4.3$2.6 billion in the second quarter and $9.8 billion in the first six months due to lower sales of Comirnaty and, to a much lesser extent, by lower write-offs of approximately $300 million in the second quarter and $240 million in the first six months for Comirnaty inventory that exceeded or was expected to exceed its approved shelf-life prior to being used;Comirnaty; and
a reduction of $1.0 billion in the second quarter and $630$405 million in the first six months due to lower sales of Paxlovid.
Cost of sales decreased $7.3 billion in the first nine months of 2023, mainly due to:
a reduction of $12.7 billion due to lower sales of Comirnaty; and
a reduction of $1.2 billion due to lower sales of Paxlovid,
partially offset by:
a non-cash charge of $5.8 billion for inventory write-offs and related charges ($4.8 billion for Paxlovid and $1.0 billion for Comirnaty); and

The decreaseincrease in Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the secondthird quarter and in the first sixnine months of 2023 was mainly driven by favorable changes in sales mix, including lower salesthe non-cash charge of Comirnaty, and$5.6 billion discussed above, partially offset to a much lesser extent by lower write-offs for Comirnaty discussed above, partially offset by lowerfavorable changes in sales of Paxlovid.mix.
Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses
Selling, informational and administrative expenses increased $448decreased $109 million in the secondthird quarter of 2023, primarily due to:

a $140 million decrease in spending on products across multiple customer groups,
partially offset by:
an increase of $320 million for marketing and promotional expenses for recently acquired and launched products.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses decreased $167increased $14 million in the secondthird quarter of 2023, primarily due to:
lower spending of $190 million on programs to prevent and treat COVID-19; and
a decrease of $100 million in the value of the portfolio performance share grants reflecting the decrease in the price of Pfizer’s common stock,
partially offset by:
increased investments of $130$280 million, mainly to develop recently acquired assets, and certain vaccine programs, as well as activities to support upcoming product launches.
Research and development expenses increased $37 million in the first six months of 2023,primarily driven by:

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired in-process research and development expenses decreased $301$457 million in the third quarter of 2023 and decreased $759 million in the first sixnine months of 2023, primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of an upfront payment of $426 million related to the closing of the acquisition of ReViral Ltd. in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease for the first nine months of 2023 also reflects the non-recurrence of (i) an upfront payment to Biohaven and a premium paid on our equity investment in Biohaven totaling $263 million and (ii) a $76 million premium paid on our equity investment in BioNTech to develop a potential mRNA vaccine against shingles, both recorded in the first quarter of 2022.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased $362$357 million in the secondthird quarter of 2023 and $630$987 million in the first sixnine months of 2023, primarily as a result of amortization of intangible assets from our acquisitions of Biohaven and GBT, as well as higher amortization of intangible assets related to Prevnar, partially offset by fully amortized assets.
Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
Transforming to a More Focused Company Program––For a description of our program, as well as the anticipated and actual costs, see Note 3A. The program savings discussed below may be rounded and represent approximations. In connection with restructuring our corporate enabling functions, we achieved gross cost savings of $1.0 billion, or net cost savings, excluding
46


merit and inflation growth and certain real estate cost increases, of $700 million, in the two year period from 2021 through 2022. In connection with transforming our commercial go-to market strategy, we expect net cost savings of $1.4 billion, to be achieved primarily from 2022 through 2024. In connection with manufacturing network optimization, we expect net cost savings of $550 million to be achieved primarily from 2020 through 2023. In connection with optimizing our end-to-end R&D operations, we expect net cost savings of $2.3 billion to be achieved primarily from 2023 through 2025.
Certain qualifying costs for this program in all periods since inception were recorded and reflected as Certain Significant Items and excluded from our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income.Income/(Loss). See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted IncomeIncome/(Loss) section within MD&A.
In addition to this program, we continuously monitor our operations for cost reductioncost-reduction and/or productivity opportunities, especially in light of the losses of exclusivity and the expiration of collaborative arrangements for various products. In October 2023, we announced that we launched a multi-year, enterprise-wide cost realignment program that aims to realign our costs with our longer-term revenue expectations. See the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Business and Strategysection within MD&A.

U.S.––In April 2023, in orderBeginning with the original monovalent Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, initially authorized for emergency use, to simplify the vaccination schedule for most individuals,Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA, 2023-2024 Formula), approved by the FDA amended an EUA for individuals 12 years and older and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2023-2024 Formula) authorized by the FDA for emergency use for individuals 6 months through 11 years of age, efforts to stay current with circulating COVID-19 strains have resulted in the Pfizer‑BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalentrapid development of targeted, adapted vaccines for licensure in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other markets. The adapted vaccines have included two bivalent formulations (Original and Omicron BA.1, not authorized in the U.S., and Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5), which has been developed. As updated COVID-19 vaccines are formulated to more closely target currently circulating vaccines, prior vaccine formulations are generally no longer utilized in collaboration with BioNTech, for active immunizationa majority of the markets.
The 2023-2024 Formula includes a monovalent (single) component that corresponds to prevent COVID-19 caused bythe Omicron sub-variant XBB.1.5 of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 6 months of age and older. In. The table below summarizes the U.S., the original monovalent Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is no longer authorized for emergency use or CDC-recommended, although Comirnaty remains a licensed vaccine. This decision relates entirely to the FDA’s strategy to harmonize COVID-19 vaccines and is not indicative of any safety-related signals or concerns.

