Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) can be condensed or omitted.

Balance sheet amounts and operating results for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. are as of and for the three months ended February 24, 2013, and February 26, 2012.

On February 6, 2013, an initial public offering (IPO) of the Class A common stock of our subsidiary, Zoetis Inc. (Zoetis), was completed, pursuant to which we sold 99.015 million shares of Class A common stock of Zoetis, which represented approximately 19.8% of the total outstanding Zoetis shares. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

On November 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our Nutrition business to Nestlé. The operating results of this business are reported as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 1, 2012. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

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.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

B. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting and disclosure standards adopted as of January 1, 2013.

C. Fair Value

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 inputs).
Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Note 2. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment

A. Acquisitions

NextWave Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In the first quarter of 2013, we finalized the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition of NextWave Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NextWave), completed on November 27, 2012. The total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $442 million, and we recorded approximately $519 million in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $474 million in Developed technology rights and $45 million in In-process research and development; $166 million in net deferred tax liabilities; and $89 million in Goodwill.

Alacer Corp.

On February 26, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Alacer Corp., a company that manufactures, markets and distributes Emergen-C, a line of effervescent, powdered drink mix vitamin supplements that is the largest-selling branded vitamin C line in the U.S. In connection with this Consumer Healthcare acquisition, we recorded $181 million in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting primarily of the Emergen-C indefinite-lived brand; $69 million in net deferred tax liabilities; and $192 million in Goodwill. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been finalized.

Ferrosan Holding A/S

On December 1, 2011, we completed our acquisition of the consumer healthcare business of Ferrosan Holding A/S (Ferrosan), a Danish company engaged in the sale of science-based consumer healthcare products, including dietary supplements and lifestyle products, primarily in the Nordic region and the emerging markets of Russia and Central and Eastern Europe. This acquisition is reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2012. Our acquisition of Ferrosan’s consumer healthcare business increases our presence in dietary supplements with a new set of brands and pipeline products. Also, we believe that the acquisition allows us to expand the marketing of Ferrosan’s brands through Pfizer’s global footprint and provide greater distribution and scale for certain Pfizer brands, such as Centrum and Caltrate, in Ferrosan’s key markets. In connection with this Consumer Healthcare acquisition, we recorded $362 million in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of indefinite-lived and finite-lived brands; $94 million in net deferred tax liabilities; and $322 million in Goodwill. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been finalized.

B. Divestitures

Formation of Zoetis and IPO

On January 28, 2013, our then wholly owned subsidiary, Zoetis, issued $3.65 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, net of an original issue debt discount of $10 million. For additional information, see Note 7D. Financial Instruments: Long-Term Debt. Also, on January 28, 2013, we transferred to Zoetis substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our Animal Health business in exchange for all of the Class A and Class B common stock of Zoetis, $1.0 billion of the $3.65 billion of Zoetis senior notes, and an amount of cash equal to substantially all of the cash proceeds received by Zoetis from the remaining $2.65 billion of senior notes issued. The $1.0 billion of Zoetis senior notes received by Pfizer were exchanged by Pfizer for the retirement of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2012, and the cash proceeds received by Pfizer of approximately $2.5 billion were restricted to use for debt repayment, dividends and/or stock buybacks.

On February 6, 2013, an IPO of the Class A common stock of Zoetis was completed, pursuant to which we sold 99.015 million shares of Class A common stock of Zoetis (all of the Class A common stock, including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' overallotment option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full) in exchange for the retirement of approximately $2.5 billion of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2013. The Class A common stock sold in the IPO represented approximately 19.8% of the total outstanding Zoetis shares. On February 1, 2013, Zoetis shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ZTS.” The excess of the consideration received over the net book value of our divested interest was approximately $2.3 billion and was recorded in Additional paid-in capital. For additional information, see Note 6. Certain Changes in Total Equity.

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

In summary, as a result of the above transactions, we received approximately $6.1 billion of cash (of which approximately $2.5 billion was restricted to use for debt repayment, dividends and/or stock buybacks), and incurred approximately $3.65 billion in Zoetis long-term debt.

We continue to consolidate Zoetis, as we retain control over Zoetis. Effective February 7, 2013, the earnings attributable to the divested interest (the Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests) are excluded from Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc., Earnings per common share––basic and Earnings per common share––diluted in the condensed consolidated statement of income. As of March 31, 2013, the noncontrolling interests associated with Zoetis are reflected in Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For additional information, see Note 6. Certain Changes in Total Equity.

Nutrition Business

On November 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our Nutrition business to Nestlé for $11.85 billion in cash, and recognized a gain of approximately $4.8 billion, net of tax. The divested business includes:
our former Nutrition operating segment and certain prenatal vitamins previously commercialized by the Pfizer Consumer Healthcare operating segment; and
other associated amounts, such as direct manufacturing costs, enabling support functions and other costs not charged to the business, purchase-accounting impacts, acquisition-related costs, impairment charges, restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, all of which are reported outside our operating segment results.

The operating results of this business are classified as Discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 1, 2012.

The following table provides the components of Discontinued operations—net of tax, virtually all of which relate to our former Nutrition business:

C. Collaborative Arrangement

Collaboration for ertugliflozin

On April 29, 2013, we announced that we had entered into a worldwide, except Japan, collaboration agreement with Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) for the development and commercialization of Pfizer's ertugliflozin (PF-04971729), an investigational oral sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Under the terms of the agreement, we will collaborate with Merck on the clinical development and commercialization of ertugliflozin, and ertugliflozin-containing fixed-dose combinations with metformin and Januvia (sitagliptin) tablets. Merck will continue to retain the rights to its existing portfolio of sitagliptin-containing products. In 2013, we received payments totaling $60 million and we will be eligible for additional payments associated with the achievement of future clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. The payments received to date have been deferred and will be recognized in Other deductions––net over a multi-year period. We will share potential revenues and certain costs with Merck on a 60%/40% basis, with Pfizer having the 40%

share. Each party has the right to terminate the agreement at certain times under certain circumstances, with various resulting rights and obligations depending on the nature of the termination. In addition, Merck has the right to terminate the agreement at any time up to the commencement of the first Phase III clinical trial.

On September 6, 2012, we and Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a leading pharmaceutical company in China, formed a new company, Hisun Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Company Limited (Hisun Pfizer), to develop, manufacture, market and sell pharmaceutical products, primarily branded generic products, predominately in China. Hisun Pfizer was established with registered capital of $250 million, of which our portion was $122.5 million. On January 1, 2013, both parties transferred selected employees to Hisun Pfizer and contributed, among other things, certain rights to commercialized products and products in development, intellectual property rights, and facilities, equipment and distribution/customer contracts. Our contributions in 2013 constituted a business, as defined by U.S. GAAP, and included, among other things, the China rights to certain commercialized products and other products not yet commercialized and all associated intellectual property rights. As a result of the contributions from both parties, Hisun Pfizer holds a broad portfolio of branded generics covering cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, oncology, mental health, and other therapeutic areas. We hold a 49% equity interest in Hisun Pfizer.

We also entered into certain transition agreements designed to ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of the business operations to Hisun Pfizer, primarily the Pfizer Products Transition Period Agreement and a related supply and promotional services agreement. These agreements provide for a profit margin on the manufacturing services provided by Pfizer to Hisun Pfizer and govern the supply, promotion and distribution of Pfizer products until Hisun Pfizer begins its own manufacturing and distribution. While intended to be transitional, these agreements may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties for several years and, possibly, indefinitely. These agreements are not material to Pfizer, and none confers upon us any additional ability to influence the operating and/or financial policies of Hisun Pfizer.

In connection with our contributions in the first quarter of 2013, we recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $490 million in Other deductions––net, reflecting the transfer of the business to Hisun Pfizer (including an allocation of goodwill from our Emerging Markets reporting unit as part of the carrying amount of the business transferred). Since we hold a 49% interest in Hisun Pfizer, we have an indirect retained interest in the contributed assets; as such, 49% of the gain, or $240 million, represents the portion of the gain associated with that indirect retained interest.

In valuing our investment in Hisun Pfizer (which includes the indirect retained interest in the contributed assets), we used discounted cash flow techniques, utilizing a 11.5% discount rate, reflecting our best estimate of the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, and a nominal terminal year growth factor. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which include the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the products; the long-term growth rate, which seeks to project the sustainable growth rate over the long-term; and the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, including country risk.

We are accounting for our interest in Hisun Pfizer as an equity-method investment, due to the significant influence we have over the operations of Hisun Pfizer through our board representation, minority veto rights and 49% voting interest. Our investment in Hisun Pfizer is reported as a private equity investment in Long-term investments, and our share of Hisun Pfizer's income and expenses is recorded in Other deductions––net. As of March 31, 2013, the carrying value of our investment in Hisun Pfizer is approximately $1.3 billion, and the amount of our underlying equity in the net assets of Hisun Pfizer is approximately $686 million. The excess of the carrying value of our investment over our underlying equity in the net assets of Hisun Pfizer has been allocated, within the investment account, to goodwill and other intangible assets. The other intangible assets are being amortized into Other deductions––net over an average useful life of 25 years.

Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives

We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example:

10

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

In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and
In connection with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems.

All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and research and development, as well as groups such as information technology, shared services and corporate operations. Since the acquisition of Wyeth on October 15, 2009, our cost-reduction initiatives announced on January 26, 2009, but not completed as of December 31, 2009, were incorporated into a comprehensive plan to integrate Wyeth’s operations to generate cost savings and to capture synergies across the combined company. In addition, among our ongoing cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, on February 1, 2011, we announced a new productivity initiative to accelerate our strategies to improve innovation and productivity in R&D by prioritizing areas that we believe have the greatest scientific and commercial promise, utilizing appropriate risk/return profiles and focusing on areas with the highest potential to deliver value in the near term and over time.

The following table provides the components of costs associated with acquisitions and cost-reduction/productivity initiatives:

(b) 
From the beginning of our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives in 2005 through March 31, 2013, Employee termination costs represent the expected reduction of the workforce by approximately 62,000 employees, mainly in manufacturing and sales and research, of which approximately 54,000 employees have been terminated as of March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the credit to employee terminations reflects a change in estimate related to the number of employees to be terminated and the expected total cost of planned terminations.
The restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are associated with the following:
Primary Care operating segment ($5 million income), Specialty Care and Oncology operating segment ($6 million), Established Products and Emerging Markets operating segment ($11 million), other operating segments ($2 million), research and development operations ($2 million), manufacturing operations ($4 million) and Corporate ($79 million).
The restructuring charges for the three months ended April 1, 2012 are associated with the following:
Primary Care operating segment ($3 million), Specialty Care and Oncology operating segment ($3 million), Established Products and Emerging Markets operating segment ($3 million), other operating segments ($6 million), research and development operations ($12 million), manufacturing operations ($152 million) and Corporate ($318 million).
(c) 
Additional depreciation––asset restructuring represents the impact of changes in the estimated useful lives of assets involved in restructuring actions.

(a) 
Interest income increased in the first quarter of 2013 due to higher cash equivalents and investment balances. Interest expense was virtually unchanged in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 as the impact of the Zoetis debt issuance on January 28, 2013 was offset by otherwise lower debt balances.
(b) 
Represents the gain associated with the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China. For additional information, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.
(c) 
In the first quarter of 2013, primarily includes an $80 million insurance recovery related to a certain litigation matter. In the first quarter of 2012, primarily relates to a $450 million charge in connection with an agreement-in-principle to settle a lawsuit by Brigham Young University related to Celebrex (which was ultimately settled for that amount), and charges for hormone-replacement therapy litigation. For additional information, see Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies.
(d) 
In the first quarter of 2013, includes intangible asset impairment charges of $395 million, of which $394 million relates to developed technology, for use in the development of bone and cartilage, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Wyeth. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2013 reflect, among other things, updated commercial forecasts. The impairment charges for the first quarter of 2013 are associated with the following: Specialty Care ($394 million) and Animal Health (Zoetis) ($1 million).

In the first quarter of 2012, includes intangible asset impairment charges of approximately $395 million, reflecting (i) $297 million of in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets that targeted autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, (ii) $45 million related to our Consumer Healthcare indefinite-lived brand, Robitussin, and (ii) $53 million of developed technology rights comprising the impairment of two assets. Substantially all of these impairment charges relate to intangible assets that were acquired as part of our acquisition of Wyeth. The intangible asset impairment charges reflect, among other things, the impact of new scientific findings for IPR&D and an increased competitive environment for Robitussin. The impairment charges for the first quarter of 2012 are associated with the following: Specialty Care ($316 million); Consumer Healthcare ($45 million); and Primary Care ($34 million).
(e) 
Costs incurred in connection with the IPO of an approximate 19.8% ownership interest in Zoetis. Includes expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and similar services. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

The asset impairment charges included in Other deductions––net for the first quarter of 2013 primarily relate to identifiable intangible assets and are based on estimates of fair value.

(a) 
The fair value amount is presented as of the date of impairment, as this asset is not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See also Note 1C. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Fair Value.
(b) 
Reflects an intangible asset written down to its fair value of $564 million in the first quarter of 2013. Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then we applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows.

Note 5. Tax Matters

A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 29.6% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 29.2% for the first quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was unfavorably impacted by the non-deductibility of the goodwill derecognized and the jurisdictional mix of the other intangible assets divested as part of the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China, largely offset by the change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business, as well as the extension of the U.S. R&D tax credit which was signed into law in January 2013, resulting in the full-year benefit of the 2012 R&D tax credit and a portion of the 2013 R&D tax credit being recorded in the first quarter of 2013. For additional information about the transfer of certain product rights, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.

B. Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire. We treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution.

The United States is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
With respect to Pfizer Inc., tax years 2009 and 2010 are currently under audit. Tax years 2011-2013 are not under audit. All other tax years are closed.
With respect to Wyeth, tax years 2006 through the Wyeth acquisition date (October 15, 2009) are currently under audit. All other tax years are closed.
With respect to King, tax years 2009 and 2010 are currently under audit. Tax year January 1, 2011 through the date of acquisition (January 31, 2011) is open, but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. The open tax years and audits for King and its subsidiaries are not material to Pfizer Inc.

In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (2001-2013), Japan (2007-2013), Europe (2007-2013, primarily reflecting Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Germany), Latin America (1998-2013, primarily reflecting Brazil and Mexico) and Puerto Rico (2007-2013).

Note 6. Certain Changes in Total Equity

The change in Additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of 2013 reflects, among other things, the impact of share-based payment transactions and an increase of approximately $2.3 billion related to the divestment of a 19.8% interest in Zoetis, our Animal Health subsidiary. The increase represents the excess of the consideration received over the book value of our divested interest, which was recorded in Additional paid-in capital as we retained control over Zoetis. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

The change in Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2013 primarily reflects the addition of the noncontrolling interest associated with Zoetis. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

(a) 
We use a market approach in valuing financial instruments on a recurring basis. For additional information, see Note 1C. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Fair Value. All of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use Level 2 inputs in the calculation of fair value, except less than 1% that use Level 1 or Level 3 inputs.
(b) 
Trading securities are held in trust for legacy business acquisition severance benefits.
(c) 
Gross unrealized gains and losses are not significant.
(d) 
Includes $422 million as of March 31, 2013 and $408 million as of December 31, 2012 of money market funds held in trust in connection with the asbestos litigation involving Quigley Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary.
(e) 
Designated as hedging instruments, except for certain contracts used as offsets; namely, foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $155 million as of March 31, 2013; and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $102 million as of December 31, 2012.
(f) 
The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of held-to-maturity debt securities, private equity securities at cost and short-term borrowings not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were not significant as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The fair value measurements of our held-to-maturity debt securities and our short-term borrowings are based on Level 2 inputs, using a market approach. The fair value measurements of our private equity securities at cost are based on Level 3 inputs, using a market approach.
(g) 
Our private equity securities represent investments in the life sciences sector. The increase in 2013 primarily reflects an increased investment in our equity-method investment in China. For additional information, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.

In addition, we have long-term receivables where the determination of fair value employs discounted future cash flows, using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of these receivables were not significant as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

There were no significant impairments of financial assets recognized in any period presented.

C. Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include amounts for commercial paper of $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Additionally, on February 6, 2013, Zoetis entered into a commercial paper program with a capacity of up to $1.0 billion; no amounts are currently outstanding under that program.

D. Long-Term Debt

On January 28, 2013, our then wholly owned subsidiary, Zoetis, issued $3.65 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, net of an original issue debt discount of $10 million. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.

In the first quarter of 2013, we also reclassified approximately $2.5 billion of long-term debt into Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

(b) 
The indenture that governs the Zoetis senior notes contains covenants, including limitations on the ability of Zoetis and certain Zoetis subsidiaries to incur liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions. The indenture also contains restrictions on Zoetis' ability to consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of its assets. In addition, the indenture contains other customary terms, including certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which, the Zoetis senior notes may be declared immediately due and payable. Zoetis is able to redeem the Zoetis senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time by paying a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Except under limited circumstances, Zoetis will not be permitted to redeem the 2023 notes pursuant to this optional redemption provision. Upon the occurrence of a change of control of Zoetis and a downgrade of the senior notes below an investment grade rating by each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Zoetis is, in certain circumstances, required to make an offer to purchase each of the Zoetis senior notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Zoetis senior notes together with accrued and unpaid interest.

E. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Exchange Risk

As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments hedging or offsetting foreign currency exposures is $42.4 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, U.K. pound, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging future foreign exchange cash flow relates to our $2.3 billion U.K. pound debt maturing in 2038.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate derivative financial instruments is $11.7 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar and euro fixed-rate debt.

For information about the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, and the impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, see Note 7A. Financial Instruments: Selected Financial Assets and Liabilities above. Certain of our derivative instruments are covered by associated credit-support agreements that have credit-risk-related contingent features designed to reduce our counterparties’ exposure to our risk of defaulting on amounts owed. As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of these derivative instruments that are in a net liability position is $178 million, for which we have posted collateral of $105 million in the normal course of business. These features include the requirement to pay additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in our debt ratings. If there had been a downgrade to below an A rating by S&P or the equivalent rating by Moody’s Investors Service, on March 31, 2013, we would have been required to post an additional $73 million of collateral to our counterparties. The collateral advanced receivables are reported in Cash and cash equivalents.

F. Credit Risk

On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to our foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk related to our financial instruments with any individual counterparty. As of March 31, 2013, we had $2.9 billion due from a well-diversified, highly rated group (S&P ratings of mostly A+ or better) of bank counterparties around the world. For details about our investments, see Note 7B. Financial Instruments: Investments in Debt Securities.

PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. However, derivative financial instruments are executed under master netting agreements with financial institutions. These agreements contain provisions that provide for the ability for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure, our credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty. As of March 31, 2013, we received cash collateral of $729 million against various counterparties. The collateral primarily supports the approximate fair value of our derivative contracts. With respect to the collateral received, which is included in Cash and cash equivalents, the obligations are reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

(a) 
The decrease is primarily related to amortization, an asset impairment charge and the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China. For additional information about the asset impairment charge, see Note 4. Other DeductionsNet. For additional information about the transfer of certain product rights, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.

