Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangement and Equity-Method Investments

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), a privately held, specialty pharmaceutical company, completed on November 27, 2012. The total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $442 million, which consisted of upfront payments to NextWave's shareholders of approximately $278 million and contingent consideration with an estimated acquisition-date fair value of approximately $164 million. We recorded $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. In the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013, as a result of lowered commercial forecasts, the fair value of the contingent consideration decreased and we recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $128 million and $109 million, respectively, in Other (income)/deductions––net.

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.

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.

B. Divestitures

Animal Health Business—Zoetis Inc.

On June 24, 2013, we completed the full disposition of our Animal Health business (Zoetis). The full disposition was completed through a series of steps, including the formation of Zoetis, an initial public offering (IPO) of an approximate 19.8% interest in Zoetis and an exchange offer for the remaining 80.2% interest.

Formation of Zoetis—On January 28, 2013, our then wholly owned subsidiary, Zoetis, issued $3.65 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. 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 $2.6 billion were used for dividends and stock buybacks.

Initial Public Offering (19.8% Interest)—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. 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.

Exchange Offer (80.2% Interest)—On June 24, 2013, we exchanged all of our remaining interest in Zoetis, 400.985 million shares of Class A common stock of Zoetis (after converting all of our Class B common stock into Class A common stock, representing approximately 80.2% of the total outstanding Zoetis shares), for approximately 405.117 million outstanding shares of Pfizer common stock on a tax-free basis pursuant to an exchange offer made to Pfizer shareholders. The $11.4 billion of Pfizer common stock received in the exchange transaction was recorded in Treasury stock and was valued using the opening price of Pfizer common stock on June 24, 2013, the date we accepted the Zoetis shares for exchange. For additional information, see Note 6. Certain Changes in Total Equity. The gain on the sale of the remaining interest in Zoetis was approximately $10.4 billion, net of income taxes resulting from certain legal entity reorganizations, and was recorded in Gain on disposal of discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013.

In summary, as a result of the above transactions, we received approximately $6.1 billion of cash and Treasury stock valued at $11.4 billion.

The operating results of the animal health business are reported as Income from discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 (through the disposal date) and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, the assets and liabilities associated with this business are classified as Assets of discontinued operations and other assets held for sale and Liabilities of discontinued operations, as appropriate. Prior period financial statements have been restated.

In connection with the above transactions, we entered into a transitional services agreement (TSA) and manufacturing and supply agreements (MSAs) with Zoetis that are designed to facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations to the standalone Zoetis entity. The TSA relates primarily to administrative services, which are generally to be provided within 24 months. Under the MSAs, we will manufacture and supply certain animal health products to Zoetis for a transitional period of up to 5 years, with an ability to extend, if necessary, upon mutual agreement of both parties. These agreements are not material and none confers upon us the ability to influence the operating and/or financial policies of Zoetis subsequent to June 24, 2013, the full disposition date.

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 Income from discontinued operations––net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 currently in Phase 3 development 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. Through September 29, 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 are being recognized in Other (income)/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.

D. Equity-Method Investments

Investment in ViiV Healthcare Limited

On August 12, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tivicay (dolutegravir), a product for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, developed by ViiV Healthcare Limited (ViiV), an equity-method investee. This approval, in accordance with the agreement between GlaxoSmithKline plc and Pfizer, triggered a reduction in our interest in ViiV from 13.5% to 12.6% and an increase in GlaxoSmithKline plc's equity interest in ViiV from 76.5% to 77.4% effective October 1, 2013. As a result, in the third quarter of 2013, we recognized a loss of approximately $31 million in Other (income)/deductions––net. We continue to account for our investment in ViiV under the equity method due to the significant influence that we continue to have through our board representation and minority veto rights.

Investment in Hisun Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Company Limited

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 $459 million in Other (income)/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 $225 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 net income is recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net. As of September 29, 2013, the carrying value of our investment in Hisun Pfizer is approximately $1.4 billion, and the amount of our underlying equity in the net assets of Hisun Pfizer is approximately $750 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 amount allocated to other intangible assets is being amortized into Other (income)/deductions––net over an average estimated useful life of 25 years.