(a)Most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(b)The 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 versus three budgeted metrics, one of which is Adjusted diluted EPS (as defined for annual incentive compensation purposes), which is derived from Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) and accounts for 40% of the bonus pool funding tied to financial performance. Additionally, the payout for performance share awards is determined in part by Adjusted net income,income/(loss), which is derived from Adjusted income.income/(loss). Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we no longer exclude any expenses for acquired IPR&D from our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we continue to exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for annual incentive compensation purposes. The bonus pool funding, which is largely based on financial performance, is adjusted by our R&D pipeline performance, as measured by four metrics, and performance against certain of our ESG metrics, and may be further modified by our Compensation Committee’s assessment of other factors.
Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) and its components and Adjusted diluted EPSEPS/(LPS) are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net incomeincome/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net incomeincome/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPSEPS/(LPS) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively.
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 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 traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.
Adjusted IncomeIncome/(Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPSEPS/(LPS)
Amortization of Intangible Assets—Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) excludes all amortization of intangible assets.
Acquisition-Related Items—Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) excludes certain acquisition-related items, which are comprisedcomposed of transaction, integration, restructuring charges and additional depreciation costs for business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate businesses as a result of an acquisition. We have made no adjustments for resulting synergies. Acquisition-related items may include purchase accounting impacts such as the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes for contingent consideration.
Discontinued Operations—Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) excludes the results of 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 product portfolio 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
53


Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) measure for the compensation in respect of the restated periods, but are presented for consistency across all periods.
52


Certain Significant Items—Adjusted incomeincome/(loss) excludes certain significant items representing substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated individually on a quantitative and qualitative 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 are specific to an event or goal with a defined term, we may have subsequent programs based on reorganizations of the business, cost productivity or in response to LOE 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, or legal matters related to divested products or businesses. Gains and losses on equity securities and pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses have a very high degree of inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty, and because we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business. Unusual items 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. See the Reconciliations of GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted information—Certain Line Items below for a non-inclusive list of certain significant items and the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section within MD&A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MARKET RISK
Our historically robust operating cash flows, which we expect to continue, is a key strength of our liquidity and capital resources and our primary funding source. We believe as a result of this, together with our financial assets, access to capital markets, revolving credit agreements, and available lines of credit, we have and will maintain the ability to meet our liquidity needs to support ongoing operations, our capital allocation objectives, and our contractual and other obligations for the foreseeable future. For information about the sources and uses of our funds and capital resources, as well as our operating cash flows, see our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity, and the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows section within MD&A. For information on our money market funds, available-for sale-debt securities and long-term debt, see Note 7.
For information about our diverse sources of funds, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual and other obligations, global economic conditions, market risk and LIBOR, see the Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, Capital Resources and Market Risk section within MD&A inof our 2022 Form 10-K. For more information on guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 12B.
Debt Issuance––In May 2023, we completed a public offering of $31 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes as part of the financing for our proposed acquisition of Seagen. The net proceeds have been invested in short-term investments in a combination of money market funds and available-for-sale debt securities until the completion of the proposed acquisition. See Notes 7A and 7D.
Credit Ratings––The cost and availability of financing are influenced by credit ratings, and an increase or decrease in our credit rating could have a beneficial or adverse effect on financing. Our long-term debt is rated high-quality by both S&P and Moody’s. In March 2023, following the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Seagen, Moody’s changed theits outlook on our long-term debt to Negative; S&P downgraded our short-term rating from A-1+ to A-1. In October 2023, following the announcement of the amended Paxlovid supply agreement with the U.S. government and updated 2023 guidance, S&P changed its outlook on our long-term debt to Negative.
As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the ratings assigned to our commercial paper and senior unsecured long-term debt:
NAME OF RATING AGENCYPfizer Short-Term RatingPfizer Long-Term RatingOutlook/Watch
Moody’sP-1A1Negative Outlook
S&PA-1A+StableNegative Outlook
These ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organizations. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit––As of July 2, 2023,the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, we had access to a $7total of $15 billion in committed U.S. revolving credit facilities, consisting of an $8.0 billion facility maturing in November 2024 and a $7 billion facility maturing in November 2028, which may be used for general corporate purposes including to support our global commercial paper borrowings. Lenders under this facility have approximately $700 million of commitments maturing in November 2026 and $6.3 billion of commitments maturing in November 2027. In addition to the U.S. revolving credit facility,facilities, our lenders have provided us an additional $304$298 million in lines of credit, of which $274$268 million expire within one year. Essentially all lines of credit were unused as of July 2, 2023.the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
5557