As of March 31, 2013, our identifiable intangible assets are associated with the following, as a percentage of total identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization:
Developed Technology Rights: Specialty Care (66%); Established Products (19%); Primary Care (13%); Animal Health (Zoetis) (1%); and Oncology (1%);
Brands, finite-lived: Consumer Healthcare (64%); Established Products (24%); and Animal Health (Zoetis) (12%);
Brands, indefinite-lived: Consumer Healthcare (68%); and Established Products (31%); and Animal Health (Zoetis) (1%); and
IPR&D: Worldwide Research and Development (55%); Established Products (20%); Primary Care (12%); Specialty Care (11%); and Animal Health (Zoetis) (2%).

There are no percentages for our Emerging Markets business unit as it is a geographic-area unit, not a product-based unit. The carrying value of the assets associated with our Emerging Markets business unit is included within the assets associated with the other four biopharmaceutical business units.

Amortization

Amortization expense related to finite-lived acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property is included in Amortization of intangible assets as these intangible assets benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets that are associated with a single function is included in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses or Research and development expenses, as appropriate. Total amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2013 and $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012.

Impairment Charges

For information about impairments of intangible assets, see Note 4. Other Deductions––Net.

For IPR&D assets, the risk of failure is significant and there can be no certainty that these assets ultimately will yield a successful product. The nature of the biopharmaceutical business is high-risk and, as such, we expect that many of these IPR&D assets will become impaired and be written off at some time in the future.

(a) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended April 1, 2012, for our U.S. qualified plans was primarily driven by lower service cost resulting from the decision in 2012 to freeze the defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, lower settlement activity and greater expected return on plan assets resulting from a higher plan asset base. Also, the decrease in the discount rate resulted in lower interest costs, as well as an increase in the amounts amortized for actuarial losses.
(b) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended April 1, 2012, for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans was primarily driven by special termination benefits in 2012 and lower service cost resulting from the decision in 2012 to freeze the defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, partially offset by higher settlement activity.
(c) 
The increase in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended April 1, 2012, for our international pension plans was primarily driven by an increase in the amounts amortized for actuarial losses resulting from decreases in discount rates and the curtailment gain in our German plans in 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we contributed from our general assets: $92 million to our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans, $67 million to our international pension plans and $58 million to our postretirement plans. We did not make a contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans during the first quarter of 2013.

During 2013, we expect to contribute from our general assets a total of $161 million to our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans, $345 million to our international pension plans and $254 million to our postretirement plans. We do not expect to make contributions to our U.S. qualified pension plans during 2013. Contributions expected to be made for 2013 are inclusive of amounts contributed during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The international pension plan, postretirement plan and U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plan contributions from our general assets include direct employer benefit payments.

(a) 
Our 80.2%-owned Animal Health subsidiary, Zoetis, has issued securities, under its share-based compensations programs, that enable the holders to obtain Zoetis common stock under certain circumstances and, as such, those shares are included in computing Zoetis' earnings per share information on a standalone basis. The per-share earnings of Zoetis are included in our consolidated earnings per share calculations based on our proportionate share in Zoetis' common stock and common stock equivalents.

These common stock equivalents were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for those periods because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5B. Tax Matters: Tax Contingencies.

A. Legal Proceedings

Our non-tax contingencies include, among others, the following:
Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. We are the plaintiff in the vast majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, a significant loss of revenues from that drug and impairments of any associated assets.
Product liability and other product-related litigation, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities-law, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters.

25

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

Commercial and other matters, which can include merger-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, 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 countries. 
 
Certain of these contingencies could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, and/or criminal charges, which could be substantial.

We believe that our claims and defenses in these matters are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid.

We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of these 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 are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions.

Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in order to assess materiality, such as, among other things, the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought in the proceeding, if such damages and other relief are specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be a class action and our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; 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 about the Company 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, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent. As a result of considering qualitative factors in our determination of principal matters, there are some matters discussed below with respect to which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.

A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation
 
Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are involved in numerous suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to those discussed below. Most of the suits involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products, processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed claiming that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, our patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents on a number of our products that are discussed below, we note that the patent rights to certain of our products are being challenged in various other countries.

Viagra (sildenafil)
In March 2010, we brought a patent-infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva USA) and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva Pharmaceutical Industries), which had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of Viagra. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries subsequently was dismissed from this action. Teva USA asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of the Viagra use patent, which (including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period resulting from the Company’s conduct of clinical studies to evaluate Revatio in the treatment of pediatric patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension; Viagra and Revatio have the same active ingredient, sildenafil) expires in 2020. In August 2011, the court ruled that our Viagra use patent is valid and infringed, thereby preventing Teva USA from receiving FDA approval for a generic

(UNAUDITED)

version of Viagra and from marketing its generic product in the U.S. before 2020. In September 2011, Teva USA appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

In October 2010, we filed a patent-infringement action with respect to Viagra in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Mylan Inc., Actavis, Inc. and Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC. These generic manufacturers have filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market their generic versions of Viagra. They assert the invalidity and non-infringement of the Viagra use patent.

In May and June 2011, respectively, Watson Laboratories Inc. (Watson) and Hetero Labs Limited (Hetero) notified us that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market their generic versions of Viagra. Each asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of the Viagra use patent. In June and July 2011, respectively, we filed actions against Watson and Hetero in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting the validity and infringement of the use patent.

Sutent (sunitinib malate)
In May 2010, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Sutent and challenging on various grounds the Sutent basic patent, which expires in 2021, and two other patents, which expire in 2020 and 2021. In June 2010, we filed suit against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement of those three patents.

Lyrica (pregabalin)
Beginning in March 2009, several generic manufacturers notified us that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Lyrica capsules and, in the case of one generic manufacturer, Lyrica oral solution. Each of the generic manufacturers is challenging one or more of three patents for Lyrica: the basic patent, which expires in 2018, and two other patents, which expire in 2013 and 2018. Each of the generic manufacturers asserts the invalidity and/or the non-infringement of the patents subject to challenge. Beginning in April 2009, we filed actions against these generic manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of our patents for Lyrica. All of these cases were consolidated in the District of Delaware. In July 2012, the court held that all three patents are valid and infringed, thereby preventing the generic manufacturers from obtaining final FDA approval for their generic versions of Lyrica and from marketing those products in the U.S. prior to the expiration of the three patents. In August 2012, the generic manufacturers appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Apotex Inc. notified us, in May and June 2011, respectively, that it had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Lyrica oral solution and Lyrica capsules. Apotex Inc. asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of the basic patent, as well as the seizure patent that expires in 2013. In July 2011, we filed an action against Apotex Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the challenged patents in connection with both of the abbreviated new drug applications.

In November 2010, Novel Laboratories, Inc. (Novel) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Lyrica oral solution and asserting the invalidity and/or non-infringement of our three patents for Lyrica referred to above in the first paragraph of this section. In January 2011, we filed an action against Novel in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of all three patents.

In October 2011, Alembic Pharmaceuticals Limited (Alembic) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Lyrica capsules and asserting the invalidity of the basic patent. In addition, in December 2012, Wockhardt Limited (Wockhardt) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Lyrica oral solution and asserting the invalidity and non-infringement of the basic patent. In December 2011 and January 2013, we filed actions against Alembic and Wockhardt, respectively, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the basic patent.

Each of Novel, Alembic and Wockhardt has agreed to a stay of the respective actions described above and to be bound by the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal District in the appeal of the judgment of the District of Delaware in the consolidated action discussed above in the first paragraph of this section.

Protonix (pantoprazole sodium)
Wyeth has a license to market Protonix in the U.S. from Nycomed GmbH (Nycomed), which owns the patents relating to Protonix. The basic patent (including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period) for Protonix expired in January 2011.
 
Following their respective filings of abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA, Teva USA and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Sun Pharmaceutical Advanced Research Centre Ltd. and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (collectively, Sun) and KUDCO Ireland, Ltd. (KUDCO Ireland) received final FDA approval to market their generic versions of Protonix 20mg and 40mg delayed-release tablets. Wyeth and Nycomed filed actions against those generic manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, which subsequently were consolidated into a single proceeding, alleging infringement of the basic patent and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. Following the court's denial of a preliminary injunction sought by Wyeth and Nycomed, Teva USA and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Sun launched their generic versions of Protonix tablets at risk in December 2007 and January 2008, respectively. Wyeth launched its own generic version of Protonix tablets in January 2008, and Wyeth and Nycomed filed amended complaints in the pending patent-infringement action seeking compensation for damages resulting from Teva USA’s, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries’ and Sun's at-risk launches.
 
In April 2010, the jury in the pending patent-infringement action upheld the validity of the basic patent for Protonix. In July 2010, the court upheld the jury verdict, but it did not issue a judgment against Teva USA, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries or Sun because of their other claims relating to the patent that still are pending. Wyeth and Nycomed will continue to pursue all available legal remedies against those generic manufacturers, including compensation for damages resulting from their at-risk launches.
 
Separately, Wyeth and Nycomed are defendants in purported class actions brought by direct and indirect purchasers of Protonix in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Plaintiffs seek damages, on behalf of the respective putative classes, for the alleged violation of antitrust laws in connection with the procurement and enforcement of the patents for Protonix. These purported class actions have been stayed pending resolution of the underlying patent litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

EpiPen
King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) brought a patent-infringement action against Sandoz, Inc., a division of Novartis AG (Sandoz), in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in July 2010 as the result of its abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market an epinephrine injectable product. Sandoz is challenging patents, which expire in 2025, covering the next-generation autoinjector for use with epinephrine that is sold under the EpiPen brand name.
 
Embeda (morphine sulfate/naltrexone hydrochloride extended-release capsules)
In August 2011, Watson Laboratories Inc. - Florida (Watson Florida) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Embeda extended-release capsules. Watson Florida asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of three formulation patents that expire in 2027. In October 2011, we filed an action against Watson Florida in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement of, and defending against the allegations of the invalidity of, the three formulation patents.

Torisel (temsirolimus)
In December 2011, we brought patent-infringement actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Sandoz and Accord Healthcare, Inc. USA and certain of its affiliates (collectively, Accord) as a result of their abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Torisel before the expiration of the basic patent in 2014. In May 2012, we brought an action in the same court against Sandoz for infringement of a formulation patent that expires in 2026. In September 2012, our actions against Sandoz and Accord were consolidated in the District of Delaware.

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine)
Beginning in May 2012, several generic manufacturers notified us that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Pristiq. Each of the generic manufacturers asserts the invalidity, unenforceability and/or non-infringement of two patents for Pristiq that expire in 2022 and in 2027. Beginning in June 2012, we filed actions against these generic manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and, in certain instances, also in other jurisdictions asserting the validity, enforceability and infringement of those patents. The actions in the District of Delaware have been consolidated, and the consolidated action remains pending; the actions in other jurisdictions have been dismissed.

Zyvox (linezolid)
In February 2013, Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. notified us that they had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Zyvox. They assert invalidity of the basic Zyvox patent, which (including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period) expires in 2015. In March 2013, we filed an action against Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for infringement of the basic patent.

Detrol LA (tolterodine)
In February 2013, Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. notified us that they had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Detrol LA. They assert the invalidity and non-infringement of three Detrol LA formulation patents, which (including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period) expire in 2020. In March 2013, we filed an action against Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for infringement of two of the formulation patents.
In March 2013, Inventia Healthcare Private Limited (Inventia) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Detrol LA. Inventia asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of the three Detrol LA formulation patents referred to above. In April 2013, we filed an action against Inventia in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for infringement of two of the formulation patents.

Celebrex (celecoxib)
In March 2013, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted us a reissue patent covering methods of treating osteoarthritis and other approved conditions with celecoxib, the active ingredient in Celebrex. The reissue patent, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in December 2015. On the date that the reissue patent was granted, we filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, asserting the infringement of the reissue patent, against Teva USA, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., Watson, Lupin Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Apotex Corp. and Apotex Inc. Each of those generic companies had previously filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of celecoxib beginning in May 2014, upon the expiration of the basic patent (including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period) for celecoxib.

A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation
 
Like other pharmaceutical companies, 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
Quigley

Quigley Company, Inc. (Quigley), a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired by Pfizer in 1968 and sold products containing small amounts of asbestos until the early 1970s. In September 2004, Pfizer and Quigley took steps that were intended to resolve all pending and future claims against Pfizer and Quigley in which the claimants allege personal injury from exposure to Quigley products containing asbestos, silica or mixed dust. We recorded a charge of $369 million pre-tax ($229 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2004 in connection with these matters.

In September 2004, Quigley filed a petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In March 2005, Quigley filed a reorganization plan in the Bankruptcy Court that needed the approval of 75% of the voting claimants, as well as the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. In connection with that filing, Pfizer entered into settlement agreements with lawyers representing more than 80% of the individuals with claims related to Quigley products against Quigley and Pfizer. The agreements provide for a total of $430 million in payments, of which $215 million became due in December 2005 and has been and is being paid to claimants upon receipt by Pfizer of certain required documentation from each of the claimants. The reorganization plan provided for the establishment of a trust (the Trust) for the evaluation and, as appropriate, payment of all unsettled pending claims, as well as any future claims alleging injury from exposure to Quigley products.

In February 2008, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Quigley to solicit an amended reorganization plan for acceptance by claimants. According to the official report filed with the court by the balloting agent in July 2008, the requisite votes were cast in favor of the amended plan of reorganization.

29

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

The Bankruptcy Court held a confirmation hearing with respect to Quigley’s amended plan of reorganization that concluded in December 2009. In September 2010, the Bankruptcy Court declined to confirm the amended reorganization plan. As a result of the foregoing, Pfizer recorded additional charges for this matter of approximately $1.3 billion pre-tax (approximately $800 million after-tax) in 2010. Further, in order to preserve its right to address certain legal issues raised in the court’s opinion, in October 2010, Pfizer filed a notice of appeal and motion for leave to appeal the Bankruptcy Court’s decision denying confirmation.

In March 2011, Pfizer entered into a settlement agreement with a committee (the Ad Hoc Committee) representing approximately 40,000 claimants in the Quigley bankruptcy proceeding (the Ad Hoc Committee claimants). Consistent with the additional charges recorded in 2010 referred to above, the principal provisions of the settlement agreement provide for a settlement payment in two installments and other consideration, as follows:
the payment to the Ad Hoc Committee, for the benefit of the Ad Hoc Committee claimants, of a first installment of $500 million upon receipt by Pfizer of releases of asbestos-related claims against Pfizer Inc. from Ad Hoc Committee claimants holding $500 million in the aggregate of claims (Pfizer began paying this first installment in June 2011);
the payment to the Ad Hoc Committee, for the benefit of the Ad Hoc Committee claimants, of a second installment of $300 million upon Pfizer’s receipt of releases of asbestos-related claims against Pfizer Inc. from Ad Hoc Committee claimants holding an additional $300 million in the aggregate of claims (Pfizer began paying this second installment in April 2013);
the payment of the Ad Hoc Committee’s legal fees and expenses incurred in this matter up to a maximum of $19 million (Pfizer began paying these legal fees and expenses in May 2011); and
the procurement by Pfizer of insurance for the benefit of certain Ad Hoc Committee claimants to the extent such claimants with non-malignant diseases have a future disease progression to a malignant disease (Pfizer procured this insurance in August 2011).

Following the execution of the settlement agreement with the Ad Hoc Committee, Quigley filed a revised plan of reorganization and accompanying disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in April 2011, which it amended in June 2012. In August 2012, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Quigley to solicit the revised plan of reorganization for acceptance by claimants. The balloting agent's preliminary tabulation report filed with the court reflects that the requisite number of asbestos-related claimants cast votes in favor of the revised plan. A class of claimants holding non-asbestos-related, unsecured claims voted against the revised plan. However, we believe that, under applicable bankruptcy law, the revised plan may be confirmed notwithstanding the vote of the non-asbestos-related claimants.

Under the revised plan, and consistent with the additional charges recorded in 2010 referred to above, we expect to contribute an additional amount of cash and non-cash assets (including insurance proceeds) with a value in excess of $550 million to the Trust, if and when the Bankruptcy Court confirms the plan. The Bankruptcy Court must find that the revised plan meets the standards of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code before it confirms the plan. We expect that, if approved by claimants, confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court and upheld on any subsequent appeal, the revised reorganization plan will result in the District Court entering a permanent injunction directing pending claims, as well as future claims, alleging asbestos-related personal injury from exposure to Quigley products to the Trust, subject to the recent decision of the Second Circuit discussed below. There is no assurance that the plan will be approved by claimants or confirmed by the courts.

In April 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that the Bankruptcy Court’s preliminary injunction in the Quigley bankruptcy proceeding does not prohibit actions directly against Pfizer Inc. for alleged asbestos-related personal injury from exposure to Quigley products based on the “apparent manufacturer” theory of liability under Pennsylvania law. The Second Circuit’s decision is procedural and does not address the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims under Pennsylvania law. After the Second Circuit denied our petition for a rehearing, in September 2012, we filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a reversal of the Second Circuit’s decision. In July 2012, the Second Circuit had granted a stay of its decision while the U.S. Supreme Court considers our petition for certiorari.

In a separately negotiated transaction with an insurance company in August 2004, we agreed to a settlement related to certain insurance coverage which provides for payments to an insurance proceeds trust established by Pfizer and Quigley over a ten-year period of amounts totaling $405 million. Most of these insurance proceeds, as well as other payments from insurers that issued policies covering Pfizer and Quigley, would be paid, following confirmation, to the Trust for the benefit of present unsettled and future claimants with claims arising from exposure to Quigley products.

Other Matters

Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation, 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. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 66,400 claims naming American Optical and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials. Warner-Lambert is actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means to resolve, these claims.

Warner-Lambert and American Optical brought suit in state court in New Jersey against the insurance carriers that provided coverage for the asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials claims related to American Optical. A majority of the carriers subsequently agreed to pay for a portion of the costs of defending and resolving those claims. The litigation continues against the carriers who have disputed coverage or how costs should be allocated to their policies, and the court held that Warner-Lambert and American Optical are entitled to payment from each of those carriers of a proportionate share of the costs associated with those claims. Under New Jersey law, a special allocation master was appointed to implement certain aspects of the court’s rulings.

Numerous lawsuits are pending against Pfizer in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Gibsonburg Lime Products Company (Gibsonburg). Gibsonburg was acquired by Pfizer in the 1960s and sold products containing small amounts of asbestos until the early 1970s.

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.

Celebrex and Bextra
Beginning in late 2004, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal and state courts against Pfizer, Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia) and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of Pfizer and Pharmacia. These actions include (i) purported class actions alleging that Pfizer and certain current and former officers of Pfizer violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the safety of Celebrex and Bextra, and (ii) purported class actions filed by persons who claim to be participants in the Pfizer or Pharmacia Savings Plan alleging that Pfizer and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of Pfizer or, where applicable, Pharmacia and certain former officers, directors and employees of Pharmacia, violated certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) by selecting and maintaining Pfizer stock or Pharmacia stock as an investment alternative when it allegedly no longer was a suitable or prudent investment option. In June 2005, the federal securities and ERISA actions were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Pfizer Inc. Securities, Derivative and "ERISA" Litigation MDL-1688) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

In the consolidated federal securities action in the Multi-District Litigation that is referred to in the clause (i) in the first paragraph of this section, the court in March 2012 certified a class consisting of all persons who purchased or acquired Pfizer stock between October 31, 2000 and October 19, 2005. In November 2012, several institutional investors that had opted out of the certified class filed three, separate, multi-plaintiff actions in the Southern District of New York against the same defendants named in the consolidated class action, asserting allegations substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated class action.

In March 2013, the court dismissed the consolidated ERISA action in the Multi-District Litigation that is referred to in clause (ii) in the first paragraph of this section.

Various Drugs: Off-Label Promotion Actions
In May 2010, a purported class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Pfizer and several of our current and former officers. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making or causing Pfizer to make false statements, and by failing to disclose or causing Pfizer to fail to disclose material information, concerning the alleged off-label promotion of certain pharmaceutical products, alleged payments to physicians to promote the sale of those products and government investigations related thereto. Plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount. In March 2012, the court certified a class consisting of all persons who purchased Pfizer common stock in the U.S. or

on U.S. stock exchanges between January 19, 2006 and January 23, 2009 and were damaged as a result of the decline in the price of Pfizer common stock allegedly attributable to the claimed violations.

Various Drugs: Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance
In late February 2013, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against certain current and former officers and directors of Pfizer. Pfizer is named as a nominal defendant and was served with the complaint in March 2013. The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company as the result of, among other things, inadequate oversight of compliance by Pfizer subsidiaries in various countries outside the U.S. with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The plaintiff seeks damages in unspecified amounts and other unspecified relief on behalf of Pfizer.

Hormone-Replacement Therapy

Personal Injury and Economic Loss Actions

Pfizer and certain wholly owned subsidiaries and limited liability companies, including Wyeth and King, along with several other pharmaceutical manufacturers, have been named as defendants in approximately 10,000 actions in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury or economic loss related to the use or purchase of certain estrogen and progestin medications prescribed for women to treat the symptoms of menopause. Although new actions are occasionally filed, the number of new actions was not significant in the first quarter of 2013, and we do not expect a substantial change in the rate of new actions being filed. Plaintiffs in these suits allege a variety of personal injuries, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, stroke and heart disease. Certain co-defendants in some of these actions have asserted indemnification rights against Pfizer and its affiliated companies. The cases against Pfizer and its affiliated companies involve one or more of the following products, all of which remain approved by the FDA: femhrt (which Pfizer divested in 2003); Activella and Vagifem (which are Novo Nordisk products that were marketed by a Pfizer affiliate from 2000 to 2004); Premarin, Prempro, Aygestin, Cycrin and Premphase (which are legacy Wyeth products); and Provera, Ogen, Depo-Estradiol, Estring and generic MPA (which are legacy Pharmacia & Upjohn products). The federal cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Prempro Products Liability Litigation MDL-1507) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Certain of the federal cases have been remanded to their respective District Courts for further proceedings including, if necessary, trial.

This litigation consists of individual actions, a few purported statewide class actions and a purported province-wide class action in Quebec, Canada, a statewide class action in California and a nationwide class action in Canada. In March 2011, in an action against Wyeth seeking the refund of the purchase price paid for Wyeth’s hormone-replacement therapy products by individuals in the State of California during the period from January 1995 to January 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California certified a class consisting of all individual purchasers of such products in California who actually heard or read Wyeth’s alleged misrepresentations regarding such products. This is the only hormone-replacement therapy action to date against Pfizer and its affiliated companies in the U.S. in which a class has been certified. In addition, in August 2011, in an action against Wyeth seeking damages for personal injury, the Supreme Court of British Columbia certified a class consisting of all women who were prescribed Premplus and/or Premarin in combination with progestin in Canada between January 1, 1997 and December 1, 2003 and who thereafter were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Pfizer and its affiliated companies have prevailed in many of the hormone-replacement therapy actions that have been resolved to date, whether by voluntary dismissal by the plaintiffs, summary judgment, defense verdict or judgment notwithstanding the verdict; a number of these cases have been appealed by the plaintiffs. Certain other hormone-replacement therapy actions have resulted in verdicts for the plaintiffs and have included the award of compensatory and, in some instances, punitive damages; each of these cases has been appealed by Pfizer and/or its affiliated companies. The decisions in a few of the cases that had been appealed by Pfizer and/or its affiliated companies or by the plaintiffs have been upheld by the appellate courts, while several other cases that had been appealed by Pfizer and/or its affiliated companies or by the plaintiffs have been remanded by the appellate courts to their respective trial courts for further proceedings. Trials of additional hormone-replacement therapy actions are underway or scheduled in 2013.

Most of the unresolved actions against Pfizer and/or its affiliated companies have been outstanding for more than five years and could take many more years to resolve. However, opportunistic settlements could occur at any time. The litigation process is time-consuming, as every hormone-replacement action being litigated involves contested issues of medical causation and knowledge of risk. Even though the vast majority of hormone-replacement therapy actions concern breast cancer, the

32

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

underlying facts (e.g., medical causation, family history, reliance on warnings, physician/patient interaction, analysis of labels, actual, provable injury and other critical factors) can differ significantly from action to action, and the process of discovery has not yet begun for a majority of the unresolved actions. In addition, the hormone-replacement therapy litigation involves fundamental issues of science and medicine that often are uncertain and continue to evolve.

As of March 31, 2013, Pfizer and its affiliated companies had settled, or entered into definitive agreements or agreements-in-principle to settle, approximately 95% of the hormone-replacement therapy actions pending against us and our affiliated companies. Since the inception of this litigation, we recorded aggregate charges in previous years with respect to those actions, as well as with respect to the actions that have resulted in verdicts against us or our affiliated companies, of approximately $1.6 billion. In addition, in previous years, we recorded aggregate charges of approximately $100 million that provide for the expected costs to resolve all remaining hormone-replacement therapy actions against Pfizer and its affiliated companies, excluding the class actions and purported class actions referred to above. The approximately $100 million charges are an estimate and, while we cannot reasonably estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of the amounts accrued for these contingencies given the uncertainties inherent in this product liability litigation, as described above, additional charges may be required in the future.

Government Inquiries; Action by the State of Nevada

Pfizer and/or its affiliated companies also have received inquiries from various federal and state agencies and officials relating to the marketing of their hormone-replacement products. In November 2008, the State of Nevada filed an action against Pfizer, Pharmacia & Upjohn Company and Wyeth in state court in Nevada alleging that they had engaged in deceptive marketing of their respective hormone-replacement therapy medications in Nevada in violation of the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The action seeks monetary relief, including civil penalties and treble damages. In February 2010, the action was dismissed by the court on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired. In July 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the dismissal and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings.
 
Effexor

Personal Injury Actions

A number of individual lawsuits and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against us and/or our subsidiaries in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury as a result of the purported ingestion of Effexor.

Antitrust Actions

Beginning in May 2011, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal courts against Wyeth and, in certain of the actions, affiliates of Wyeth and certain other defendants relating to Effexor XR, which is the extended-release formulation of Effexor. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions seek to represent a class consisting of all persons in the U.S. and its territories who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR from any of the defendants from June 14, 2008 until the time the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct ceased. The plaintiffs in all of the actions allege delay in the launch of generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories, in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in certain of the actions, the antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws of certain states, as the result of Wyeth fraudulently obtaining and improperly listing certain patents for Effexor XR, enforcing certain patents for Effexor XR, and entering into a litigation settlement agreement with a generic manufacturer with respect to Effexor XR. Each of the plaintiffs seeks treble damages (for itself in the individual actions or on behalf of the putative class in the purported class actions) for alleged price overcharges for Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories since June 14, 2008. All of these actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In October 2012, the court stayed these actions pending the review by the U.S. Supreme Court of an action, to which the Company is not a party, involving a similar legal issue.

Zoloft
A number of individual lawsuits and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against us and/or our subsidiaries in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury as a result of the purported ingestion of Zoloft. Among other types of actions, the Zoloft personal injury litigation includes actions alleging a variety of birth defects as a result of the purported ingestion of Zoloft by women during pregnancy. Plaintiffs in these birth-defect actions seek compensatory and punitive damages and the disgorgement of profits resulting from the sale of Zoloft. In April 2012, the federal birth-defect cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Zoloft Products Liability Litigation MDL-2342) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Neurontin

Off-Label Promotion Actions in the U.S.

A number of lawsuits, including purported class actions, have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging claims arising from the promotion and sale of Neurontin. The plaintiffs in the purported class actions seek to represent nationwide and certain statewide classes consisting of persons, including individuals, health insurers, employee benefit plans and other third-party payers, who purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin that allegedly was used for indications other than those included in the product labeling approved by the FDA. In 2004, many of the suits pending in federal courts, including individual actions as well as purported class actions, were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Neurontin Marketing, Sales Practices and Product Liability Litigation MDL-1629) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

In the Multi-District Litigation, the District Court (i) denied the plaintiffs’ motion for certification of a nationwide class of all individual consumers and third-party payers who allegedly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin for off-label uses from 1994 through 2004, and (ii) dismissed an individual action by a third-party payer, Aetna, as well as actions by certain proposed class representatives for third-party payers and for individual consumers. In April 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed the decisions of the District Court dismissing the individual action by Aetna as well as the action by the third-party payer proposed class representatives. The First Circuit remanded those actions to the District Court for further consideration, including reconsideration of class certification in the third-party payer action. In addition, a number of individual actions by other third-party payers remain pending in the Multi-District Litigation and in other courts.

In January 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order trebling a jury verdict against us in an individual action by a third-party payer, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc., seeking damages for the alleged off-label promotion of Neurontin in violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. The verdict was for approximately $47.4 million, which was subject to automatic trebling to $142.1 million under the RICO Act. In November 2010, the court had entered a separate verdict against us in the amount of $65.4 million, together with prejudgment interest, under California’s Unfair Trade Practices law relating to the same alleged conduct, which amount is included within and is not additional to the $142.1 million trebled amount of the jury verdict. In April 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision.

Plaintiffs are seeking certification of statewide classes of Neurontin purchasers in actions pending in California and Illinois that allege off-label promotion of Neurontin. State courts in New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and New Mexico have declined to certify statewide classes of Neurontin purchasers.

Personal Injury Actions in the U.S. and Certain Other Countries

A number of individual lawsuits have been filed against us in various U.S. federal and state courts and in certain other countries alleging suicide, attempted suicide and other personal injuries as a result of the purported ingestion of Neurontin. Certain of the U.S. federal actions have been transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to the same Multi-District Litigation referred to in the first paragraph of the “Neurontin––Off-Label Promotion Actions in the U.S.” section above.

(UNAUDITED)

Antitrust Action in the U.S.

In January 2011, in a Multi-District Litigation (In re Neurontin Antitrust Litigation MDL-1479) that consolidates four actions, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey certified a nationwide class consisting of wholesalers and other entities who purchased Neurontin directly from Pfizer and Warner-Lambert during the period from December 11, 2002 to August 31, 2008 and who also purchased generic gabapentin after it became available. The complaints allege that Pfizer and Warner-Lambert engaged in anticompetitive conduct in violation of the Sherman Act that included, among other things, submitting patents for listing in the Orange Book and prosecuting and enforcing certain patents relating to Neurontin, as well as engaging in off-label marketing of Neurontin. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages on behalf of the class, which may be subject to trebling.

Lipitor

Whistleblower Action

In 2004, a former employee filed a “whistleblower” action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint remained under seal until September 2007, at which time the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York declined to intervene in the case. We were served with the complaint in December 2007. Plaintiff alleges off-label promotion of Lipitor in violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act and the false claims acts of certain states, and he seeks treble damages and civil penalties on behalf of the federal government and the specified states as the result of their purchase, or reimbursement of patients for the purchase, of Lipitor allegedly for such off-label uses. Plaintiff also seeks compensation as a whistleblower under those federal and state statutes. In addition, plaintiff alleges that he was wrongfully terminated, in violation of the anti-retaliation provisions of applicable federal and New York law, and he seeks damages and the reinstatement of his employment. In 2009, the court dismissed without prejudice the off-label promotion claims and, in 2010, plaintiff filed an amended complaint containing off-label promotion allegations that are substantially similar to the allegations in the original complaint. In November 2012, the District Court dismissed the amended complaint. In December 2012, the plaintiff appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Antitrust Actions

Beginning in November 2011, purported class actions relating to Lipitor were filed in various federal courts against Pfizer, certain affiliates of Pfizer, and, in most of the actions, Ranbaxy, among others. 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/or state antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws, resulting from (i) the 2008 agreement pursuant to which Pfizer and Ranbaxy settled certain patent litigation involving Lipitor, and Pfizer granted Ranbaxy a license to sell a generic version of Lipitor in various markets beginning on varying dates, and (ii) in certain of the actions, the procurement and/or enforcement of certain patents for Lipitor. Each of the actions seeks, among other things, treble damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged price overcharges for Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) during the Class Period. In addition, individual actions have been filed against Pfizer, Ranbaxy and certain of their affiliates, among others, that assert claims and seek relief for the plaintiffs that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above. These various actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation (In re Lipitor Antitrust Litigation MDL-2332) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Chantix/Champix

Actions in the U.S.

A number of individual lawsuits were filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging suicide, attempted suicide and other personal injuries as a result of the purported ingestion of Chantix, as well as economic loss. Plaintiffs in these actions sought compensatory and punitive damages and the disgorgement of profits resulting from the sale of Chantix. In October 2009, the federal cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Chantix (Varenicline) Products Liability Litigation MDL-2092) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.


35

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

In late-November 2012, we began advanced settlement discussions with various law firms that represent the plaintiffs in the majority of these actions as well as persons who have asserted claims but not filed legal actions. As of April 2013, we had settled, or entered into definitive agreements or agreements-in-principle to settle, virtually all of the known Chantix claims in the U.S., including actions pending in the MDL and in state courts. In connection with these settlements and settlement agreements and agreements-in-principle, we recorded aggregate charges of approximately $288 million in 2012 and charges of approximately $11 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Actions in Canada

Beginning in December 2008, purported class actions were filed against us in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Toronto Region), the Superior Court of Quebec (District of Montreal), the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, and the Superior Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry) on behalf of all individuals and third-party payers in Canada who have purchased and ingested Champix or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Champix. Each of these actions asserts claims under Canadian product liability law, including with respect to the safety and efficacy of Champix, and, on behalf of the putative class, seeks monetary relief, including punitive damages. In June 2012, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the Ontario proceeding as a class action, defining the class as consisting of the following: (i) all persons in Canada who ingested Champix during the period from April 2, 2007 to May 31, 2010 and who experienced at least one of a number of specified neuropsychiatric adverse events; (ii) all persons who are entitled to assert claims in respect of Champix pursuant to Canadian legislation as the result of their relationship with a class member; and (iii) all health insurers who are entitled to assert claims in respect of Champix pursuant to Canadian legislation. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the class against Pfizer Canada Inc. only and ruled that the action against Pfizer Inc. should be stayed until after the trial of the issues that are common to the class members. The actions in Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia have been stayed in favor of the Ontario action, which is proceeding on a national basis.

Bapineuzumab
In June 2010, a purported class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Pfizer, as successor to Wyeth, and several former officers of Wyeth. The complaint alleges that Wyeth and the individual defendants violated federal securities laws by making or causing Wyeth to make false and misleading statements, and by failing to disclose or causing Wyeth to fail to disclose material information, concerning the results of a clinical trial involving bapineuzumab, a product in development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class consisting of all persons who purchased Wyeth securities from May 21, 2007 through July 2008 and seeks damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of the putative class. In February 2012, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. In December 2012, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to file an amended complaint. In April 2013, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In May 2013, the plaintiff appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Thimerosal
Wyeth is a defendant in a number of suits by or on behalf of vaccine recipients alleging that exposure through vaccines to cumulative doses of thimerosal, a preservative used in certain childhood vaccines formerly manufactured and distributed by Wyeth and other vaccine manufacturers, caused severe neurological damage and/or autism in children. While several suits were filed as purported nationwide or statewide class actions, all of the purported class actions have been dismissed, either by the courts or voluntarily by the plaintiffs. In addition to the suits alleging injury from exposure to thimerosal, certain of the cases were brought by parents in their individual capacities for, among other things, loss of services and loss of consortium of the injured child.

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (the Vaccine Act) requires that persons alleging injury from childhood vaccines first file a petition in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims asserting a vaccine-related injury. At the conclusion of that proceeding, petitioners may bring a lawsuit against the manufacturer in federal or state court, provided that they have satisfied certain procedural requirements. Also under the terms of the Vaccine Act, if a petition has not been adjudicated by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims within a specified time period after filing, the petitioner may opt out of the proceeding and pursue a lawsuit against the manufacturer by following certain procedures. Some of the vaccine recipients who have sued Wyeth to date may not have satisfied the conditions to filing a lawsuit that are mandated by the Vaccine Act. The claims brought by parents for, among other things, loss of services and loss of consortium of the injured child are not covered by the Vaccine Act.

In 2002, the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims established an Omnibus Autism Proceeding with jurisdiction over petitions in which vaccine recipients claim to suffer from autism or autism spectrum disorder as a result of

36

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

receiving thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and/or the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. There currently are several thousand petitions pending in the Omnibus Autism Proceeding. Special masters of the court have heard six test cases on petitioners’ theories that either thimerosal-containing vaccines in combination with the MMR vaccine or thimerosal-containing vaccines alone can cause autism or autism spectrum disorder.
In February 2009, special masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims rejected the three cases brought on the theory that a combination of MMR and thimerosal-containing vaccines caused petitioners’ conditions. After these rulings were affirmed by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, two of them were appealed by petitioners to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In 2010, the Federal Circuit affirmed the decisions of the special masters in both of these cases.
In March 2010, special masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims rejected the three additional test cases brought on the theory that thimerosal-containing vaccines alone caused petitioners’ conditions. Petitioners did not seek review by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims of the decisions of the special masters in these latter three test cases, and judgments were entered dismissing the cases in April 2010.
Petitioners in each of the six test cases have filed an election to bring a civil action.

Rebif
We have an exclusive collaboration agreement with EMD Serono, Inc. (Serono) to co-promote Rebif, a treatment for multiple sclerosis, in the U.S. In August 2011, Serono filed a complaint in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas seeking a declaratory judgment that we are not entitled to a 24-month extension of the Rebif co-promotion agreement, which otherwise would terminate at the end of 2013. We disagree with Serono's interpretation of the agreement and believe that we have the right to extend the agreement to the end of 2015. In October 2011, the court sustained our preliminary objections and dismissed Serono’s complaint. In March 2013, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the decision of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas dismissing Serono's complaint, thereby upholding our right to extend the Rebif co-promotion agreement to the end of 2015. In April 2013, Serono filed a petition with the Superior Court of Pennsylvania seeking reconsideration of the decision.
 