Capital Allocation Framework––Our capital allocation framework is primarily devised to facilitate the achievement of medical breakthroughs through R&D investments and business development activities and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. We expect to finance the proposed acquisition of Seagen substantially through $31 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2023, and the balance from a combination of short-term financing and existing cash. See Note 1A and the Item 1A. Risk Factors section for additional information about our proposed acquisition of Seagen. In April 2023, our BOD declared a dividend of $0.41 per share, paid on June 9, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2023. In JuneOn October 4, 2023, our BOD declared a dividend of $0.41 per share, payable on September 5,December 4, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 28,November 10, 2023. At July 2,October 1, 2023, our remaining share-purchase authorization was $3.3 billion, with no repurchases in the first sixnine months of 2023. See Note 12 in our 2022 Form 10-K for more information on our publicly announced share-purchase plans.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See Note 1B.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard, Not Adopted as of July 2,October 1, 2023
Standard/DescriptionEffective DateEffect on the
Financial Statements
In June 2022, the FASB issued final guidance to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered when measuring fair value. Recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account is not permitted.
January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.We are assessing the impact, but currently do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 12A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We refer to the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook—Our Operating Environment and —The Global Economic Environment sections and the Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results section within MD&A of this Form 10-Q and of our 2022 Form 10-K and to the Item 1A. Risk Factors section of our 2022 Form 10-K. We are including the following risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in the Item 1A. Risk Factors section of our 2022 Form 10-K.
PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF SEAGEN
We may be unable to complete the acquisition of Seagen within the anticipated timeframe or at all, which could prevent us from receiving the anticipated benefits from the acquisition in the anticipated timeframe or at all.
On March 12, 2023, we entered into a merger agreement with Seagen. The transaction is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024, and remains subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. As a result, there is no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated in the anticipated timeframe or at all. In addition, Pfizer may be required to pay Seagen a reverse termination fee of approximately $2.22 billion, subject to certain limitations set forth in the merger agreement, if the merger agreement is terminated by either party as a result of certain antitrust and/or foreign direct investment law-related conditions. Any failure to consummate the acquisition in the anticipated timeframe or at all could prevent Pfizer from receiving the expected benefits from the acquisition. See the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook—Our Business Development InitiativesNote 1 and the Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results sectionssection within MD&A.
We have expended and will continue to expend significant time and resources in connection with the acquisition of Seagen and have incurred substantial indebtedness to fund the acquisition.
Pfizer has expended and will continue to expend significant management time and resources and expenses related to the acquisition of Seagen, many of which must be paid regardless of whether the acquisition is consummated. For example, such time, resources and expenses are being and will continue to be incurred in connection with seeking regulatory approvals for the transaction. We intend to finance a portion of the transaction with the proceeds from the $31 billion of long-term debt issued in May 2023, plus additional short-term indebtedness to be issued prior to the acquisition, which indebtedness may limit our operating or financial flexibility relative to our current position.
We may not be successful in identifying and executing potential business development transactions, such as our acquisition of Seagen, or realizing the financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of any historical or potential business development transaction, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to meet our growth objectives.
We have established significant growth goals, which we plan to achieve, in part, by accelerating revenue growth by not only advancing our own product pipelines and maximizing the value of our existing products, but also through various forms of business development activities, which can include alliances, licenses, JVs, collaborations, equity- or debt-based investments, dispositions, divestments, mergers and acquisitions. Our proposed acquisition of Seagen is part of that accelerated revenue growth plan. We view our business development activity as an enabler of our strategies and seek to generate growth by pursuing opportunities and transactions that have the potential to strengthen our business and our capabilities. The success of our business development activities is dependent on the availability and accurate evaluation of appropriate opportunities, competition from others that are seeking similar opportunities and our ability to successfully identify, structure and execute transactions, including the ability to satisfy or waive closing conditions in the anticipated timeframes, or at all, and our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and develop and commercialize acquired products. Pursuing, executing and consummating these transactions may require substantial investment, which may require us to obtain additional equity or debt
62


financing, which could result in increased leverage and/or a downgrade of our credit ratings or limit our operating or financial flexibility relative to our current position. The success of our business development transactions depends on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of these transactions and is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are
60


outside of our control, including the possibility that the expected benefits from such transactions will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period. Unsuccessful clinical trials, regulatory hurdles and commercialization challenges may adversely impact revenue and income contribution from acquired products and businesses. We may fail to generate expected revenue growth for our existing products, product pipeline and acquired products or businesses or we may fail to achieve anticipated cost savings, such as those expected with respect to Seagen, within expected time frames or at all, which may impact our ability to meet our growth objectives. In certain transactions, we may agree to provide certain transition services for an extended period of time, which may divert our focus and resources that would otherwise be invested into maintaining or growing our business. Similarly, the accretive impact anticipated from transactions may not be realized or may be delayed. Integration of these products or businesses may result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing business, including third-party relationships, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Further, while we seek to mitigate risks and liabilities through, among other things, due diligence, we may be exposed to risks and liabilities as a result of business development transactions. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire attractive businesses or enter into strategic business relationships on favorable terms ahead of our competitors, or that such acquisitions or strategic business development relationships will be accretive to earnings or improve our competitive position.