Various Drugs: Co-Pay Programs
In March 2012, a purported class action was filed against Pfizer in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class consisting of all entities in the U.S. and its territories that have reimbursed patients for the purchase of certain Pfizer drugs for which co-pay programs exist or have existed. The plaintiffs allege that these programs violate the federal RICO Act and federal antitrust law by, among other things, providing an incentive for patients to use certain Pfizer drugs rather than less-expensive competitor products, thereby increasing the payers’ reimbursement costs. The plaintiffs seek treble damages on behalf of the putative class for their excess reimbursement costs allegedly attributable to the co-pay programs as well as an injunction prohibiting us from offering such programs. In July 2012, a substantially similar purported class action was filed against Pfizer in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, which action was stayed in October 2012 pending the outcome of the action in the Southern District of New York. Similar purported class actions have been filed against several other pharmaceutical companies.

A3. Legal Proceedings––Commercial and Other Matters

Average Wholesale Price Litigation
Pfizer, certain of its subsidiaries and other pharmaceutical manufacturers are defendants in actions in various state courts by a number of states alleging that the defendants provided average wholesale price (AWP) information for certain of their products that was higher than the actual average prices at which those products were sold. The AWP is used to determine reimbursement levels under Medicare Part B and Medicaid and in many private-sector insurance policies and medical plans. The plaintiffs claim that the alleged spread between the AWPs at which purchasers were reimbursed and the actual sale prices was promoted by the defendants as an incentive to purchase certain of their products. In addition to suing on their own behalf, some of the plaintiff states seek to recover on behalf of individuals, private-sector insurance companies and medical plans in their states. These various actions allege, among other things, fraud, unfair competition, unfair trade practices and the violation of consumer protection statutes, and seek monetary and other relief, including civil penalties and treble damages.

Monsanto-Related Matters
In 1997, Monsanto Company (Former Monsanto) contributed certain chemical manufacturing operations and facilities to a newly formed corporation, Solutia Inc. (Solutia), and spun off the shares of Solutia. In 2000, Former Monsanto merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn Company to form Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia). Pharmacia then transferred its agricultural

37

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

operations to a newly created subsidiary, named Monsanto Company (New Monsanto), which it spun off in a two-stage process that was completed in 2002. Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer in 2003 and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

In connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities related to Pharmacia’s former agricultural business. New Monsanto is defending and indemnifying Pharmacia in connection with various claims and litigation arising out of, or related to, the agricultural business.

In connection with its spin-off in 1997, Solutia assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, liabilities related to Former Monsanto's chemical businesses. As the result of its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Solutia’s indemnification obligations related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses are limited to sites that Solutia has owned or operated. In addition, in connection with its spinoff that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities primarily related to Former Monsanto's chemical businesses, including, but not limited to, any such liabilities that Solutia assumed. Solutia's and New Monsanto's assumption of and agreement to indemnify Pharmacia for these liabilities apply to pending actions and any future actions related to Former Monsanto's chemical businesses in which Pharmacia is named as a defendant, including, without limitation, actions asserting environmental claims, including alleged exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls. Solutia and New Monsanto are defending and indemnifying Pharmacia in connection with various claims and litigation arising out of, or related to, Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses.

Trade Secrets Action in California
In 2004, Ischemia Research and Education Foundation (IREF) and its chief executive officer brought an action in California Superior Court, Santa Clara County, against a former IREF employee and Pfizer. Plaintiffs allege that defendants conspired to misappropriate certain information from IREF’s allegedly proprietary database in order to assist Pfizer in designing and executing a clinical study of a Pfizer drug. In 2008, the jury returned a verdict for compensatory damages of approximately $38.7 million. In March 2009, the court awarded prejudgment interest, but declined to award punitive damages. In July 2009, the court granted our motion for a new trial and vacated the jury verdict. In February 2013, the trial court's decision was affirmed by the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District.
 
Environmental Matters
In 2009, we submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a corrective measures study report with regard to Pharmacia Corporation's discontinued industrial chemical facility in North Haven, Connecticut and a revised site-wide feasibility study with regard to Wyeth Holdings Corporation's discontinued industrial chemical facility in Bound Brook, New Jersey. In September 2010, our corrective measures study report with regard to the North Haven facility was approved by the EPA, and we commenced construction of the site remedy in late 2011 under an Updated Administrative Order on Consent with the EPA. In July 2011, we finalized an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Removal Action with the EPA with regard to the Bound Brook facility. In May 2012, we completed construction of an interim remedy to address the discharge of impacted groundwater from that facility to the Raritan River. In September 2012, the EPA issued a final remediation plan for the Bound Brook facility's main plant area, which is generally in accordance with one of the remedies evaluated in our revised site-wide feasibility study, and we are now undertaking detailed engineering design of the remedy for the main plant area and are performing a focused feasibility study for two adjacent lagoons. The estimated costs of the site remedy for the North Haven facility and the site remediation for the Bound Brook facility are covered by accruals previously taken by us.

We are a party to a number of other proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA or Superfund), and other state, local or foreign laws in which the primary relief sought is the cost of past and/or future remediation.

In February 2011, King received notice from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) advising that the EPA has requested that the DOJ initiate enforcement action seeking injunctive relief and penalties against King for alleged non-compliance with certain provisions of the federal Clean Air Act at its Bristol, Tennessee manufacturing facility. King has executed a tolling agreement with the DOJ in order to facilitate the possible resolution of this matter. We do not expect that any injunctive relief or penalties that may result from this matter will be material to Pfizer.

In October 2011, we voluntarily disclosed to the EPA potential non-compliance with certain provisions of the federal Clean Air Act at our Barceloneta, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. We do not expect that any injunctive relief or penalties that may result from our voluntary disclosure will be material to Pfizer. Separately, in October 2012, the EPA issued an administrative

38

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

complaint and penalty demand of $216,000 to resolve alleged non-compliance with similar provisions of the federal Clean Air Act that the EPA identified as part of its March 2010 inspection of the Barceloneta facility. We have commenced discussions with the EPA seeking to resolve these matters.

A4. Legal Proceedings––Government Investigations
 
Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in the other countries in which we operate. As a result, we have interactions with government agencies on an ongoing basis. It is possible that criminal charges and substantial fines and/or civil penalties could result from government investigations. Among the investigations by government agencies is the matter discussed below.

The DOJ is conducting a civil investigation regarding Wyeth’s practices relating to the pricing for Protonix for Medicaid rebate purposes prior to Wyeth's acquisition by Pfizer. In 2009, the DOJ filed a civil complaint in intervention in two qui tam actions that had been filed under seal in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that Wyeth’s practices relating to the pricing for Protonix for Medicaid rebate purposes between 2001 and 2006 violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act and federal common law. The two qui tam actions have been unsealed and the complaints include substantially similar allegations. In addition, in 2009, several states and the District of Columbia filed a complaint under the same docket number asserting violations of various state laws based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the civil complaint filed by the DOJ. We are exploring with the DOJ various ways to resolve this matter.

B. Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or related to activities prior to the transaction. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental, tax, employee and/or product-related matters and patent-infringement claims. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of March 31, 2013, recorded amounts for the estimated fair value of these indemnifications are not significant.

Pfizer Inc. has also guaranteed the long-term debt of certain companies that it acquired and that now are subsidiaries of Pfizer.

Note 13. Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information

A. Segment Information

We manage our operations through five operating segments––Primary Care, Specialty Care and Oncology, Established Products and Emerging Markets, Animal Health (Zoetis) and Consumer Healthcare. Each pharmaceutical operating segment and Consumer Healthcare have responsibility for their commercial activities and for certain research and development activities related to in-line products and IPR&D projects that generally have achieved proof-of-concept. Our Animal Health operating segment is managed within the framework of a standalone public company, Zoetis.

We have made certain reclassification adjustments to to conform prior-period amounts to the current measurement basis for our operating segments as a result of the formation of Zoetis. For additional information, see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.
 
We regularly review our segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Generally, products are transferred to the Established Products unit in the beginning of the fiscal year following loss of patent protection or marketing exclusivity.

Operating Segments

A description of each of our five operating segments follows:
Primary Care operating segment––includes revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from human prescription pharmaceutical products primarily prescribed by primary-care physicians, and may include products in the following therapeutic and disease areas: Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular (excluding pulmonary arterial hypertension), erectile

dysfunction, genitourinary, major depressive disorder, pain, respiratory and smoking cessation. Examples of products in this unit in the first quarter of 2013 include Celebrex, Chantix/Champix, Eliquis, Lyrica, Premarin, Pristiq and Viagra (outside Canada and South Korea). All revenues and earnings for such products are allocated to the Primary Care unit, except those generated in Emerging Markets and those that are managed by the Established Products unit.
Specialty Care and Oncology operating segment––comprises the Specialty Care business unit and the Oncology business unit.
Specialty Care––includes revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from human prescription pharmaceutical products primarily prescribed by physicians who are specialists, and may include products in the following therapeutic and disease areas: anti-infectives, endocrine disorders, hemophilia, inflammation, ophthalmology, pulmonary arterial hypertension, specialty neuroscience and vaccines. Examples of products in this unit in the first quarter of 2013 include BeneFIX, Enbrel, Genotropin, Geodon (outside the U.S.), the Prevnar/Prevenar family, ReFacto AF, Revatio (outside the U.S.), Tygacil, Vfend (outside the U.S. and South Korea), Vyndaqel (outside the U.S.), Xalatan (outside the U.S., Canada, South Korea, developed Europe, Australia and New Zealand), Xeljanz, Xyntha and Zyvox. All revenues and earnings for such products are allocated to the Specialty Care unit, except those generated in Emerging Markets and those that are managed by the Established Products unit.
Oncology––includes revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from human prescription pharmaceutical products addressing oncology and oncology-related illnesses. The products in this unit in the first quarter of 2013 include Inlyta, Sutent, Torisel, Xalkori, Mylotarg (in Japan), Bosulif (in the U.S. and European Union (EU)) and Aromasin (in Japan and South Korea). All revenues and earnings for such products are allocated to the Oncology unit, except those generated in Emerging Markets and those that are managed by the Established Products unit.
Established Products and Emerging Markets operating segment––comprises the Established Products business unit and the Emerging Markets business unit.
Established Products––includes revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from human prescription pharmaceutical products that have lost patent protection or marketing exclusivity in certain countries and/or regions. Typically, products are transferred to this unit in the beginning of the fiscal year following loss of patent protection or marketing exclusivity. However, in certain situations, products may be transferred to this unit at a different point than the beginning of the fiscal year following loss of patent protection or marketing exclusivity in order to maximize their value. This unit also excludes revenues and earnings generated in Emerging Markets. Examples of products in this unit in the first quarter of 2013 include Arthrotec, Effexor, Geodon (in the U.S.), Lipitor, Medrol, Norvasc, Protonix, Relpax, Vfend (in the U.S. and South Korea), Xalatan (in the U.S., Canada, South Korea, developed Europe, Australia and New Zealand), Zosyn/Tazocin and Viagra (in Canada and South Korea).
Emerging Markets––includes revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from all human prescription pharmaceutical products sold in Emerging Markets, including Asia (excluding Japan and South Korea), Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, Turkey and Central Europe.
Animal Health operating segment (Zoetis)––includes worldwide revenues and earnings, as defined by management and within the framework of a standalone public company, from products and services to prevent and treat disease in livestock and companion animals, including anti-infectives, vaccines, parasiticides, medicinal feed additives, other pharmaceutical products and other non-pharmaceutical products.
Consumer Healthcare operating segment––includes worldwide revenues and earnings, as defined by management, from non-prescription products in the following therapeutic categories: dietary supplements, pain management, respiratory and personal care. Products marketed by Consumer Healthcare include Advil, Caltrate, Centrum, ChapStick, Emergen-C, Preparation H and Robitussin.
Our chief operating decision maker uses the revenues and earnings of the five operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation. For the operating segments that comprise more than one business unit, a single segment manager has responsibility for those business units.

Other Costs and Business Activities
 
Certain costs are not allocated to our operating segment results, such as costs associated with the following:
Worldwide Research and Development, which is generally responsible for human health research projects until proof-of-concept is achieved and then for transitioning those projects to the appropriate business unit for possible clinical and commercial development. R&D spending may include upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights. This

40

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

organization also has responsibility for certain science-based and other platform-services organizations, which provide technical expertise and other services to the various R&D projects. Worldwide Research and Development is also responsible for facilitating all human-health-related regulatory submissions and interactions with regulatory agencies, including all safety-event activities.
Pfizer Medical is responsible for external affairs relating to all therapeutic areas, providing Pfizer-related medical information to healthcare providers, patients and other parties, and quality assurance and regulatory compliance activities, which include conducting clinical trial audits and readiness reviews.
Corporate, which is responsible for platform functions such as finance, global real estate operations, human resources, legal, compliance, science and technology, worldwide procurement, worldwide public affairs and policy and worldwide technology. These costs also include compensation costs and other miscellaneous operating expenses not charged to our operating segments, as well as interest income and expense.
Certain transactions and events such as (i) purchase accounting adjustments, where we incur expenses associated with the amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; (ii) acquisition-related activities, where we incur costs for restructuring, integration, implementation and executing the transaction; and (iii) certain significant items, which include non-acquisition-related restructuring costs, as well as costs incurred for legal settlements, asset impairments and disposals of assets or businesses.

Segment Assets

We manage our assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment, as many of our operating assets are shared (such as our plant network assets) or commingled (such as accounts receivable, as many of our customers are served by multiple operating segments). Therefore, our chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by operating segment. Total assets were approximately $187 billion as of March 31, 2013 and approximately $186 billion as of December 31, 2012.

(a) 
Income from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income.
(b) 
Revenues and Earnings from the Primary Care segment decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2012, and earnings as a percentage of revenues also declined, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity for Lipitor in

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

developed Europe and Australia and the subsequent shift in the reporting of Lipitor in those markets to the Established Products business unit.
(c) 
Revenues and Earnings from the Established Products and Emerging Markets segment decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2012, driven by, among other things, the expiration of the 180-day exclusivity period in the U.S. for atorvastatin and the loss of exclusivity in the U.S. for branded Lipitor, partially offset by the addition of products in certain markets that shifted to the Established Products unit from other business units beginning January 1, 2013. Earnings as a percentage of revenue decreased due to the change in the mix of products.
(d) 
Includes our Animal Health (Zoetis) operating segment and the Consumer Healthcare operating segment. The Animal Health earnings reflect the income before taxes of Zoetis on a management-reporting basis and generally include higher operating costs associated with being a standalone public company.
(e) 
Other business activities includes the revenues and operating results of Pfizer CentreSource, our contract manufacturing and bulk pharmaceutical chemical sales operation, and the R&D costs managed by our Worldwide Research and Development organization and our Pfizer Medical organization.
(f) 
Corporate for R&D expenses includes, among other things, administration expenses and compensation expenses associated with our research and development activities, and for Earnings includes, among other things, administration expenses, interest income/(expense), certain compensation and other costs not charged to our operating segments.
(g) 
Purchase accounting adjustments include certain charges related to the fair value adjustments to inventory, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
(h) 
Acquisition-related costs can include costs associated with acquiring, integrating and restructuring newly acquired businesses, such as transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring charges and additional depreciation associated with asset restructuring (see Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives for additional information).
(i) 
Certain significant items are substantive, unusual items that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
For Earnings in the first quarter of 2013, certain significant items includes: (i) restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition of $217 million, (ii) net credits for certain legal matters of $87 million, (iii) certain asset impairment charges of $396 million, (iv) gain associated with the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China of $490 million, (v) costs associated with the separation of Zoetis of $76 million and (vi) other charges of $16 million. For additional information, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment, Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives and Note 4. Other Deductions––Net.
For Earnings in the first quarter of 2012, certain significant items includes: (i) restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition of $817 million, (ii) charges for certain legal matters of $775 million, (iii) certain asset impairment charges of $412 million, (iv) costs associated with the separation of Zoetis of $38 million and (v) other charges of $25 million. For additional information, see Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives and Note 4. Other Deductions––Net.
For R&D in all periods presented, certain significant items primarily reflect additional depreciation––asset restructuring and implementation costs.
(j) 
Includes overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing and commercial operations not directly attributable to an operating segment.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc. and Subsidiary Companies as of March 31, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013, and April 1, 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc. and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE, OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Our Business

We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives. We strive to set the standard for quality, safety and value in the discovery, development and manufacture of healthcare products. Our global portfolio includes medicines and vaccines, as well as many of the world’s best-known consumer healthcare products. Every day, we work across developed and emerging markets to advance wellness, prevention, treatments and cures that challenge the most feared diseases of our time. We collaborate with healthcare providers, governments and local communities to support and expand access to reliable, affordable healthcare around the world. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our products, as well as through alliance agreements, under which we co-promote products discovered by other companies (Alliance revenues).

On February 6, 2013, an initial public offering (IPO) of the Class A common stock of our subsidiary, Zoetis Inc. (Zoetis), was completed, pursuant to which we sold 99.015 million shares of Class A common stock of Zoetis in exchange for the retirement of approximately $2.5 billion of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2013. The shares of Class A common stock sold in the IPO represented approximately 19.8% of the total outstanding Zoetis shares. On February 1, 2013, Zoetis shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ZTS." Prior to and in connection with the IPO, Zoetis completed a $3.65 billion senior notes offering, and we transferred to Zoetis substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our Animal Health business.

Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures, and see the “Our Business Development Initiatives” and “Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A.

On November 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our Nutrition business to Nestlé for $11.85 billion in cash. The operating results of this business are reported as Discontinued operations––net of tax in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended April 1, 2012. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures and see the “Our Business Development Initiatives” and “Discontinued Operations” sections of this MD&A.

Our First Quarter 2013 Performance

Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were $13.5 billion, a decrease of 9% compared to the same period in 2012, which reflects an operational decline of $1.3 billion, or 8%, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $118 million, or 1%. The operational decrease was primarily the result of the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor during the second quarter of 2012 in developed Europe and Geodon in March 2012 in the U.S., and the timing of government purchases of Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 in various markets, slightly offset by growth in the Emerging Markets business unit. Lipitor and other product losses of exclusivity negatively impacted revenues by approximately $1.3 billion, or 9%, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

(a) 
Lipitor lost exclusivity in the U.S. in November 2011, in the majority of developed European markets in March and May 2012 and in Australia in April 2012. Xalatan/Xalacom lost exclusivity in the majority of European markets in January 2012 and in Australia in July 2012. Revatio tablet lost exclusivity in the U.S. in September 2012. Detrol immediate release (Detrol IR) lost exclusivity in the U.S. in June 2012. Detrol IR and Detrol LA lost exclusivity in most European markets in September 2012. Adversely impacting Alliance revenues were the loss of exclusivity for Aricept 5mg and 10mg tablets in the majority of European markets in February 2012 and April 2012 and the return of our rights to Aricept in Japan to Eisai Co., Ltd. in December 2012; in addition, lower revenues for Spiriva in certain European countries, Canada and Australia reflect final-year terms in 2012 of our collaboration agreements in those markets. Geodon, which is included in All other biopharmaceutical products, lost exclusivity in the U.S. in March 2012.
(b) 
Represents direct sales under license agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd.
(c) 
Includes the “All other” category included in the Revenues—Major Biopharmaceutical Products table presented in this MD&A, which includes sales of generic atorvastatin, which declined due to multi-source generic competition in the U.S. beginning in late May 2012.
* Calculation not meaningful.

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.8 billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting, among other items:
charges for legal matters that changed favorably by approximately $897 billion (pre-tax) in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 (see also the “Costs and Expenses––Other Deductions––Net” section of this MD&A and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 4. Other Deductions––Net);
additional benefits generated from our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives;
charges related to our non-acquisition related cost-reduction and productivity initiatives that were approximately $600 million (pre-tax) lower in the first quarter of 2013 than in the same period in 2012;
a $490 million (pre-tax) gain associated with the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China, Hisun Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Company Limited (Hisun Pfizer) (see also the “Our Business Development Initiatives” section of this MD&A and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures);
purchase accounting charges that were approximately $214 million (pre-tax) lower in the first quarter of 2013 than in the same period in 2012; and

49


acquisition-related costs that were approximately $88 million (pre-tax) lower in the first quarter of 2013 than in the same period in 2012,
partially offset by:
lower revenues, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor, as well as certain other products (see also "Industry-Specific Challenges" section of this MD&A).
 See also the “Discontinued Operations” section of this MD&A.

Our Operating Environment

U.S. Healthcare Legislation

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (together, the U.S. Healthcare Legislation, and also known as the Affordable Care Act), was enacted in the U.S. As explained more fully in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, this legislation has resulted in both current and longer-term impacts on us.

We recorded the following amounts as a result of the U.S. Healthcare Legislation:
$128 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $123 million in the first quarter of 2012 recorded as a reduction to Revenues, related to the higher, extended and expanded rebate provisions and the Medicare “coverage gap” discount provision; and
$55 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $103 million in the first quarter of 2012 recorded in Selling, informational and administrative expenses, related to the fee payable to the federal government (which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes) based on our prior-calendar-year share relative to other companies of branded prescription drug sales to specified government programs.

Industry-Specific Challenges

The majority of our revenues come from the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products. As explained more fully in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the biopharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and we face a number of industry-specific challenges, which can significantly impact our results. These factors include, among others: the loss or expiration of intellectual property rights and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights, pipeline productivity and the regulatory environment, pricing and access pressures and competition among branded products.

As more fully explained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the loss or expiration of intellectual property rights and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights can have a significant adverse effect on our revenues. Our 2013 financial guidance reflects the anticipated impact in 2013 of the loss of such rights as described below (see the “Our Financial Guidance for 2013” section of this MD&A for additional information).

Our 2013 results have been and/or will be adversely impacted by the following:
Lipitor in the U.S.––We lost exclusivity for Lipitor in the U.S. in November 2011. The entry of multi-source generic competition in the U.S. began in May 2012, with attendant increased competitive pressures.
Lipitor in international markets––Lipitor lost exclusivity in Australia in April 2012 and most of developed Europe in March 2012 and May 2012, and now faces multi-source generic competition in those markets. Lipitor has lost exclusivity in all major markets.
Other recent loss of exclusivity impacts––In the U.S., we lost exclusivity for Geodon in March 2012 and Revatio tablet in September 2012. We lost exclusivity for Xalatan and Xalacom in the majority of European markets in January 2012 and Australia in July 2012. We lost exclusivity for Aricept in the majority of European markets in February 2012 and April 2012. Caduet lost exclusivity in the majority of European markets in March and May 2012. We lost exclusivity in the U.S. for Detrol IR in June 2012. Detrol IR and Detrol LA lost exclusivity in most European markets in September 2012.
Aricept—Our rights to Aricept in Japan returned to Eisai Co., Ltd. in December 2012. We expect to lose exclusivity for the Aricept 23mg tablet in the U.S. in July 2013.
Spiriva—Our collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) for Spiriva expires on a country-by-country basis between 2012 and 2016, including the expiration in certain EU markets and Canada and Australia in 2012, which is adversely impacting our 2013 results. We expect to experience a graduated decline in revenues from Spiriva through 2016.

50


Enbrel—Our U.S. and Canada collaboration agreement with Amgen Inc. for Enbrel will expire in October 2013. While we are entitled to royalties for 36 months thereafter, we expect that those royalties will be significantly less than our current share of Enbrel profits from U.S. and Canada sales. Outside the U.S. and Canada, our exclusive rights to Enbrel continue in perpetuity.
Rebif—Our collaboration agreement with EMD Serono Inc. (Serono) to co-promote Rebif in the U.S. will expire either at the end of 2013 or the end of 2015, depending on the outcome of pending litigation between Pfizer and Serono concerning the interpretation of the agreement. We believe that we are entitled to a 24-month extension of the agreement to the end of 2015. Serono believes that we are not entitled to the extension and that the agreement will expire at the end of 2013. In October 2011, the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas sustained our preliminary objections and dismissed Serono's complaint. In March 2013, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed that decision. In April 2013, Serono filed a petition with the Superior Court of Pennsylvania seeking reconsideration of the decision. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies.

For additional information, including with regard to the expiration of the patents and of co-promotion and licensing rights for various products in the U.S., EU and Japan in 2013 and subsequent years, see the “Patents and Intellectual Property Rights” section of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and the “The Loss or Expiration of Intellectual Property Rights” section of our 2012 Financial Report, which was filed as Exhibit 13 to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

We will continue to aggressively defend our patent rights whenever we deem appropriate. For more detailed information about our significant products, see the discussion in the “Revenues––Selected Revenues from Biopharmaceutical Products” section of this MD&A. See Part II––Other Information; Item 1. Legal Proceedings, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain recent developments with respect to patent litigation.

In August 2011, the federal Budget Control Act of 2011 (the Budget Control Act) was enacted in the U.S. The Budget Control Act includes provisions to raise the U.S. Treasury Department’s borrowing limit, known as the debt ceiling, and provisions to reduce the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion between 2012 and 2021. Deficit-reduction targets include $900 billion of discretionary spending reductions associated with the Department of Health and Human Services and various agencies charged with national security, but those discretionary spending reductions do not include programs such as Medicare and Medicaid or direct changes to pharmaceutical pricing, rebates or discounts. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for identifying the remaining $1.5 trillion of deficit reductions, which will be divided evenly between defense and non-defense spending. Under this OMB review process, Social Security, Medicaid, Veteran Benefits and certain other spending categories are excluded from consideration, but reductions in payments to Medicare providers may be made, although any such reductions are prohibited by law from exceeding 2% of the originally budgeted amount. Additionally, certain payments to Medicare Part D plans, such as low-income subsidy payments, are exempt from reduction. While we do not know the specific nature of the spending reductions under the Budget Control Act that will affect Medicare, we do not expect that those reductions will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. However, any significant spending reductions affecting Medicare, Medicaid or other publicly funded or subsidized health programs that may be implemented, and/or any significant additional taxes or fees that may be imposed on us, as part of any broader deficit-reduction effort or legislative replacement for the Budget Control Act, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Enforcement of the U.S. federal debt ceiling has been suspended through May 18, 2013. If the U.S. federal government fails to suspend enforcement of the debt ceiling beyond May 18, 2013 or to increase the debt ceiling and, as a result, is unable to satisfy its financial obligations, including under Medicare, Medicaid and other publicly funded or subsidized health programs, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

In March 2013, we received a warning letter from the FDA with respect to our manufacturing facility in Catania, Italy. The letter raises certain issues related to the inspection of that facility that was conducted by the FDA in 2012 in connection with our application to transfer to Catania the manufacture of Tygacil and the packaging of the 40-gram dosage of Zosyn, both for the U.S. market. We currently manufacture penicillin and non-penicillin antibiotics, as well as methotrexate and diluent for Torisel at Catania. We continue to work with the FDA to address the issues raised in the warning letter.

The Global Economic Environment

In addition to the industry-specific factors discussed above, we, like other businesses, continue to face the effects of the challenging economic environment, which have impacted our biopharmaceutical operations in the U.S. and Europe, including the countries that use the euro, and in a number of emerging markets. We believe that patients, experiencing the effects of the challenging economic environment, including high unemployment levels, and increases in co-pays, sometimes switch to generic products, delay treatments, skip doses or use less effective treatments to reduce their costs. Challenging economic

51


conditions in the U.S. also have increased the number of patients in the Medicaid program, under which sales of pharmaceuticals are subject to substantial rebates and, in many states, to formulary restrictions limiting access to brand-name drugs, including ours. In addition, we continue to experience pricing pressure in various markets around the world, including in developed European markets, Japan and in a number of emerging markets, with government-mandated reductions in prices for certain biopharmaceutical products and government-imposed access restrictions in certain countries.

Significant portions of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing same-currency revenues in relation to same-currency costs and same-currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. Depending on market conditions, foreign exchange risk also is managed through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. As we operate in multiple foreign currencies, including the euro, the Japanese yen, the U.K. pound, the Chinese renminbi, the Canadian dollar and approximately 100 other currencies, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will impact our revenues and expenses. If the U.S. dollar weakens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will increase, having a positive impact, and our overall expenses will increase, having a negative impact, on net income. Likewise, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will decrease, having a negative impact, and our overall expenses will decrease, having a positive impact on net income. Therefore, significant changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results and our financial guidance.

On February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency from a rate of 4.3 to 6.3 of Venezuelan currency to the U.S. dollar. We incurred a foreign currency loss of $80 million immediately on the devaluation as a result of remeasuring the local balance sheets, and we will experience ongoing adverse impacts to earnings as our revenues and expenses will be translated into U.S. dollars at lower rates. We cannot predict whether there will be further devaluations of the Venezuelan currency or devaluations of any other currencies.

Despite the challenging financial markets, Pfizer maintains a strong financial position. Due to our significant operating cash flows, financial assets, access to capital markets and available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements, we continue to believe that we have the ability to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Our long-term debt is rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service. As market conditions change, we continue to monitor our liquidity position. We have taken and will continue to take a conservative approach to our financial investments. Both short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of high-quality, highly liquid, well-diversified, available-for-sale debt securities. For further discussion of our financial condition, see the “Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A.

These and other industry-wide factors that may affect our businesses should be considered along with information presented in the “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results” section of this MD&A; in Part II, Item 1A., “Risk Factors”, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Our Strategy

We believe that our medicines provide significant value for both healthcare providers and patients, not only from the improved treatment of diseases but also from a reduction in other healthcare costs, such as emergency room or hospitalization costs, as well as improvements in health, wellness and productivity. We continue to actively engage in dialogues about the value of our products and how we can best work with patients, physicians and payers to prevent and treat disease and improve outcomes. We will work within the current legal and pricing structures, as well as continue to review our pricing arrangements and contracting methods with payers, to maximize access to patients and minimize any adverse impact on our revenues.

On November 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our Nutrition business to Nestlé. On February 6, 2013, an IPO of a 19.8% ownership interest in Zoetis was completed. We may in the future make a tax-free distribution to our shareholders of all or a portion of our remaining equity interest in Zoetis, which may include one or more distributions effected as a dividend to all Pfizer shareholders, one or more distributions in exchange for Pfizer shares or other securities, or any combination thereof. We are considering all alternatives to maximize the after-tax return for our shareholders, including a tax-free distribution to our shareholders. If pursued, any disposition would be subject to various conditions, including receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals and the existence of satisfactory market conditions.

If we decide to fully separate Zoetis, then, following such separation, Pfizer will be a global biopharmaceutical company with an innovative core and a value core in developed markets, with different cost structures and operating drivers. The innovative core objective is to generate growth, sustained by our R&D investments. The value core objective is to generate strong cash

52


flow, albeit with less revenue growth. The value core also provides us with the potential to capitalize on our experience in biologic development, manufacturing and commercialization, which provide us with a competitive advantage in the bio-therapeutics marketplace. Our Emerging Markets unit has a geographic focus that includes both the innovative and value cores in those markets. We will continue to assess whether the performance in emerging markets can be optimized by operating with separate innovative and value organizations. The innovative core includes a portfolio of innovative, largely patent-protected, in-line products and an research and development organization focused on continuing to build a robust pipeline of highly differentiated product candidates in areas of unmet medical needs. The value core includes a portfolio of products that have lost exclusivity or are approaching the loss of exclusivity that help meet the global need for less expensive, quality medicines. In addition, we have a complementary Consumer Healthcare business with several well-known brands.

In response to the challenging operating environment, we have taken and continue to take many steps to strengthen our Company and better position ourselves for the future. We believe in a comprehensive approach to our challenges—organizing our business to maximize research, development and commercial opportunities, improving the performance of our innovative core, making the right capital allocation decisions, and protecting our intellectual property.

We continue to transform our global research and development organization and pursue strategies intended to improve innovation and overall productivity in R&D with the goal/objective of building a sustainable pipeline that will deliver value in the near term and over time. Our R&D priorities include: delivering a pipeline of differentiated therapies with the greatest scientific and commercial promise, innovating new capabilities that can position Pfizer for long-term leadership and creating new models for biomedical collaboration that will expedite the pace of innovation and the system's overall productivity. To that end, our research primarily focuses on five high-priority areas that have a mix of small molecules and large molecules—immunology and inflammation; oncology; cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; neuroscience and pain; and vaccines. For additional information, see the “Costs and Expenses—Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A.

While a significant portion of R&D is done internally, we continue to seek to expand our pipeline by entering into agreements with other companies to develop, license or acquire promising compounds, technologies or capabilities. Collaboration, alliance and license agreements and acquisitions allow us to capitalize on these compounds to expand our pipeline of potential future products. In addition, collaborations and alliances allow us to share risk and to access external scientific and technological expertise.

For information about our pending new drug applications (NDA) and supplemental filings, see the “Revenues—Product Developments—Biopharmaceutical” section of this MD&A.

We continue to build on our broad portfolio of businesses through various business development transactions. See the “Our Business Development Initiatives” section of this MD&A for information on our recent transactions and strategic investments that we believe complement our businesses.

We continue to aggressively defend our patent rights against increasingly aggressive infringement whenever appropriate (see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies), and we will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights while taking necessary steps to ensure appropriate patient access. In addition, we will continue to employ innovative approaches to prevent counterfeit pharmaceuticals from entering the supply chain and to achieve greater control over the distribution of our products, and we will continue to participate in the generics market for our products, whenever appropriate, once they lose exclusivity.

We remain focused on achieving an appropriate cost structure for the Company. For information regarding our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, see the “Costs and Expenses—Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A.

Our strategy also includes directly enhancing shareholder value through dividends and share repurchases. See the “Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Share-Purchase Plans and Dividends on Common Stock” sections of this MD&A for more information.

Our Business Development Initiatives

We are committed to capitalizing on growth opportunities by advancing our own pipeline and maximizing the value of our in-line products, as well as through various forms of business development, which can include alliances, licenses, joint ventures, dispositions and acquisitions. We view our business development activity as an enabler of our strategies, and we seek to generate profitable revenue growth and enhance shareholder value by pursuing a disciplined, strategic and financial approach to evaluating business development opportunities. We are especially interested in opportunities in our high-priority therapeutic areas––immunology and inflammation; oncology; cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; neuroscience and pain; and vaccines––and in emerging markets and established products. We assess our businesses and assets as part of our regular, ongoing portfolio review process and also continue to consider business development activities for our businesses.

The most significant recent transactions and events are described below.
On April 29, 2013, Pfizer announced that it entered into a worldwide, except Japan, collaboration agreement with Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) for the development and commercialization of Pfizer's ertugliflozin (PF-04971729), an investigational oral sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 2C. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Collaborative Arrangement.
On February 6, 2013, an IPO of the Class A common stock of Zoetis was completed, pursuant to which we sold 99.015 million shares of the Class A common stock of Zoetis in exchange for the retirement of approximately $2.5 billion of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2013. The shares of Class A common stock sold in the IPO represented approximately 19.8% of the total outstanding Zoetis shares. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures and Note 6. Certain Changes in Total Equity.
On September 6, 2012, we and Zhejang Hisun Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. formed a new company, Hisun Pfizer to develop, manufacture, market and sell pharmaceutical products, primarily branded generic products, predominately in China. On January 1, 2013, we contributed assets constituting a business to this 49%-owned equity-method investment and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $490 million in Other deductions––net. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.
On November 30, 2012, we completed the sale of our Nutrition business to Nestlé for $11.85 billion in cash. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures.
On November 27, 2012, we completed our acquisition of NextWave Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NextWave), a privately held, specialty pharmaceutical company. As a result of the acquisition, Pfizer now holds exclusive North American rights to Quillivant XR™ (methylphenidate hydrochloride), the first once-daily liquid medication approved in the U.S. for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $442 million. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2A. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Acquisitions.
On October 31, 2012, our equity-method investee, ViiV Healthcare Limited (ViiV), acquired the remaining 50% of Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare LLC, its equity-method investee, from Shionogi & Co., Ltd. (Shionogi) in consideration for a 10% interest in ViiV (newly issued shares) and contingent consideration in the form of future royalties.
On August 13, 2012, we announced that we entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca for the global over-the-counter (OTC) rights for Nexium, a leading prescription drug currently approved to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We made an upfront payment of $250 million to AstraZeneca, and AstraZeneca is eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $550 million based on product launches and level of sales as well as royalty payments based on sales. A marketing authorization application for OTC Nexium in a 20mg tablet form was filed with the European Medicines Agency in June 2012. A new drug application filing for OTC Nexium in the U.S. in a 20mg delayed-release capsule is targeted for the first half of 2013.
On March 12, 2012, Biocon and Pfizer announced the conclusion of their October 18, 2010 alliance to commercialize Biocon’s biosimilar versions of insulin and insulin analog products. The companies agreed that, due to the individual priorities for their respective biosimilars businesses, each company would move forward independently.
On February 26, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Alacer Corp. (Alacer), a company that manufactures, markets and distributes Emergen-C, a line of effervescent, powdered drink mix vitamin supplements that is the largest-selling branded vitamin C line in the U.S.

54


On December 1, 2011, we completed our acquisition of the consumer healthcare business of Ferrosan Holding A/S (Ferrosan), a Danish company engaged in the sale of science-based consumer healthcare products, including dietary supplements and lifestyle products, primarily in the Nordic region and the emerging markets of Russia and Central and Eastern Europe. Our acquisition of Ferrosan’s consumer healthcare business strengthens our presence in dietary supplements with a new set of brands and pipeline products.

Our Financial Guidance for 2013

We forecast 2013 revenues of $55.3 billion to $57.3 billion, Reported diluted earnings per common share (EPS) of $1.44 to $1.59 and Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.14 to $2.24. The current exchange rates assumed in connection with the 2013 financial guidance are a blend of the actual exchange rates in effect during the first three months of 2013 and the mid-April 2013 exchange rates for the remainder of the year. For an understanding of Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS (both non-GAAP financial measures), see the “Adjusted Income” section of this MD&A.

Revenues and expenses of Zoetis continue to be included in the 2013 financial guidance, except that Adjusted and Reported net income guidance and Adjusted and Reported diluted EPS guidance exclude the earnings attributable to the 19.8% divested interest effective February 7, 2013. The financial guidance has been updated since January 2013 to reflect the following:
Reported Revenues: The changes in foreign exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar from mid-January 2013 to mid-April 2013, notably the weakening of the Japanese yen.
Adjusted Diluted EPS: The aforementioned changes in foreign exchange rates ($0.04 per share), as well as the impact of the Zoetis IPO ($0.02 per share) noted above.
Reported Diluted EPS: The aforementioned changes in foreign exchange rates and the impact of the Zoetis IPO, as well as the gain associated with the transfer of certain product rights to Hisun Pfizer, our equity-method investment in China, partially offset by an asset impairment charge.
The following table provides a reconciliation of 2013 Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS guidance to the 2013 Reported net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. and Reported diluted EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders guidance:

Biopharmaceutical Revenues
 
Worldwide revenues from biopharmaceutical products were $11.5 billion for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 12% compared to the first quarter in 2012 primarily due to:
the decrease in operational revenues of approximately $1.1 billion due to the loss of exclusivity of various products in certain markets, including a decrease of $792 million in operational revenues from branded Lipitor;
multi-source generic competition in the U.S. for atorvastatin beginning in late May 2012;
lower operational Alliance revenues of approximately $160 million, from Aricept due to the loss of exclusivity in the majority of European markets and the return of our rights to Aricept in Japan to Eisai Co., Ltd., and from Spiriva due to the 2012 final-year terms of our collaboration agreements in certain European countries, Canada and Australia, partially offset by an increase of approximately $60 million in operational revenues from Enbrel and Rebif;
the timing of government purchases of Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 in various markets; and
the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $113 million, or 1%,
partially offset by:
an increase in operational revenues in developed markets for certain biopharmaceutical products, particularly Lyrica, Inlyta and Xalkori; and
an increase in operational revenues in the Emerging Markets unit related to various products.


56


Geographically,
in the U.S., revenues from biopharmaceutical products decreased 13% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily reflecting lower revenues from Lipitor, Revatio, Detrol/Detrol LA and Geodon, all due to loss of exclusivity; and lower revenues from Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13, Zosyn, atorvastatin and Viagra. The impact of these adverse factors was partially offset by the strong performance of certain other biopharmaceutical products and lower reductions related to rebates.
in our international markets, revenues from biopharmaceutical products decreased 11% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor in most of developed Europe and Australia, Xalatan/Xalacom in the majority of European markets and in Australia, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of 2%. Operationally, revenues decreased 9% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. In addition to Lipitor and Xalatan/Xalacom, the decrease in operational revenues was driven by Detrol/Detrol LA and Aricept, both due to loss of exclusivity in certain markets, as well as lower Alliance revenues, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Aricept in many major European markets and the return of our rights to Aricept in Japan to Eisai Co., Ltd., and lower revenues for Spiriva in certain European countries, Canada and Australia (reflecting the final-year terms in 2012 of our Spiriva collaboration agreements relating to those countries), as well as lower revenues for Prevnar/Prevenar (7-valent). The impact of these adverse factors was partially offset by the operational growth of Lyrica, Inlyta and Xalkori.
During the first quarter of 2013, international revenues from biopharmaceutical products represented 61% of total revenues from biopharmaceutical products, compared to 60% in the first quarter of 2012.

Primary Care Operating Segment
Primary Care unit revenues decreased 21% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting lower operational revenues of 20%, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor and the resulting shift in the reporting of Lipitor revenues in developed Europe and Australia to the Established Products unit beginning January 1, 2013, as well as the loss of exclusivity of Aricept and the near-term expiration of certain co-promotion agreements for Spiriva, partially offset by the strong performance of Lyrica in the U.S. and developed Europe, and the growth of Celebrex and Pristiq in the U.S.
Collectively, the decline in revenues in developed markets for Lipitor and for certain other Primary Care unit products that lost exclusivity in various markets in 2012, as well as the resulting shift in the reporting of certain product revenues to the Established Products unit, reduced Primary Care unit revenues by approximately $900 million, or 22%, in comparison with the first quarter of 2012.

Specialty Care and Oncology Operating Segment
Specialty Care unit revenues decreased 12% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to lower operational revenues of 11%, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. The decline in operational revenues was primarily due to lower Prevnar revenue in the U.S., mainly due to the timing of U.S. government purchases, and the losses of exclusivity and the resulting shift in the reporting of Geodon and Revatio revenues in the U.S. and Xalatan/Xalacom revenues in the developed Europe and Australia to the Established Product unit beginning January 1, 2013. Collectively, these developments reduced Specialty Care unit revenues by $442 million, or 12%, in comparison with the first quarter of 2012. The decline in operational revenues was partially offset by the growth of Enbrel in the U.S.
Oncology unit revenues increased 29% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting higher operational revenues of 31%, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of 2%. Operational revenues were favorably impacted by the recent launches of new products, most notably Inlyta and Xalkori in several major markets, partially offset by the decline in Sutent revenues in the U.S., EU and Japan, due to increased competition in those markets, as well as cost containment measures in the EU and Japan and some conversion from Sutent to Inlyta in Japan due to broader label in Japan.

Established Products and Emerging Markets Operating Segment
Established Products unit revenues decreased 16% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due to lower operational revenues of 15%, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. The decrease in Established Products unit operational revenues in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to multi-source generic competition in the U.S. for Lipitor beginning in late May 2012, as well as continuing competitive and pricing pressures. The decrease was partially offset by revenues from products in certain markets that were shifted to the Established Products unit from other business units beginning January 1, 2013.
Emerging Markets unit revenues increased 5% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, due to higher operational revenues of 6%, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. The increase in Emerging Markets unit operational revenues in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to strong volume growth in China,

57


which was partially offset by the timing of government purchases of Enbrel and the Prevenar franchise in certain emerging markets as well as the transfer of certain products rights to our equity-method investment in China.
Total revenues from established products in both the Established Products and Emerging Markets units were $3.4 billion, with $1.0 billion generated in emerging markets in the first quarter of 2013.

Other Product Revenues

Animal Health Operating Segment (Zoetis)
Animal Health (Zoetis) revenues increased 5% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting higher operational revenues of 6%, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Operational revenues from Animal Health (Zoetis) products were favorably impacted by the solid performance in both the livestock and companion animal portfolios.

Consumer Healthcare Operating Segment
Consumer Healthcare unit revenues increased 12% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting higher operational revenues of 12%. The operational revenue increase was primarily due to the addition of Emergen-C from the acquisition of Alacer, as well as solid growth of key products, including Advil and Robitussin, partially due to a severe cold and flu season in the U.S.

Rebates and Chargebacks

As is typical in the biopharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions, that generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized and primarily represent rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers, distributors and managed care organizations with respect to our pharmaceutical products. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, judgment and knowledge of market conditions and practice are required when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, our adjustments to actual results have not been material to our overall business. On a quarterly basis, our adjustments to actual results generally have been less than 1% of biopharmaceutical net sales and can result in either a net increase or a net decrease in income. Product-specific rebate charges, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product growth trends.
The following table provides information about certain deductions from revenues:

(a) 
Rebates are product-specific and, therefore, for any given year are impacted by the mix of products sold.
(b) 
Performance-based contract rebates include contract rebates with managed care customers within the U.S., including health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit managers, who receive rebates based on the achievement of contracted performance terms and claims under these contracts. Outside of the U.S., performance-based contract rebates include rebates to wholesalers/distributors based on achievement of contracted performance for specific products or sales milestones.
(c) 
Chargebacks primarily represent reimbursements to wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties.
(d) 
Sales allowances primarily represent pharmaceutical rebates, discounts and price reductions that are contractual or legislatively mandated outside of the U.S.

The total rebates and chargebacks for the first quarter of 2013 were lower compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of:
the impact of decreased Medicare and Medicaid rebates for certain products that have lost exclusivity;
changes in product mix; and
the impact on chargebacks of decreased sales for certain products that have lost exclusivity,

58


partially offset by, among other factors:
an increase in chargebacks for our branded products as a result of increasing competitive pressures, and increasing sales for certain generic products sold by our Greenstone unit that are subject to chargebacks; and
an increase in performance rebates in a number of European markets and China as a result of competitive factors and contract arrangements.

Our accruals for Medicaid rebates, Medicare rebates, performance-based contract rebates, sales allowances and chargebacks were $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2013, and $3.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, and substantially all are included in Other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Biopharmaceutical––Selected Product Descriptions

Lyrica is indicated for the management of post-herpetic neuralgia, neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the management of fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury, and as adjunctive therapy for adult patients with partial onset seizures in the U.S. For certain countries outside the U.S., Lyrica is indicated for neuropathic pain (peripheral and central), the management of fibromyalgia, adjunctive treatment of epilepsy and general anxiety disorder. Lyrica recorded an increase in worldwide revenues of 12% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Internationally, Lyrica revenues increased 12% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, with the growth due to a focus on enhancing the neuropathic pain diagnosis and treatment rates, the successful re-launch of the general anxiety disorder indication in the EU and physician education regarding neuropathic pain in Japan. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on international revenues of 2% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. In the U.S., revenues increased 11% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Notwithstanding these increases, U.S. revenues continue to be affected by increased competition from generic versions of competitive medicines, as well as managed care pricing and formulary pressures.
Enbrel, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis affecting the spine, recorded a decrease in worldwide revenues, excluding the U.S. and Canada, of 2% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and the timing of government purchases of Enbrel in certain emerging markets, partially offset by the overall growth in the anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologic market.
Under our co-promotion agreement with Amgen Inc. (Amgen), we co-promote Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada and share in the profits from Enbrel sales in those countries, which we include in Alliance revenues. Our co-promotion agreement with Amgen will expire in October 2013, and, subject to the terms of the agreement, we are entitled to a royalty stream for 36 months thereafter, which we expect will be significantly less than our current share of Enbrel profits from U.S. and Canadian sales. Following the end of the royalty period, we will not be entitled to any further revenues from Enbrel sales in the U.S. and Canada. Our exclusive rights to Enbrel outside the U.S. and Canada will not be affected by the expiration of the co-promotion agreement with Amgen.
Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 is our 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for the prevention of various syndromes of pneumococcal disease in infants and young children and in adults 50 years of age and older. Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 for use in infants and young children is marketed in the U.S. for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the 13 serotypes in Prevnar 13 and otitis media caused by the seven serotypes in Prevnar, and in the EU and many other international markets for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease, otitis media and pneumococcal pneumonia caused by the vaccine serotypes. In 2011, we received approval of Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 for use in adults 50 years of age and older in the U.S. for the prevention of pneumococcal pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the 13 serotypes in Prevnar 13, and in the EU for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the vaccine serotypes. To date, Prevenar 13 for use in adults 50 years of age and older has been approved in over 85 countries and launched in over 55 countries. On January 25, 2013, the U.S. FDA granted approval for the expansion of Prevnar 13 for use in children ages 6 to 17 years for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by the 13 vaccine serotypes. EU approval for use in children 6 to 17 years of age was received on January 7, 2013. Worldwide revenues for Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 decreased 10% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. In the U.S., revenues for Prevnar 13 decreased 19% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of the timing of government purchases.
We currently are conducting the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA) to fulfill requirements in connection with the FDA’s approval of the Prevnar 13 adult indication under its accelerated approval program. CAPiTA is an efficacy trial involving subjects 65 years of age and older that is designed to evaluate whether Prevnar 13 is effective in preventing the first episode of community-acquired pneumonia caused by the serotypes contained in the vaccine. We estimate that this event-driven trial will be completed in the second half of 2013. At its regular meeting held on February 22, 2012, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) indicated that it will defer voting on a recommendation for the routine use of Prevnar 13 in adults 50 years of age and older until the results of CAPiTA, as well as data on the impact of pediatric use of Prevnar 13 on the disease

burden and serotype distribution among adults, are available. The rate of uptake for the use of Prevnar 13 in adults 50 years of age and older has been impacted by ACIP’s decision to defer voting on a recommendation for the routine use of Prevnar 13 in that population. At its regular meeting held on June 20, 2012, ACIP voted to recommend the use of Prevnar 13 for adults 19 years of age and older with immuno-compromising conditions such as HIV infections, cancer, advanced kidney disease and other immuno-compromising conditions. This recommendation is based on the disproportionate burden of invasive pneumococcal disease in this patient population.
Celebrex, indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis worldwide and for the management of acute pain in adults in the U.S., Japan and certain markets in the EU, recorded an increase in worldwide revenues of 3% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Strong operational performance in the U.S. was primarily driven by price increases, as well as strong market growth, partially offset by continued volume erosion due to ongoing generic pressures and higher rebates. However, Celebrex continued to slow the rate of volume erosion due to strong direct-to-consumer and field force promotion. Strong operational performance in international markets was driven by growth in Japan in the low back pain indication and in emerging markets in the rheumatology and orthopedic sectors, partially offset by lower developed Europe revenues in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Celebrex is supported by continued educational and promotional efforts highlighting its efficacy and safety profile for appropriate patients.
Lipitor is for the treatment of elevated LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood. Branded Lipitor recorded worldwide revenues of $626 million, a decrease of 55%, in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012 due to:
the impact of loss of exclusivity in Japan in June 2011 (with generic competition occurring in November 2011), the U.S. (with generic competition occurring in November 2011 and multi-source generic competition occurring in May 2012), Australia in April 2012 and most of developed Europe in March 2012 and May 2012;
the continuing impact of an intensely competitive lipid-lowering market with competition from generics and branded products worldwide; and
increased payer pressure worldwide, including the need for flexible rebate policies.

Geographically,
in the U.S., branded Lipitor revenues were $171 million, a decrease of 55% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012; and
in our international markets, branded Lipitor revenues were $455 million, a decrease of 55% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on international revenues of $6 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenues from sales of generic atorvastatin also declined in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the year-ago quarter. Revenues from those sales are included in “All other” in the major biopharmaceutical products table above.

See the “Our Operating Environment” section of this MD&A for a discussion concerning losses of exclusivity for Lipitor in various markets.
Viagra is indicated for the treatment for erectile dysfunction. Viagra worldwide revenues decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. U.S. revenues decreased 9% in the first quarter 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to lower prescription volume and increased chargebacks. International revenues decreased 5% compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to branded and generic competitive pressure in developed Europe, developed markets and emerging markets, due to the impact of herbal and generic competition.
Zyvox is the world’s best-selling branded agent among those used to treat serious Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant staphylococcus-aureus. Zyvox worldwide revenues increased 5% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to growth in developed markets overall and emerging markets.
Sutent is indicated for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC); gastrointestinal stromal tumors after disease progression on, or intolerance to, imatinib mesylate; and advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Sutent worldwide revenues increased 1% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to increases in uptake in key emerging markets, most notably China, Brazil and Poland, which more than offset decreases in developed markets due to increased competition, cost containment measures in the EU and Japan, as well as some conversion from Sutent to Inlyta in Japan due to broader label in Japan.
Norvasc, for treating hypertension, lost exclusivity in the U.S. and other major markets in 2007 and in Canada in 2009. Norvasc worldwide revenues decreased 10% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Our Premarin family of products helps women address moderate-to-severe menopausal symptoms. It recorded a decrease in worldwide revenues of 7% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. U.S. revenues decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily driven by volume declines of Premarin/Prempro due to generic competition, as well as increased rebates, partially offset by volume growth of Premarin Vaginal Cream and a price increase in January 2013. Internationally, revenues were relatively flat compared to the same period in 2012.
Genotropin, one of the world’s leading human growth hormones, is used in children for the treatment of short stature with growth hormone deficiency, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Small for Gestational Age Syndrome, Idiopathic Short Stature (in the U.S. only) and Chronic Renal Insufficiency (outside the U.S. only), as well as in adults with growth hormone deficiency. Genotropin is supported by a broad platform of innovative injection-delivery devices and patient-support programs. Genotropin worldwide revenues decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.
BeneFIX and ReFacto AF/Xyntha are hemophilia products using state-of-the-art manufacturing that assist patients with their lifelong bleeding disorders. BeneFIX is the only available recombinant factor IX product for the treatment of hemophilia B, while ReFacto AF/Xyntha is a recombinant factor VIII product for the treatment of hemophilia A. Both products are indicated for the control and prevention of bleeding in patients with these disorders and in some countries are also indicated for prophylaxis in certain situations, such as surgery. BeneFIX recorded an increase in worldwide revenues of 3% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of increases in the U.S. due to a launch of the new 3000 International Unit vial and price increases. ReFacto AF/Xyntha recorded an increase in worldwide revenues of 5% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, driven by the successful transition of patients to Xyntha as a result of securing a government contract in Australia, continued patient conversion to Xyntha in the U.S., as well as the successful launch of the ReFacto AF dual chamber syringe in several European countries.
Vfend is a broad-spectrum agent for treating yeast and molds. Vfend worldwide revenues increased 5% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. International revenues increased 11% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased market share in Japan. Revenues in the U.S. decreased 32% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Vfend tablets and the launch of generic voriconazole (generic Vfend) in February 2011.
Chantix/Champix is an aid to smoking-cessation treatment in adults 18 years of age and older. Chantix/Champix worldwide revenues decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to negative media exposure across several key markets and macro-economic decline, which decreased patient willingness to pay out of pocket. We are continuing our educational and promotional efforts, which are focused on addressing the significant health consequences of smoking, highlighting the Chantix/Champix benefit-risk proposition, emphasizing the importance of the physician-patient dialogue in helping patients quit smoking and identifying alternative treatment-funding models.
Pristiq is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in the U.S. and in various other countries. Pristiq has also been approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause in Thailand, Mexico, the Philippines and Ecuador. Pristiq recorded an increase in worldwide revenues of 10% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to prescription growth in Canada and Australia and, in the U.S., lower contract rebates and a price increase.
Detrol/Detrol LA, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, is one of the leading branded medicines worldwide for overactive bladder. Detrol LA is an extended-release formulation taken once a day. Detrol/Detrol LA worldwide revenues decreased 23% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to loss of exclusivity for Detrol IR and Detrol LA in the EU in 2012 and the launch of Detrol IR generics in the U.S. in 2012. Generic competition for Detrol LA in the U.S. is expected in the first quarter of 2014.
Xalabrands consists of Xalatan, a prostaglandin, which is a branded agent used to reduce elevated eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and Xalacom, a fixed combination prostaglandin (Xalatan) and beta blocker (timolol) available outside the U.S. Xalatan/Xalacom worldwide revenues decreased 35% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Lower revenues were due primarily to the loss of exclusivity in the U.S. in March 2011 and in the majority of European markets in January 2012.
Revatio is for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Worldwide revenues decreased 47% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were impacted by the loss of exclusivity for Revatio tablet in the U.S. in September 2012. Revatio intravenous injection will lose exclusivity in the U.S. in May 2013.
Inlyta, for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of a prior systemic treatment, is approved in the U.S. (January 2012), Switzerland, Japan (June 2012), Canada, Australia, South Korea, the EU (September

62


2012) and some emerging markets, (exact indications vary by region). Inlyta recorded worldwide revenues of $63 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Xalkori, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test, was approved by the FDA in August 2011. In developed markets, Xalkori has also been approved in Japan, South Korea, Canada and Switzerland, and it received conditional marketing authorization in the EU in October 2012. In addition, it has been approved in China, Russia, Mexico, India and Turkey, as well as other emerging markets, and has been filed in a number of other countries, including Brazil. Xalkori recorded worldwide revenues of $53 million in the first quarter of 2013, with 53% of those revenues generated in the U.S.
Xeljanz was approved in the U.S. in November 2012 and in Japan in March 2013 for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate, to be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Xeljanz recorded worldwide revenues of $11 million in the first quarter of 2013. See the “Research and Development—Product Developments—Biopharmaceutical” section of this MD&A for a discussion of the status of the regulatory submission for Xeljanz (tofacitinib) in the EU.
Alliance revenues worldwide decreased 11% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, mainly due to the loss of exclusivity for Aricept 5mg and 10mg tablets in the U.S. in November 2010 and the entry of multi-source generic competition in the U.S. in May 2011, as well as the loss of exclusivity in many major European markets in February 2012, and lower revenues for Spiriva in certain European countries, Canada and Australia due to the expiration of our collaboration with BI in those countries, partially offset by the strong performance of Enbrel and Rebif in the U.S. We expect that the Aricept 23mg tablet will have exclusivity in the U.S. until July 2013. See the “The Industry-Specific Challenges” section of this MD&A for a discussion regarding the expiration of various contract rights relating to Aricept, Spiriva, Enbrel and Rebif. Eliquis (apixaban) is being jointly developed and commercialized by Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). In 2012, Eliquis (apixaban) was approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the 27 countries of the EU, plus Iceland and Norway, Canada, Japan and the U.S. To date, we have launched Eliquis in the U.S., UK, Germany, Denmark and Japan. The two companies share commercialization expenses and profit/losses equally on a global basis.
Embeda—The required stability programs are underway, and we are working toward a submission with the FDA in 2013.

Research and Development

Research and Development Operations

Innovation is critical to the success of our company and drug discovery and development is time-consuming, expensive and unpredictable, particularly for human health products. As a result, and also because we are predominately a human health company, the vast majority of our R&D spending is associated with human health products, compounds and activities.
The following table provides information by operating segment about our R&D expenses (see also Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 13. Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information):

(a) 
Our operating segments, in addition to their sales and marketing responsibilities, are responsible for certain development activities. Generally, these responsibilities relate to additional indications for in-line products and in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects that have achieved proof-of-concept. R&D spending may include upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights.
(b) 
Includes the Animal Health operating segment (Zoetis) and the Consumer Healthcare operating segment.
(c) 
Worldwide Research and Development is generally responsible for human health research projects until proof-of-concept is achieved, and then for transitioning those projects to the appropriate business unit for possible clinical and commercial development. R&D spending may include upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights. This organization also has responsibility for certain science-based and other platform-services organizations, which provide technical expertise and other services to the various R&D projects. Worldwide Research and Development is also responsible for all human-health-related regulatory submissions and interactions with regulatory agencies, including all safety event activities. Pfizer Medical is responsible for quality assurance and regulatory compliance activities, which include conducting clinical trial audits and readiness reviews. The decrease in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 results from cost savings associated with the R&D productivity initiative announced on February 1, 2011 (see the “Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A).
(d) 
Corporate and other includes unallocated costs, primarily facility costs, information technology, share-based compensation, and restructuring-related costs. The decrease in the first quarter of 2013 primarily results from lower charges relating to implementing our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives (see the “Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A).

Product Developments—Biopharmaceutical
 
We continue to invest in R&D to provide potential future sources of revenues through the development of new products, as well as through additional uses for in-line and alliance products. Notwithstanding our efforts, there are no assurances as to when, or if, we will receive regulatory approval for additional indications for existing products or any of our other products in development.

We continue to transform our global research and development organization and pursue strategies intended to improve innovation and overall productivity in R&D with the goal/objective of building a sustainable pipeline that will deliver value in the near term and over time. Our R&D priorities include: delivering a pipeline of differentiated therapies with the greatest scientific and commercial promise, innovating new capabilities that can position Pfizer for long-term leadership and creating new models for biomedical collaboration that will expedite the pace of innovation and the system's overall productivity. To that end, our research primarily focuses on five high-priority areas that have a mix of small molecules and large molecules—immunology and inflammation; oncology; cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; neuroscience and pain; and vaccines.

Our development pipeline, which is updated quarterly, can be found at www.pfizer.com/pipeline. It includes an overview of our research and a list of compounds in development with targeted indication, phase of development and, for late-stage programs, mechanism of action. The information currently in our development pipeline is accurate as of May 9, 2013.

The following series of tables provides information about significant regulatory actions by, and filings pending with, the FDA and regulatory authorities in the EU and Japan, as well as additional indications and new drug candidates in late-stage development.

* The dates set forth in this column are the dates on which the FDA accepted our submissions.
(a) 
In May 2012, the FDA's Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee voted that the tafamidis meglumine data provide substantial evidence of efficacy for a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit. In June 2012, the FDA issued a “complete response” letter with respect to the tafamidis NDA. The FDA has requested the completion of a second efficacy study and also has asked for additional information on the data within the current tafamidis NDA. We are continuing to work with the FDA to define a path forward.
(b) 
In April 2010, we received a “complete response” letter from the FDA for the Genotropin Mark VII multidose disposable device submission. In August 2010, we submitted our response to address the requests and recommendations included in the FDA letter. In April 2011, we received a second “complete response” letter from the FDA, requesting additional information. We are working to address the FDA's requests for additional information.
(c) 
In June 2010, we received a “complete response” letter from the FDA for the Celebrex chronic pain supplemental NDA. The supplemental NDA remains pending while we await the completion of ongoing studies to determine next steps.
(d) 
In 2005, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) entered into an agreement with Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (PT) to develop and commercialize Remoxy. In August 2008, the FDA accepted the NDA for Remoxy that had been submitted by King and PT. In December 2008, the FDA issued a “complete response” letter. In March 2009, King exercised its right under the agreement with PT to assume sole control and responsibility for the development of Remoxy. In December 2010, King resubmitted the NDA for Remoxy with the FDA. In June 2011, we and PT announced that a “complete response” letter was received from the FDA with regard to the resubmission of the NDA. We have been working to address the issues raised in the letter, which primarily relate to manufacturing. We met with the FDA in March 2013 to discuss our plan to address the June 2011 "complete response" letter. We received written guidance from the FDA in May regarding required next steps, including additional clinical studies, to address the letter. Based on that guidance, we are considering our options with respect to Remoxy. If we elect to continue development of Remoxy, we would not expect to submit a response to the “complete response” letter before mid-2015.
(e) 
Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), our alliance partner, holds the NDAs for Spiriva Handihaler and Spiriva Respimat. In September 2008, BI received a “complete response” letter from the FDA for the Spiriva Respimat submission. The FDA is seeking additional data, and we are coordinating with BI, which is working with the FDA to provide the additional information. A full response will be submitted to the FDA upon the completion of planned and ongoing studies.
(f) 
Two “approvable” letters were received by Wyeth in April and December 2007 from the FDA for Viviant (bazedoxifene), for the prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis, that set forth the additional requirements for approval. In May 2008, Wyeth received an “approvable” letter from the FDA for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. The FDA is seeking additional data, and we have been systematically working through these requirements and seeking to address the FDA's concerns. In February 2008, the FDA advised Wyeth that it expects to convene an advisory committee to review the pending NDAs for both the treatment and prevention indications after we submit our response to the “approvable” letters. If and when our NDA for bazedoxifene-conjugated estrogens is approved by the FDA, we will reassess the next steps regarding our NDAs for Viviant. In April 2009, Wyeth received approval in the EU for CONBRIZA (the EU trade name for Viviant) for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis in women at increased risk of fracture. Viviant was also approved in Japan in July 2010 for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis and in South Korea in November 2011 for the treatment and prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis.

Tanezumab(a)
An anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibody for the treatment of pain (on clinical hold)
(a) 
The FDA's partial clinical hold placed on nerve growth factor (NGF) inhibitors in 2010 due to adverse events involving joint destruction was lifted completely from the tanezumab program for all indications in August 2012 as a result of a submission by Pfizer to the FDA in July 2012. In December 2012, the FDA placed a new partial clinical hold on the development of NGF inhibitors, including tanezumab. The partial clinical hold was based on peripheral nervous system effects observed in animal studies conducted with NGF inhibitors by other companies. Current and future studies of tanezumab in cancer pain are not affected by this partial clinical hold. We are working with the FDA to determine the appropriate path forward.

Additional product-related programs are in various stages of discovery and development. Also, see the discussion in the “Our Business Development Initiatives” section of this MD&A.

SI&A expenses decreased 10% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to:
savings generated from a reduction in the field force, partly in response to product losses of exclusivity;
more streamlined corporate support functions; and
the favorable impact of foreign exchange of 1%.

We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example:
In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and
In connection with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems.

All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and research and development, as well as groups such as information technology, shared services and corporate operations. Since the acquisition of Wyeth on October 15, 2009, our cost-reduction initiatives announced on January 26, 2009, but not completed as of December 31, 2009, were incorporated into a comprehensive plan to integrate Wyeth’s operations to generate cost savings and to capture synergies across the combined company. In addition, on February 1, 2011, among our ongoing cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we announced a new productivity initiative to accelerate our strategies to improve innovation and productivity in R&D by prioritizing areas that we believe have the greatest scientific and commercial promise, utilizing appropriate risk/return profiles and focusing on areas with the highest potential to deliver value in the near term and over time.

Cost-Reduction Goals

With respect to the January 26, 2009 announcements, and our acquisition of Wyeth on October 15, 2009, in the aggregate, we achieved our cost-reduction goal by the end of 2011, a year earlier than expected, and are continuing to generate cost reductions.

With respect to the R&D productivity initiative announced on February 1, 2011, we met our goal to achieve significant reductions in our annual R&D expenses by the end of 2012. Adjusted R&D expenses were $7.3 billion in 2012, and were $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2013, and we expect adjusted R&D expenses to be approximately $6.5 billion to $7.0 billion in 2013. For an understanding of adjusted R&D expenses, see the “Adjusted Income” section of this MD&A.

In addition to these major initiatives, we continuously monitor our organizations for cost reduction and/or productivity opportunities.

Total Costs

Through March 31, 2013, we incurred approximately $15.0 billion (pre-tax) in cost-reduction and acquisition-related costs (excluding transaction costs) in connection with the aforementioned initiatives. This $15.0 billion is a component of the $15.7 billion (pre-tax) in total restructuring charges incurred from the beginning of our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives in 2005 through March 31, 2013. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives for more information. In 2013, we expect to incur approximately $500-$800 million (after tax) in costs in connection with our ongoing cost-reduction/productivity initiatives and have reflected those costs, as well as the related expected cost reductions of approximately $1.0 billion (pre-tax), in our 2013 financial guidance. See also the “Our Financial Guidance for 2013” section of this MD&A.

Key Activities

The targeted cost reductions were achieved through the following actions, and we continue to generate cost reductions through similar actions:
The closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions Company-wide, including research and development facilities, manufacturing plants, sales offices and other corporate facilities. Among the more significant actions are the following:
Manufacturing: After the acquisition of Wyeth, our manufacturing sites totaled 75. Other acquisitions have added 21 manufacturing sites, and we have subsequently exited 15 sites, resulting in 81 sites supporting continuing operations as of March 31, 2013. Our plant network strategy will result in the exit of a further six sites over the next several years. These site counts exclude five Nutrition business-related manufacturing sites as the Nutrition business was sold in 2012. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Divestitures for more information.
Research and Development: After the acquisition of Wyeth, we operated in 20 R&D sites and announced that we would close a number of sites. We have completed a number of site closures, including our Sandwich, U.K. research and development facility, except for a small presence. In addition, in 2011, we rationalized several other sites to reduce and optimize the overall R&D footprint. We disposed of our toxicology site in Catania, Italy; exited our R&D sites in Aberdeen and Gosport, U.K.; and disposed of a vacant site in St. Louis, MO. We still maintain laboratories in St. Louis, MO, that focus on the areas of biologics and indications discovery. We are presently marketing for sale, lease or sale/lease-back, either a portion of or all of certain of our R&D campuses. Locations with R&D operations are in the U.S., Europe, Canada and China, with five major research sites in addition to a number of specialized units. We also re-prioritized our commitments to disease areas and have discontinued certain therapeutic areas and R&D programs as part of our R&D productivity initiative. Our research primarily focuses on five high-priority areas that have a mix of small and large molecules—immunology and inflammation; oncology; cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; neuroscience and pain; and vaccines.
Workforce reductions across all areas of our business and other organizational changes, primarily in the U.S. field force, manufacturing, R&D and corporate functions. We identified areas for a reduction in workforce across all of our businesses. In January 2009, when Pfizer and Wyeth entered into the merger agreement, the workforce of the two companies totaled approximately 130,000. We exceeded our original target to reduce the combined Pfizer/Wyeth workforce by 15%, or 19,500, within three years. By the end of 2012, we achieved a reduction of 38,500, and by the end of the first quarter of 2013, we achieved a reduction of 40,600. In the first quarter of 2013, the workforce declined by 2,100, from 91,500 to 89,400, primarily in Primary Care and Emerging Markets. The aforementioned workforce reductions include the impact of acquisitions and divestitures subsequent to the Wyeth acquisition.
The increased use of shared services and centers of excellence.
Procurement savings.

Our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 29.6% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 29.2% for the first quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was unfavorably impacted by the non-deductibility of the goodwill derecognized and the jurisdictional mix of the other intangible assets divested as part of the transfer of certain product rights to our equity-method investment in China, largely offset by the change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business, as well as the extension of the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was signed into law in January 2013, resulting in the full-year benefit of the 2012 R&D tax credit and a portion of the 2013 R&D tax credit being recorded in the first quarter of 2013. For additional information about the transfer of certain product rights, see Note 2D. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investment: Equity-Method Investment.

Change in Tax Law
On February 28, 2013, the Governor of Puerto Rico signed into law Act No. 2-2013, amending Sections 2101 and 2102 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, which provided for an excise tax that was effective beginning in 2011 (Act 154). The excise tax is imposed on the purchase of products by multinational corporations and their affiliates from their Puerto Rico affiliates. As originally adopted, the excise tax was to be in effect from 2011 through 2016 and the tax rate was to decline over time from 4% in 2011 to 1% in 2016. Act No. 2-2013 extends the excise tax through 2017 and, effective July 1, 2013, increases the tax rate to 4% for all years through 2017. The impact of Act No. 2-2013 will be recorded in Cost of sales and Provision for taxes on income.

ADJUSTED INCOME

General Description of Adjusted Income Measure

Adjusted income is an alternative view of performance used by management, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted income in order to portray the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of prescription medicines for humans and animals, consumer healthcare (over-the-counter) products, and vaccines––prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined Adjusted income as Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items. The Adjusted income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.

The Adjusted income measure is an important internal measurement for Pfizer. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how the Adjusted income measure is utilized:
senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted income basis;
our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted income basis; and
senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using this Adjusted income measure. Adjusted income is one of the performance metrics utilized in the determination of bonuses under the Pfizer Inc. Executive Annual Incentive Plan that is designed to limit the bonuses payable to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Subject to the Section 162(m) limitation, the bonuses are funded from a pool based on the achievement of three financial metrics, including adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is derived from Adjusted income. This metric accounts for 40% of the bonus pool made available to ELT members and other members of senior management and will constitute a factor in determining each of these individual’s bonus.

Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, Adjusted income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted income measure has limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted income measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of purchased intangibles, and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the biopharmaceutical industry. We also use other specifically tailored tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, the earn-out of Performance Share Award grants is determined based on a formula that measures our performance using relative total shareholder return.

72


Purchase Accounting Adjustments

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant purchase accounting impacts resulting from business combinations and net asset acquisitions. These impacts, primarily associated with Pharmacia (acquired in 2003), Wyeth (acquired in 2009) and King (acquired in 2011), can include the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, amortization related to the increase in fair value of the acquired finite-lived intangible assets, depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of the acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes associated with contingent consideration. Therefore, the Adjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the acquisition cost of those products.

Certain of the purchase accounting adjustments can occur through 20 or more years, but this presentation provides an alternative view of our performance that is used by management to internally assess business performance. We believe the elimination of amortization attributable to acquired intangible assets provides management and investors an alternative view of our business results by trying to provide a degree of parity to internally developed intangible assets for which research and development costs previously have been expensed.

However, a completely accurate comparison of internally developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets cannot be achieved through Adjusted income. This component of Adjusted income is derived solely from the impacts of the items listed in the first paragraph of this section. We have not factored in the impacts of any other differences in experience that might have occurred if we had discovered and developed those intangible assets on our own, and this approach does not intend to be representative of the results that would have occurred in those circumstances. For example, our research and development costs in total, and in the periods presented, may have been different; our speed to commercialization and resulting sales, if any, may have been different; or our costs to manufacture may have been different. In addition, our marketing efforts may have been received differently by our customers. As such, in total, there can be no assurance that our Adjusted income amounts would have been the same as presented had we discovered and developed the acquired intangible assets.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering transaction, integration, restructuring and additional depreciation costs associated with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate two businesses as a result of the acquisition decision. For additional clarity, only transaction costs, additional depreciation and restructuring and integration activities that are associated with a business combination or a net-asset acquisition are included in acquisition-related costs. We have made no adjustments for the resulting synergies.

We believe that viewing income prior to considering these charges provides investors with a useful additional perspective because the significant costs incurred in connection with a business combination result primarily from the need to eliminate duplicate assets, activities or employees––a natural result of acquiring a fully integrated set of activities. For this reason, we believe that the costs incurred to convert disparate systems, to close duplicative facilities or to eliminate duplicate positions (for example, in the context of a business combination) can be viewed differently from those costs incurred in other, more normal, business contexts.

The integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years, with the more significant impacts ending within three years of the transaction. Because of the need for certain external approvals for some actions, the span of time needed to achieve certain restructuring and integration activities can be lengthy. For example, due to the highly regulated nature of the pharmaceutical business, the closure of excess facilities can take several years, as all manufacturing changes are subject to extensive validation and testing and must be approved by the FDA and/or other global regulatory authorities.

Discontinued Operations

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering the results of operations included in discontinued operations, as well as any related gains or losses on the sale of such operations such as the sale of our Nutrition business, which we sold in November 2012. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our businesses and product lines for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our businesses with the intent to sell them. (Restatements due to discontinued operations do not impact compensation or change the Adjusted income measure for the compensation of the restated periods, but are presented here on a restated basis for consistency across all periods.)


73


Certain Significant Items

Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant items. Certain significant items represent substantive, unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. While not all-inclusive, examples of items that could be included as certain significant items would be a major non-acquisition-related restructuring charge and associated implementation costs for a program that is specific in nature with a defined term, such as those related to our non-acquisition-related cost-reduction and productivity initiatives; amounts related to certain disposals of businesses, products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations under U.S. GAAP; amounts associated with transition service agreements in support of discontinued operations after sale; certain intangible asset impairments; adjustments related to the resolution of certain tax positions; the impact of adopting certain significant, event-driven tax legislation; or charges related to certain legal matters, such as certain of those discussed in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Normal, ongoing defense costs of the Company or settlements of and accruals on legal matters made in the normal course of our business would not be considered certain significant items.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Changes in the components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss for the first quarter of 2013 reflect the following:
For Foreign currency translation adjustments, reflects the weakening of several foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, primarily the Japanese yen and the British pound, partially offset by the strengthening of several foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro and the Brazilian real.
For Unrealized holding gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments, reflects the impact of fair value adjustments. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 7. Financial Instruments.

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $2.8 billion in the same period of 2012. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to:
the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor and other products, resulting in lower revenues and associated expenses (see also the “Industry-Specific Challenges” section of this MD&A), partially offset by spending reductions resulting from our company-wide cost-reduction/productivity initiatives; and
the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.

In the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, the line item called Other changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and divestitures, reflects changes in the ordinary course of business for accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and other current and non-current liabilities. For additional information about accounts receivable, see also “Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources: Accounts Receivable” below.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was $10.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $451 million in the same period in 2012. The change in net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was primarily attributable to:
net purchases of investments of $10.8 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net proceeds from redemptions and sales of investments of $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2012,
partially offset by:
cash paid of $782 million, net of cash acquired, for our acquisitions of Alacer and Ferrosan in the first quarter of 2012.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $434 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.5 billion in the same period in 2012. The change in net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities was primarily attributable to:
net proceeds from borrowings of $6.1 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net repayments of borrowings of $233 million in the first quarter of 2012; and
increased proceeds from the exercise of stock options,
largely offset by:

78


purchases of common stock of $4.6 billion in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2012; and
higher cash dividends paid.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We rely largely on operating cash flows, short-term investments, short-term commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide for our liquidity requirements. We believe that we have the ability to obtain both short-term and long-term debt to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. Due to our significant operating cash flows as well as our financial assets, access to capital markets and available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements, we further believe that we have the ability to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, which include:
the working capital requirements of our operations, including our research and development activities;
investments in our business;
dividend payments and potential increases in the dividend rate;
share repurchases;
the cash requirements associated with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives;
paying down outstanding debt;
contributions to our pension and postretirement plans; and
business-development activities.

Our long-term debt is rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's). See the “Credit Ratings” section below. As market conditions change, we continue to monitor our liquidity position. We have taken and will continue to take a conservative approach to our financial investments. Both short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of high-quality, highly liquid, well-diversified, available-for-sale debt securities.

Zoetis Debt Offering and Initial Public Offering (IPO)

On January 28, 2013, our then wholly owned subsidiary, Zoetis, issued $3.65 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, net of an original issue debt discount of $10 million. The notes have a weighted-average effective interest rate of 3.30%, and mature at various dates as follows: 1.15% Notes due 2016 ($400 million); 1.875% Notes due 2018 ($749 million); 3.25% Notes due 2023 ($1.349 billion); and 4.7% Notes due 2043 ($1.142 billion). On February 6, 2013, Zoetis also entered into a commercial paper program with a capacity of up to $1.0 billion; no amounts are currently outstanding under that program.

Also, on January 28, 2013, we transferred to Zoetis substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our Animal Health business in exchange for all of the Class A and Class B common stock of Zoetis, $1.0 billion of the $3.65 billion of Zoetis senior notes, and an amount of cash equal to substantially all of the cash proceeds received by Zoetis from the remaining $2.65 billion of senior notes issued. The $1.0 billion of Zoetis senior notes received by Pfizer were exchanged by Pfizer for the retirement of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2012, and the cash proceeds received by Pfizer of approximately $2.5 billion were restricted to use for debt repayment, dividends and/or stock buybacks.

On February 6, 2013, an IPO of the Class A common stock of Zoetis was completed, pursuant to which we sold 99.015 million shares of Class A common stock of Zoetis in exchange for the retirement of approximately $2.5 billion of Pfizer commercial paper issued in 2013.

In summary, as a result of the above transactions, we received approximately $6.1 billion of cash (of which approximately $2.5 billion was restricted to use for debt repayment, dividends and/or stock buybacks), and incurred approximately $3.65 billion in Zoetis long-term debt. For additional information, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 7D. Financial Instruments: Long-Term Debt.

Domestic and International Short-Term Funds
 
Many of our operations are conducted outside the U.S., and significant portions of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are held internationally. We generally hold approximately 10% to 30% of these short-term funds in U.S. tax jurisdictions. The amount of funds held in U.S. tax jurisdictions can fluctuate due to the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business and due to other reasons, such as business-development activities. As part of our ongoing liquidity assessments, we regularly monitor the mix of domestic and international cash flows (both inflows and outflows). Repatriation of overseas funds can result in additional U.S. federal, state and local income tax payments. We record U.S. deferred tax liabilities for certain unremitted earnings, but when amounts earned overseas are expected to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., no accrual for U.S. taxes is provided.

Accounts Receivable

We continue to monitor developments regarding government and government agency receivables in several European markets where economic conditions remain challenging and uncertain. Historically, payments from a number of these European governments and government agencies extend beyond the contractual terms of sale and the year-over-year trend is worsening.

We believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts is appropriate. Our assessment is based on an analysis of the following: (i) payments received to date; (ii) the consistency of payments from customers; (iii) direct and observed interactions with the governments (including court petitions) and with market participants (for example, the factoring industry); and (iv) various third-party assessments of repayment risk (for example, rating agency publications and the movement of rates for credit default swap instruments).

As of March 31, 2013, we had about $1.3 billion in aggregate gross accounts receivable from governments and/or government agencies in Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland, where economic conditions remain challenging and uncertain. Such receivables in excess of one year from the invoice date, totaling $285 million, were as follows: $116 million in Greece; $112 million in Italy; $28 million in Portugal; $28 million in Spain; and $1 million in Ireland.


80


Although certain European governments and government agencies sometimes delay payments beyond the contractual terms of sale, we seek to appropriately balance repayment risk with the desire to maintain good relationships with our customers and to ensure a humanitarian approach to local patient needs.

We will continue to closely monitor repayment risk and, when necessary, we will continue to adjust our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Our assessments about the recoverability of accounts receivables can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 1C. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions included in our 2012 Financial Report, which was filed as Exhibit 13 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Credit Ratings

Two major corporate debt-rating organizations, Moody’s and S&P, assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and the rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Debt Capacity

Pfizer Inc. and subsidiary companies, excluding Zoetis––We have available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments in excess of commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of March 31, 2013, we had access to $8.8 billion of lines of credit, of which $1.8 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $8.3 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $7.1 billion at our request. Also, $7.0 billion of the unused lines of credit, all of which expire in 2016, may be used to support commercial paper borrowings.

Zoetis––In December 2012, our subsidiary, Zoetis, entered into a revolving credit agreement providing for a five-year $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which became effective in February 2013 and expires in December 2017. Subject to certain conditions, Zoetis has the right to increase the credit facility up to $1.5 billion. In addition, on February 6, 2013, Zoetis entered into a commercial paper program with a capacity of up to $1.0 billion. While no commercial paper has been issued under that commercial paper program, Zoetis may incur indebtedness under that program in the future.

Global Economic Conditions

The challenging economic environment has not had, nor do we anticipate it will have, a significant impact on our liquidity. Due to our significant operating cash flows, financial assets, access to capital markets and available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements, we continue to believe that we have the ability to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. As markets change, we continue to monitor our liquidity position. There can be no assurance that the challenging economic environment or a further economic downturn would not impact our ability to obtain financing in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with a transaction or that are related to activities prior to a transaction. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental, tax, employee and/or product-related matters, and patent-infringement claims. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of March 31, 2013, recorded amounts for the estimated fair value of these indemnifications are not significant.

Certain of our co-promotion or license agreements give our licensors or partners the rights to negotiate for, or in some cases to obtain under certain financial conditions, co-promotion or other rights in specified countries with respect to certain of our products.

Share-Purchase Plans

On December 12, 2011, we announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a $10 billion share-purchase plan. On November 1, 2012, we announced that the Board of Directors had authorized an additional $10 billion share-purchase plan, which became effective on November 30, 2012.

In the first quarter of 2013, we purchased approximately 170 million shares of our common stock for approximately $4.6 billion under our publicly announced share-purchase plans. In the first quarter of 2012, we purchased approximately 77 million shares of our common stock for approximately $1.7 billion under our publicly announced share-purchase plans. After giving effect to share purchases through March 31, 2013, our remaining share-repurchase authorization was approximately $7.2 billion.

Dividends on Common Stock

In April 2013, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.24 per share, payable June 4, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2013.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 1B. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Adoption of New Accounting Standards.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of March 31, 2013

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) upon derecognition of assets or investment within a foreign entity.
This new standard provides additional CTA accounting guidance on sales or transfers of foreign entity investments and assets as well as step acquisitions involving a foreign entity. The provisions of the new standard are effective January 1, 2014, but we do not expect the provisions of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
   
In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update regarding the measurement of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that may include debt agreements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation or judicial rulings. The provisions of this standard require that these obligations are measured at the amount representing the

82


agreed upon obligation of the company as well as additional liability amounts it expects to assume on behalf of other parties in the arrangement. The provisions of the new standard are effective January 1, 2014, but we do not expect the provisions of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

This report and other written or oral statements that we make from time to time contain forward-looking statements that set forth anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast,” “goal,” “objective,” "aim" and other words and terms of similar meaning or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, our anticipated future operating or financial performance, business plans and prospects, in-line products and product candidates, strategic reviews, capital allocation, business-development plans and plans related to share repurchases and dividends. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, plans relating to share repurchases and dividends, government regulation and financial results, including, in particular, the financial guidance set forth in the “Our Financial Guidance for 2013” section of this MD&A, the anticipated costs and cost savings set forth in the “Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives” section of this MD&A and the contributions that we expect to make from our general assets to the Company's pension and postretirement plans during 2013 as described in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 10. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past results and future plans and projected future results are the following:
the outcome of research and development activities including, without limitation, the ability to meet anticipated clinical trial commencement and completion dates, regulatory submission and approval dates, and launch dates for product candidates, as well as the possibility of unfavorable clinical trial results, including unfavorable new clinical data and additional analyses of existing clinical data;
decisions by regulatory authorities regarding whether and when to approve our drug applications, as well as their decisions regarding labeling, ingredients and other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of our products;

the ability to meet generic and branded competition after the loss of patent protection for our products or competitor products;
the ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally;
difficulties or delays in manufacturing;
trade buying patterns;
the impact of existing and future legislation and regulatory provisions on product exclusivity;
trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment;
the impact of the U.S. Budget Control Act of 2011 (the Budget Control Act) and the deficit-reduction actions to be taken pursuant to the Budget Control Act in order to achieve the deficit-reduction targets provided for therein, and the impact of any broader deficit-reduction efforts;

the impact of U.S. healthcare legislation enacted in 2010—the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act––and of any modification or repeal of any of the provisions thereof;
U.S. legislation or regulatory action affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical product pricing, reimbursement or access, including under Medicaid, Medicare and other publicly funded or subsidized health programs; the importation of prescription drugs from outside the U.S. at prices that are regulated by governments of various foreign countries; direct-to-consumer advertising and interactions with healthcare professionals; and the use of comparative effectiveness methodologies that could be implemented in a manner that focuses primarily on the cost differences and minimizes the therapeutic differences among pharmaceutical products and restricts access to innovative medicines;
legislation or regulatory action in markets outside the U.S. affecting pharmaceutical product pricing, reimbursement or access, including, in particular, continued government-mandated price reductions for certain biopharmaceutical products in certain European and emerging market countries;
the exposure of our operations outside the U.S. to possible capital and exchange controls, expropriation and other restrictive government actions, changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, as well as political unrest and unstable governments and legal systems;
contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination;
claims and concerns that may arise regarding the safety or efficacy of in-line products and product candidates;
any significant breakdown, infiltration or interruption of our information technology systems and infrastructure;
legal defense costs, insurance expenses, settlement costs, the risk of an adverse decision or settlement and the adequacy of reserves related to product liability, patent protection, government investigations, consumer, commercial, securities, antitrust, environmental and tax issues, ongoing efforts to explore various means for resolving asbestos litigation, and other legal proceedings;
our ability to protect our patents and other intellectual property, both domestically and internationally;
interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, including the impact of possible currency devaluations in countries experiencing high inflation rates;
governmental laws and regulations affecting domestic and foreign operations, including, without limitation, tax obligations and changes affecting the tax treatment by the U.S. of income earned outside the U.S. that may result from pending and possible future proposals;
any significant issues involving our largest wholesaler customers, which account for a substantial portion of our revenues;
the possible impact of the increased presence of counterfeit medicines in the pharmaceutical supply chain on our    revenues and on patient confidence in the integrity of our medicines;
any significant issues that may arise related to the outsourcing of certain operational and staff functions to third parties, including with regard to quality, timeliness and compliance with applicable legal requirements and industry standards;
changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
uncertainties related to general economic, political, business, industry, regulatory and market conditions including, without limitation, uncertainties related to the impact on us, our customers, suppliers and lenders and counterparties to our foreign-exchange and interest-rate agreements of challenging global economic conditions and recent and possible future changes in global financial markets; and the related risk that our allowance for doubtful accounts may not be adequate;
any changes in business, political and economic conditions due to actual or threatened terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world, and related U.S. military action overseas;
growth in costs and expenses;
changes in our product, segment and geographic mix;
our ability to successfully implement any strategic alternative that we decide to pursue with regard to our remaining approximately 80% ownership interest in Zoetis Inc. and the impact thereof; and
the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product recalls and withdrawals and other unusual items, including our ability to realize the projected benefits of our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, including those related to our research and development organization.


84


We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form
10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports and our other filings with the SEC.

Our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past and projected future results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading “Risk Factors.” We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K/A in this filing and investors should refer to it. Reference is also made to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
 
This report includes discussion of certain clinical studies relating to various in-line products and/or product candidates. These studies typically are part of a larger body of clinical data relating to such products or product candidates, and the discussion herein should be considered in the context of the larger body of data. In addition, clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations, and, even when we view data as sufficient to support the safety and/or effectiveness of a product candidate or a new indication for an in-line product, regulatory authorities may not share our views and may require additional data or may deny approval altogether.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
 
Information with respect to legal proceedings and contingencies required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information required by this item is incorporated by reference from the discussion under the heading Financial Risk Management in our 2012 Financial Report, which was filed as Exhibit 13 to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
 
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we do wish to highlight some changes which, taken together, are expected to have a favorable impact on our controls over a multi-year period. We continue to pursue a multi-year initiative to outsource some transaction-processing activities within certain accounting processes and are migrating to a consistent enterprise resource planning system across the organization. These are enhancements of ongoing activities to support the growth of our financial shared service capabilities and standardize our financial systems. None of these initiatives is in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Tax Matters
 
Additional information with respect to tax matters required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 5B. Tax Matters: Tax Contingencies in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
We account for income tax contingencies using a benefit recognition model. If our initial assessment fails to result in the recognition of a tax benefit, we regularly monitor our position and subsequently recognize the tax benefit: (i) if there are changes in tax law, analogous case law or there is new information that sufficiently raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to "more likely than not"; (ii) if the statute of limitations expires; or (iii) if there is a completion of an audit resulting in a favorable settlement of that tax year with the appropriate agency. We regularly re-evaluate our tax positions based on the results of audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, statute of limitations expirations, changes in tax law or receipt of new information that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the “more-likely-than-not” standard.
 
Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire, as we treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution. Finalizing audits with the relevant taxing authorities can include formal administrative and legal proceedings, and, as a result, it is difficult to estimate the timing and range of possible changes related to our uncertain tax positions, and such changes could be significant.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The “Our Operating Environment” and “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results” sections of the MD&A and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A are incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes from the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Set forth below is an expansion of the disclosure that was included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10K/A concerning counterfeit products as a risk factor.

Counterfeit Products

A counterfeit medicine is one that has been deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled as to its identity and source. A counterfeit Pfizer medicine, therefore, is one manufactured by someone other than Pfizer, but which appears to be the same as an authentic Pfizer medicine. The prevalence of counterfeit medicines is a significant and growing industry-wide issue due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the widespread use of the internet, which has greatly facilitated the ease by which counterfeit medicines can be advertised, purchased and delivered to individual patients; the availability of sophisticated technology that makes it easier for counterfeiters to make counterfeit medicines; the growing involvement in the medicine supply chain of under-regulated wholesalers and repackagers; the importation of medicines across borders; and the relatively modest risk of penalties faced by counterfeiters. Further, laws against pharmaceutical counterfeiting vary greatly from country to country, and the enforcement of existing law varies greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, in some countries, pharmaceutical counterfeiting is not a crime; in others, it may result in only minimal sanctions. In addition, those involved in the distribution of counterfeit medicines use complex transport routes in order to evade customs controls by disguising the true source of their products.

Counterfeit medicines pose a risk to patient health and safety because of the conditions under which they are manufactured—often in unregulated, unlicensed, uninspected and unsanitary sites—as well as the lack of regulation of their contents. Failure to mitigate the threat of counterfeit medicines, which is exacerbated by the complexity of the supply chain, could adversely impact our business, by, among other things, causing the loss of patient confidence in the Pfizer name and in the integrity of our medicines, potentially resulting in lost sales, product recalls, and an increased threat of litigation.

We undertake significant efforts to counteract the threats associated with counterfeit medicines, including, among other things, working with the FDA and other regulatory authorities and multinational coalitions to combat the counterfeiting of medicines and supporting efforts by law enforcement authorities to prosecute counterfeiters; assessing new and existing technologies to seek to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to copy our products and easier for patients and healthcare providers to distinguish authentic from counterfeit medicines; implementing business practices designed to protect patient health; promoting public policies intended to hinder counterfeiting; and working collaboratively with wholesalers, pharmacies, customs offices, and law enforcement agencies to increase inspection coverage, monitor distribution channels, and improve surveillance of

distributors and repackagers. No assurance can be given, however, that our efforts and the efforts of others will be successful, and the presence of counterfeit medicines may continue to increase.
